The bandit is holding an unconscious Tiana and trying to fly away into the night sky.

　Grabbing that ankle with one hand just barely, I'm still hanging on somehow.


　Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ......


Hmm, he's very persistent.

　And with that, Toldo got on his other foot and duxxed! Duksies! He tried to crush my hand.

"Ouch. ......!

"Let go of me.

That's what I'm talking about!

　When I return that, I whistle 'pew' with my other hand.

'Mm, what did you do?'

It's nothing!

Tsk. ......

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time in the city.



　Yuck. There's strength in my hands. ......

Ah ...... ah!

Haha!

　I lose strength in my hands and get off my feet.

　I'm upside down.

'Eeeeeeewwwww. ！！！！'

　Struggling against the fall, I look back at Toldo as he turns his back and flies away.

　d*mn it, ...... I'm not going to let him get away!

　Heen!

　But then the Black King Maru appeared, summoned by the whistle he had just given me.

"...... That was a close one!

　He grabbed the reins and climbed onto the back of the massive Senrioma.

Let's go, Kuro-o-maru!

　I got my horse and ducked in the air and immediately charged into the thief's back.


　Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!


　Okay, the enemy thought I had fallen and didn't notice me.

'Keep going!　Olaaaaah! ......

　I thought I would have a chance to take out the flight magic Wollertus slash ......, but that would put Tiana in danger, so I switched to a flying magic tackle.

　So I quickly switched to the flight magic Wollertus Tackle.

　The shoulders of the horses that are charging through the night skies, colliding with the enemy's back.

Wow! ......

　As expected, Tordo let go of the woman at this impact, which he did not anticipate.

　Tiana, who was stunned, went to the left, and Toldo, who took the damage directly, crashed to the right.

'Tiana!'

　I caught the woman alone in the air with a flutter and she landed in the nearby forest.


　◇


　Landing in the woods.

'Hahahaha ....... Hey, Tiana.

Hmmm... ......

　He doesn't wake up, but he's okay.

...... Thank goodness. I thought I was done for.

　I'm sure you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for when you see it.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

　Gawd.

　She was a woman who smelled like youth from the blonde "blonde" hair that tickled the tip of her nose.

'...... Let's go back to the castle.'

　Yes.

　If we can get them to Cross and the others at the castle, they should be safe for now.

　But if we fly through the air in a hurry, we're likely to be discovered by Told on the way.

　It's a short distance to the castle, but it's not impossible to walk there.

　With that in mind, I head back to the castle, hiding in the trees on the ground.

　Zsa Zsa: ......

　And after a while.

"My lord. Are you safe?

　And a communication magic walkie-talkie came in.

　It was from a supportive mage of Bando Gitaro's 50-man squad that had been stationed around the castle.

''Oh, something. I'm back over there now.''

　The fact that the walkie-talkie is in means that it's not that far away anymore.
(This is because the communication range of a walkie-talkie, which is intermediate communication magic, is narrow.)

　Hoho ....... I guess I'll manage to get Tiana to the castle.

　And that's what I thought.

That's enough.

　One step closer.

　It was just at the border between the forest and the castle that the enemy found us.

''Toldo......''

Aega Janis. It would be better for you if you handed her over quietly.

You're an idiot!

I'm not a brave man.

　Tordo took a comb from his inner pocket and continued, adjusting his messy oar bag.

''I've done a lot of research on you because of this matter. I see, you certainly seem to be a top-notch cultivator. To have discovered and dominated those five talents and created a party to that extent ...... I admire you for that. But you are that much of a man.

What do you mean?

'Your 'miracle five' are great. But you yourself are just a zapper. ...... I mean that. For example, what can you and I do here in a fight?

"ugh. ......

　It's true that my fighting strength is no match for that bandit Tordo.

''You want to protect that woman. But I need that woman's magic. But I need that woman's magic, and in the end, it's the powerful one who can get through to me.

Haha!

　I laughed briefly, then got on my horse and hugged Tiana tightly.

Agreed.

　I said.

'Then surrender. I could kill you, but ...... I don't like blood, you know.

So, you know: ......

　I raised my left hand quickly and said, "I'm sorry, that was my line!

"That was my line!

　Hyundai: ......

　Then an arrow flies out of the forest's shadow and strikes at Tordo.


　Kah, kah, kah ...... bong! Boom! Boom!


　All of the attacks from the darkness hit, and the magic contained in the magic ore manifested one after another.

''Guffaw. ....... What's this?

You know what it is. I'm the new lord of the Far East. I've deployed my forces around this castle.

What did you say?

''Hahahaha, this place is completely surrounded!　I don't care how powerful you are, you don't think you can match the power of a single individual to the power of a nation!

　Huh?　I look more like a villain than you do.

　Oh, well.

　I'll take it further.

Let go!

　He signaled and shot dozens of magic arrows at them.

''Guh, geez, gulp. ......

　All hit.

　His accuracy is improving.

　He's doing his best to avoid kryptonite.

"It's not too late to give up.

"...... Hmph!　Even though they are a fighting force, they are still villagers. Don't think you can beat me with this level of strength!

　Still, the enemy's heart was not broken.

　The arrows hit, but the power of level 3 magic was not enough firepower to make Tordo attend.

''It can't be helped, ....... So, you guys. Do you know how to win at rock-paper-scissors?

What on ......?

That's it.

　I make a pistol with my thumb and forefinger.

'That's what,'

That's our cue. I'm gonna ask you again, okay?　You're not going to surrender, are you?

Just kidding!

'I see. ....... Bam!

　I fired my finger gun at the enemy.

　Then, real bullets fly from the darkness of the forest with a blue light.

　That blue light is the [Fusion Stone] blue.

　It was a bullet that fused five of the mid-grade magic of the territorial troops' wizards and sublimated them into 'advanced firepower'.

　Shugo Oooh ！！！！

　This bullet seems to be fused with fire-based magic.

　As soon as the enemy is hit, it becomes a dragon of fire and burns down the target.

''Nah......'s oh, nuh-ah!

　The power of the advanced attack magic [Dociladon] that I couldn't master, no matter how hard I tried!

　Liv's 'magic gun' is a great success.

'Ugh, ugh. Silly .......

　At this, as expected of Tord, he fell to his knees.

　But, however, the situation is still not going down.

　...... by the way.

　It's a bit of a problem if you don't surrender with this.

　It's a good thing that the magic gun in the first basket is unable to fire continuously.

　I'm not going to be able to do anything about it, so I held up my finger gun again and bluffed my way through it.

It's a good idea. You want to try another round?

'Huh!

　Huh?　What is it?

　Zakkoaaaah!

　That's where that generous intellectual face of Toldo's collapses in anger.

　Yikes. I meant to threaten him, but he lost his temper. I'm scared!

Tordo!　Calm down!

Uh-uh-uh!

　That's when. To make matters worse, a man and woman who look like Told's friends are falling from the sky.

"Ha! ...... Sophie?　What's going on?

　So that's the brave girl, Sophie.

What's the matter with you?　I knew I was going to be worried, so I came to check it out. And sure enough, I was right!

"Uh-uh!

You're weak when you're angry, and you need to just calm down!

'Sophie, but ......'

　It looks like things are pretty hectic, but if three opponents are gathered together, there's no way to win.

　Let's get away while there's a chance.

　With that in mind, I tried to duck my horse, but...

Hmmm, hmmm ...... eigha?

　That's when I notice the blue eyes fluttering out of the red glasses in my arms.

'Tiana!　You've noticed!

　Then suddenly, the female heroic party became more alert.

　Jiri......

　They seemed to be calculating the difference in strength between the three of us and this awakened Tiana.

　So they still have the upper hand.

　But then again.

Hey!　Tiana-senpai!

　Emma's voice comes from the castle.

　She must have heard the commotion and came to find Tiana.

'Nice one, Emma!

'Oh, Tiana!　...... and Eigha senior, lol.

You're gagging on people's names!

　But oh well, now it's good.

　And Derry is there with Emma.

......

　It's very powerful.

　This should bring us closer to a balance of power.

"Phew! ....... Okay, I get it. Let's call this a tie.

　So Sophie, the female hero, sighed and said.

'Hey, wait.'

　But me stopping this.

　Oh, yeah, I forgot.

"What?　You're pulling back now, so that's fine!

Not good. Your thieves are stealing my face and I'm in trouble. You're going to have to do something about that.

'Ha, I can't help it. Tordo.

"Sophie. ...... d*mn.

　Tordo embodied the magical "Book" in his hand and removed the following items as he showed it to me.

≪'The Face of Aega Janies (Stealing Condition, Shake Hand)'

Well then, I'm going to go now!

　Thus, the female brave and the bandit ride on the shoulders of a huge man who says woo-woo.

　Jari......

　And then the female heroine turned around with her tiara-like "forehead" glimmering, and finally she gazed at me and said

"Hmm ...... that's pretty cool!

Huh?

　I glared at the guillotine, but then the giant man leapt and the female heroes were gone.
