Vol 3 Chapter 141 (1/2)

Chapter 141

I approached as close to the formation as I could, as my nerves wore down

Advancing through the West Petra great forest that divides the nation’s borders, I position myself in a place where I can use clairvoyance to confirhold built at the base of the Arakabe mountain that continues into the commonwealth

For troops to pass through here, there’s an unavoidable need to utilize the lone highway piercing the great forest

Passing through anywhere else is harsh, it’s a rough section of nature

In turn, the fatigue would be considerable if a forced h

This feat is possible precisely because this is iment

「Everyone, good work」

「Captain as well」

「Nn, thanks」

I’m handed dried meat so, I bite into it

As the border fort is, constructed with a structure designed to seal that path, this place has functioned as the absolute line dividing both countries since ancient times

And as such, the principality that held back the co in a difficult battle

「There is also soup!」

「I’ll have」

The vice-captain, was distributing rations to everyone while see happy

Even though she’s the vice-captain, she’s like a maid-san

Nn?

They’re all normally, maids?

「Is there enough?」

「One sto work」

「It’s totally not enough is it!」

「Nn, I’ll sponge off master, when I return」

Even in noro on by throwing food away

The unit’s children, all have empty stomachs

To thethe children of the church, what’s called causing everyone to hunger is the thing I most can’t tolerate

「Everyone’s status is?」

「Everyone is bri with vitality, do not worry!」

That will come to be relied on

It’s gone smoothly up until now

There are searchers using ic and pri with clairvoyance and these children’s attentiveness

I gaze at the narrow cliff span that’s our objective

The child who’s the vice-captain followed that gaze and, sed her breath

「……The fort, is incredibly close……isn’t it」

It certainly does make you nervous

There will be no support from our allies if an uproar happens and, enemy reinforcements will come quickly

「If it isn’t a span of that degree then, they’ll be able to pass even if it collapsesSorry, I’ve had you accoerous mission」

「No no no!」

「After this is……I believe ill encounter enemies even if we’re careful」

「……」

「I’ll ask one more time but――――do you have the resolve?」

I purposefully, ask coldly as if shooting it toward her

「……If we thought fighting was impossible, ould have been circulated to a rear support o around asking each of us in turnAre you not putting on a strong front, is it not because you’re afraid of being spoken poorly of, while guiding us with real kindness」

Everyone of the unit is nodding

「But originally, ere raised to be used and discarded as combat slaves, ere children without a place to beSlandered, rebuked, scorned……the one who deigned to employ that without discrimination, in a place where the sun reaches, was ojousamaOjousama and the head maid are, always asked to take on er but, what about, ojousama herself……? Doesn’t she always, seem to come close to death!?」

Perhaps she was excited, she was crying a little

「I don’t want to be, luggage……We, want to serve a purpose for ojousama!」

That deter of the sort that other people could find fault in

「That so……」

What, they’re just like me

They shouldn’t, stop

「Inspect our equip」

「Hai, captain!」

Everyone did a powerful salute

◇■◇■◇

Put fire crystals in and blast it to seal the highway――there’s nothing but to create a landslide

To start with until we arrive there, ht

To confuse the eyes of countless ene except to fade into the darkness

It’s not siraphy

「Waa」

「Be careful」

「Ha, hai」

We cli step could send you plu for air

The sound of wind, the sound of trees rubbing against eachother, the movements of animals, all of that shaves away nerves and stamina

We won’t survive if we’re found, each of us has our spirit deteriorate under that sort of pressure

We’vepoint

Having entered the entrance, the terror when advancing through endless darkness, must not cause such as paralysis

Even if you beco people, you won’t beco killed

Because the act of being killed, only happens once

There’s no way to get used to it

「……It’s a convenient thing though」

Having done the work of an assassin, do I have the sort of personality that feels terror

I strainthe woodland mountain within deep darkness

What strikesvoice

The cliff wall that I had confirht there

――Let’s go

I give the signal, to everyone fro after me from behind

I assume they’re totally exhausted but, everyone advances forward fro a sound

This night has a crescent moon

I hide ht

My wish is, I want to co

「……」

The squad setting the fire crystals in the cliff and, the squad conducting the s split up

Only time moves forward, due to the unfamiliar terrain, of an unseen landscape

The work is taking tiets impatience and, becomes yet slower

Without scattering them about, we have to set the necessary a their proper positioning

Our salvation is, the fact that the torchlight that see toward us

It’s alright, even if they come to ascend our cliff now, the ill have room to spare――――

「Ufufuu, ahahahahaa! Fou～～nd you, who ht be, the child that’s up to mischief?」

――I messed up!!

The voice is directly above me――――from the sky!

「……Ill natured elf!」

Blond hair lit under the o that directs her irritation toward people, her eyes dyed with the color or insanity

There should be no mistake

「Wha～t, Alice isn’t here then? Nn～～? That deroup with an uncouth dwarf and, a dirty beastman is it?」

She has an accurate grasp, on our side……

It’s the same as master’s……an elf’s eyes!

This is rather……bad

It’s not the case that eren’tas above us, but……this person, suddenly appeared

「Fuun? You’re rather few in number arren’t you? Even if you’re used in huh but……ufu! Well I assume it’s fineBecause it’s a bother to use allies isn’t it? In various ways」

「It’s our first ti directly but……trash」

Her head is broken

More i, what to do?

If I don’t become calm……this is, the boundary between life and death

「Those who go beyond the era are, not understood……Haa, I wanted Alice diidn’t I」

「……You’re saying such a thing but, surely you came out because master wasn’t here? You’re, afraid」

「――Ha?」

The elf’s face perceived with clairvoyance was, distorted

「You were terrified right? ……Of, master’s shi+shou」

「……」

「You’re free, to rae in that sense of o down on the strongest is, unacceptableIt isn’t a cheap titleBut I think you know that firsthand?」

「A blockhead dwarf……as if you know!」

Magic systeht sky

Summon……

That number is, easily 3 times our number

The chiainst at Wilside master

「Nee dwarf? It really would be better for so deep in a cave, getting agitated, aren’t you a ridiculous race to haveyour life workAra, on that note? You’re someone who’s often with that red de, perhaps she could be used as a prostitute or the like?」

It’s a fact that dwarfs spend day and night hunting demons

There are circumstances

As such, there was a sense of unease while being with that person――at first

「……Certainly, that person is a short teh but……」

I turned my eye, to my vice-captain

She moved her head and, I confirm that forceful nod

At this point, there’s no doubt

The strong gazes of everyone in the unit are, supporting me from behind

「To a level that soood person」

I quickly, release an arrow

I suppressed unnecessary movement to the lower limit but, a chimera flew in front of Carmel and covered her

The chimera that had an arrow splatter its stomach as it stabbed into it falls from the sky

「How pitiable, quite the barbarian? To do so so sudden」

「Well said, while using life as a shi+eld so easily」

「Captain!!」

Okay, preparations, complete!

「――Retreat!」

「Acknowledged!! Everyone, retreat! Cover one another, whilethe formation!」

Everyone of the unit really is agile, adroit, they began the retreat without waste

These children, I’ll recoet back

「Ahaa? There’s no way you’re escaping right? You, shi+tbags!」

Ah, she snapped

Even though so a『hunt』

For the type that formulates schemes, she’s of the direct mold

「Nshouto」

I continuously release, covering arrows

Go rout the chi to encircle the unit

Even so to the extent of their overwhelardless of what is done

They’re gradually encircling us

「――Ojousama’s 3rd unit, please don’t look down on it!」

The vice-captain’s weapon is, a staff

The weapon of 6 shaku froantly, handled like a part of her body

There’s no blade but, even boulders would break if hit so, it’s a fine weapon that can be used freely without chipping its blade

That girl goes and adds one blow upon another to the chimera

Speed, strength, her staff technique’s quantity of experience, all of them are at a level that opens the eyes

It’s not just that girl,

girl, the children of the unit use ether with their various fortes

They’ve become reliable!

In that case――

「Would you kindly not get conceited? I’ll offer a display of, alcheic! ――Gate of order that connects to the other world’s sky, bear truth and do not breakRain down logic here in this place――――Arrow Rain!」

「!?」

――This ic!

「Scatter!!」

shi+ning spears clouded with a gray color, pour down from the sky

Should, I assume the rain should be avoided?

Such a superhuman feat, is impossible, if it’s not shi+on

「Kuuu」

Guardbut to rely on luck for the rest

My shoulder, ate one hit

Rather than saying it hurt, it’s a burning sensation of the sort that made me want to scream

I also hear the groaning voices, co from everyone in the unit

「……Losses, are?」

I don’t want to look, at my own shoulder

It’ll just lower my spirit so, later is fine

More i is it, that there’s no response from the vice-captain who should have been nearby?

「Nee――」

I turn around and, my throat froze up

The factor called, luck, is always present

It’s fine to say that vice-captain’s actual ability, is number 1 in this unit

But『it just so happened』that, an attack with『no way to avoid it』ca a nearby child――――her chest was pierced

「Ahaa, ahahahahahahahaa! That face, it’s great! It’s finally, gotten fun hasn’t it? Creeping like a caterpillar suites youNow then? Chiood okay? Because they’ll be used as experi forward to it……」

The freak raising a voice with elation, doesn’t matter

The chi down on us as well

Currently――

「――Me, to cover me……Aaah!」

The youngest child of the unit, turned pale while e the vice-captain

……I, see

Truly, the children of master’s place are……benevolent master and servant alike……

Concentrate

Since long ago, my concentration has been more impressive than anyone’s

In battle, in judging the situation, concentrate on calculating the steps forward from here――

Whether chimeras or Carmel, their disposition is twisted so, they won’t come and deliver an attack all at once

………………

「――Team leader, present? Safe?」

「Ha, haii! I aht!」

The unit’s, next child in rank

「Losses are?」

「……In, light injuries 6 names! He, heavy injuries 1 name, others 4 names, no losses!」

「Children who can use Heal?」

「It, it’s, me!」

The child who embraced the vice-captain, squeezed her voice out while tre

「Breath is……?」

「Ah, eh――Aah! It’s there!!」

Perhaps she didn’t confirhter

To begin with――it wasn’t such a situation either

「Fall back into the forest, while applying Heal with your full power」

「Ha, hai! Take formation, so as to protect the injured!」

The teahtens

Using Heal on that injury, it’s difficult but……I want her to be saved

「Discussion ovver? It’s about ti time?」

A twisted sh for her mouth to rip her cheeks open

Tor and fun and it can’t be helped, that sort of face

Starting with master, there’s no mistake that elves are a beautiful race

But, that’s no good

It’s broken

What is done, to make people that distorted

Environment?

No, I also――it’s not the case that I slept in a warh food to fill my stomach and, received my parent’s love

The one who bent to her environment was, me myself
