And another one - another mole, whose speed had been reduced by Misaki's skills, now aimed at Sion and tried to attack him from the ground. However, Sion took aim at that moment and prepared himself.

''--Ggaowow!

How about a different kind of abnormality, this time with confusion?

　Current Situation

　Attack of "Grand Mall A
　Arihito activates 'Support Attack 2' → Support: 'Force Shoot Confuse'
　Zion activates the Tail Counter → Grand Mall A is hit.
　Grand Maul A is disrupted by "Supportive Attack 2".

Gga..........................

　The mole, which was dragged to the ground after receiving the tail that Sion unleashed in a somersault, moved differently than before - the 'confusion' worked.

''--Everyone, I'm going to make the most of the opportunity that Zion-chan has created for me!
""Yes!"

　After receiving a spirited cry from Ibuki, the four of them didn't miss the opportunity to launch a series of attacks - starting with a strike from the maple tree.

''Yaaaah!''
Let's go!

　Current Situation

　The maple invokes the chi-kentai.
　Maple Tree attacks Grand Mall A. Critical
　Ryoko creates "Aquaball".
　Anna activates Aqua Flat Serve and hits Grand Mall A.

"Galluo...!

　After the maple's wooden sword strike was fully in, Anna tossed the water ball that Ryoko had created with the water from her water bottle and released her serve. As soon as the ball landed on the mole with a roar, a column of water was generated - the girls had such a combined technique.

''I'll take care of the rest.......!
Oh, no, Ibuki!


　Current Situation

　The "Grand Mall A" is an emergency evasive action.
　Grand Mall A" activates "Jidanda".

d*mn it...!

　It was the moment I thought I could defeat it if I just folded up at once. The mole suddenly began to rampage, but Ibuki, who had attacked, was unable to stop.

'Gahhhh!
God...!

　If I don't protect Ibuki with 'supportive defense' - that was the moment I thought about it.

　--I suggest that attack is the best defense. Master, I want you to use me to attempt 'Supportive Attack 2'.

　The Murakumo on my back called out to me - before I could hesitate, I had pulled out the Murakumo and released it.

''--Ibuki, 'support'!
.....

　Current Situation

　Arihito activates Other Assist → Target: "Ibuki".
　Ibuki activates 'Wave Thrust'.
　Arihito requests temporary support from Ariadne.
　Arihito activates 'Support Attack 2' → Support: 'Guard Blade: Tenchi Blades'

　Even though the mole shook the ground and slowed the attack, Ibuki, who had set it up first, slammed a blow into the mole a moment faster - and.

　As soon as I swung my sword down, the ground under the mole's feet 'cracked'.

　The slash that occurred as if striking down from above the mole's head gouged out even the ground - but the impact only penetrated, and the mole's helmet-shaped head that changed into a helmet did not seem to crack.

　◆Current Situation ◆

　Hit by "Grand Mall A".
　Guardblade: Tenchi-blade follows up with a follow-up attack from Guardblade: Tenchi-blade, which hits Grand Mall A.
　Defeat one "Grand Maul".

　Zuzun, the grand maul collapses on its back with a ground shaking.

We did it....we did it...?
Oh, I thought I was going to get hit... why is the ground cracking up like this...

How rude of me to think that I might be unemployed...

　They must have defeated the Grand Maul before, but the four men of the Four Seasons seemed relieved that they had all been able to defeat it safely.

　And so are we. The scrape Elitia received was healed cleanly and completely after my 'Supportive Recovery 1' worked - she smiled at me as she settled her sword and smiled at me.


Rear...!

　Using 'Support Attack 2', I could drain one attack skill's worth of magic power and put a follow-up attack on everyone in the party. It's good to know that - 'Heaven and Earth Blades' is quite large in terms of attrition just by activating it once, and I feel like my consciousness is about to be taken away from me as my magic power is cut down.

''Wha........''
"Oh, oh I'm sorry, Theresa. You're always worrying me...
..........

　Theresia rushes over as quickly as she can and supports me as I almost fall. Madoka, who had been retreating, also ran over and checked my condition with a license, her eyes widened and she let out a blue potion.

''Brother, if my magic power has decreased this much, I can't hold on to my body no matter how much I have.......''
'I'm sorry, I'll be more careful in the future I guess I'd better use this sword as a trump card.

　It's good that Murakumo suggested I use myself, but she didn't seem to have calculated the wear and tear on me either, so I'm meek. It's valuable, but I can't turn my back on it, and I drank the blue potion Madoka gave me - after drinking half of it, my magic power is fully restored.

(The maximum value of strength and magic power should be considered to be almost level x 10. My maximum magic power value is about 60, including the amount I ate the 'Kichi no Ringo'. (In other words, 'Other Assist' and 'Force Shoot' consumed 5 at a time, and 'Heaven and Earth Blade' consumed about 20...)

　If you use the Support Attack 2, the attrition will be severe depending on the content of the technique. You may find "Support Attack 1" useful, but the addition of a status abnormality can give you an advantage in the battle situation, so it's important to use it properly.

The box is down!　Mr. Alihit, the box, the box is down!
'It's been a long time since I've seen a box come out of the box but this is something that you and your friends have the right to acquire. We've been so helpful.
'Oh no, since we're here, please take it. If it has the equipment we want, then can we negotiate for it?

　The mole that the girls had defeated had a box, so of course I thought they could take it with them - but for some reason, all four of them were looking at me with eyes that looked at me in disbelief.

''Ha, it's a box?　If you don't use the equipment that comes out of the box, or magic stones, equipment doesn't get better, right? All the other people would jump at you with a different color of their eyes.
Hahaha........so do we. But the reason we were able to defeat the demon this time is because of Aricht-san and the others.
'If there's anything you want on our end, let us negotiate with you. This time the harvest is yours, Mr. Aricht.

　The presence of Misaki, the gambler, makes the box easier to get out - it would be better to keep it a top secret. If that's how valuable the box is, if Misaki's ability is known, the other parties will be attacked by the pullout from the other parties.

As for the distribution of the harvest, we'll think about it after we bring it back. We don't want to monopolize all of it either, so let's consult with each other to decide on that.
'Thank you. Oh, I'm really embarrassed. I didn't want to judge Atobe-san for being so quiet based on her appearance...

　At first, Ryoko called me "Arihito-kun," but perhaps because I'm older than her, she changed the term of endearment. I'm glad to hear that the battle has changed the way he refers to me.

It's a good thing that you have a masculine voice behind you, because it's very encouraging. Thank you, Alihito-san.
Oh, thank you very much, too, Mr. Aricht!
'....Is it fashionable to call Mr. Alihit many different names?

　I wonder why it's Sensei, but I wonder if it's because I broke the ground in support of Ibuki. The Murakumo's power is high, and my attack power is not high, but I think I've been misunderstood - but I can't correct it, as I can't easily reveal information related to the secret gods.

　Anyway, I apply the key to the warehouse to the box and transfer it. As for the materials of the mole itself, after talking with the maple and others, this too will be sent to Melissa's storeroom.

The parts of the mole are intact, so we should be able to get some good material. The parts that were destroyed can't be used as material, so we'll have to be careful in the future.
'Melissa, you had some great nerve. Before Ellie and I could set it up again, thud!　And he swung the knife down...
'Yeah, I'm surprised. I didn't know a level 3 could have such an offensive power.
It's the knife. It's what my father prepared for me to do to help my mother.

　Melissa's mother is a sub-human, and she, too, has been exploring with other parties to break the curse. Or perhaps Mr. Rykerton had prepared a weapon for the search to save his wife himself.

　That will was passed on to Melissa. Neither Theresa nor Melissa's mother could help but wish that they could return to their former ways as soon as possible.

　The demi-harpy's magic power is not inexhaustible, so they have to return to the ranch to rest. The 'Fake Beetle' has a higher level than the girls, so it would be dangerous if they were to be attacked in the air.

''While I'm saying that..... That's the 'Fake Beetle'?
Oh.........the Grand Maul is over there too. If it comes to a fight, they won't come over here like they did before.
Well, let's split up and fight... Misaki, can you come back here for once?
'Yes!　I feel like I could be of some help!
You really saved my life, Misaki. You can fight with us again.

　The friendship seems to be developing nicely due to the proximity of their ages. Misaki was grateful and embarrassed as she returned to us.

''Rear-kun, since I have the 'Gunwolf Stance', can I go with Sion this time?''
'Yes, please take care of yourself. I'll support you as much as I can. Let's go for it, everyone.
"Yes.

　If you shout too loudly, the demons will notice you, so we formed a circle with the two parties and shouted together at a reasonable volume. At the same time, we activated our support uplift to ensure that our morale would build up.

　We want to save our morale release until we fight the sheep demons at the second level - so far things are going well, so we want to keep our guard up and keep going.
