19 Episode 19 "Because a brave man has come, I decided to defeat him with a slave.".txt (2/2)

The blonde beast broke through the lattice window and jumped in.

Both legs that concentrated the ”Divine Power” shot Tanaka-Coga's back.

''- Chii!

Tanaka's great sword, which he swung around and cleaved, slashed the sky.

''Nah!''

Rita bent down as if she knew Tanaka's move and shot him in the wrist with her elbow.

''...... How dare you point your blade at my master (master)?''

The eyes are filled with murderous intent.

Rita's fist shoots the great sword.

Impact.

Tanaka almost knocked the big sword off.

I won't just kill you. I will break every bone in your body and make you regret what you have done!

”Rita!　Its ability is 'acceleration'!

Koga's abilities appear in my 'Fast Analysis' window.

It seems that the longer we continue to engage in battle, the more I can analyze my opponent's abilities.

Because of the master-slave contract, Rita's battle information will be transmitted to me.

That thing attacks at twice the speed!　I crushed your right arm earlier!　That's your blind spot. Also, the armor is hard, so aim for the exposed area!

Tanaka's ”Unique Skill” is ”Double Speed”.

It swings a large sword as big as its height, with twice or three times the normal speed.

In short, it's like being able to attack twice in one turn.

''Alright!　Stay back, Nagi, it's not safe!

Yes, sir!

I walk back to the stairs with Aine and Leticia.

In the meantime, I don't stop the 'high-speed analysis'.

The skills and status of Koga are laid bare.

'That guy can't use magic!　The warrior type!　Also, high speed and low intelligence!　I'm not very smart, frankly!　Also, I don't think he's very susceptible to provocation!

'Thanks!　Also, sorry I'm late!

I'm fine!　I did the math!　Besides, I can remember every minute that Rita and the others bathe!

Isn't that disgusting?

It's a master's job to understand the biology of slaves.

I think it's getting tougher!

Then I won't have to worry about it from now on!

Oh, come on!

Rita ducks down and avoids the big sword with a spinning kick.

Aiming at Tanaka's head - his basket hand prevents Rita's kick.

Rita does a somersault like a beast and lands to protect me.

'It's embarrassing to have Nagi know so many things, but it's even worse that he doesn't care!　Huh?　What am I supposed to do then?

All right, all right. We'll talk about it when I get home.

'Don't be unfair!　Cecil-chan's with me, too!

”Shut up!

With a gulp, Tanaka tapped the wall with his big sword.

'Don't make out with me!　What the f*ck are you doing?　You're with him?

I'm not talking to the guy who tried to kill my friend.

You too!　Woman's got you covered!　What's happening now?　If you can't fight, then shut up!

'Oh, I'm sorry. I can't do that.

I took a step to the left.

'Because if you're quiet, they'll know that Cecil is approaching you, chanting magic.

”'It is my anger; it is the manifestation of my blood. It is the manifestation of my anger, the manifestation of my blood. It is the manifestation of my fury, the manifestation of my blood, the manifestation of my many blades with heat in them.

'High-Speed Analysis' allows you to observe the status of nearby opponents in real time.

”Anger gives just retribution, and its fists will not cease until my enemy's end. Not a single compromise. Not a trace of mercy. Just perish. Perish. Perish. Burn them all and let the last blade go...

So I noticed.

It's only that Cecil is coming up the stairs while chanting 'Ancient Language Magic'.

After the hot water, Cecil is breathing heavily, huffing and puffing.

She's got her silver hair in a braid.

Cute.

But she's giving off a scary, murderous vibe.

She has bright red eyes that say she's going to kill this enemy for sure.

”'Spirit of flame, destroy my enemy with the breath of a million...' ”'Flame Arrow'!

Cecil's 'Ancient Language Magic Flaming Arrow' was completed.

A circular magic circle was created behind the small body.

Several arrows of flame shot out from it.

The flaming arrows homed with precision and landed on Tanaka.

Small sparks of fire were scattered.

''What's up with the level 1 fire magic!

Tanaka, who covered his face with his gauntlets, chuckles.

''My armor has a magic dampening effect, you know!　A flaming arrow can only feel like a mosquito bite!

Okay.

Do do do do do do do!

The 'flaming arrows' fired by the magicians behind Cecil in rapid succession land on Tanaka again.

''So!　When he said it didn't work...

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The 'flaming arrows' do not stop.

They drew an arc, and continued to fire incessantly at Tanaka in an enveloping trajectory.

4 rounds - 8 rounds - 16 rounds. The number of arrows being fired simultaneously increases by the second.

'Futility--the extent of a mosquito bite--wastefulness...'

Geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez!

This armor dampens magic by 60 percent.

Geez, it's just that it's not the same, but it's not the same, but it's not the same, but it's not the same, but it's not the same!

How long will you... this... ────

Geez, I don't know if it's possible to get the same thing done, but it's not.

”Stop... hey... this... ──── that's not very nice... I can't move...

There's not a lot of time for that to happen, but it's not the case, and it's not the case, but it's not the case, and it's not the case, and it's not the case, and it's not the case, and it's not the case.

'Stop, stop, stop, stop!　I'd love to be there!　Don't - I'll die: ────!

Huff, huff, gawd!

Cecil, stop!　Enough!

Cecil, your face is all red.

It's a sign that you've used too much magic.

I'm sure you've heard of it.

Moreover, it means that it can keep firing until its magic power is exhausted.

...... You hurt Nagi-sama. He tried to kill Nagi. This person tried to kill Nagi-sama...!

'I'm not hurt!　There you go. I'm okay. Not a scratch on me.

...... Really?

Really, really. I'm fine.

Will you let me check every inch of it later?

Okay, stop!　Because if you don't, Cecil will fall over!

...... Okay, got it.

With a waver, Cecil's body falls over.

The torrent of flaming arrows stops.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

I don't want Nagi to get hurt without my knowledge.

..........you'll get away with it when you have to.

Woo. Woo. Ugh. ......

Dodo.

Hafu ...... soooo ......

In my arms, Cecil fell asleep again.

Hmm.

I knew I had to think about things.

It's hard to worry about the two of you and hurry up and get it done ...... every time you separate for bathing and dressing.

It's a good idea to find a cheap rented house, not ...... an apartment with a bath, but a dormitory or a cheap rented house.

”Hey, Nagi. What are we going to do with this guy?

I turned around and saw Rita looking down at Tanaka, who had fallen.

'............ scary scary scary scary here scary scary tiny scary scary scary tiny scary scary scary ...... ......

Tanaka is mumbling something.

She's burned all over the place, and her hair is half burnt and smoking.

The Blessed Armor has a magic dampening effect.

I've been told that the only way to feel the flaming arrows is as if you were bitten by a mosquito.

But if you're bitten by a bunch of mosquitoes, you'll die.

I'm sure they didn't expect to be hit so hard by the flaming arrows that they couldn't move.

Gassho.

”Can you finish him off?　Is that okay?

Rita swung her legs up over the fallen Tanaka.

She was in a position to stomp her head off at any moment.

'Let's not get our feet dirty. I just had a bath.'

Yes, sir. Master.

Tanaka-Coga was hired by the Count, right?

I turned my gaze to Leticia, who was looking at me dumbfounded.

'Yeah, yeah.'

Leticia took a few breaths and then said.

''That person ordered this guy to hurt the 'Common People's Guild'.

So what happens when they find out we hurt this guy?

...... I don't think you can do anything about it.

Letitia shook her head as if she was tired.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on. I'm sure the nobles can't complain just because he got his revenge.

I have to disagree with you there.

People who are working behind the scenes can get even with us in the background.

At the end of the day, we have no choice but to leave Metecal.

...... I don't know what to do.

Well, I left Cecil's body with Rita.

Both of us are drenched in sweat. We took a bath, though.

It smells good, though.

Then I sit Aine-san, who was lying on the ground, on a chair.

She's out - or rather, she's asleep.

”I need to talk to you about something, Laetitia.

What is this?

'I owe Aine a debt of gratitude. For one thing, he introduced me to a quest without telling me, and for one thing, he gave me a skill.

So?

I want to help. But if I'm going to fight the Steel Gargoyle, I'm going to risk my life too. So I want you to do me a favor for me.

Help is ...... a nice thing to wish for.

Letitia looked at the rolling Tanaka.

Our strength - or rather, Cecil and Rita's strength - should be known from that.

”So, what is your request?

We've had enough of this, and we need a stable place to live. We need to find a cheap, long-term house to rent. It would be great if it had more than two rooms and a bathroom.

I have a house in the port city of Ilgafa, where I live.

After a moment's thought, Letitia said.

'It was inherited from your dead mother, and the ownership is mine. My father does not know about the house either. If you don't mind, I can lend it to you guys.

What about the rent?

As long as you take good care of it, fine.

Thanks. Good job.

Now you can get a place to live. It's true that I can't stay in exile forever.

But even in the original world, there was no place to live comfortably.

Next, do you know of a route to deal with the Blessed Armor in the background?

'Blessed Armor'?

This one's.

I pointed to the Tanaka-Coga.

With my foot.

'He's still likely to do the same thing if we leave him alone, so we'd better disarm him, wouldn't we?　But it's a waste to throw away equipment, and I'm willing to pay half as much as Leticia, including the fee, can't we sell it and cash it in?

...... Well, there isn't any.

Can you handle it?

Yes, but not for me. Just not for me. Half of it's for Aine.

Leticia looked at Aine, who was leaning back in her chair and sleeping.

''She was worried about the members of the 'Commoner's Guild' until the very end. He said he wanted to give them funds to help them all leave the town and start a new life. I'll use my commission for that.

...... fee of 70% is fine.

You're very kind.

''I just don't want to owe you anything. I'm also a member of the 'Common People's Guild', for one thing.

It's too dangerous to sell 'Blessed Armor' to us, who don't have any routes anyway.

''Finally, I want you to wait until tomorrow around noon to formally accept the request.

Aine's memories evaporate over time. ......

Laetitia said, sounding frustrated.

'That's the kind of item the deputy bishop used, I'm told. The time limit is three days. If we don't get it back by then, Aine's memories will be completely erased.''

'I'll make it. Before that, I have to check the skills of my companions and I to see if we can complete this quest. Even though I took the trouble to lead you to the tower, you couldn't defeat the Steel Gargoyle, right?

That's for sure.

'We can't afford to sacrifice our own people either. We'll officially 'sign' the contract tomorrow at noon.

...... Who are you people?

Letitia said.

'You're not just a low-level adventurer, are you?

We're the ones who 'do nothing and play to the heavens'.

I said.

You can't do much at a low level,” I said. But when the pieces of the puzzle fit together, there are things you can do that others can't. That's all.

...... I don't know what that means.

It's okay, I don't know what's going on.

Well, I must get back to the inn, give Cecil a rest, and then I will tell you both what to do.

Well, good luck with that, employers.

And with a wave of your hand, we left the building of the commoners' guild.
