Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

199 Former Strongest, Encounter A Strange

The moment I saw it, Soma was narrowing her eyes reflexively.

That's because compared to before, it was a clear difference.

Baron Arvent collar yardster.

The city at the end of its gaze seemed to have smoke rising from all its places, if not from the wrong sight.

And the smell that's coming this far shows that it's not what's flowing out of the chimney, it's something burning.

"... eh"

Sheila was moving before anyone said anything.

He didn't even shake his side and ran straight to Yardster.

I wasn't even going to stop it more than I did, but that wouldn't have been something I could have stopped where I tried to.

"What do you say...... you get a little jealous. Mr. Doris is more important to Sheila."

"Well... I'm sure Doris is important to Sheila, but I wonder if Felicia would say that."

"... Really?

You know or not, Soma shrugs her shoulders back to the inquiry as she leans her neck.

I chose to confront Soma for my sister, so I take it for granted... well, just saying that myself would be allergic in many ways.

So instead of answering, I uttered another word.

"In the meantime, can I go too? I don't think Sheila alone would be okay, but it could be just in case."

"I know it's okay...... shouldn't we all go something else?

"Hmm, I don't know what the situation is, so I thought I should look into it first... I don't know what the situation is, so I can't say anything about staying here."

Then surely, it would be easier to do something for me to stay within sight.

"So let's all go."

Copy that, sir.

"Well, there's finally been a change... I wonder if this has anything to do with what's been going on?

"Well, if you go, you'll see."

We're on our way anyway.

Whatever it is... I think I need to keep my mind on it more than ever.

As they nodded at each other, Soma and the others followed Sheila and headed towards Yarster.

What I felt the moment I stepped into the city was a stronger smell.

There's all sorts of things mixed in. That's the smell of the city burning, if you say so.

To a burnt out house, crushed ground.

It hasn't been that long since things have happened, and the fire is smoking everywhere.

The smoke that rose like a curse was in the air in vain.

It is clear that something has happened here.

I lurked my eyebrows at the damage that would be clearer as I moved on... but at the same time I leaned my neck because there was an inexplicable point.

"Hmm... it looks like the body doesn't exist."

…… What's wrong with that? Better than that's wild, isn't it?

"No, that's true...... obviously not so much time has passed since something happened here? I honestly think we can afford to do something about the body."

"So what about the possibility that there were no bodies in the first place?

"Not that it's possible... but in circumstance, some of the houses seem to be completely destroyed. The fact that no body has been found means that the residents were able to evacuate somewhere by detecting this beforehand..."

"Not," he said?

"I still don't deny it as a possibility, but as an evacuation in the first place, it is difficult to think about where..."

From here to the nearest city, it should have taken a whole day.

Moreover, with all of us, it can take even longer to travel.

The escorts in the meantime, even if the adventurers did, would be quite dangerous, and most importantly, I don't think they could all be accepted ahead of the evacuation.

If we disperse the places of refuge, it will only be more dangerous.

As far as this is concerned, it is likely that something has struck, but there is also the question of how we foresaw it.

It's like attacking a city.

Normally we would try to intercept first, and if we were to realize that was impossible, we wouldn't be able to evacuate in time this time.

If, coincidentally, you know beforehand that a fairly dangerous existence strikes the city, and you decide that evacuation is better, it's impossible... well, as much as you think about that possibility, it's more meaningful to think about another possibility.

"So what does Soma think this is all about?

"Hmm, I do...... well, the only thing that comes to mind is that the body ate all of that attacking stuff?

"Eat... ugh"

"Hey, Soma......!

"Um, that was just too insensitive right now. I'm sorry."

"Yes, no... because it's okay"

Though it is Felicia who answered that, its complexion is clearly poor.

Whatever the situation is.

I guess I've clearly pictured that sight.

There's nothing I can do to justify being turned to blame by Eina.

It was clearly Soma's fault.

Nevertheless, the words I just said, I'm not even kidding.

It is the demons that are most likely to strike here, so those possibilities will never be denied.

It is merciless, but much more so, at least compared to the possibility that everyone has evacuated.

But there was Doris here.

Naturally you would have known about demons living around you, and if such dangerous demons existed, you couldn't have been on guard.

Some kind of hand would have hit it so this wouldn't happen.

In the first place, the city is a historic town that also has guild branches.

It is not uncommon for a village not to have a demon shelter junction, but it should have existed properly here.

Nevertheless, a demonic avoidance junction basically costs money to maintain.

Normally, therefore, what is assumed from the surrounding demons is stretched out.

Not all demons can be managed even by the name of avoiding demons.

Unless it's Wang Du or something like that, but what's on here will only prevent that from breaking in until some demon.

But that's why if dangerous demons are within reach, there's no way they haven't been countered.

If so, it is most likely that such demons have suddenly appeared, but such stories -

"... yeah? No, speaking of which, tell a similar story...?

"Soma? You figured something out?

"... No, you can't say anything yet. I haven't been able to grasp the situation at all... well, not until Sheila and I rendezvous."

"Well... if you were really attacked by a demon, it might still be lurking"

I'm just curious to say I care about that too.

At least in this city, I don't feel any signs that something is rampant.

After you left, are you hiding, were you defeated... or were you not attacked by demons in the first place?

It's harder to think about the possibility of being defeated than not feeling any other sign of a person.

"I'm also curious that the rest has something to do with what's happened so far. What we have in common is that we don't see people, so I don't think it matters..."

"Including that, later."

While I was saying that, the destination was approaching right there.

Sheila quickly lost sight of herself, but there was no stray ahead of the Somas because we knew immediately where she had gone.

At the end of Soma's gaze is a single building.

Although there was some damage to the outer wall, it retains its original appearance.

That's where Soma and Sheila first met.

It was an Alliance branch in this city.

"This is where Sheila used to be..."

"I know there's a lot to think about, but shall we just go inside? Sheila's here, isn't she?

"There are signs, and they seem to be here."

I was a little wondering what I would do if they moved me, but apparently you were there.

That's how I went inside...... inside the guild was desolate.

There are familiar chairs and tables scattered around them, and they are scattered over them.

There was no regularity there, as if it was just the purpose of being exposed, and all that was left was after destruction.

In that place, Sheila was standing alone, with Potsung.

"... Sheila"

Felicia reaches out on that back, but stops along the way.

Probably even thinking about something extra.

I sighed out that it was troublesome - I looked back.

"Oh, have you noticed? Damn, it's as big as ever."

I could see Sheila reacting in the rear to a familiar voice.

It was a familiar figure that showed up to go with it.

"... Doris?

He replied with a grin to a half-hearted grunt.

Bringing it to a bitter smile, take a step closer...

"Hey Sheila, what's that voice and face? Did you think I was screwed? Who do you think you are... you have no choice, my daughter? I don't know what to do at times like this."

That's what I said and with a grin, I pulled the gun out of my hips.

It was too natural an operation.

It's like saying so naturally… but what those who see it think is another story.

"... Huh?

As it shows, a few moments late, I heard a whine leaking out of Sheila.

And.

"So here's what happens."

The gunshots echoed, as they were disputed by it.
