 mansion

Wow, you're really fast.

 Mistress Ellis and I unleash our magic on the two intruders that Mistress Eileen is dealing with, but we are able to successfully avoid them. This is because the man's daughter behind her has cast a granting spell on the intruders. And then they cover us with magic.

 Dorothea is facing the other intruder. That intruder seems to be the strongest of them all, but Dorothea-san is no slouch.

'Ora! Hahaha!

d*mn, you're a lazy little brat!

 Mistress Eileen deflects the shaved-headed man's axe away from her body, and the blonde-headed intruder takes advantage of the opportunity to attack her with his sword. Mistress Eileen deflects the sword with her own shield. Then she slashes at the empty body with her sword, but the man's daughter interferes with her by casting a spell.

 We also shoot magic at the man's daughter, but she seems to have a small version of a magic barrier and our magic can't get through. It's really troublesome.

''Merlin-chan, Eileen is in danger at this rate. I'm going to shoot the big one!

 As I think about it, Mistress Ellis says so. Mistress Eileen looks at me and nods her head. Then.

'I understand! Acid Wave!

"Thunderstorm!

 I activated the water magic method that produces waves of acid, and Mistress Ellis activated the lightning storm. Mistress Eileen also moves away from the men. It's not the kind of magic you'd shoot in a mansion, but it can't be helped. However

Look out for those guys.

Hey, Kye! You're too late to activate your magic!

I'm sorry!

 There was a large wall built to enclose it. Apparently, the man's daughter built a rock wall of earth magic, right? It's also quite strong. To break that thing, you'd need a magic even more powerful than before, but shooting it would cause damage to the city.

 I was thinking about what to do, and at that moment

 Boom!

 And the walls of the mansion crumbled down. And the one who flew in was one of the men who had just broken into the mansion. Fee-chan chased after him........although his face is extremely swollen.

 My prediction was that if Fee-chan was able to borrow the power of the Spirit King at her side, she would be able to defeat him. But I wonder if Fee-chan's attack, which is mainly magic, could cause her face to swell up like this? It was as if he had been hit.

'What? Tanaka!

 Even the men who had been fighting Mistress Eileen stopped in surprise. So did Mr. Dorothea's. And I can hear the sound of clattering and walking from the mansion. Could it be Fee-chan? And I'm looking at it.

'What? Ugh!

 And Mistress Ellis let out a cry of surprise. I didn't even get it out. Because the one who appeared was a boy who really shouldn't be here.

 ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

"...Whoa! Everyone's watching.

 When I came out of the mansion, all the people who had been fighting outside were looking at me. I was surprised at how many eyes I was getting.

 But haha! All the faces I've missed. Dr. Eileen was there before, but Ellis is still beautiful, even though she should be in her late 30s now. She's a proud mother.

 Ms. Merlin is wearing the hood of her cloak so deeply that I can't see her expression, but I guess she's surprised by the atmosphere.

 The men confronting Eileen-sensei look at us with surprised expressions. .........I had noticed it dimly, but these guys are Japanese. The shape of their faces don't belong in this world. So that means they are summoned heroes.

 As for the rest... who is that? And one of them is a demon. And the other guy facing him has a creepy smile on his face. Which side is on the other side?

 Well, that can wait. For now, we have to finish the fight here.

Ray! Why are you here!

 When I go to Ellis's side, he asks, with a surprised look on his face.

''Mother, it's been a long time, but we'll talk about that later. We have to defeat the enemy in front of us first.

Yeah, that's part of it. Yes, that's true. But you'll have to speak to me later, okay?

 Ellis points his index finger at my face and says so. It's as powerful as the scene in a certain trial game when there is an objection. Well, if my son, who is supposed to be in the royal capital, was here, I would be surprised. So I smiled and nodded my head.

Do we need backup?

 Mr. Merlin comes to my side and says something like that. His cheeks, visible through his hooded cheeks, are tinted a little red. What's wrong with her? 

No, I'll take care of them.

 But, well, they'll be fine with just me. I'm going to body-grant the Lightning Vortex for body strengthening. Eileen-sensei left it to me, and went to Ellis and the others. Well, this guy knows what I'm capable of.

''You little shit! You're the one who beat Tanaka!

 I'd like to say you're a little shit too, but I'm not going to say it now, because I'm not going to get to the point.

'Tanaka? Could it be the man who blew up earlier and had this spear?

 I knew it, but I deliberately pretend I didn't know it to inflame the enemy. The man, who seems to be as single-celled as he appears to be, gets off on that alone.

''Nah, no, Ikarume-kun! Hey, don't be a provocateur!

 Oh, the man's daughter behind me seems to have noticed. Or rather, she usually notices. However, the man called Speckled is probably bleeding in his head with anger and snaps at the man's daughter and points an axe at me. The blonde man beside me also holds his sword.

''You, I'll kill you!''

 ....................Huh. What is this guy talking about? I'm about to explode with rage, but let's play it cool here. It's easy to kill these guys, but if we keep them alive and hold them hostage, we can move the war in our favor for the future. So.

Don't be silly. That's my line. You've ruined my home. You're ready to do it, aren't you?

 I make it look like I'm pissed off so that they don't find out about it. But they lost their temper at this word of mine. They're too short-tempered.

"I'll kill you!

 Saying this, Speckled comes running with his axe at his side. A little behind him, the blond man also comes running with his sword ready to follow. The man's daughter also releases her magic.

 The first one to arrive is still the man's daughter's magic. It's an earth magic rock bullet. A number of earth bullets are released. I don't dodge them, but flick them all with my spear. I'll shoot back at Speckledome and the others who are running towards me.

 Speckled eyes avoid them in a hurry, but I close the distance between them. As soon as I reach the distance of the spear, I thrust the spear out towards Ikarume. Ikarume flicks with his axe and throws a side-nap, but I jump to avoid it.

 Then I twist my body and spin the spear in the air, spinning it around. I swing the spear down to strike down with the tip of the spear toward Speckled Eye while twitching the spear. Ikarume is unable to avoid it and cuts off the tip from his right shoulder.

''........Eh?''

 Speckled was so surprised by the suddenness of the situation that he could only seem to watch his right arm as it flew away. The axe that he was holding in his right hand also falls to the ground with a crunching sound. And

'Geez! My arm! My arm!

 I press down on my right shoulder with my own left hand, but the overflowing blood doesn't stop. Besides.

Shut up!

 The screams were so loud that I got annoyed and kicked Speckled away as hard as I could. Speckled seemed to have fainted from the pain of the cut on his arm and the kick.

 I turn my body to the blond man when I make sure that Speckles doesn't wake up. The blond man seems to be too surprised by what happened to Speckled to move his body.

'You're next, okay? Come on?

 When I point my spear at him and say that, the blonde guy freaks out. And while his face turns pale.

"d*mn it!

 It's coming at me. You lose your cool, you're done. I speared the sword that swung at me with that thought. We struck each other a few rounds, but that's all it took for the sword to fly away. Keep a good grip on it. That's what I thought, but I didn't have to say it, so I kept quiet.

 Then I hit the blond man in the jaw with a stone thrust. The blond man's eyes turned gline-white with that and he fell down. He's too weak to be hit. The rest.

'Hi, hi! I'm sorry!

 It's only a man's daughter, but just looking at her made me get down on my knees with tears in my eyes. ........it's like I'm doing something wrong. It's even more so because I look like a girl.

 For now, I grab her by the neck and activate the bolt to make her pass out. With that alone, I can feel my arms and legs dangling and relaxed.

 I'm gathering the four of us unconscious in one place.

Huh, it's not helping. It's ruined.

 And one of the remaining men said that. So does that mean this guy is the enemy and the demoness is on his side? But this guy is much different in ability than the brave men and women just now. Well, I don't intend to lose.

And what are you going to do about it? I'll spare your life if you surrender.

 I speak to the man, pointing the tip of my spear at him. But

No, I'm getting out of here!

 The man takes out something that looks like a scroll from his pocket and unfolds it. And when he poured his magic power into it, the scroll began to glow. This is.........

Bye.

 The man disappeared while saying that. It's a simple transfer magic circle in the empire that I had heard about from my master before. They seem to be few in number and the distance seems to be short, but it seems to be something that anyone can use. I'm not going to be able to get away.

 But for the time being, it's safe to say that we're safe here. I'm sure you'll be able to find it.

'Ray! What are you doing?!

Mr. Ray!

 All I know is that there is a demon tribe here. I silently pointed my spear at the demon woman.
