It seems that Arnold's friends don't want to get into trouble with us. No, wait. ...... If he attacked us alone with his friends, does that mean he overrode them and went ahead with the attack? How pissed off are you?

'We're in a hurry--we're leaving now--you're free to use the camp. I think we should take a short break. You'll need to dry your clothes. ......'

Black and the others had already boarded the carriage. I was about to get in as well, when I heard a familiar voice.

'Cry! Wait--I'm finally catching up! Wait, don't go!

I turn around. The voice was coming from Luda. The boy Gilbert is behind her. My eyes widen at the unexpected sight, but I don't stop at the call.
I don't know why she's here or why she's working with Arnold and the others, but there's no rule against working together, and it's not uncommon for a party to temporarily work together with another party.

In fact, when I'm with Arnold and the others, they're like my enemies. I don't want to have anything to do with them.

'Ah, Luda and Gilbert boy. What a coincidence. See you later.'

'Wait! Cry, help! We're here on Mr. Gark's orders to deliver the request form!

'............ Sorry, but I'm busy. We'll see you later.'

I decided to escape reality and leave all the trouble to my future self.
I have no idea what the request form from Mr. Gark is, but it must be something out of the ordinary.
Mr. Gark, the requisition, Arnold. Any one of those things alone would be disgusting. I wish I could help you.

Just as we're getting into the carriage, a demon comes up from the lake. Faster than I expected.
You're soaking wet, but your anger shows no sign of abating. Well, I understand how you feel, but honestly, I think Lise and Arnold are both the same. You should take calcium.

I'm going to kill you. You're not getting away with this!

Arnold grabs us in an instant and runs out. The carriage starts running at the same time, but the other guy has a big sword, armor, and his clothes are even absorbing water, and he's going very fast. There was no way they could escape.

He activates several "shot rings" that he has equipped with his rashness. The colorful bullets (with almost no power) generated in the palm of his hand shoot toward Arnold.
Arnold easily cut off the bullets flying at high speed with his greatsword. He was running with great skill. This is why I really hate hunters.

Arnold roars with a blue streak on his forehead. The horses spooked and the carriage shook.

'Did you think this would be enough to stop us? Don't you dare! Don't you dare!

At that moment, something suddenly appeared from behind a tree and attacked Arnold. It was a surprise attack, and Arnold was flung away.

What jumped out was a moss-colored demon that he had never seen before. It had a long, spindly body with long, creepy arms and legs. Its body was covered in a black mist, and it was hiding its parts with a crude piece of cloth. It may be a subspecies of troll, but at least I've never seen one before.

Perhaps it was not an opponent that could be easily cut down, but Arnold's feet had come to a complete stop. The figure is getting farther and farther away.

...... You're lucky. In the usual pattern, it's usually the unlucky me who gets attacked in such cases. Maybe Arnold's luck is worse than mine. I feel a little sympathy for him.

I can hear Arnold screaming.

'...... Shit! d*mn it! Why are you attacking me? Come on, come on, come on.

I don't understand. That's resentment, of course. It's a crime to force a demon on someone.
I don't know how it is in the Land of Mists, but since you're in Zebrudia, you should follow the rules of Zebrudia.

I opened the back window of the carriage, cleared my throat and shouted loudly.

'Mr. Arnold! You can't force a demon on us! In this country! It's a crime!

'......! You're the one! Don't say that!

What did I do to deserve this? .......
I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I'm going to do it.

It's the Pote Dracos, isn't it? You seem to be obsessed with the other side. ......'

'Hahahahaha! That's crazy! It's what happens when you disobey Krai-chan!

Anyway, there's no sign of pursuit. It seems that the demon has unintentionally stopped me in my tracks.
After taking a breath, I removed the "Evolving Demon Mask" that had been forcibly fixed to my body.

I had planned to stop by the town on the way, but if that thing was chasing me, there was no time to lose.
Let's quickly go to the Night Palace and meet up with Luke and the others.
