The next day.
We were on our way to the saint's labyrinth, when we stopped in a grassy field.
We stopped at a meadow.
'A monster! Help me...!
It's because we heard a shout from where we were going.
"A... demon?
When I looked at the direction of the scream - what was that?
A long, thin creature is flying around in the air. I thought it was a flying dragon, but it was quite small. It's about one size larger than a large bat.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
That's ...... a Wingrizzard, Nagi-san!
Letitia put her hand on her sword and shouted.
''Originally, they are demons that live near the sea. Normally, they are not supposed to appear on the land side. ......
Her route to the labyrinth splits off into a route to the sea.
Aine tells me with a map in hand.
'Maybe someone is driving the demon from the seaward route,'
"To keep you from going to 'training' and 'mermaid residences'?
It's possible. What do you think? Nah-kun.
'Yes, ...... since we're here, let's experiment with our skills here.
It's impossible to pretend you don't see it and pass through it.
You can't get to the saint's labyrinth without passing through this meadow.
It's just an experiment in skill. I'm not on the side of justice, you know. Helping people is an afterthought.
「「「「 Yes, that's right - 」」」」
...... so stop looking at me with such warm eyes.
Especially Letitia, you were just about to draw your sword and run out without question.
''Aine. Give me the information on the demon, and we'll make a plan right away.
Yes, sir. Master. You see.
"Winglizard.
Winged lizards. The lowest species of the wyvern family.
It is a carnivore, and sometimes attacks caravans with their cargo.
They have hard scales, which are not as strong as those of a wyvern, but they have a high level of defense.
Okay. This is the plan. The vanguard is me, Rafilia, and Reggie. Leticia, Aine and Cutlass, please back up.
That's why we decided to slay the demons while we were experimenting with our skills.
We can't keep Cecil, Rita and Iris waiting. Let's make this quick.
First, Rafilia put on the cloak, and.
It's time to activate 'Optical Camouflage'!
Raphilia declares.
'Oh no, the ground here is wonderful! It's really a wonderful field of grass. The way the grass grows and the color of green is also impressive. Especially this grass which was wet with the morning dew looks like Leggy's wet nipples with sweat on them, and the soft curve of the grass reminds me of yesterday.
""Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
Leticia and the others spoke up.
Of course, it wasn't because they were impressed by Raphilia's lines.
It was because her figure blended in perfectly with the grassland.
'Optical Camouflage Cloak.'
The cloak that changes color in "clothing" to "story
Raphilia's commentary allows her to change the color of the cloak itself and her clothes.
When activated, the clothes and cloak blend into the landscape so that as long as you cover your head and limbs, you won't be able to find the person inside.
''That's amazing. This is the 'optical camouflage'?
We have no idea where Rafilia is.
All we can see is the grasses rustling in the wind, and Rafilia must be crouched in the grass.
Rafilia should be crouched in the grass, but we cannot recognize her from either side. And yet we can't recognize her from either side.
The "reconstructed" feeling is that this cloak is completely disguising the light itself. Maybe they're adjusting for infrared light or something.
Okay, I'll be on my way.
Raphilia's around here somewhere. We should wear the cloak together.
He stretched out his hand and pulled the cloak up.
"Ma'am, Master. That's my skirt!
I'm sorry. This way?
"That's an ear ...... and that's a bum ...... and this way ...... come here.
The grass moved in front of me, even though there was no wind.
So that's within the range of the cloak. When I moved there...
Nei-kun is gone! It's a great idea to hide your existence for at least two people. ...... I'm starting to get worried about you. I'm starting to get worried about ......, isn't it?
Yeah. Okay, I'm off. You all follow me as you go around to avoid detection. If anything happens, I will contact you through the "consciousness-sharing program" and ask you to support me.
Me and Raphilia walked out hand in hand.
''──Is that 'Winglizard'
After about a hundred meters, we stopped.
''Huowowowow!''
"Hyggaaaaah!
It was a winged lizard, literally, flying around screaming.
It's not even a wyvern. It's a lizard about 1.5 meters long with bat wings.
''Hui-yi-yi!''
Hi! Get away from me! It's coming!
The attack of the Winglizard is a swooping tail blow, claws and bites.
The people on the ground - a small caravan of people - are all trying to get rid of the Winglizard.
Guard adventurers. Do something!
No! Arrow! I can't get my arrows through!
Gakin.
''Higagaga gaga gaga hahahahaha!
The escort adventurers are shooting arrows into the air.
But it only falls off after being flicked by the scales (scales) of the 'Winglizard'.
If they had a wizard, they could handle it, but from the looks of it, it's a small-scale caravan, so maybe they didn't hire that kind of thing.
''It's time for justice to be done, isn't it? Master.
No. We're just experimenting with our skills.
I said to Raphilia.
'If the resulting stray arrows hit the 'Winglizard', well, it's just a coincidence.
Hmm. Master is a bit shy, isn't he?
...... stinks.
'Okay. The master is a shy commander. And I'm his lieutenant, a righteous soldier!
I'll ask you where that knowledge came from later: ...... Raphilia, can you target the demon from this position?
The distance is just barely enough for the bow and arrow to hit.
I can hit it. But it doesn't produce much power, you know?
'I don't need the power. Just hit the soft parts (・・・・・・・).
I see. I see. "Ignore the hard parts," isn't it? I see.
Me and Raphilia look at each other and chuckle.
Before I know it, Reggie has turned into a figure-sized version of himself and is perched on my shoulder.
I'm sure we've all shared the concept of skills. I'm going to show you your skills, Elf girl!
'Yes! Leggy-sama!
While wearing the "Optical Camouflage Cloak", Rafilia held up her bow.
My aim is to see a flying winged lizard in the sky. There are six of them.
I've already figured out their attack pattern.
Swooping down, attacking with their claws and tails, and now surging up. It would change its posture once in the air.
That's when they would stop moving, so I'd aim for that moment...
Rafilia, now!
Activate! 'Gououkyoujutsu' plus 'Physical Penetrator' - the target of penetration is the demon's 'scales and skin', 'muscles' and 'bones'!
The sound of a bowstring (yuzu) was heard and five arrows were fired from Rafilia's hand.
It flies straight toward the "Wingrizzard" that swarmed in the air.
The distance is just barely enough. The power isn't much. Normally, it wouldn't be powerful enough to pierce the scales of a lizard.
But that's just an ordinary(...) case.
But that's not the case with us. And that's why...
Puff.
『『『『『 Gugiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! 』』』』』
A scream went up.
Raphilia's arrows had beautifully pierced the torso of the 'Wingrizzard'.
Because the lizards were spitting out blue blood as they fell straight to the ground.
''Hey, what the hell was that arrow? Someone helped me!
'Where is the person who shot you? From an unseen position... a bow strong enough to pierce the scales of the Winglizard... how muscular is that? You're a brave man, aren't you?
'An arrow through the body! Breaking through the scales and piercing the internal organs is a complete fatal wound ......, isn't it?
""Oh, ────."
Me, Rafilia and Reggie shouted.
I thought I knew the effects of the "Physical Penetrator," but I was surprised when I actually used it.
With an arrow just barely out of range, the five 'Wingrizzards' received a critical hit.
It really is a 'defense-disabling skill for demons only'.
Physical Penetrator, Physical Penetrator, LV1!
The skill to ignore the 'content' of the 'nearby demons'
You can select the 'contents' (bones, scales, muscles, etc.) that make up the body of a demon that comes into your sight, and then you can cast a weapon into it, assuming that it is 'not there'.
The weapon will penetrate the skin, scales, and bones, causing massive damage to blood vessels and internal organs.
"I ignored the lizard's 'scales and skin', 'bones' and 'muscles', you know.
You're saying that scales, muscles and bones can't stop it, right? It means it doesn't lose its momentum and just bites into your body. ......
"I'm sure they shot through blood vessels and hearts and other organs easily: ...... Raphilia's Arrow
As I said this, we shifted into a fighting stance again.
Rafilia nails her bow and I regain my grip on my magic sword, Leggy.
The number of "Wingrizzards" attacking the caravan is 6. Rafilia fired five arrows.
The remaining one is coming towards us.
"Pygiaa!
The Winglizard is shaking his head, looking for revenge on his friends.
But it's not looking at us. The Optical Camouflage is fully functional.
"The arrow must've seen where it came from. And at this distance...
"It's time for us, my Lord.
I nod to Reggie on my shoulder. I've already struck out with the magic sword.
Even with my arms, I should be able to at least hit it.
''Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Pee Gaaaah!
The Winglizard is coming down fast. But he's missing the point.
It's aiming right behind us.
Leaving us exposed to the unprotected, exposed wings and belly.
Let's go! Delayed Combat (Delayed Arts) x2, plus! 'Body Condition Change Slash [Condition Changer]!'
Bun.
The gigantic Demon Sword Reggie ripped through the body of the 'Winglizard'.
Shallow. But I didn't care and fired a second shot.
He struck out sixteen times, so the power is eight times the power of the split two.
The giant Leggy's blade now grazed the wing. Both of them are grazed.
And the next moment, a roulette appears in front of me.
The letters are spinning fast. Sleep," "Paralysis," "Fever," and "Fever" - the letters indicating the symptoms are replaced one after another.
Do I stop it?
"Reggie, push!
Okay. So, this is it, then!
Jumping from my shoulder, Reggie taps the roulette.
The letters stop with a snap.
I'm not going to be able to get it right.
"............ 'itch'?
"Pee Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Suddenly, 'Winglizard' fell to the ground.
''Pee Gah! Piggyaaaah!
He screams and scrapes his torso and wings against the ground.
Both are around where Reggie's blade grazed.
'Winglizard' has short limbs. It can't reach the torso or the wings.
So he just rolls around and rubs his body with grass and dirt. And in the same place all the time.
This is...
...... itchy?
No doubt.
...... Isn't that more evil than my skills? Master.
Condition Changer [Condition Change], LV4
The skill of "choosing" the "physical condition" of "suitability
Reggie changes the physical condition of the person he cut.
It has many symptoms, such as sleep, fever, and paralysis.
Since he's level 4, the effect is surprisingly strong.
It's an excellent product that can also be used for recovery if you pour in the Divine Force.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it by reading the following: ...... I didn't know there was such a thing as an 'itch'.
I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do with it.
And yet it's in this state. I'm not sure if it's a good idea for a newborn baby.
Its duration is ...... probably enough to last from a few dozen minutes. What is this skill? It's an ogre.
''Master. The caravan over there is approaching!
That's all the fuss we're making. Let's just get this over with and get out of here. Raphilia.
Yes?
Raphilia let loose with an arrow.
Sucker.
"............ Pigia.
The arrow that added the 'Physical Penetrator 《Physical Penetrator》' easily pierced the heart of the 'Winglizard'.
He pushed down the 'Mamono Mure'!
Therefore, we have to retreat immediately! Full speed ahead to the saint's labyrinth.
I've already sent a message to Aine and the others with 'Consciousness Sharing (Mind Linkage), Revised'.
At the end of the battle, everyone should be on the move.
Let's leave this place with our 'optical camouflage' intact. It's only a short distance to the sanctuary, so the caravans should be able to get there safely.
The little demon girl, the beastman girl and the maiden priestess are waiting for you.
I have to tell you about our skills.
Reggie and Raphilia's skills and the rebuilt 'Optical Camouflage Cloak' were more than a cheat.
As long as the two of them would protect my back, I could go to investigate the 'Demon Dragon Dungeon' without worry.
''I hope I can just end up sending the mermaid back to the sea.
Let's discuss that with the saintly lady.
There's no curse, and the Demon Dragon Dungeon doesn't exist, we were just doing a normal training program for new employees.
If that's the case, then we can return to the villa without any worries.
I hope that this incident will be over soon and that we can relax at the resort.
While hoping for this, we proceeded quickly.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The next day.
We were on our way to the saint's labyrinth, when we stopped in a grassy field.
We stopped at a meadow.
'A monster! Help me...!
It's because we heard a shout from where we were going.
"A... demon?
When I looked at the direction of the scream - what was that?
A long, thin creature is flying around in the air. I thought it was a flying dragon, but it was quite small. It's about one size larger than a large bat.

Maybe they're adjusting for infrared light or something.Okay, I'll be on my way.Raphilia's around here somewhere. We should wear the cloak together.He stretched out his hand and pulled the cloak up."Ma'am, Master. That's my skirt!I'm sorry. This way?"That's an ear ...... and that's a bum ...... and this way ...... come here.The grass moved in front of me, even though there was no wind.So that's within the range of the cloak. When I moved there...Nei-kun is gone! It's a great idea to hide your existence for at least two people. ...... I'm starting to get worried about you. I'm starting to get worried about ......, isn't it?Yeah. Okay, I'm off. You all follow me as you go around to avoid detection. If anything happens, I will contact you through the "consciousness-sharing program" and ask you to support me.Me and Raphilia walked out hand in hand.''Is that 'Winglizard'After about a hundred meters, we stopped.''Huowowowow!''"Hyggaaaaah!It was a winged lizard, literally, flying around screaming.It's not even a wyvern. It's a lizard about 1.5 meters long with bat wings.''Hui-yi-yi!''Hi!Get away from me!It's coming!The attack of the Winglizard is a swooping tail blow, claws and bites.The people on the ground - a small caravan of people - are all trying to get rid of the Winglizard.Guard adventurers. Do something!No!Arrow!I can't get my arrows through!Gakin.''Higagaga gaga gaga hahahahaha!The escort adventurers are shooting arrows into the air.But it only falls off after being flicked by the scales scales of the 'Winglizard'.If they had a wizard, they could handle it, but from the looks of it, it's a small-scale caravan, so maybe they didn't hire that kind of thing.''It's time for justice to be done, isn't it? Master.No. We're just experimenting with our skills.I said to Raphilia.'If the resulting stray arrows hit the 'Winglizard', well, it's just a coincidence.Hmm. Master is a bit shy, isn't he?...... stinks.'Okay. The master is a shy commander. And I'm his lieutenant, a righteous soldier!I'll ask you where that knowledge came from later: ...... Raphilia, can you target the demon from this position?The distance is just barely enough for the bow and arrow to hit.I can hit it. But it doesn't produce much power, you know?'I don't need the power. Just hit the soft parts .I see. I see. "Ignore the hard parts," isn't it? I see.Me and Raphilia look at each other and chuckle.Before I know it, Reggie has turned into a figure-sized version of himself and is perched on my shoulder.I'm sure we've all shared the concept of skills. I'm going to show you your skills, Elf girl!'Yes!Leggy-sama!While wearing the "Optical Camouflage Cloak", Rafilia held up her bow.My aim is to see a flying winged lizard in the sky. There are six of them.I've already figured out their attack pattern.Swooping down, attacking with their claws and tails, and now surging up. It would change its posture once in the air.That's when they would stop moving, so I'd aim for that moment...Rafilia, now!Activate!'Gououkyoujutsu' plus 'Physical Penetrator' - the target of penetration is the demon's 'scales and skin', 'muscles' and 'bones'!The sound of a bowstring yuzu was heard and five arrows were fired from Rafilia's hand.It flies straight toward the "Wingrizzard" that swarmed in the air.The distance is just barely enough. The power isn't much. Normally, it wouldn't be powerful enough to pierce the scales of a lizard.But that's just an ordinary... case.But that's not the case with us. And that's why...Puff. Gugiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! A scream went up.Raphilia's arrows had beautifully pierced the torso of the 'Wingrizzard'.Because the lizards were spitting out blue blood as they fell straight to the ground.''Hey, what the hell was that arrow?Someone helped me!'Where is the person who shot you?From an unseen position... a bow strong enough to pierce the scales of the Winglizard... how muscular is that?You're a brave man, aren't you?'An arrow through the body!Breaking through the scales and piercing the internal organs is a complete fatal wound ......, isn't it?""Oh, ."Me, Rafilia and Reggie shouted.I thought I knew the effects of the "Physical Penetrator," but I was surprised when I actually used it.With an arrow just barely out of range, the five 'Wingrizzards' received a critical hit.It really is a 'defense-disabling skill for demons only'.Physical Penetrator, Physical Penetrator, LV1!The skill to ignore the 'content' of the 'nearby demons'You can select the 'contents' bones, scales, muscles, etc. that make up the body of a demon that comes into your sight, and then you can cast a weapon into it, assuming that it is 'not there'.The weapon will penetrate the skin, scales, and bones, causing massive damage to blood vessels and internal organs."I ignored the lizard's 'scales and skin', 'bones' and 'muscles', you know.You're saying that scales, muscles and bones can't stop it, right?It means it doesn't lose its momentum and just bites into your body. ......"I'm sure they shot through blood vessels and hearts and other organs easily: ...... Raphilia's ArrowAs I said this, we shifted into a fighting stance again.Rafilia nails her bow and I regain my grip on my magic sword, Leggy.The number of "Wingrizzards" attacking the caravan is 6. Rafilia fired five arrows.The remaining one is coming towards us."Pygiaa!The Winglizard is shaking his head, looking for revenge on his friends.But it's not looking at us. The Optical Camouflage is fully functional."The arrow must've seen where it came from. And at this distance..."It's time for us, my Lord.I nod to Reggie on my shoulder. I've already struck out with the magic sword.Even with my arms, I should be able to at least hit it.''Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!Pee Gaaaah!The Winglizard is coming down fast. But he's missing the point.It's aiming right behind us.Leaving us exposed to the unprotected, exposed wings and belly.Let's go!Delayed Combat Delayed Arts x2, plus!'Body Condition Change Slash Condition Changer!'Bun.The gigantic Demon Sword Reggie ripped through the body of the 'Winglizard'.Shallow. But I didn't care and fired a second shot.He struck out sixteen times, so the power is eight times the power of the split two.The giant Leggy's blade now grazed the wing. Both of them are grazed.And the next moment, a roulette appears in front of me.The letters are spinning fast. Sleep," "Paralysis," "Fever," and "Fever" - the letters indicating the symptoms are replaced one after another.Do I stop it?"Reggie, push!Okay. So, this is it, then!Jumping from my shoulder, Reggie taps the roulette.The letters stop with a snap.I'm not going to be able to get it right."............ 'itch'?"Pee Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!Suddenly, 'Winglizard' fell to the ground.''Pee Gah!Piggyaaaah!He screams and scrapes his torso and wings against the ground.Both are around where Reggie's blade grazed.'Winglizard' has short limbs. It can't reach the torso or the wings.So he just rolls around and rubs his body with grass and dirt. And in the same place all the time.This is......... itchy?No doubt....... Isn't that more evil than my skills?Master.Condition Changer Condition Change, LV4The skill of "choosing" the "physical condition" of "suitabilityReggie changes the physical condition of the person he cut.It has many symptoms, such as sleep, fever, and paralysis.Since he's level 4, the effect is surprisingly strong.It's an excellent product that can also be used for recovery if you pour in the Divine Force.I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it by reading the following: ...... I didn't know there was such a thing as an 'itch'.I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do with it.And yet it's in this state. I'm not sure if it's a good idea for a newborn baby.Its duration is ...... probably enough to last from a few dozen minutes. What is this skill? It's an ogre.''Master. The caravan over there is approaching!That's all the fuss we're making. Let's just get this over with and get out of here. Raphilia.Yes?Raphilia let loose with an arrow.Sucker."............ Pigia.The arrow that added the 'Physical Penetrator Physical Penetrator' easily pierced the heart of the 'Winglizard'.He pushed down the 'Mamono Mure'!Therefore, we have to retreat immediately!Full speed ahead to the saint's labyrinth.I've already sent a message to Aine and the others with 'Consciousness Sharing Mind Linkage, Revised'.At the end of the battle, everyone should be on the move.Let's leave this place with our 'optical camouflage' intact. It's only a short distance to the sanctuary, so the caravans should be able to get there safely.The little demon girl, the beastman girl and the maiden priestess are waiting for you.I have to tell you about our skills.Reggie and Raphilia's skills and the rebuilt 'Optical Camouflage Cloak' were more than a cheat.As long as the two of them would protect my back, I could go to investigate the 'Demon Dragon Dungeon' without worry.''I hope I can just end up sending the mermaid back to the sea.Let's discuss that with the saintly lady.There's no curse, and the Demon Dragon Dungeon doesn't exist, we were just doing a normal training program for new employees.If that's the case, then we can return to the villa without any worries.I hope that this incident will be over soon and that we can relax at the resort.While hoping for this, we proceeded quickly.
