After seeing two women caught in an oak village and a party of three who rescued them leave, Ray stores the body of Oak General, whom he has knocked down, and the body of Oak, whose head has been blown off by Seto, in a mistling.There were two corpses of oaks lying about him that had been knocked down by the three men, but he had no intention of touching them by other adventurers, so he left them alone.and determined that his game should be kept by himself, and that it would be all right if the three of them would soon be back here again.

"Glu".

　While watching the flames rising in various parts of the village, Seto sings cautiously in his throat.
　Ray pats his back lightly and turns his gaze into the dark for a moment before casually shaking his death size.

"Boom!"

　Oak Archer, who had shot an arrow out of the darkness and had been slashed carelessly, exclaimed in confusion... in the next moment, Ray, who was approaching him, shook down his death-size handle, crushed his skull, and died.

"Are you separated from the other oaks?"

　Ray puts Oak Archer's corpse in the mistling, wondering.
　The place where Ray and Sett are now located is on the north side of the settlement, and there is only one building that looks like an oak watchhouse, other than the hut in which the human woman caught them for breeding was confined.The watchhouse was quiet, too, as if the axe of the god of thunder had been sent out to cheer for the disturbance that was taking place on the east side.though Ray, who had judged that they would not come to the hut where the women were confined, even though their settlement was under attack at night, to embrace them.

"Did you underestimate Oak's s*xuality?"

　Or perhaps he was the Oak Archer who was allowed to act individually.I privately believe that, apart from the usual oak, the oak archer is a superior species of oak, so it is possible.

(In any case, I got Archer and General's magical stones, the superior species of oak.but, given the size of Set and Death, I wish I could get another of the Mystery of General... the Mystery of Oakmage, which is one of the most distinguished of the best, and the Mystery of the one who leads these Oaks."

　Whisper inside, watch out for metal clashing, angry, abusive, or explosive sounds of swords coming into contact with each other from around the village.Fortunately, only one of the archers was separated and acting alone, or there was no oak heading to the north where Ray was, perhaps, the main battlefield.
　About 10 minutes later, the trio will finally come back.

"Sorry, did you do it again?"

　When asked by a sword-wielding opponent, the party leader, he shook his head.

"No, it was earlier than I expected.What are the women who have been caught?"
"I left it where Bobbs was.In times like this, if there were any female adventurers, they would be able to feel at ease. . . . . I'm irritated."

　Even though Bobbs himself has already retired as an adventurer, he still boasts a certain amount of skill.Therefore, Bobbs remained unguarded in what could be said to be a command post in the night attack.At first, it was planned to have several adventurers as bodyguards, but Bobbs himself insisted that the number of oaks in the settlement was much higher than expected, and this was accepted.

"I'll leave it to you to invade from the north.I and Seto will return to the skies and concentrate on the shortstop."
"Oh, I'm saved,"

　He straddled Seto's back listening to his voice of gratitude... and suddenly turned to the leader.

"I forgot to tell you that there are the bodies of two oaks you've fallen.You don't mind my taking back the General I knocked down and the Oak Sett knocked down?"

　His words twinkled at the bodies of the two oaks, and he nodded small.

"Yes, there is no problem.Is the body of the oak in that item box?"
"That's it.Then I'll leave it to you.Set!"
"Ringling!"

　She sings loudly at Ray's voice, flaps her wings in a few steps, and goes up into the sky.One of them and the three adventurers who saw them off, leaving the body of the oak lying on the ground intact, make their way to the center of the village where the oak would have gathered more for the next prey.





"Is the war going fifty-fifty?"

　Riding on a set, he turns his eyes to the ground as he runs through the night sky.where a great part of the settlement was enveloped in flames, and yet many more oaks were seen heading east.
　It was the first place where the battle began, and the attention of the Oaks must have been concentrated there.
　In front of Ray's eyes, Elk wields a huge battleax and cuts off several oaks.At the same time, a large number of ice arrows were fired from Min's cane, and damage was gradually accumulated against many oaks due to the face-shooting attack.
　Rodos is the one who protects Min.A few oaks attack Minn in an attempt to destroy his opponent, who has a long-range attack as a wizard, but Rodos blocks him and plays Oak's attack with his sword, talks, and avoids it.Then, taking advantage of the opportunity to swing the attack, he shows off his quick swordplay and sinks the oak into a pool of blood.

"I see. Is there only a C-rated adventurer?"

　muttered Ray admiringly as he watched it.But his gaze was immediately turned to a place a little further from the village.and some oaks were going round behind the axe of the god of thunder, taking a detour from the settlement.
　and, conveniently, it was an oak with a cane who led them.

"We have finally found Oakmage,"He's a Mage, and he's smarter than the other oaks."

　Even though it is the axe of the thunder god of the A rank party, from behind when fighting the oaks right in front of you... and it is clear that a magical surprise attack would do a lot of damage.Min is already the wizard at the end, so it is easy to imagine his poor defenses.

"Set!"
"Grunt!"

　She sings briefly to Ray's voice and makes three sharp falls as she has done.
　However, it is fair to say that he is a superior breed of Oakmage.Noticing Seto's fluttering sound, which even Oak General and Oak Archer did not notice, he begins to cast a spell with his cane upward.

"Don't worry, just stick it!"
"Grunt!"

　But Ray orders Seto to charge regardless of Oakmage's actions.Seto also shrieks sharply and ploughs into a detached force led by Oakmage.

"'Boomor!'

　Oakmage recites the spell in a magical voice and invokes the spell.Ray did not know what effect it would have because it was a spell in Oak, but the next moment he saw a fireball the size of his head appear in front of Oak and smiled at his mouth.

"Gul-gulping.

　Seto runs in screaming.The Oaks were almost panicked by the appearance, but when Oakmage screams sharply, the confusion gradually subsides and a fireball is fired at Seto.
　The fireball went to Sett, who was rushing into the detachment at a considerable rate... the moment he was about to hit his body, something blocked him and set off an explosion in the air.

"Boom!"

　Oakmage was surprised at the result.The wind-operated bracelet of the magic item fitted to Seto's ankle has the effect of preventing flying tools such as bow and magic only once.That effect was demonstrated.For Oakmage, it could be said that it was a bolt from the blue.
　And Oakmage, who was convinced that his magic would work, had no way of avoiding hitting the body at Sett's speed...

"Boomoomoom!"

　Oakmage, whose body is more than 2 meters long, is blown away by the speed of falling and the thrust of the wings of Seto, and rolls further away by the reaction, even though it hits the ground several times, just like a stone in a river.Most of his neck and limbs were bent in all directions, and it was obvious that he had not already breathed.
　And...

'Fire, dance, dance.Light up your surroundings with your splendid dance, and fascinate the wandering with your beautiful dance.'

　As he chants a spell, about 50 human-sized flames appear.It is smaller than the previous use in the Magic Forest, because there are fewer enemies.

"Dancing Flame"

　The moment the spell is completed and the magic is invoked.The Fifty Flames move about as if they were their will, and flock to the Oaks.Confused by the circumstances he had never seen before, when he saw several oaks burned to death, he judged them dangerous to be there and ran away in all directions.However, the flame that appears under Ray's spell follows the escaped oak and burns itself with a scorching embrace, while at the same time burning his life.

"Boom-boom!?
"Boomomo!"

　Each screamed, but could not escape from a human-shaped, scorching embrace, and seconds later all the lives of the oaks that were present were lost.
　The surrounding area was filled with the smell of grilling meat, and Seto glanced at it.
　It's been about an hour since the night attack started. I guess I'm getting a little hungry.

"Seto, I don't have time to eat now.I'll keep you until the night is over."
"Guru..."

　Seto nods softly even though she looks slightly sad.

"For the time being these oaks will be stored in the mistling.I'll feed you after this battle, so hold on for a while..."

　What he heard was the footsteps approaching footsteps.They seem to be alone in numbers, but they are running toward us.

"...is the detached force of this detached force...or the remnants?"

　For a moment, Oak Archer, who was fighting alone in the north of the village, thought of the possibility of passing through his mind or being a remnant, and decided to die.
　but the shadow that emerged in the light of the flames burning the hamlet was not of oak, but of man.
　Although he was a little wary of the situation, he released his death-size stance.At the same time, Seto, who was watching it, relieves his tension.
　But the reason why he was not completely alarmed was probably because of the dark star incident.
　and when the face of the figure approaches a distinguishable distance... it is known who it is.

"Rodos?"
"Are you Ray...?"
"Oh, I mean, I'm the only one with the Gryphon,"
"... Oh, no, certainly, but... did you do these oaks?"

　Rodos looked at the half-burned or half-baked oaks lying about him and asked.
　Seeing the situation, Ray takes time to store the bodies of Oaks one after another in Mistilling.
　and approached Oakmage, whom Sett had killed.

"Yes, this Oakmage was done by Sett,"

　and put Oakmage in the mistling.

"...you have enough arms to clear away all these oaks by yourself...no, wait. Why was the body burning? Your weapon a scythe of that ridiculous size?"
"Foolish is another great expression Alice said.

　With a wry smile, he picked up the death size he had left on the ground.

"This is certainly my weapon.But it's a magic item... and it's also a magic engine.""Magical power, engine? I mean..."
"Yeah, you're used to seeing Min's cane, aren't you? It's just like that.but it is a scythe in shape."
"Are you a wizard, then?"

　He shook his head slightly while stroking Seto's back.

"I'm more of a magician, for I'll fight close to you. So why are you here?"
"Wizard... Oh, no. I was fighting with my father and mother on the east side of the village, and suddenly I saw a lot of flames behind me.My mother told me to wait and see."
"Well, it is no wonder that a wizard with a low defense might be attacked from behind.The Oaks were actually going to go around behind them."
"... I see. So you found it above and made a surprise attack on them."
「……」

　When Ray hears Rodos' words, he gazes into his face with a thought.

"What?"
"No, I was impressed that you could make a reasonable decision."
"If you fight, I'll buy it."
"You say those lines after reflecting on what you have done to me....set.'
"Glu".

　Lay straddling the back of the short-sounding set.

"Oops!"
"Let's talk about it later. Shouldn't you go back to Elk and Min? The battle against Oak will continue."
"I know.Look, I'll tell you exactly when this battle is over! Remember! Don't die without permission!"

　With a wry smile on Rodos's face behind him, Ray rode his set back to the top of the village.
　On the way, however, he noticed the gaze he was looking at.

(I see, these are the stars of the night.I was wondering when they would start, but here I am.I don't want you to come out when you're fighting another oak, so I'll put it away here.)

　From above, he looked around the oak settlement, and noticed a block of oak and other adventurers, which was not yet on fire.
