Part 1
Eighth day.
We got down from the ledge and headed towards the bazaar.
Looking from above, the bazaar was like a donut.
The tents surrounding the lake were like frosting.
And surrounding those were bits of green.
I haven't eaten such a pastry in a long ti.
"We finally arrived."
"You're right, even though it's only been ten days, it felt like such a long ti."
"Probably because of all the monsters."
The ground was not a desert.
The earth was reddish-brown, with fist-sized rocks spread about.
The ground may be similar to that of the Magic Continent.
Thanks to that, it was fairly easy to walk.
The temperature also dropped considerably.
From the ledge to here, there was a great difference.
By the ti we reached the bazaar it was evening.
Bats were flying around over the reddish earth.
Thinking there was a succubus, I put myself on guard.
But, the bats did nothing but fly.
They neither dove for an attack, nor was there a succubus in their midst.
These were just bats.
However, even though we're close to the bazaar, there may be monsters.
We moved while being alert.
Kiee-…
When we got close to the bazaar, a cry of a griffon could be heard.
We beca even more wary.
"What was that?"
"They must be fighting."
Elinalize said that while looking ahead.
I still couldn't see where.
"Who?"
"Dunno."
I got a blunt reply when I asked that.
We got closer to the bazaar.
Then, we saw several people and griffons.
Four humans.
Five griffons.
No, to be exact, it wasn't four people.
It was six.
2 people were on the ground.
In addition, 1 person was crouching while holding his head.
The rest were in the middle of battle with the griffons.
3 vs. 5.
The remaining three were coordinating well with swinging their broadswords.
However, I could grasp that they were quite fatigued.
"Shall we assist?"
When I asked Elinalize, she shrugged her shoulders.
So which is it?
"I'll leave that to you."
Leaving them to die would make feel guilty.
Why not help them out?
"Let's save them."
"Understood. Cover !"
"Roger!"
Elinalize broke into a run.
At the sa ti, I shot out magic at the griffon that was in the air.
Bullseye.
It probably wasn't paying attention to .
However, it seems it took evasive action at the last minute.
It avoided instant death.
With its feathers scattered, the griffon fell.
There, as if Elinalize was dancing, she stabbed it in the neck.
I continued to fire off rock bullets one after another.
I took down the second one with a single blow.
The third one avoided it.
The griffons noticed my presence.
However, in front of them were ard n.
And there was also Elinalize who is skilled in defense beside .
That being the case, I could shoot out magic all I want.
We won't be losing now.
We steadily beat them down.
"Kyuiiiiii!"
The last remaining one was trying to run away.
I shot out a rock bullet at its back and finished it off.
I can't afford to let a wounded beast get away.
The battle was over.
I went together with Elinalize towards the group.
"Is, is it finished!?"
The man who was crouched while holding his head looked up.
He looked around restlessly, then let out a sigh of relief.
The group of warriors fighting the griffons approached us.
"What are you doing! Hurry up and look!"
Amongst the n, a warrior was giving out instructions.
The person who received them ran off sowhere at full speed.
"Seriously… what a disaster, why are griffons here…"
The man giving out orders carried the remaining two, and looked at us.
"You've saved us. I'm grateful."
The man giving out orders wore sothing like a yellow gown on top of a red robe.
He had a red dot marked on his forehead.
He really looks the part of a rchant of the desert.
He had a long and skinny moustache.
However it wasn't majestic.
It gave off a feeling like its an accessory.
I felt a bit relieved.
"Not at all, it's tis like these that we have to help each other."
"Normally you'd just abandon us."
Since he thanked in Fighting God language, I replied back in the sa.
It looks like they can understand, and it got through to them.
Seems like we'll be fine.
"May you be graced with the blessing of the winds."
Saying only that, he turned back.
And walked towards the place where the comrades had fallen.
"…"
The remaining two were clad in red armor.
Their bottom half had sothing like a skirt with thick loincoth hanging down.
They were more heavily ard compared to warriors on the Central Continent.
Hanging from their waist was a big curved sword.
It was thick and wide.
It easily surpassed the length of a ter.
I often saw swords like this when I was on the Magic Continent.
They were probably effective against large monsters.
Their swords were big, and their armor was thick.
I wonder if that was why they couldn't match up against the quick and nimble griffons.
"A magician, huh, that's unusual."
A big man murmured.
A large tattoo on his face.
An eyepatch on his left eye.
His height was close to 2 ters.
He seems to be about 40.
His behavior seed as if he had tons of experience.
"Bro. This person, maybe she's a succubus?"
There was a girl on their side.
She said that while staring at Elinalize.
Dark skinned, wearing chest armor and loincloth-like skirt.
While I couldn't see underneath her clothes, she seems like she has a lot of muscle.
She seems to be in her early twenties.
Elinalize didn't understand their words, and looked puzzled.
She doesn't understand Fighting God language.
