"Oh, that was Nell.

　Suddenly, after a thumping sound as if a bomb had exploded, I muttered to myself as I watched pieces of demon meat fall from the sky.

　Hmmm, gross.

　It's a veritable rain of blood.

......

What do you think, dude? That was a combination of me and Nell.

"....... . amazing . But if you do it with the Lord and En, it's even more awesome'

"Haha, yeah, it would be great to do it with me and En. It would be more awesome if me and En did it.

　I laughed at En, who said something like that, as if someone's competitive streak had shifted, and then I proceeded to weave my way through the army of demons that had been stunned by Nell's attack, having disappeared in secrecy.

　This time, I'm a minor player. 　

　You can't stand out, and you don't want to injure Nell by putting too heavy a burden on her, so you need to weaken the enemy stealthily.

　When the enemy is numerous, the most effective way to weaken it is to crush the one giving the orders, or the boss.

Hey, big guy!

　As I entered the depths of the enemy's camp, I said a few words to that thing in front of me, while disarming my covert skills.

"Guruuruuru ...... ......

　She didn't budge when she saw me appear out of the blue, glowering at my appearance.

　Rather, she probably noticed my presence long ago.
　Even before I deactivated my concealment skills, she was looking my way.


　--The leader of the demons was an ogre.


　Wearing only a loincloth, he was twice my size.
　His body was covered in lacerations and one of the horns sprouting from the front of his head was missing from the middle.

　It's a look that suggests it must have been through many battles.

　The weapon is a club as tall as I am.

　It's rugged, as if carved out of wood, but it looks like it would hurt to be hit.
　Just so you know.


　Species : Ogre
　Class: Demon King
　Level: 72


　I've seen on the map and in the air that this guy leads demons.

　Most of the other demons, such as goblins and orcs, seem to be species that are weaker than ogres.
　As I recall, the goblins are the harmful class and the orcs and ogres are the human disaster class, but the ogres are more powerful than the orcs.

　So the strongest species here is an ogre, but it's not strange that the rest of them are following this one who seems to be the highest level of the ogre.

"Geez!

"Gegululu!

　The surrounding demons suddenly appeared at me, and all at once they were furious, but as soon as the master ogre raised his clenched fist to the side of his head, the commotion died down.

　That's typical leadership.
　He's got a firm grip on the reins.

　This is the perfect opportunity to kill me with my allies around me, but they haven't turned my men against me because they see the extent of my abilities and understand that this would be useless.

"Hey, big guy. I don't know what you're here for, or what you're doing here (・・・・・), well, I don't know. Maybe you're here for a good cause, but ...... bad. I think the timing wasn't good.

"............

　I don't know if you understand what I'm saying, but you look down at me silently, the master ogre.

Well, we're both men. And here we are, enemies, facing each other. ...... No more words are needed, right?

　With that, he stretched his en straight ahead and thrust it at the master ogre, while I...

　It's a good idea to close your eyes and be silent for a while, and then - with a smile - open your eyelids.

　She tightens her grip on the club by her side and holds it up.

　It's a good idea to have a special ring around the master ogre and me.

Heehee ...... I've always wanted to do something like this. You know what I mean?　You too.

"Grrrrrr!

　I grinned at the ogre that raised its club with a roar, and with a grin, I pulled En to the side and held it ready.


　　　* * * *


Can I ask you a question?

! Lelew, Mister Leiloh! Why are you here?

"I happen to be in town. More importantly, how is the war going now?　...... Are these transparent walls magical?

　Coming out of the lord's mansion, Leiloh, looking at the 'wall' outside the outer wall, asks one of the awe-inspiring Senghurian commanders, "Did you know...?

Did you know. Yes, that's right. Before the battle began, a girl who appears to be a brave lord put up this wall, and we were unable to even get out: ......

　As I looked beyond the wall, Raylor's field of vision reflected the figure of a brave girl cutting down the attacking demons and laying waste to them.

　It's not just a good idea to have a good time, but it's also a good idea to have a good time.

...... Hmmm, I didn't need to worry about that. I'm sorry, I'm very aware that I'm an outsider, but can I give you a little report?

No, no, no, no, no, no outsider to you.

　After saying this hurriedly, the man in command, still looking awed, continued to speak.

The first group of demons has been completely stopped by her. The second group, as you can see, is no match for her at all. ...... Our men are also as you can see, with zero injuries or casualties.



　Looking over the top of the outer wall, the soldiers on alert are calling out the voice of the brave and, buoyed by the heat, are cheering wildly for the girl below them.

　I'm sure that ...... is the least of their support now that they are divided by her magic.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.

'......?　One question, is she the only one who is fighting?　Wasn't there another young man?

I don't know if it was a young man or not, but there was a squire that I think went down with her, but I certainly don't see him at .......

　At the words of the man in command, Leiloh pauses to think about it.

　--Is it possible that you are fighting for the fame of Lord Nell in the backcountry, unseen by us?

　If you've gone downstairs, it means you've gone to fight, without a doubt.
　If you can't see him in spite of that, it means that he's fighting in a place where you can't see him.

　One possible reason for doing such a thing would be to prevent you from being noticed.

　He keeps a low profile and only leaves the brave girl here to show the people what he does.

　--It's impossible for him to have escaped.

...... Hmm.

　I don't know how far he is thinking ...... but I can only assume from this action that he is trying to use this crisis to recover some of the reputation of the brave man, who is currently in a bad position.

　In fact, the soldiers here have already shown their admiration for the brave man's overwhelming power.
　And it's not hard to imagine that her exploits will be talked about in every tavern, heralded by the bards, and spread in the blink of an eye.

　If that's what he really thinks, then his attempt has been a complete success.

　Indeed, ...... is a great piece of work.

"Mr. Raylor, how would you like us to proceed?

"...... I'm not the commander here, though.

　So he let out a wry smile and then he Rayleau, but in a matter-of-fact tone, continued to speak to the man in command.

Then we should be ready here. Even though she's overwhelmed now, the battlefield is anything but. We'll have to be ready to come in and help right away.

　Then he prefaced the sentence with "and" and a provocative smile tugged at his mouth.

"Wouldn't it be a shame for a warrior to leave the war to a girl alone?　She's strong, sure, but we might as well send a strong unit down there to make the little fry feel safe in our hands. I don't know if we can get any of the wall to come down.

"Huh!　Hahahaha, you're right. Yes, I see. We too, warrior's edge!　Let's show the demons and the heroes that Sengyurian soldiers are more than just bonkers!

　The man in command lets out an energetic, vivacious laugh, bows to Leiloh, and leaves in a snappy motion, perhaps to get his unit in order.

　His tautness, however, makes Raylord feel a little uneasy.

I burned it with ...... momentum, but that was a mistake, wasn't it ......?

　...... Well, rather than just one person showing overwhelming power, fighting shoulder to shoulder together will create more camaraderie and make you a more familiar and brave person.

...... I just hope this one works out for you.

　He muttered to himself as he watched the brave girl fighting outside the outer walls.
