“It’s the Sanshakuto Asagao. An amazing named sword!”
“Aren’t you the leader over there? Is it okay to come here?”
“Of course! Reiki-sama is there, and Ran as well! Plus, if I’m the only one working, others won’t grow!”
“I see…”
Perhaps it’s because we haven’t seen each other in a while, but he seems unusually energetic.
I felt a little regretful that his eye couldn’t be healed, but I feel slightly relieved now.
He doesn’t seem to mind it at all.
But I’m genuinely happy that Tenda came.
If anything, he might be stronger than us.
I haven’t seen him fight much, but Uchikage said that Tenda used a technique similar to Heaven Split during a rescue mission. I think he’s probably the strongest in swordsmanship…
I’d like to learn from him too.
Now, what else…
“Roze, sorry! I brought everyone!”
“You startled me, you know. Well, it’s fine.”
“Since Lacc and the others are here, Jigal-kun has to take care of them… Once those two are completely together, we won’t have to worry! Good job, Ouren!”
“I don’t like being praised by you so openly…”
“What did you say!?”
This person really suits the tsundere attitude.
Well, I don’t dislike being praised, and this kind of conversation with her always comes in a set.
Anyway, it’s good to see that they’re all lively.
Now, let’s face reality.
Behind my companions is a massive cage… No, it’s Reizen’s pneumatic barrier (though).
Inside, live monsters are rampaging.
“So… Well, I don’t know if it’s okay to point this out, but… What’s with the size of these monsters?”
“I caught them! Isn’t it amazing~?”
“You, who have almost no combat experience…”
It’s surprising to hear that Lize captured these monsters.
She probably used lightning-based magic, but still, I think it’s impressive.
Maybe she has a knack for capturing.
Well, we’ll have to deal with this quickly.
After I finished talking with most people, Uchikage clapped his hands.
“Well, the capture operation is over today. Let’s rest and prepare for tomorrow.”
“As Uchikage says. Tomorrow, we plan to test the magic power release. Once that’s done, we’ll ask the citizens to temporarily leave the Garott Kingdom. It’ll happen soon, so we need to make sure their lives won’t be affected.”
“I can only hope it goes well.”
“I hope so.”
We’re about to fight enemies that no one has ever fought before.
And right now, there’s no sense of progress or anything.
Without that sense, I honestly couldn’t feel like we were really in a battle.
The devils have been doing this repeatedly.
Well, it’s no wonder that devil with orange hair yelled at us for getting in their way.
I finally understand now.
If I have the chance to meet them again, I should apologize.
“Speaking of which, where’s Maria?”
“She’s reporting to the guild.”
“She’s the only one suitable for the task…”
Having someone experienced handle it is the most efficient way.
But no one would have imagined that the guild master of another country would be standing in line at the reception.
It’s kind of funny when you imagine it.
Meanwhile, Maria, who was standing in line at the reception, let out a small sneeze.
