I was the one who felt that I should take some kind of action regarding the stirring of the Chamber of Commerce that was blatantly visible.

　I knew that they were aiming at the Mithril Mine, so strengthening the defenses there was a must.
　I could have sent the adventurers from Lux Village to increase the number of personnel, but that would have taken a long time, and judging by the state of completion of the Campbell Road, they could have come tomorrow.

　So we decided to take a quicker approach.

　That's the Zebiantes.

　Even so, he's still the king of the four heavens in the past, and his fighting prowess is unmatched.
　He would be able to kick out hundreds of adventurers from the B-grade and below, no matter how many of them came at him.

He's the Four Heavenly Kings of Wind, and his speed is unparalleled, and he can move to the Mithril Mine and take up a defensive position the moment he says "Go.

　Most importantly, he's been playing around and doing nothing on a daily basis, so if you suddenly entrust him with a job, there won't be a hole in the ground somewhere.
　That was the best thing about him.

　So he had sent Zebiantes to the Mithril mine on the same day he heard the report from Selmet.
　Just in case something went wrong.

'Excellent, village chief!　I can't believe you're putting that Zebiantes on the line!

　I got another look of respect from Droyer, something else.

''Well no, I was just asking for a favor, okay?

　That said, it's not hard to see why Droyer respects it so much.
　Because it's that Zeviantes.

'He's obsessed with Mithril, right?　So if the Mithril mine is in danger, I'll take the lead.

　That kind of lustful gesture is easy to control when you know exactly what kind of things intrigues you.

As expected....!　I didn't know Zeviantes had such a control scheme...!　If only I had known that when I was the Fourth Heavenly King, if only I had known that...!

　Yes, yes, no crying, no crying.

　When I think of Droyer's time in office, it's not hard to imagine how much he was swept up in the Zebiantes and I feel sorry for him.

　You really had a hard time, didn't you, Droyer?

Well, I didn't send it off easily either.

　Zebiantes doesn't want Mithril to not be able to collect, but he doesn't want to work himself, either....

''I hate working, even if it kills me!　You can't wait to send someone else! It took me and Marika a day to convince him to go.
　It took me and Marika a day to convince him to go.

In the end, Zeviantes was in tears.
"Force...?

　That's right, no matter how many conspiracy tactics are used, in the end it is power that counts.
　No matter how the Chamber of Commerce without the ability to execute it, it cannot win in the end, no matter how it struggles. They won't even be able to gain the upper hand once they've placed the Zebiantes in the Mithril mine.

　The problem is that the Zebiantes won't get bored and go away while waiting for the enemy.......

''........Hmm?''
What's the matter, chief?

　This faint interval that makes my ears tremble.
　A voice that is distant yet close enough to be heard.

''Can you hear ... Zebiantes?''
'That would be remote air vibration magic. This is remote air vibration magic, where a wind wizard makes distant air vibrate and emit a sound. I've heard that the sound becomes a voice that transmits information.

　That's a magic I don't know about either.
　It's a good thing we have magic communication devices and such nowadays.

　The only thing I can think of is that I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.
　Did you get bored early and want to go home or whine about it?

　Anyway, I listened to the message from him....

　-- 'The wind is speaking to me!
　-- 'Oh no, too bad, too bad'

'What?　Is it bad?

　The message from Zebiantes was more urgent than I had expected.

'Since it's Zebiantes, maybe it's something like, 'I'm too bored to be in trouble'?

　No, that woman, surprisingly, does not use exaggerated expressions.
　She only says 'bad' when it's really bad.

"What the hell is going on?

　If Lithoges was the one who led the attack on the mine, then even with the strongest and worst forces he could mobilize, Zebiantes would still be able to give it a twist.

"But he's the former Fourth Heavenly King!

　I can't imagine what's going on in the mine right now.

　But in a time like this, there is only one thing to do.

"Assemble all available adventurers. I'll send reinforcements to the Mithril mine!
I understand.

You're not going to be able to do that.

　More and more adventurers gathered as they were notified by Droyer.
　The number soon rose to nearly a hundred.

''That's a sufficient number for the first group.

　Zebiantes is an a**h*le, but his strength is real.
　And he also has a unique sense of smell about battles, so when he says 'bad' about a battle, there's no room for misunderstanding that it's bad.

　That's why I'm throwing my forces into it right away.

I'm not going to be able to get a hold of any of them, but it's still too risky to just throw them all in immediately. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.
The chief himself went into battle!
It's an important mithril mine.

　And in a situation that makes Zebian Teslas say "this is bad," a half-hearted effort could result in water being burned out.
　I'd like to try to understand the current situation on my own.

"Okay, I understand....!　So let's get them in line and get them ready to go...!
No,

　We don't know if that's going to be enough.
　This is an emergency. We'll have to improvise.

Gashta.
Hey!

　We have sent word to our number one adventurer, Gacita.

"Do the thing.
You're really going to do it?　It's a technique I invented just as a joke?

　Although I'm confused, it's clear that I've known Gacita for a long time as far as being able to understand her by saying 'that'.

I'm not sure what to do. It's a good idea.
Yes?

　He called one young adventurer from the group and prepared a gashita bow.
　It was a large bow that was almost twice as long as the one I usually use.

''Don't move - if you move poorly, you'll get hurt...''
Mr. Gassiter?　Why are you going through my body's aura?

　I make the young adventurer "take care" and put an aura into his body.
　After the aura has passed through your body, you replace the young adventurer with the big bow.

''Huh?　No?　Am I going to look like an arrow in a bow and arrow...?
Go ahead.
''Gyaaahhhhhh!

　The young adventurer flew high into the heavens with the force of the bow.

　This is the "human target" that Gacita has developed after years of training.
　It is a technique in which the human body itself is used as an arrow to shoot.

It's a good angle of fire and good wind direction. With that, we'll be able to reach the Mithril mine without any problems.
You're going to send in reinforcements with that?
It's a lot faster than a normal walk. Now, let's go for it, who's going to go next?

　Almost everyone here was ejected and decided to fly.
　The adventurers flinched, but since it was the will of the village chief and the village's number one adventurer, they couldn't escape and had no choice but to let themselves go.

''Nhyaaaahhhh?
''Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

But I can't help but have a little fun with it!

　They were shot out one after another.
　The planned landing site is the Mithril Mine.

But.........is the landing okay?　Wouldn't it be a smashed, smashed tomato or something?

　Droyer's concern is understandable, but it's okay.

'The Gashita is pouring an aura into everyone's body, isn't it?　That thing absorbs the impact of the landing.

　Of course, channeling aura to others is a super advanced technology, so only an A-level adventurer can achieve it.

　On top of that, he has an aura output that can reach long distances.
　A finely honed stinging aura that never misses its target.
　An aura that can repeat in hundreds of units.

　It's easy for Gacita to pull off the perfect move that requires all of these elements to be present.

Good, I've already sent out enough men for the first batch.
Shit.

　You can eject me once and for all.
　But wait. What?
　What is Gacita supposed to do when this happens?

　You can't eject yourself, as expected.

I'm going to have to ask you to lead the rest of the adventurers here. You can't leave the village empty either.
Rissie!

　That's why I'm launching myself!
　Ho, thus placing his foot on the bowstring........

　Bang!　And!

　Gyaaaaaaaaah!
　It's really flying!
　I'm scared.
