129 Part 3
These were the reactions from the mbers of Team Aerial the mont he took off his mask and his presence beca zero.
O-Oh said Kagemitsu, as his face beca stiff,
Wha!? said Van, as his eyes opened wide,
What the said Yoshi, unable to find words to continue speaking,
A-Amazing! said Doraneko, in an eerie monotone voice,
Even I cant get a sign of where he is said Becky, with a completely astonished face.
At that point, Haruki felt as if his heart was about to crumble.
Exactly at that point where it had started to crack, Karens reaction was
Pfft!
She was unable to resist Team Aerials bewildernt, and bursted into laughter.
Haruki turned pale.
He was so pale he could have lted into the air.
He hoped that at least that mber of the Self-Defense Force he had walked right next to would have noticed sothing.
But even he turned out to be hopelessly unaware, which caused Harukis tear glands to finally give way.
The fact that Kagemitsus strategy had worked well was a godsend.
However, Haruki couldnt be pleased with that fact.
Sniff
Haruki escaped by walking around the old school building while being completely ignored, as if he had vanished into thin air.
The mbers of the Self-Defense Force had already started to gather near Mt. Hakodate Dungeon.
The Self-Defense Forces should have made their move as soon as the unique-species monster appeared, but they were going to fight it today.
The reason for this delay was that they had lots of preparations to make before marching on.
The Self-Defense Forces had about 100 mbers.
They were assembled into platoons.
There were a total of four of these platoons.
Each of their leaders were handing dicine to the rest of the mbers.
It must have been so recovery potion that they purchased a few days prior.
The company commander who assembled the platoons was conducting the final verification of the operation together with his assistant.
The Self-Defense Forces had (just in case) restricted access to the area around the dungeon.
There were plenty of Self-Defense Force mbers around the ticket gate of Mt. Hakodate Dungeon.
The Self-Defense Force mbers seed to be under a lot of pressure. They had bags under their eyes and sunken cheeks.
There was no light in their eyes.
Haruki felt a deep pain in his chest, as he could very well relate to being overworked to the point of staying up all night working.
After confirming that there were no special police or adventurers around other than him, Haruki headed for the ticket gate.
Feeling an imnse joy after the ticket gate had responded properly to his existence (Its only you, the only one who recognizes !), Haruki crossed the entrance of the dungeon, stood at the first step of the stairs and took out his Skill Board.
He quickly swiped his way through the board, searching for the skill trees of the Self-Defense Force mbers.
The reason why Kagemitsu had devised a plan to escape the confinent room was precisely for this.
It was all to protect the mbers of the Self-Defense Force.
From this point on, everything was Harukis call.
He was free to try to talk them out of their mission, or to try to stall for ti until Ichibishi arrived.
Haruki had been tasked with saving the Self-Defense Force mbers from their suicide mission by all ans necessary.
It was a very serious responsibility.
The Self-Defense Force was no match for the Dungeon Lords unique-species that had appeared in Mt. Hakodate.
This was the opinion of Team Aerial, a team of top-class adventurers.
If left to their own devices, the Self-Defense Forces fate was most likely going to go according to Team Aerials expectations.
This is why Haruki had taken matters into his own hands.
Even if that ant using his Stealth ability, which he hates so much, right at the beginning of the operation
Never forsake a life that is within your reach.
Haruki would never choose to abandon soone to their fate out of fear of his own presence disappearing completely.
However, all of Team Aerial agreed that it was practically impossible for Haruki to defeat the Dungeon Lord while protecting the entire Self-Defense Force by himself.
In fact, apart from Kagemitsu, all mbers of Team Aerial were against the operation.
Karen must have felt a bit intimidated since she was surrounded by senior adventurers, and while she was shaking her body uncomfortably, her eyes showed she was concerned for Harukis wellbeing.
The problem wasnt whether or not Haruki would be able to escape. The problem was about what he would do next.
Thats why everyone other than Kagemitsu and Haruki himself were against the plan.
However
I believe in Air.
With those, Kagemitsu overca everyones opposition.
Kagemitsu trusted Haruki.
For that reason, Haruki wouldnt hesitate to deliver.
He intended to live up to his expectations with all his might.
He could only help people when they were within his reach.
However, when they were within his reach, he would do everything in his power to help them.
Whoa.
As he used his Skill Board to look at the skill levels of the mbers of the Self-Defense Force, Haruki was surprised about how low they actually were.
At first, Haruki thought there were a few special cases who had particularly low skill levels, but that wasnt really the case.
Their highest skills were at level 2 at most, and the combat abilities of all their mbers averaged level 1.
And they didnt have any Special skills.
I thought it was normal to have a Special skill, but I guess I was wrong about that
Almost all of the skill trees Haruki had seen so far had Special skills.
However, it seed that Special skills were more rare than that, and that people normally wouldnt have them.
How have they been able to defeat the Dungeon Lord with such a low overall skill level? That question erged in Harukis mind, but actually, the Dungeon Lord is basically a raid battle.
Depending on the tactics, it would be possible to defeat the Dungeon Lord even though the average skill level of your raid party was low.
In addition to that
Maybe its because this guys around.
