More than ten days after I finished my survey of the hunting grounds where the Cancer Cave is located.
　Since then, I went around to two more sites of diabolos sightings to investigate.
　However, we found nothing new at those two sites.
　And tomorrow, they were about to head to the next site.

'Heihachi!　I want you to take me on a magic stone hunt!

　After returning home, Freesia called out to me while I was in the middle of making plans for tomorrow.
　Hohoho, I didn't expect you to volunteer to hunt for magical stones.
　Freesia, there's something to see!

Oh, you wish to hunt for magical stones. All right, let's get right to it.

　I was about to reply pleasantly.
　Immediately, a silver-haired clunky knight slipped in between me and Freesia.

''Freesia, what bloody thing are you talking about!　You shouldn't say that!

'Wow!　No, Noll!　Don't rock the boat!

　As if to tell her to come to her senses, Noor grabbed both of Freesia's shoulders and shook her body back and forth.
　When they were making a noise like that, Esther and Sisha also gathered and I explained the situation to them.

''What on earth happened to you that you want to go hunting for the magic stone yourself...?''

'Because everyone has done it before except me, and only one of us has never done it before?　I've been curious since the last time I heard about it!　So I want to go!

'Freesia, I know you're curious, but there are things you don't have to experience.... You don't have to go to hell on your own!

Boo.

　Noll is trying his best to convince her, but Freesia's mouth is aggrieved.
　I don't think she's going to give up, even if Noll, who is a good friend of mine, says so.
　As far as I'm concerned, it's very convenient for me.

The timing of the third investigation is over, and it's the perfect time for a break. Let's go hunt for some magic stones!　Wouldn't Sisha agree?

''Yes, you're absolutely right. I've been neglecting my mess and collecting magic stones because of the seriousness of my requests lately, so I should do it so I don't forget!

'I think it's a good thing to take your request seriously, sir...'

'You can't argue with your brother and Sisha, just give up.

　
　But in fact, even though he has plenty of magic stones, he hasn't been collecting them for a long time. This is a serious situation.
　And even though it's a request, I feel like I've been moving and investigating too many times to put down roots.

''To be serious, you haven't had much time off lately, right?　So let's take a break and take a little breather. That's why, even if I were to do a magic stone hunt, I wouldn't do it until midnight. As for me, I want to be able to use it as a reference when I suddenly need a magic stone, so I should let Freesia experience it, right?

'I hope I never get that chance, sir...'

　Thinking about what happens when that happens, Noor rubs his two arms and his voice trembles.
　I don't really like hunting for magic stones per se either. I have no choice but to do it for the sake of the mess.
　And I know how strong Freesia is, but I also want to think about how to make her do it if we're going to hunt magic stones.
　So now that she wants to go voluntarily, now is the time to take her out for a magic stone hunt.

''Noor-chan!　Please!　I want to try my hand at magic stone hunting, too!

'Ummm ... if Freesia says so much ...'

'Yes!　Thank you, Noll!

　Freesia, who asked him to put his hands together, seemed reluctant to do so, but Noor agreed.

●

　The next morning, me, Sisha and Freesia immediately came to the Goblin Forest for the first time in a long time.

''Well, how shall we go about hunting?

'Normally I'd just run into the spring and flail about, but you're a bowman, Freesia,'

I knew freesia wouldn't be a good match for you in the woods, didn't I?

'Umm, I don't know...'

　I came here as a standard place to hunt demon stones, but with a bow, I can't fight in close quarters.
　The first problem is that I'm not sure if it's possible to hunt efficiently with a bow in the first place.
　Hmm, thinking about it, would I have been better off dealing with the lizardmen in the open area of Mount Remri?
　But I don't want to deal with a Kepur opponent because they're going to come at you with eight of them all at once and you can't take them out with snipers alone.
　While Sisha and I were puzzling over what to do, he was thinking.

'Hahahaha!　It feels so good to be in the woods!

　He was laughing in the trees, playing with them, jumping up and down on the branches with a twitch, or grabbing them with both hands and spinning them around in a circle.
　Ape or that guy... no, he's an elf and that's why he's so good with the forest?
　That's faster than I normally run around on the ground, you're the king of the jungle.

'I can't believe that guy could move like that...'

I think Nol-san and Luna-san are better at simple speed, but Freesia-san might be quicker in the forest.

　Hmmm, I should be looking at it right in front of me, but it's so fast that I'd lose it if I let my mind wander.
　This could possibly be a quick bow hunt as well.......I wonder.
　After moving around for a while, Freesia jumped down in front of us from the top of a tree.

'Yeah, yeah!　So, do you think we should hunt here?

Oh, goblins and orcs will spring up in certain areas, so you have to focus on a few areas and defeat them at the same time. Then the black orcs will spring up, and you can defeat them and get the magic stone. Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

　........Will it really be okay?
　While I was anxious for Freesia to salute and give a good response, I told her how to go around the spring place.
　And after finishing the explanation, Sisha and I decided to step away for a bit and leave Freesia alone to observe the hunt.

　First, Freesia didn't hold up her bow..., she jumped onto a tree, just like she was playing earlier.
　Then, looking in the direction of the goblins, I took a few arrows out of the tube and held them in my hand, moving over the branches while keeping a watch on the bow.
　When she followed them so as not to lose sight of them, she jumped up and down and released bow after bow at the same time, hitting the goblins and orcs that were on the prowl.
　There are an unusual number of arrows flying around, sometimes releasing several at a time.
　Of course, he didn't miss a single shot, landing precisely on the head or heart, obliterating nearly half of his body and killing him instantly.

　The goblins and other things that were in hard-to-see places were also hit by the unnatural curve of the bow's trajectory.
　Without stopping, Freesia went around the spring place while moving over the trees, destroying the demons in the blink of an eye.
　This, you're faster than me running around below and hunting........

''Hmph, that's good!

　When Freesia comes back after a round of hunting, she snorts and puffs her chest out with pride.
　Yeah, there's not much to complain about. I want to honestly praise you.

''Ah ... that's enough. With this, it looks like Freesia can collect magic stones here too.''

''So now Freesia-san is part of the same magic stone collecting group as we are.

'Wow!　I'm with Sisha and the others!

　I thought it would be impossible to hunt effectively with a bow, but it wasn't.
　

''Alright, then, let's go hunting until the sun goes down today!

'Uh-huh, it's been a long time since I've hunted here!　I'll enjoy it to my heart's content!　Good luck with that, Freesia!

'Yes!　Hang in there!　....Huh?　The sun just came up a few minutes ago, and now the sun is going to set...

Come on, let's get on with the hunt without thinking twice.

Uh-huh!

　Freesia was about to notice something unnecessary, but I fooled her with my momentum, and Sisha and I began to hunt for the magic stone as well.
　And after a few hours passed, we decided to take a break with the lunch that Nol made for us.

''Woo, Heihachi!　I'm tired of hunting!　It's crazy to do this until the sun goes down!

　Freesia protested, holding up one hand as she munched on her sandwich and held up one hand.
　I fooled her with my momentum earlier, but it looks like she's cooled down while we're hunting.
　Still, you're turning up the sound a little too soon!

Oh, come on, we haven't even been at this for half a day.

'Yes. I'm finally getting warmed up. You said you wanted to come, didn't you, Freesia?

'Because all you have to do is go back and forth to the same place over and over again and slay goblins and orcs incessantly.　Now I know why Noll-chan hated it so much....

　Freesia looks downcast and gloomy, perhaps remembering Noll's words from yesterday.
　Hmmm, she's quite moody and doesn't look like she's fit to make me do the same work for a long time.

''Well, if that's the case, Freesia can go home now.

'What?　Not if you are Mr. Okura!　Once you've come with me, you'll finish what you started!　You could have said something like that.

''I'm not that much of a demon either........ Originally it was just to see if Freesia could hunt for the magic stone, and if the person who wanted to come says he's done with it, then that's the end of it.

Oh, I see you have some serious ideas, Mr. Okura.

That's too much!

　What the hell does this guy think I am....
　I didn't bring you here to punish you for breaking your promise, and that's enough for now.
　You know what happens if you break your promise with this.

''Oh, but before I leave, I want to try something!　I'm trying to use my skills!

Yeah?　Skills?

　I finished lunch and was about to take Freesia home when she said something like that.

'What kind of skills do you have, Freesia-san?'

I'm pretty sure it was a broad, sustained attack.

'A wide area attack with a bow I can't imagine how it would work.

　Let's see, was Freesia's skill Inversagitta?
　In GC it was like a bunch of arrows falling from the sky... what the hell does it feel like in this world?

'I want to see it too, and I want to see how Freesia recoils, so let's give it a try.

Yay!

　If you don't know what kind of skills you're using, you might get in trouble when you're about to use them.
　Especially as a combat position, the Freesia skill can change the battlefield by itself.
　........Oh, by the way, when I was playing GC, I have a bitter memory of my army being vaporized by a player with a Freesia skill and my army evaporating..............Kukk!

　Before I asked Freesia to use her skills, I checked my surroundings with the map app.

'Okay, there's no one nearby, so it's not a problem to use it. Get it done!'

All right, all right, then!

　Starting with my signal, Freesia took her turn with an arrow and held her bow.
　Then with a cheerful shout, the green arrow begins to glow brightly as the light gathers around it.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.
　The released arrow flies into the sky and stops suddenly at some height.

　When Sisha and I are tilting our heads to see what's going on.......in the next moment, something jumps out of the arrow that is stopped in the air and glows green.
　If you look carefully at it, it is in the shape of an arrow, and the number of arrows is increasing rapidly, flying towards the ground in countless numbers.

''This, this is........''

'Wow the red dots are disappearing more and more from the map app.

'It's my special move!　I don't know!

　There were quite a few red dots displayed on the map app, but they are disappearing as fast as they came up.
　There were also demons that seemed to be newly emerged, but as soon as they emerged, they were gone.
　All the demons within the range of the map app have been killed... how large is this area?
　I got more than 10 magic stones in an instant.

　As I was admiring myself, a shiny object was flying towards me from the green arrows floating in the sky.

''Well, it's flying towards us too!

'Whoa!　What the hell are you doing?　Let's get out of here!

'Hahahaha!　My skills are awesome!

　As I hurriedly turned around and ran away, green arrows pierced the place we were at earlier one after another and disappeared.
　From what I saw in the map app, that's enough power to kill a black orc instantly.......if this was dependent on Freesia's attack power, that one shot is nearly 5,000 power?
　This is a disaster!　He's more evil than Noll and Esther!
　I kept running and finally got out of Inversagitta's range.

''Huh..........................This is the right thing to let them do beforehand.

'I didn't expect a random, widespread attack...'

　Looking towards the forest in the distance, I saw that Freesia's Inversagitta was still continuing and one after another green light was falling on the ground.
　Looking at my phone, I saw that there were 10 more magic stones, and I got a total of more than 20 since I used the skill.
　How could I get that many with one skill.........Freesia, that's awesome!
　How glad I was.



　I thought she suddenly wobbled, but Freesia crashed to the side.

'Freesia!　What's the matter with you!

　I hurriedly walked up to her and picked her up, and she turned her eyes around and was unconscious.

''.........Fainting, isn't it? Is this a reaction to Freesia-san's skills?

　Oh come on ... you think the repercussions of your skills are fainting?
　Noor's sore muscles are a problem, but if he passes out the moment he uses it, you can't use it in combat, not very well!
　We continued to watch the green light falling in the distance for a while while we cared for Freesia, who had fallen unconscious.
　I wonder how long that skill will continue........
