Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Episode 24: The Gathering Friends

"... well, Mr. Sato"

The President of the Commission approximated the circumstances so far. A woman, Mr. Sato, died in a battle with a herd of Goma with a red dog like a hound. Her vocation was to be an archer, and during the battle she stood rearward and thoroughly covered, but with the collaboration of the Red Dog and Goma and, more importantly, in that number, she allowed the siege and was taken back.

Even if the chairman of the committee and Mr. Natsukawa try to get to help, best to the enemy in front of them. They kept fighting and around half the number shredded, they finally saw him as an unfit opponent, or pulled him up. By the time the battle was over, Mr. Sato's body was already not there. At the same time as the retreat, Goma and I must have dragged it off as bait hunted.

He said that while the two of us were worn out, we managed to move on and reach this fairy square.

"Wow, I... I don't think I can do this anymore... but Aemon and Cherry Blossom said it was good that you were here, and I still think I might be able to figure it out... ugh!

"It's okay, it's okay, Miwa. If there are four of you, I'm sure you'll be fine."

It hurts to see Natsukawa crying out of his tears again. For one thing, let's leave it to the cherry blossoms to comfort her and calm her down.

"I'm ready, I was going to... but after all, I'm shocked to hear someone sacrificed it"

"In addition to Sato, there must be more people who are sacrificing."

Seeing the chairman of the committee with a heavy sigh, that can't be, I couldn't easily say.

"Actually, before Mr. Sato, Mr. Twin Leaves, too..."

"Oh no, why not!?

"She wasn't fit to fight. Goma stabbed me, no means to heal me, just like that."

Oh, God, damn it. That's when, if there were cherry blossoms...... absolutely, I would have been helped. Above all, let the Chairman of the Commission leave his injured companion without what a cruel imitation.

"Damn... I don't have a choice, I'm not saying. But if that's the case, all my classmates, we need to rendezvous soon. I don't want any more extra sacrifices."

"All my classmates... have you received information that you have up to three people to escape?

I nodded "Oh," to the inquiry of the chairman of the committee, who darkened his complexion even further.

I think it was definitely when we got to the third fairy square. 'Heavenly Delivery Gate' that it is at the deepest end of the dungeon and the core required for start-up. And a desperate number limit: up to three people can dive the gate. The news got under me, too.

"There are those who turn to the enemy."

"Yeah, maybe."

"Become an earthquake, even a betrayer."

"Yeah, it's not an impossible story"

"Still, we should get everyone together, I wonder"

Everyone wants to survive, the same. No one wants to die. And you can kick someone else's ass, because you're the only one, and I want to help you with anything - even people who think so. I'm sure a lot of people think so. A survival instinct, natural as a human being.

"Mr. Chairman, there are already four of us here."

"... yeah, right"

"I don't want to abandon anyone. Cherry blossoms, chairman of the committee, Natsukawa. I can't do that if someone asks me to cut one off. And I'm not going to sacrifice myself to keep the three of you alive."

"Pfft, stay with me. Luxury, I suppose."

"In this situation, then, maybe I am. But I'll see what I can get through that selfishness. I won't abandon anyone. All the guys who survived, they're bound to go back to their original world!

There's no way I can give up. Thus, more than a real sacrifice has been made, it is outrageous. My resolve becomes even harder.

Yes, I wanted to be strong to overshadow this irrational situation. It would be the power of the 'brave' for that.

"Ha... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Yodo. I said all I didn't like... even I should have thought so, really, sincerely at first."

"No, that's okay, committee chairman. In this situation, then, you can't help but feel weak."

No matter how calm the settling, brainy chairman of the Commission sees two victims as they continue to stand, it would be a mental limit. Well, until just before you joined us, we lost Mr. Sato and we were alone. Even our own lives were in danger.

I can't believe you're so calm.

"The demons are horrible, but if everyone with the 'vocation' gets together, I'm sure we can fight them. Maybe we can all find a way to get them off at the Heavenly Gate, and worst of all, just walk away."

There is no doubt that there is at least a human kingdom in this world. Walking around the world, this planet was, in fact, an undisclosed planet without the existence of mankind, because there is no one else. If you walk, there's a chance you can get out of here.

"Yodo, if you say so, I feel like I can do such an unscrupulous thing."

"I have a 'vocation' now, and I think it's pretty handsome,"

Not only is he capable of combat like me, but he may also have a good ability to survive. With such a bunch of capable people, they are far more likely to survive than to survive as normal people.

"Well, he said we could work it out. Plus, you'll be able to rendezvous with Ryuichi."

"Hey, hey, why are you giving him his name there!

Instead, I feel like if I don't get it out here, when am I gonna get it out?

"What are you laughing at? Excuse me."

"Haha, I'm sorry. I just wish I could see Ryuichi soon. After all, he's the only one who can be relieved of his back."

"Well, I hear you're surprisingly impotent, too, Yudo."

"You're out of your mind, 'cause I'm just involved."

What do you say?

Somehow, I'd be dishonored to say that I like it and fight, but, well, for now, it seems good that the chairman of the committee has regained his energy.

"By the way, Yudo, what's your vocation? I've come this far in plenty of room, and it's a pretty strong vibe, isn't it?

"Oh, my vocation-- uh, hey, don't laugh, okay?

I won't laugh, and the chairman of the committee nods with a cool smile. All right, I'll believe that word.

"... my vocation is to be 'brave'"

"Hahaha! I can't believe you're really being brave!

Yes, the committee chairman's liar. No!

The four of us went to the dungeon to find other classmates, as much as we rested. Even so, for now, I just have to move on as the magic team's compass shows me. Everyone else should be able to rendezvous one day because they should be relying on this.

"Quick, you're out...... Natsukawa-san, are you ready?

"Yeah, I'm fine! Aoshi will fight with you next door. It's very comforting."

The boulevard I was walking on, from its front, a swarm of zombies is approaching with a groan. Even in that situation, Mr. Natsukawa put up a weapon in his hand with a sunny smile, as usual. She has a knife in her right hand and a knife in her left. The knife was taken from Goma, but he says the knife is the shape of Mr. Twin Leaves.

That's how she was avant-garde by herself because she had the ability to cut from the front with the demon. No matter how 'natural' there is, it's too harsh for a girl to fight a demon by herself.

Unfortunately, I still don't have the strength to defend it. I can't win alone, I can't protect you. So now, give us all a hand.

"I will protect Natsukawa-san's back."

"To, ah, thank you, Aoshi..."

I blushed my cheeks for some reason and I was distracted from my gaze, but I am happy to say that I am a little trusted. It's a good trend. With a companion you can count on, you will be able to afford your mind, stand around more calmly, safely and securely.

All right, we'll show you a good place here, and we'll do our best to make sure Mr. Natsukawa can count on us.

"Brother, Miwa, I will enchant you."

"Oh, thank you."

I got The Guardian of Light (Holy Enchant) from cherry blossoms on my sword, Mr. Natsukawa's knife and knife, and I'm ready for battle. But, cherry blossom guy, why are you a little grumpy? I feel like I have a tough voice.

"Then, Ryoko, cover Yorosik! Aemon, let's go!

"Oh!"

With a blade with a holy white glow, Natsukawa and I were both slashed into a zombie group at the speed of "Disease (High Walk)".

"My brother and Miwa have already stuck too much into their enemies!

When Natsukawa-san and the zombies were exterminated and returned in a spirit of exasperation, the cherry blossoms angered me.

"Oh, I'm sorry, cherry blossoms. But if I was with Aoshi, it would have been a lot easier to fight, or a little fun."

"Well, sure, I apologize for being a little on track,"

I felt Natsukawa-san's combat ability up close and couldn't stop the momentum. There can't be a girl in the original world who can fight with such a quick move. But I'm glad its strength is now, and it's fun to be able to fight shoulder to shoulder - well, if you crash like that, you'd be pissed off then.

"Well, that's good, cherry blossoms. We don't have much time to cover it. Aoshi, your strength is overwhelming, and Miwa can safely fight in front of you."

"Oh, Natsukawa-san, even if I shelter him, I'll protect him."

"Ha! Oh, that's, Aemon, that's..."

"It doesn't make sense if your brother gets hurt!

"It's okay. 'Cause then you can have cherry blossoms cure you, right?

"Ugh! That's not the problem."

I meant to be utterly sincere, but the cherry blossoms have finally gotten furious as if they had somehow oiled the fire. At all, even though it's natural for a man to shelter a girl. What are you so angry about?

"But from now on, let's fight a little more calmly, including the point of practicing working with us."

After eating a scattered sermon on cherry blossoms just for me, we started walking the dungeon again, employing the committee chairman's policy.

Until now, just me and Cherry Blossom could handle a small herd of demons. Here, moreover, with the addition of Natsukawa, who boasts a quick and sharp melee capability as a 'bandit', and the chairman of the committee, who can carry out attacks and defenses with diverse ice magic as an 'ice magician', the power simply doubles, no, more synergistic.

Honestly, no matter how many zombies and red dogs show up anymore, I don't feel like losing.

"- Brother!"

"I've had enough of this one alone! Beat the other one for three!

We arrived at a large forest dome, where a large group of red dogs attacked us. Leading the herd is the first big boss dog I've ever seen. Two of them, too. Is it a male and female twat? The two are not bosses leading separate herds, but, as only one team, they attack each other using a more tactical collaboration than they think is a dog.

If it were just me and Cherry Blossom, I'd take a lot of risk working with this number before... but now I have some friends I can count on. After all, I'm not even dusty enough to lose.

"'Triple Flashes (Tri-Slash)'!

The great trick of seeing the three consecutive sword flashes I unleashed cuts off the sky by a skilfully flipped boss dog. I've seen out such an attack, but I'm the boss dog who distorted his mouth like I made a fool of him somewhere... you mean the dog? You're gonna catch me on such a visible feint.

"- There it is!

Sharply rolled out is a single knife. My left hand is empty because only one of my right hands released 'Tri-Slash'. So, if you throw a knife at him while applying 'rigidity (Forth Boost)', even a thick furry boss dog, a blade pierces him deeply.

"Gaw!

A boss who hits the flank and screams sadly. The gap is too deadly.

I stuffed the distance intact and dropped the boss dog's neck with a 'flash (slash)' before I regained my posture.

"You did it, Yudo."

"Oh, good luck over there"

At the same time I tailed the boss dog, it seemed like all three of them had defeated the boss dog well. Well, Mr. Natsukawa's knife is going to strike after a concentrated fire of light and ice from the cherry blossoms and the chairman of the committee, so it won't last thirty seconds with about the boss dog's ability.

Our victory was decided at a stage when the herd shredded enough to allow the boss to approach us. When the two bosses fall, the remaining herds quickly flee.

"... this is"

When I tried to recover the core from the boss dog, it became a particle of light and disappeared, just like when I defeated the armored bear.

Acquired Skills

"Fire Resistance (Ignis Protection)": Reduces damage to fire attributes.

A mechanical message that comes to mind.

I see, this light turns out to be a signal when I get acquired skills? Because shining particles seem to be sucking into my body, maybe even absorbing demonic power with magical powers.

Whatever it is, it's easy to understand. At the end of the day, it's also convenient to keep only the core clean, saving time in removing it.

So our dungeon offense went well. Full of fighting power, reliable companions. With each battle, me and everyone acquire a new 'vocation' ability and become even stronger.

But I hadn't seen the real horror of the dungeon yet. Despite being torn once by an armored bear, I had forgotten that facing 'death' in a true sense was on this far too smooth journey.

Such an idiotic wake-up incident for me occurred when I arrived at the widest, most extensive stone space ever.

"- Oh, my God!

The scream of ripping silk echoes. I could understand not bothering to say that someone in my classmate was being attacked there.

We rush to the back of the screaming room. Please, you have to make it.

"Out of the way. Yeah, eh!

There were so many gomas in the herd that I had never seen before. As usual, cannibals like black goblins dressed in dirty clothes and with crude weapons in their hands. But no matter how many, they're not our enemies now.

I will not hesitate to slash into the Goma herd. Immediately behind you, Natsukawa follows, with the cherry blossoms and the committee chairman's backup shooting flying in. He stepped over the mutilated Goma's body and cut through the blood path, quickly entering the interior of the siege.

That's where I was.

"Ah, Aemon!? Ajin-kun!

"What, it's Aoi!

Two girls I'm used to seeing. One is smaller, weaker, like a little animal who wants to protect you than Mr. Natsukawa. The other is Rin, featuring a long pawnee tail, bravely erected with a rusty long sword and dagger duplicity.

Both classmates. And he's my friend.

"Little birdie and I'll be there tomorrow!

Good, from what I've seen, we're both still safe. Little birds play little birds if you're small. Tomorrow's Kenzaki is the one with the sword.

Mr. Little Bird Player has also lost his weapon, and he is blubbering and trembling while standing flat. And tomorrow that stands in shelter on her back, to protect her.

"Thanks! It looks like you've got company."

"Oh, cherry blossoms and committee chairman together"

"I'm here too. Yikes!

"Ahhh! Miwa!"

Natsukawa, who ascended one step late, stands in a position opposite that of tomorrow to shelter Mr. Little Bird Play. Now it's me up front and tomorrow, Natsukawa-san in the rear, and I can protect Little Bird Play. If I were one step too late, I'd be pissed.

"Tomorrow, anyway, we'll clean up this herd of goma."

"No, if you're a herd, it's not much of a problem. Ao-jin, calm down, look at me..."

I sweat a large grain of cold on my cheeks, and I follow that gaze tomorrow that faces forward with a dark look.

There, armed gomers, who stand side by side just like their surroundings. No, no, in the back, there's something.

"Hey, what is he..."

Sole was a pretty big figure. Shadow, no, Soitz just has the same bright black skin as Goma. But the body is large, as if it were a completely different species. Far bigger than me, looks like he's about two meters tall. And most importantly, not only are they tall, but their flesh is flexion itself. Like a bodybuilder, he wraps around a large, shaken muscle armor.

But its cloudy yellow eyeballs and bloody dirty large mouthed empty faces make him realize that he is a goma.

"Guh, guh, guh"

He looked at me and laughed. Laughing, with that mouth, I was eating something, bright red meat - no, human arms.

"Become!?

"... I'm in Takasaka"

Hey, what? Are you saying that my arm, which is being pulled apart and fed by Goma, belongs to Hongki?

Hiroki Takasaka is my friend. No, I might call you my best friend. I've been dating since my first year of middle school, and next to Ryuichi, I was a long-time friend of mine.

I was counting on you. Normally, he always cared about me and followed me around strangely. Naturally, even with this dungeon offense, Hiroki can help me. He would cooperate, depend on me, be one of us... I should have.

"Lies, you know..."

"I'm sorry, Aoi... I just couldn't help Takasaka"

No, you don't have to apologize for that tomorrow. 'Cause Hiroki liked you.

Surrounded by so many enemies, there's no way Hiroki won't fight to help you. It should have been a chance. I can show you a cool place there tomorrow, it would have been a chance. It's the best opportunity I can finally, for the first time, approach tomorrow, when I publicly declare that only a strong man will admit it.

That's, oh, why, why... I can't believe this is going to end so unharmed... Oh, that can't be good.

"I'm sorry, Aoshi, but I don't have time to be sad right now. Look, he's strong. He slashed down Takasaka with a knight's vocation in one blow."

Goma looks at me again and laughs as she sips the arm of the Hongki in one breath. Are you happy that you have more delicious prey?

Was Takasaka a a 'knight'? I don't know what the configuration of that capability is, but still, it would definitely have been for combat. Such a high slope in one blow. How powerful is he... No, the secret of attack is the weapon he grips.

Tomorrow, that knife...

"Demon knife, I guess. Apparently, it's not the illusion of an eye that's wearing something like a red moya around his body."

Goma is holding a sword in her right hand. Quite a long blade, a machete. Tomorrow, as that said, from a beautiful body with its rippled ripples, a disastrous bright red aura was rising.

It is apparent at first glance that Koitz has an exceptionally high combat capability compared to other Goma. Is it the boss who can follow them? With all this head count, when you see where the Goma and the Goma don't come in for a breath, you wait for this boss Goma to kill his prey immediately, something like that?

Either way, we just need to be prepared to deal with Bosgoma and all of this still massive army of Goma.

"Aoshi, I appreciate you guys coming... but still, it's going to be a tough fight. You ready for this?

Ready, 'cause. I guess that's the right question to ask, tomorrow that. I don't even have to ask you that now.

'Cause this is-- my friend, he killed me. There will be no forgivable wax.

"Let's go, that tomorrow. It's a mourning battle for Hiroki."

Without any hesitation or fear, I was slashed into a boss goma that stood between my eyes.
