169-168 Marika participates in the war



 The human race and the demon race are two different species.
 That's why the history they've accumulated is different and their values are different.

 Since they didn't know the legend that the Demon King created the Demon Beast, the humans saw the Demon Beast as the same thing as the monster.

 It should be called a very natural decision, though.

 That's probably why the Wind Demon Beast Windra was given a name such as "Mountain Wolf" and was graded as an unbeatable monster.

 The wind-demon beast that came to be called 'Yamahoroshinokami' is said to have been ruling this forest for a long time.

''I didn't know there was a demonic beast living in human territory...?

 Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I don't want to fight a demonic beast ever again.

 Just one battle with a Flame Demon Beast is enough!

 Moreover, in the case of Salamandra, she was fusing with Vashbarza during the battle, and her spirit was being affected by him.
 Bashburza's cowardice and sneakiness had infected the Flame Monster Beast, and it never showed the slightest bit of its original ferocity, so it was able to push through.

 However, the Windra (Yamato no Kami?) in front of him now. is different.
 It's a true Hexenbiest who doesn't even wear any unusual weights and is completely ferocious.

 If we collide with that thing, there will be a pile of dead youngsters!

"What the hell is going on here...?

 I'll go to the front and take care of everything!
 He takes out his Hermes sword and tries to leap into the arrows.......?

"It's not time yet, Master Dariel........

 Zester held him back.

''We will only intervene when the odds are clear. It won't be an exam if we don't let the candidates fight a bit!
"Let go! Let me go! The lives of young people with a bright future ahead of them!

 While I'm struggling, a battle is going on.

 The examiners, just to see how it goes, first attacked from a distance with flying tools such as bows and arrows.
 I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

''Wahhhh!
'No! A light mass attack won't even reach the target! Unless it's a heavier attack!

 It was Stanville who said that.
 I know Marika's brother well.
 His acquisition is a hammer, so it would be a good weight to break through the strong wind and strike it.

 But..........



 The whole person was blown away by the wind.
 The weight difference at the individual level is still just an error in the face of a monster beast.

It's a good idea to have a sharp spear that suppresses both weight and air resistance if you are serious about penetrating the storm.

 But since there are still twenty candidates, there must be at least one spearman among them.
 Those kids boldly thrust out their spears and pierced the storm........

''UGYAHHH!

 I was blown away after all.
 As I thought, individual-level characteristics are still an error in the eyes of a demonic beast.

 The air turbulence reminiscent of a great storm makes it hard for even us who are watching from the side to stand up straight.

''Even the Four Heavenly Kings of Wind, Zeviantes, can't deploy this much turbulence all the time...?

 Comparing a demonic beast to a single demonic race is a dumb thing to do.
 If Zeviantes himself was here, ''Don't do it with that monster! He would cry out.

 Demonic beasts are essentially that level of opponent.
 They can't be countered on a scale similar to that of humans. They are just like natural disasters.

''No! I can't win!
Arantziel-sama Dariel-sama, help me...?

 Some of the candidates are already screaming for help.

Mr. Arantzill! We need to intervene! We can't last any longer with just the candidates!
My name is Dariel. I'd like to ask you...
What do you want?
That flaming dragon that we fought in your village the other day, does he not look like that?
Now?

 Do you notice that now?

Riebeke! Saleekah! Do not be afraid, but muster! Don't back down, go ahead!

 Those few who would not give up the game in such a situation.
 The three brothers were among them.

The road to becoming a Class A adventurer stretches to the other side of that monster! Just get out of the way and move on! There's no way for us brothers to go back!
Big brother! That's right!
''You can't even go back to the village with a big smile on your face unless you get an A grade!

 The three brothers bravely challenge each other.
 However, their signature combination doesn't work against the giant, powerful wind dragon, and they are blown away by the dancing side.

''Whoa! No matter how many times I try, I can't get through...?
"The way you've been fighting up until now isn't good enough, brother! You have to do something new...?
But that's not how you come up with new methods...?

 The three brothers don't seem to be able to do anything about it.
 If we really don't take care of this for real.......the Wind Dragon, which is currently doing nothing but swaying around, could collapse in an instant if it were to go on the offensive!

''You shameless brothers and sisters.......!

 At that moment, a voice came from somewhere.

''It's a sign of a lack of lax village spirit that you're willing to give up the game at this level.

 Maleeka!
 Maleeka, who was supposed to have been waiting behind me, advanced to the front of the arrow.

 Even though she was waiting in the shadows where she was inconspicuous, she went to a conspicuous place where everyone's attention was drawn to her.
 Seeing that, the brothers were confused.

''!
''Eh.........? Who are you?
''No way..., maybe, but big sister!

 The siblings seemed unsure and puzzled by the fact that they hadn't seen each other in nearly ten years.

''What! It's really Malika? Why are you here!
The other day, you'll be able to see that you've got a lot of flesh! She's so marvelous!
And what's that thing in your chest? A baby? Are you saying you're my aunt?

 You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. But I can't let your abominations be transmitted to the shame of the Lux village. I am the wife of the village chief. We must prevent the village of Lax from being looked down upon.
Mrs. Mayor's wife?
Isn't he the father of the village?
What is going on in our hometown?

 Marika thoroughly ignores the confusion of her brothers and sisters and conquers them.

"You, take care of Granny.
Yes!

 I was left in charge of Gran while I was stunned.
 It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 Marika, who passed Gran to me and had both hands free, took out a tray from somewhere.
 Her lethal weapon, a tray.
 In other words, Obon.

 It was originally a tool for carrying food on it and carrying it from the kitchen to the dining table, but somehow its use extends beyond that when Marika holds it.

''Hah!''

 Maleeka furiously threw such a tray away.

''Idiot! Even if you do that, the storm will soon blow you away...?

 That's what everyone must have thought.
 But the expectation is overturned.

 The turbulence changes the direction of the wind like crazy.
 But the circular tray, tossed like a Frisbee, flies in a dizzying rotation.
 It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.

"Why? Why aren't you being stirred up by that dumb wind!

 There was no doubt that there was an aura in that tray.
 Maleeka has already shown many people how to fight like that.
 So I didn't think there was any need to be surprised now...?

'Maleeka has completely read the direction of the wind.......?

 That's why the tray that I threw doesn't get swept away by the wind.
 It penetrates between the wind and the wind, sometimes flying on the tailwind on its intended course.

''This is a further skill that has nothing to do with aura manipulation...! Mareeka, how do you have such advanced wind-reading skills...!
It's a skill every housewife should have to master. You know which way the wind is blowing and how strong it is, and how the weather changes. If you can do that, we can hang our clothes out to dry!
Yes!

 The tray that was thrown out broke through the storm area with ease and reached the wind dragon beyond it.
 It hits the dragon's temple area with a clunk.

''Ouch........?

 Even so, the opponent was one of the transcendent beings called demonic beasts.
 Even if it's strengthened by aura, it doesn't sink in at least one blow from Trey, and there's nothing that looks like damage.

 Even so, perhaps due to the effect of the added aura, the bounced Trey flew back into Marika's hands with great force.

'Now, this is where the game begins! Fight bravely against an enemy that is not yours to fight, and spread the word about the greatness of Lax Village!

 What was the fight about?
