Chapter 11
This World is the Reality
It was a very sudden thing .
“Well, the leaders definitely saw the earlier magic and should be here soon…”
The moment Argo-san said that, the forest before my eyes wriggled .
The trees that were shaken by the wind and the clouds in the sky didn’t change . However, the atmosphere was different from earlier .
It was queer…heavy atmosphere .
There was a presence of something squirming deep in the forest .
“This…It couldn’t be! Amanda, take care of Yuuri-chan . ”
“Understood . ”
Amandsan nimbly held me around her armpit and ran while still holding her sword in her arm . We were behind Argo-san who was also holding his sword .
Eh? What is it? Why so suddenly???
I could only dart my eyes in surprise to the two’s sudden changes .
“It’s way too fast than it usually is in the cycle…What a worst timing . We could do it if there were horses . The leaders will be here soon, so you guys can join them there . ”
“Argo, please hold out there somehow . ”
“Hah . Who do you think you’re talking to? Even if I may look like this, I’m still Izel Fort’s vice-leader, you know?”
“Right . Then I’ll leave it to you . ”
“Yeah . ”
For some reason, Argo-san’s voice when he answered seemed a bit more distant . When I turned around curiously, I saw that there were lots of brown monsters in front of Argo-san . The monsters were moving…just like a child…
No, that’s not right . They were goblins . Their ears were pointed and their eyes wee goggling . Their hands were holding sticks . Their figures were really similar to the in-game goblins .
But there were too many of them . There weren’t only dozens of them…there might be no less than one hundred?!
“Hii!”
As Argo-san swung his sword, bright red blood splattered from the goblin . The splattered blood dyed Argo-san’s sword and body in crimson . In the next moment, he swung his sword at another goblin .
“A…Argo-san, Argo-san . The…goblins are…”
“I know . Let’s hurry and return to the fort . ”
“B…but…Argo-san is…”
“Even if Yuuri-chan is there, you will only drag him . ”
“B…but, I can also fight . ”
“…There are too many of them . ”
“That’s why, Argo-san, too…”
“That’s right . If you don’t want Argo to die, we have to quickly inform the leaders about this . ”
Die…?
He will die…?
In the game, you can revive someone using a priest’s spell .
Although this world is similar to the game, not everything is the same .
If that’s the case, it will really be the end once someone dies…?
No way!
I don’t want that!
I don’t want Argo-san to die!
Argo-san always gently laughed . He patted my head softly . I definitely don’t want such a kind person to die!
Think, I have to think .
What can I do?
That’s right, let’s take another look at my status…
“Status Open . ”
I recited while still in Amandsan’s arms, and a semi-transparent window opened .
The status screen that I saw yesterday popped open again .
Eh? My name in the status screen has changed from Kujou Yuuri to Yuuri Kujou…1
Aside from that, isn’t there something else?! Something else…
As I desperately scanned over the window with my eyes, I noticed that there was a small arrow on the bottom side of the window . When I tried to tap it, lots of words appeared .
Yuuri Kujou . 8 years old . Sage level 1 .

The advanced skills for both elemental magic and recovery magic are written in grey . Does this mean I still can’t use them?
My magic skill is around 100, so I should be able to use them, but…
But that isn’t important now . What can be useful for now is…
That’s right! The area magic, the sage’s speciality!
But just how big is the scope of the area?
Me, Amandsan, and Argo-san . How should I do it so it can also include Leon-san and the others who will be coming from behind?
I don’t know because I just became a sage recently…
F-for the time being, let’s just try!
Some novels said that magic was based on imagination, so let’s imagine it!
“Area Protect Shield . Target, everyone from Izel Fort! Area Magic Shield . Target, everyone from Izel Fort!”
As I recited the spell, I felt something seemingly leaking out from my body . This is…MP consumption, I wonder? How much MP does the Area Protect Shield consume?
I wonder if the details would come out once I tap it? Aah, but my arms feel heavy…
When I raised my eyes, I was met with Amandsan’s surprised eyes . A semi-transparent red shield and blue shield were revolving around us .
Thank goodness . For the time being, the shields had effects . With them, our physical and magical defense should be increased . I wonder if the effects will still be there even when I’m apart from Argo-san? It will be nice if it’s there .
“Amanda, what is this?!”
At this time, a cool voice resounded . It was Leon-san . It seemed there were around six people coming over here on their horses .

Ah, there semi-transparent shields were also revolving around Leon-san . My area magic was a success . Thank goodness .
“Leader, I will explain the details later! The omen of Demon Flood occurred . Argo is fighting them right now . ”
“Alone?! How absurd!”
“He’s just right here . I’m taking this child to somewhere safe . ”
“Understood . Go and notify the fort . ”
“Yes . ”
Eh, I will return to the fort with Amandsan alone?
N…No . I want to go and help Argo-san!
“Uhm, I can do recovery magic! Please take me with you!”
“But you are a magician, not a priest, right?”
“You’re wrong! I’m a sage!”
I’m still level 1, though…Although I’m level 1, I am a genuine sage!
“Sage…?2 Certainly, we aren’t bringing a priest along right now . Yosh, if you know recovery magic, please do help . Robert, return to the fort and gather everyone . Let’s go!”
Amandsan and I rode on different horses as we rushed towards where Argo-san was fighting .
Please, Argo-san . Please be safe!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
I shouted in my heart many times while I was riding on the horse that was running there .
Argo-san, somehow, please be safe!
“Argo!”
Leon-san reached first as he jumped from his horse and stood next to Argo-san who was dyed in crimson due to the blood—though it was unsure whose blood was that: the goblins or himself . The sword that was in Argo-san’s hand was also dyed in crimson red, not washed by water magic .
But thank goodness . He was still alive…
Just as I felt relieved, Argo-san’s body slowly tumbled .
“Argo-san!!!”
Even if I was thinking about coming down from the horse to go and help, the knight-san that gave me a ride stopped me, so I couldn’t go to help .
Argo-san was wounded, so if he’s not healed…
Can [heal] reach him from where I am?!
But it could reach in the game, so it should reach him!
It will definitely reach him!
“Heal! Target is Argo-san!”

A silver light flew from my fingertip to Argo-san . Please let it work!
But Argo-san still hasn’t stood up .
Leon-san swung his sword as he was protecting Argo-san who was completely exhausted .
Amandsan and the other knights went down from their horses to back them up .
“Heal! Target is Argo-san!”
One more time!
Aah, if only I can use Extra Heal . That spell should be able to completely restore your HP even if the remaining HP is 1 .
As I was thinking about it, another possibility rose up in my mind .
If…If there is no HP remaining…?
Heal wouldn’t be effective if there’s 0 HP .
But in that case, what should I do?
Will I be able to use [resurrection] that I had used in the game before, even if it wasn’t there in my status screen?
My tears couldn’t stop flowing .
No, no, no!
I don’t want Argo-san to die!
“One more time… Heal! Target is…”
My voice trembled .
At that time .
“Seriously, it was dangerous this time…”
Argo-san slowly rose up .
“Argo-san!”
“Aah, I’m quite…revived, I think . Is this thanks to Yuuri-chan…?”
Argo-san who had stood up then fixed his grip on his sword, knocking off another goblin .
Thank goodness…
He was alive!
He was still alive!!!
I was so relieved that I finally realized that I was exhausted .
My arms are heavy…And my head is somewhat heavy as well…
The last thing that I saw was Argo-san fighting back-to-back with Leon-san
