Episode 12 Lovely Princess Descent
“…He died”
Tengai informed me about that fact with a monotonous tone
“Yes, that’s true Oh, Joey, you were showing off until the bitter end… you haveoff You’re a small fry like all the others, and now you kno it turns out when you try to act cool-”
I spontaneously spilled ai and I are looking at the same person
“Tengai, you unexpectedly care about Joey huh?”
“…It’s not like I care about hi, it’s just that I happened to see him after that foul mouth had been with the princess for several days”
Uwaah, what’s with this tsundere?!
“Be that as it may, it appears the battle has started to favor the monster’s side”
“Yes, it has”
It can be said the human side is almost routed
Around the headquarters, elite adventurers and the ar them at a staleet surrounded, that will be the end
The way I see it, I can now roughly understand the strength of hu adventurers and monsters in this land (If this was Eternal Horizon Online, at best they would be at the strength of the monsters at the second town area where players arrived after they finished the tutorial)
There were alht…
But why is it that, inside ofof mist?
I don’t think it’s that I want to help huinally a human
In the first place, my impression of the monsters that I have met ever since I resurrected here was that their behaviors are all sis, if I leave out their brutish appearances There’s no need for uish them
That is like one having a height of 3s in its7 ar them for a bit ―By the way, the ti froht, I made a soundless scream “~~~~~~?!?” I think I would have coot to the bathroorieve, and they show their actions, the like of which humans keep a secret since they tie it very to profit and loss The monsters are very honest, and I like that
Therefore the scene below, fora war in a distant country
…However, so me not fully satisfied
“By the way princess, it’s just my personal opinion but―”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“Is that fine with you, not bringing the monsters in this land as followers of our ‘Imperial Crimson’?”
Hearing those words, the hazy mist in my chest burst open
“―Now that youbut assert one side, not asserting the other side would be unfair right? Good work for pointing that out Then, Tengai, could you send a2-3 helpers from the castle?”
“Affirmative”
And then, I again glance at the small corpse which lies down at the corner of the battlefield
“…And I still haven’t handed you your quest reward either”
It can be said that the battle outcome was already decided
In front of the injured people ere being carried one by one, Gald was fretting about what he was going to do Should he retreat froainst the ogre king who hadn’t yet released his entire battle strength?
“Vice Guild Leader Gald!”
The call which contained a bit of panic from his subordinate could be heard there
“Mia? You’re still in a place like this!? Shouldn’t you take the injured and quickly take refuge behind here!?”
“Umm… Joey-kun is Joey-kun is not with the injured people, did he coh here?!”
In a desperate state, she grabs Gald’s chest, even so Gald shakes his head
“No, after he went to the front lines, I never saw him”
“Is…that so”
That alone htly bit her lips Suddenly a person ca on his co it was really him
“Guild Leader! You were safe!!?”
Gald also beca that; he rushed over to that person, Collard
“Ou, you made it out alive!”
“…Yeah, thanks to my devil’s luck”
Nonetheless, his ical poas used up completely, and he was unable to walk from total exhaustion
“Still, you cauild leader and withdraw behind here Guild Leader, sorry, but when you have regained a bit of your strength, please take over command for me”
“You…what are you going to do?”
“Well, though I kno far I can go, I shall help out with the last struggle in vain”
“…”
In contrast with Gald who grinning fiercely, Collard along with Mia realized theof his words and downcast their eyes in silence
Then―
“W-what is that…!?!”
“…An Ancient Dragon?!”
