“Let’s take a break around here”
Luna has been helping raise the level in the Makai's death forest. As someone who saw fatigued appeared, Luna took a break. She sat on a single tree and was thinking.
(After all, it is a little strange, In the death grasslands, there is no change, only in the forest and near to the transition gate, there are a lot of monsters active and abnormal… Well, it is almost a guess… …)
That said, Luna makes a deep sigh.
(…… It can only be the existence of Nushisama… Because Nushisama didn't lay any hands to the grasslands, weak demons gathered there, and the remaining strong monsters came to live in a group to survive… … It would be like this.)
When she thought about it, Mio came next to Luna and sat down.
“Lunsan, what’s troubling you?” You’ve been sighing…. ….”
Mio who does not show fatigue talks to Luna.
“No, since it has already been solved … and … Mio-san … was not it?”
“Oh, yes … … did I introduce myself?”
“No, because that’s what your friends called.”
“You are amazing, isn’t it?”
“Not too much… Mio, if you say so.”
“Yes”
“Mio-san… err… no, the others Velez-san, Yuushi-san, Daichi-san, and Rin-san have “super analysis” skills?
“!?”
“That reaction is enough”
Luna stood up on the spot.
Mio remained hardened, but she managed to squeeze out her voice.
“What, why…By any chance, from the beginning…”
“No, I didn’t understand it from the beginning. I understood it while I was raising the level together. When I attacked the demon, I was unusually surprised… … Besides…”
……
While Mio was talking with Luna, Velez, Yuushi, Daichi, and Rin were talking. The subject is, of course, about Luna.
“I lost my confidence as a magician…”
Rin immediately uttered a complaint.
“I also lost confidence as a heavy fighter …”
Unusually, Daishi was also dented.
“I was also confident as a magical swordsman as a holy knight …”
It seems that Yuushi is the most depressed. And the most decent Velez among them tries to change the topic.
“Everyone! It isn't time to be depressed!”
“Even if you say that …… Isn´t it bad that she will let us take the last attack after letting dozens of monsters rank 12 or more, become one HP in a few moments and let them faint? Moreover, she is the same age as us, and is from a non-fighting tribe … … You'd lose confidence, isn't it? ”
There, three people sigh a lot again. However, Daichi immediately recovered from it and went into the main subject.
“Rapidness, defense power, attack power, magic, swordsmanship, everything is out of the group … … should we add her?”
Yes, They're thinking of adding Luna to the group.
“That’s right …… I think so too. I think that it seems crazy when I say devil subjugation, so let’s have Luna join the devil subjugation group.”
There was no objection at Yuushi's proposal. If you say you are raising the level to pull down the devil, you will be worried. Because the Devil in this world is close to a fictional existence. If so, it would be better to tell her that they are Heroes, and they are going to subdue the Demon King. That’s the decision.
“Hmm? It looks like Mio’s back.”
A few seconds after the conclusion came out, Mio who went to try to understand Luna even a little, came back. However, from the point of walking with a tobo tobo, the 4 people speculate that there will be no big achievement. [TN: tobo tobo sfx to walk wearily, usually because something upsetting has happened.]
And when Mio stopped in front of four people. She uttered unexpected words.
“………… Luna is too much of a monster.”
After that, she put her hands on the ground and kneeled down violently.
“Oh …… Mio! What happened !?”
Rin shook Mio’s shoulder, but she didn't react for a while.
……
“What are they doing?”
When Mio was in a state of emptiness, the Rise kingdom's heroes ordered a break. They showed fatigue.
It seems that Shiki is going to check on Mio and Rin.
It was Kotone that answered it.
“Maybe Mio spoke to Lunsan, something was told… I wonder if that’s the way it is?”
Kotone stood up with a small breath.
“Even so, Luna was awesome ….”
Everyone sympathized with those words.
“Is that Luna really a 17-year-old non-combat tribe?”
“Hey, Shinki. It’s okay to say 'san' or 'sama'.”
Jin is paying attention to Shiki.
“You covet badly.”
“Naturally, you are overwhelmingly over the teacher”
“Ah, yes. That’s right."
After this, Shiki kept ignoring Jin’s goodwill.
……
“No……. I can’t believe super analysis was found out.……”
Mio returned and told this at the very beginning. Rin falters at the same time.
“Rin … Are you OK?”
Mio worried about Rin with a weak voice.
“Yeah, I’m fine……. I just don’t understand what it means this cheat.”
“I agree with that. I never thought I’d get this far in that spec……. If we’re cheats, Lunsan gets in the category of a bug.” [TN meaning computer bug]
Daichi said with a bitter smile. Following that, Mio spoke.
“Luna san was truly amazing … … she taught us our weaknesses …”
“”””weaknesses?”””
“Yeah, weaknesses.”
“What did Luna san say?”
Rin hears the story while wondering a little. This team is well-balanced and has cooperation. It was supposed to be no such weakness.
“Err … … that is …”
“It’s a mess. Just tell me.……”
“Yeah……. Well, the weakness of the five of us, including Velez … …”
Mio looked firmly at Rin and said this.
“Rin… … you after all.”
The five remained silent for a while.
It was pointed out that an individual was the weakness of the group rather than the cooperation or the strategy.
However, Rin seemed to have blown out somewhere.
“I see……. I knew it was me.……”
“What do you mean, Rin?”
Daichi wondered.
“I have recently started to realize … … I do not like being precise casting magic … ….”
Yes, Rin always used extensive magic. Since she understands that precision-oriented magic is not good……
“I think it is probably due to this … ….”
“There is also that, but let’s review from a more basic perspective”
When Rin made a bitter smile, Luna came out behind Mio and said so. However, not everyone was surprised. It seemed that she approached as usual.
Luna kept on speaking.
“Rin-san is very good at magic, but did you notice that the power consumption is wasteful?”
“Huh?”
“Again, you did not notice, when Rin-san uses magic, all magical powers are not used for magic, so magic, as I thought, was not completed, the focus on precision is deteriorating.”
“Well, uh… A little more understandable…”
“Well……”
Luna showed both palms to Rin. And two fireballs came out, one from each hand.
“Simultaneous magic invocation… …”
The tree magicians who were there were surprised again. But Luna did not stop thinking about such things and continued talking.
“Rin-san, do you know which of these two fireballs is the weaker one?”
Rin compares the two fireballs.
The right one has a stable shape, but the left one is slightly smaller than the right one, and there is a blur in the ball.
“Err … … left.”
“Yes, the answer is correct, but this fireball uses the same amount of magic, isn't it?”
“Huh?…… No way … …”
“Yes, the magic that Rin san is trying to unleash is the magic on the right. However, what actually comes out is the magic on the left. This is what it means.”
Luna withdrew the fireballs and kept talking.
“So, I think that it is better for Rin san to practice from magical manipulation first?”
Smiling sweetly Luna said so.
“Oh, that … … Thank you ….”
She was a bit embarrassed, but Rin said it clearly.
“No, because it was fated us meeting here. Let’s start raising the level.”
Thus, the level rise began.
……
“Thank you for your time today”
By the time it became completely dark, everyone was in the forest near the transition gate.
“No, it was fun.”
Luna returns to Yuushi's words like this. So Yuushi has the face which he is determined on something.
Luna notices the change and thinks something.
“What’s wrong?”
“Err … … Actually, I want Luna san to be one of us.”
“To be one of you?”
“Yes, in fact, we are the Human Heroes… …”
“Indeed, compared to ordinary people, it was quite an exceptional strength, is not it?”
Here, most of them felt tight inside.
“So, why not subdue the devil with us? If there is such a person like Lunsan, it is quite reassuring…… ”
Yuushi thought that she would probably accept it. But the reality was different. This is what Luna said with a troubled face.
“That I cannot decide…… I have to ask Nushisama.……”
“Huh? ”
Yes, Luna certainly said “Nushisama.”
“Um … …… What is Nushisama?……? This forest spirit or something?”
Yuushi said with slight impatience.
“No, it’s different, we have been in the forest for a while, so Nushisama is my master, I am Nushisama's slave.”
“Slave! What? ”
Everyone was terribly surprised. They guess so, why is she a slave while having this power so far.
That question was asked by one who was not the most suitable person among them. It was Shiki.
“Why are you so powerful if you’re a slave? Did that Nushisama deceive you? Then Nushisama is a scum.”
When Shiki said that, Shiki couldn't say anything more. Before he knew it, he fell on his bottom, but he did not mind. Luna’s eyes were full of murder.
And he was convinced by Luna’s next words that it was not misunderstanding.
“If you insult Nushisama more than that, I will kill you?”
Luna didn't even use intimidation. She ruled over this place with just the killing intent. However, its lethality also subsided a little, and Luna continued to say.
“I think Nushisama does not care, but I· · ·I will not forgive you. Also, about the invitation, as long as I don't ask Nushisama I cannot do anything… … I’m sorry. ”
By the time she finished saying so, the killing intent had already disappeared.
But they could not speak.
“Well, we will talk more of this … … again if there is a chance.”
Having said that, Luna disappeared into the dark forest. Even after Luna disappeared, the Heroes could not move.
