[Predicament]

“W-what! Something suddenly came out!”

“It’s an earth golem! Gofu——”

“O-oi! Are you okay! Geha——”

The huge earth golem created by Cinzia mows down the beastmen who were trying to chase after Marco with its big hand.

It seems that she is going easy so that the opponents don’t die, but to take a blow of that thing, I feel that they won’t get off lightly even if their armors are solid.

“I’ll stop the pursuing beastmen, so go and bring Marco back, Frick.”

Having descended from Diedur, the full body armor – which is Cinzia’s real body – gets on the earth golem’s shoulder that she made herself and begins to rampage further.

“Cinzia-sama, please keep it in moderation. If you are too violent——wait, it’s too late, isn’t it.”

“It IS too late, y’know. The lot of the mine must have completely regard you as an accomplice after all.”

I just came to rescue Marco though…

In this situation, it can’t be helped if they think that I, who is following Marco, come to get into the mine.

“Anyway, please don’t injure too many people. Dimol will help you retreat if it gets dangerous, so at that time, please escape obediently. I’m counting on you for that, Dimol.”

“Kuee!”

“Yes, ye—s. I’ll properly pull my punches.”

Having told Cinzia that much, I jump down from Dimol, straddle Diedur’s back, and gallop into the passage Marco entered.

The passage I got into into seems to made use of the abandoned mine of the old mine, as I can glimpse tunnels here and there, but inside the passage, there are illuminations that I had never seen before put along the way toward the exit.

I know that the lot of the mines are foreigners but…

Even so, it seems they do use a completely never-seen before technology.

Linus-shi said that in the end, he couldn’t find out how to use the cylindrical objects that the Abyss Walkers had.

Looking at the illumination inside the passage, I remember that the Abyss Walkers we fought near the Abyss Hole had weapons with tremendous offensive power.

Eventually, I can see the end of the passage and go through it.

When I did, the appearance of the village where the miners working in the mine live and the fortress where the foreigners seem to live, in a palisade built on the inside of the gap between two steep mountains, jump into my eyes.

“So this is why I couldn’t see the appearance of the settlement from the sky.”

At the same time as I was collecting information, I rode Dimol and scouted the Rahaman mine from a considerable altitude just once.

However, at that time, I couldn’t identify the location of the new mine or the location of that kind of fortress.

“Bruhihiin!”

Diedur neighs to scold me who is spacing out at the exit.

In front, Marco, who went ahead, has already gotten off his horse and is crossing swords with some guys wearing white robes.

“Marco-dono!!”

Marco, who seems to have noticed my voice, raise his hand as if telling me not to come.

This is not a situation where I cannot come, right?

The number of his opponents is close to 20.

“Dayle, Diedur! Sorry, but it’s going to get violent, so please help me!”

[I-it’s my turn, isn’t it!? I will do my best! First, ■▲〇※■▲〇※!]

Dayle, who is pulled out of her scabbard, raises her fighting spirit and chants some sort of magic.

[I learned the knack from Cinzia-sama. How is it? Don’t you think it looks the spitting image of you?]

It seems that the magic that Dayle chanted was Summon Golem, and it is finished in a form that perfectly copied my appearance.

The craftmanship is better than the golem I made.

I wonder if Dayle is surprisingly artist-ish.

“It’s certainly the spitting image of me. If you put a cloak on it and hide its face——wait, we don’t have time to talk about that. Let’s go.”

[Even like this, it got praised so much by Noelia-sama you know~.]

“Bruhihiin.”

Diedur follows my instruction and rushes to Marco.

The earth golem created by Dayle is also running along after us.

“Marco-dono!”

In front of Marco, who has been crossing swords with the guys in white robes, I cut in with the giant Diedur.

Diedur crashes against the approaching white robed guys and throw out a kick to keep them away.

“Please don’t stop me, Frick-dono! These guys have killed my friends and daughter…!”

I can’t find words to say to Marco who is screaming as the flames of hatred dwelling in his eyes.

[Master, I will have it rampage over there for the time being.]

“Ahh, thanks, please do.”

Seeing me confused about how to handle Marco, Dayle plunge the golem she created into the group of white robed people.

“We’ve been ordered not to let anyone who has trespassed in here alive! Wake the Abyss Walkers up immediately!”

“Understood. I will prepare the activation right away!”

A man at the top of the fortress, who is covering even his face with a white cloth, is the guy who is running this mine, huh.

I heard the words – wake the Abyss Walkers up, so as expected, it seems that there is no doubt that the foreigners in this mine are using Abyss Walkers.

However, if a large number of those Abyss Walkers comes out now…

The uproar has become so loud already; not only the people in white robes but also the beastmen working in the mine surrounds me and Marco with pickaxes in their hands.
