Monster no Goshujin-sama

25. Proof of Friendship

25.

"'Aerial Night'......? Is that Kanahiko's inherent ability to hold cheats?

"That sort of thing"

Kanahiko nodded, shrugging her shoulders.

"Even so, unfortunately, it's a much soggier category as an ability. If it's not an article I'm used to handling, I can't move it well. Yeah, I can only move it so I can handle it. It's an inconvenient ability."

With daggers floating in the air, it's probably a form of psychokinesis, but conditions seem to be tough for a long time.

Rather, perhaps its essence lies in 'creating another self in the void'.

This is Kanahiko Tachigi's cheat ability as a transferee of the other world.

... was what Kanahiko had been hiding.

"Sorry, shut up"

As he looked back, Kanahiko had a lowered grin on his brow butt.

"Kanahiko..."

All but three of the transferees here in Fort Chile are survivors of the Residual Unit.

Unawakened by their ability to retain, they were trying to inspire that awakening by having combat training.

But I didn't even realize there was an exception there.

- It's me. I myself concealed my abilities from my disbelief in my surroundings.

Then it's no surprise that someone was doing just like me.

Even more so was he who was in a situation similar to mine.

And it makes a lot of sense that my kind has now revealed their secrets on this occasion. That's why I found out.

"Believe me, I can't even tell you how torn my mouth is, but somehow I'm gonna make this place look good."

As Kanahiko himself said, unfortunately, 'Aerial Night' is not a very powerful ability.

Kanahiko knows exactly what will happen to us if we try to buy enough time to escape. Still, he pulled out his sword to leave it to himself to express the alien powers of the Tiger Son.

You can't let us die.

It was a statement of readiness and a proof of friendship.

...... oh. I mean, apparently, I'm late for a friend.

Perhaps the decision was almost simultaneous. However, the difference between whether or not the other important person is on this occasion has subtly changed the time it takes to move it into action.

But that's it, too.

No more, you can't be late.

"Of course, I'm not going to die here either, so I'll follow you as soon as I get the right amount of time. So Takahiro..."

"Sorry, Kanahiko. That proposal is dismissed."

Kanahiko showed me friendship. Then I'll respond to that too.

I hung my hand on a white cloth wrapped around my left hand like a bandage.

I have no hesitation because I think this is the only way to respond to the minds of my friends.

White cloth flips. Kanahiko's eyes under his glasses open wide.

"I don't need to buy time. Let's all live and get out of here."

I proclaimed, following the parasitic marinade Asalina, which stretches long from my left hand.

"Gosh, Dj, Sama! Sama!"

Listening to Asarina's joyous voice, I asked Rose to remove the gawa of the "pseudo-Damascus steel sword", which I had been working on and rolled onto the floor. I didn't even have to hide this anymore.

"Lily asks for Tetra Sickle. It would be a pain in the ass if there was a mix-up. And stop coming over here."

"Roger, sir."

When I gave the instructions, Lily responded with a bounced voice.

As she rode on my left shoulder, with her face raised from the collar of her clothes, this one snorted happily.

"Yah, yah! Mo, monster!?

Seeing him quit, Kay screamed and lagged behind.

I feel a little lonely when I see the color of fear floating around my unusual face, which is something I can't help but do.

"Takahiro, oh, don't be dangerous. There's a monster on your shoulder! Oh, that? But that one grew up from Takahiro...?

"It's not dangerous. These guys are the exception."

I said, mindful of the gentlest voice possible.

"Because the power I have been given is to be able to follow monsters"

"Can you... obey the monster?

"I see. You mean that? Takahiro too..."

Kanahiko, on the other hand, was quick to understand the boulders. He smiles at his mouth and looks just a little bumpy.

"Huh? Huh? Hey, wait a minute. What do you mean...?

"I'm sorry, but I don't have time to explain."

And I said unto Kay, whose eyes were black-and-white, and beheld Lily.

"Now let's just think about getting through this."

Lily nodded and ran out. For seconds now, she had also noticed that the signs of strife across the bend had disappeared. I heard a feather behind my back.

Tetra Sickle, who wiped out the soldiers, came this way by turning the corner.

If you get attacked at the same time as Tetra Sickle and Fire Fang, you just can't protect them. Lily had to turn to one interception. She wouldn't even take credit for her first sight enemy.

So it was our job to deal with Fire Fang.

"I'll do the avant-garde. Kanahiko needs backup."

"That's... yeah. Copy that."

He was Kanahiko, who objected, but immediately nodded and pulled back.

This is a simple division of roles. I'd rather have a shield if I were to do the avant-garde, and I'd need Kay's escort. I shook my head at Kanahiko, who looked slightly bitter, and I rushed out.

"I asked for Kay!

I guess I realized by wild instinct that Lily's absence reduced the threat. Fire Fang began to run as he threw out the body of the knight he had covered.

If they get too close, they could get the Kays involved in the fight.

Hold your legs first. While running, I stuck out my left arm with a shield.

"Do it, don't!

"Geez!"

A quit clinging to his left shoulder swelled his body like a balloon, throwing out flame bullets.

A flame runs down the corridor of bricks. Fire Fang flipped himself with an impending flame bullet. So far, as assumed. Asalina, who was flying out of my left hand at the same time as a flamebullet, strikes a wolf who has slightly collapsed.

"Guru ah!

This was also painfully avoided by Fire Fang leaping. Not only did it land or hit a long, defenseless stretch of crawl, biting with its sharp fangs.

"Goshzi -"

There is a bump and a noise and Asalina's head is severed.

"-Samah!"

Immediately, a new head grew from the incision.

Asalina's head is only part of a plant body. You can stretch as much as you want unless you run out of magic you've sucked up and accumulated from me in the normal course of time, and you won't die unless you're even rooted for it.

As Asarina wrapped her crawling body around the wolf's forefoot, she ate it on its shoulder with her regenerated head. As a result, me and Fire Fang will be connected via Asalina.

And I gave instructions to Asalina through the pass, and constricted her.

"... ugh!

As soon as the left arm is pulled in a stiff momentum. I kicked the ground without resisting its power.

Spread magic around your body to increase your strength to the bottom with all you can right now.

Not only that, but the stretched roots of the asalina from the back of the left hand to the middle of the forearm further reinforce the arm, thus not exposing the joints to pain as before. This was the result of the special training that continued on the journey from Arakune's nest to the north.

I also have the physical ability to control posture. Distance clogs like flying. Fire Fang, whose vision grew bigger, stretched his limbs to the ground.

My mouth flickered. Red flames overflow from the back of my throat.

"Guru ah!

With the roar, the flames spread in front of me. - I don't mind. And I lifted the shield of my left hand up in the front, and thrust it from the front into the flame.

"Gu!"

That's a monster deep in the tree sea. A round shield made of rose prevented most of the flames, but in just a moment, the clothes distributed after coming to this fort burned up.

But that's it.

Underneath is a white spider featuring even brave hero Tan - a specialty further reinforced by Rose, with garments carefully woven by Gabella, a high monster. Where it was broiled with this degree of flame, there is no such thing as

"Eat it. Yeah!

I put up a shield and ran through the flames, and I hit Fire Fang with every body as it was. It's literal flesh bullets. Fire Fang, whose shield is slapped on the nose, screams properly and pulls back.

But I also fell ill due to the shock. Hurry up and get in shape. At the same time, chills. Jump to the sidelines. sounded right and my jaw chewed up where I was just now.

... The bump should have been more advantageous here, but did you rebuild it almost simultaneously? After all, I can't catch up with monsters because of my physical abilities.

But I can handle it well enough. Compared to the devilish speed of Gabella, who was serving as my training opponent, there was no such thing as this degree.

The wolf's flank was exposed before my eyes, who dodged it.

"Ooh!"

Excellent opportunity. Wave your sword with temper.

But shallow. Are you in a hurry? The blade slipped on the beast hair.

"Guru ah!

The claw of the counterattack is swept away, and I take it with my shield.

...... heavy. I was disfigured.

Before I get back on my feet, my fangs are imminent. And before his chin was shut, We let him bite his shield, and put it together.

"Ugh, gu gu..."

Though I avoided being bitten, my long fangs ate into my upper arm and my face was drawn to the pain.

Spraying exhalation. Fresh odor. Magic flows, signs of flames and a sense of crisis poppy the skin. I can't escape.

That means you don't have to let them get away with it.

"Don't make me, don't!

"Geez!"

- Stepping on my head, a spewing flame bullet of quitting jumping just high exploded on Fire Fang's defenseless back.

"Ooh!

To Fire Fang, whose body was slapped on the floor of the brick, I struck down my sword.

Blood splashes up. One swing he intended to drop his neck was cutting off one of Fire Fang's front legs, which stood up instantly.

A chased and cut back blow is also dodged backwards. One tongue punch. One more step and my immature swordsmanship arm will not reach fatal wounds.

Jumping back, Fire Fang stands on three legs. A dagger jumped in, slightly disfigured - towards its flank - for just a short time until it responded to a state of loss of one leg.

"Takahiro!

It was a dagger manipulated by Kanahiko's "Aerial Night".

I certainly felt then the presence of a friend in the void.

Following the left horizontal giraffe, the right Tangbamboo crack. Two swords eat into the wolf's belly. Though far from fatal, Kanahiko's sword, which was being trained, definitely inflicted a hand wound on Fire Fang.

Fire Fang is distracted by abrupt intruders. Even if you fight back, you don't see the enemy. That's why it's ridiculous.

"Gosh, Dj, Samaah!

You can't miss that gap. I wrapped Asalina around the wolf's neck.

This is a great opportunity. This time I won't miss it.

I still have no sword arm like Kanahiko. Probably not talented either. So I don't rely on that stuff.

Get ready and kick the ground with all your strength. Let Asarina pull herself back and advance with her sword.

Fire Fang strips out the wolf's sharp fangs in an attempt to intercept them. In its open mouth, I penetrated Rose's "Sword of pseudo-Damascus".

"Ahhh!

Asalina had done her job, Rose's masterpiece had a horrible cleavage, and the damage of the flamebullets she gave up had dulled Fire Fang's movements.

Nevertheless, even the shards hesitated, Fire Fang's fangs would have chewed me apart and inflicted shallow scratches. The battle survey was cultivated in training, and it was only obtained with the presence of Gabella, who acted as the opponent, and Lily, who assisted me.

Through the soft palate, the sword destroys the skull.

Shivering loudly at the end of the day, Fire Fang's body lost its power.

"... Did you do it?

Looking down at the fallen Fire Fang, I snapped.

If you finish, the injury is about a minor burn. Fatigue is quite good. I may have got nervous because this was my first time fighting for myself and got extra tired. Is there such a thing as reflective material around here?

Put your hands on your chest as you prepare rough exhales. The sound of a beating beat that sounds so loud. I can feel the aftermath of the battle on my hands.

That's crazy, I tilt my neck.

I was thinking that I would have enough chances to win right now. I thought we could do each other.... but the fact that I was actually able to defeat the monster seemed kind of like a dream event.

"Kiuuuuuu!

"Whew!?

And all of a sudden, when he had stopped, I seized the little body in haste.

Shaking his mundane tail, Ayagi licks my jaw with his tongue stretched out to the fullest extent.

The twirl surrounds me, and the clarina roars high. It was a triumphant song.

"... well. Did I really fight?"

Finally, there was a twitch and a sense of reality.

I smile unexpectedly and hold my fist for a long time.

I am not in a position to prefer contention, nor am I in a position to feel comfortable hurting something.

Still, I guess the laughter spilled at this time is that I was a man, too.

I had to survive in this other world first. I had no power to fight but to keep myself from getting caught up in it anyway. I have never felt conscious before, but I may have felt somewhere in my heart at the present time, protected by my sincerely cherished girlfriends.

I'm moving forward at least a little bit. I was purely pleased that it was felt.

"Takahiro!

"Hmm?"

If I was called out and turned my gaze, there was a little girl running over here.

Oh? And while I wonder, the distance gets more and more clogged.

"You're not hurt."

"Whew!?

At the aperture, Kay said so and grabbed the hem of my clothes. He ran so far away that his rough breath touched him that he had a strong gaze up at me.

"I can't believe you jumped in that fire! I thought I was gonna stop my heart!

"Ah, oh. I'm sorry. It's okay. I'm not hurt much, but..."

Confusion appeared in my voice.

"... aren't you scared?

Between Kay and I, who have been stuffed, my eyes are narrowing cramped, and Asalina, who surrounded me, is leaning her neck dozens of centimeters next to me. If I were a resident of this other world, I would only be a subject of fear right now.

But Kay rocked her golden hair and shook her first.

"Takahiro helped me twice."

……

Kay's response was childish and simple. I've been pounded in the chest, so much so that I can't return the words.

"Let me see if you're hurt, even if it's small, than that. I can use simple healing magic... ahhh!

Kay screamed as he touched my body with his pepper.

What a busy thing. Kids are usually so restless.

"Miho! What about Miho!?

"It's okay, 'cause I'm done over here"

Lily, who walked over here with Kanahiko, spoke to Kay.

That's just fast. Even monsters deep in the same tree sea were not Lily's opponents as they have swallowed many monsters.

"And you're Lily, not Miho. From now on, I'm glad you called me that."

"Li, Lili......?

Lily grinned at Kay, bewildered, and then turned to me.

"Good luck. I was going to rush as soon as I was done. I was a little surprised to knock you down just by your husband."

"I'm not the only one. Thanks to Azuma and Asarina. There were places where I could rely on weapons, and they were helpful."

I'm not going to deny my own advance, but I'm not going to fall for it.

"There were also some reflections. We have to keep this alive next."

"Hehe. Sounds like your husband."

I guess Lily seems happy because she knows I'm not being humble and saying that. I can still be strong. Because I think so, I smiled back at her, too.

"And you don't have much time to talk. The road is clear. And then..."

And I said, I noticed my gaze, and put my words to rest.

Kanahiko was looking at us.

"Ah..."

Until now, it was a state of emergency, but we kept secrets from each other. I can take it for granted that it gets awkward.

"Takahiro"

Kanahiko, who retrieved the dagger, walks over here.

The corner of his mouth hoisted more.

"Nice guts, Takahiro"

"... that way. Nice assist, Kanahiko"

I banged my fist against the fist that was pointed at me.

A short exchange, but that was enough to see what was between us.
