Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru Chapter 125

“Hey, hey . Have we arrived too late?”

A somewhat rough looking, slender man was walking as he dragged an orc corpse and glared .

He had the look of a sadistic thug .

“This is…astounding . ”

This was muttered by a woman with white hair . She reminded me of a school prefect .

“Damn it . I rushed here by Virgil’s orders . And for nothing!”

Said a girl who carried a large axe .

“Indeed, it seems like we might as well have not come… Surely he can deal with it alone…? What a waste of time…”

Said a sharp-tongued woman as she sighed . She was the gothic lolita type .

“…”

And there was a large man who remained silent . He seemed like the kind of brute who would rather fight with his fists .

The last person in the group was a handsome woman . Daniela .

They were the group that Virgil had sent . I thanked them for coming all this way before saying:

“Well, aren’t you a colorful group of characters!”

Of course, I didn’t include Daniela in that observation .

I had assumed that things would move much more quickly with these six additions, but that wasn’t really the case . They orcs had struggled enough when I was their only enemy, and now there were more of us . The orcs started to retreat when they saw this, and we had to chase them as they frantically fled to the other side of the valley . The orcs had prepared a new bridge by bringing several logs . This time it was much wider, and it was evident that it was prepared so that they could attack in much larger numbers than before .

“So, what should we do?”

Elena, the prefect-like girl, asked me . Well, I assumed she was, as she was looking towards me . But I didn’t have any authority here . It was Virgil who made decisions .

“Why are you asking him? It is Virgil who decides . Are you stupid?”

I was happy to have someone come in with the same opinion that I had, however, I did wonder if she couldn’t speak a little less venomously . Of course, I was talking about Beatrice, who was the gothic lolita one . She was currently twirling a black parasol over her head . It was a moonlit night .

“Well, let’s return then . Come on, Drake . ”

The sadistic thug, also known as Dante, was silently obeyed by the large man called Drake .

Having so many newcomers at once made it difficult to keep track of things… But I suppose it didn’t matter, as long as I knew Daniela . Yes . That’s it . Daniela was everything .

“Perhaps we should just confirm the direction that they headed in . ”

Charlotte, the girl with the battle axe, said as she stretched her neck to gaze at the other side of the valley . Then we all made our way back . Though, I too memorized the location .

After that, I took the rear as we walked through the forest . There were dead orcs everywhere . Cut, shredded, gouged, burned, buried, mangled… It was the kind of sight that I could only describe as a kind of hell . If this was their work, I might as well just hide in Daniela’s shadow like a cat and wait for this battle to be over . It was quite frightening .

“Hey, Asagi . You seemed quite capable on your own?”

Charlotte said to me, as she walked backward .

“Well, yes . Ultimately I was fine being alone . But I was glad that you all came . ”

“Hah! You flatter us . But I don’t doubt your intentions . He’s a good one!”

She pointed a finger at me . I bowed slightly in thanks to her approval .

“But perhaps you could have told us in advance? I had wished to stay within the fort, but was forced to come out here . I would not have wanted to fight these filthy orcs . ”

“Then why are you here at all? Wasn’t it to participate in this orc hunting quest?”

Elena heard Beatrice’s complaint and did not ignore it . She really was the prefect-type . She must hate things that she didn’t consider proper… But really, this had nothing to me . And so I silently wished them luck and talked only to Daniela .

“Daniela, are you sure that you should have left your magician group?”

“Aye, it is fine . I put a very capable person there in my place . ”

“I see . Well, they must be doing well to be able to spare you . ”

“Yes…I hope so…”

Even if she said it was alright, there seemed to be a little anxiety . She was even walking a little fast .

As the forest grew thicker, we got closer to the fort . The number of orc corpses also grew, and we could see how savage the fighting had been here as well .

There were several light-armored Adventurers cautiously moving in the area . Either they were searching for survivors or they were scouting . I waved a hand at them and they waved tired hands back .

It was bittersweet, but we were happy to see that they were alright .

Shortly after, the walls of the fort came into view . There were now thorns poking out from the walls . Strange . I would die if I fell on one of them .

“Hmm…it must be the work of one of the users of earth magic . It will be harder to attack the walls now . You won’t remain unharmed if you got close . ”

“Ah, yes . It’s very intimidating to look at, but there is a logical utility as well . ”

Well, they were rather extreme . These worshippers of Daniela . These methods revealed much about their personalities .

The entrance of the fort had two piles of orc corpses in front of it, almost as if a bulldozer had driven through the snow . We passed the bodies and entered the fort in order to rest . Those who saw us return waved to us happily . It was a bit like a triumphant return, and I felt quite good about it .

And it was with such feelings that I headed for Virgil’s tent, when an Adventurer ran up to me . It was Lauria, my first ever fan .

“Asagi, welcome back!”

“Ah, thanks . I see you’re also safe . ”

Lauria laughed happily . A good girl .

“Oh, but you are drenched in blood again! Cleaning!”

Her magic cleansed me of the orc blood that was soaked in my hair and clothing . It really was impressive… Beatrice and Charlotte, who were walking with me, also widened their eyes in amazement .

“Thanks, Lauria . You’ve saved me again . ”

“Oh, this is nothing . But more importantly, Virgil’s been searching for you . He’s in the tent with Angelica . ”

With Angelica . That meant the search was to begin .

“Got it . I’ll go at once . Thanks . ”

“I-I’m just delivering the message! See you!”

She said quickly and then ran back to her tent . An upright person . Perhaps having fans like that would help improve my bad reputation .

“Ohh…that was amazing . That magic . ”
“It was… But she could have helped us too…”

My companions were still filthy . They looked at me a little reproachfully, but it was hardly my own fault . Now, to see Virgil . …But first…

“Thank you for coming . I hope that we can fight together again . ”

I said . I had not been able to see too much, but they were all brilliant . Very skilled .

Elena’s abilities with the sword were so advanced, that some of her victims continued to run for a bit before falling apart . Beatrice fought with a spear, not her parasol, and pierced the hearts of orcs with precision . Not much needed to be said of Charlotte’s axe . But there were no orcs who could successfully avoid those heavy blows .

The Dante and Drake pair was also frightening to watch… the slicing, shredding, choking and bashing… They must have been fun playmates as children .

“Hmph . We were the most unnecessary reinforcements . But, well, I enjoyed it . ”

“Yes . He was just as the rumors said . ”

“You do not get called Silvergreen for nothing . I am quite jealous . ”

They said . And I suppose it meant that we were on generally good terms now . Well, maybe not with Beatrice .

“I am going back to the magician group . I will see you later . ”

“Yeah . Thanks, Daniela . ”

“It was nothing . I belong in the place that you happen to be in . I was only returning . ”

She said, then turned away . Ah, she really was so cool… Alright, I would have to continue to work so that I wasn’t an embarrassment as her partner .

I said farewell to the other three and headed for Virgil’s tent .
