V4C105 (2/2)
… This again.
The reward is way too biased.
Well, it’s better compared to them.
“Uwa, it’s a scourer.”
“Why only us.”
Julio and Sutchino got scourers. Ah, I don’t want to be like them.
“A fountain pen that does not require ink … Goddess-sama, thank you.”
Milky looked like she was satisfied.
“Look Elise! It’s a new sword!”
“Congrats Jofre! Ah, I got the 「Cat Gather」 skill!”
“「Cat Gather」 huh! Congrats Elise!”
“Thank you Jofre!”
It seems like those two would be delighted no matter what they receive.
For Centaur … I don’t know what it received. To begin with, I don’t even know if it is possible for it to receive anything.
Lastly, Haru.
” … Haru?”
I tried waving my hands in front of her.
There was no reaction.
She had fainted while standing after coming face to face with the Goddess-sama she believes in.

“Ichino-sama, I hope he is safe.”
In the skies above the labyrinth, Carol said like she was praying while riding on top of the Wyvern.
“Ichino is an individual who possesses great blessings bestowed by two Goddesses from among the six Goddesses. Even if he encounters the Dark God’s Apostle, he would not be so easily injured and there’s no way he would be invited to the fields Valhalla.”
” … Marina-san really speaks in words I can’t really understand the more uneasy you are.”
Carol saw through Marina’s chuunibyou-like speech as a means to dispel her own unease.
At that moment.
The moonlight suddenly disappeared.
One might think that clouds had covered the mood but that was not the case.
Much further above the altitude of about 100 meters where the Wyvern was gliding at, an enormous creature was flying in the sky.
With only the belly and wings visible and the color was also not visible due to the dark night but it seemed like Carol realized its identity.
“That is … no way.”
“My sealed power has called out, and that huge dragon appeared as if to respond to it. That might be ― ”
“No, that’s wrong Marina-san. That is probably the Dragon King.”
“Dragon King? If it’s the Dragon King, then Arefga ―” (TL: It’s a reference to the continent of the game Dragon Quest.)
“The Dragon King is the sworn friend of the Hero Alessio‧Magnal as well as the legendary creature that fought with the Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei … I’ve only read about it in books but I’m sure of it. It looks exactly like the legends.”
Looking at the direction the enormous shadow was heading, I was relieved.
That was the direction towards Ferruit.
It’s likely ―

“You requested for reinforcements from the Hero Alessio?”
While I carried the unconscious Haru on my back, we returned to the path we came from.
Even though the source of the monsters has been removed, it doesn’t mean that the monsters that have spawned would disappear.
When I thought that we must quickly return to Ferruit’s defense, Suzuki told me of the presence of unexpected troops lying in wait.
“Yeah, I told her we would manage somehow with the labyrinth. Since Schreyl can also use the abilities of a Magic Journalist, she requested for reinforcements using the talisman for communications. We received a familiar carrier pigeon from Hack-sama saying that he/they would be rushing over tonight. So, I’m sure by now ―”
Suzuki said with a wry grin.
“He’s probably showing off triumphantly going I’m stronkkkk?”
