Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
12-Istiraht 6: Zena 2 Squad Trip
This is not the point of view of the Secilia
We've been stuck in the city of Fau for a month…
It was fine if there was some way to twist past the mountain that the dragon lived on, but as long as we could not fly like birds, it was not, we had no choice but to return to Lesseu Earldom and go through the mountain range on the southern route through Muno Earldom or through several small kingdoms by passing through the Eluett Dukedom…
It will take several months to pass the route of Muno territory and pass through the small kingdoms need not be questioned anymore…
Although the goal is not to fight with them, we are still the army of Seryuu Earldom…
"Zena san, what about your side…?"
"Unfortunately, every store has raised its price compared to yesterday…"
"We really should buy it on the first day we arrive in town…"
Regardless of whether we choose to go through the Muno Earldom or wait for the Royal Army to repel the retreating dragons, securing supplies is essential to continue our journey, however, it is important, the price had become so bad that we could not buy in sufficient quantities…
We tried to go to the neighboring farming village to buy it outright, but some quick-witted merchants had bought it all…
"Zena cch…"
There was a small shadow waving hands outside the crowd…
I couldn't see her figure, but there was only one person who called me that…
Lilio and Ruu who had gone to investigate the shortcut returned after 10 days…
Doing it in the middle of the road like this would definitely make us a hindrance, but I couldn't bear it and went to hug them, celebrating their safe return…
"Welcome back, Lilio…"
"What shortcuts look useful…?"
"People may be able to get through it, but it's impossible for civil officials and maids…"
"It's hard even for soldiers, you know…?"
"Even I gave up halfway while wearing ordinary armor…"
If it was impossible for even Ruu who prided herself in her stamina, it must be something difficult for the official san…
"We also saw a dragon in the mountain pass…"
"That's a lesser dragon…?"
"No, that…"
According to Ruu and Lilio's story, it didn't seem like a lesser dragon…
I certainly have never heard of a dragon that has a colorful collar on its head…
Besides, it has no wings…
In Iona's opinion, it, “Maybe monsters sub dragon species like wyvern or hydra…
"Then if he can be defeated, we can pass through the mountain, right…"
"If we talk about size, it's even bigger than a lesser dragon, moreover, it can bring out something like fog that can melt rocks…"
I was relieved to hear that it was not a dragon for a moment, but then it fell like a withered blooming flower from the words of Lilio and Ruu…
"Do you know why he put himself in the mountain pass…?"
"It looks like he likes oranges growing in the crevice…"
"She was taking a nap while chewing oranges with the trees, you know…?"
I wonder if it's a grazing monster…?
Thinking about the monster's eating habits might be pointless as it seemed that the fog was melting the stone…
For now, I advise them to report to the captain and then we go to a temporary residence with heavy measures…
When I saw a young man with black hair, my eyes involuntarily chased after him…
Ara…?
I feel like I've seen that black-haired guy, I wonder who…?
Lilio who was chasing my line of sight said, “Ahh! Meet you!”, and then run after him…
"Lilio, what's wrong with him…?"
"It was the child who waved at Lilio when we left Seryuu city earlier, remember…"
I remember after hearing Iona san's words…
He was a man from the town of Seryuu, a one-armed man named Joi or Jomis who taught me how to make croquettes and starch syrup…
Even like this, I am good at remembering someone's face, but I can't remember that person's name or face at all costs…
"Why were you here now when you left Seryuu city three months ago…?"
"Don't you say that you will become successful in the labyrinth city…?"
"Don't I say that the plan hasn't been decided yet…?"
"I heard that there were ruins on the edge of the Zetssu Earldom, so I went there to take a look…"
"Did anyone show up…?"
"You can say something and not show up…"
"What's wrong with that…!"
The talks between Lilio and Jo san continued without pause…
Although Lilio was supposed to be exhausted from the investigation, she seemed to be enjoying their conversation while smiling cheerfully…
"The proverb says that goblins can't eat a couple quarrel, so let's leave this young couple and report a shortcut investigation on Captain Henz…"
"You're right…"
"I think I'd get sick if I stayed…"
We waved our hands at Lilio and returned to the barracks to report…
"Another shortcut…?"
"Is there something like that…?"
"Unn, according to the story, there seems to be one…"
"But Lilio…"
"Even the san soldiers from this town say that there is only one shortcut, right…?"
"Look, there seems to be a path that passes through the valley where the dragon lived before…"
"The train can't pass there, but the slope is soft so it should be better than any other shortcut…"
Everyone became excited by the information Lilio brought with her when she returned as the night wore on…
Because there is a possibility that we can get through the current situation…
The knight Henz looked like he was about to order into the valley immediately, but his followers had skillfully advocated for him and then it was decided that we were sent as a reconnaissance unit first…
But why is everyone looking at me…?
I feel a bad feeling…
After clearing his throat once, Knight Henz ordered, “Then, I entrust Squad Zena to investigate the valley.”Of course we have no right to oppose it…
After receiving the mission, we began to prepare an investigation…
The next morning, to hear about the shortcut from her boyfriend Lilio san, we went to a restaurant in the city center…
"Then, the problematic places during the trip are the valleys where harpies nest and rocky areas that spout mucus…?"
"Yes, there are other places where monsters come out, but judging from what I heard from Lilio, you guys should be able to pass through the valley with the combat troops you have…"
We're checking out Lilio san's girlfriend's story with an open map…
The map is crudely made, but it is filled with famous buildings to the opposite side…
"Ara ara, whoa, Jon kun is making a harem…"
"God, Mito…"
"What…?"
A woman who seemed to be acquaintances of her boyfriend Lilio san appeared and then she poked the cheek of her boyfriend Lilio san while looking cheerfully over his face…
She had the same black hair as her boyfriend Lilio san and looking at their faces, they seemed to be from the same town…
Is this possible called “shuraba”…?
"Ohh, this is shuraba…"
"T, wait, Ruu…"
"That's right, it's more like a relationship between a man and a woman or rather like between siblings…"
If the sensitive Iona san associated with the relationship says so, it must be true…
I panicked that it would be a shuraba…
"Ia Mito, the granny who dresses like a young woman…"
"You're mean, I told you I'm 20, right…?"
"I'm going to hit the kids who can't obey, you know…?"
"That's how to speak the smell of grandmothers…"
"God…"
"Don't say it out loud…"
Is it my imagination that they look like teasing…?
Lilio's mood is getting worse…
Ahh mou, what should I do…!
I looked towards Iona san for help, but she seemed to be enjoying the situation…
Ruu had been a curious spectator from the very beginning...
"What kind of introduction…?"
"I picked him up in the rubble…"
"The ruins…?"
"Is he an explorer…?"
"Then…"
"There was a time when I was an explorer…"
I felt that he was no ordinary person, but he did not look like a soldier at all…
I wonder if she's a witch…?
If that was true, he didn't seem to have a wand or a tool to use magic…
"Is he maybe your new boyfriend…?"
"That's impossible…"
"I don't want grannies…"
"That's right. Far from having feelings for this boy, I don't even see him as a man…"
"She, fuhn. Okay then, I believe…"
Lilio finally softened after hearing the woman declare that she had no feelings towards her boyfriend Lilio san casually…
After finally returning to the main issue, we finished listening about the route…
We would love his girlfriend Lilio san to guide us if possible, but…
"I can sneak anywhere if I'm alone, but I can't show my true abilities if I'm with someone else…"
"Because my fighting strength doesn't even reach you…"
"I don't mean to follow you because I'll just be an obstacle…"
He certainly refused like that…
We passed through a valley that had a strange steam coming out of the ground…
It was named the Withered Valley and as the name suggests, the trees here withered…
It's okay if we're here for a short period of time, but it will be bad for the body if it linger…
As the steam spread, the scenery in the distance was misty, the visibility was poor alarming…
Monsters can make surprise attacks if we're off guard…
"It looks like a harpy is about to appear…"
"Unn, should I go scouting…?"
I pondered for a moment whether I should let Lilio go alone…
However, contemplation is a bit late…
In the next moment, a shadow flew past us at the
"Take the anti-air formation…!"
"Lilio's looking for enemies around us…"
"Iona san, I will hand over the order after this to you…"
I started chanting spells for anti-sound defense…
A Captain cannot rule, once he starts chanting, my goodness…!
"Yes…"
"There is a high probability that the shadow was a harpy…"
"Lilio san, how many short arrow crossbows do we have…?"
"Sorry, there are only seven left because we used too much for the monster earlier…"
"There may be only one enemy…
"Much of it should be enough…"
Unn, with Lilio skill, seven should be enough…
However, the way the harpy flew earlier was strange…
"Sound Protection… "
It's perfect with this, I guess…?
Something that scares the harpy is a song that stimulates its sleep…
If we can defend against that, Lilio should be able to take him down…
I began to enter the meditation to recover my current magic power…
If it's as I expected, it would be better to recover my magic power to the maximum now…
We could not hear anything thanks to the soundproofing, but the harpy attacked from above the forest while shouting something…
"Haha…!"
"With a target this big, I can hit it with my eyes closed…!"
Lilio's arrow hit the legs of the harpy and harpy wings which lost their flying ability to fall to the ground…
"Ruu, take care of Zena san…!"
"Ow…!"
"Give it to me…"
Iona san mercilessly smashed the head of the harpy with her great sword…
Lilio also pulled her short sword, but there seemed to be no turn for her…
And then, a little after that, the creature chasing the harpy showed its face among the crevices of the Withered Valley tree…
It was the strongest creature…
