When the flame that covered the ground disappeared, the scenery of the forest without one burnt trail was spreading there as well. Only Bushbus and smoked smoke are raised by the four fallen people – no, three people and one half elf. This is the dark magical power. It is the effect of demonic arcane art that was crafted only to chew the living and to squeeze the pain.

Among such disaster, it is nothing but a perpetrator who has brought it, such as the one who can move.

It's Manticore.

When monsters were trembling and trembling, they alone dropped the arrows stuck in and around the body. Both of the stumps stuck to the middle of the thick epidermis, not even the bones, even the muscles. This was the result of the attack that Silan continued firing desperately, and Joel bathed himself up until he shot himself.

"Kuku …Scream … "

Manticore looks at the state of the game and licks his tongue. Four bodies are fairly good. Even the living partner burns everything and can not appreciate the taste of fresh meat. For the first time in a while, I enjoy the taste of real people, not trolls and augers. I am glad that it will not bear it.

"Let's eat from the brain?"　Let's eat from the intestines?　I want to bow the meat, I want to suck on my bones, I want to roll the eyeball with my tongue … Scream …You guys are a good sacrifice? "

While drooling slowly, he gradually walked over to the treats as if he could frighten himself.

Well, which one you got from us? Is it a well-trained swordsmen, a shinto priest who is likely to have virtue, a soft female demon of meat, or a half elf of a different kind? Everything is attractive and it seems to move on, and play games with evil brains.

and

"Wow …"

A human woman – Rosalie raised a faint groan voice.

They're alive.

Barely, she still has a breath.

Perhaps Mariano's sacred magic reduced the magical power of Manticore and could have connected life at its best.

It was an unquestionable miracle. However, it is a meaningless miracle as well.

Rosalie has no power to resist again. It is a wounded body, no companion, a magician who takes time to cast magic. Why can you oppose Manticore with a strong physical body and a lethal poison needle even without magic?

Although it is alive in the first place, there is no consciousness, even if there is, it will be stinging with pain. I can not fight very well.

So this survival is only to give the predator a superb seasoning to prey on prey.

"Sai …Female ……Screaming …I want to hear it "

Manticore goes closer to Rosary while sounding teeth like a shark and flinging saliva with splashes.

J? I do not even recognize that the enemies are approaching themselves. In the midst of pain, he only murmured euphoria without consciousness.

"Sorry, Joel ……Me, in a role … ….I did not stand it …. "

As usual, a kind of weak sound which does not say even if it dies leaks out from the lips of the girl.

Manticore was enthralled and listened to the voice. An agony of men, grudge, and mourning. Their negative feelings are for their demons to be as appetizing as they are for blood meat.

I do not even know that my speech words are pleasing monsters, and Rosalie's confession continues.

"I'm sorry……Me, stupid ……His feet, clothes … "

My helpless betrayed the opponent who gave me a trust and a thought.

To hear the words of that repentance will be or will only be a monster eating monster –

No

"No such thing, no"

Something stood up at the blind spot of the sight of the monster.

Sounds of rubbing against parts of armor. Sound that the heel of the foot depresses the ground. And the sound of the sword of the sword ringing.

Party "Balance of guardian" leader, young swordsman Joel. He pushed the body of full body creation, standing up with a sword.

"Thanks to Rosary ……I can still fight. "

What a fool. I received magic, I fainted to death, how did you fight to fight?

Manticore looking back at the voice of disgustingly intelligently surprised his face.

- It's fire.

A fire is on the sword of Joel. It was not a dark glare of the magic of darkness, but a sparkle of fire was burning with a glow like a person's prayer shaped.

"I was able to cut the magic of the opponent with the guy you cooked … …!"

Just before being swallowed by «Ignis · Fatas», the magic that Rosalie finished casting.

That is the magic sword «Flame · Tan». Magic power of fire is given to the blade of the weapon, and it turns into a devil sword like the burning tongue of the fire dragon. The sharpness also fuses even the steel, and a sword with a devil was a secret that it is said that he will pay him a thorough method.

Originally, Rosary was merely a daughter of a rural aristocrat. As a magician, I am blessed with magical power, and the amount of magical knowledge was also known to a former home collection. Because she is such a ruler she is with the swordsman Joel who has a genius of genius, it is a technique to impart magic to the sword by pouring heartache. Only a single attribute of fire is slightly what became an object. However, to that extent the strength and accuracy of the procedure is attached with origami.

The flame will not go out even if it gets wet with rainy season of fresh blood, its blade burns down only the bad enemies. This is the "sword and balances" where the first two people have arrived.

"Sai … …!!　Sacrificial like … …! ! "

A monster raises a voice to humiliation.

Such a thing. Taka's magician's magic trick and swordsman's wife showed against their magic.

Whether it was words, contempt was transmitted, but Joel shook his head.

"Rosary is not the only one. If Mariano did not protect me, I could not bear it. "

And, as I say, I step a step.

"I could not get up if Silan was caught and I did not even give it a potion."

Wipe off your mouth while stepping further. The reddish-purple wet glowing dirt adhered to the back of the hand rubbed. It seems to be a residue of potion that it was drunk. Does the half elf girl have done such a thing in that moment?

「……If anyone was missing, I could not fight now. "

At last Joel reached a pair of swords and set up a burning sword.

Manticore also turns to it, pointing towards hatred.

"Do not lick me and my colleagues, a monster. Defeat you with the power of all of us … …! "

"Do not worry, …！！」

It was Manticore that moved the other way. When I could not put up with keeping listening to the obsolete picture skill convenient for the boy 's talking person, I stretched the nail of the forefoot and jumped.

A giant that will overt tons will overtake with the momentum of the wind. Joel lowered his posture and waited for it,

「……Ha ha! "

Reach it with round-up.

As a volcanic eruption, the sword ran from the bottom to the top, beating the right hand of the monster diagonally.

"Gou ……ng！？」

Manticore leaks moan to slash and burn pain. It was the first time to face the Magic Sword. Aside from feeling that different pain can be given at the same time, the sword attack which had been able to handle before without splattering melts the nail and breaks the front leg. I can not help feeling a threat to improving this power.

In the meantime, a reverse exclamation falls with the returning sword.

"Sacrifice … …!"

I barely prevented the tail as a shield. However, some of the thorns that thrust the tail burn down and flow down.

It became a fascination as it was. Here the scar of the right foreleg will sound. It is necessary to step on with a foot to put a force on the tail so that the sword is not pushed in, but it does not work well with the pain in the forefoot. A sword like human beings that fly without fear if it is in perfect condition. It was completely antagonistic with the monster Manticore.

While the sword of fire is stopped being banged in conflict, it burns out and crushes the tail shell and blows its blade.

「……I will push it as it is! "

"Senseousu!"

Manticore touched it and sprayed venom from the tip of the tail. Adjusting the angle of the poisoned needle keeps the freezing angle even if the tail is fixed.

Joel jumping out without being able to resist lethal pollution.

Against him who has taken a distance, the monster again smiles a mockery.

"Sorry … ___ ___ 0　It was regrettable … ….?　Opportunity, only now was a good opportunity ……! "

"What did you say……?"

To a swordsman who has a strange face, the monster slowly moves the tail.

Point the poisoned needle towards a fallen Rosary.

「whaa!?」

"Hostage …!　Hostage is … …! "

Manticore shook the tip of the tail slightly gladly. The spilled poison burns the ground next to just ten centimeters of the face of Rosary.

In order for Joel to win, I had to push it inside. Because his companion is fallen down in the surroundings. If you do not attack at a stretch, you will be taken hostage like this in this way.

This monster knew the nature of the prey. There are two kinds of humans. One is a person who escapes regardless of friends or who abandons and attacks various communes. The other is a person who does not even refuse even his own life to help his companions in stupid things. Joel is the latter whatever you see. The hostage will work quite seriously for the foolishness of the unity of bonds that is bonds at the brink of life.

i

"« Fireball »!

"Aaaaaaa!"

What is it? It is said that the other hostages are devoting magic to Manticore.

Rosary who released magic of flame stands up as if it depends on a cane.

「……Who, hostage!　I guess I'm getting something like that to be sad … ___ ___ 0 "

Rosalee…　Did you notice? "

"It's not natural, I am a magician. Because there is magical power, swordsman is stronger than magic because it is strong "

Say, I will smile with a mixture of strengths. Even now it seems to collapse, actually the consciousness was cloudy until the end, but fortunately he earned time to recover Joel. Without breaking it out, even if I could not defeat, his struggle had meaning.

Manticore, who blew away by magical fireballs, regretfully ruins.

"Girls ah ah ah!　Scattering squat … …!　Eaten quietly … …! "

"[おあいにくさま] /(int,adj-na) (uk) that's too bad (often ironic)/too bad for you!/"

Blocking that voice that is unbearable to listen,

"- My God has said to the fingers as long as it is alive.«Wide heel» っ! "

The sacred healing light enveloped all the humans in place.

If you notice, Mariano got up and activated recovery magic.

"Mr. Mariano!"

Hey…. ?　If you are up, please recover soon! "

/(int) ha ha ha (laughter)/That is it, I felt my breath is in the middle of Joel's disappointment. If not then you should not cast the enemy, and cast a recovery magic. Well, I was impatient when Rosalie was about to be taken hostage. "

The shinto priest who acted steadfastly said that while scratching his head.

If I think about it, if a magical user has a high resistance, he should be strong next to Rosary. He also used sacred magic which reduced damage. In addition, although it was somewhat damaged, he was wearing strong armor. Perhaps even among the members, we must have the most margin for physical fitness.

"Himself …!　Himself …!　Then once again – ''

Manticore takes the next hand while grinding jagged teeth.

Cast a spell. Let 's cast the magic that forced the party to a semi – collision with a single blow, once again. Even though I have recovered from my first shot and recovered, that damage will not be completely canceled. There will be some people who will be unable to fight next time if it becomes the second time there. The monster calculated so.

But,

"- Hanging …… !?　what……ng！？」

The numbness of the whole body that came suddenly, in particular the twitching which the tongue felt, broke the chant in the middle. Any magic can not be activated if the cast is interrupted. If it were usable it was about uncatested from the beginning. Naturally, the magic of Manticore was also canceled, and the magical power required to activate also fog out.

「……Finally it worked. … ….It was originally lazy. "

That's what I call silane that I've returned earlier. Half elf girls are pointing cold to embarrassing demons.

「……My arrows are painted with paralysis poison. … ….Even with scratch marks, things like turning around the whole body if you put it in a blood vessel "

「Wha……！？

In that word, Manticore was further confused.

Although it is not fatal, it is poisonous. Did you say that such a substitute was shooting with friends involved?

「……Joel's strategy is always amazed. … ….If you paralyzed first, what did you plan to do? "

"Before that, I intended to take an antidote when I saw a gap. However, it seems that she was drunk from Silan. "

Joel says when he hurls down to push down the potion into his mouth. At that time, he said that medicine to cure paralytic poison was also administered. What an early job? It is a work which silk technique can be done which used to sound in early days.

「……Anyway, it seems that paralysis poison is effective for poisonous Manticore "

"Even poisonous organisms are weak against another kind of poison they do not have. Also, when the poison bag breaks, it is said that some creatures die from their own poisons. "

In Meliano 's commentary commentary, the human face of Manticore was dyed in shame.

"Wipe, shoes … ___ ___ 0 !!"

Strengthening and convulsing the flesh, by forcibly operating with physical intention.

If it is a sacrifice, it is said that it is made false to the human nature that he recognized as being bait.

It was humiliation. There is a certain misfortune as a devil that hunts a living person.

Therefore, Manticore left here and threw away both play and chatter.

Kill him MICHAEL (whispering): Hey. There is no choice but to kill anymore. I do not care about such things as leaving a part to be eaten or enjoying while enjoying trembling. You can not keep even one second in a magician in this prey. If I can not destroy them, I can not regain my demon pride.

Did you get injured on the right foreleg?　That's it, there are still three legs.

Magic was sealed?　So what happened, nails, fangs, tails, poisoned needles remained.

Are numbness due to paralysis poison?　There is no relation, even if a few numbness is subtracted, physical ability difference is advantageous here by far.

"Okay, bastard ……！！」

A cracked cry leaked out of the mouth that was deprived of liberty by paralysis.

The air flips with a bee, and the vigor turns into a whirlwind and swirls.

「……Do not mind, everyone!　I do not know what will happen yet! "

Joel 's throat tightened the party that was relaxed by the sign of reversal.

Yes, the punitive grade of Manticore is B +. If it is originally a C rank party, there is a difference in ability which can not be defeated even if it falls.

I got scratched on accident and devotion. He uses paranoia to eat paralytic poison. In terms of number, it is four to one. In addition to the fighting force of Joel which is exceeding the area of ​​class C here, there is a trump card called a magic sword …It is the first time that such elements come together. No, it is still a disadvantage for four to six or three to seven.

"Do not say it!"

"Yes, of course!"

「……I will not give up, I will not! "

Rosary holds a cane, Mariano holds the mace, Silane gives an arrow.

And Joel still shakes the sword that continues to blow up flames like warrior.

"Go ahead!　Defeat this monster, be sure to return to town! "

The adventurer party "guardian balance" and the dark monster Manticore.

The final total warfare is about to begin.

As mentioned earlier, even if all the advantages of adventurers work, the monster is still advantageous. Even so, Joel and others have enough eyes to win.

A further one was thrown into such a battlefield.

"- << Wind Burst >>"

Mushy gust of wind suddenly occurred. It hits Manticore.

"Well, sigh … yeah.ng！？」

While raising screams with amazement and spirit, the monster blows away to the back of the forest.

/(int) Huh?/What's up?/

Who was the one who raised a voiceless moment to develop suddenly? Perhaps it was all four people. In any case, the ladder was removed in a place where he was enthusiastic about pursuing the enemy who would normally not be able to compete on their own, and was determined to be a battlefield battle. For a moment it is unavoidable that thinking becomes blank.

Something came towards Joels who were shocked, squeezing the rascals and the grass apart.

「……What are you doing in such places!　It's dangerous! What? "

What appeared was a boy in a forest hunter who wore a fur vest. However, there is no mere hunter in this dangerous tree sea, there is no hunter who can use magic that can blow away Manticore. In fact, he was not an ordinary man.

Silan mutters while looking at the boy's eyes strangely.

「……Elf

Sharper and sharper, longer ears than those of people. It was evident that it was undeniably an elf.

Surely this big tree is a deep forest where the former was unexplored. It may not be strange that an elven living hidden from humans was living. But in most cases human beings dislike human beings, why does his tribe help humans at this last minute.

"In the rabbit, I will escape. Because as long as this remains, that demon will follow you again! "

– I'll try.

"Come here, please come!"

Go, the elven boy runs upwind. Joels ran after him behind the scenes.

"A little good, Joel?"

"Even if you continue as it is, it is subtle whether you could defeat Manticore while holding down the damage. I think that this should go along with him and leave him. "

I agree. Since the enemy is playful half, there are also sides that were able to compete with each other, and our aim is to investigate what is in the forest outdoors. In that sense we have achieved our goals. "

「……I think that is the case. … ….But is it okay if I follow the elves? "

"Well, well, well ….Even the elves are we and the demons an enemy?　Well, maybe you can believe it. "

Anyway, if that elf will help us, it will be a ship across. Certainly human beings and elves are not friendly relations for reasons such as enslaving them. However, if there is an elf who leaves the forest and becomes an adventurer in the village, it is not completely rigid. Better now it is an iron factory that enemies demons. For the elves who are said to be good and conscientious, the significance of cheating here will be less.

That was a common sense idea.

……They kept running upwind for about an hour and they stopped at a small vacant land like an air pocket in the forest. There is no indication to follow from behind. I wonder if Manticore could spread.

The Elf who leads Joel et al so far, turns around here as a gesture to wipe the sweat of the face.

"Hi, it was a dangerous place outside people. Why are you coming to the back of such a dark forest again? "

From a relief overcoming the crisis, I said so with a smile on my face.

This big trees is an unpublished forest. Perhaps this Elf, you do not know the occupation of race, horn, adventurer, existence of human race.

"Well, we are the ones who work on devils. It came for this purpose also in this sea. "

Joel who caught fire as a leader explained somewhat blurred and explained. Many adventurers who stepped into the forest and have trouble with the elves who live there. It is because it is sometimes aimed at rare plants and mushrooms that can be collected in the forest, not demobilization. And, of course, such items are of high value to the elven forest living elves. I explained such circumstances on this occasion, and I did not intend to talk about the story.

The elven boy keeps smiling.

[You do?]　It's amazing, she came to get rid of such a scary monster!　Both of us who live here are great help! "

"Aha, it is not that much"

Maryiano also laughed as if caught.

"Really, it is not like being praised. Apparently, Manticore is a misplaced translation. … ….Oh, you do not blame you separately, are not you?　If I continued as it was, this was also awful. "

"I will be saved if you say so. I will feel easy! "

The boy will also respond cheerfully to the words of Rosary.

To such a silk,

「……By the way, you "

Yes　What is it? "

「……Why do not you smell acting so far? "

I declared so cold.

- Pittari.

Abruptly enough so that such an imitative sound seems to be heard, the elven boy stops any movement. The facial expression solidified with a masked smile.

But that is also a moment. He speaks again with a smooth smile.

"Hey, hey, bastard!　What is already acting? "

Silane　What do you mean? "

"Well, that's right!　What's going on! What? "

Joel queries her with a serious look and Rosalie is not busy compare his strangers with his colleagues. Mariano had turned his eyes to the boy with thin eyes while handing his hands on his chin and his chin.

Silane continues.

「……The undulation of emotions is too constant. … ….I'm exaggerating the tone of my voice. … ….It's like a slut girl "

"It's a ruthless statement!　It seems like I'm a woman doing terrible things!　I will get angry if I do not do it badly? "

Elves raised their fists beside their faces and expressed their anger with an arrogant pose.

However, it is not a silane that is impressed by such a swing.

「……If I say get angry, I think it is late. … ….It is quite tolerant for a half elf like me, is not it? "

ng！？」

「……Elves hate people with mixed blood. … ….I refuse to put it in my eyes. "

Yeah. A normal elf does not talk long with this half elf. If there is no doubt, even further. For Elves who pride themselves as precious tribes, sometimes they can not tolerate monkeys without hair and those who suffer from painful insults.

It seemed that the tendency became even stronger if you were living in a closed village, even if you do not even know the concept of adventurers.

Well, I mean…It was dark and overlooked!　And what is that … ….O-oh…　I do not care about that!　Do not you think it is stupid to discriminate, to think, to prejudice, to be captured by such a thing?　I think so!　That's it! "

"Well, that is a wonderful mind?"

"Oh yeah, you do not understand the story, shinto shrine!"

To Mariano, who seems to have issued an assistant ship, the boy aims a smacky smile on her.

But,

"It seems to me much to know that … ….Woman, what a vulgar language in the outside world, where did you learn? "

to

"Is it" a guy doing terrible things to a woman "? Do you know the meaning well?　Why do you know such a word?　By the way, it means accurately "an intermediary who takes an amateur 's woman to the hall." … ….You have prostitutes and girls in your vill. Elf Kun who did not know what we did to come to the forest looking at our dresses? "

Mariano put the mace with a tough look. I regard a boy in front of my eyes as a completely enemy.

Joel also turned the sword. The effect of the magic sword has already disappeared due to time limit. However, the blunt light of the used steel was full of life-threatening power.

"And how do you know Mr. Mariano is a priest?　He is a man with a weapon wrapped in whole body armor. To human society – If you are not familiar with adventurers, is not it normal to think a warrior? "

Oh and by the way…Well, you are the one!　You tried to deceive us! What? "

Finally, Rosalie finally swallowed a story, gripping the cane with full strength.

There were too many unnatural points in this elven boy. Just as if you were indeed fond of doing things you knew as if you were doing it on purpose. Before joining the party, it was only looking as if he was trying to deceive this if he was silan raised in slum and Mariano which licked scentedly in the solo era.

And Joel and Rosalie also trust the calm colleagues from the bottom of my heart.

The balance of "guardian balance" was inclined to recognize the presence in front of you as an enemy.

Indeed, elven boys shrug their shoulders with their hands pointing upward as they give up.

Ha.I wish to hell we did. Surprisingly sharp, Hairless With monkey and mixed habit. Earlier these guys were easy to get caught. "

Then, he laughed diligently. A smile of ridicule that distorted his face to the contrary.

What is in here is not an elf in the forest of harmless nature. Something more stinky.

「……If it is before these people! What? "

「Hmm?　Are you worried about that?　Was it a month or two ago?　Alliance, did you say that?　Adventurers who came together in a large household with several parties together. The guys are scattered by the raid of demons … Come on …Because it was a chance, I guided one party to do this and made it a one-shot wreck. Even those who did not see us survived, did they?　It was regrettable. Successfully, they got them all together though. "

In other words, even this incident triggered the Great Sea as a dungeon, was this elf biting a piece?

"Why do you do that?"

"Have you decided to protect the forest?　The mountain priest came here to find a vein and open a mountain. Adventurers have searched for it and came to help. But if you let them go back safely so that a mining site will be created, then this forest will be tough. "

While being besieged by the adventurers of the battle situation, the elves are cheap and the doctrine is opened.

His tone was strangely lacking fever. For example, it is a part that told you to conquer human beings to protect the forest. If you are your guardian of the forest, that feeling, sense of duty, sense of duty, or hatred of anger and anger to humans, etc, should be mixed with such passionate emotions. However, it is not like that. There is only a cold disdain and intent of mockery.

The elven still continues while lifting both cheeks in ugliness.

"Oh, I guess you and your adventurers are going to attack the elves if they are paid money to aristocrats and merchants. Female to slay children and sell them away. It is terrible, really. That's absolutely feminine. Hahaha "

That's enough.Do not speak, you "

Joel's cold voice cuts off the playful elbow's mouth.

If I had been attending this decrement more than this, I was about to slash the opponent in front of me. For one's mind it would be for the sake of the world, but it is not good. There is something that Kotu still needs to do.

"Shake your head and just shake it, answer me. Are you planning to guide us out of the forest? "

Escape from this forest. By escaping from Manticore, I could not return to the way I came. First, this place has been guided by a crazy elf standing in front of you. In order to know the escape route, no matter how angry your opponent you will hear from Koitsu.

However, the elf laughs as if I looked down again.

「……Hahahahahah!　I do not care either way!　Do not be silent or guide! "

Along with that answer, Joel was moving.

"Is that so!"

Saying, swinging the sword. Contrary to the principle of hurting the unarmed opponent, the partner is a malicious madman. If you do not understand by saying it, even if you encounter a somewhat painful eye it will get you to pour out the way to the outside. Fortunately, here is Magiano of the priest. Even if one of the arms and feet fly, you can heal it with recovery magic if you do not even die, there was no need to extra hand.

But,

"- Protect me"

Joel 's sword flash was hindered by a side – hit strike that flew away suddenly.

"Hahaha!"

"Joel !? … ….Hit! What? "

Rosary tried to rush to Joel who had not gathered and flew away. But she stood before the one who blew him away.

「……OOOHOHHH …！」

「……UOOHOHHH …！」

「……GUOOHHHH …！」

Moving raspberries and branches and leaves, moving forest trees with intention to move thick roots like a tentacle and let it wiggle. The sinuses or trunk barks stuck on the trunk were mapping the huge human face. Distorted by hatred, leakage of groan of grudge from mouth, face of a person.

Trento　Is it also five body! "

perYou said that a while ago?　The guys from the front also guided this way and made a shot. Did you think that this place where I stopped was just a resting place? "

While proudly saying the elves, they glance at the glance of Trent.

"Oh my, you guys do something terrible, you guys. I'm scratching the body of the woods' precision. "

「……/(int) Huh?/What's up?/

If you are told, there is a scar on Trent's one-piece trunk that carved with a knife.

That silent sculpture marked as a signpost of a signpost.

「……You?It was truly a torrent. "

"Please be aware, horse riding!　Spirit It is the body of a guardian of a woods in the forest?　Please be sure … …However, it may have been an unreasonable consultation for a mild mixed-up child. "

An elf which drifts without disturbing discrimination consciousness to half elf now.

On the other hand, Silane tries to look back on her breath,

「……Cow! What? "

The sight was blurred, my head was unsteady.

The extremities of the limbs are numb and numb and the force comes out of the body.

Silane is not the only one suffering from sudden physical abnormality. Mariano also pierces the knee in the ground while roasting breathing, and Rosalie is panting and stifling with a staff while panting.

"this is……Numbness, medicine ……！」

Joel also said that while standing up awkwardly. Even though we received a surprise attack from a giant monster, he is a avant-garde hanging out one head from the C ranking category. It was unnatural that this took time to return. I thought that it was also a benefit of numbness drugs and I gained mind.

But when was such a thing served?

"Has it worked at last? Indeed, who has bad visits to wisdom is bad blood circulation? … ….It's really late, I guided you to this square and you will notice the unnaturalness there. "

No wayRunning, on the way … ….? "

Joel muttering with amazement.

Speaking of which, this elf always ran upwind and was guiding the party. Speaking of unnaturalness, you should have noticed there first. The kind of monster is nose-rich. If you plan to escape from Manticore, the upwind side where the smell drifts on the wind and flows to the side of the followers should be abominable. If you dare to do that folly, the purpose is to spread powder or something on the wind?

"Your name. By the way, perhaps but the antidote you have is not effective?　This paralysis poison is a special made, which is incredibly well prepared. Ruckus, "Even those with poison are weak against poisons that are different from the ones they use" …Richard, was it?　It is totally true, I will laugh! "

"That line, that line -"

The details are different, but Mariano's words when paralyzed Manticore. From that time already, was this Elf aiming at themselves?

"However, it is troublesome to recover paralysis by the priest's magic … …Tighten them, torrents. You just have to take consciousness. "

「……OOOHOHHH ……！」

Following a crushing instruction like using on the chin, the torrents detain Joels and tighten up. I was tangled with limbs on a branch tree like a serpent, and I felt the consciousness faded gradually as my neck was stranded.

「……Haha "

"Well, that … ….Konna …. "

"Kami, yo …"

Silane, Rosary, Magliano are being shut down one after another and lose interest.

The last remaining Joel was all that I could do to say this in the light of the crowd who caused this situation.

"What, what …?Look! You can't…

Deceive adventurers, serve poisons, and celestial trent of the forest with myself.

Such evil existence can not be an elf.

Continuing to ridicule the question including the meaning of condemnation It answered like singing.

"You said that a while ago? I am an elf who fights against foreign enemies to protect this forest. "

The young swordsman's consciousness fell into the dark while frustrated by the evil voice that makes the earlobe.

※　※　※

The elf who confirmed that all the adventurers fainted, let them sniff a newly taken sleeping medicine just in case, and finally exhaled a breath and a breath.

And when you take the dress like a talisman, you put it on your mouth. It is a ceremonial dress with communication magic.

"From E – 08 to E – 01. Again, go from E – 08 to E – 01. I will ask for a response. "

"From E-01, to E-08. Good sensitivity, no hindrance to communication. … ….But, I do not get used to anything, this tone is "

The reply that came back to the dress was full of psychological awareness. The partner in communication is the head of the village to which this elf belongs called E – 08. A new chief who attacked after the predecessor lost his finger, was an elf who used to bundle groups of hunters before. I think that E-08 would not be able to clear the sense of that time yet.

By the way, is that it?　What was the reason why the predecessor died?

so?　Have you finished the task you left? "

To the voice of the long, E – 08 is aware.

Well, I do not care about those who died. I thought that we should live now is our living.

Hell, yes.Did you wait for it? "

Yes. I was a little bit uneasy, were not you?　If the report was a bit late, I was planning to let Chaga – E – 31 go to see it. "

「……I would like to be pardoned. "

My voice unexpectedly rises. E-08 does not have a good impression on a man whose name is his name. Although I do not know what my son-in-law's son-in-law is, it is said that anything was given special power to the great Lord and was given strong power. That alone can bear it still, but when you come with the attitude towards the work of E – 31, there is no enthusiasm at all. Hunting in this sacred forest dominated by the Lord is that they are noble obligations for the E series, their name Witte – now.

……The conversation ceased for a moment, and it became a disgusting atmosphere. He misleads his passions and restores his topic to something about his job.

"I will report today 's prey. Swordsmen, magicians, priests, and mixed shooters. There are four in total. "

"Huh, is there a priest?　Mixing is rare. Is not it a good result? "

"Is the priest also horny and horny?"

The thought of disdainfully hit the mouth without thinking. Recently our lord seems to admire the priest. That's good, but it is not convincing that a lower mixed race is a good prey. To the thought of sacred hunt, it makes me feel smelly mud.

To such a man, the chief turned back to a shy smile.

"Oh, the one who just mixed up was just good. There seems to be someone who wants an elven virgin under his master anything. However, our elf is a rare existence, neither can we turn down as a toy. Therefore, even if it mixes, if you give it instead, it is until you thought that it would fit all around in all directions "

"What, is that so … ….But, it is a selling girl who opened her crotchless hair?　It is surely like a parent and a dirty ghost. Whether it is a virgin, a bit – "

"Well, it is certainly a prey that I can not afford either way. Her rabbits are horny, you can be more pleased with that guard. "

Certainly, as the length says. Honest stone is a hunter who is formerly a great arm, or even now he is still teaching young elves to hunt. E – 08 was ashamed of my disrespect.

"Well, then, bring the prey to the village -"

And that time.

"Sai …

From the ground of the trees, Manticore ahead of us stares out. I guess they have followed the escorted adventurers so far. It was because of running upwind, it smelled.

"Hey, what's wrong E-08? "

"- No, Manticore, who was talking with adventurers, just came. However, I am hungry because I am wounded. You will need food. "

The voice of E – 08 was a drowsy one reminiscent of when a dog had entered during a meal. Originally, you came across the demon as much as Manticore, there would be no elves etc that could show such a margin.

However, in this Marlan forest the circumstances are somewhat different. Most of the monsters in this tree are demons who are dominated by the Lord who governs the Witte, its subordinate, the dark elves. Because the supply of magical power is being narrowed down, it is necessary to eat at the same intervals as in the wild, but there is a separation to the extent that it does not hit the forest guardian elf.

In fact, Manticore ignored the E-08 who was a bastard who blown away the magic and blown away earlier and is turning his appetite full of eyes to the adventurers.

(fumu. Then give me a swordsman and a magician. Only getting mixed with the priest who comes with you is fine. "

Are you?　If the magician rebuilds and hangs on a collar, I think that it will become a slave so much "

"It is said that it is inevitable to remodel a person with a table. Of course, if there is a corresponding scarcity value, it is not that limit … …Is that magician a body that should be missed so much? "

It is told, I think a little. Magician who is located in roughly C rank. For being young. A skill that can make a magic sword. The conclusion that synthesized them,

"No, absolutely … ….Then, in accordance with the instruction of E – 01, I will return with prey. Over

"Oh, okay. Over

After finishing communication, she quickly dresses up her dress. And I gave instructions to Trent.

"Transport the mixture with that priest to the village. Tell me when you wake up from sleep. I do not need swordsmen and magicians. Keep it. "

「「……OOOHOHHH ……!"

Tuscin and Tuscin start moving up with earthquake. E – 08 who started walking with it lightly tapping the head of Manticore in a staggering fashion.

"Totally, it is too hand cranky to C ranked adventurers?　It seems like I got hit by a play I do not need "

"Huu … …."

While treating you to train a dog, the monster only leaks an objectionable voice. If someone familiar with the ecology finds it, it is a spectacle that could start fainting with amazement.

But this is something of "a big trees of darkness". A monster eating monster is just a hand for elven hunters instead of hunting dogs. But that is a valuable piece. As long as I lose it, that dark elf must go out looking for a substitute.

So, you should be careful not to be defeated by adventurers by any chance.

"Wait, I will keep the bait, so do not eat while reflecting. Even if there is a next one, do not you think that I can go for help again? "

"Ooo … …!!　Scream …!　Sakiee ……! ! "

E-08 rushes to the village back to the village with BGM as the meal sound of Manticore full of joy. While thinking how much the Lord will pay in exchange for the adventurer who got alive.

In this way, the party "guardian balance" who was expected to be a future for the adventurer's guild had disappeared into the darkness of this place without returning from the big trees.
