208-post process




 After Karon left, I was running towards the port alone.
 The town still seemed to be in a hurry, but the demons were no longer there or I couldn't hear any sounds of them fighting.
 I was relieved to see no red dots of demons in the map app either, but... a blue dot is approaching us at high speed.
 When I stopped and waited for that dot to appear, it was Luna who appeared.
 I'm not sure if it's because the fight is already over, but she doesn't have a weapon in her hand.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. I'm sure you'll be surprised at how suddenly it comes towards you. How did you know I was there?

Of course. I can tell by the signs. That was a light, that turtle.

Yes, Master Testudo's blessing is back intact. No more demons should be coming to town.

''Hmm, this one also defeated all the demons that were in town. No one has seen us. We'll tell Freesia, who's watching upstairs.

 Oh, as expected of Luna and Freesia.
 They decided that Nolu and the others were enough to fight in the harbor, and they came to town?
 Luna, who can sense your presence even from a distance, and Freesia, who has good eyes and ears, seem to be a good match.
 .........hmm? Luna's guy looks at me with a disapproving look on his face.

"Heihachi, the big guy didn't go home?

Well, I had to run out of time before I got back. I laughed and said hello for me.

Hm, he's a stickler for the end. I could've at least seen you off.

He said he'd see you again and that he would miss you.

I'm not lonely, I'm not lonely! d*mn, let's get to Sisha and the others quickly!

 I can't see Karon, that's why she looked like that.
 Totally, Luna is still shy as usual.
 When I also met up with Freesia, who was on the roof, and told her that Karon wasn't there, she too puffed out her cheeks in a very dissatisfied manner.

The best thing about this is the fact that it's not a bad thing.

Karon said she wanted to talk to you too. But that doesn't mean you won't see her again, so you'll have to look forward to the next time you see her.

Really! I'm looking forward to it!

That's the spirit. That's the spirit. We've got to get on with it.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Huh? What's up, Luna?

Nothing....

 Luna furrowed her eyebrows and turned her zit eyes to me, and Freesia looked at it with her head tilted.
 
 Well, I'll take the time to persuade you of that later, but for now, we have to head to the port.
 

'We must raise the victory!

"Oohhhhhh!

 Whoa! What's the matter with you? There's this horrible screaming all of a sudden!
 When I looked at the direction of the voice, I saw that Nolu was holding up his sword.
 As if in tune with that, a large number of adventurers and military-looking people are holding up their respective weapons.
 It seems that they had just finished defeating the demons, but.......they are all very high spirited.
 I mean, it just looks like an army with Nole at the center of it all.
 While Luna and the others were also stunned by the scene, Esther, who was a bit away from that corps, noticed us and called out to us.

''Brother, it looks like it's all over. So the light from earlier was your brother and the others after all.

'Oh, ah ... more importantly, what's all the fuss about?'

'Hmmm, it's a bit hard to explain. I guess the short answer is that Noll did a great job.

 Then when I asked Esther for more details, I heard that when Nol and the others arrived at the harbor, the adventurers and military personnel were struggling quite hard against the numerous demons in a defensive battle.
 When you look around the harbor, the embankment is crumbling to pieces, the lighthouse has holes here and there, and the sea is filled with wooden planks and other debris that may be the wreckage of a ship.
 Judging from the extent of the devastation, it looks like it was a pretty fierce battle.
 In the midst of all this, Nolle jumped out of the way and cut down a raging tornado shark.
 The people who had been pushed down by Noor's slaying of the monsters seem to have regained their momentum and started to fight back.
 The result seems to be that group centered on Nol.

 It's partly because they were inspired, but the fact that they were suddenly able to fight back seems to be largely due to Noll's inherent ability.
 It's a significant force multiplier when everyone is buffed just by the presence of Noll.
 There were times in GC's main storyline when Noll was an enemy, but that stage was just a nightmare for me.
 He's also insanely strong, but even the general units were a considerable threat with their attack and defense increased.
 We've been helped a lot by Noor's unique abilities too, and it made us realize how strong he is once again.

We knew how strong the Nolls were, and that's why we sent them over here. In a short period of time, he's been able to hold the hearts and minds of the people here.

'Nole, you're awesome! They're all looking at me with glitter in their eyes!

'That's Nol. By the way, Sisha is... hmm?

 Luna, who had been scurrying around and looking around, spoke up.
 I followed the direction she was looking at and looked at her too, and found a group of people bowing their heads with their petticoats or holding their hands together in prayer.
 At the center of it all was a smiling Sisha, smiling.

'Thank you! Thank you! Thanks for the help!

'No, no, I was just doing what I deserved to do. I'm a priest, you know.

 When the adventurer-like man heard Sisha's words, he propped up both knees and clasped his hands together as if to shout with emotion, "Oh.......
 What on earth did he do to be so grateful to be so grateful?

''You look completely revered........''

'Sisha did an amazing job too. He healed all the injured people in no time at all, and even while we were fighting, he was recovering everyone here.

 Ah, so that's why he's so grateful.
 As a priest, it's only natural to recover, but with Sisha, I tend to forget that idea.
 However, Sisha is also a recovering role that normally shows its true value at times like this.
 It's hard to tell because there aren't enough people in the room with just us, but Sisha is a top-tier priest who can heal a number of people at the same time.
 There are about 3 or 40 people here, but with her power, even with this number of people, she could recover fairly quickly.
 On top of that, she can use auto-healing and supportive magic to increase defense power, so she must be a very reassuring presence in group battles.

The more people there are in a group, the more powerful they are, both Noor and Sisha.

'Right. I can't attack much due to the repercussions of my skills, so I've been doing supportive magic the whole time. Although I did kill some big demons like the Sea Woolies and so on.

 Hey, hey, I know it's a bit of a stretch, but wasn't the Sea Newudou also a pretty bad looking demon?
 Even though the recoil of the skills is a little better, Esther did her best, too.
 Even the support magic is a dunce without it's power.

 While we were talking about this while looking at the people who were excited about the victory, Nolu may have noticed us and came over here.

''Okura-dono! You have come, sir!

Oh, I heard you were very successful.

'You're still very dependable, Noor!

Not so much, sir. Thanks to the efforts of all the people in the harbor.

 Nol laughs at the people who are clapping each other's shoulders with joy.
 Yeah, yeah, the reason why Sevalia made it through safely is because of those people's hard work.
 It must be a victory that was grasped by everyone here.
 Sis-ha has finally returned with a look of having exhausted the people who were worshipping her.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this topic.

"Sisha, good job.

Miss Luna! Thank you for your kind words!

I see you were doing a proper priestly thing this time.

Even if I were in this situation, my priority would be recovery. Only people were injured, but there were a number of people seriously injured. The residents were able to escape beforehand thanks to the fishermen, so there shouldn't have been that much damage.

 After all, if they were dealing with that many demons, wouldn't they all be unharmed?
 Even so, Sisha's recovery magic would have been able to heal their injuries, and the human casualties would have been controlled.
 The demons might have also prioritized the destruction of Testudo-sama's divine body rather than attacking people.
 I didn't see them chasing after the residents or anything.
 Only against the people who were blocking its path, did the demons also fight back?

By the way, what's wrong with Karon?

Well, I already told Luna and the others, but after Master Testudo's blessing returned to town, the time is up.

'I see you've left already. I wanted to at least thank you before we part ways.

''If Karon-san hadn't come, we wouldn't have been able to defeat that demon. I was planning to drink all the way through the party...

It's a pity.... We wanted you to eat a lot of good food, but....

 Noll and the others seemed somewhat depressed when they heard that Karon had left.
 I mean, even Noll was in a groove to throw a party.
 It looks like they're going to serve a ridiculous amount of food as a welcome party.......but if it's Karon, she'll gladly compete with Nole for food as well.
 You're going to feel really bad about not being able to give them a party.
 As I was feeling that sentiment, Freesia began to cut in with a cheerful and energetic voice.

''It's okay! You'll meet Karon again sometime! Hey, Heihachi!

Yeah, I know. This won't be the last time we'll see each other. If we stick with it, we'll see each other someday, I'm sure.

"...if we do our best? That's the whole point.

It's a mess.

Are you in the mess?

 Yes, Sisha, you're right! If I'm going to stick it out, that means I'm going to get messed up!
 Not only does Noor sound surprised, but Luna is also looking at me with jit eyes that seem to say, "I knew it.

It's a good time to say goodbye, Karon told me. It's a good thing that I'm not the only one. This is now the only way to live up to your expectations, you have no choice but to mess up thoroughly!

What did he leave behind? Ugh, if you say so, you just have to do your best.

My bad feeling was right. If I'm going to ask that dragon god, I can't refuse him.

'Wow! I'm just looking forward to spinning the mess!

'It means I have to collect magic stones, not just play the gacha, though.

''Ufufu, lately it's been all about investigating and stuff to resolve the anomaly. I'm looking forward to resuming my collection of magic stones.

 Yeah, yeah, thanks to the words Karon left for me, the Nolls are motivated!
 Now that I've resolved the mutation, I need to consider collecting magic stones in earnest for a while.
 And it's not just the gacha, it's also the overwhelming cost of summoning Karon-chan in the first place.
 Thanks to the emergency summoning stone, I was able to step over the cost, but that won't be the case if I have to call her officially.
 I'll have to solve the problems in this area as well. There's a long way to go.

 Well, rather than thinking about that, the first thing we need to do is Sevalia.
 Even though the aberration is over, the demons have attacked us and caused more than a little damage.
 I don't think there are any more demons coming into the town, but we need to do a lot of things to help with the reconstruction.
 There's a lot of things we can do, like cleaning up the rubble and treating the injured.

 As I was pondering this, my phone suddenly vibrated.
 No way!
 When I hurriedly checked my phone, the screen was displaying something decapitated and as expected.

【Guardian God's Salvation Achievement Reward: 1,000 Magic Stones, Premium Ticket x 3, SSR Cost Reduction x 3, SSR Skill Up x 3, and the title 'Guardian God's Blessing of the Sea' obtained.

 I almost shouted at the overly gorgeous rewards, but I almost stopped breathing when I saw the display that followed.

[Ceiling Gacha Festival! Every time you spin the gacha 110 times, UR is always released!

 Huh? The ceiling?
