The rain storm blows hard on my skin.

I wore a robe, and I was in a strong storm staining my underwear.

"... it's about time"

It sounds as if the voice I could hear from next door was spoken directly to my ear.

Normally in such a big storm, you can't possibly hear that voice.

That liaison, Tease, will be attributed to the Lord of Voices... Lorraine being an exceptional magician.

Whether it's in a storm or some distance, she has as much power to deliver the word as she can.

In this situation, where you only have enough distance to reach that cheek if you almost reach it, it's easy enough to make the talking voice sound so clearly in your ear.

"Oh... I don't really see him,"

In the direction of my gaze, I could see a giant pile of clouds that would have caused this storm.

Its black cloud, which occupies its sight vertically, was slowly approaching this way, wrapped in blue thunder.

If it is, we don't have a reason why we have to relate to that stuff.

If a disaster strikes, it is normal that the means to respond to it hides and holds its head in a sturdy less dangerous building that can protect itself as much as possible.

For me and Lorraine, the building is nothing more than Lorraine's house, because if we were in that one with so many magical reinforcements, we wouldn't be afraid of a big storm coming.

But where we are now was a small village square far from the city of Multo, where it is based.

Around ten houses are built to stand close to each other, and the doors of any of those buildings are now tightly closed.

Nothing, it's not that we're tight... but of course we've instructed the inhabitants of this village to keep it caged.

The truth is that for a while I recommended opening this village and taking refuge in a place where disaster could be avoided, either in the city malt or in other towns, but that was unacceptable.

Because it has been said that it is not so easy for those who live in these rural villages to follow the land they have inherited from their fathers for generations.

I didn't throw it away, just about open it for a dozen days, but it still didn't work.

We can't solve all this by having a discussion, and we have no choice but to be in this place.

Of course, that's to remove the cause of that storm.

"Normally people would say it's stupid, such as taking away thunderclouds..."

Lorraine tells me to mock myself, but I laugh and answer.

"If other than us say so, maybe... but it's something I've been thinking about many times. The way you do it, it's in your head, right? All you have to do is do it."

"Oh... right. Never again, I won't make a mistake. Not a single one of you will die, and I will blow that thundercloud away."

That's what I said. There was determination in Lorraine's face.

It's terribly hard to see because of the rain storm, but I can still understand in her mind just because of the glow in her eyes.

I know about Lorraine.

And more than that, because I feel the same way myself.

I recall.

that a few years ago we had the exact same situation as this......

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... escort a transport vehicle for evacuation supplies to the village of Ayik? You're sure there weren't twenty houses there when you said people lived there?

That's what Lorraine said as she looked at the request board.

I nod watching the same request beside me.

"It must have been. Well, I think it was just a little bit of a despicable place... not as good as my parents'. Two days each way... it's convenient to see what you can afford. You can go back and forth enough in a week."

"So this amount isn't bad. I mean, it's urgent, you take it? If the carriage rocks you and makes you feel comfortable and this is all you get, it's inside. Recently, I've been wanting to distract myself from the progress of research."

"I don't think it feels so liberal. Evacuation supplies, that's because there's a storm coming around there, right? Pretty tough situation to assume."

Normally, information can't even come to Malt through the storm, but the Adventurers' Union Guild is building a relatively fast communication around it that connects long distances that can only be used in an emergency.

I know it's a luxurious use of flying dragons, magicians, magic props, etc., but it would be the character of Adventurer Union leader Guildmaster to make use of such things for a small village.

Other cities are more likely to be abandoned...

That's why it was a dialogue I didn't think I could get out of hand.

To this, Lorraine,

"... I know. I just don't want to put too much effort into my shoulders and get stuck in the field. Let's keep our heads together."

That's what I said and nodded.

Well, I've been an adventurer for years.

Lorraine already has enough experience to say she's a full adventurer.

If it's simple strength, it's on me a long time ago, but it's small… or I'm well equipped and able to practice basic knowledge and skills.

Couldn't you have known she was like that?

"Well, I'm sorry."

When I apologize for insulting you, Lorraine says.

"I don't mind... but we're in a hurry. I'll fight for a moment."

"Oh."

And we were immediately asked to rendezvous with the transporter of supplies and headed to the village.

That was good.

Problem is, after we get there.

"In this storm...... if you're in the village, you'll die!

That's what Lorraine told the village chief.

But the mayor's words to it were without an island to attach.

"... no. If this is about a storm, I've been through it a few times. I'm fine. Than that, it really helped me to bring supplies...... We can't cause you any more trouble. Please, hurry up, let's get this village behind us... we'll be in the center of the storm tomorrow."

I mean, if we actually looked at the village, the village had already been hit by a storm, and its scale was incredible.

This is not the level of evacuation supplies, but it is also predicted that there will be much more powerful rainstorms tomorrow than this.

This was also thought to be a certainty from the standpoint of the travel-accustomed pedestrians arranged by the Adventurers' Union Guild.

That's why we all recommended evacuating the villagers, but they stubbornly turned it down.

Because of these big two things: no problem from previous experience, and you can't leave your father's land.

That seemed ridiculous from us, but their will was strong.

That's why

…… Well, we'll stay here too... the pedestrian lord will be back. "

That's what Lorraine started claiming.

"Lorraine......"

"Lent. This storm is not a simple natural phenomenon. To see, it is true that the storm in the centre is locally strong, but with all this rain storm in this village the malt was clear...... you can imagine what that means?

There was a pin in her words.

"... you're a monster. The type that calls the storm...... Stormdragon, Stormdragon, StormWyvern, StormEagle..."

"Ah. I mean, if you pay them off, the storm will stop...... why don't you try?

That's what I said. Lorraine was just a little anxious.

I was young these days, to think.

Me too, Lorraine.

I didn't have as much trust as I do now, and I don't think they knew what they were thinking.

That's why Lorraine's expression.

But at this time I... wanted to live up to Lorraine's feelings.

I didn't know how far I could go, but if Lorraine is here, there's a way to deal with the fact that she's an empty demon.

And after the storm left, he also said he could help rebuild the village... because that's what he thought.

I actually decided to follow that feeling.

Wait for the storm to approach and defeat the demons in its center......

If you ask me, it's a simple solution, and I don't think there's anything I can do.

It wasn't until after it was all over that I found out that it was a mistake.

"... really, that helped. If you two hadn't stayed...... I think all of us would have died. So don't worry..."

That's what the village chief said after everything was done.

Of the thirty villagers, twenty survived.

Almost all the houses collapsed, and the place where the village was was drank by the great storm and collapsed.

Me and Lorraine worked hard to rescue in it... managed to save twenty people, but the other ten...

He told me to pay the full price, to rebuild the village, and we left the village behind.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

It was a bitter experience.

It's bitter everywhere...... but an experience I can't even forget.

That's why neither me nor Lorraine put it in my mouth, but I kept thinking about what was wrong then and what I should have done.

And today was the time to try that answer.

"... here we are!

That's what Lorraine screams when the village almost enters the center of the storm.

Almost at the same time, a large number of demons came down from above.

"... Storm Eagle" Storm Aquila ". Same as then..."

Whimpering, I chop off the demons that approach me calmly.

Fortunately, my own sword arm and strength have increased with a strange tour.

Back then, I had a lot of trouble knocking one down, but not now.

Even then, Lorraine was able to kill each and every one of them... but it was only when the storm eagle (Storm Aquila) raids came to a halt that she knew was not enough to weather the storm.

This time too......

"... I knew it, you jerked off"

"Oh... Lent, I'm gonna smash him first!

I saw a small shadow in the distance.

After that thought, little by little it had grown, and by the time it came to our sight, it had grown to the size of a single house.

"... Tempest Aquila, the Great Storm Eagle. So this guy leads the herd...!

"Same as then...... but we already know. I'll knock you down!"

Yes, this giant eagle demon led hundreds of Storm Eagles (Storm Aquila) to maintain this massive black cloud.

Such ecology was not grasped at the time, but after that event, Lorraine gathered information and made it clear.

We naturally didn't know about it at the time, and there was a place where we were working on it up high, probably to the extent that there was a slightly larger swarm of storm eagles.

In fact, in those days it was assumed to be right, and it was said that the black clouds were small in size for hundreds of flocks to form.

But that's all just an excuse.

Me and Lorraine failed then.

Bracket the height, missee the target, and make a lot of sacrifices.

That won't happen this time.

I won't do that.

We knock on the attack as the Great Storm Eagle approaches.

First, I couldn't slip through, and I waved my sword and slapped one of its wings off.

You can fly all those giants into the sky because they support your body by magic, so you can't let them lose their ability to fly as much as they cut their wings if they were meant to.

But the Great Storm Eagle is a rare type of demon that relies on its wings for much of its buoyancy.

Instead, it divides the bulk of its magical abilities into the power to create black clouds and the ability to lead many storm eagles.

I guess the more Stormdragon you become, the more you can combine everything, but in demons like the Great Storm Eagle, there's no vessel that can instill magic in everything.

That's why the Great Storm Eagle lost its ability to fly in that blow.

But I can still move low altitude at high speeds.

I'm not a good opponent to be alert to...

"... Iron Blade (Barzel Sifra)!"

Towards the approaching Great Storm Eagle, Lorraine calmly chanted so, cutting off the other wing.

The Great Storm Eagle, thus completely out of balance, falls in so that it can be rubbed against the ground.

Still, it's horrible not to lose your spirit of struggle, to stand up and try to strike at us, and storm eagles strike at us from the sky again if it's the order of the Great Storm Eagle.

But there's no mistake about the priorities.

I kicked the ground towards the Great Storm Eagle, wielded my sword, and chopped its neck off.

The giants of the Great Storm Eagle lose all power with it, and the Storm Eagles who were flying around them either because they lost their instructions or because they jump around like they were so confused in the direction of the variance.

"... after all, the storm won't go away"

Said Lorraine as she looked up into the sky.

"Ah... the Great Storm Eagle is bound by the power of the Storm Eagles to create it. I mean... we have to do something about all of these guys,"

"Defeating them all is a hassle. But we have to do something about the storm... so we just have to let these guys do something about the storm voluntarily..."

"Oh. I asked for it."

I know the story around here because I was already solid before I took this request.

Just a confirmation.

Lorraine nods at my words and casts a spell.

Then a giant demon appears in front of us… it was moving earlier.

I mean, it was a phantom of the Great Storm Eagle.

"Come on... invite the Storm Eagles to the desert..."

When Lorraine says so, the Phantom of the Great Storm Eagle slaps the atmosphere with its wings and jumps up.

Seeing the appearance, the Storm Eagles put aside the confusion and began to chase the phantoms of the Great Storm Eagle.

Lorraine flies the Great Storm Eagle far across the mountain.

And a storm eagle follows it, and a black cloud moves on.

After a while......

"... ugh. Well, that'll be enough. The scale of the black clouds was gradually decreasing, and sooner or later, the black clouds themselves would disappear."

"Tired."

By the time I said that, the storm had stopped completely already.

The stars are blinking in the sky, and the three suns and moons illuminate the village slightly.

Just bright enough for my eyes, but maybe a little for Lorraine.

Well, she has witchcraft, so she'll be able to do something about it at night.

"... hey"

Lorraine shrugged, so I turned to you.

"What?

and asked, she said.

"... I wonder if I could get my revenge back then"

"I don't know. At that time, the deceased would never return."

"... right"
