"I was supposed to be a brave ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The first thing that came to mind when the man in armor said that was the image of Senpai and Kazuki.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I immediately reject that idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Their inhuman physique, body, and magic clearly do not belong to the humans of the original world. In fact, the hardness of his skin and his strength are not something that can be acquired overnight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, I would be surprised if such a superhuman was from the same world as mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"By brave, do you mean that he was supposed to be chosen in this country?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Yes, that's right."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brave in this world means two things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Those with the qualities of a hero summoned from another world, like Senpai and Kazuki.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And a person who is given the title of "hero" by the state and becomes a hero.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this case, the man with the long hair --- Mr. Karon --- is the latter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Even so, that power of his ...... Mr. Karon is beyond the scope of man ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sure they don't want to be told only by you. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You're noisy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the question is, what do we do now?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'd like to pull out of this, but ...... won't let me. ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I take a half step forward and look at Mr. Caron, who is carrying an axe and staring at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if I turn my back to him now, the icicle from earlier will fly at me. On the other hand, if I stay here, he will attack me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the meantime, Mr. Karon puts his hands on the icy ground like an animal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Come on, ......!"

"You say 'Usato'!　Put me down!　I don't want to get in your way!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The guy in the armor, I think it's Leo ......?　His voice is a little high and husky, but his name is male.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His injuries were completely healed, so I put him down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know you very well. I'm also curious about the conversation you're having with the strange creature on your shoulder, but I'm ...... sure you're not a bad guy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What do you mean, 'curious'?　I'm an owl!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, you're a vampire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look at the man in armor who has moved a little behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll tell you what happened with him and Mearaak later. First, I need your help to get out of this situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still in his cracked armor, Leo turns his palm toward Mr. Karon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With no weapons, is he going to fight with magic?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... who was fighting him alone just now, I'm counting on you to fight with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Thank you. I'm honestly very grateful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"!!!?　I'm ...... being depended on...... and I'm ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For a moment, I felt a sense of disappointment and a strange sense of motivation coming from him behind me, but when I saw Mr. Karon putting strength into his legs, I changed my mind and jumped forward as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My first move is much faster than his!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I shoot a healing bullet under Mr. Karon's foot and close the distance by stepping forward as hard as I can. Mr. Karon, perhaps trying to intercept me as I come toward him, tries to leap at me, but then my healing bullet hits his right leg, which he is not paying attention to, and he is thrown off his stance.

"I'm used to dealing with hard opponents!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Basically, hard guys don't defend themselves!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've already learned that in the fight against the evil dragon!

　He plays with speed and keeps on killing the attackers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He continuously strikes with his healing restraining fists, blocking their movement..,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, he senses a tremendous cold air from Mr. Karon's axe and retracts his outstretched arm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next moment, an axe swung with force passed by the place where his arm had been.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh my God, he's taking it with him!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't feel the weight of the axe---I evade the onslaught of Mr. Karon, who wields it as if he were swinging a wooden stick.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I am hit, I will be seriously injured or even killed instantly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In addition to the slash, there is another problem, the cold. I can manage with healing magic for now, but if I continue to be exposed to the cold air, I won't be able to move properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Every time the axe is swung, a strong cold air is emitted, taking away my body heat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Nea ...... resistant spell. ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"To the cold!　Or is it a slash...?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An axe snatches in front of my face. I turned my head quickly, so it didn't hit me, but ...... that was chilling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Probably, Nair, who was at the same height as my face, was hit by the axe as well. She looked pale regardless of the cold.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Slash, slash!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, ...... it's a slash!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The slash is no longer effective on me now that the resistance spell has been activated, but to be honest, I don't want to take the axe myself, so I'll just take advantage of the opportunity and attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As he clenches his fist and tries to check his opponent, an ice flake comes out from behind him and hits Mr. Karon's hand holding the axe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice shards, despite their appearance, spread wide and sewn Mr. Karon's hand and the ground with ice.

"......?

Usato, now!

　Looking behind him, Leo's hand is raised in the air.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Did he just aim at the handle of the swinging axe and shoot accurately?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He compresses his hands with ice magic and sends out two ice magic bullets in quick succession, hitting Mr. Karon's legs, further restraining him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you!　Nair!　We'll be solidified by the numbers!

"Oh, how many times have I had to go along with your recklessness!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A fist covered with a binding spell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Each blow has only a little binding power, but if you hit them in succession, the binding power will be great!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I step forward and swing my fist at Mr. Karon, who is about to make a move while shattering the ice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"OHHH!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hit him eighteen times with my fists in a single attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't go any further because of the danger of breaking Mr. Karon's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the binding spell seemed to have worked even with just that, and the layers of binding spells had been activated in Mr. Karon's limbs when he was hit by me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hu---......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, uh, do you feel like you should admire this guy for being able to eat this monster's fist and keep his figure?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nair's puzzled words make me worry that I've gone a little overboard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The feeling in my fist is still the same as if I had punched the scales of an evil dragon---although the damage itself doesn't seem to have done much damage. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let's get into Mia Lark. If left unchecked, this man will soon go berserk, and frankly, we can only restrain him now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Unusually, you are looking at the situation calmly. You're not all about the rush. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rush is superfluous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wary of Mr. Kallon's immobility, I back up and urge the man in armor to enter Mearaq.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But..,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......ooo......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The roar was so strong that it shook the air.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I sense something unusual in his voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that, something like horns grow out of the man's head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What ......?　Horns?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A tail is growing out of his head too!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Two white horns grow from the side of his head and a blue dragon-like tail grows from his waist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As if in response to his own transformation, Mr. Karon cries out, his eyes bloodshot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is a dragon!　How did a human become a dragon?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh no, it's too soon ......!　There's still time!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What do you mean?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I ask Mr. Leo, but he doesn't answer me, probably because he is upset by the sudden situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the meantime, Mr. Karon, who has finished his transformation, raises his axe with a stronger cold air than before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rush of the tremendous magic power is so strong that he can feel it on his skin, and he quickly shoves Nair on his shoulder into the bosom of his troupe uniform. I heard a "Pugyafu" sound as he did so, but now was not the time to be worrying about her, so I stood in front of the shaken Leo-san and protected his face and abdomen with both arms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next moment, a blast of wind and cold air, which could have been mistaken for a snowstorm, blew us away from the axe that had been swung down.

"Gghhhhhhhh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hyaaa~~~!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was blown away and, fortunately or unfortunately, was knocked backwards onto the icy ground near the gates of Mearaq's castle.

　Nea is safe because she has a little scream in her inside pocket, ...... mine not so much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"d*mn, what the hell is he ......!　It's not normal for him to blow off the cold air alone. ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My body is too cold to move properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think I'm frozen, but I'm so cold that my arms and legs don't work properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Leo is ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was blown away with me, and he is lying on his face a little behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I want to get him out of there right away, but first I have to heal my body..,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, they're still coming after me!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My cheeks twitch as Mr. Karon raises his axe and falls toward me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be fatal if I were to be attacked in this situation... but no amount of healing magic can keep me out of the cold.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if I ask Nair to build up her resistance to cold, she won't make it in time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we don't do something, certain death awaits us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can't die here. ......!!!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He forces himself to use healing magic on his cold leg, and tries to stand up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If this cold is enough to completely disable me, I would have died a long time ago. ......!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought, and scolded my shivering body as I stood up. When I looked up, Mr. Karon had already started to swing his axe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm ready to ...... take him on!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I clench my fist, which is filled with the spell of resistance, as hard as I can and swing it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

---Boom!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"---!!!?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... to?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But before my fist and Mr. Karon's fist could make contact, something blocked the axe that Mr. Karon swung down, and it was bounced away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mr. Karon landed on the ground and continued to swing his axes, but all of them were blocked by something like a transparent wall, and no attack could get through.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is this a boundary?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Looking closely, I saw that there was a translucent light-blue boundary between me and Mr. Karon, and that it was not only in front of me, but also covering Mearaak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even the wards that had trapped Eva in Samaria were not as big as this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Who in the world .......

"Usato-dono!

Mr. Aruk!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aruk-san comes down from the wall near the gate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Did he leave Amako and Bulrin in ...... Mialak?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you all right?　I'll warm you with my fire now!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I'm fine. No, I'm fine. I'm more concerned about the guy who's passed out in there. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mr. Karon can't touch us anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The wards are more solid than they look, and his power is unimpressive. The problem is Leo, who got blown up along with me. Still paralyzed from the cold, but able to move a lot, I pick up the unconscious Leo and cast a healing spell on him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I am pouring magic power into him, frowning at the coldness of his armor, Alc moves next to me and creates a flame in his palm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mr. Aruk ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It is your bad habit to be patient, Usato-dono. Please rely on me a little more."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The heat from the flames warms my cold body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look at Mr. Arc and smile, and move to the gate of Mialark, where I think Mr. Arc came from.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the middle of this movement, a black owl flies out of my uniform, gasping for breath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Pfft, Usato!　You're choking me to death!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot."

"Not bad, huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was just trying to help you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you had been hit by that blizzard, you might have been blown far away from here instead of frozen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What is going on in Mearaq, anyway?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The man with horns and a tail, Mr. Karon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mr. Leo in full body armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the strange quietness of Mialak, where not a single person is seen in the midst of such a disaster.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... either way."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look at Mr. Karon, who is outside the boundary behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There I see him glaring at me with a single-minded focus and snarling like an animal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To tell the truth, I was the one who would have lost if I had continued. I was saved by chance by the warding, but I don't even want to imagine what would have happened if that hadn't been the case.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm not good at fighting after all. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't want to fight anymore if I can help it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the other hand, I had a feeling that I would have to fight against Mr. Karon, no matter what it took.

I had a feeling that I would have to fight with Mr. Karon no matter what.

　After entering the water city of Mearaq and meeting up with Amaco and Bulrin, I was struck by how deserted the streets were.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No stores were open, and there were no people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had a bad feeling at the sight of so many people, and looked at Mr. Aruk next to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mr. Aruk, this is ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, for some reason, there's no one in sight."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Don't tell me that the people here were done in by Mr. Karon ......?　No, there would have to be blood or some other sign that they were ransacked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Amako, I don't smell blood or ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, not at all."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That means Mr. Karon didn't do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then why? Under the circumstances, it is possible that there is no one in the castle beyond our line of sight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Gruar."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Usato, Burlin says there's no sign of anyone around here."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe this isn't about the letter. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think it's worthwhile to give a letter to Mearaq if he's in such a situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mister Usato, why don't you look for the person who put up the wards?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Even if the warding was done by magic tools, it must have taken a human hand to make it work that well. If we can find that person, we may be able to understand this mysterious situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Right. Aruk is right. Let's first look for the person who made the wards. Currently, the only person who seems to be related to Mearaq has been knocked out by the blow he received earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nair, who is dressed as a village girl, agrees with Aruk-san's words and glances at the armored man on my back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is true that what we need to do now is to assess the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, with Nair, Amako, and Bulrin, who have better senses than humans, we'll find them soon enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That won't be necessary."

　A muffled voice echoes from behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that Mr. Leo has awakened from his stupor.
