“! I’ll cover you with magic.”

“Radia, you take care of our horses. Schneider and Angriff, protect the knights and the adventurers’ horses! Lars, can you take care of the front!”

“Okay, brother, !”

“Aoooooooooon!”

“Compared to the monsters on the island, they’re small fries. Leave the moving trees to me.”

We arrived at the site without incident …… not, and after approaching the range of the mist on the sixth day, the attacks of black monsters became more intense.

It’s even more extensive than the return trip we took to Arjan-san’s place in Orpha Country, with a ten kilometer radius covered in mist. Fortunately, it was only towards the Reflexion Kingdom, so no neighboring towns or villages were within range yet.

“Ryuuze, they’re coming from the right, get rid of them!”

“Aye!”

“It’s going to be tough for those on foot. I’m going to get out and fight too.”

“Then I’ll go too.”

“Sorry, there’s too many of them, so please.”

Sooner or later, Makina and Fath-san left the carriage, kicking at the black giant bee that jumped at them.

“Hiiie!? Don’t be reckless …… Aren’t you scared …… I’m not going to let you go! [Magic Sword] “Wind”, blow away!”

“And I’ll combine it with [Freeze].”

“Wow! As I thought, that’s what happens when you’re married!”

” “We’re not married yet!” “

Ryuuze and Naru also defeated and wiped out the monsters swarming from the air, and Kudelica shouted in admiration.

With the two self-destructing at my side, I fired off a series of magic to defeat the enemies on the ground. In the meantime, I could see Retzel and the others a little further away fighting back from the carriage.

“Seriously, I can’t even rest calmly.”

“, Reiss, take care of it.”

“There, It’s a rain of sulfuric acid, disappear.”

While Retzel throws his scalpel to strike the right spot, Irumi uses shadow spider silk magic to stop the spider demon in its tracks. And then Reiss’ brutal chemical attack. 

“As expected, they’ve been together long enough to know how to work together.”

“You used to beat him when you were a kid, weren’t you, Lars. Whoa, it’s the big boss!”

“Don’t worry! !”

My brother, using his [Charisma] to give us instructions, looks at Retzel and narrows his eyes. 

He’s not the type to hold on to it, but since he was the one who made my parents and me fall, I guess he has some thoughts about it that he doesn’t talk about. He loves his family as much as I do, after all.

“Knights build walls, wizards destroy, spread out!”

“I can’t stand in Hawk-san’s way, Radia, accelerate with the horses!”

“Grruuuuuuu!”

“Neigh!”

“Dwaaaah!? Hey, Lars, watch it!”

“Sorry!”

Sarge swung my dragonblade with ease and decapitated the black Viking wolf, relieved that he didn’t seem to have a problem moving his body anymore. I feel like he can use it with the dragon form.

“Now then …….”

After glancing at Makina and Fath-san, they carefully destroyed the monsters heading for the knights to cut through.

I hurried on, hoping that Jack and Sharuru, who were following behind, would be able to pick up Makina and the others. 

After about thirty minutes, we decided to set up camp.

“I’m back!”

“Hey …… this thing’s even big, but she flies really fast ……”

“Thank you …… Ueepuh ……”

(T/N: I think he sneezed here.)

“Ahaha, it’s just like when I first got on Sarge.”

“Let’s just drink some water and get some rest. Good work everyone.”

I waited for them, but they didn’t come back, so I was thinking about going to look for them when Sharuru came back with Makina and Fath-san. It seems that they were helping the knights march on the road.

We couldn’t go to the rescue because we had been persistently attacked in this station a while ago, but they were able to handle it.

…… Or rather, their numbers dwindled as the sun went down.

“I thought there would be more of them in the black mist, but I guess not.”

“Well, you’re right. If there’s no sun, there’s no shadow, right? They don’t come out in the dark of night– Aaahhhhhhh!?”

“Why didn’t you tell me about such an important thing ……!”

“Ouch, ouch!? It’s because you didn’t ask. Haven’t you ever heard that a person who talks too much is not to be trusted? In fact, the one who spoils their lover is–“

“Fuh ……”

“What, so fast ……!?”

“Ahhhhhh, with this condition, she won’t wake up.”

“Reiss’ medicine won’t help?”

The moment Reiss threw the spoon, Lilith was put on the carriage for now. They all laughed and scattered to their respective places, so I decided to start cooking. 

“What are you going to cook today?”

“I’m not feeling exhausted, so I think I’ll make Ginger Pork to give us some stamina.”

“Hmm, alright. Put some garlic in mine, please.”

“Okay.”

After saying that, she got on the back of the truck with a light step, lay down and started humming a song. Makina smiles at me and says.

“Fufu, Master look so happy. So cute.”

“I’m sure someone will fall in love with her if she look like that, she’s beautiful, after all. Ah, Makina, can you get the wild boar meat out of the fridge?”

“Yes.”

As I was giving Makina instructions while chopping onions, I suddenly felt a presence, and when I looked up, I saw–

“H-Hey, Lars …… who is that beauty!? Isn’t it unfair that it’s always you!?”

“Roy!? You participated?”

“Yeah! I joined because the pay was good and I heard it was in your town. R-Rather than that, that person is …….”

“Hmm, sorry. Fath-san is a married person, so give up.”

“!? It’s you! So you’re the one who married her! Damn it, why is it always Lars! No, he’s rich and strong, I get it!”

“Uwah!? I’m holding a knife! Well, it’s not me, but give it up. There’s a girl in your party, don’t you?”

“Can you marry your own sister?”

So she was your sister ……

“No, I can’t …… Well, Roy is a nice guy, so you’ll find one soon. But I didn’t expect Roy to be here.”

“Haah …… It’s shame. Even though she was really my type …… There are others, you know? You didn’t even come to the guild after the Sandiola fight.”

“Haha, I’ve been busy. …… That’s encouraging, but take it easy.”

“I know. I’ve heard the stories that have come through the Prime Minister. I’ll leave the big shot to you.”

I nodded at Roy’s words and said the Ginger Pork looked good and brought his sister and the others over, so I had to increase the quantity and got absorbed in the cooking …… By the way, he talked to Fath-san, but he was brushed off lightly.

But still, I was thinking about strategy, thinking that it was safe at night, when it’s usually the other way around.
