As we discussed, I'll be in the front and Sasha will be in the back!
I know what to do!

Don't fall off your feet?
Who do you think you're speaking to?

　Sasha's reliable reply to my light-hearted comment.

I'm not going to be able to get to the top of the mountain," he said. It's going to be a little rough driving, so don't be shaken off your dreams.

　Sasha at the rear exit and me by the gohja stand out of the back of the truck.
　Chris did some serious driving.
　Each of us took our positions as arranged in advance.

　The reason I left the rear of the truck to Sasha, who stands in the enemy's line of fire, is because my Japanese bow, which is what is called a large bow, is not suitable for handling the narrow rear entrance.
　I went with this one because of the atmosphere, but you need to think about its use a little bit.......

　That's about it.
　I activate the cheats I need for the battle in order.

''Activate the balanced S-class cheat 'Shanghai (Shanhai) Miscellaneous Cheats'!
　You don't have to worry about getting shaken off first.

Activate the Class A Sensory System A Cheat 'Cat's Eye'!
　Thanks to a cheat that allows you to see into the darkness, fighting in the dark is no longer a hardship.

"Activate the combat-type S-class cheat 'Nasu Yoichi'--!
　And finally, he activated his big mission, the strongest bow-based cheat.

　With this, I'm all set.
　At the same time that I was preparing for this, and around the same time--

There's the--

　A myriad of white and silver flickered in the forest to the left rear of the wagon, and then a few of them began to try to approach the wagon--!

Big...!　This is the Supreme Wolf........!
　These wolves are about four meters long, with beautiful white and silver fur.
　In spite of their size, which would make the bears look cute, they quickly closed the distance between them with their agile mobility.

　A moment before one of the silver wolves was about to jump on the back of the truck...

I won't let you!
　Sasha's single arrow successfully shot through the attacking silver wolf.

　Caun!
　--It's not just a matter of time before you get your hands on it, it's also a matter of time before you get your hands on it.

This is the Supreme Wolf's Mirage Fang, where a large number of alter egos replicate themselves, creating a huge pseudo-troop with just one person, this is the Supreme Wolf's Mirage Fang!

　Supreme Wolf" is a "Phantasmagoria" that once fought alongside humans, and its abilities are rather well known.
　And it's also known that its alter ego is actually not that great--" "At best, it's B-grade?

At best, they are B-grade or at best A-grade. And after receiving a certain amount of damage, the body disappears like it does now.

　According to the analysis by the perceptive S-class cheat Dragon's Eye, this ability is a
I'm not much of a threat, frankly. But...

　There are so many of them!
''This kind of power to create such a huge battle group, this kind of violence in numbers........''

　When the convoy ahead of us finally came to a halt, the overwhelming amount of material pushed us all at once like an avalanche, destroying our wagons and cargo without any way to do so.

This is not the time for carefree opinions. I have to do what I have to do too........!
　I was standing on the Gosha-dai with my back to analyze the war situation, and when I grabbed the two arrows at the same time, I unleashed them all at once--!

　Cann, cann, Kwan, cann--!
　Multiple screams echoed through the streets at night.

　Two arrows shot through the eyebrows of two bodies without missing a beat.
　It shot through and skewered two more separate bodies.

　That's not all.
　The two arrows x 2 bodies shot through, and they rolled backwards, losing their balance as they rolled further into each of the nearby bodies and disappeared.

'To defeat a total of six enemies with just one pull...!　Master Seya, you are so good!
　A loud exclamation comes from Sasha in the back of the cargo bay.

'There's a lot of them. I'm going to be efficient, okay?　Okay, next--!
　The two arrows released again, just like the recreated image from earlier, buried the six silver wolves in an instant into the darkness of the night.

''This is something I can't lose.......haha!
　Along with the spirit, Sasha showed an elaborate rapid fire.

　Although she wasn't as flashy as I was, she was able to accurately judge the high-risk enemies and shoot them steadily and steadily.

　Because of Sasha and I's efforts and Chris's skillful driving techniques, the Supreme Wolfs were not allowed to even get close to the wagons--!

　Then, after shrugging off the attack for a while, 《Supreme Wolf》 refrained from attacking and began to accompany him as he watched from a distance.

''What, have you given up?''
　...no, no.
　If he'd given up, he wouldn't be following us, he'd be leaving sooner rather than later.

　This is probably--

You're waiting...!
　They know we're going to have to stop at the end of the road, so they're saving their forces instead of taking it easy...!

　It is probably an intention to check them.
　The Supreme Wolf's "Mirage Fang" and the other "Mirage Fang" repeatedly come close to each other and then quickly leave, as if they were remembering.
　The wagons are approaching the most difficult part of the road.

''Manashilo-sama, we will soon be approaching the last difficult part, the five-stranded hairpin. Our original plan was to reduce the number of "Mirage Fang" to a certain extent before we pass through here, but...
　Chris-san glanced backwards, keeping close behind and checking out the group of white and silver who were chasing him.

''It appears that the other side was one better than us.
Don't you dare...

No, there is no need to apologize. In defensive battles, the attacker usually controls the situation. The fact that you are not afraid to approach us shows that you have real strength.

　Oh, that's so nice of you, Chris...!
　That's the kind of sissy maid we all want to be!
　In the not-too-distant future, I'm going to need a gentle nudge to help me take the steps of adulthood.

Well, I still wish you could have done something about it, though.
Oh, yes.....I know....

'And what will you do?　It's not a good idea to stop halfway through a fight and get on the defensive to do what the other side wants, but to dare to strike out and give them a surprise blow to advance the war situation. I'm not as good as Manashiro-sama, who defeated the dragon, but I've learned the etiquette of fighting in my own way, so I should be able to do something about it.

　No matter what you make him do, Chris, who is so versatile, can probably fight more than he actually is.
　But fighting against that number of people, with only three of them, while defending the wagon, is still a pretty tough thing to do.

　If that's the case, there's no choice but to escape without stopping at all costs--!

That's all I'm asking. Just to make sure, as long as we get past this point, we're good to go, right?

'Yes, once you cross this five-linked hairpin, you'll pass through the forest and emerge onto the plains. Immediately there is a small village, and beyond that is one of the satellite cities defending the imperial capital, and the surrounding area is constantly on alert by the knights. So as long as we can get past here, they shouldn't be able to pursue us beyond that point.

Well....hmm.
What do you have in mind?

'Well you know what I'm going to say to you all of a sudden?　Would you mind leaving the reins with me for a moment?
