I was getting urgent requests again.
　It's not unusual for me to receive urgent requests at a pretty fast pace. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with us," said Quena, a beautiful A-ranked adventurer.


You're walking too fast, ......?


　Kåñëa said, feeling a little tired.
　This is still a long run from the kingdom to the forest, but Kåñëa is tired but not out of breath.


'It's an urgent request, so we have to hurry.
'But I'm not talking about the Knights already being ahead of us.
Hmm, is that so?


　I question the story I hadn't heard.


''Yes. I just heard a glimpse of a group of wyverns that appeared near King's Landing ...... and that alone is a case for the Order.
Yeah, you're right.


　The area around the royal capital is guarded by the First Order.
　It's no exaggeration to say that it's the royal family's exclusive guard group. If a dangerous demon appears, they will immediately go to defeat it.
　It's something I understand because I was also a member of the First Order.
　Then why did we also receive the request?


It's totally ...... selfish for the merchants to be selfish. It's a good idea to wait for the First Order to take down your luggage for a bit.
'No, no, if it's fresh fruit or something, it's important. I've eaten some that fell off a tree and rotted, and it tasted bad.
...... Why are you eating that stuff?


　Quena said, turning blue in the face, "Geez. She's one of the people who knows I've been living in the forest, so there's no need to explain it now.
　It's her own way of making fun of me.


'Well, but that merchant is the reason why the request came like this. It's just perfect since I've been bored ever since I got back from the Holy Republic.
You haven't done much with the requests on the board since then. I don't even show up to the guild. You don't have to worry about it too much, okay?
Not that I care too much. I'm not overly concerned about it, I'm just looking at the card and checking the request. I just don't have the right ones in moderation.
Okay, all right. Well, I'm getting there.
Yeah. I'm going to run at this pace for five minutes.


　The wave of my magic power had already caught the total of two hundred and fifty knights fighting the seventeen swarms of wyverns.
　There were also familiar magic powers and figures there.


''Five more minutes. ...... As usual, Zied's detection magic is amazing.


　This wave of mine is said to be a so-called detection magic. Moreover, it's a fairly advanced spell, and the normal limit is five meters. I've been told that it's useful in underground dungeons and the like, from two meters.
　I only did it as far as I needed to, but when I tried to get serious the other day, it swallowed up the entire city and gave the demons an overreaction, so I stopped.
　By the way, Riff also reacted to me. That little girl is amazing.
　Such a detection magic, but I felt something strange.


''Hmm ......?''
What's going on?
No, there's something wrong with him. He's acting weird.
How is it?　You mean the Wyvern?
No, the Order.
'The Order?　Are you perhaps being wiped out or something?


　Quena makes a number of guesses.
　But none of them are.


'There are two things that don't feel right. One is probably Sheila--the deputy commander class is fighting on the front lines.
That wasn't the usual ....... It's rather a big deal. I don't know why. You feel like you have no choice but to let the group get stuck?
'No, the group members are moving. On top of that, Sheila is also fighting. Perhaps Sheila has just become the deputy commander and has been kind and humane to us. She's probably fighting up front herself, too.
I see. But you feel different, don't you?
''Ah. Until now, you weren't supposed to be allowed to fight under orders from your father, the leader of the First Order,


　Yes. We weren't allowed. As long as we were in front of the group, we should have been told to stand firm in the back.
　In fact, even going out to the battlefield like this is rare.


That's why it's so strange. What's the other thing?
'The other one is ...... collar?　A magic item about the size of a small line circling the neck that seems to dominate the bodies of the group members: ......
The collar ...... dominates ......?　Hey, does that mean Sheila is attached to the commander?
No, I don't think he's got it.
...... Maybe that's it!


　I think Kåñëa got something from what I said.
　But I still can't hear the words. Five minutes have already passed.
　That means we're at the place where the First Order is fighting.


"--Kuena, drop the one flying in from seven o'clock!
Okay, okay!


　He instantly responded to my spur-of-the-moment words and faithfully drew his flaming sword and headed towards the wyvern, which was more than twice as long as he was.
　The wyvern's rank is a B. It would not be difficult for a high-ranking Kåñëa to take on one of them.
　And I--.





　Sheila is fighting further forward.
　Her sword has been bounced off and she has no way to prevent the wyvern's attack. The knights and soldiers around them don't seem to be able to move.
--which they had already understood with their detection magic.


''Ikkei--''


　Is that the demon you encountered in "Forbidden Forest Floor"?　It is. It had no form, but it did exist as magical power.
　It appeared suddenly, and with its sharp magical power, it easily cut steel in two.
　The point is the same.
　It was the first magic I had ever seen and learned.
　The action of drawing the sword is done in the void. Just by putting magic power into it, it becomes a sword that can be slashed.


''--[One flash]''


　The wyvern was easily bisected.
　The body that had been closing in on Sheila fell to the ground and died.


'Are you okay, Sheila?'


　I asked, looking sideways at the beautiful blonde girl who was stunned on her buttocks and stunned.
　She seemed to be unable to say anything with her eyes wide open. I was relieved to see that she didn't seem to be injured from the looks of it.
　Or rather, in another place, Kåñëa has already taken down two of them.
　The group members were relieved by the reinforcements and stabbed their swords into the ground and leaned their bodies on it's axis, or threw their bodies to the ground, resting in their minds.
　The wyvern was still there at all, but their faces looked marginal with fatigue.
　If you look at it, Sheila's well-groomed face also looks exhausted and unwell.


What is wrong with you, Sheila?


　He asked again, in different words.
　Then tears began to trickle out of Sheila's eyes.
　At the end of the day, even though we were in the middle of a crowd of wyverns - she hugged me.
　I guess it could be that she was too scared.
　But that's not all. That's not the only thing that would drive me to this point.
　Sheila said one thing.


"You can't go to ...... or ...... and save me, Jed. ...... ......!


　She clutched at me like that.
