Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?

"What...?

Rescuers on the run? No way......, you're a houndster!? No, it doesn't have to be! Anyway, we have to hurry!

"We're on our way! No, just Yuki first! I'll catch up with you soon."

"Yes!"

Drop off the running away yuki and get in touch with Anna and the others.

"This is North River, we have a sign of a rescuer. Apparently, other adventurers are after us!

"! Roger! Where's the place?

"... wait a minute"

I answered by matching the information from the link with Yuki with the map app on my smartphone.

"It's 9-6 on map 4! Moving southwest!

"Roger that, Sz! I'll be on my way!... In case you are using a hound, avoid fighting whenever possible. Immediate emergency evacuation in some cases…"

"... ok"

I snorted as I roamed for a moment.

... Only users and their cards can escape with the demonic props of emergency evacuation.

What Anna was saying was to abandon the rescuers and run away at times of need.

While I snorted at it, I wasn't sure I could actually get away with abandoning the rescuers right away.

I might have gotten away with one or two of them if it was actually that scene...

If I hadn't tried that time, I wouldn't even know what I was going to do.

'Master, it's time to make contact... transform into a werewolf form?

'... no, let's not'

I said no to Yuki's suggestion.

Transforming into a werewolf form allowed Yuki to dramatically increase his fighting power, but instead had the disadvantage of being unable to use some of the higher ninjas.

Not all of them will be unavailable, but especially user-friendly techniques such as the art of change and the art of separation will be unavailable.

I didn't transform Yuki in the Sandy Plains because that's what happened.

Lycanslope's werewolf form was also his ability to discard all the dexterity of the human form and divide it into melee forces.

'More than that, it's time to use sync'

'Yes!'

Close your eyes and superimpose yourself with Yuki. When I opened my eyes, I was Yuki and Yuki was me.

Drive endlessly down a complex road at the speed of even slowly trailing through racing cars.

The walls and ceilings have nothing to do with this body. I can run just like the ground.

That was not only the good performance of this body, but also the power of higher ninja.

The art of change and all sorts of tricks are not the only ninjas. Physical surgery, which brings out all of his own agility, was also a clean ninja.

and then a slight voice came to Yuki's ear.

- Ha-ha-ha, what the hell, you! He attacked me suddenly...!

The voice of a young woman. This must be the rescuer. I felt something familiar in that voice, but my vision blew away when I heard the next voice.

- Ha ha, awesome upper balls. I knew you weren't. I can't believe you just took my card and killed me. At least not since I fucked him one shot...

The spine bubbled. Thoughts spin rapidly.

... only take the cards and kill them!? Hey, Koz, no way......!

Faster feet and run through the aisle like wind.

That's how the thing I saw at the end of the bend was a rescue-like woman ambushed on the ground and a young blonde man covering it.

Lizardman and Bore Oak, standing beside him, look back here - Yuki's right leg slipping through its side faster than he did, kicking the man hard.

An all-powerful blow that also takes advantage of the momentum of running. The man, who flew to be bounced, bounced the walls and floors again and again like a pinball, and at the end of the day he was slapped to the wall and stopped.

"... Gah!?

One beat late, the men's cards spit blood hard. Lizardman lost it as it was and Bore Oak knelt.

Not to mention Lizardman and Bore Oak with excellent vitality and sturdiness, it seemed like they couldn't take all the damage that humans would die from over and over again. Still, should I just say that one left?

"Ah, but... what, but!?

I turned to the woman who was being attacked, approaching the man who raised the voice of confusion.

I shouldn't have been able to afford to 'do it' in time... but when I saw the woman's face while I thought so, I was stunned and I almost solved the sync.

"Uh...?

The woman with her mouth open and her wolf... No, the girl's face was something I knew very well too.

... Shinomiya!? Why, here!?

That's what I was about to ask, and I can enjoy it at your place.

Now, this guy's opponent comes first.

Looking back, a man recovered from the mess was staring at this one hatefully.

... about twenty years old. Shorter tinted blonde hair, piercing and arm tattoos...... I get the impression of a player at first glance. The light atmosphere was too different from the signs of the master felt from that Anubis.

After all, it's not the houndster himself, is it? The cards I use are also Lizardman and Bore Oak.

But there's a good chance he's one of them. A colleague, or a subordinate...... It's called being sent a rescue request, is it inferior in view of this indiscretion?

I just thought about it a little bit and decided to transform Yuki into a werewolf form.

Higher ninja makes it harder to use, but if a hound user is obsessed with using dog-based cards...!

The harder my heart beats, the more energy my body will swell from the inside out. It's never an illusion, the body expands rapidly as it proves it. The cockroach makes a noise and the skeleton deforms, and deliberately lustrous body hair covers the entire body......

"Ugh, gu...!

I connect desperately that the synchronous link is going to break to the unlikely sensation in that human being.

A few seconds in time but a few minutes physically, enduring the feeling of stomping in a wild storm, suddenly came the refreshment of sunny weather.

The transformation is over. Synchronization is also stable.

I asked the man who was stunned by his sudden transformation.

"... hey, what the hell are you doing?

"Oh, hey...... Lycanslope, no way!?

To my inquiry, no, I strengthened my certainty to a man who was obviously upset to see Lycanslope.

Koitsu, I still know hounds......!

Next, what should I ask? Think of questions that you can pull out as much information as possible and yet you can't question......!

"... did you have an order to do this?

What do you say!? There has been no sexual harm to the victim so far. I mean, this is likely to be his arbitrariness! There is no way I would tolerate an act that could lead to such identification from a hound user who is good at erasing his trail by being obstinate!

"Oh, no...!

The man was no longer in a complete state of wolf.

"Excuse me! I was watching my target dive into the labyrinth, as I was told, and she was an awesome type of woman... with!

……

Right, Koitsu, you were a watchman!

Perhaps it's a mechanism whereby a lower end like Koitz reports to the watchdog user which labyrinth the target has entered.

Nice, after all, he doesn't seem very smart.

In the first place, I find myself quite an asshole at a time when a rescue request is being sent and other adventurers are on their way to rescue, trying to rape me slowly.

... No, well, maybe you haven't noticed that a rescue request has been made?

The rescue request issued from the licence may also be refused incoming.

The alarm sounds pretty loud, so it's usually annoying if it rings late at night, and people and so on who don't have shards they're going to rescue in the first place often keep turning it off all the time. I also refused to call before going to bed or while going to school, and sometimes forgot to cancel as it was.

But even with that in mind, you're an asshole.

More importantly, we don't talk about it at a time when we don't have gremlins available like hounds.

Most of all, that's a story I can see that if he's just a lookout, he doesn't distribute gremlins to such a lower end...

Convinced that he was an asshole, I decided to ask him a deeper question.

"... don't be ridiculous! Tell me what orders I gave you!

But the moment I asked that question, the man's complexion changed.

"... ah? Me? You, man!? Isn't that him?

"Huh!?

A man gets more alert at once and takes the cards out of his nose.

Was the hound a woman...!

"Come! Anubis!

"Nah!?

Anubis, too!? Stupid! How much room can you afford to distribute B-ranks to such a lower end!?

But it was undoubtedly Anubis who showed up, grinning like a man had won.

"... chip!

I jumped out of a hidden bend when I pounded my tongue.

As a matter of fact, we had already arrived here during the conversation so far.

"Mr. Shinosomiya!

"Malo!? How did you get here!?

Embrace her stunned without question and put her on top of the dragonet.

She will also be involved if it comes to fighting the B-rank cards. Exactly, I couldn't afford to fight while sheltering.

But things change even more here.

"- Senior!" "I was asking you about the situation at the badge, you were good!

"Anna! Weave!

It was a different move. The two of them joined.

Besides, opposite me, the form of pinching a man.

This timing and position, just wouldn't be a coincidence.

He was relaying on the badge, listening to me and the guy talking, hiding!

"Nah......!

A man suddenly blocked from exiting and in distress compares Anna and I in a hurry.

At the rear, Elves and Pegasus have three C-rank cards for earthspiders. Forward, Lycanslope and Dragonette.

"... Anubis! Kick the Lycanslope there fast and get me out of here!

The man chose us, naturally. In order for him to be helpful in this situation, we have to forcefully break through the thinner of us.

... but.

"Anubis! What are you doing? Hurry up!

For some reason Anubis doesn't move. Calmly compare us to the man who is the master...

"... unavoidable,"

I shrugged so small that I jumped the man's neck.

We just had to look at the neck of a man dancing in the universe with a look like we didn't know what was going on.

That's in the sight of doubting my eyes because even an experienced adventurer, no, an experienced adventurer...

I felt the world I believed to be absolute, making noises and breaking away.

Stupid......! Cards shouldn't harm their masters no matter what......

Wasn't that really his card? No, I did confirm that he would summon with this eye. Did the original master remotely summon you to coincide with his summons? It can't be either. The card can only be summoned from hand, and it is impossible to summon from away.

A man's neck falls to the ground in front of me in confusion. At that moment, Bore Oak, who had been completely forgotten about Anubis and his existence, erupted blood from his neck and lost it.

Feedback for damage to the card. That was proof that these two cards were men's cards.

"... Cah, cah!

So a tall scream broke through the silence. The Lord of Screams was Mr. Shinosomiya.

Unlike me and Anna, she's just a real high school girl. I can't help but panic about a sudden tragedy.

But we couldn't afford to comfort her like that either.

A trust that can also be called an absolute safety myth about cards...... no one could say anything to the sight in front of them that betrays it.

Eventually, Anna squeaks pompously.

"... of curses, cards"

It was an urban legend that sometime became whispered.

Strange card I got in the labyrinth one day. A strange card that was sometime misplaced in my hand. Cheap card bought to be pushed by a suspicious woman on the corner......

The introduction of the story varies, but the process and the end are all the same.

Something that has gotten me a curse card is something that is attacked by different misfortunes and at the end of the day killed by that card......

This urban legend, which came to be whispered with the spread of the adventurer boom, was considered a thing born out of vague anxiety about the inexperienceable: the labyrinth and the card.

But what if it's not a crappy urban legend or something, but something that comes from a clean truth story...?

Some stories about curse cards become killers who are manipulated by cards to attack their families and acquaintances......

The card manipulates me... it feels like I remember myself...

"Stupid......!

Shake off the suspicions that were past your head.

But Lianhua and Suzuka's, that's just the curse card...

"... Hey! What the hell, this! Oh, no way you guys did it!?

So came the adventurers who came with other rescue requests.

I felt like someone else was about to make a big deal out of them staring at me in the eyes of war.
