Nope. Let ask you for the last ti, are you sure that you don't want to try my drug?
My answer won't change, I refuse.
Though I kept wondering whether I should really try Momokawa's drug, I still ended up at the sa conclusion as before, I can't.
Fight or bring a potion, you only have one of those two options if you wish to pass this area.
I think you're putting yourself in danger by trying to fight us, Sakurai-kun. We want to avoid combat as much as possible, that's why can you at least let us pass this one ti.
If I'm really going to let you guys pass this place, I wouldn't go as far as threatening you guys like this. The only safe way to pass this bridge is for you guys to look for a potion, and give it to .
I nocked my arrow of the black horn bowstring and pulled it, ready to fire a warning shot at any given mont.
That would put an end to it if he tries to negotiate with again but Well, let's see how you'll face this situation, Momokawa.
I see, too bad then It seems we've to kick your ass to pass this place.
The mont Momokawa said those words, Futaba-san made a beeline towards my location. Her running speed betrayed the weight of her seemingly heavy equipnt.
You'll regret this, Momokawa!
I fired the first shot, a warning shot. The arrow pierced through the air in a straight line towards the duo.
Then lodged itself right in front of Futaba-san's toes along with heavy impact.
But that warning shot didn't stop her. Rather, she acted as if she didn't see the arrow coming or not, it wasn't that she didn't see the arrow coming. She didn't feel the need to dodge or protect herself against the first arrow since she knew that it wouldn't hit her.
But Futaba-san seed quite brave to be able to pull such a feat. Even though she looked like a timid person like Saya-chan back in the class, it seed she was also transford into a completely different person after the baptism of this dungeon.
That's just a warning shot. I won't miss in the next one.
You didn't forget about my power right, Sakurai-kun?
In your tied up state, all I need to do is defeat Futaba-sa!
Then, the mont I set my aim to Futaba-san feet.
The shield moved.
It was a slight movent as if trying to protect her feet from my arrow. It wasn't my imagination, the shield did move.
No way, she predicted the trajectory of my arrow. Such intuition
Yes, I wasn't the only person who got the supernatural ability called vocation. Though Momokawa had this bizarre atmosphere around him, my intuition had told that his vocation wasn't the combat type.
But Futaba-san was a completely different story. She might have an extrely powerful combat-type vocation. I an, she could run so fast without even breaking a sweat while raising that stupidly huge and bulky shield which added Momokawa's forty-sothing kilograms of weight on the shield's surface.
Despite holding a freaking hundred kilograms shield in her hand, her running speed rivalled Natsukawa-sans, the ace at the track and field club. That fact alone was enough to convince of her superhuman strength.
In addition, strength wasn't the only factor that got strengthened, she had a sharp intuition too.
Seriously, she literally used Momokawa as her shield.
If she only held up her shield without moving it, I could shoot her without hitting Momokawa. Even if she copied a terrorist act of using a child as a shield like the one in a Hollywood movie, the current could score a headshot without having to worry about hitting the hostage.
But reality sucks like hell, I could shoot Futaba-san when the movent of her shield was always following after my aim.
I'm sure that Futaba-san was reacting to my aim by using either her intuition or sharp eyesight, or else the combination of both. If I shot my arrow as it is, there was a high possibility that my arrow would kill Momokawa.
If what Momokawa said about his pain return ability was true, then it would be the end for the mont I shot his vital spot. Even without that, I would be literally incapacitated if my limbs got injured due to the effect of Momokawa's skill.
If his pain return ability was a lie, then I wouldn't hesitate to kill him on the spot. But I couldn't take a risk of killing Momokawa before I confird the truth about his pain return ability.
I had a simple way to check the truth. All I needed was to make my arrow graze past him.
But Futaba-san wouldn't allow to do that. As long as she kept moving her shield, my arrow would eventually strike Momokawa's limbs.
No, that might be their original aim.
Because I'd no way to heal my wound. Since I'd already revealed the fact that I needed the potion for instant healing, they must've realized that I had no way to heal my wound.
But Momokawa had his hand-made ointnt. In addition, the result seed to be outstanding. That's why even if he had to sacrifice a leg or hand, he could heal that wound later. After they dealt with , who couldn't move due to injury, they could take their ti to heal their injury.
Dammit, what should I do
The running speed of Futaba-san was reduced lightly, and then slowly returned to her top speed again. At her current pace, it would only take less than twenty seconds to reach my position.
She wouldn't even give ti to think
Calm down, .
Momokawa had beco Futaba-san's shield. According to intuition, his pain return ability was most likely a lie.
I an, he looked way too calm for soone who made himself into a bait. Though I had to praise his guts for his ability to stay calm in this situation, completely unperturbed was literally impossible.
It was as if he had so sort of safety asure.
But that was another possibility. Shooting Momokawa to death was a suicidal act.
As I thought, I needed to confirm his ability first.
If his pain return ability was real, I had no choice but to fight Futaba-san and the tied-up Momokawa.
But if it turns out to be a lie, I still had the advantage with my long-distance attack. I could shoot them both to death with my martial art.
And then, the first thing I needed to confirm Momokawa's ability was
Yeah, maybe I can use tha uhm, what's that?
Suddenly, a new idea flashed in my mind. At this mont, I noticed an abnormality.
Is that a normal bird?
Since I was currently camping on the rooftop I could see the sky.
It was neither night nor cloudy, I saw a flock of birds flying in the bright basent. Even without Eagle Eye, it was enough to confirm that it was just an ordinary bird.
Since the trees had grown everywhere in this ruin, this place could already be considered as half-forest. That's why it was only natural for normal animals and monsters to live in this area. When it ca to birds, various kinds of birds were passing by this area.
