Vol 4 Chapter 62 (2/2)
『It’s because uess there’s no helping it, given the environment』
While that was going on, Miranda-san wandered over
“What are you doing?”
She had a torapped around her neck, but she was properly wearing clothing underneath The reason for her rough attire was likely because Porter was blocking the entranceway
Her hair still seemed to be a little damp
With her disposition to tickle and tempt the male heart, I was unable to lift my eyes from her
The Fourth spoke
『This is it…』
The Fifth too
『She sure does resemble Milleia…』
The Sixth…
『This girl sure does get it』
The Seventh was…
『Hmm, completely different from that Aria』
I feltmildly flushed
Clara and Aria stared at me reproachfully But all I could think for noas…
(Why a to these sorts of conversations froardless, and I can’t turn it off)

The next day
Having gotten our preparations together, we descended the stairwell to the thirtieth floor
Novem asked
“It’s fine to have Shannon-chan on Porter, but I think it will be difficult to station them at the room’s entrance”
The passage that led to the boss room was quite wide, and it was impossible to block it up with Porter alone
Shannon ary of those pursuing us froive much peace of mind
“It will bethe boss”
After I said that, Poyopoyo stepped foreard
“Well then, I, Poyopoyo will protect the rear lines!”
I wasover whether to dispatch her in the boss battle She was too strong for et a sense of achievement
And before those feelings and all, we needed to knohether we had the ability to take on the boss ourselves For that sake, Poyopoyo had been put on support to now
“… Stay close to Porter, and protect Shannon I doubt it’ll happen, but if we are to lose, then take the survivingwith Shannon, and escape”
She shrugged her shoulders, and looked at me with some cynicism
“What is it?”
“No, if y source you call Mana will be cut, and I will cease function I’ll likely be able tothat tihts out of whoever killed ret the day they were born into this world”
As she said that overfloith confidence, Noveave a wry smile
“Uerous?”
“I-I’ hypothetical here I-it’s not like I want to see my chicken dickwad die either, you know!”
The Third spoke
『I’ to lose track of whether auto, or not』
The Fifth
『』To have such glaring flaws in a machine this elaborate, I’m not sure whether to praise or speak ill of the
And as a conversation like that carried out, we arrived at the boss room
I issued orders to everyone
“You’ve all ht?”
Ithe plan
“The front lines will have Aria and Miranda-sanaround to attract its attention I’ll take the center, and support you tithblow to Novem, and Clara, please operate Porter, and keep the room alit Shannon is on standby within Porter, and Poyopoyo will be guarding them”
After finishi+ng the checks, I went on to the h likelihood of intervening during the battle
“… There’s a possibility we’ll be assaulted by a third party during the battle Right after the fight as well If it happens during the battle, take up a forether In that case, I’ll be the one taking on our stalkers”
After the battle, ould remain wary of the entrance, and station Porter to make a wall, in case any attacks were to come
On ement, the Second seemed unsatisfied
『Well, if you think that’s fine, then have at it』
The Third spoke
『It’s Lyle’s decision, so let’s leave it at that Personally, I do see a probleh』
There’s no guarantee… that retreat would mean safety
We have much too little information on the enemy
The reason I put the boss as the priority was so I could use my ancestors’ Skills after that
(We have to swiftly take the boss out, and prepare for our pursuers That’s hoe’ll break through the present situation)
Based on Shannon’s testimony, they were still on our trail
… I declared to everyone
“Let’s go!”
We rushed forward, and Aria and Miranda-san ran in front of me
I could hear the footsteps of theof Porter’s wheels
Within the roo a cylinder
“I didn’t pay it re”
It had a large amount of exposed skin, but around the head and neck, and the abdomen was, not a jumble of parts like the other monsters, but what seemed to be an armor specially fitted to it
The thick rod in its hand was hollow, and seeing it, Poyopoyo spoke
“So it has a cannon, does it? … Equip it on porter for an instant power up”
On the other end of the pipe, it had a squarish bludgeon-like weapon stuck on It probably had it precisely because it’s an ogre, but I’d like to refrain fro hit by that one
I drew a sabre, and prepared ic in my left hand
In that time, Aria and Miranda-san positioned there’s attention
I chanted ic
“Fire Bullet!”
Numerousob of fire caht
There, Aria used a Skill to cut at it
Miranda-san tossed her daggers at the area around its knee joints
I couldn’t see its face through its helmet, but it raised a war cry, so it had likely flown into a rage I looked behind
(Novem hasn’t finished her preparations yet)
I watched the boss, praying an ene s it focus a moderate amount of attention on my position
And starting to swing around its cudgel, it chucked it at Clara, as lighting the room
“Clara, fall back!”
The throeapon round
The one who did it was Poyopoyo
“Securing the backline’s safety is I, Poyopoyo’s, job… with a worthlesson my life”
I gave my thanks in answer to her sarcasm
“Nicely done I’ll tell you the na out for the back lines like that!?”
“What did you say!? Why did you have to say that now, and not during yesterday’s rest…”
She started to nored her, and looked towards the bossHaving lost its weapon, it was hitting down on Aria and Miranda-san with its bare hands
“Lightning!”
When the two of theic to rack on soe
It was far from a fatal blow, but I definitely dulled its movements somewhat
(As I thought, the First’s Skill sure was useful)
Before the ene of how I beat it with a single blow before reinformed me of how valuable the Skills were
And as we surrounded the boss, laying on attacks, Clara shouted out
“The preparations are finished!”
On the loud shout of the usually-quiet girl, we all retreated After I had made it all the way to the room’s wall, the temperature suddenly started to climb
“Fire Storm!”
Flaather and swirl, and they condensed on their target, bringing forth a pillar of fla that, I checked to see if that had clenched our victory
While the boss continued to struggle and thrash about, it was unable to escape After running out of power, it finally collapsed
“Okay!”
The second I said that, the Second cried out
『Lyle!』
Hearing that, I turned to the entrance
The ones entering the room were adventurers It was plainly obvious that ere conducting battle in this room
On top of their clear breach of manners, the weapons in their hands were bows
“Everyone, behind Porter!”
Aria and Miranda-san sprang to action
As Noveic, she borrowed Clara’s help to head to Porter
But theirat the two of them
I could see a glowing light at its tip
Within the roo carcass of the boss, what I saas definitely the exploding arrows I used as well
“…!”
The second they started running for it, the fired arrows cale, they wouldn’t be able to get behind Porter in time
And the one who stepped out front was…
“I won’t let you do that!”
Several arrows hit her head on, and explosions rung out
It happened in an instant
Poyopoyo still maintained her form, and stood where she was
And there, a well-kept adventurer rand entrance
I shouted out
“You guys, what is your intent!?”
A grin floated on the face of the adventurer’s delicate features
(With that appearance… a noble? … the receptionist said one was trying to pull Novem and the others away… is that it!?)
In the past, I had heard talks of a noble adventurer trying to recruit Novem and the rest of the party away
A few arrows ca my way, so I avoided them
They exploded as they hit the walls, but along with the forth
The Fifth spoke
『Lyle, whatever it takes, cover your mouth!』
A kind of poison
As I thought that, the adventurer turned to athered behind porter
(This guy’s ai for Novem and the others, and…)
“Lyle, the Burden… I’ll be taking your Porter”
For aabout
