"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

　With such a cry Rodos thrusts his long sword into it.
　Close the gap with the opponent and swing the long sword down on the shoulder.
　The sharpness of the swordline shows that it was not his parents' seven lights that made him a Rank C adventurer at a young age.
　But...

"It's sweet,"

　The Vihela of the recipient, with her body half-length, plays the blade of the long sword sideways with the back of her hand.
　Even if Rodos's dagger is for mock warfare and does not have a blade, he cannot normally do so.
　I wouldn't go so far as to say that he was equal to Ray, but it was only possible because he had the ability to fight each other in his own way.
　The long sword, which is forced out of orbit by the back of the hand, hits the point of the sword directly to the ground.
　The blow is so powerful that grass, soil, and stones are scattered around... but the blow so powerful that Rodos' hand is paralyzed by the impact that it stops moving for a moment.

"Yes, that's it."

　a dead moment It was more than enough space for a person as competent as Vihela.
　the inner part of a rhodos' interval Before I knew it, there was a Vihela figure close to me, and I was shocked to the side of my head.
　Knowing that Vihela's back is on the side of his head, Rodos breathes a sigh at the most perfect defeat.
　If Vihela had taken this blow seriously, she would faint... because she understood that it was still good and that her head was broken.

"My own..."

　Rodos, who understands that there is a body so close to him that he smells like a Vihela, is speechless until the end.
　He breathes for a moment at the faintly sweet smell, but immediately returns to his senses and takes a deep breath.

(Yes)

　Elk, watching the battle, muttered privately.
　Although Rodos loved his mother, Min, and was not very interested in women of his age, his attitude toward Vihela was clearly different.
　Maybe she was interested in another woman instead of her mother?
　I thought so in my heart, but immediately shook my head.
　I'm glad my son became interested in the opposite s*x. However, the opponent was definitely at fault.
　She was the second princess of the Vestian Empire, and although she was not so famous as to be called a madman in the labyrinthine city of Egzil.
　That alone isn't what Rodos can manage.
　What's even more decisive is...

"How's it, Ray? Did you admire my strength a little?"

　Yes. With the back off Rodos' side of his head, Vihela asks Ray with a smile.
　Although they spent a short time together, it was obvious to Elk that a woman named Vichela was actively appealing to Ray.

(My son, though poor, would not be able to have predatory love in Rodos' case.)

　At the end of his son's love, Elk gazes out into the Celemus Plain.
　The elk had a lot to do with Theorem, but he was just with the Theorem... and there was nothing particular about Vihela, who had left the country many years ago.
　That doesn't change if we know that Vihela is the second princess, and before that, Elk now wore a few quid pro quo in the battle against Theorem, and he has no intention of doing anything more to Theorem.
　Whatever your heart may be, it is that
　As Elk thinks like that, Ray nods and opens his mouth as he leans on Seto and watches a mock battle between Vihela and Rodos.

"Vihela, indeed," The movements were smooth, and I couldn't find anything to complain about."
"Phew, that's right. ...how about it, then? Why don't you?"

　Ray shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

"I'm afraid I'll be on the move in the afternoon. I want to relax a little now."
"Already,"

　Vichela, slightly pointed at Rey's words, looks discontented.
　one's eyes and present sulky expression Several of the knights of the bodyguard who were watching the two blush to their ears.
　You must have noticed it. Vihela opens her mouth with a smile.

"What do you think, knights? Why don't you fight me for a moment? If you win, there might be a good thing?"

　Until he lost to Ray, he declared that he could be held in his arms if he beat him, and sought battle on his good looks.
　But now that I've lost to Ray and fell in love with him, I'm not going to do that.
　Still, I will never stop trying to make you look attractive.
　Even if I lost, I wouldn't forgive my chastity.
　In a way, it can be said that they are like insectivorous beings.
　Fortunately, however, no one fell for it at this time.
　No, I didn't know if I had a few minutes to spare, but before that I could hear voices echoing around me.

"The lunch break is over, and we're leaving!"

　It was Dusker who appeared and told me so.
　Speak to Vihela with a somewhat troubled smile.

"My Highness, if anything happens to you, I shall not be responsible for it." I can make excuses for the adventurer, but when it comes to knights, you know."
"Oh, that's too bad, but the knights of the Larkes frontier are quite talented, aren't they?"
"Well, my domain is a remote guillem,"

　When a monster flood occurs, not only adventurers but also guards and knights will naturally deal with it.
　In addition, since there are many adventurers, naturally there will be a lot of disturbances among adventurers.
　The latter, in particular, is usually subdued by the guards, but when the guards are out of control, they also ask the knights for help.
　In other words, being a knight is more likely to deal with adventurers beyond the control of the security forces, and their abilities are questioned.

"Gillum, I hear it's also Ray's home town, and I think I'll show up when the trouble settles down."
"That's... no, I can't say anything about it.

　Dasker hesitated for a moment, but he replied with a little wry smile.
　As a Larkes frontier, I welcome the growing number of skilled adventurers, and I will not refuse them.
　However, in the case of Vihela, she has the position of the second princess of the Vestian Empire.
　No matter how much he declared that he had already run away and had left the Imperial Family, it was obvious that he would be in trouble if there was someone in that position in Gilm.
　mainly through intervention from the royalists
　At the same time, we are cooperating this time, but we are not particularly in the aristocracy.
　Especially the Duke of Kelebel, who is also a central figure in the aristocracy, and his surroundings, some of them seem to be aristocratic supremacists and think that ordinary people are just trash.

(Well, even the neutrals can't speak of other factions.)

　In Dusker's mind comes to mind a few faces of neutrals who seem to be linked to the aristocracy or the royal faction, but they shake their heads slightly.

"Well, I'll take my time to think about it when the matter is over. Of course, as a lord of Gillum, we welcome the adventurers who are capable."
"Well, then I'll look forward to it."

　He must have judged that he had taken a provisional measure of what he said. Vihela puts on a robe she had thrown off into the grass because it interferes with the battle.
　Several knights gasped regretfully at the sight, but as soon as Dusker looked at it, it disappeared.
　We sigh in anticipation of the upcoming competition in the Vestian Empire and all the troubles associated with it.
　Of course, I thought about all of them and considered them, and as a result, I decided to cooperate with Teorem, but it's not that I don't have anything to think of.
　But I can't be shaken by my position as Lalx's frontier and a leading figure in the neutral faction.
　After judging so, I will try again and speak up."I told you that the lunch break is over! You're resting forever!"

　Say the same things as you did when you appeared here, and rush the party.
　I only had about an hour's break during the day, but I still wanted to keep more distance by night.
　At night, though weakly undead, such as skeletons and zombies, many of them wander around the plains of Celemus and attack themselves.

(It's particularly troubling that it's still hot.)

　Recalling the rotten smell of zombies he has sniffed several times, Dusker breathes a bitter sigh.
　The bitterness of those who died in the Spring War is haunting this land undead, such as skeletons and zombies.
　Of course, the Spring War was a landslide victory for the Milliana. But that didn't mean that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Milliana weren't dead, and many of the zombies were dressed in the armour of the Kingdom of Milliana.
　adventurers, knights, soldiers, and so on Various people die in the Spring War, and their resentments create the Undead.

(If I could manage it, this would be the best settlement.)

　He thinks so, not as a faction, but as a noble of the kingdom of Milliana, and then quickly shakes his head and changes his mind.
　This is not the time to think about it, but to focus on the events of the Bestian Games.

"I am ready, Dusker," You can leave anytime."

　come to oneself with a voice like that coming from behind me
　Looking around, I saw that everyone who had been there a short time ago had already disappeared, riding on a horse or in a carriage.
　Ray straddles the set, and it looks as if everyone but himself is already ready.
　I glanced at the carriage in which I was riding, and there was the axe of the god of thunder, led by Elk.
　As a bodyguard, they would still have to stay outside until Dusker gets into the carriage.

"I'm sorry, I'm leaving right away."

　mutter in silence into a carriage
　Shortly afterwards, the Elks got on board, and thus the preparations for departure.





　In the afternoon sun, Dusker and his party make their way down the Celemuth plain.
　Since it is still daytime, undead species are not active, and monsters are rarely present on the Celemus plain.
　It's a Celemus plain with countless undeads. Even if there are a few monsters, they will be attacked and killed as soon as night falls.
　Even monsters know that. There were only monsters on the Celemus plain who were confident in their own power, or could not think of anything like that.
　Even these monsters cannot resist the violence of numbers, and the bad cycle is that the lucky ones escape from the Celemus plain, and most of them fall prey to the undead, resulting in more undeads.
　Nevertheless, many people travel on the Celemuth plain because it is the shortest distance between the Empire of Bestia and the Kingdom of Milliana, and the grasslands and roads are not bad.
　That's why the party, traveling along the Celemuth plain, notices a carriage coming from the direction of Bestia they're aiming for.
　Just in case, the knights always prepare to pull out their weapons.
　Theorem and Vihela hide their horses behind a carriage in case they knew their faces.
　Ray also takes the death size out of the mistling so that he can respond quickly when something happens.
　With the huge sickle death size in his hand, Ray thought he might stand out in his current situation for a moment, but immediately decided it was too late when he was riding on the set.

(Still, there is only one carriage for the other party. Compared to that, this is three cars. Do you want to attack me in that situation? And I'm almost overpowered.

　The strength of the Dusker party is no match for the bodyguard at the time of Theoreum's presence in Elk, Ray and Vihela. He is also the bodyguard who knights in the Gryphon set and the remote guillem.
　Even Dusker himself was originally in the Royal Knights and did not lack discipline.
　If Dusker, who has so much power, were to attack him, he would be a fool who thought he was as good as he could be.

(Well, that carriage is unlikely to strike us.)

　In fact, it is most likely that the horse-drawn carriage with merchants heading to the kingdom of Mileana.
　But... the horse-drawn carriage slowed down as soon as it saw the Duskers.
　Knowing that they had something to do, the group turned their attention to the carriage, raising their tension.
　Then the door of the carriage opened as the carriage stopped close to the laymen.
　A woman in her twenties appeared from there.
　The woman, to be described as a hard-looking woman, got out of the carriage and turned her eyes to the Lays...

"Syance?"

　Theoreum's voice echoed around.
