Chapter 153: The Night of the First Day on the North Continent (1/2)

We got out together from the Adventurer’s Guild. Fortunately, the snowstorm outside had already stopped. It didn’t take much effort to get back to the airship.

To be on the safe side, Snow wore rain gear from her head, hiding her silver hair and animal ears, which indicated she was a White Wolf. We also had a firearm in our hands, surrounding Snow, and returned to the airship.

“…………”

A tall figure wearing a hood was watching this situation. When I turned my gaze, it turned his back and disappeared into the back alley. I was wary, but nothing more happened.

We left the city quickly.

”Sorry, everyone … I'm troubling you.”

When we took a break at the airship's dining room and living room, Snow hung her tail and ears and apologized.

Chris, who sat next to Snow, took her hand.

”Older sister is not because of you, is it?”

”That's right. It's all because of the aristocrats who rules this city. There's nothing Snow should apologize for!”

In addition, Liz affirmed in strong words.

I am grateful that my wives are on good terms.

”Thank you, Chris, Reese. But it's dangerous to be here now. I have good clues about my parents, why don't you go back to headquarters?”

”But it's impossible to take off immediately. By the time we come here, the magic stone’s magic power of the airship has almost been used up, so if we do not replenish it, we won’t even reach the nearest edge of the monster continent.

At Snow’s bearish words, Meiya told her the real problem.

The airship flies with magic stones. Therefore, it does not fly between continents at once, it flies to the destination across cities where magic stones filled with magical power can be switched like steppingstones. This is also one of the reasons why airships cannot be owned by individuals. It costs a good amount of money just to move.

”I understand Snow's worries, but that's why I'm going to meet the aristocrat directly tomorrow and tell him that ‘he must not touch Snow.' Besides, I’ll ask him why are he paying a bounty to the White Wolf? I must ask and stop it if it's a strange reason. I can't stand my dear childhood friend and my wife Snow's clan getting troubled! ”

”Thank you, Lute…”

Snow wiped the tears in her eyes and put her hand on my hand while sitting next to me.

Shea advised without reading the air.

”For the time being, I think we should be vigilant and set up a sentry tonight. Adventurers from the guild and others who weren't there could attack for prize money, or adventurers that were at the guild and defeated could attack in resentment. ”

I think it was Shia who made the adventurers in the guild full of holes. No, I might have made them resented too because I threw the Stun grenades.

”Okay, let's set up a sentry tonight as Shea says. Everyone will be tired soon after arriving but be patient. I think we'll talk a lot tomorrow.”

Everyone responded to my instructions with their consent. And immediately, I decided the rotation of the sentry to stand tonight.

”Hmm, it's cold …”

When I exhaled, it becomes cloudy under the shining stars. Shea and I were in charge of the first sentry.

There was an early uproar, and Snow was tired both physically and mentally. Therefore, the two members who had physical strength were set up as the first sentry.

Shia was still not wearing winter clothes and was wearing a maid outfit.

”Aren’t you cold, Shia?”

”Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine. I'm a maid.”

Seriously, the maid was amazing!

She also had a Coffer, which is one size larger than usual, instead of an AK47. It is an original model with special specifications that has more bullets than usual.

Shia loved the bag-Coffer. According to herself,

”Coffer is the strongest weapon of both offense and defense that can be a weapon and a shield.” Shia always has a serious expression, but at that time she was a little scary because her cheeks were uplifted, and the color of excitement was floating. I wonder if I was like that when I emphasized the wonderfulness of magic liquid metal to El sensei.

Also, at Shia’s request, several versions were produced. But when will the day of the unveiling come?

I continued the sentry while wondering.

There were two airships other than ours, but the number had reduced to one. He found a place to berth and moved.

We moved from the remaining one and took distance. It was to not make a blind spot.

We went out on the deck and walked around watching the surroundings.

The fresh snow accumulated by the storm reflected the light of the stars. It was plain, so you would know as soon as an enemy appeared.

Also, because the sign-sensitive Shia was the sentry, she would notice it as soon as the enemy approached.

”Hmm?”

The snow fell. A part of the snow that had fallen into a small mountain collapsed and fell.

If that was the case, there would be no particular discomfort. But neither the wind blew, nor the animals passed.

But it snowed.

I moved the safety of the AK47 to fully automatic (Rapid Fire) and kept watching the point carefully. The point where the snow fell.

The snow soared from below like an explosion. Figures wearing pure white armor sticking to the whole body from the head to the toes attacked. The number was 3 in total.

”Enemy attack!?”

It came under the accumulated snow. I was astonished, but I got the AK47 Rapid-fire Fully automatic shooting!

The figures were very vigilant, when I pointed the muzzle and fired, they avoided by an extrinsic movement.

”Are they magicians!?”

I felt that they used magical power.

Perhaps they assisted their bodies with physical strengthening techniques and strengthened their visual ties to avoid bullets.

But what I didn't understand was that they acted as if they knew the AK47 firearm. Probably, they were adventurers from the guild and knew about the troubles there.

So, they understood that this weapon is a special magic tool. If they knew it, they would understand it as a high-performance bow and arrow, and if it was a long-distance, it was not so difficult to avoid it by body strengthening technique & visual relationship strengthening.

A firearm sounded on the opposite deck. Shea was also in the battle before she knew it. She was approached so far that she didn't notice……!?

We were completely falling behind.

I fired a 40mm add-on grenade on the AK47!

The snow that had fallen again was blown up.

It should have been a stalemate even if it couldn't be done a wipeout.

”!?”

In a gap trying to replace the magazine I was struck
