So I head to the field as soon as possible. My members are Love Fire, Konoha, Byakuya, Yuuga, and Sabik. And then Mel and the others and Ruin-san and the others. Now there are 17 of us. There are 13 of us left.

Luke, Tyrol, and Rikyu-san brought out two summoned beasts each, and Raiden, the fierce beast user, became three tame monsters.

First, they had to reach King Kong's fort to talk about it, so it was good for scouting at first. The flight and wolf type were chosen.

''I feel safe~''

Yeah... it's going to be okay, right?

Neither of you will feel safe. We can't let you become a burden or anything.

But I'll do my best.

Ruin-san braced herself and Yuko-san said.

''Well, this crew should be fine!　Easy, easy, easy.

Oh, really? Good luck with King Kong, then. I'm allergic to monkeys.

'You were fighting in a normal event!

Youko doesn't understand the horror of that monkey's erotic face.

Apparently, Mel was targeted by King Kong. He was caught by a normal monkey, and it might have been a messy event.

''Well, you'll be fine this time, since you have Knight-sama to rely on.

Because. Kago. Hang in there.

'You're talking to me?　I mean, if you don't do your best, you're not promised!

I've got a disease that would kill me if I fought a monkey.

'The story is old!　I mean, you would have been fighting the monkeys too!

I just had an outbreak.

No way.

I'm telling you this because it's there.

Now, as we go on with all this nonsense, we go through the forest and come out into a grassy field. Across the way, where the forest continues again, the Wolves are all on alert.

''Brother Tact... something's coming.''

Love Fire also warns.

'Everyone prepare for battle!'

I'm coming forward.

Please. Have a safe trip.

Yes. Guys, let's do it.

They all reply and take up a fighting stance.

We also signal to Mel and the others with a glance and then separate from each other. If we get involved badly, we'll break the partnership.

Now, what's coming? Just as I was thinking, I heard a rattling sound.

I have a bad feeling about this...

And a bad feeling comes true. It's a goblin that shows up, but what a ride in a carriage.

And it's not just one car.

Four... no, five coming!

Love Fire will tell you the exact number. That's helpful. But five carriages is a lot... and a goblin in a lot of carriages is probably...

The goblins take out their bows. I knew it was the Archer!

'Not good!　Quick, wall spell, quick!

Luin-san also directs the wall spell. But it's slightly too late.

''Ho!''

Then the bird squad, led by Konoha, attacked Archer at once. Konoha, great!

"Earthwall!

Multiple earthen walls appeared. Now the bows aren't afraid. But the opponent's carriage is also excellent. I shot my attack magic, but I couldn't damage the carriage.

In this situation, I'll just have to crash them.

That's when I thought that. Apparently, everyone seems to have the same thought process.

"Bottomless Swamp!

Everyone must have leveled up in the event. It wouldn't be surprising if you could use Bottomless Swamp. But I thought about this one too, and it's probably a bad idea.

Ruin and the others continue to attack, but a carriage sunk in the mud is tricky. Magic doesn't work, and for fear of falling into the mire, Wolf and the others are unsure of how to act.

If it comes to this, it can't be helped.

''Byakuya, you can get into the carriage, can't you?

Gow!

'Alright, get Sabik to ride in Byakuya. Is Love Fire and Yuu Fang tough?

...Yes?

We both get droopy ears.

'If you can't, fine. They'll be coming in a wagon and we'll just throw them off. The goblins will be dealt with by you.

Yes!
Gow!

That's what I'll tell Mr. Lewin and his men.

'I'll slip the carriage coming towards you. It could be dangerous, so be careful.

Okay!

Everybody!　I'm going after the goblins who crashed!

You're right, though. I feel like a very bad guy.

Byakuya takes Sabik and jumps over to the carriage that has sunk into the mud. Archer and the others go for Byakuya, but it doesn't work against the wind-clad Byakuya.

Then, in a brilliant, giant leap, he bites the goblin in the carriage, and Sabik bites him, too, and when he's poisoned severely, Byakuya throws him into the mire.

'Ah, a chance.'

Take aim at him!

The goblins fall into the mire and Luke and his friends go after them. Byakuya sees them and throws them away one by one. Sabik tightens his grip on the goblin archer and bites it. That one can't get away.

Then Rekka comes in.

'Sorry, can you ask for the boggy carriage?　I'll be the one to crash the carriage.

Yes, sir.

Can't Mel and the others jump over the stones? Kego could do it, but not while avoiding arrows. Apparently, Byakuya and the others are done fighting, so they change positions.

Rekka crashes the carriage with the use of the earth wall she showed us earlier.

The goblin archer that was thrown out saw Ruin-san and the others and Luke's smiling faces.

'Welcome.'

Everyone is battering the goblins with their wands. But the goblin tragedy wasn't over.

A carriage pulls into me. I don't have to do that, unlike Lekka, I don't have to do that.

'Slip!'

The horse and carriage slipped on the ice, and the carriage happened to be headed for the goblins and Mr. Ruin and the others.

''NIGERO!

The players run away, but the goblins, who have been beaten to a pulp, can't move. They are caught in a huge carriage crash.

This is terrible... and the safe goblins are surrounded by Wolves, including Yu Fang. Archer won't be able to save them.

The last car also came after me, so I slide and crash. Mel and the others and Love Fire finished it off, and the battle was over.


The goblins are defeated and we gather.

'Was there any damage?'

I'll be fine. The carriage was a bit of a surprise to me, though.

I'm sorry about that. I didn't see that coming.

'What was that all about?

'There were so many goblins that I couldn't identify them well, but I think it was probably the goblin riders that were written about in the library driving the carriage.

Riders and carriages... that's awful.

You're right, Mr. Fierce Wind.

'Yug, can we use the carriage?'

No!　I couldn't touch it!　Hopefully I'll get it from demolition.

So Mr. Lewin is after the carriage. But you don't get a carriage by dismantling a goblin.

When we dismantle it together, it's all stone.

'You're picking a fight.'

I agree with that opinion. But you can make a magic stone out of a stone.

''How do you want to organize it?　I have a feeling that the Wolf formation will be dangerous if those things come one after another.

That's the thing, but I'm not here to fight.

I say, and he feels eyes on me and turns around. But there's nothing there.

'What's wrong?　Mr. Takut.

There's something out there... it's probably Sifu.

When I say that, everyone is alarmed.

'Sabik, there's something here. Find it.

When I say this, Sabik doesn't hesitate, and as he proceeds, a knife is suddenly thrown at him. Sabik ducks.

'There!'

When Rekka shoots the laser, the hit sheaf appears and runs away into the woods across the street. The grey wolves howl as the Wolves and Konoha and the others try to put a stop to it.

This is bad!

It's a trap!　Put those summonses back!

Huh?

Suddenly, while most of the players were unable to react, Love Fire and the others reacted.

The other summons reacted slightly as Love Fire and the others tried to return. This was a relief.

A rain of bows and arrows rained down on the summoned beasts from the forest.

''Watch out!''

Arrow!　Come back!

The summoned beasts return in unison. But the summons that were slow to react were hit by arrow after arrow and returned to the summoning stone.

Shit! I'm hit! I didn't think he'd do this to me!

Sifu was deliberately discovered and lured the summoners into the attack range of the archers lurking in the forest.

''Huh?　Again!

'No. Love Fire.

'What?　Why?!

Quieting the impatient love fire. I know how you feel. I want to kill Sifu as much as you do, but it's impossible. But it's impossible. Ruin-san speaks.

"If we go to finish him off, that arrow will come raining down on us.

'I don't think you can get close enough to build a wall. The wall won't hold.

It's possible that the sorcerer is there, isn't it?

I'm sure there will be fighters.

We all agree on this opinion and decide to withdraw. But first, I'll ask Love Fire.

'Do you know how many enemies there are?'

I don't know... how is that possible?

After all, if the goblins are there, Wolf and the others should be able to detect them. Ruin-san answers Love Fire's question.

''Probably equipped with an item that interferes with their presence or something.

I don't know...

Love Fire's ears droop. She must be in shock. I pat Love Fire's head.

'I've got information on the enemy. You can be proud of yourself. Let's go home and plan our strategy.

Yes!

We then had to retreat on the return and have a strategy meeting.
