"――Ah !? Don't listen to that story!"

next morning. I was a little confused.

It all started at midnight yesterday. I was asleep at the inn, and was suddenly woken up by a man of a guard knight who came to me, and was instructed to "perform my mission under the command of the Imperial soldiers in front of the Grease Dungeon."

I don't know what the task is, but it says that it can be used to learn the "knowledge of a guard knight".

That's why I'm going to the meeting place I've been listening to early in the morning, but ... Ossan, the most likely of the nearly twenty soldiers, tells me with a great sword curtain, "Don't listen!" I was saying.

"I haven't heard the story? Is that so?" "Rimeme! It's a big mistake if you think anything will be what Temee and I think! Come back!" "What?" "Lusepei! What do I do to protect my squad!"

This ossan seems to be the captain.

Oh, that's it. Do you think I can take over my squad?

The soldiers said, "That's right!" And even those who were previously bearish, with the captain, said, "Go home!"

Somehow, I feel they have their character.

"I'm OK, I'm safe. It's only today, only today." "It's only today? I'm not joking!" "I'm not joking.

When I asked, the soldiers opened their mouths and solidified, and the captain tongue-tipped before talking.

"I don't feel relieved to know that I didn't even know my mission. I couldn't be helped. I don't even know the characters on the spot-I'm not a young man-I won't leave the command of dangerous dungeons. "

surprised. I thought it was just a bad temper, but what I'm saying is really right.

The soldiers around are just as simple as saying, "Yes, the captain said," but this captain wouldn't be the only one.

Indeed, the knowledge of the Knights of the Guards ... In other words, I wanted to show you enough power to put together the rough guys of this field principle.

"Oh, so let's do this. You give me." "... Huh?" "I'm sure it'll be useful. How about?" "No ... Teme sanity? Konishi knight? … "

I'm stunned by Ossan.

I can't help it. I can't even tell you my mission, so I have to keep up.

"I'm going to do my job first. I'm saying the right person in the right place. You said that, don't you want to move under my command, who doesn't know the scene?" "That's right." I'm your subordinate. This would be perfect. Captain, give me instructions. "

When I say so, the captain gives a stunned expression for a while, then laughs with his nose and breaks silence.

"Hey, idiot. My squad was yelling at me, I'm not waiting for the instructions." "Is that so. But I don't know what to do, so I can't help." "Would you tell me your mission? Don't get in that hand." "No, so take me out with a shout."

Once again, the captain silenced with a embarrassed face.

"... Hey, it's quite strange. Is it really a guard knight?" "What about?" "Hah! Shape, it's special. I'll take you specially. Hey, "Oh, I see."

Alright, you're going to take me. That's all you need to know your mission.

The time limit is tomorrow morning until we meet Prince Wright. That is about 24 hours later.

What kind of mission is the aim of the variant? Capture of the second class dungeon "Grease"? No, it's so many people, there's no reason to be so slimy. What do you do if you use twenty imperial soldiers?

The grease dungeon boss "King Salekoube" and its variant "Masked Salekoube" appear to replace the boss with a 4% chance. It is a strategy that a large number of people go around efficiently and hunt subspecies, aiming for rare drops.

Well, how many rare drop chances of Masked Salekoube? I think it was about 10%, but ... no, it's surprising that people who don't remember the exact numbers. Anyway, let's hope he will be there within 24 hours.

"Hey, what weapon do you use?" "Anything" "Hey, anything ... anything?"

I was seen with frightened eyes.

"Hey, are you going?" "No. "You know well. Yes. Grease comes with a flying skull, so six go with a shield, eight go with a spear, and five go with a bow." "Hmm. "I am also a bow"

Catch it with a shield, put it together with a spear, and the bow gives off fire.

Pushing with a shield, breaking through with a spear, and a bow assisted?

“…………”

No, let's do it. I am not welcome.

For one time, only one battle. Let them do what they want. Then suggest improvements. By the end of the fight, I'm sure they will listen to me.

"Okay, then, go on!" Don't do it! Disrupt the platoon! "

I like it, platoon. So was a certain court magic division. Do civil servants generally like formations?

"Well, I'm behind you. I'll be with you."

I got scolded. Don't remind me of elementary school.

"Yes, just as you say it."

Such a grease dungeon.

* * *

So last night I told me not to drink. Thanks to them, I noticed those troublesome guys.

By the way, such a playful guy comes.

He's a guard knight, so he doesn't know the frightening grease dungeon, but he doesn't seem timid at all.

How many soldiers have challenged so far, and how many of them have not returned?

At last my turn ... This man appeared as he was thinking about how to fulfill his mission and return home while keeping everyone alive.

To be honest, I am grateful for the increase in labor.

Aside from his playful attitude, this man is a guard knight. It will be better than ours.

However, if you are used to the site, it should not be.

He knew he knew it, and he chose bow support.

As expected, it should be called an elite right on the career road, or a calm judgment that does not depend on emotions.

No, wait ... wouldn't any other guard knight make such a decision? The answer is no. The Knights of the Guard who I have met so far have generally been poorly trained and have no practical experience of arguing overlooking our soldiers and arranging desk theory.

In this case, he must have taken the lead and forcibly disposable, like a consumable.

This non-conservative knight, Tokuyo Toku, has been studying the grease dungeon boss with me and trying to take his credit, but maybe there is another purpose. The atmosphere was different from other guard knights.

I'm not really like a guard knight. No matter how rude I am, this man does not move one eyebrow. This is obviously unnatural.

A hardcore idiot or a great big guy ... well, the former.

-And I was wrong.

Shortly after entering the dungeon, I noticed this man's anomaly.

One blow kill. With unseen skills that combine bow and magic, he buryes Wing Sale Kobe one after another.

When the soldiers finally defeated the two Wing Salekoubes with nineteen men, the man had also defeated thirteen bodies, including the monsters behind and behind them.

""

I can only say it.

I didn't speak at all.

"Captain?" "Oh, oh, I'm sorry."

Return to me in the voice of a soldier. I seemed to have stood for a while with my mouth open, even forgetting to issue the command.

"...?"

He glanced at the man and found that he was standing with a simple face, conscious of the law and not disturbing the ranks.

... Sure, this guy wouldn't have any problems going ahead alone. Rather, it was a bow handling that made me think that I could capture alone. I know it from bowing. This bow is extraordinary.

「――Tsu!」

Suddenly, this man's words are recalled.

He said it was only today. Certainly, with the help of this man, you can reach the boss only today.

He said that it would be useful. Sure, useful. On the contrary, he can safely investigate the boss.

He told me to use me. Yes, I am following my instructions. It does not disturb the platoon. Don't say any of the complaints. Despite this ability.

What is this man? I don't think it's the same as those arrogant and elite conscious guard knights.

"Hey, hey!" "What's going on?" "I'll teach you my mission." "Okay, don't be refreshed."

That's not to say ... well, whimsical, whimsical. I decided to teach him the duties.

"This is the mission of the Prime Minister." "Is it possible to say that you do not know Mr. Prime Minister Shigarone Elebni?"

It's a totally outrageous guy. Perhaps I made a joke to distract soldiers who were confused about teaching their duties. In fact, everyone laughs and says, "Hehe." It's just simple guys. Even so, I agree that it is tempting to speak of the Prime Minister.

"The Minister of Justice says that the boss of the grease dungeon seems to be a strange guy sometimes. It is his duty to investigate the characteristics of that guy." "What, masked sale koube. Twice every 25 times It is a variant that appears in

"That?"

Do you know! ?

"And then, I guess ..."

No matter how stupid this guy is, that bow-handling cannot lie. That's why I have no choice but to believe this word.

"I'll ask you a trial, is there a way to safely defeat that Nanchara subspecies?" Doesn't work "I'm sure I'll get one to one, but the easiest thing is." "Ah, it's scary at first, but if you don't move, you won't do anything. "

If you really have to move and you can't attack, is that tactic the easiest and safest one?

"Isn't the variant the same? The boss is the same?" "Riaa ..." "No, it's not enough. HP and VIT are not enough with these guys. I will endure two shots. The third shot is dangerous."

The bloody soldiers shouted, "What?", But I couldn't believe that this man was lying. The squadron who reported reaching the boss was exhausted, but returned with no shield. It seemed to me that it had escaped from life.

"I'm so foolish, I'm sorry you're crazy! Use your head calmly. What this guy says, I guess it's definitely a mistake. Then I have one thing to do." "Captain!" "Oh, no way."

Considering everyone's safety, of course.

"Oh my god, can you take command of this squad?"

――After that, it was just angry.

"Wing Sale Kobe has a narrow search range among flying monsters. The first line of the line where you can launch a first strike before you are noticed is about 15 meters, well about this place. Remember with a bodily sensation. Aim the spear at the counter of the gold general spear, the shield at the pearl of the silver general shield, don't put your hand on the bow, it will be an irregular movement if you hit one more during the charge. Use the most powerful archery skills after the shield has responded. ''

It's like a department store of knowledge! The Guard Knight knew he was smart, but he was so terrible that he could be the only one who knew more about dungeons.

There is also a talent for conducting. I can see the surroundings well. That means you can afford it.

And above all, the tempo is good. If you have no time to get lost, you will defeat monsters and bangs without thinking. It was not only this man, but also some that accompany this man.

But that was good. I didn't think too much, I didn't spend too much time being cautious, and I was able to concentrate on just what was right before I was exhausted.

This guy isn't alone. On the way, I was worried and asked,

"Oh my god, when did you become a guard knight?" "Yesterday" "Yesterday !?"

I have no choice but to be stunned.

It's a joke to call your Highness that way, but it's about this man, to some extent true.

But I'm convinced. My intuition says: This guy is a man who is a very close guard knight.

"It's an honor to be able to give my hand to such a lady ..." "What did you say?" "No, nothing."

In this condition, after investigating Masked Salekoube and returning to the Imperial City, this man will be highly valued by His Excellency. His Excellency has a terrible personality, but those who can work are useful.

Surely, this man who has just become a guard knight must be successful. I'm so grateful for helping me out of such a guy, and I can be proud of it.

"Okay, scatter!" "Oh!"

How many times did he go? Was it four laps with this?

No way, we didn't think we could get through the grease dungeon so easily.

I honestly say. I am impressed.

Only one difference. A dungeon that couldn't be satisfactorily captured, with or without this man, would be so easy and safe.

There were terrible guys in the world. As a person who has been doing field work for a long time, there is no reason to be impressed by this.

"Well, this time it was King Sale Kobe again." "Omeya says it's twenty-fifty-fifth? Sha-nee-yo," "Well, then another round."

The instructions were very simple, as you can tell from a clever guy.

Once in the boss area, never move until you are told to do so. That's it.

If it is said to be scattered, it will scatter. So, King Salekoube is heading towards this immobile man, and he is severely turned back.

And another round.

It's so easy that those who have struggled in the past become silly.

... That's why. We were a bit less nervous.

"--Freeze!"

Finally, the time has come.

Masked Salekoube-A giant flying skull with a shabby, fresh skin mask.

"Ugh ...!"

Awful, what is this ...!

There were so many fears that gastric juices were flowing in some subordinates.

Hair color is too different. King Salekoube is just a skull with a crown on it, and there was no such eerie.

However, this masked sale is ... too creepy. It is impossible to see such a thing and be scared.

"U, u, wow!"

Zun! He inadvertently retreated to the masked sale Kobe, approaching at a terrible speed, and stepped down to the ground as if one of his subordinates unplugged.

"Ah, ah"

I can hear a man's disappointed voice.

Yes, it has moved. He didn't follow his instructions.

"... hi ..."

Masked Salekobe aims at a subordinate who has a buttocks on the floor.

I was at a loss. Should I Help or Follow the Instructions?

But in the moment I was so lost, the man had already taken action.

"Yeah, right!"

When the man cancels the [magic] that he was preparing without moving, he stands in front of the soldier who stood in a closed position, and immediately started preparing for "Gold General Archery".

Then, when ready, it will be activated, knock back Masked Salekobe, and what to prepare for pursuit-

"!?"

Oh, [body art] or ...! ?

I saw what I saw was a bodily surgeon, accelerating and approaching violently as if arriving at the Masked Salekobe approaching here, and screwing my fist in the middle.

"U, oh!"

A shock that shakes the ground. It must have been a very powerful skill.

Then, that man is preparing something [magic] just like Todome.

However, even if Masked Salekoube gets up from the down and comes close to it, he is still trying to shoot that magic.

How much does it attract? About ten seconds later, he suddenly activated magic.

"Well-- !?"

Dazzling flash. At the next moment, the shock came as if it had exploded even in the sun. Of course, you can't stand.

Oh, definitely not. Here, that spooky skull blew away. There is no trace. I can't stand such a thing.

"... Hey, he's dead, let's raise his hand." "Captain ... you're not dead ...?" "This is not hell."

When the light and blast subside, we rise slowly.

So I saw a strange thing.

"Look at it! It's one shot! You've probably subtracted 10%!"

With that gleeful expression, he came close here with an item that the Guardian knight, probably the masked Salekoube, would have dropped.

Rather than angry at the soldiers who couldn't keep the instructions to move and put everyone at risk, look at it anyway and say that with a boyish smile.

"This, this is ... what? ..." "The dreadful mask. Well, it's accessory equipment. It has the effect of adding a certain level of abnormal" dreadiness "to attacks with a certain probability."

I picked it up and gently observed it.

This guy ... I was surprised. It's an awesome item. Perhaps the tens of millions of market prices will not fall.

This must be what the Prime Minister wanted. Great! This guy must be a big success.

I was surprised from the bottom of my heart, but soon after, I was even more surprised.

"I'm glad I did my job.

“……… !?”

What, he just tried to return.

The horrifying mask is at my fingertips. In other words, he does not intend to take this terrible credit back to the Imperial City.

I thought it was a joke, but it was different. The man is really going home without hesitation.

This man, really, really, didn't tell a lie from start to finish.

...... Do you need your credit? Are you sure you want to give it to me? Is that possible?

No, not normally. It's stupid, but it doesn't help.

Well, I'm just helping a soldier who doesn't want to be all day long.

He helped us responsibly until the very end of the mission. Isn't it just that?

It would be nice to not let a man who can do that get credit for me ...

"Hey, wait!"

When I stopped desperately, the man looked back with a drowsy expression.

"Oh my name is" "Seven"

Yes, seven?

Good name. Eventually, it is the name of a man who will be at the heart of the empire.

Finally found. I am the one who can serve me with all my consent.

I look at the nineteen men. Everyone seems to have the same idea. He nodded hot. Haha ... It's just simple guys ...

"--Sir Seven. Twenty of us, I swear loyalty to you. No matter what, we are stupid. want to become"
