CH 200
–The day of the subjugation of the Treants.
Makina and I arrived at the back of the guild where Kelbrem had told us to go as planned. The time was 5:50 in the morning. A total of about 30 adventurers were already talking amongst themselves in the dim light.
“……”
“……”
Of course, Conrad is among them. But since we had already talked to Conrad and the others over the past two days, we decided to stay together as if we were meeting for the first time. We were surprised to be going with them, though.
“…… It’s six o’clock.”
As Makina took her watch out of her pocket and muttered, Kelbrem and a few more adventurers appeared from the guild’s back door.
“We’re all here, aren’t we? As I told you, I was asked by the Lord to take down the Treants. However, since they are already scattered all over the vast land, it will be difficult to exterminate them completely. However, after some research, I found out where the Treants may have originated.”
…… Your timing is good. Either he’s known about it for a long time and has been hiding it, or he’s the one who caused it. At any rate, as I waited for the rest of the conversation, Conrad raised his hand and posed a question.
“‘May I? Kelbrem, I’ve heard that you’re not coming. If that’s the case, do any of the mentees we’re going to know the location?”
At Conrad’s words, the gathered adventurers looked at each other and tilted their heads. Apparently, they hadn’t been told. So the man who stood next to Kelbrem began to introduce himself.
“I don’t want to think about it, but I have to stay in the guild because I have to consider the worst-case scenario. So I’ve selected a friend of mine to be your guide.”
“……”
“That man’s face is ……”
Makina gulped and choked. His face is covered with bandages, so you can’t see his expression, and his eyes are peeking through the gaps.
“…….”
“……?”
Did he just look at me?
“–So, this Croix is in the lead. His face is covered with bandages because of the demon’s poison. Let me show you something.”
The man called Croix nodded and put his hand on the bandage and peeled off his cheek. We all gasped when we saw the reddish-purple skin there.
“…… It’s a terrible wound …… H-Hey, you can stop now.”
“……”
He rewrapped the bandage and stood quietly again. And then, for the last time, Kelbrem says to us in a loud voice.
“The rear guard is Fox the Thief. If there’s a threat of annihilation, you’ll have to run back to report it! Tighten up to make sure that doesn’t happen!”
“Yeah!”
“I’ll do it!”
They encouraged each other and got fired up.
We were told that the source of the outbreak was located in a forest about an hour’s carriage ride from here, further inland. We boarded three carriages, each with ten people, and set off as the sun was just beginning to rise.
“Fuh~, we’re finally going.”
“The man with the bandages looked terrible …… Can’t we use Marianne’s medicine or Lars’ healing to fix him?”
“Well, I’ll ask him afterwards.”
As I was discussing this with Makina, the adventurer who was on board with us opened his mouth.
“What, you guys a couple and also adventurers? From your gear, you look like a couple of newbies ……”
“I can’t babysit a kid, okay? You can protect yourself, can’t you?”
“Well, compared to you guys, we’re pretty new at this. Don’t worry, we’ve been working out. Please let us learn how the Seniors fight.”
“Thank you very much in advance.”
When we said this with a smile, the first man who opened his mouth blinked his eyes, cleared his throat, and said with a grin.
“Senior, huh, t-that sounds pretty good. Okay, my name’s Cave.”
“My name is Lars.”
“I’m Makina!”
“Oh, when this is over…”
“Lars and Makina, I’m Sifol. Let’s have a nice drink and a good time, okay?”
“That’s what I was going to say!?”
A woman in a red dress named Sifol winked at us and said something like that, Cave shrugged and yelled, and laughter echoed through the carriage.
“You guys look like a handsome man and beautiful woman. It would be foolish to die here, so don’t push it, okay?”
“Oh, you’re saying my line again!?”
Are these two in a party? Sifol-san chuckled and chided Cave.
“You all get along so well. I’m relieved.”
Makina smiled, and I nodded. Conrad’s order for trusted adventurers seems to have been fulfilled.
The bustling carriage soon arrived at the entrance to the forest. As soon as we got out of the carriage, the bandaged man named Croix took the lead and we followed him.
“…… What a dark forest …… it’s very different from the town of Gust ……”
“This is just the entrance to the forest. The further in you go, the more–“
When Makina opened her mouth, looking up at the sky beside me, Cave answered with his hand on the hilt of his sword, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.
At that moment–
“Grrrrr!”
“Shaaaa!”
“Whoa! Goblin and Treant! Get back, you guys!”
Two Goblins and one Treant leaped out from the side of the line! I’ve never seen goblins before, but these Treants are huge ……! They were about three meters tall.
I immediately picked up my weapon and went into battle. There are three of them, and we have an army of thirty adventurers, so you’d think we’d be able to stop them in no time.
“Lars, from behind!”
“Oops, I’ll have to avoid this.”
When I turned around, I heard the voice of Fox, the Thief who was serving as the rear guard with Makina, and saw four more goblins and two Treants approaching.
“Damn, a pincer attack, huh? Lars, Makina, come here–“
“No, we can handle this much!”
“Let’s go, Makina!”
“H-Hey!?”
Makina and I move forward, not back. I was surprised by the size of the Treants, but I’m in my element when it comes to wooden monsters.
“!”
“That’s large!?”
Fwooosh! And then, with both hands, I create a fireball the size of a soccer ball and shoots it to the two Treants.
“Kishaaaa!?”
“Gyaaaah ……”
The direct hit causes a huge explosion, and a roar echoes through the forest. I don’t know if you can call it a torso …… but one of them had a huge hole in its body, and the other one was blown up in the aftermath of the explosion.
“Treants was taken care of, now the goblins.”
“L-Lars’ magic is amazing ……”
I overhear Cave muttering to himself, but I head straight for Makina. Although she is surrounded by goblins, Makina lowers her stance and uses her skills.
“[Kaiser Knuckle]! Hah!”
“Gebu ……!?”
“Goaaaaa ……!?”
“Two in the blink of an eye ……!? What the hell are those two!? Aren’t they newcomers?”
“No, I’ve heard that they only gathered people they can trust here. They’re new, but they’ve been chosen by the guild master.”
“Oh, Conrad ……”
Conrad tells Cave. I’m grateful that he gave me a good reason, and I drew my sword and approached the goblin.
“Ha! Dragonfang!”
“……!? Gugya!?”
As I cleave the goblin’s body and neck, it collapses to its knees, spewing out a large amount of blood. Next to me, Makina was also putting an end to it.
“Fuh! Hah!”
“Gebo!? Bufuh!?”
A brilliant one-two to the face.
“It’s over!”
“Gubu ……”
Finally, he bends down and jumps up, sending his fist into the goblin’s jaw with an uppercut. Just as I thought I heard a crack sound, the goblin’s head turned in a strange direction and it died. I think we’ve defeated the monsters that attacked us from behind.
“Fuh, It’s been a while since I’ve moved my body.”
“That was a good punch. Your movements to avoid the goblin’s sword were minimal too.”
“And Lars’ fireball too. Isn’t it’s power strange ……?”
After confirming that there are no monsters around, we were talking about it while high-fiving each other, when Cave and Sifol said to us in unison
” “Both of you are strange!” “
Well, I’m not planning to hold back, so their perception is correct. I’ve trained with Tigre-sensei and Makina. We’re not going to let some goblins slow us down.
“It looks like it’s all over. Let’s get a move on.”
“……”
When Conrad said that, Croixal nodded and continued on. Let’s see what’s waiting for us ……
Finally, two hundred chapters! And we’ll start with a light jab! (LOL)
Thank you for reading!
[Afterword Theater]
“Fyuu~, Makina is doing great!”
(T/N: Whistling.)
You don’t know that Makina that much, do you ……
“Fyuu-fyuu~……”
It’s not blowing.
Makina and I arrived at the back of the guild where Kelbrem had told us to go as planned. The time was 5:50 in the morning. A total of about 30 adventurers were already talking amongst themselves in the dim light.
