The two of them finished taking care of a number of demons, and the number of them reached an uncountable amount ever.
　From low-rate to A-rate.
　If it was an S-rated demon, the two of them would follow their instincts and choose to run away. The number of times they defeated them, and the number of times they escaped. Both of them could not be counted.

　The habitual demons sought out ways to kill them from experience. Life and death are always next to each other for two people who have lived in the outside world for a long time. That's why they avoided futility when it came to hunting their prey.
　If a single blow doesn't work, they first aim for the legs and block their movements. If it is a demon with a restorative function, the first thing you do is cut off its head. If that doesn't work, I'll aim at a part that resembles a sensory organ.

　Tactics that were naturally set in stone became a force to be reckoned with in order to survive.

　Killing and killing was as common an occurrence in life outside as tripping over a stone.

　Leah and Mair were certainly aiming at their targets in their high-speed, swaying vision. The reason why the means of attack for both of them were similar is probably due to their experience of living in cooperation.
　I had never heard of the term "demon core" until I met Cyan. Until then, breaking a glittering or dirty, hard lump will kill the demon, that was the only fact. Even in a small world, there was no great gap between what one could know inside and outside.

　Strangely, Mea found her entire body's senses sharpening, as if she was nostalgic for the past. They were fighting for life and death against an unfathomable monster.
　Rhea was also aware of the elation that emanated from within the creeping feeling. This sensation of temperature being lost from their skin seemed to let them know that their heads had completely switched to combat mode.

　The two of them kicked the wall at the same time and ran through the straight line to the demon in an instant.
　A large drawn machete-type AWR received the magic power and emitted an engraved magic formula to fulfill its master's wish.

　The two slipped past the sides of the two big men and landed on the ground, drawing a trail.
　The sigh of huff and puff was from Rhea. She toyed with her beloved AWR as she landed, spinning it around in her hand and finally bringing it to her shoulder.

'It's not cool like this,'

　Even though I was elated at the new monster, it was a good thing I was out of beat if I defeated it so easily.
　At about the same time, Mea also finished defeating it and let out her impressions, just like Rhea.

''It's so soft. It's like you cut the flesh of a beast.''

　This one had a tone of surprise beyond the beaten path. Mea doesn't mention the speed with which they came here to defeat it.
　The AWR that the two of them had had made to order was forged by a top-notch technician and blacksmith, and the magical formula was carved as well. Although the weapon was exactly what they had requested, all those involved in its creation celebrated its completion with awkward smiles.
　That's as it should be. The two of them had named the AWR 【Flesh Cutting Shears】.

　Unlike the original nature of the AWR, the girls were thinking of using it for practical purposes. In short, it was a tool for cooking outside.
　Could it be said to be a tool for chopping firewood, with an emphasis on practicality outside of combat?
　Either way, the two AWRs were supreme products made of high quality materials that were unparalleled in Vanaris.
　Perhaps it was because of this, there was no blade damage so far, even if they rubbed against the wall.


　Leah and Mair look at each other delicately. That's just as well, because for all his enthusiasm, he was easily defeated.
　The blade that went in at an angle from the shoulder mouth to the waist is more like a half cut than a slash.

　The only thing I didn't expect was that it didn't bleed as much as I had imagined it would.

''I knew it would be boring. Since you've killed so much, shouldn't Cyan be happy about it?''
I'm telling you. I was actually following you, student?　A man and a woman?　I've left the I'd rather be scolded first.
'What?　I knew you weren't coming, but are you lost?
'Neither Rhea nor Mere have a map. If you call us lost, we are lost.
Leah, do you know where you're going?

　Getting lost is not a big problem for the two of them - if it's the outside world, that is.
　Although this is the outside world, it is not the same as the outside world they know. If it's a different country, or even a mineral deposit, it's dangerous to remember the way you came.
　Although my memory is good, it's beyond difficult to grasp the maze-like interior of the deposit, since the two of us have no intention of remembering it in the first place.

　Suddenly, Rhea recalled the conversation we had earlier.

''Right. You must destroy the magic core, mea. Otherwise, it won't be considered a kill, right?
Yeah, even Rare couldn't hit you with a single shot.
That's why. That's why I don't count my kills.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this article.
　It is the first thing that is dealt with in the academy about the magic core. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

"Da, ka-ra.........?

　It's understandable that Mea wants to show off the knowledge she's acquired, but it's unbearable to hear the same thing again from Rhea in the class we were listening to together. It's not like I was sleeping," Mea said, turning a troublesome gaze on Rhea.
　It's also the side that makes you feel depressed about Rhea standing tall as an older sister.

The complaining words, "You didn't have to decide if you were an older sister or a younger sister," never reached Rhea.

　On the contrary, Rhea pompously patted Mea on the shoulder as if to take advantage of her mood.
　Unaware of Mea's temperament, Rhea calls out in a mature tone of voice that doesn't suit her, "Hola hola".
　However, Rhea's expression inevitably didn't lose the innocence of a child.

　'Watch,' she indicated in a buoyant tone, the large male demon she thought she had just killed was standing in a strange position. Both bodies had been ripped from their shoulders and their arms were about to fall off.

''Heh, they weren't dead.''

　The AWR in his grip is once again caged with the power of madness.
　The demon won't exactly die before the demon core is destroyed. Even so, Mea had expected it to be close to death. I was betrayed in a good way.

　However, the big man's condition gradually got stranger and the ripped wound widened - instead of healing, it was getting worse.
　Although he said he was cut, he hadn't completely severed it. Nevertheless, perhaps due to the effect of magic, the wound had now completely split the demon's body up and down.

　With a strangely raw sound, the upper half of the demon's body fell as if it were sliding down the wound that entered at an angle.

''--!
I don't care!

　The demon that became the upper half of his body poked his arm with his sword in his grip on the ground. Dark green body fluids like paint soaked the ground, and on top of that, the big man's upper body was balanced on only one arm.
　It wasn't long before he thought that.
　A small leg grew out of the big man's wound, and the slashed flesh rose up. Gradually, his body color darkened and he regained his fleshiness as skin.

　It's like rebirth. It's the equivalent of coming to life again.
　The repair of the defective part is something that can be seen in many demons. However, it's only a difference in the speed of repair, and now it's a common sense that you have to know as long as you call yourself a magician.
　However, this big man's demon showed that he could immediately repair - or even restore - the missing part.
　It's the nature of the demon's core that allows it to repair itself. This big man's body is completely divided. In other words, it would be clear that there is a reparable demon nucleus on either side. However, the other lump of flesh would normally return to magical power.
　So, this is--.

''It's split.

　Rhea, who was glued to the bizarre look, was stunned and spun her words.
　The lost arm and head had already grown out of the lower half of his body as well. Its appearance was as if it was crawling out of a hole in the ground, raising the flesh of the wound more and more.
　In the meantime, one new masked demon was created from the lower half of his body, and of the first two demons he had defeated, the one that was only the upper half of his body had already created the lower half of his body.

Looking at the demon that kneeled down as if to the master of the throne and slowly stood up, both Rhea and Mea made deep wrinkles with disgust on their brows.

''The demon core has been divided, is it?''

　Rhea was stunned to utter a stunned utterance, and then it occurred to her to split the demon nucleus. The reason why it was a questionable form was because she herself did not understand it well. The level of knowledge she had learned in the academy's lectures was limited. However, the only way to accept the uncommon was to apply it in that way.
　For that reason, the relatively industrious Rhea, coupled with the adaptability he had cultivated in the outside world, mobilized all the knowledge he had in the irrational phenomenon and came up with a theory.

　Oddly enough, that logic represented what I saw, but it was also the correct answer.
　The presence or absence of a demon nucleus was clear when the demon that was originally one piece split into two bodies and showed independent movements. Although there are some individuals who have more than one demon nucleus, it seems that the demon in front of me was more of a matter of repairing the deficit and creating a demon nucleus at the same time.
