Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

48 Explore The Former Strongest, Ruins

Apparently this place, not sure if it's a labyrinth or a ruin, is more troublesome than I thought.

What's so troublesome, of course...

- Sword Reason, Dragon God Protection, Regular Battlefield, Sign Detection Class: Surprise Invalid.

"Not at all... you don't even have time to rest"

- Sword Reason, God Killer, Dragon Killer, Dragon God Protection, Absolute Cutting, Massacre Sword, Talent of Seeing: Our Streams, Imitation, Demon Slashing Knife.

If you wave your arms straight to the side with the blur, it will mist right after you remember the slightest feeling.

It showed up through the walls. It was a kind of demon, something called the Ghost.

The figure is close to the robed human bone, but has no lower body and is translucent overall in the first place.

As a demon, it's classified as a Necromancer, even if you think about it because it's floating... well, it's such a demon.

That was the first attack, but apparently the walls can be ignored because they are immaterial, as opposed to abiotic.

Although it is easy to defeat because it is not strong, it is troublesome to show up from anywhere.

However, to put it the other way around, they are just troublesome and not troublesome.

Then it was this ruin itself, to say what is troublesome.

It's been about an hour, but we still don't even know where we're walking.

Although I'm not in such a hurry because I have a last resort if I have to, it won't make any difference.

"I mean, was this place this big? From what I've seen from the outside, I don't think it was this wide..."

"... Sure, if you ask me, it doesn't seem like it was big enough to keep walking for an hour. Even if I'm glued around, I think I'll just about reach the end of the line..."

"Yeah? What, neither of us noticed?

"Huh? He said he didn't realize... what?

"... the space here, it's distorted"

"It's distorted...... yeah, maybe it means it's bigger than it looks?

"On the contrary, in the first place, we are not even able to walk straight."

…… What do you mean? "

"... maybe, from time to time, the passage here moves somewhere else from passage to passage"

"Yes......? Oh, could that be..."

"Like that time at the entrance, is it?

"It's similar."

Technically, it's different, but if you look at the results alone, it doesn't make a big difference.

But it goes without saying which is worse in nature.

"Oh my God, I didn't realize that at all... I mean, if you know what I mean, just tell me!?

"I still haven't been able to read the regularity, and I still have the possibility to be aware of it because I don't know it."

"... I had no idea either. Why did your brothers notice?

"My life is the position of the sun. From time to time, I watched to see the direction I was walking, but there were times when I had changed my mind, even a few times."

The current position of the sun is almost directly above it.

But it is only almost, with a slight inclination present.

Sometimes it seemed different.

So far, even though I have always only walked straight, it is.

"You know that a lot... if I were you, I'd think it was my fault."

"That's what I thought at first, but I think it would be strange if it happened just so many times... Well, I would have easily noticed this depending on the time I got here, so I'm pretty unlucky."

"Mmmm... I still realized that, so that's just it. By the way, why is Sheila here?

"... I, look at Soma"

"Are you my age...?

I tilted my neck because I didn't mean to be that blatant.

Well, if it had been truly blatant, the Einas would have noticed.

"... I've looked up too many times just to check the perimeter"

"Hmm... I was going to be careful, but do you still mean my senior year..."

"Yeah? I was careful, why not?

"That, of course, does not seem to pass on to Eina and the others."

"Why not!?

To Aina, who screamed, shrugged her shoulders.

Of course, that's not the point of being mean.

There's a good reason.

Because...

"This time I realized it, but I don't always realize it. For this reason, I wanted to teach you the importance of taking a careful look around you from a practical experience. Especially for Aina."

"... Sure I get it, but why me in particular?

"Oh... I see."

"What, did Lina find out?

"Yes, it is. Basically, your brother needs to look forward and I need to look backwards."

"Ah... I see. So I'm the only one who can afford to look around..."

In short, it's a queue problem.

The somas are avant-garde with the basic soma, Eina as the middle guard, and Lina as the rear guard.

Though in general, Soma is confident in preventing surprise attacks as well, that is not absolute.

That's why Soma, of course, needs to be vigilant around Lina.

Because Sheila is here now, although Sheila is also entrusted with rear vigilance along with the rear guard, Aina is the only one who originally means that.

Therefore, Aina is the most desirable person to make a perimeter observation.

"The rest, simply, the more people who turn their attention to their surroundings, the more likely they are to find something. You just need to be aware that it's pointless when you're all conscious and you're not paying attention to other things."

"By me, you mean watch your back, right?

"That's what this is all about"

While nodding, pay attention to your surroundings and move on.

While doing so, Soma thought it would be a good teaching material for her, etc.

Demons are no big deal, and for less danger, the trick is plain vicious.

It depends on how long you've been here... but if you don't realize it, you could end up locked up for a long time.

But there's so much I can teach you because it's such a place.

If we think about the future, that should have been useful later.

... Well, apart from that, sometimes I'm a little concerned, but I guess it's a chase.

"... n, a little envious, maybe?

"Yeah? What is it?

"... from soma, taught me all kinds of things?

"Though, I think I know that Sheila is better at these things than I am at my age?

I know that's what Soma does, because when he trained for swords in his previous life, he also went to labyrinths and such.

But since the training of swords was the main thing, there is not much to know in itself.

I just know a few things about what I hear and what I've been through, so there's nothing I can talk about.

Besides, it will often be different from this one, so all we can talk about is what we think would be common.

Though I had been around some ruins with Aina and the others before I went to Yardster, there were only a few places where there were no demons.

From the conversation, Sheila has obviously been to this site several times, so Sheila obviously knows better.

"... Well, I'll teach Soma?

"Hmm... it would help if you did."

"... ok"

He seems somewhat convinced and smiles bitterly at the way he snorts.

And as we looked sideways at Aina and the others saying they wanted us to tell them, we looked around.

"Mmm, looks like the passage here has just changed position, you understand?

"What, lie!?

"... I noticed"

"... I didn't realize that at all."

"From now on, we should observe it with some more care. Although slight, slight discomfort occurs."

"... ok, I'll be careful"

"It is!

That's how the two staring around seem to forget how to pay attention to the others...... well, you should pay attention to that later.

Now I should let things go through, and if I turned my gaze to Sheila, she nodded small.

Apparently, Sheila agrees.

Well, it's just...

"Hmmm... I'm starting to understand the rules of travel to some extent, but I can't help it with the location... do I have to go the wrong way in the end with the exit? We may have to take into account the use of last resort."

"... I have a bad feeling about it somehow, but I'll ask you something. What are you going to do as a last resort?

"Yeah? Of course, we're going to rip this ruin apart."

"Ha!? Joke...... so it's not, is it?

"Naturally."

So far, Soma hasn't even scratched one against the wall on this ruin, or even taken care not to hurt it.

That's because Sheila is the same, but maybe the same idea.

Because, given that there are verses where this ruin is interfering with space, you don't know what will happen if you hurt some of them poorly.

In the worst case scenario, the distortion of space can be strange and blown away to an unexpected location.

That would be the difficulty of helping everyone, no matter what soma, if it were to be blown away even beyond the sky.

And I break it badly, and I have trouble with whatever it is I'm after.

That's why I'm being very careful... but if I had to, I wouldn't even be able to say that.

"... then, unfortunately, I had no choice"

"That's my brother, he's fancy!

"Sure it's fancy, but doesn't that mean we don't know what's going to happen either!?

"Well, don't worry, I will protect you properly then. As long as you're ready… well you'll figure it out"

"What, uh...!? Damn, that does seem reassuring...... not! That's not the problem!

"So what's the problem? Sheila, the client, says she has no choice."

"... everyone's life is more important"

"Ugh... so... what about Soma?

"Are you my age?

"Um... if it's really something here, and the magic is going to be available, and it's broken, isn't Soma in trouble?

"Hmm... that could be troublesome"

Trouble, on the contrary, is definitely trouble.

Besides, you can't regret breaking it with your own hands or anything.

But.

"Still, Aina's life cannot be replaced. In the first place, if I don't do so then my whole life will die... and in case there is such a thing here, then I will find it elsewhere again. My life is surprisingly long, so there are no problems to that extent."

Answering that way, Fujisoma thought that she was something quite different compared to her previous life.

It's something I've thought about a little before... but if it was maybe back in my previous life, I don't think I would have said the same thing.

That's what he might have said if he couldn't get it in his hands, he'd be better off dead, etc.

But I don't think so now.

I don't think so.

That, in a way, made Soma weaker, maybe... but I thought that it was okay.

"That's why... Eina?

When she realized why, Aina was pointing that way.

If it's not my fault, it's like those ears are dyed red -

"Oh, nothing. Shit... but I get it. If that's what you're saying, I'm not against it anymore."

"Brother and brother, by the way, I will also protect you then!?

"Yeah? Naturally..."

"Then I agree!

"... what about me?

"I think Sheila was in favor earlier...?

"... I don't like being out of company"

"Hmm... well, whatever it takes, I'm certainly not going to protect Sheila either."

"... I don't know"

"So now, if you have to, you can break this place."

Of course in the worst case scenario, we can't break this place, or we can't do anything about it... but Soma is convinced that it will be okay.

What, even if that really happened, it's just a matter of Soma being prepared to suffer from muscle aches for a few days or so then.

Compared to the strongest dragon, it doesn't matter about the ruins.

"... well, I hope not."

"... n"

Sheila and I, sneering, and Soma and the others went further to avoid it for now.
