Royal Capital Disturbance -Evacuation-

Behind Venom who was fighting Arios, were the children

who were also holding their weapons up with Kenya as their lead.

Venom without being roused up, started attacking Arios

without worrying about the children

Naturally moving as if he was walking, he rushed at

Arios like a cannonball ignoring gravity and inertia.

And he reached the maximum speed immediately not giving

time for Arios to prepare.

「

Doom

Enemy

[1]

!!

」

The claws on Venom’s hands grew longer and dyed in black

And while releasing “Wave of Division”, he approached Arios.

However――

「

――how

naïve.

」

Before anyone was aware, Arios was gripping a sword and

swung it.

His sword shone like it was releasing radiance and cut

off Venom’s claws with extreme speed.

Arios’ expression didn’t change as if it’s a natural

result.

He looked at Venom just like looking at a bug.

Such condescending behavior was that of an overwhelming

powerful person to those who was weaker.

However,

his expression was distorted due to unexpected situation. Pain ran through

Arios’ arm.

「

Hahaa,

serve you right~! Luckily, two of it stuck in right?

」

Venom pointed it out and sprouting a smile.

As

what Venom said, two claws had stuck in Arios’ arm.

「

You

bastard, is this your aim from the start?

」

「

Nope,

it isn’t like that. I thought I’d kill you by the first strike.

However, I thought that even if you grazed by one would

be good. Well. I’m so lucky again

today

.

」

「

You

jester―― I will no longer hold back then.

」

「

Stupid~!

Fighting without holding back from the beginning, such a thing should be the

basic you know!

」

Towards Arios who was dyed with anger, Venom was

thoughtfully cheerful.

However, in contrast to his attitude, there’s no gap in

his stance. With his cut claws already regenerated, Venom’s consciousness

focused on Arios.

That’s natural.

From

the exchange just now, Venom was convinced that Arios was an overwhelmingly

powerful person.

(Hee! As I expected, there’s something that I can’t

perceive even inside of where my surveillance are.

Certainly, he’s higher ranking than me……

But, it’s not because he’s fast that I can’t see his

movement.

That means that it was due to his ability that I can’t

detect him from the start, I’m sure my thinking isn’t wrong――

He’s stronger than me, no doubt about it, but it’s not

like I can’t win.

In

that case, it’s so convenient. I will kill this guy and take that power!)

While fighting, Venom felt laughter almost spilled out

from his mouth.

Even if he defeats low ranking enemies, he can’t obtain

more power.

Therefore, he thought this time was a chance for him.

It’s a chance for him to defeat a high ranked enemy and obtained more power.

(I’m lucky. Masayuki is here, this guy will become a

high-quality food for me!)

If Arios’ strength is comparable to the high ranking

people of Rimuru’s closest aides――That’s on Diablo’s class―― and if Arios has

an isolation ability, Venom would have no chance to win.

But, Venom noticed that Arios has no such ability.

Now that Venom was able to percept Arios’ movement, it

probably meant that he couldn’t use that ability.

Arios was not an unreachable existence, Venom concluded

so.

Currently, Masayuki’s ability had increased Venom’s

luck.

It also exerted another effect on Venom, his strength increased

unbelievably.

He can evade an inevitable attack for some reason, and

attack that unlikely to hit was able to hit.

The evidence was the two poison claws stuck on Arios

before.

In this lucky state, he believes that

poison that shouldn’t work will have an effect.

If that’s so, there’s no need to

hesitate.

Venom believed in himself and

Masayuki, and was going to challenge Arios who’s stronger.

Masayuki stands with his arms folded while watching

Venom’s fight.

Honestly, rather than looking at it, he can understand

the fight to some extent from the sparks that occurs once in a while.

It’s not a speed that can be followed by eyes,

Masayuki’s just pretending that he’s watching.

(Or rather, I can’t do anything like that you know.)

Because it’s no longer inside his area of understanding,

the feeling of fear has weakened.

Since Masayuki decided to entrust the fight completely

to Venom, Masayuki thinks about what’s going to happen later.

The most important thing for Masayuki is his own safety.

The children seem to wait for their chance to take part

in the fight, and eagerly watching the fight between Venom and Arios.

Turning his gaze to the children, Masayuki ponders.

(They are stronger than me. If that’s so, I think it would

be safer together……

Or rather, why are they here?)

Masayuki finally feels the doubt about it.

When Masayuki comes to the capital, the children had

already saved Hinata from the crisis.

Masayuki appeared at a good timing, in a favorable

place, but he never aimed for that.

It just happened that the timing match with his arrival

with his companions by Venom’s transfer magic.

It

wasn’t like they had acted together till then.

「

Hey,

Kenya! Why are you guys here?

」

Although it’s too late, Masayuki asks Kenya.

Masayuki’s behavior was too natural, like not thinking

about the fight――Although saying that he’s ignoring as he can’t see the fight

won’t be wrong――in the people’s eyes, but he didn’t notice it.

He felt he needs to ask the question for his safety

later on.

He

wanted to withdraw from this dangerous place quickly, but he thought that he

needs a reason for that.

「

Ah,

An-chan

[2]

.

Actually, Alice is――

」

「

Uhhh,

with my ability

『

Perceiver

(Space Wiseman)

[3]

』

, I somehow know

that danger is approaching Hinata Onee-chan!

」

「

Because

Alice makes a racket, we somehow do it……

」

「

For

that reason, we came to help Hinata-san.

」

「

We

got stronger thanks to Hakurou-shishou and Agera-Shishou’s training you know!

Right

now we might not lose to Masayuki An-chan!

」

So, the children answer Masayuki’s question together.

(What are they saying…… From the start, they were

stronger you know……)

While

thinking so, Masayuki consents with “I see”.

「

I

see, I didn’t think that you guys would be here.

」

「

We

too, we didn’t think that An-chan would come.

」

「

Yes.

But, if you didn’t come Hinata Onee-chan might have been killed…… Onii-chan,

thank you!

」

「

Eh!?

Ah, I guess so. Well, no need to worry if I’m here.

」

Masayuki feels the sweats flowing on his back increased

to the unexpected overestimation.

Aside from that……

Apparently, Masayuki concludes that the enemy’s aim

certainly to be Hinata.

(Well, what should I do? The enemy is aiming for

Hinata-san, but I’m near her so I would be in danger too……)

Masayuki thought so, but the children said that they

came here to protect Hinata.

He’d like to run away with transfer magic but Venom is fighting,

it was difficult to run away from this place.

Although the enemy seems not going to interfere with the

city and the citizens, the damage seemed to be massive due to stray attacks.

While

thinking so, Masayuki draws a conclusion that the safest place is next to

Hinata who the children will protect.

「

Alright,

then I’ll be next to Hinata-san. Because I’ll protect you in case of something

up.

」

Standing naturally next to Hinata, Masayuki spoke

without any hesitation.

But, that’s not the only reason.

Masayuki had something he wants to protect above all

else.

The warmth left in his right hand ―― that’s right, the

memory of the warmth and softness of Hinata’s breast.

(Losing such wonderful things, I will never allow it!)

With Masayuki’s intense determination, the effect of his

ability increased to the maximum.

――While it’s a Unique Skill, it’s enough to reach the

truth of the world.

As the result, the space called Lucky Field

[4]

which gives tremendous

blessing to people Masayuki considers as ally expanded, that’s unintended by

Masayuki.

「

Hmm,

as expected that angel-like guy is beyond my capabilities….. I can barely

follow the movements.

Compared to that, your friend is amazing. He can somehow

fight against that guy……

Truly

amazing……

」

Hinata nods to Masayuki’s word.

And

then she continues,

「

Well

then, let’s us do the thing that we can do now.

I think that will be helping the people escape from this

place.

Nicholas, we will spread defense barrier in this place!

Sealing

the aftereffect of that fight, it will become the people’s shield!

」

She shouts with vigor.

Based on that Girl’s belief, Hinata started to do what

can be done now.

She doesn’t think of an outrageous thing such as she

wanted to save everyone, but helping people that need help in front of her ――

that’s the way Hinata lived.

That’s

the thing that led to confidence, Hinata understood that well.

「

With

pleasure!

」

「

Understood,

Hinata-sama.

」

‌

「

Leave it to me!

」

Responding to her are Nicholas, Leonard and Fritz.

Following Hinata’s orders, the three ran to three sides.

And then, a square with Hinata as the top is formed.

And so, with 4 holy knight class people, the defense

barrier was spread.

Holy Field will be effective if the enemy is a monster,

but this time there’s Venom here and the enemy has the appearance of an angel.

If they’re carelessly put holy attribute barrier, it

will be a hindrance instead.

With that in mind, they chose Material Shield (Holy and

Magic Defense Barrier).

It was a barrier with the purpose to block explosion

impact, heat etc, that’s all elements.

Thus, Hinata plans to temporarily earn some time for the

people to escape.

In

align with Hinata’s action,

「

Hinata

onee-chan! We’ll also help!

」

Alice

said so and synchronized the effect of Space Barrier of Unique Skill

『

Perceiver

』

with Hinata and

co’s barrier.

As the result, the Material Shield deployed by Hinata

and co was reinforced greatly.

Looking

at that, Gale went out ahead.

「

Well,

I think my Unique Skill

『

Cultivator

(Reclamator)

[5]

』

will be useful!

」

Gale’s

Unique Skill

『

Cultivator

』

was originally an

ability suitable for agriculture, but depending on how to use it, it was an

excellent ability with various applications.

Interfering with the earth, Gale covers the plaza on the

people side with soils that turned hard.

Gale synchronized with the spirit of earth, on that

moment a protective wall as strong as steel was completed.

A wall instantly appeared in front of the people.

Naturally, the people were shaken.

After

Gale are Kenya and Ryouta.

「

Alrighty!

We will knock down that guy.

My eyes have gradually accustomed and become able to see

that guy’s movement.

I

don’t think Masayuki An-chan’s turn will come!

」

「

We’re

also quite trained.

However,

it’s reassuring that Masayuki-san is watching us!

」

Saying

such words, Kenya and Ryouta participated in the fight.

「

Ah.

When it’s dangerous, I’ll protect you both!

」

Kenya and Ryouta replied with a nod.

(I never decided so though.)

So Masayuki thought.

As it becomes like this, Masayuki has no other choice but to believe that Venom

and the children will defeat the enemy.

It’s a miscalculation for Masayuki

that Kenya and Ryouta participated in the fight.

He thought that they will keep

protecting Hinata.

However, the cornerstone of the

defense, that’s Gale and Alice are still here.

Hinata and co’s barrier seems to have

been reinforced, although it’s not going as Masayuki has planned originally,

his safety is secured for the time being.

(Hmm. Like this, it would be better

not to make an unnecessary move.)

Masayuki made a decision and decided

to deal with the remaining trouble quickly.

That’s the gaze of the people around

the place.

Because Masayuki is Masayuki, he

wants the people to go somewhere quickly.

「

Everyone,

please calm down and leave the plaza! If there’s a place where you can take

refuge in――

」

Masayuki is trying to keep the people away while showing

his cool side to Hinata.

His plan is one.

When the situation turns worst, he will run away.

He thought that to make it easy for him to escape at any

times, having fewer people here is better.

However,

the people received his words in another meaning.

「

Hero-sama,

he is worried about us……

」

「

Idiot,

it’s different! We are in his way. If he’s fighting seriously, we’ll get

involved!

」

「

Is

that so? So that’s why he let the small apprentices fight……

」

「

That’s

right. If Masayuki-sama himself fights, there’s no doubt he’ll win.

But

then, we will get hurt too!

」

「

We’re

hindrances to him!?

」

Well, like that.

Naturally,

they misunderstood Masayuki’s true motive.

「

Everyone,

please run to the royal castle. There’s a large-scale barrier set up in that

place.

Although the angel’s army will come to attack it, it

will take time for the barrier to break.

In

order to let Hero-dono to fight freely, a smooth evacuation will be better――

」

A man suggested so towards the people who try to flee

from the plaza.

That man is Prince Elrick who confessed his own crime.

His

face is like someone who had been released from evil spirit’s grasp, his eyes

are of a person who prepared and decide to accept anything.

「

Prince――

」

Even

the knights are surprised for a moment.

「

Everyone!

Did you hear it? Please move calmly, there’s enough space for everyone in the

castle.

So there’s no one injured by panic, please leave this

place calmly.

Leave

the rest to Hero-sama!

」

One of the knights issued instructions to the people

with a large voice.

And then that knight ordered to the soldiers who were

bewildered by the turn of the events to guide the populace and prepare to

receive them in the castle.

Apparently, the man was the Knight Order’s vice leader,

receiving the order the knights promptly started to move.

Attached to them, the soldiers also began to move.

People began moving like water from the plaza.

“We need to evacuate quickly so Masayuki-sama will be

able to actively taking part in the fight” with that in their hearts.

Thus, there were only a few people left in this place.
