195 Episode 195 "Slave Girl (and Best Friend) Adventurer Rescue Strategy + Romantic Comedy Reference Plan (Part 1)".txt

I was at the Adventurers' Guild.

The quest to defeat the demons that have appeared on the deserted island has been ordered by another party, correct?

The guild's receptionist flipped through a piece of parchment, "This is the Guild of Adventurers' Recreation Area Michelin.

This is the adventurer's guild of "Resort Micheline".

Aine and Letitia came here in a hurry to get information about the demons on the uninhabited island.

''There is a record of a boat going to the island a few days ago. There's no doubt about it.''

So you're saying that the adventurers have already started to take them out?

'Yes, sir. Perhaps they should have started fighting.

In response to Aine's question, the guild's receptionist nodded.

At her words, Aine patted her chest, with a hint of relief.

''It was good to see you at .......''

This should give Aine peace of mind, right?

Thank you Leticia. Now, by the time Naya-kun comes back, the demons will be gone, and we can go on vacation without worrying.

But you're late getting home from the ...... party.

The guild's receptionist murmured, mumbling.

''We went out to defeat them three days ago, so it's about time we came back: ......

'Oh my God!　A party headed for a deserted island has gone missing!

Suddenly, a shout went up at the entrance of the guild.

The one who entered was a muscular man with a bare upper body.

He wears a headband and has a tattoo on his arm that says 'Great Fishery Excellent'. He was a fisherman from the resort town of Mishlila.

I've sent a group of adventurers to a deserted island on my boat, but they didn't show up for their appointment at ...... at the appointed time," he said. They haven't even touched the replenishment rations that I've left on the beach. In fact, there are demons on the beach as well. I can only assume that ...... has happened to them. ......

Request for help!　Hasn't the 'light' magic gone up!

I only saw it once. Five at a time, over a forest.

'It's a signal to your fellow ...... partygoers. It means, 'Give your life much thought.'

You'll have to wait a minute.

Leticia raised her hand.

She waits for the receptionist and the fisherman to nod and then begins to speak.

'Releasing a signal into the sky for our friends means that ...... that party of adventurers are in no direct contact with each other. Doesn't that mean they are ...... dusty?

And 'Taking Care of Your Life' is ...... a state where you have to think only about surviving.

Aine took over Letitia's words.

The receptionist and the fisherman opened their eyes.

A silence fell on the adventurers' guild.

The adventurers in the guild must have understood the meaning of the words.

It meant that the party that was headed to the island was in danger of losing their lives. It also means that if they don't go to the rescue immediately, there is a possibility of total destruction.

...... I can't stay like this.

Aine's forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

It's an emergency. We have to go and rescue that party now.

We have to rescue them and bring them back to their retreat safely. Otherwise, their lives are in danger. We can't just leave them to die.

If they were to lose their lives, ...... everything would be over.

(Because ............ there is no way you can make out with NaKun on the island where the bodies of the adventurers are located!

This is not the time to be picking a means to an end.

If someone dies on a deserted vacation island, Aine's plans will be ruined. I prepared the swimsuit and the Horned Serpent's Dried Meat, and now I'm screwed.

There's no way I'm going to allow that to happen.

...... will soon issue a 'rescue quest' funded by the guild!　Maybe the demons were stronger than I imagined. So, but ...... there is no such thing as a party that can move quickly ......

"Yes.

Letitia and Aine raised their hands at the same time.

''Hmm?'' Huh?

Laetitia and Aine look at each other as they react in perfect harmony.

''As a righteous nobleman, I can't just leave the party in danger.

Aine wants to save those people's lives.

I don't have much power, but I'm sure I can get the party off the island.

'I'm going to use all of Aine's power to get those people off the island.

I don't want to save everyone. I just want to reduce the damage of the crisis that surrounds me, as much as possible!

'Yes. The damage to the place where Aine finds out everything about her master should be reduced!

Aine!

Letitia!

Gash.

Aine and Leticia clasped their hands tightly together.

''Will you cooperate with us?　Aine.

Of course, this is all for the sake of privacy.

...... There's something wrong with your tone of voice.

It's your fault.

............ is kind of preoccupied, isn't it?　Aine.

It's really my fault. Oh, yes, receptionist. I need information on the party on the island. I'm in a hurry anyway. I need to know who I'm supposed to be helping.

Okay.

Under Aine's sharp gaze, the receptionist straightens up with a jolt.

She looks into the parchment at hand, shaking her shoulders.

''There are six adventurers going to the desert island. Three males and three females. They each seem to have their own set of circumstances.''

"Circumstances?

'Yes. A merchant's daughter and an adventurer who has fallen in love with her and is eloping. The third son of a nobleman and the half-elf who doesn't approve of me getting along with him. The new knight who is training because he was told to give his daughter to me if I beat him, and the knight's daughter who ran away from home to help him. These are the three groups of good friends at this party.

Since they all have similar backgrounds, they all seem to have hit it off with each other and formed a party.

""...... I see,"

And the demons on this island...

While listening to the receptionist, Aine was thinking about it.

There are three pairs of lovers on the uninhabited island. Moreover, they are surrounded by demons and are unable to leave the island.

Perhaps their hearts are strongly tied in the face of the ...... crisis. If that's the case...

(...... might be helpful.)

Aine doesn't know much about romantic situations. It's because all she did was work for the 'Commoner's Guild' all her life. I've never been involved in the kind of love stories that girls of my age do. I'm not sure how to get a ...... master and ...... how to get into a "good mood".

But now, on a deserted island, there are three sets of lovers.

Elopement. Different races. Different races. There are many variations.

Maybe ...... their way of doing things in a crisis might be helpful. ......

...... aine?

Oh, yes. Yeah. I get it.

Do you understand?　Demons are mainly sea creatures and are quite large in size, you know?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know. Don't worry, I'll take it from there.

Aine nodded, giggling.

"We don't waste any of our knowledge and experience," she said. For the future of Aine and your master.

A few hours later. A deserted island...

'You!　Get away from me!　It's coming!

The young swordsman swung his two-handed sword right beside him.

There was a hard clunking sound. The sword was easily flicked off by the demon's skin.

Still, it was effective in making the enemy flinch. In the meantime, he pulled away from his friends and ran towards the high ground.

'Duh, it's okay. I'll protect you.''

...... Ugh, yeah. I believe you.

The luggage carrier girl looked at the young man with a twinkle in her eye.

He, a fledgling adventurer, and she, the daughter of a great merchant, had first met in the commercial city of Metekal six months ago now.

When they first exchanged glances, it was as if an electric current ran through her entire body.

Two weeks later they confirmed their feelings for each other; they had asked the merchant for permission to associate with him, but he refused. Instead, the merchant's daughter, the merchant's daughter, even offered her an urgent marriage proposal.

It was only a few days later that he took her hand in hand and ran away.

I work every day as a baggage carrier (porter) for him, a swordsman, but I never thought of it as a hardship.

Just being able to be with him like this was happy enough for her.

'Here they come!　Hurry. Beyond these woods!

Uh-uh!

The girl clambered up the hill, carrying her bags.

'Piiiiiiiiiiii!　Kiiiiiiiiiiii ────!

Something huge is approaching from behind them.

It was a flattened demon with crimson skin.

Numerous spikes sprouted from the bottom of its body. The last thing you want is for those spikes to point at your body and drain your body fluids. The size of the enemy is about the size of a hut. It was not an opponent that one swordsman could compete with.

''If you can ...... at least join the rest of your friends ......

The swordsman boy looked around.

This was a hill in the middle of an uninhabited island. It was surrounded by tall trees.

As soon as he landed, he was attacked by a demon and his party of friends was crapped out. A few days ago, we saw the "Give Life to the Devil" signal, but we haven't heard anything since.

Even if we try to look for them, the swordsman and the merchant girl have been spotted by a giant demon. If they joined up, they would be putting their friends in danger.

If that happened, it would leave a stain on their future as adventurers.

''You persistent bastard!　'Giant Starfish'!

The swordsman youth shouted, holding a two-handed sword in his hand.

''Kiiiiiiiiiiii!''

A giant starfish crawls through the trees as if answering the call.

The Giant Starfish

A giant starfish over 5 meters long.

It moves at high speed by moving its numerous spines under its body.

It fights its prey by stabbing its prey with its spines and sucking out their fluids. The spikes have a paralyzing venom that makes it impossible for him to escape if he is caught.

He is extremely vindictive.

The sword can't penetrate its outer skin. The only way to do it is to crawl into the belly and rip out the spines and the internal organs.

The young man clutched his two-handed sword.

He shielded the merchant girl who was catching up with him on her back and faced the giant starfish.

The giant starfish twisted its body and came straight at us. Trees and bumps in the ground are no obstacle to the mollusks. The only thing they fear is their natural enemy, the Horned Serpent, whose paralysis poison doesn't work.

Listen to me. In a few moments, we'll be in range of theirs.

The swordsman youth looked at the merchant girl and said.

''The 'Giant Starfish' can create an opening when it eats the enemy. The spiky ventral side would allow the sword to pass through. I'll stab it in the gut as it leans on me. When I give the signal, you'll run to the beach. If you're lucky, the fisherman will be able to find you!

No!

But the merchant girl shook her head.

'I told you!　When you run away from your father, he will never let me go for life. He says I'll die and live with you!

I also said I'd make you happy!

'I think I'll be happy when you're dead!

I got you into this mess and I'm responsible for it. And I want to take full responsibility for that.

'Why are you giving up?　Is that what your thoughts are about?　Let's stay together. I don't know if we'll win, but we'll be together until the end...

"It's ......, but ...... I am!

...... There's something I haven't been able to tell you for a long time. Listen. I'm me. ......

Poof.

"...... huh? "Geary?

The swordsman and the merchant girl, the Giant Starfish, screamed out.

Suddenly, the forest was filled with the sound of water.

Neither the two of them nor the demons noticed.

A large mass of water flew through the trees and burst above the Giant Starfish.

''Success. The 'Water Ball' of the 'Attribute Change 《Elemental Changer》' exploded at the planned position!

'Then go. Cecil, I want you to fire two more rounds of the regular version.

Yes!

Splash. Splash.

"Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Flying balls of water wet the 'Giant Starfish'.

''-Excuse me.''

A maid comes running out of the forest, mingling with the sound of water.

If you look closely, you can see that a huge puddle has formed underneath the feet of the "Giant Starfish". It's brown, muddy water mixed with the soil on the ground.

Another adventurer tugs on the shoulders of a young swordsman and a merchant girl who are staring at it. They are a girl with beast ears and a blue-haired warrior. The two leave as they are pulled away, "Come this way because it's dangerous.

The maid who confirmed this shoves a mop into the muddy water and murmurs in a whisper.

'It's activated. ''Sewage Increase (Osui Zoka) LV2.''

In the next moment, a crack appeared in the outer skin of the "Giant Starfish" - a crack.

"Piggyaaaaaaaahhhhh ────!

The Giant Starfish screams out.

The spikes on his belly flutter and fall off. The flesh underneath shrinks in the blink of an eye and peels away from the outer skin.

"Dried goods (string)...?

The merchant girl murmurs to herself.

Yes, that's dried fish. When I was in the commercial city, I saw the merchant girl's father stock up on them. Ordinary dried starfish are prized as a snack for drinking.

But what about dried 'Giant Starfish'? The outer skin should be sold at a high price, but - while thinking about this, the merchant girl clasped her lover's hand.

''Aaaaahhhh ──────''

Eventually, the screams of the Giant Starfish cease and it stops moving.

All that's left is the half-shrunk flesh and the cracked outer skin.

The maid is pecking at "Giant Starfish" with a mop, but there is no response.

The dried up monster was completely out of breath.

She knocked down the "Giant Starfish"!

Oh, thank you!

The swordsman youth bows to the adventurers who helped him. The merchant girl does the same.

There were four people who came to the rescue (Kyuen).

There's a blue-haired swordsman, a beastly fighter, and a dark elf-like girl behind a tree. And the mysterious maid standing next to the "Giant Starfish". She looks like an ordinary adventurer, but she's a mystery by all accounts. The maid in particular is a mystery. How did she turn "Giant Starfish" into a dried up fish in an instant ......?

You have been a great help to me. I owe you a great debt of gratitude.

That can wait. Sorry, can you two just do the same thing you did earlier?

The beastman girl said shyly.

The young man and the merchant girl were stunned, but they did as they were told.

This is a favor from our benefactor. You can't refuse a favor from your benefactor.

They face the merchant girl as before and take the same distance from her.

The blue-haired girl smiles bitterly. The dark elf girl doesn't come out from behind the tree with her face red. The beast girl and the maid eagerly adjust the position of the young man and the merchant girl. The height of their gaze, the distance, and even the position of their hands are adjusted to the state they were in earlier, and then──.

So you'll pick up where you left off.

"............ yes?

The two of them couldn't help but nod their heads at the beastman girl's words.

But the beastman girl looked embarrassed.

Oh, um. You were both looking at each other earlier and were about to say something. I was wondering if you could show me the rest of that ......

Please. I could use some help.

The maids are clasping their hands together at the two of them, too.

'Wow. Guess we're not here.

'...... I know it's a hassle, but please do me a favor. I'll head to the rescue of everyone else as soon as I'm done.

The dark elf girl has her head down and the blue-haired girl is scratching her head in embarrassment.

I wonder. This situation.

The young man and the merchant girl look at each other. But the merchant girl quickly tightens her expression.

The merchant girl held her chest and looked at the young man's face.

In any case, there was something to say to him here. Now that his life was saved, there was no hesitation.

If the gallery was bothering him, he wouldn't be trying to seduce him into eloping.

'Why do you give up!　Is that what your thoughts are about?　Let's stay together. I don't know if we'll win, but we'll be together until the end...

Wait a minute, is that where we start?

'No, you don't!　Your line is 'but I'm not'!

The merchant girl shouted.

'Ha, quick. Your benefactor is waiting for you.'

'Wow, okay. 'It's ......, but ...... I am! (Sighs) Yes, next!

My turn. It's my turn. Well... ...... there's something I haven't been able to tell you for a long time. Listen. I... I... ......

The merchant girl will pause for a moment and then...

I'm carrying a child!　You're a father. That's why I can't let 'Giant Starfish' kill you!

Oh, really?

'When this battle is over, let's go to my father in Metecal. Tell him about your children and I'm sure he'll forgive you.

'But ...... I've decided not to meet your father until I've made a name for myself as an adventurer. That man is a great merchant. He will never forgive me if I don't achieve what that man sees ...... as possible.

Yeah, .......

I'm sorry to interrupt, but can you hear me out?

"Oh, yes,

The blue-haired adventurer approached them and they looked at her.

The Giant Starfish's hull is a valuable material for decoration. The reason why we were able to defeat it this time around is because you were paying attention to us. So why don't we play a little bit of tennis?

"...... yeah.

'Wouldn't that be enough to get you guys married?

The blue-haired girl chuckles.

I received this rescue quest. It's not because I wanted to receive materials. I just wanted a reference for these kids, too.

Are you sure you want to do this? Oh, please.

We have a deal. Goodbye, Miss Rita.

Okay. Ta-da!

Snap.

The beastman girl drops her sword on the shell of the Giant Starfish.

The cracked hull was easily cut into two pieces. And evenly.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

'Thank you!　I'll take a look at it for reference!

Happy holidays.

'Hmmm. I'll rearrange that exchange for your master: ......

While a young swordsman and a merchant girl were watching with their mouths open, the four mysterious men left like the wind.

Deep in the forest...

At ......, were those two helpful in the 'Master and Deserted Island Flirting Project'?

''It's difficult: ....... In the first place, I don't want to get close to a demon that could put Nagi-sama's life in danger.

Yeah. Cecil. Nagi and ...... talk like that with Nagi, you have to make sure you're safe first, right?

But I think it's good to mix memories into the conversation.

Leticia and Cecil, Rita and Aine, discussing with their foreheads pressed together in the forest.

...... Right. I also want to talk to Nagi-sama about the old days.

...... I knew that 'Eloping Couple' would be helpful.

I'd like to use the line from ...... 'I have a child in my stomach' at some point.

We don't have time to relax at ....... I'm going to go help the others.

At Leticia's signal, Aine and Rita start to run. Cecil is propped up on Rita's back in order to conserve his strength (onzonzon).

At the request of the Adventurer's Guild, they came to the uninhabited island to rescue the party a few minutes ago.

Using Rita's 'sense of presence', she looked for the missing adventurers and went to rescue them. There should be four more adventurers on the island. We have to look for them and help them immediately. And I have to use it as a reference for a 'good atmosphere'.

With that in mind, Cecil, Rita and Aine headed deeper into the forest.

' ...... matthew. It's hard work being a maiden in love.

He smiles in annoyance, and Leticia is with him.
