“Naru, go for the legs. I’ll destroy their balance.”

“Same as always, I understand.”

“Kuku …… If we stall just a little stalling, and we win …… Let’s play! !”

The first to attack was the Gospel’s Descent.

The fireball flies to Ryuuze and Naru, and just before it hits them, they split to left and right to avoid it. The fireball that lost its target exploded on the ground.

“Don’t you dare use magic in this town! There!”

“Gunu …… What strong sword pressure!? Let’s shoot all at once! ”

“I’m afraid that’s not going to happen! [Freeze]”

The man in the robes in the lead tries to use fire arrows, but Naru uses her skills while swinging her dagger. In no time at all, the ground and his feet froze and the man lost his balance.

“I-It froze!? …… Guah!?”

“That’s one.”

When Ryuuze stunned the man frozen by Naru hitting his chin with the handle of the greatsword, he suddenly approached the two who were standing behind him. But the Gospel’s Descent didn’t back down, and he pointed both hands at Ryuuze and unleashed his magic. 

“You’re good ……! How about this !”

“!”

“It’s too late to activate it, if it’s Lars, it comes flying the moment he says it! [Magic Sword – Windy]!”

He lowered his stance and swung the sword vertically as if he were slamming it into the ground, and the Earthblade that was about to be activated shattered. Then he activated his magic sword and swung it to the side, causing a gust of wind to blow, easily pushing back the hydro stream. 

“Impossible!?”

“‘Oops, I didn’t know it was this easy to return. Lars is crazy after all! Oraaah!”

“Bufu!?”

“Gebo!?”

The moment the Gospel’s Descent in astonishment, Ryuuze struck them both in the face with the belly of his greatsword and swung it out with all his might. Then the men flew through the air and fell to the ground with a dull thud.

“Yes!”

“What animal strength as always. I’ve got that one tied up with a rope.”

“Thanks to it, I’m able to kill monsters easily, so that’s good, right?”

“Kyaah!? H-Hey, put me down ……”

Ryuuze laughs as he holds her up with one arm and drops Naru, and captures the two fainted men, looking ahead to follow him. And then they heard a voice.

“Ah, it’s Ryuuze!”

“Naru-chan is here too.”

“Ryuuze-kun, these guys can’t be …….”　

The owner of the voice was the members of the Irving family. When Dedite asks Ryuuze with a grim face, Ryuuze replies while looking at Aina on Sarge.

“It’s ‘Ryuuze-niichan’, right? Sheesh, you’re always imitating Lars, aren’t you …… Oh, no, Dedite-san, we’re in trouble! Just now, right in front of my eyes, one of these guys has kidnapped Tilia-chan!”

“Huh!? Tilia-chan was!? Why?”

“I don’t know why. I’m thinking of making these guys talk, but I think it would be faster to go after him and get her back.”

When Naru calmly answers Nora in a hurry, Dedite nods.

“I and Ryuuze-kun will go then. Nora and Naru-chan will take these captured guys and take them to Dad with Aina–“

“Let’s go, Sarge! We have to save Tilia-chan!”

“Ah!? W-Wait, Sarge!”

The moment she says it, Sarge flew away with Aina on board. In the meantime, Ryuuze and Naru started running after Aina. 

“Dedite-san, take care of those guys! If the territory is the target, Dedite-san and Nora are in danger too, so it might be better to stay at the mansion! We’ll take Aina-chan home with us!”

“I’ll leave it to you!”

◆ 　 ◇ 　 ◆

When Dedite raises his voice, Ryuuze smiles, gives a thumbs-up, and accelerates further. Dedite and Nora who was left behind dragged the three captives back to the mansion. 

“I guess the Gospel’s Descent has moved …… I have to go to the guild with dad.”

“You’re right! I want to do something too, but ……”

“Nora, you go and wait with Mom. I don’t want anything to happen to her, after all.”

“Hmmm, I don’t want to be the only one waiting.”

Dedite says with a bitter smile to Nora, whose mouth is agape and while dragging the men.

“I don’t want you to be too reckless, since you’re my wife. I understand that you want to go on adventures like Lars and the others.”

“Yes! But, I’ll put up with it because I’ll be able to see Ash and the others again when the Monsters’ garden is ready.”

“Yeah …… Hmm? That’s–“

As they approached the house, Dedite spotted someone standing at the entrance. The face looks familiar, and as he stands there, protecting Nora, Dedite narrows his eyes and opens his mouth.

“You are …… Nora’s father …… so you came again”

“W-Why are here! I didn’t get better when my mom ran away from you, so you’re not my dad or anything anymore!”

“Ku, kuku …… Nord …… Nora …… you’ve become cheeky …… come here …… hi, hihihihi ……! Hyahahahahaha!”

So you’re coming, Dedite said, putting his hand out in front of him to intercept with water jail. But the scene in front of them made both Dedite and Nora’s eyes widen.

“Nora is my daughter! Give her back!”

“This is …… the Ogre that Lars and the others talked about!? Uwah!?”

“Dedite-kun!?”

“Nora Nord Nora Nord ……”

“Stay away from Nora ……!!”

With blood pouring from his mouth from the beating, Dedite jumped close to her father, who had become an ogre!

I’m running out of time, so today will be short ……
