“You’re late!”

“Sorry! I’ll take your shift right away!”

By the time I returned, it was a few minutes past the scheduled shift change time.

I apologized lightly to them and quickly took over.

I then began to support them, and even by myself, I had no problem using my magic and physical attacks. However, a change in the hunt occurred shortly after the date changed.

“Haa…… haa…”

“Haa…haa…”

Shana and Carina’s movements became visibly slower. Shana is hardly using her magic anymore. Carina blinked unusually often.

If you thought about it for a minute, you would have figured it out. Shana doesn’t have an almost inexhaustible magic power like me and Sophie. If Carina used her magic eye, which she had hardly used up to now, she would be overburdened if she used it repeatedly.

Did everyone realize that? No…I don’t think it’s possible that they didn’t notice.

“Ah…”

Did I listen to everyone’s opinion? I only listened to Sophie’s idea and thought about it on my own. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. But that’s only if I had the power to lead. Even including my previous life, I’m not the oldest person in this group because Elira is here.

I have very little experience as a leader, regardless of my age. No…I was a leader during the inter-school competition. But it was also rare that the operation went as planned. Besides, the more important times, like the battle against the dragon demon with Elira and the time when I got the spirits back from the heroes, the more the strategy failed.

“Yug.”

“Yes.”

I took out Yug and handed over the magic power. Then I asked her to prepare the magic.

““Teleportation.””

“Nn…”

“Uh…”

Then, with the magic prepared by Yug, I teleported Shana and Carina to the vicinity of Sophie and Elira, who were inside the lightning barrier.

“Lightning Swarm.”

I had deactivated the descent of the spirit Zeal when I supported the two, so I chanted and used the spirit magic.

Lightning swarm is a magic that drops huge balls of lightning indiscriminately like a meteor shower. Even if I use it normally, it consumes enough to reduce my MP to zero in one shot. Now that most of the monsters were gone, I returned to the barrier.

“Well, that’s it for Shana and Carina.”

“I’m sorry, I’ve made some pretty unreasonable plans. You can get some rest now.”

I wasn’t thinking about the two of them. I chose to hunt at night because it seemed more efficient and doable.

“I can still fight.”

Shanna said and stood up. But she’s still out of breath, and I don’t think she can do it.

“The two of you and Nii-sama can rest here. I and Elira will go hunting for now. Elira you’re okay with that, right?”

“No problem at all.”

After saying that, the two of them went out of the barrier. They went towards the monsters that were still coming.

“Yug, can’t you make a magic that can restore their strength?”

“It’s not impossible, but it’s not worth Zero-kun’s fatigue and the amount of recovery, so you shouldn’t do it, okay?”

I asked Yug if she could restore the two of them, buts she said it would be difficult, and that if I restored them to their normal state, I would collapse and pass out. If I pass out in this situation, the barrier would disappear. So I couldn’t do that.

“Zeros…I have one more level to go. One more level and I can catch up to you two. I don’t want you to get any further ahead of me…let me go over there.”

Shana squeezed my hand and said.

I thought about what to do. Shana would be able to evolve by one more level. After five hours of fighting with such a large army of monsters, she might be able to reach that level. But in other words, it was that hard. Even with our support, this pace is too fast.

Shana can read our minds. So it doesn’t matter how I try to make things up. Even without that, I want to be honest with Shana, who is my friend. So I decided to tell Shana what I was honestly thinking.

“I couldn’t let you go there now. If you go there in such a state, you will not be able to fight immediately. So, take a good rest now, and as soon as you really think you can fight for the rest of the time, you can go.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll go now.”

Shana let go of my hand and started to walk out of the barrier. This time I grabbed Shana’s arm and pulled her lightly.

“Whoa…”

I pulled Shana’s arm lightly and she almost collapsed. I supported her so that she wouldn’t fall.

“Look, you’re wobbly. We’re not going to leave you behind. You don’t have to be in such a hurry.”

“I won’t forgive you if you leave me behind.”

Shana then lay down, closed her eyes, and began to rest.

“Carina…”

“Sooooo…”

I tried to ask Carina who was silent the whole time if she could go again after resting, but Carina was exhausted and was already asleep.

Everyone agreed with my plan for this night’s hunt. That’s no reason not to listen to everyone’s opinions. In order to lead everyone well, I will listen to everyone more carefully from now on.
