c8 (2/2)

I don’t have enough strength huh

Even if I were to lose the divine protection, in this world I have the strength to have never lost against a s aren’t monsters, but humans

There’s also the recovery of the sacred sword, and to save the fairies it’s been decided that I have to go the city I guess

I stopped that line of thought, and closed my eyes

Since Astrea was busy nursing Allele, I was able to easily fall asleep without any hindrance

『We’ve got a proble here really fast!』 (Astrea)

While I was in a shallow state of sleep, a loud voice had awoken me

I thought I would be able to rest easy, but I’ain

(What kind of danger? How long until it reaches the town?) (Astrea)

Getting up fro the sword that was leaning on the wall overmy belt, I opened theand looked outside

It was still night Though there were sht coweapons It was likely the local lord’s personal ar about

It see really serious

『Anyways there’s soer than an S rank erous as the demon lord! It’ll be here in two minutes!』 (Astrea)

(Around the sa like that in this world?) (Izayoi)

If so were to attack, the ten adventurers and private ar If they were at the King class level, which equaled the strength of a hundred men, even if they were in perfect condition they wouldn’t be able to hold for even a few seconds I’th of the people, but they’ll absolutely be annihilated in an instant

Opening the , I juate

『But there’s soerous Izayoi! The enemies have suddenly increased!』 (Astrea)

(Suddenly increased? Can you determine who they are?) (Izayoi)

『I tried but it’s i! There hasn’t been anyone capable of doing this!』 (Astrea)

Since they have the power of a demon lord, Astrea’s power has been nullified

A dark spirit

As I thought that, it ht have been better for them to evacuate

Arriving at the northern gate, the ten people carrying weapons and the local lord Alfred were surprised They haven’t decided what to do yet have they?

I pushed h the soldiers and made it to the local lord

「I-Izayoi! What a disaster The defendingtowards the town and assembled a force to intercept it」 (Alfred)

Though they seemed to be confused by the sudden attack, they didn’t seem to knohat the attacker was

Preparations to counterattack, is it

「It’s impossible The opponent is a Demon Lord ranked monster Send your soldiers to shelter the nearby citizens」 (Izayoi)

「Demon Lord rank!? Is that really true?」 (Alfred)

The soldiers became restless at my declaration

「Yeah it’s true There’s no more time I’ll hold it off In the meantime, evacuate the citizens」 (Izayoi)

Carrying on, I headed towards the gate and was strongly grabbed fro my head, in front of my eyes was an armored man who carried a severe expression

「Oi, let o――」 (Izayoi)

「―― You bastard, are you planning to die out there alone?!」 (Bernando)

This voice, this face, is this guy Bernando?

The guy yelling at row Wyvern attacked this area, he was the private ar to fight the Wyvern, he had yelled out to stop me

「I heard everything from Alfred-sama I heard you were a capable person introduced by Aaron-saster like you doesn’t have to put his life on the line to protect people he doesn’t have any relation with Even more so if this is a Demon Lord rank enemy It is our duty to protect the citizens Go and leave」 (Bernando)

Bernando’s serious look He had a high areat caution You haven’t changed, have you I shook off the arh the crevice in his armor in return

「Don’t screithin this town are beneath me I, who have no relation to this place think only of my own life I care about my life the most and don’t want to hear some speech about it」 (Izayoi)

「But!」 (Bernando)

「Shut up」 (Izayoi)

Bernando’s level of pride was troublesoue he will object

In that case, I don’t have a choice but to be high handed

The strength of an to dent Bernando’s arth until I could pull Bernando, I stared at him with nerve and spoke in a very low voice

「If you want to protect them, if you want to save them, hurry up and move

I’ my mind」 (Izayoi)

I pushed Bernando away He fell towards and was caught by his crowd of subordinates

「In case there’s aany of this for anyone at all」 (Izayoi)

Turning my back, I continued to outside where my opponent was Bernando raised his voice

「Evacuate the citizens! Rinzel, Joel, and Andrew, come with me! We need to buy time for the evacuation!」 (Bernando)

「「「Understood!」」」 (Rinzel, Joel, Andrew)

The soldiers asse their way inside the town

「Apart froe of the streets, it’s i with You have a problem with that?」 (Bernando)

That’s the most you’ll concede? Well, that’s fine then

「I’ht? In that case, you don’t need ree hat you want to do」 (Izayoi)

「That’s how it is, isn’t it ――The residents of this town, I will protect them!」 (Bernando)
