133 129 条件次第で動くときは動く、たとえそれが不満な出来事であっても (2/2)

I'm aware that I'm acting in a manner that can't help but be called that.

But something inside me is whispering to me that something irreversible is going to happen if I stay here.

?　I've found another party. They're coming our way. But this movement is running away from ...... something? It seems pretty confusing too,

”What is it?　You think something pretty bad is on the way?

”Yes, I suppose so. I'm a little far from that party, but I also feel a twisted force. That's why the spirits are buzzing. Jiro's right, maybe we should take a break from this place.

The genie that Meitte had flown in to warn the surrounding area seems to have found the reaction of the party inside the dungeon.

If they can get down this far, they must have a reasonable amount of power.

But if such a party is escaping, do dragons live here?

The nightmare sheep also noticed the sound of battle, and both the male, who was grazing, and the female, who was lounging around, turned their heads in that direction at once.

That's because the sound of battle could be heard so clearly.

If I didn't have a bad premonition, I would have had the chance to take the opportunity to surprise them with a surprise attack, but the movement of the nightmare sheepskin itself only confirmed my bad premonition.

”I'm going to pull. You understand?

”......

”Oh.

”Mr. Myitt?

Quick decisions and quick actions.

That's what kept me alive.

I quickly surrendered and tried to move away, but as if she sensed something, she didn't answer, her eyes were fixed on the sound of battle.

You're okay!　Hey, get a grip!

”What are you doing?　There's a flock of nightmare sheep up ahead!

I know!　He won't attack a monster, but he'll be a wall!　Anyway, just think of getting away now!　I'm sure he won't be able to follow me across the levels!

”I know, but!　My genie is not going to last much longer!　If that happens, we won't even have a shield now!

We completely missed the timing of our escape, but I could see why Mr. Mightt couldn't leave.

A party of dark elves jumped out of another passage opposite us.

For a moment we thought it was a man and woman duo, but the man's back is carried by another dark elf woman.

A green-furred dog the size of a lion, clad in crackling armor, can be seen running alongside the likely spirit of the man.

A raccoon-like spirit as big as a human, with a tail so wide and flat that it can hide itself, comes out of the room, followed by a human-sized raccoon-like spirit that seems to be blown away.

”Mars!

The blue-haired raccoon desperately tries to protect its master by intimidating its opponents.

But in reality, however, the threats seem to have no effect on the opponent.

Ignoring these threats, the raccoon once again strikes its body and its massive frame is blown apart again, sending it tumbling to the ground.

But it, too, does its best to get up and bare its fangs again.

It is covered in wounds, its magic flowing like blood, and is on the verge of disappearing.

The supposedly dark elf woman cried out in concern, but he had no time to reply.

Her proud tail is scratched and bruised, her claws are shattered, her fangs are unreachable, and her spirit's magic is one step short of running out of magic power.

Seeing this, the master is desperately chanting his magic and trying to heal the spirits, but he hasn't recovered in time.

All is nowhere to be found.

It's clear that they are outnumbered and if they continue, they will be wiped out.

I saw the look on Myitt's face as he watched the scene.

...... Mr. Gray, will you listen to my stepson's selfishness?

If you meet a ...... vampire, let's hear it if you do the same thing.

”Yes, I promise.

It may not sound like a decision, but I was able to easily decide on a course of action when I saw it.

Even if you know it's a problem, once the conditions are met, there are people who will work.

I don't know if they knew what I was going to do, but Mr. Gray agreed with a sigh and said it was inevitable.

If it was a beastman instead of a dark elf, I would have backed away without a second thought.

If I hadn't wanted to marry Suela, I would have withdrawn without a second thought.

If only, I would have made a list of conditions, but I had already decided to help them.

”Mr. Mytt.

”Jiro-kun

”Help, sir. I will drive the nightmare group away now and lead them over here. And Miss Myitt, you will cure them.

Sorry.

Suela tells me. Dark elves are so devoted to their fellow man that they would not abandon him if their lives were in danger. So why would I, who is going to join your clan, ignore it?

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to be able to decide with a bitter smile?

I'm glad that I've learned to make decisions like this, but it makes me a little sad to think that I've become prone to getting into trouble.

Mr. Grey, I need your help to protect them.

Mm, I'll be there as soon as I'm done. Don't push yourself.

”We will do our best.

Unlike the company, you can't transform into a magical body here.

Just like Isreal, if you take a life, that's it.

Taking on a powerful enemy means risking your life.

Knowing this, and with the determination to survive, I press the switch of battle inside me with a crisp click.

Asking Myitt to heal them and leaving Gray to guard me, I turn into a storm.

In one fell swoop, I'm in top gear, and first of all, I attack the nightmare sheep in a surprise attack to secure the passage.

Originally, I would have taken it easy by killing it without shedding blood to secure the wool, but that was no longer necessary.

You're going to be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your newborn baby.

I'll use everything within the reach of the mineral tree to mass-produce the corpses of Nightmare Soup.

”Wha-what?　Coming over here?

”Another party?　Run!

”Run away to the other side, buy time.

The nightmare soup would be exposed to an attack from the opposite direction, which I had warned against.

Some of them reacted, but by the time they were fully responsive, I had reached the dark elf's party, but they didn't stop, they just said a few words as they passed by.

”A human!　Why are we here?

”Wow, I don't know. Maybe he's a battle slave. Look, there's a dark elf out there!

”My people helped you!　Helpful.

They passed each other with the minimum amount of conversation and stopped at the end of the passage.

I didn't have time to be relieved that I could hear the conversation behind me and that they were safely on their way to Ms. Meitte's side, but I was relieved that my goal was accomplished for now.

Well, what do we do now?

I knew there was something beyond the darkness.

The other party, without a shred of enjoyment, appeared with some kind of chain.

Ha! I know it's a fantasy, but I honestly didn't want to fight.

I snorted and laughed to myself, but honestly, I felt like bemoaning my lack of luck.

Her entire body is wrapped in restraints, two of her three pairs of wings are sealed, and her arms are chained with iron balls on either side.

From the bulge of her breasts, you can tell that she is a woman, but her face is covered by some kind of hideous mask that makes it impossible to see her face.

I knew there was a demon, so I knew it was there, but I didn't expect to see it like this.

”Can't we resolve this through conversation if possible?　”It's an 'angel'.

A being who was supposed to be opposed to the demon king's army, the chalk-winged angel of God.

I wasn't expecting to be able to converse with him through my mask, of course.

My words, just to lighten my mood, were ignored as expected.

The angel said nothing, and without reason, lunged at me.

I greet it, pointing my blade at it while somehow guessing that this angel is a songstress.
