Chapter 37-Senior party and King's Castle progress

(TL:By Rafael)

"The light is shining in quite deep, isn't it?"(Silk)

Silk mentioned this to me as we approached the exit stairway.

The twilight light, which had only reached the landing when we first stepped into the staircase, was already extending to the bottom of the staircase.

'You're telling me we don't have much time?"(Yuki)

"Yes, At this rate, we won't last six months."(Silk)

This estimate is also based on the pace of this project.

If there is some kind of trigger, there is a possibility that this pace will accelerate.

Considering this, it may be too much of a stretch to think that there is only "half a year" left to go.

I ran up the stairs and went out to "Glad Shi-Im".

The silence and twilight light still gives me a dry chill, but I swallow it and keep going.

If I am frightened by this, it will be difficult to catch up with the "Full Bound" ahead of me.

'...... ahead, chrysalis cocoon!　The number is four!"(Nene)

Nene, who was on scouting ahead with the scout  of the Alliance, warns us running who were  behind her.

That hard stare of a flying demon. ......!

It is quite a dangerous demon.

"Let us  take care of this. Please go ahead."(Marona)

"Carmine" runs and each draws a weapon.

"Yuk-han, Lucent-han, we'll be right behind you. ......"(Marona)

"We'll leave it to you. Let's go, Mr. Yuki."(Lucent)

"......, however..."(Yuki)

"You're going to help Lun, aren't you?"(Marona)

Marona smiles and speeds up.

The "Carmine" team followed behind her.

"Yuke, priorities. This time, we are here to support you. This may be new to you, but don't lose sight of the objective."(Lucent)

"......."(Yuki)

I nods to Lucent, who gives me a stern look, and move my feet.

I scatter reinforcement magic to the "Carmine" girls, at least to cover them, and run alongside them as they begin the battle.

We break through the main street, aiming for the shortest possible distance. I had thought that there might be an encounter with the enemy, but I didn't expect it to be so fast.

'Scout! By route only!"(Silk)

Silk, running next to me, sends out instructions, to which Nene and Miriam of "Skordia" nod and lead the way.

Thank God we have excellent sub-leaders. I have to be strong, too.

"Sorry, Silk."(Yuki)

"I'm here for such occasions."(Silk)

I smile lightly back at Silk, who smiles at me, and regain my spirit in my mind.

I can't drag this out forever.

"Lucent! The yard is buzzing with people!"(Miriam)

"There are too many of them."(Nene)

Nene and Miriam, who had stopped at the entrance to the outer wall, send us hand signs to take cover.

'Hmm, there are quite a few of them. ...... Now what do we do, Lucent?"(Miriam)

"Of course, we'll stall and let 'Clover' get ahead of us."(Lucent)

"There are quite a few of them, will you be fine?"(Yuki)

A quick check confirmed that nearly a dozen demon monsters were in the garden.

Moreover, hanging around here are powerful demons called Soldier Sentries and Knight Knights, and their supposed defeat rank is B rank.

I understand that "Skordia" is a capable party, but it is just too dangerous.

"Carmine" will catch up with us soon anyway. If we let these stop you, we will feel sorry for Carmine's efforts."(Lucent)

"But ......"(Yuki)

"What the heck, You youngsters should  just keep your eyes ahead."(Moriah)

Moriah, the old sorcerer, grins as he grips his staff.

"Moriah, Miriam. Kill some of them with your fancy magic. Dorcas, we'll go out together. Maje, use your spirit magic to cover Clover."(Lucent)

Each "Skordia" nodded and readied their gains in response to Lucent's instructions.

I felt my heart lift a little under such circumstances.

Before "Thunder Pike" was formed, ...... that is, before I became an adventurer, the highly esteemed A-rank party "Skordia" was well-known.

They have high expectations for me and for us.

"I understand. I'll meet up with you later."(Yuki)

"Oh, take it easy, just follow the theory of labyrinthine behavior dungeon work."(Lucent)

In his senior-like manner, he nodded and waited for the right moment to enter.

It was right after the magic attack took place.

"Fireball!"(Miriam)

"Here we go.Blizzard."(Moriah)

A fireball released by Miriam caused a huge explosion in the center of the garden, followed by a fierce blizzard of snow blown by Moriah's magic that iced the demons.

"We're going in."(Lucent)

"Oh."(Ducus)

With a flat tone of voice, Lucent and the dwarf warrior Dulcus rushed into the garden at breakneck speed, mercilessly reaping the demon monsters.

"Now, this way, ladies and gentlemen."(Maje)

On the sidelines of the garden, where the battle had begun, we and Maje, a half-elf priestess, ran along the edge of the garden.

She is also a spirit user, and her magic seems to be diminishing our presence.

I realized how amazing "Skordia," a group of A-ranked adventurers who can handle any and all situations, is.

"We can't do anything. I'm so disappointed."(Marina)

"Me, too."(Rain)

Marina and Rain spilled the beans as they glanced at the battle.

I feel the same way.

"No,You will be the stars from this point on. Now, go."(Maje)

Maje smiles at us as we arrive at the kitchen door where we entered before.

"Thank you."(Yuki)

"Oops, no need to thank me. Please buy me a drink when you're done. That's the way of an adventurer, isn't it?"(Maje)

"I will."(Yuki)

I smile lightly in return and look over at my companions.

From here on out, it's just Clover. I had to keep my nerve.

"Let's go, everyone. You know what the primary goal is, don't you?"(Yuki)

"Lun-chan's safety!"(Marina)

"Good. The safety of us and Lun comes first. As soon as we have her in custody, we'll make an immediate exit."(Yuki)

Everyone nodded at my words.

"All right. Let the attack on Vordan Castle begin!"(Yuki)

TL Note- The attack on Vordan Castle began and i forgot but the previous chapter was the 100th chapter of this series. I want to thank all the readers who have read and continued to support us and made this translation of the series possible.
