It's been a very busy day since the day after I spun the ceiling gacha.
　Naturally I reported this matter to the Adventurer's Association, and the reaction of Bence-san, the head of the branch, was tremendous.
　As expected, the demon had caused a mutation and defeated it on the spot, the town was attacked due to the loss of the guardian god's blessing that was in Sevalia, and now that blessing has returned.
　In summary, these are the three things I told you. These three things alone are pretty shocking, but if it were true, the resurrection of the guardian deity, Lord Testudo, would be included here as well.

　But I kept that matter under wraps this time.
　It's just that the situation is still in a state of confusion, and if I tell people about the guardian deity here, there will be a huge mess.
　Not only that, the people in the temple, especially Irina-san, can't seem to come to the association right now, so we can't just talk about it without permission.
　I'm sure they're still too weak to talk about it, since Testudo-sama was using quite a bit of power to bring back the blessing, and I'm sure they're still too weak to talk about it.
　I've decided after discussing with Esther and the others that I'll tell them the details with Irina-san and others at a later date.
　It's the most important thing to know that the mutations in each area were caused by the demons, so we've agreed to tell the head of the association in the capital and have him deal with it in various ways.
　I've been told that the rewards will only be paid after detailed information is known, but if the information about the demons is true, it seems to be a significant amount of money.
　Geehee, this is something to look forward to!

　And in the meantime, I used the skill upgrades I received from this previous reward to enhance the skills of Esther and the others.
　After much discussion and debate, I decided to raise Luna, Esther, and Freesia's skills by 1.
　There was already an option to upgrade the 2-star Nolls to 5 stars, but it was decided that raising them all to an average level would allow them to deal with various problems.

　------
[Cazicle 2]
　4.2 times total attack power for one hit only. Ignores defense and magic resistance.　Reuse Time: 4 minutes.
[Great Magic*2]
　Increases the power of magic by 110% and reduces the magic resistance of all opponents by 90. Reuse Time: 10 hours
Inversagitta*2
　Multiplies attack power by 1.2 and makes a simultaneous attack that lasts over a wide area.　Reuse Time: 22 hours
　------

　I knew that even with just one skill increased, the effectiveness would increase considerably.
　Luna and Freesia are still at the first stage of their skills, but I wonder how much they'll be enhanced if their skills change with this.
　By the way, the Priestess who was removed from the enhancement target was rolling around on the floor and fooling around, but it can't be helped since she's never used her skills even once before.
　I've never been in a situation where I had to use a skill to recover because my recovery ability was high to begin with.
　I'm curious to see what happens with the recoil, and I'll have him try it out next time.

　So many things happened, but while we waited to hear the story at the temple, I also accepted a request to restore the town via the association.
　Most of the other adventurers are also helping, and a few B-rank adventurers like me and Gretto-san are helping out by making rounds around the town and helping out on the spot.
　I don't think any more demons will come, but we're prepared for them just in case.
　If we are attacked by demons in this situation, there will be a lot of damage.
　Already about ten days had passed, and the town was slowly settling down.
　Right now, I'm here with Noor and Esther to patrol and repair the harbor.
　Sisha is on a business trip to the Adventurers Association and other places to treat the injured and other people, and Freesia and Luna asked the two of them to patrol the town appropriately.

''It looks like the town is finally settling down.

There are no signs of a monster attack, and that's a relief.

　The removal of the debris from the harbor is almost complete, and we are now working on a large scale to restore the entire harbor.
　That's where our very own Esther is taking an active part in the restoration work.
　The ground and walls that had been destroyed by the demon raids were being fixed one by one by her magic.
　The mages at the port were also helping together, but when they saw Esther's magic, they were surprised to see her mouth open with an open mouth.
　I don't know what kind of logic is used to fix it, but with a single wave of the staff with a shout of "ei," the chipped and battered ground is quickly raised and repaired.
　The scale and speed of the repair work is tremendous, and almost all of it was done by one person.
　It's too much, because this is done in an instant without even chanting and without a grimoire.
　When I was carrying my luggage and other items with Noor while watching Estelle's repair work from a distance, I was approached by Rowen-san, a fisherman I know.

'Oh, thanks for not only making the rounds, but also helping me clean up.

No, no, I can't just sit here and watch you all go through this.

The fishermen are safe and sound!

　The people in the harbor were the first to detect the demon's attack, and the resident soldiers and mages immediately intercepted it, while the fishermen evacuated from the harbor and went around to inform the town's residents and adventurers.
　Thanks to this, the people near the harbor were able to escape before the demons landed, and there was surprisingly no human damage to the residents.
　It seems that the priority of the demons was to head to the temple as well, except for those stranded, they just ignore the people and destroy buildings and the like.
　I'm really glad they aren't actively attacking people.
　That's the reason why there was a lot of mess in the temple, though.

It's hard to imagine going out fishing under these circumstances. Most of the boats we used to stay at were destroyed. Until a replacement boat is available, we'll have to do some diving with our bare hands.

"I wish we could have come sooner, sir, but...

Hey, I'm just grateful that you're here. The harbor is clear, a broken ship is nothing to sneeze at. That's all the fishermen in Seville can do.

　Loken laughs as he rolls up his arms and makes a power hump.
　The wreckage has already been removed, but the fishermen's fishing boat that was anchored in the harbor was destroyed when the demon landed and there is nothing left of it.
　The demon didn't attack the ship directly, but it was caused by a tornado-generating tornado shark.
　A flying shark is a scary thing, but a tornado that can even destroy a ship is the most dangerous demon in the world.
　When I was at a loss as to how to respond to the seemingly energetic Loken, he chuckled and continued his story.

'Well, don't worry about it. The lord and the mayor are willing to help you repair the harbor and provide you with ships and support. I've heard that the Adventurer's Association and merchants are also talking about it.

'That's how important this town's port is to you. If there's anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to let us know.

We do everything we can to help you, sir!　The fish and shellfish in Sevalia are delicious!

'Haha, yeah!　Well then, I'll have to work hard to live up to expectations and get back to fishing!　I can't show my pathetic side to the guardian gods who are watching over me!

　If the lord and the mayor and the like also support us, then surely there's no need to be so pessimistic.
　And is it also thanks to the guardian gods in a way that I can think positively like this?
　When Testudo-sama revived the blessing on Sevalia, light was shining down from the sky on the entire town.
　I overheard a rumor while cleaning up the town, and it seems that the word is spreading that that was the light emitted by the guardian goddess. That's actually true, though.

That's true. It's times like this that you should believe in your guardian goddess, right?

Yeah. The demon attacked me and saved me from a close call.

It's the light that dissipated in the sky, isn't it?

'That's one thing, but that's another. Don't you guys know that?

　Yeah?　Something about the way things are going and it's not that light?
　Loken's excited story goes on to say that he was running around town trying to evacuate the residents when he accidentally came across a demon.
　Unfortunately, the demon spotted him and almost attacked him, but he was saved by an arrow flying from the sky.
　...arrows?　I have a very bad feeling about this.

''I took down that merfolk with a single blow. Moreover, the green arrow in the ground immediately disappeared from the spot!　There's no way anyone else could do that but a guardian god could do that!

''Oh, I suppose that might be true. By the way, there are other rumors and stuff...

I haven't seen it, but there's a story about a red spear that flew from the sky and pierced the monster. That one also pierced the wall, but it disappeared immediately. It was happening all over the place. Thanks to this, the town is discussing the existence of a guardian deity.

　Bubba, Bubba, Bubba!　Just when you think you've heard so much about your guardian god, that's why!
　I'm pretty sure it was Luna and Freesia.　They've got you confused with your guardian god!
　He told them to stay out of sight and help the inhabitants, and he would have attacked them from a distance, out of sight and out of sight.
　And the two spears and arrows have automatic recovery added to them.
　
　I definitely don't want them to see the two of them with their spears and bows.

'But even if you go to the temple to express your gratitude, apparently you can't go inside now. It is said that the place was also attacked by a lot of demons. The ground has been gouged out here and there, and it's in a worse shape than the harbor. I wonder what kind of monster was rampaging there?

　It seems that the temple is currently forbidden to visit, so they can ask for your business at the entrance, but you can't go inside.
　........Yeah, Karon-chan was the one who made the crater and other things in that temple.
　When we can get into the temple, we'll have to go fix it ourselves.

　When I finished talking with Loken-san, Esther, who was just working on the restoration, came back.

''Phew, it's finally done.

Sorry I had to leave you on your own.

I'm the only one who can fix it right away, so it can't be helped. This should be fine for a while. The new scaffolding and walls that we've created will repel Freesia and Luna's attacks.

That sounds too sturdy, sir, but I'm glad to be back in a clean harbor.

　It's really dependable, Esther-san, that you can lightly and quickly repair the damage.
　Even if we are attacked by demons again, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
　The port is now completely cleaned up, and I hope that it will gradually come to life again.

The first thing that comes to mind is that there is no longer an atmosphere in which Sevalia is likely to be attacked.

The Malignant has been defeated and Master Testudo is in the temple. If they had friends, they wouldn't bypass the temple, would they?

I hope so, sir. Are you sure you still have friends?

'I originally thought there was a possibility of more than one offender, and from the way he talked, there's no doubt he's there. Well, he didn't seem to be getting along too well.

That witch seems to have a bad character, you know. That's why we were saved.

'Maybe I was proud of myself for seeming cautious and lowly. But it looks like he had someone's hand in it, so we can't let our guard down in the future.

　Malignant was an annoying guy until the end. It's not surprising that he was hated by the demons of his own race.
　But that guy himself didn't seem to be very good at magic. It's possible that he had the help of someone who could make a magic light stone that could generate demons.
　Even the one who summoned Phallus Testudo is not likely to be able to prepare for it by himself. There had to have been someone else helping him.
　From now on, we must avenge the Malignant!　What kind of friends might attack us, and we should keep an eye out for any strange occurrences in the future.
　I think we should not just wait and see, but also actively gather information on the demons.

　The sun is beginning to set and we have finished today's work, and have met up with Cis-Ha and the others.
　I didn't go straight to the inn, but moved out of the town to a less popular place.
　Since the town has settled down, it's time to check the performance of the equipment that came out of the ceiling gacha.

Well, now that I've got things to do today, I guess I'll just try out some of the items in the gutter.

Which one would you like to try?

That's the psycho-horn you're most interested in, of course. If this thing reads your thoughts like the description says, it's a pretty awesome item.

Huh?　I knew what I was thinking the other day!

He has seen through me, sir!

'Nole and Freesia are not helpful. I'm glad to be out for a long time today, I want to eat. I think so now.

How do you know?　It's Luna-chan Espah!

I didn't know Luna had that kind of ability.

　Seeing the two of them reacting, Luna has a zit-eyed, dumbfounded look on her face.
　Could it be that these guys are always thinking about the same thing........
　It's still not helpful, so we'll have to try another method.
　I'll just put the psycho-horn in Helm.

Well, let's try it out first, shall we?

　I sensed that something was coming from behind me, so I didn't turn around, but raised one hand and put it behind my back.
　Then I heard a crisp sound and it was like I caught something.
　When I turned around, Sisha was close by, and I was stopping her sword with my hand.

'Whoa, I thought I caught you completely off guard,'

What the hell are you doing?

It's an experiment. If you know you're going to do it and react, you don't know if it's really going to work. I thought that if Mr. Okura did something that he would not normally be able to do, he would understand. I didn't think it would be prevented for real. It's so frustrating.

　But that doesn't mean that he's going to be the one who's going to try to kill you from behind!　And then the attacker comes!
　Before he had time to complain, Sisha threw a straight right hand at him, but thanks to his prior detection, he took it in his hand as well.
　Huh?　

Huh.

Oh, you made a fool of me!

　The moment I snickered, Sisha stepped back and started to set up his hands into fists as if to say he was in full motivational mode, taking the distance.
　Then jab after jab came flying in one after another as he ticked off the steps.
　Left, left, right, right, this one is left. Whoa, is he going to brush off his legs from the upper-level spinning kick?
　

'Oh, Okura-dono is completely blocking Sisha's attack.

'They're both awesome!　Good luck with both!

He even sees through the feint. I don't think it's Heihachi.

That equipment could be pretty awesome, you know.

　While Noor and the others were astonished, I continued to receive and avoid the persistent Sisha's attacks.
　It doesn't seem to be a serious attack because it doesn't hurt, but I can feel the strong will to definitely get an effective strike from me.
　But right now I can see Sisha's movements and thoughts in my hands.
　I can't follow them with my eyes because they move too fast, but I can see their position even if they turn around behind me, and I know where they are going to attack.
　When he stopped catching it and began to avoid all of it with a heave, Sisha's face changed and she poked her knees on the spot and cried out.

''Oh no... this Sisha Alvi can't even get a hand or foot out... ugh, ugh...''

'Hahaha!　I know what you're thinking like a roll of the hand!　Let's just call me Super Heihachi now!

What's that funny thing you said again... and why does it sound like a store?

I think we're selling it cheap.

　How rude, I mean not the supermarket, but super--?
　As soon as I turned my back, he sensed a movement from Sisha and ejected the silver liquid, centavra, from the crystal attached to his shoulder.
　I jumped up from the state of crawling on all fours and sprayed the silver liquid on top of Sisha.

''--Ha!

　Sisuha screamed in surprise as she was sprayed with the liquid, but without question, she stiffened and captured the centimeter tarbula entangled in her body.
　It's a good idea to make sure that you have the best possible chance of getting the best results from the company.



No, no, no!　You can't lie and cry and try to exploit the gap!

'I can't believe Sisha got caught. She was pretty serious about it, even crying her eyes out.

'Now that's great Heihachi!　It's as if it's seamless!

　I knew that even if I cried and mimicked, I knew that they would jump up and attack me the moment I let my guard down.
　That's why I was ready to eject the centimeter tablas as well.
　Sisha, who was completely unable to move after being caught, still made a strong statement even though her cheeks were pulled back.

''Uh-huh, you seem to have forgotten. You can't restrain me with Okura-san's centipede bra!''

"...Is it really so?　If you can do it, try it.

'You said it!　I'll make you smile like that time again!

　As I crossed my arms and appealed for a comfortable attitude, I heard an auditory hallucination from Sisha with a snort and began to strain my body.

''Haaaaah!　Aaaaah!　.........Oh, what?

　He screams a roar and tries his best to smash the centimeter bra, but the silver lump that is restraining him doesn't even crack and doesn't freak out.
　After that, Sissiha continued to scramble for a while, but not a millimeter of time passed without loosening the restraints.

'Wait, what's going on with this!　I don't see any signs of breaking it at all!

''Haha, I told you I'm now a super Heihachi, Heihachi beyond Heihachi. It should be much sturdier than before. What do you think?　I'll disarm you if you're willing to admit defeat.

　While making a face that looks like it wants to say gumbo, Sisha is silently shaking her head after hearing my proposal.
　.........Ah, this guy has no intention of surrendering. I nodded, but I didn't say anything about surrendering!　Or so he thinks!　You're such an a**h*le!

Hey, you've been shaking your head up, because you're planning to attack me the minute I let you out of the restraints.

Oh, you've seen it all, haven't you? I surrender. I surrender. I'm really giving up.

　Sisha stopped struggling jitterily and became more mature.
　Even if I read his thoughts with the psychohorn, I can feel his intention to surrender if he really admitted his defeat. It looks like he's finally given up.
　After lowering it to the ground and then releasing the centimeter bra, Sisha let out a grand sigh and nodded.

　Hmm, the way it feels right now, the psycho-horn is a clear stream of thoughts of someone who is trying to do something to the person equipped?
　And if it's within a certain range, I can see what's there without even looking at it.
　Now I'm confident I can react and catch an arrow or something flying from a blind spot.

I didn't think that one piece of equipment could make such a difference.

'I pulled out the power and was only rather serious about the speed. It's not a good idea to be a good fit. To be honest, I realized halfway through that it was impossible.

'Hmm, Sisha's move was good. But he was reading the movement perfectly. The effect of those horns?

Not only that, but it seems to have been enhanced to a centimeter bra, how does that work?

'Oh, and the sensation of moving the centimeter bra seems to be getting stronger. It seems that just a light reminder is enough to make it stronger. Let's try a few of them out at the same time.

　I used the Centiturbra because I felt it would work somehow, and it's obviously better than before.
　Is this also an effect of wearing the psycho horn?
　Move like this!　I was able to control the centimeter tablas as if they were limbs without a strong reminder.
　Before, Sis-Ha crushed it easily even when restrained, but its strength has also increased by an order of magnitude.
　It looks like I can operate more than one at the same time, so let's give it a try at this time.

　I took out the second one first, and I was able to move two of them without any problems at all.
　I made them move in different ways, but they still move smoothly.
　The same thing happened when I tried the third one, and I was able to get the fourth one out without any problems.
　Finally, I shot the fifth one, which is the maximum number, and to my surprise, I was able to control all of them at the same time without any problems.
　It's a bit more difficult to control, but you can float them in the air and move them around freely with varying heights and speeds.
　Oh, my dream of using 5 centimeter turrets has come true!

'Great, great!　I've never seen five of them out!

Is this an effect of the enhanced senses? Their movements are noticeably different.

The hardness is completely different too........ It's a nightmare to have five of them attacking you at the same time.

''The two URs combined to reach their full potential. Good for you, brother.

'Oh!　From now on, I'm going to be Super Heihachi!

　Oh man, thanks to Psycho Horn, this Heihachi era has finally arrived!
　He can handle Sis-Ha's attacks without difficulty, and can even control 5 Centimeter Turbolas at the same time.
　This could possibly be quite powerful, couldn't it?
　And as I was inwardly feeling buoyant, Luna, who crossed her arms and made a small face, began to say something that bothered me.

''Hmm ... but I don't think it's risk-free to use so much power.

What do you mean, Miss Luna?

Like my cape, moving objects with a reminder is mentally exhausting, even if you're used to it. I move objects even more by reading other people's thoughts as well. It can't be without a load.

'I don't feel particularly burdened by that, but... ugh.

　Nah, what the hell, my eyes are whirling around in front of me and I'm feeling sick...nauseous.
　I felt so sick that I hurriedly took off my helmet, but I fell down on the spot.
　Ugh, I can't move!　The scenery spins and spins and floats!
　

"Whoa!　Heihachi is down!

What's the matter with you, brother?

Is there something wrong with you, sir?

Geez, that's nasty.

Of course.

'Oh, I knew it was a burden on your head. No matter how much UR can't help you with that. Here, I'll treat you.

Uh, I'm sorry...

　Ugh ... is this a reaction to the psycho-horn?
　Like Luna said, the load on my head seems to be huge, and I'm not used to it, and I'm not sure if I got carried away and used it too much.......
　In the end, I couldn't get rid of the nausea and couldn't get up for a while, so I had Sisha continue to cast a recovery spell on me and it finally subsided.
　I didn't know that as a result of being buoyed by the Psycho Horn's performance, I would end up taking care of Sisha... I'm sorry for getting carried away!
