Well, I'm in it for the long haul. As long as you don't try anything else, you'll be fine.

　He grinned and showed it, and Aldis pulled two shortswords from his waist.
　The shortswords that were thrown towards the sky were lifted up into the air with no support.

''Wha!　Soooo, that's ......!

　Gio's eyes were strained as he remembered something.
　In the meantime, the Dispersers were rapidly closing the distance between them and Aldis and the others.

''All of you, get ready for battle!

　Greshet tells his friends to get out of the way, but Ardis blames him.

"Be quiet.

Shh, but ......!

This won't take long. Stop wandering around.

　The dispersers are already close enough to reach the bow and arrow.

'Go!'

　Triggered by Aldis's voice, the two shortswords flew in a straight line towards the dispairs.

　The short swords that flew towards the two display bodies, as if they were being sucked in, overlapped with their respective targets.
　In the next moment, the momentum of the rush was still intact as the dispersers slammed their bodies into the ground, rolling several meters to a stop.

''Huh!　What happened!

　Ralph rolls his eyes as he looks at the dispatchers who have stopped twitching as they fall.

'One more.'

　The shortsword that flew away killed the two dispersers, leaving only one that came charging at Ardis from the front.

　The disperser stopped about ten meters in front of you and sank its body as if it were looking at the distance between you and it.
　I'm sure the other displayers were defeated, so they decided to take their time and aim at our weak point instead of attacking us forcefully.

''Heh, you're surprisingly cautious.

Shaaaaah!

　To Ardis's words, who seems impressed, the dispenser returns a threat.

"But it's not worth it when you attack the wrong person.

　With a cool look on his face, Aldis held out his palm upwards and folded his fingers together.
　As if to match the movement of his fingers, several sharp, sharp rocks were thrust out of the ground towards the dispenser.

''Geeeeeeeeeee!''

　A display of fire from the feet of the unexpected attacker makes a hasty attempt to dodge, but there is not one or two rocks to attack. But there were more than a few rocks that attacked the display.
　Even if I had dodged a few, it was a futile resistance in the face of a succession of rocks that attacked me.

　Just as they dodged the rocks and broke their stance, the next rock struck and stabbed into their bodies.
　In the blink of an eye, the disperser became a skewer and scattered its life.

''S, awesome ....... I can get that dispare to ...... in an instant.''

　Ralph, seeing the battle of Ardis for the first time, involuntarily let out an exclamation of amazement.
　The result of the one-sided battle, not to mention Gio, Grechet and Conia seemed to be speechless.
　It's just a matter of time.

　Greshe was watching the head of the dispenser being dropped in front of him, but he couldn't keep his cool because he himself was in danger of his life, and he was too close to understand the movement of the shortsword.
　Conia was also only paying attention to Grechet, so it was as if the Dispeare had died before she realized it.
　Once again, from a distance, she could see the movement of the Dispair and the battle of Ardis and realize its overwhelming strength.

''Well. We should be safe now.''

　Ralph stood in front of Aldis as he turned around and said.
　Faster than Gresche, who had anticipated trouble and was about to partake, Ralph bowed deeply to Ardis and said, 'I'm sorry.

'I'm sorry,'

　In a complete change from the last time, he apologizes in a sincere manner.

I underestimated you earlier," he said, "and I take that back. I was insulting you, but I take that back. I know exactly what you're capable of after seeing the fight you just had. I was disrespectful to you, putting aside my own lack of discernment. I'm sorry.

　If you can bow your head in a shio-like manner, Aldis can't afford not to forgive you.
　First of all, Aldis didn't care much about it in the first place.

''Don't worry about it. I'm used to it.''

"And I want to thank you for saving the lives of my people, including me.

　I didn't get a good impression of him at first, but maybe he's simply an earnest and clumsy person.
　He must not be a bad person at heart, since he has the courage to admit his faults properly.
　Maybe he's a little like Ted, Aldis thought.

'All right. I'll accept your apology and thanks. So lift your head already.'

Thank God.

　Then Ralph raised his head.

　Aldis looked again at Ralph.
　He is one head taller than Aldis.
　He has short black hair and brown eyes. He has a stocky, muscular physique, and from the looks of it, he seems to be selling power and toughness.

''I'm sorry, but do you have a minute?''

　A man with long hair interrupted him from the side.
　In contrast to Ralph, he was a slender, somewhat small swordsman.

''Uh, I believe it's .......''

It's Gio.

　Gio, whose chestnut-colored hair was tied up in a single tie and swept down his back, didn't wait for Aldis to say his own name.

''The sword manipulation technique I showed in the battle just now. Could it be that you are the rumored 'sword magic user'?

Gio. What's a sword magic user?

　He'd never heard of it before. Conia put the question straight to Gio.

'Never heard of it?　Rumor of a sorcerer who not only manipulates the magic of the four attributes, but also uses his own unique karma, sword magic, which no one has ever used before in a real battle.

I don't know.

　Conia shook her head as she shook her Akane hair.

''The one and only sword magic that no one can imitate. It's not just a matter of how much time you have left on the clock, it's also a matter of how much time you have left on the clock. The story goes that he is a mysterious sorcerer and ---- extremely strong.

　Answer.　Gio's gaze shot through Ardis as if to urge her to do the same.

　Aldis looked away and scratched her cheek with her finger as she replied, "I don't call myself that.

'I've been called those names before, but ......, I don't think I've called myself that.

　Gio took that as an affirmative reply.

'I knew it was ....... I didn't expect the rumored swordsmith to save my life ......, this is going to be a good drink.

Wow, you're such a celebrity. I'll get your autograph.

　It was the girl in red who smiled and said with a smirk.
　She has an Akane semi-long, small face with a small nose and small mouth. Only her acorn-orange eyes feel rather large.
　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

''So, Greshe and the others are going back to Tria now, right?

　Greshe nodded on behalf of Aldis' question.

''Oh, because as expected today, I don't feel like continuing the hunt anymore.

Yeah, I know. I'm having the worst day of my life coming across a four-despair.

　Ralph complains.

'But fortunately, with the help of The Sword and Sorcerer, there were no deaths. It's not all bad, is it?

I never felt very alive.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a good catch in the morning, Gresche said, so that's about a day's worth of work.
　It's a good thing that you are mentally exhausted from risking your life twice, so he said he's going to pull out quietly today.

　Then, Aldis made a suggestion.
