Chapter 154: 154 Episode 154: The scent of the Zako Festival on the first day.txt

A monster is ejected from a monster spot in the forest at a rate of about one every 20 seconds.

The monsters include the familiar skeletal monster, the skeleton, the goblin, the kobold and the orc.

Goblins are goblins that are less than one meter tall and come at you wielding daggers and hatchets.

They are so-called small fry enemies. Their movement and attacks are generally slow, and they are vulnerable to the slightest stab from their swords, which can kill them. There is no doubt that it is an easy monster. However, they do have weapons, even if they're tattered, and there's a chance they'll give you a terrible blow if you're too lax. It's important to remember that fighting is always a serious business, even against goblins.

Kobolds are slightly larger than goblins and are dog people with a face like a rabid dog (though I've never seen one). They have thinner body lines than goblins, and they are monsters that fearlessly attack with thin swords and spears. These guys are just as weak as the goblins.

Finally, there are the orcs, the pigmen.

Their most distinguishing feature is their large and powerful bodies. Sometimes they throw stones at you, so you have to be careful. This may be the first wall for newcomers to the game. It's not so bad once you get used to it, though.

Now, the characteristic of these guys is that they are all "slow" in their movements.

If it's a game, they would make good targets for magic. It would also be good for practicing your bow. Well, that's probably why they can be small fry monsters.

Currently, I'm hunting monsters on the left and right sides of the central corridor, which is closed off.

I've heard that Hitotsutsuzuki doesn't mean that extremely strong enemies will suddenly appear, or anything like that. They may be a threat to humans who can't fight, but it's not a problem for those who are well prepared.

Shamash is on a business trip to Luklaera. I have to summon the Twilight Mimic to set up several mine sites. I had promised Luclaera that I would be back in an hour, so I dutifully flew there. He would be back in another hour.

I'm not participating in the battle, but I'm watching it from the top of the watchtower.

"We're in good shape for now.

That's about as good as it gets.

For what it's worth, the warriors of this world have been living with the Hitotsutsuzuki.

Unlike Marina, Elepippi, and the new knights, who are new to fighting Hitotsutsuzuki, the ex-mercenary group members are in a completely harmless formation, and they'll be annihilating the monsters in a matter-of-fact manner.

Both Marina and Elepipi seem to be able to afford it for now.

Elepippi's weapon is also a one-handed sword, and although she doesn't seem to be as specialized in attack power as Marina, she's still getting pretty good at fighting. I was worried because I've been asking him to look after the store lately, so I haven't had much combat training, but he should be fine for the first day or so.

From the second day, though, I'm going to have my inexperienced daughter go behind the scenes.

And there's more monsters over there with ......

At the opposite exit of the exit where the knights were waiting, a demon with a great sword was stationed. A huge man, laughing and slaughtering the monsters that were springing up alone.

He was even more of a monster than a monster, Shero-san.

"He was so happy to hear that this Hitotsutsuki was 'Konoishi Meguri', you know. I'm my father, but my head hurts. I'm too old for this.

Rebecca sighed.

Maybe it was complicated from her daughter's point of view. It's not like her father is a combat fanatic.

A father ......?

If I were to marry Rebecca-san, Shero-san would be the father, right? Yeah, well, he sounds like a normal, reliable guy. Muscle is power.

I haven't told Rebecca about the marriage.

I mean, I wasn't going to tell Deanna and Marina either, not yet.

Not because it's flaggy - or anything like that - but because when the Hitotsutsuki is done and things are settled, I'm going to make sure I'm ready for it (like the ring!) And then - I thought - I said it with a lot of energy.

I said it in a spur-of-the-moment way.

It must be God's fault.

I told Deanna and Marina to keep their mouths shut, but Deanna's expression slackened, and every time she said it, she would get mad and then grin again, and she continued her monologue, and Marina got so excited at Marina that she said, "I'll survive no matter what, no matter what! He goes around inspiring his allies, such as.

But marriage ...... marriage, huh?

Maybe there's no chance of getting rejected?　I thought, "What the hell," but I didn't even have the slightest idea how to refuse. Hmmm.

What's the matter, Jirou? I just got a little crabby. Did something good happen?

Oh, no. It's nothing!

I'm afraid it's in your face. I don't like it. I can't say the same for Deanna.

"Oh, Rebecca, there it is again, harpy.

Hey.

A single giant bird-man flew out of the forest.

An Icarus-like monster with wings. A harpy.

But--

"Harpy, confirm. Nice to meet you.

Rebecca gives instructions over her walkie-talkie.

A few moments later, the Harpy tried to attack the human below from the sky and was pierced by five arrows that flew in at high speed and disappeared.

'Nice work,'

On the ground, 10 archers are on standby, and they're ready to counter flying monsters.

The first day should be fine at this rate. We'll be able to keep it to about the same level as the usual Hitotsutsuji. The problem is tomorrow and the next day.

'I hope so. ...... By the way, can I go fight too?　It's about time.

No.

It's no good.

I was preparing to fight as a combatant from the beginning, but I was pushed out of the front line for some reason or another, and before I knew it, I'd been made a watchman.

The current charge of the watchdog yagura (command tower) is me and Rebecca. Shamash (who hasn't come back from Luklaera yet) and Etowah are in charge of the sighting yagura (summoning tower). Hetty is the field commander. A little bit behind them are the priestesses who are deployed as support magic personnel.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. It's a good idea to have a few people on standby so that they can go right away to support you.

I'll go and get some food and drink for you later.

◇◆◆◆◆◆.

I'm not trying to be generous, but it's very scheduled: ......

It's been five hours since Hitotsutsuzuki began.

It's now 2pm, and so far the battle is going without a hitch.

The number of monsters we've defeated must be around 900 now. Most of the monsters have disappeared under a single blow, as if we are too strong. The ballista is also shooting regularly, so there are a lot of monsters that die all together.

Shamash-san has also returned, making it easier to defeat the flying monsters.

'So it's all planned. Yes, it looks like it, but that's because we have the power to do it. The weapons and tactics that Jirou prepared for us are also very effective. We've been fighting in the square like idiots. According to the priest, two spirit stones have already been used in other spots.

Seriously?

Should I have sent a few people to other spots if this was the case?　It's like we have almost a whole group of legendary-grade mercenaries in our house. ......

No, no, no, don't let your guard down.

Besides, in terms of being able to allocate other things, we're already doing it without a guild allotment.

By the way, Priestess-chan is in constant contact with the priests of the other spots via spirit communication.

Depending on the situation, I might really have to send around some support.

The monsters were the Skull Knight, which is apparently a higher version of a skeleton, and the Gargoyle, a small demon made of stone, which was an additional monster.

The Skull Knight is an interesting monster that wears armor, has four arms, and attacks with four swords. It's an interesting or wacky monster: .......

It was supposed to be a strong foe that came into the flesh with its brilliant sword handling and light bodywork that was incomparable to that of a mere skeleton - but it was smashed by Marina's war hammer and dismembered by Norilyn's war axe, and sank almost without a good spot.

As for the gargoyle, it was an enemy that was made of stone but used its wings to fly, but it crashed with a thud after being hit by Shamash-san's magic. After the crash, he was beaten to death by a sack.

When I peeked into the base camp behind me, I saw Deanna eating sweets and drinking tea in her spare time.

The knights are also resting, eating and drinking as they please.

The breaks are in shifts. All the knights are smiling and do not look tired at all.

Of course, the newcomers should be tired in their own way, but they are still in a situation where they can fight with room to spare. Mentally, they will still have plenty of time to spare.

And so it was 4:30 p.m. without a chance to fight at all.

As expected, everyone was looking tired after such a long day. It was understandable. We'd been fighting all day.

However, we were all feeling a bit tired. It's a group of people who are used to fighting, so they may not be that worn out from fighting.

...... It's about time.

Rebecca muttered.

The monster springs are becoming more and more interrupted.

There's a lull, with the last of the skull knights springing up in succession.

''Hmm?　Are you done?　You're a lot of a**h*les, aren't you?

No. At the end of the day, there should be the last monster of the day--

It was then.

In the forest, a single pillar of light rose up from the vicinity of the monster spot.

''Please be careful!　It's a monster unlike anything we've ever seen before!''

Deanna's tense voice comes over the walkie-talkie.

I rustle through the forest and something big comes out.

'Hmmm. I didn't expect that thing to show up on the first day: ......

Rebecca muttered to herself.

What emerged after scrambling through the forest was a huge stone statue with a pure white body.

It seems to be a relatively standard monster in Hitotsutsuzuki, but it is a moving stone statue whose hardness, weight, and size will knock the white warriors-only warriors down to a donzoko of despair.

It is a living statue.

◇◆◆◆◇

However, the opponent is one.

They were making preparations so that there would be no problems even if an opponent like that appeared.

''Well then, Rebecca-san, please take command.

I know.

Rebecca uses a walkie-talkie and gives them each instructions.

The walkie-talkie is sober and useful. According to Hetty-san, it's a bit of a cheat to be able to do the transmissions seamlessly, it's like having an elf for each troop - and that's what I mean.

Shamash-san instructs the golem and opens the central door.

He creates a monster torch. Give it to Etowah and ask her to guide the monsters.

Stand by for the destruction iron ball.

The knights gather at the central front. Only a few ballista groups remain in the west and east to prepare.

The living statue is about 4 meters long and holds a stone stick in its hand.

It looks like a stone statue of a Roman soldier, with a deep moat on its face.

Since it was a stone statue, its entire body was made of stone or something else, and it looked really hard.

He was wearing so-called gladiator sandals and thrusting forward.

His movements were slow, but his weight was unimaginable. If you are crushed, you can die in plenty of time.

The statue comes straight at you with a thud.

3 meters, 2 meters, 1 meter.

Let go!

Under Rebecca's signal, the unleashed ballista's extremely thick arrows fly in and make contact with the statue's torso with a dull sound.

Shards of light scattered violently. The arrow bites into the statue's body and stops.

Only the tip of the ballista's arrow was reinforced with iron, making it sharp and hard. It's effective enough against monsters made of stone.

However, it seems that this wasn't enough to be a fatal wound yet.

Statue silently pulled out the arrow and walked away again as if nothing had happened. If he stayed where he was, he could have used the ballista to fire a second shot, but it couldn't be helped.

The iron ball was next.

As the statue walked and approached the center aisle, Rebecca gave the signal.

The two golems pulling up the iron ball with a rope let go of the rope at Shamash's command.

The iron ball, weighing about a ton, consumes an enormous amount of potential energy and flies to the stone statue.

Statue noticed the iron ball coming towards him at high speed and crossed his arms and took a defensive stance.

However, the next moment--.

Boom!　And the iron ball hit comfortably and slipped straight to the other side.

Afterwards, only the upper half of the stone statue shattered into pieces and the lower half of the statue, which was standing in tears with the upper half, were left in its place.

''Oh, oh, oh!''

Oh, what?　A blow?

The defense was empty, and the living statue disappeared in pieces with a single iron ball strike.

It was an unexpected one-hit kill. The destructive iron ball is well said.

This is what happens when you hit a hard object harder than a hard object ...... but I never thought it would be as effective as this.

I'm not a fan of that. That was a blow. Look at them, they're all puffed up.

From the Objective Yagura, I can see everyone's faces better.

Everyone who had been preparing for the boss fight was either out of sync or surprised, and they were unable to open their mouths to sort out the situation.

Well, it was a big, hard, intimidating boss enemy.

...... Anyway, it was worth all the trouble we went through to prepare it, the iron ball. It's probably a matter of chemistry, though.

That stuff works especially well for living statues: ....... But it's great that it's a blow. You can always see how much it costs you just to take that guy down .......

It's the last monster, after all: ......

Apparently it was very unexpected for Rebecca-san. Strictly speaking, it wasn't exactly a blow because of the amount of ballista hit, but the impact of the iron ball was so strong that it was so strong that it was a blow that knocked her down.

After the statue disappeared, a larger magic crystal was left behind. The magic crystal, about the size of a volleyball, was the proof that it was the Last Monster.

Incidentally, the original plan was to use the ballista and iron ball to weaken it to some extent, then have Shamash-san call Ai-chan, engage it with magic, the bow and Ai-chan, and finally fight it with the knights if they couldn't defeat it.　

I didn't expect that to end at the first stage: ....... I heard that monsters are vulnerable to physical attacks, but it would be too obvious.

''Well, whatever it is, it's good. We still have two more days to go.

Yeah. It's all right. We have to conserve our strength for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

That's the idea. Good night, Jiro.

Good night, Miss Rebecca.

Thus, the first day was successfully completed with almost no injuries.
