“Even though it’s a tree monster, but it’s got a body like a stone ……”

“Ah, now I know why swords and bows can’t cut through its trunks …… Mu, it became like sand ……”

“I hope she’s okay. ……”

“Stop it, she seemed stupid, but that woman is seriously strong. It’s the ones with the pretty faces like that that are the most dangerous.”

After the Aiatsubus retreated, the villagers shuddered as they cleaned up the corpse of the defeated Qliphoth as we returned to the village chief’s house. After dying, the Qliphoths turned into something like lime, and I feel like it’s something different from the individual we fought in Oriola territory.

“Grruuu.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll carry Makina.”

“Kuoon ……”

“Woof.”

“!”

Ash was anxiously moving around my feet, worried about Makina. As for Makina, she looked refreshed and faint …… No, she’s asleep, so there’s nothing unusual about her at the moment, but as her boyfriend, I want to carry her. And what I should think about now is–

“Oh, Dibit-san! Dasha-chan is!”

“I know. It’s broken now, but we’re having a strategy meeting. They know where I am anyway, so it doesn’t matter how visible it is.”

“……”

He walked into the village chief’s house, which had been half destroyed by the rampage of the Qliphoth, lit a cigarette, and sat down in a chair with a bang. I was concerned about the fact that Ornob-san, who was following along with me, was silent the whole time, but I had to think about getting Dasha-chan.

“Let’s go after Aiatsubus. We can catch up with him right now, and this time I’ll make sure to defeat her. Her [Unstable] is a first-time killer, so we’ll have a way to do it the next time we face her.”

As I lay Makina down on the sofa, Ornob-san clenched his fists and shouted loudly.

“Take me with you! Even though we’re already in a good village, but if that girl disappears, Jukuta-san will …… I’ll definitely get her out, please!”

“Calm down, both of you. We’ll go after her. I can’t allow her to take a child as a hostage, she’s no better than a slave. But it’s a little tough with Dasha as a hostage, I bet she’ll kill her if we go after her. Since she’s not bluffing.”

Dibit-san, who is smoking has a point, but I want to get her back as soon as possible, considering the possibility that if she escapes, they will see her as useless and dispose of her. Then, Yukuta-san came to the house.

“Everyone! Is it true that Dasha has been taken!?”

“Sorry, she was taken while we were there ……”

“…… Ahhhhh …… No way ……”

“It’s okay, I’ll go save her. Yukuta-san should just wait here.”

Fath-san responded to Ornob-san’s strong words by supporting Yukuta-san’s sobbing shoulder.

“Hmm, from what I’ve seen, Ornob’s strength is not bad, but what do we do? Dibit has an idea, right?”

“Yeah. She said she was going to stopping us, so I’m sure Sandiola castle is in trouble by now. Maybe not yet, but it won’t be long.”

“Then should we wait at Sandiola? It’s a little difficult to get there ahead of time, though, isn’t it?”

I crossed my arms and said to Dibit-san, extinguishing his cigarette and opening his mouth.

“You …… what did you come here to learn again?”

“Huh? Of course, that’s transfer magic, but …… you, don’t tell me!?”

“That’s right, we’re going to fly all the way to Sandiola. Well, I’ve got something to say to Afmand, so it’s just right. Aiatsubus will probably meet up with Darva. We’ll fly to a nearby town, wait for Aiatubus, and intercept them.”

If there’s an opening, we’ll take Dasha-chan back. He said that it is easier to aim when the field is rough. There’s also Schneider, who has mobility that’s hard to catch if he run really hard, and Sephiro, who has a special attack. I wondered if we could get close to them with the Invisible, but–

“Don’t think about using invisible, she’s very good at tracing magic. She’s so good that she can disperse magic, after all. So if you’re going to go, go at once.”

“…… I see. So it’s up to me.”

“It is a sign of a good man that he understands quickly. I can’t do it a second time because the transfer magic takes all my magic power. So it’s up to you guys. Ornob, if you go, you may be caught and sentenced to death, or you may die in battle. Do you still want to go?”

When Dibit-san said that, Ornob-san nodded silently and strongly, and then laughed. Even though this person has such a strong sense of justice, why is he a slave?

While I was thinking about this, Makina sat up and looked around in a daze.

“Uhhhn …… Haah!? W-Where’s that woman!?”

“Makina, you’re awake? She’s gone now, thanks to Makina and Sephiro.”

“Really!? That’s great …… I don’t remember much, but I did have a good feeling back then!”

“♪”

“Kuoon♪.”

Makina walked over and touched hands and branches with Sephiro, and Ash hugged her legs when he saw how healthy Makina was. He’s like a stuffed animal.

“But Dasha-chan was kidnapped. We’re just about to prepare for battle.”

“……! What!? We have to go now!”

“Calm down. It’s going to be a group battle this time, so make sure you’re well equipped. Also, I guess I’ll teach you a trick to counter her skill.”

“What?”

And then we witnessed the brilliance of Dibit-san–
