111 Episode 111 "Stress Relief of Angry Saints and Hydra Repulsion Plan".txt (2/2)

I don't have time for this. And I don't like noblemen and pompous adventurers.

”You're a good guy. You have a lot of luck, Delilira.

I do.

”'...........................' ...

Me and the saintly lady (the bird-shaped golem with the saint in it) kind of looked at each other.

'Hydra is ...... attacking you when you make a big fuss. Saintess-sama.

'Yes, boy. Are you very sensitive to the sound of magic popping?

It's kind of like having a trench raided.

'You were angry enough to run down from the mountaintop. And the Hydra.

They didn't get away with it?

”The nobleman and the leader of the party were shouting. ”This is where we put our foot down. If anyone else gets to the labyrinth, we'll have a liability issue! '

The treasure is gone, isn't it?

”You've got it.

I've explained that to you, haven't I?

”All I've got is a gold coin! You can have it, just go home!　I said,

But you didn't listen to me: ......

'It was a storm of fire, stone bombs and explosive magic. ......

So what's going on?

”A wizard who has escaped and been swallowed by the Hydra?

...... ”...... 'The Hound of the Dawn' is a terrific party, isn't it?　You couldn't even beat those guys?

'It took a lot of magic to block the entrance to the labyrinth. ......

I can't help it. ......

”I can't help it.” ......

”'............ ha!'

Me and the Saintess (bird-shaped golem) sighed together.

I wonder why both the nobles and the 'Hound of Dawn' are doing something unnecessary.

The entrance to the labyrinth was originally disguised in such a way that it couldn't be recognized, so why don't they just leave it alone?

''Delilira-san is also responsible for this matter.''

The golem saint said.

'That's why I'm sending the work golems towards us. It'll at least slow them down.'

If those guys hadn't blocked the exit, we could have moved much faster,'' the saint added.

''I want you guys to evacuate the townspeople in the meantime.

Evacuation, sir?

'I'm not sure Hydra will be able to get past the town walls, though. Just in case.'

The size of the rocky mountain hydra is about ten or more meters tall.

As a snake-shaped creature, it is said to be vindictive.

Since the Viscountess and the Hounds of the Dawn have escaped to this town, Hydra should be able to follow them.

It was the saint's hope that the damage would be as minimal as possible.

It's funny, isn't it?

There was no information about Hydra in the town at all. The Viscountess Edengle and the survivors of The Hound of Dawn should have returned to town by now.

Don't tell me those ...... guys are still plotting something?

'I really want you guys to be the first to get away, sorry to bother you. ......

Hydra...... multi-headed dragon.

Its regenerative abilities are strong, but it doesn't spit breath. A giant beast that specializes in close combat.

To defeat it, you just have to put its head together and blow it off .......

”Saintess.

”Yes, boy.

'I trust you, Lady Saint. Can you keep our skills and stuff like that a secret?

That's a stupid question. You're novice adventurers, aren't you?

The holy woman inhabiting the little bird-shaped golem clicked her beak.

''And that little girl is just a dark elf. Isn't that all there is to it?''

Thank you. Well, I have a proposition for you. Maybe we can take down Hydra.

I talked about 'Compression Magic' using 'Holy Wand Noel Root'.

I've been talking about layering and strengthening magic.

And the durability of the wand.

It's probably because of the saturation of the compressed heat. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the magic and the flames converge too much in one spot, and that's why it's a heat ray. I see, I didn't know that the Noel Root had such a use.''

But the wand was unusually hot.

'Neuerut is just about scaling magic. 'Compression magic' is not what we're expecting. It would be nice if we could adjust the magic so that it could be fired or called out in a stable manner. ...... Is there anyone in this era who can do that kind of thing ......?'

I see.

So I can just ”steady” or ”fire” or ”call” the scaled down magic?

And in order to defeat Hydra, you need to blow its head off entirely.

The only thing that can do that is Cecil's 'Ancient Language Magic'.

However, 'Ancient Language, Fireball (Fireball)' ends after one shot.

Let's think of a way to defeat it for sure.

My dear saint. How much time do we have before the hydra comes to town?

Two, maybe three hours.

Is it difficult to evacuate everyone in town?

In fact, we don't have the authority to do it. Even if we said, ”Hydra is coming!”, I'm not sure if they would believe us.

By the way, you're mad at the saint ......

What do you mean by that?　The Boy

With a bang, the little bird-shaped golem banged on the bedpost.

'That's not surprising!　Mr. Delilira was duly noted!　I warned you!　The labyrinth is a serious battleground for adventurers!　If you didn't get what you wanted, then you can train and come back.

And that, that!　C'mon!　How dare you use magic to destroy the entrance to prevent others from entering!　And that's how you get a demon to come and run away... Moooo!　It can't be!

For the first time in a long time, Delilira-san is furious!''

You're seriously angry .......

She is ...... a saint who kept saving people, even though it was her job.

It's a good thing that the nobleman inadvertently provoked the demons to come to town because they failed to capture her labyrinth.

I understand that the saint is angry. Why don't you tell her that directly?

What the nobles did, and the fact that Hydra was attacked.

I'll need your authority to tell them, Your Highness.

I'm here to relieve you of your stress.

She's a good person, you know. She's willing to warn us of the danger.

We're here to experiment with compression magic and...

I'm getting good and pissed off, so let's get you to help me destroy a nobleman socially.

'So, Rita, where were we, where were we?

...... wow!

I heard Rita's voice on the other side of the door.

Well, you'd notice that, wouldn't you? If it's Rita's specs.

The saint (bird-shaped golem) was banging on the window, and we were talking loudly.

...... Oh, you know what? Nagi. I was worried about ...... that...

I'm not mad at you. Thanks.

...... compliments.

Okay, Rita. I'm sorry, but go get Cecil, Iris, and Raphilia. Hurry up and 'rebuild' your skills to get through this situation. Rita, in the meantime, explain the situation to Aine and Reggie.

Okay, okay.

A hint of Rita nodding through the door. Good, honest.

”Tell Aine. Ask her what she looks like when she tells you about the legend of Delilira. When you've done that, I want you to tell that merchant, Mr. Dolgor, that they're coming to Hydra and that they're expecting an attack on the city, minus the holy woman.

Yes, of course, Master!

Rita's voice trails off.

'What are you going to do?　The Boy

I have two purposes, Your Highness. The first is to force the nobles to take responsibility for this incident. The second is to let the people know that by defeating Hydra, there is someone who can stand against the king and the nobles.

I was thinking that getting the dragons to side with us would be a deterrent to the black guys.

But that might take some time too.

If that's the case, let's pretend that the dragon is ”on” people's side and make it an invisible deterrent.

'...... White. Can you help me?

I put my face close to the 'Tenryu's Bracelet'.

''Yes, Otosan.''

Do you have the magic to do battle?

'Of course!　I thought I'd leave it to White, for the sake of my dad!

That's good.

At least it will buy the townspeople time to evacuate.

''Well then, I'm sorry. The saint will need your help.

”Hmmm, what can I do?

Just talk like a normal person in public.

I said to the little golem that came on my shoulder.

'I want you to use your authority to order people around. Be as gracious as possible.
