Tsuki Ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu
Chapter 72: Next

This is morning yes. You guys really survived ”(Io)

"When cornered, anyone will show strength that surpasses their limits" (Hibiki)

Io's words filled with excess were answered by Hibiki with reckless shouts while dodging the attack.

"That's wrong. Being able to show strength that goes beyond your limits only happens if you have grown up and trained properly. You guys are really skilled fighters. It seems I often misunderstand the hero "(Io)

The praise that came out nonchalantly from his mouth.

3 Meters, from the point of view of a normal person this could be called quite high. Using this body with great agility, he displayed a feat that would make first-rate martial artists grieve.

"Energy-type rods" is a pretty big misconception. Hibiki felt hatred from the bottom of her heart at the idiot who made such an analysis. This was the movement of someone who had polished his body.

The giant that one would normally think of would use an axe or a stick on his various arms and mindlessly swing it. The real thing is very different.

“Her attack didn't strike correctly! This guy has a worse disposition than a spider! " (Ocean Force)

The naval scream. Lt's true. The glint he let out had not passed properly as an attack. From the very beginning, his attacks had left his arm from different angles several times, but even his skin was not scratched. Moreover, he would not allow an attack in the same place to reach. He deftly shifted and with some kind of method, he made the tip slip from his hardened skin.

“Do not humble yourself like that, white woman. Although powerless, it was truly an incredible sword technique "(Io)

“Do you pretend to be a martial arts instructor ?! Gu wu wu !! ” (Bredda)

Bredda went to where Naval was and jumped to divert the attack trajectory of one of his arms.

“An instructor yes! Sounds fine. People like you who can take my attacks for so long are rare. How about that? Want to come to the devil's side? Tto ”(Io)

Io used a step that made it look like he shifted his body direction in an instant to change his position. In the space where he had previously been, something made of magic power passed by.

“Why can you avoid invisible wind ?! Can you read aria ?! ”

“It's wrong, wind user. If one knew how much magic power was put into it, he could read most of the incoming attacks. The place to go and the place to be activated, your eyes tell me the information is "(Io)

This could be called the action brought about by his extraordinary experience. No matter if he said it, there would not be many people who could actually do it.

“I will make you let us go forward once and for all!” (Hibiki)

“!! Nice work! ” (Io)

Due to Hibiki's sharp charge, Io was somewhat pushed back. But it was not like Hibiki had reached the level of a demon general, it was just that the previous arrangements of his original abilities began to be surpassed, that was all.

Going beyond the expectations of a general with a lot of experience was not something a normal person could do, but this was only a small surprise to him.

Definitely felt feedback from Hibiki's hands. The feeling of his sword reached his bones. Hibiki's sword was able to slice one of Io's hands through the middle.

“Oh, awesome. But how do you plan to surpass the next barrier, hero? " (L)

“... I can't get it out ?!” (Hibiki)

“If I tighten my muscles, you won't be able to pull out your sword. So, your movements will also stop! " (L)

“!!”

Hibiki understood what would happen after this.

He immediately parted from his sword. This was an action that stemmed from Hibiki's belief in her instincts.

A boring sound. This was the first attack he had received in this battle. Moreover, this was the first attack he had received since he came to this world that did not have a single god protection from the Goddess.

Hibiki flew like a kicked pebble. Chiya immediately chased after him.

“Ga-ha !! U... go ho... wu... ”(Hibiki).

(Sick! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!) (Hibiki)

Hibiki's mind is colored in one color. Is this the effect of losing the protection of the Goddess god? For a moment, Hibiki thought like this.

(Sick sick sick sick! But! Not having the divine protection of the Goddess was not very important! Because I can move with not much change. The problem is him, Io. He's too strong!) (Hibiki)

Being almost controlled by pain, she tries to manage, though for a bit, the reason. Thinks. Just think about it for now. So, Hibiki, for the sake of returning to her senses, continued to think while wriggling.

(Even my bones are broken. The one hit was my stomach. Hitting a woman's stomach, how disrespectful. There seems to be a need to punish him. My mouth is full of blood. It felt like it was coming from my throat. It is fortunate that there is magic in this world. Under normal circumstances I would not be able to eat food tonight, but with healing magic I could even search for meat. I was lucky) (Hibiki)

With his mind still muddled, he tried to distract him from his injuries. It seemed that the self-recovery magic activated at that moment continued to show an effect, the pain slowly softened. Having Chiya healing magic on it, the two spells synergize and accelerate the speed of healing.

While still faltering, Hibiki stood up after a while.

“At that moment you let go of your sword and, even if it is not perfect, you are even able to create a barrier huh. I'm shooting that one in hopes of making you minced meat. Really nice. You have the genius-level sense of "(Io)

“How will you compensate if I finally cannot bear a child? And also, your minced meat said, how bloody. No kidding! ” (Hibiki)

“What a nimble girl. Get your sword back. This might be a pointless thing for you but, how about trying to find a better sword? " (L)

Hibiki received the thrown sword. Of course, the sword wound on his arm was not found anymore.

"... When tomorrow comes, I will listen to your advice" (Hibiki)

As always, words that do not show tension are somehow countered with impudent speech.

“If you're still alive to see tomorrow, you'll have nowhere to go back. Both premises are impossible "(Io)

"?!"

The indifferent words of the demon general. However, showing their place to return, Hibiki and the others uniformly opened their eyes wide.

“Oh, so you were surprised as expected. Currently a separate force is moving to Limia ”(Io)

“Do not mess! There was no way the capital would fall by one unit! " (Bredda)

Bredda was the first to raise objections. For the demon race to fight with a single unit, there was no way the Limia Kingdom would fall so easily. Knowing that the flames of war were approaching his birthplace, his appearance clearly changed.

"You're right. The scale is about two thousand. Under normal circumstances, this was not a force that could be used to attack the capital of a great power "(Io)

In Io's words one could feel pity. He's sighing. While affirming Bredda's words, the latter part caused anxiety.

"What are you doing?" (Wudi)

To Wudi whose family was in the capital, those words felt like someone was dousing cold water on him while sleeping. For him who wanted his family as far away from this war as possible, something that should not have happened at any cost would have happened.

“Magician yes. Well, it's just that I have reliable reinforcements that's all. A power that could even overwhelm me was accompanying me ”(Io)

“Is the demon army jack-in-the-box? If anyone like you crawled around, the hyumans would have been exterminated long ago "(Hibiki)

Hibiki Sarcasm. But his words did not show any calm.

"Hero. That's how desperate we are. Now, let's close the curtain on this action. I will not forget your courage. Expel the spider with only 5 and become hyuman to the top. The fact that you all came out alive tells us that your strength is the real thing. There was a time when my best friend and I tried to make him retreat, but I ended up letting him die. A mistake from my young self, I really regret it "(Io)

"?!"

He did not answer Hibiki's words, he only declared the end of this fight. Also, repelling the disaster spiders that serve as emotional support for Hibiki and the others, Io points out that this is not an experience they achieved on their own.

There seems to be enough of an effect. A clear riot spreads at the hero's party. Words that hinted at Limia's ambush and that she had chased away the spider. There was no way that the hero Limia and her party would not be shaken from this.

(... I'm really naive. If I make 10 attempts, I will definitely get 10. Thinking that, I came. I'm risking my life here. I should have tried my best with 100, 1,000, 10,000 times! I should have done that!) (Hibiki)

What could he do in this desperate situation?

Defeat Io and save capital. As expected, he could clearly state this; that it was simply impossible.

Not quite. The power needed is not enough. For Hibiki, this was the frustration she was originally looking for. This was a step after the desperate attempt that Hibiki wanted. Therefore, getting this, the answer is obvious. Not okay.

The sweat on his cheeks and the hair on his face only irritated him. The girl who tried her best and still lost. It was exactly as Hibiki wished, but the girl began to understand what happened after on that path.

Exactly right. What reality will happen after the hero loses. The girl, Otonashi Hibiki, begins to understand the reality of her existence as a center of hope. His defeat was not just limited to himself anymore.

Sometimes, there were fights on the battlefield that could not be lost. Raised in a peaceful land, Hibiki, who thought this was just a fight in a different world, begins to see the reality in it. That he couldn't keep thinking like he did until now.

A feeling of defeat that was not comparable to when he was defeated by the black spider now enveloped Hibiki. For now, the entire party was still in a condition that could still fight. But the fact that they did not feel they could win, slowly broke their hearts.

“!!”

Faraway.

In a far away place.

Towards the capital of Limia.

A golden light with a proportion of gigantic magic power split the clouds and pierced through the ground.

Of course, this was an event that happened in a distant place. This was a phenomenon that could be seen with their eyes, but estimating the amount of magic power that light possessed was something Hibiki and the others could not do from their location.

The only thing they could know was that a strong pillar of light appeared, and it was golden in color.

"What's that?!" (Iw)

It seems Io also did not expect this to happen. It makes them feel a little better and they can still hope to get better. The anxious words that the demon general showed for the first time, sounded like music in Hibiki's ears.

“That might be a plan to turn things around. Everybody is! A little more, let's fight! ” (Hibiki)

“I'll accompany you!”

"Of course!"

"My magic power still hasn't dried up!"

"I'll do my best!"

Of course, there was no way they would have a convenient reversal plan. Everybody understands this.

But even so, the companions who answer the urge will not give up until the bitter end. This is the strongest weapon possessed by the hero Limia and her friends.

(Wudi-dono, I'm sorry. Can you give me a little bit of your time?)

(Naval-dono, what's wrong?) (Wudi)

Receiving a thought transmission from the girl standing with her sword beside Hibiki, Wudi responded without damaging his concentration. The contact from the Navy, something that could be counted in hand, shocked Wudi.

(This situation ... there may be a way to escape from it) (Sea Force)

(What ?! So you need my cooperation for that right?) (Wudi)

(Yes. I ... can't ask Chiya this) (Sea Force)

(... Let's listen to it) (Wudi)

(I am a pioneer who fights strong opponents can only do the work to get his attention. I have low attack power. Although I'm trying to find a powerful weapon, as you can see) (Sea Force)

Naval continued his movements as before, dodging Io's attacks while attacking. Seeing him attack the part where his defense looked weaker continuously, one could not feel any weakness from his words.

(I think putting the demon generals as the basis is a bit of a rash self-evaluation) (Wudi)

(No. I understand this myself. But as for the search for weapons, I have inconvenienced myself to be useful here) (Sea Force)

(What do you want to say?) (Wudi)

Conversations are held when Wudi provides support as well as attack magic. The two of them, without breaking their concentration in battle, continued their thought transmission. Show how much ability they have, people who are proficient.

(Yes, I obtained a secret plan that would explosively increase one's strength. And a method to obtain immense attack power as well. Unfortunately both can only be used once) (Sea Force)

(.. Naval-dono ie...) (Wudi).

(A magician like Wudi-dono probably already knew about it. Fragments of roses, Marks of Roses, and records of the god of death, * Deadly Word*; are their names. Enough amount of magic power needed to prepare it. activation and it is something I cannot use, but it is something that you should be able to finish easily) (Naval)

(I refused. Such a method, Hibiki-dono would also not agree to it) (Wudi)

(No need to tell me, I knew Hibiki would oppose the idea. But, you understand right? That hero escape is something that must happen. In a sense, Tomoki-dono's decision is more mature than Hibiki's) (Sea Force)

(Guh! That's right.) (Wudi).

The hero, Otonashi Hibiki, is an existence that must not be lost. Even if one were to eliminate the battle power as a hero, that charisma and way of thinking, and at the time of their ordinary words that could derive ideas from him, all of those were things that the Kingdom needed.

(That's why, I'm asking you. I want you to let me save Hibiki. You also want to live and reunite with your family right?) (Ocean Force)

(?! Those words ... it was cunning Naval-dono. ... Which one do you plan to use?) (Wudi)

(Thank you! Since it's already like this, I want to use both. Fight with the Roses to their limits and then settle them with the God of Death) (Sea Force)

(The ... two. You have decided yourself up to that point? ... Okay, I'll use all mine to help you. When given the signal, I will immediately take everyone and show you how I released the army at such a fast speed that would not even let them react) (Wudi)

(So you already know my last request yes. I thank you. Really.. thank you) (Sea Force).

Taking the opportunity as he dodged the giant's attack, the Navy moved to the rear where Bredda was.

“Sorry, Hibiki, Bredda. I have thought of a trivial plan so, is it alright to hand it over to me? ” (Navy Force)

"Sea Force! If you say this and leave the two of us to fight against this monster, it means that you have enough confidence right ?! ” (Hibiki)

“No mercy, this woman is merciless!” (Bredda)

Of course, the two of them were making complaints one after another. Their faces were filled with hope, so they were not really against the idea. Naval smiled at the behavior of the two. For the girl who hardly ever smiled, this was an unusual occurrence.

“Only a moment, I count on you guys!” (Ocean Force)

The navy retreated to the rear where Wudi and Chiya were. Wudi put on a tense and stern expression. Chiya had a pure face filled with motivation. Naval, looking at the faces of the two of them, smiled gently.

"Wudi-dono, please" (Sea Force)

He took out a coin-sized earth-colored object from the bag hanging on his waist. It was a form that seemed like the so-called "Roses of the Desert" had become smaller.

Next, one note. It had a thickness, and a material that could make people think it was a cloth, an engraved pattern.

Seeing the two objects being taken out, Wudi lowered his eyebrows and sighed deeply. Both items are the real deal.

“U-Uhm! What should I do?" (Chiya)

Chiya was unable to understand the situation and asked the two people who had faces as if they knew everything.

Even though he was young, he could still pay attention to the two remaining comrades to deal with the giant as he spoke. Chiya herself still did not know but, this was a decent development.

Hibiki, knew her hair would be combed, cut short. He learned about swords from the Navy and magic from Wudi. Seeing that sister-like existence, Chiya tried her best in her own way for the sake of walking beside that person forever. Continuing to experience the battlefield, Chiya had grown well.

“Chiya. Concentrate on both "(Ocean Force)

"No. Chiya, do your best in providing support to Naval-dono. Say strong spells so you don't have to reapply them for a long time ”(Wudi)

"U-understand!" (Chiya)

“... W-Wudi-dono” (Navy Force)

“Nah, next is the Rose Sign Yes. How are you going to smuggle that note to her? " (German)

"I'll wrap it around the handle" (Sea Force)

“Then let's fix it too. You remember the activation key right? ” (Wudi)

“As expected, it's not a joke. No problem "(Sea Force)

Perhaps he was trying to soften the mood a little, the party magician smiled and made a light question that was answered with a wry smile.

“... I didn't say that with joking intent. If you are heading to the once-in-a-lifetime stage, you should worry about those little things just in case ”(Wudi)

Magic power flowed from Wudi's hands and the earth-colored thing in Naval's hands dissolved into liquid and was absorbed within him.

The supporting magic filled with Chiya fighting spirit had also finished being used.

The navy, sensing the power flooding into his body, shook his shoulders. At first he thought it was because of the efficacy of Chiya's supporting magic, but this power that knew no bounds, ignoring the convenience of its users, this kind of violent power was not something that this little girl's magic possessed.

“I have confirmed activation. Start ”(Wudi)

Wudi's voice was business-like and resolute to the ears of the Navy. No need to tell him, his eyes were already facing the battlefield, on Io.

His white hair flowed in the wind and the back of his neck was revealed. On either side of his neck, there was something there. The rose pattern is dark red.

“... Rose Sign. Something I don't want to see in a friend if possible ”(Wudi)

“... Wudi-dono, this is my wish. Don't put on a face like that. Then.. I'm gone! ” (Navy Force)

From the rest of the Navy's running body, a faint light was released. On the figure that usually looks beautiful, Wudi saw her in pain, as if she wanted to cry.

“Uhm... What is the plan?” (Chiya)

"It's like a preparation for a sure-kill technique" (Wudi)

"Looky! Naval-san can use such a technique ?! ” (Chiya)

Seeing Chiya's innocent happiness, Wudi stopped kneading her magic for a while and looked up at the sky.

“... Yes. One time use ”(Wudi)

He whispered.

The voice dissolved into the darkness.
