68 Episode 67: Lars' Request (1/2)
”Please! Please lend me the power of Sora!”
In front of Ishka's home.
Lars looked at my face and shouted, bowing deeply without staring.
The person sitting on the wall bows down, so it is prostrate from the side.
I was confused by the sudden.
Frankly, there's no reason to listen to Lars' request. However, this was the first time I had seen Lars so weak that I was interested in what happened.
Speaking of interest, I also care why Lars is alone.
Ilia is probably missing because Merte has not returned yet. But why is there no other Miroslav figure?
Invited I put Lars back home to hear about that.
Dust The house was quite sullied because I had been away for a while, but Lars didn't care about that, and he was afraid to repeat his words.
The situation that came to light after hearing the situation from Lars was as follows.
Lars and Miroslav, and three extraordinary adventurers. The five parties went to Skim Mountain after I headed to Merte Village.
When I was meeting with Priest Sarah over there, the Lars were climbing hills.
The purpose is extermination of griffon. The client is the Earl House.
Well, I knew this situation without hearing from Lars. He had previously received a report from Miroslav.
The question is what happened to the Lars who headed for Mount Skim with five of them.
――In conclusion, Lars arrived at Skim Mountain and turned back near the griffon habitat.
The cause was Lars' injury.
It seemed that someone had a surprise attack while watching the night with Miroslav.
Lars woke up without any trauma, but suffered a tremendous loss of strength and wasn't ready to fight.
Cave Skim is a monster lining the forest of Titis. Perhaps you have received the ”” of an undead monster wandering in the mountains-well, not limited to the undead, but you can do the same with other demons or even human magic.
At any rate, Lars realizes that he is stunned.
In part, he lost his ability to fight the griffon, but more than that, he knew he was already on a carriage returning down the mountain and back to Ishka.
While Lars lost consciousness, the other members once ran down Lars and returned to Ishka--except for Miroslav, who remained alone on Skim Mountain.
I frowned reflexively.
When she saw it, she thought she was ”blamed” and opened her mouth as if biting.
”I told you to go back soon! But ...”
Lars, who became cool, immediately made a sinking look.
The three new members did not follow leader Lars.
It seems that they were more like Miroslav's recruiter than the new members of Hayabusa's Sword, hired to defeat Griffon.
They prioritized the orders of Miroslav, the de facto employer, rather than Lars, the formal leader. In other words, a command to ”protect Lars and return to Ishka.”
Lars was given a letter from them.
”This is the letter ...”
That's one sheet of paper from Lars.
There were words in Miroslav's handwriting saying, ”I'm sorry for doing myself, I didn't want to endanger you when I fell down, and I wanted Griffon to stay at Ishka because I'm sure I'll stop.”
Lars, who read this, had no arrows or shields and tried to turn back alone, but this action was blocked by other members.
Upon receiving Miroslav's orders, the three men forced Lars to return to Skim Mountain to Ishka.
Lars, one-on-three and weak in strength, can't figure it out and is unexpectedly taken back to Ishka.
When they return to Ishka, the new members quickly disappear with a raging rars. The contract with Miroslav was until he returned to Ishka, and Lars had no idea what to do with them.
Of course, Lars immediately tried to return to Skim Mountain.
However, his physical condition has not yet recovered, and he will struggle with lesser demons who appear around Ishka. It was impossible to climb Skim again in such a situation.
Lars tried to find a companion to accompany, but there was no adventurer to raise his hand because the request for the reputed ”Falcon Sword” was requested, and the destination was the summit of Makai Skim Mountain.
He sought help from the guild, but his guild was heavy.
