Our attacks werent working.
That was, the sa as not having any ans to go against it.
This forest was always making us go through trials and tribulations.
Twin Sword StyleTempestuous Blade
The silver and golden lights flashed so quickly that it could barely be seen.
Even when Asahina-kun drew out both his swords and attacked the monster that Nanase-kun shot out of the sky, it was still unscathed.
Haaaaaah!!
Even when Satou-kun agilely swung his sword down, it was simply repelled.
Nanase-kun, who was protecting those in the back, used his wind magic to pin the whale monster onto the ground, but thats not going to hold up forever.
Neither magic nor physical attacks were effective.
Was this what they an by there being nothing that could be done.
Please dont give up!
I ca to stand in front of the whale monster and frantically raised my shield, protecting Hosoyama-san, Ueno-san, and Waki-kun who was behind from its attacks.
I couldnt let the needles, whose tips were shining, which made it obvious that they were coated with poison, touch the three people.
As I was thinking if there was anything that we could do while gradually retreating, suddenly, the figure of a person jumped out from behind .
Hosoyama-san!?
What are you doing!?
Ueno-san and I raised our voices, bewildered.
I wonder where she learned to do that, as Hosoyama-san agilely dodged the whale monsters attacks and gradually approached it.
She seed to be aiming for sothing, but what that was, I did not know.
However, Hosoyama-san wouldnt do anything that was impractical.
Asahina-kun, Satou-kun, and Zeal-sans eyes widened, startled, and got into formation in order to protect her.
Nanase-kun was concentrating on his magic and didnt notice, but Zeal-san was now right next to Hosoyama-san, so she should be alright.
However, despite appearances, Hosoyama-san was unexpectedly soone who was assertive and got things done.
It seems that she told the three people her plan, but her voice was too far away for to hear.
The two people behind probably couldnt move like Hosoyama-san did, and currently, we were being one-sidedly attacked by a storm of needles, so the others could focus on attacking.
Either way, we wont be able to participate, but I wanted to say sothing.
That was truly bad for the heart.
Alright, lets go!
At Zeal-sans signal, the three people all simultaneously attacked the monster.
They worked together so that they didnt get in each others way, attacking the sa place, and they did so with barely any prior preparations.
The three of them were amazing.
It seems that the statuses of those who were summoned had higher values than those of regular humans, so the one who was amazing was Zeal-san who could keep up with Asahina-kun and Satou-kun.
Now! Hosoyama!
Starting from here, I couldnt see it very well, but most likely, everyones attacks focused on one point and opened up a hole.
A hole that was big enough for a womans finger to barely slip through.
It seems that the attack was not nullified completely.
Even so, even when a hero, samurai, and knight used all their strength, they only made a small hole, so its strength was not hard to imagine.
And, compared to us who panicked because our attacks were ineffective, Hosoyama-san, who patiently observed and noticed that they werent completely ineffective was amazing.
Ive often heard that won displayed their strength at the last mont, but it seems that it was true.
Gyaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
As the monster scread, its attacks grew weaker and weaker, until it stopped.
I kept my shield up, just to be on the safe side, but judging from the rapidly weakening monster, I understood that it no longer had the strength to attack.
Even though I cautioned the two people who timidly ca out from behind , they too approached the monster.
The three people who integrated their attacks and Nanase-kun who had restrained the monster gathered around Hosoyama-san.
What did Hosoyama-san do.
You stole its life force!?
Waki-kuns eye widened in surprise as he stuffed his cheeks with a large piece of at.
I took a piece from the monster at that was grilling in the center of the circle that was enough for to eat and nibbled on it.
Incidentally, this at was from the whale monster that Hosoyama-san and the others defeated.
The one who suggested that we eat the monster whose at had beco so tender after it died that it could even be cut by a knife was Hosoyama-san, and with her skill, the poison testing was complete.
I was a bit worried, and when I asked her if she could detect slow-acting poisons, she gave a full-faced smile and a firm nod.
I did not have the courage to ask her how she could ascertain that.
Or rather, I didnt want to know.
I was still unaccustod to eating the at of monsters that we defeated, but monster at was much more delicious than the at of dosticated animals.
I heard that that was due to the bit of magic power that still flowed throughout the body even after their death.
Its no wonder that monster at was frequently being recomnded when I went to the Adventurer Guild.
The retired adventurers too generally had a splendid stomach.
Thats right. Its the exact opposite of healing, where you give your magic power to others. I saw Yuuki-chans dispel magic and ca up with it. Unlike magic power, I couldnt sense it so it was pretty difficult, but I was able to acquire it. The skillGluttony.
Hosoyama-san gave a peace sign and smiled, but the na of the skill was fairly ominous.
Gluttony, that ant eating anything and everything, right.
Along with testing for poison, the number of reasons why we couldnt do without Hosoyama-san increased yet again, but just how far was she going with this.
I cant use it if Im not touching it directly, even more so for those who are strong like the one just now, but if a monster similar to the one from this ti appears, please count it as one of the thods of attack.
I nodded when I saw the serious look on Hosoyama-sans face, as thats what I hoped for as well.
However, it seems that Satou-kun did not agree.
It turned out well this ti, but that doesnt an it will go as smoothly the next ti as well. Moreover, coming out from behind the shield and not letting Tsuda-kun know, that was suicidal. If he had been distracted by you and loosened his grip on the shield, Tsuda-kun, Ueno-san, and Waki-kun would no longer be here with us. Naturally, if you had made a small miscalculation, you too wouldve died as well.
Oya?, I tilted my head in confusion at his unexpectedly harsh words.
According to what I rember, Satou-kun had only ever raised his voice like this when he was with Oda-kun.
It was unusual for Satou-kun, who was always gently smiling, to frown and get angry.
Satou-kun continued to say this to Hosoyama-san who dejectedly hung her head.
I am the hero, but Im not omnipotent. I cant protect everyone. Thats why, if you do it next ti, properly get permission for it, and after having soone guard you. I wouldnt be able to take it if anyone here was gone.
Im sorry, it was thoughtless of .
No, if you understand, then thats fine. Lets finish our al.
I could see the heat in Satou-kuns eyes when he looked at Hosoyama-san who bowed her head honestly.
