148 The wishes of the monster girls
With the unexpected participation of fairies, the cherry blossom viewing event ended up being a great success.
The release of the next sealed door is still a long way off. In order, it would probably be the door that seals the magical water vein. I know where the door is, and it looks like I can afford to relax for a while.
First, I'd like to start with something that had been put off because I had to recover my health and prepare for cherry blossom viewing.
Clay golems, aqua golems, and golems made of different materials are lined up in the courtyard of the workshop.
“Are you starting something again?”
It seems that Alfred's work has come to a halt as well. When he peeked out into the courtyard and saw the scene, he tilted his head and asked:
It seems that he is currently making an alarm system. This time it's a timed ceremony. By creating a system that allows magic stones to be set only during the necessary times, an alarm will sound if anyone crosses the barrier and enters the premises. It's a much simpler mechanism than last time...well, it's more like a night guard companion.
"Hmm. I learned a trick I wanted to learn."
It's about learning the batting method used by Gardinis.
I don't know what Alfred will think when he sees it...but I don't know what he'll find useful, so I'll ask him to take a look.
The Forest Birds were also there to maintain the equipment today, and they were watching everyone's training and what I had started with great interest.
Line up the aqua golem behind the clay golem and place your hand on the clay golem's head from the front. Taking a deep breath or two, I poured in my magic power from that position.
At the same time, the back of the Aqua Golem's head burst open. Yeah. Considering that it can cause damage to the inside, it's pretty powerful.
"It's not magic... is it? What is it?"
Forest Bird Lucien tilted his head.
"Is it an application of magic manipulation? It might be similar to martial arts. But it hasn't worked very well."
“What do you mean?”
"There is also some damage to the back of the clay golem's head."
he said, pointing his finger. The back of the clay golem's head is deformed. Personally, the clay golem I placed in front of me was completely unharmed. He wanted to do damage only to the Aqua Golem in the rear guard.
"Either way, the front is intact."
"It's a technique that uses the opponent's magical power to propagate the impact."
Alfred was looking at the golem with admiration.
Gardinis used a similar technique from his shakujo. He's trying to improve the precision of his techniques, but that's probably where he should aim first. Regardless of limbs or weapons. From any scene in battle. My first goal is to be able to use this technique as if I was breathing.
He used this technique to damage me on the other side of the shield. If so, something like this would be possible.
Deploy the shield with your left hand. While pressing it against the golem, hit the shield from the inside with your free right hand. The impact spread and cracks ran through the clay golem.
"...I guess that means you can attack through the magic shield. That's interesting."
“Like punching someone wearing armor from the outside and knocking them unconscious.”
Hearing those words, Fitz, who is relatively heavily armed among the forest birds, bows his head.
"Heavy armor and shields are useless... I don't think it's worth wearing armor."
Yeah. It would be a problem for me to have my shield and protection disabled, so I would like to come up with a countermeasure. It's too optimistic to think that Gardinis is the only one who can use it. Actually, I can steal it, and if it's a technique, I can pass it on to others. In this way, you may be able to see some things by using it yourself.
“The countermeasure is to not get attacked?”
“Well, that would be one option.”
As Sheila, who values evasion over defense, that seems to be the conclusion. Personally, I'm thinking of incorporating countervailing techniques using similar techniques into offense and defense.
"It seems difficult to incorporate it into a magic tool. Theo-kun's control ability is what makes it possible."
"It's not a surgical procedure."
"In any case, Theodore-kun has become stronger than before."
When Monica said this with a distant look in her eyes, everyone nodded as if they understood something. I wonder what it is. I wish everyone would stop reacting the same way.
"Speaking of magic tools, how are the Forest Birds doing? Do they seem to be able to use aerial combat equipment?"
"It's useful. When I'm about to be surrounded by monsters, I can attract them as much as I can, run upwards, and have Lucien and Monica shoot magic and arrows at them."
Robin answers. Best of all, it seems to be useful when exploring labyrinths. There are places where I'm asked to act as a monitor because I have enough practical skills to use the tools I've devised.
As I was practicing batting techniques and training everyone while listening to how the magic tools were used, Auria, the guild leader, came over.
"Oh, you're doing it."
"Hello"
He wanted to talk to me for a while during cherry blossom viewing, so we had promised to meet today. She also said that she would show her face to me later... Auria went on her own, and that's how she came to visit her workshop.
“Did the guild suffer any damage in the incident the other day?”
"It seems like they ran out of power before they invaded the guild headquarters and temple. For that, I would like to thank you again."
When I talked about the time I was with the cult the other day, Auria nodded with a serious expression and lowered her head.
"No. That's more important than anything. Please come this way."
Auria passes through to the reception room inside the workshop.
Grace immediately brought tea and baked goods.
"Hmm. It's exquisite."
Auria said while bringing the baked goods to her mouth. The elf's long ears were twitching, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Even during cherry blossom viewing, we exchanged the dishes we brought, but Auria seemed to be particularly fond of Grace's cooking and was full of praise for it. Perhaps she had come for this purpose as well.
"Well. I don't want to get too distracted by other things. Let's talk about Justia and Dominic right away."
Auria seemed to notice my gaze, and said that after clearing her throat. She is not very dignified.
yes. This is the story of Justia and Dominic. Auria had a sad expression on her face as she watched the two having fun playing. She was curious about this and asked about it.
It's good as far as protecting two people. It seems that the fact that he is assisting the healing magician at the guild's headquarters is very helpful.
So what's the problem...? Even if it's meant to protect them, he seems to be concerned about the fact that they don't have much freedom of movement. Since she is an elf herself, she is probably more concerned about such things.
There's also the fact that I know both of them. It seems that Claudia was also concerned about those two, and she... probably also had something to do with the monster village in the labyrinth.
Besides...improving their position will also lead to improving Grace's position. I thought there was something I could do to help, both personally and as an ambassador to another world, so I decided to give him some time to talk.
“The adventurers are generally kind to them, but you see. They are in a position to heal their own wounds.”
The adventurers who know the importance of the treatment team don't do anything stupid that would turn them into enemies.
"You mean adventurers...do you mean there are people like that among the citizens?"
"No. There are people who look down on elves and dwarves, so if they become monsters, then look at that. Monsters like them are the ones that even slave traders pay attention to."
She is also an elf. After all, she may have had her fair share of hardships.
“…I think it would be better to steadily spread understanding. For example, from time to time we might hold public concerts.”
I'll probably need to ask their opinions on the method, but...they always seem to be having fun, singing and playing. It seems that both the Sirens and the Harpies feel something close to purpose in life, even though they sing and perform to listen to music.
"Hmm... That's interesting, but... I think there will be security issues if it becomes public."
“We will create magical tools such as defense fields and wind magic to protect the stage. If necessary, I will prepare the stage equipment from scratch using magical architecture.”
"Magical architecture... again, it's something you say like it's obvious."
Auria smiles bitterly. No, it actually doesn't take that much effort to make. If Seraphina is there, she will follow up on things like the durability and earthquake resistance of buildings.
I think we can get King Melvin's cooperation in terms of his approach to the labyrinth and policy, so we can strengthen our security system.
"The rest...well, it seems like a good idea to invite the children from the orphanage to the concert. It would also be in line with the teachings of the Moon Temple."
"I see. You are also acquainted with Penelope-dono."
"That's what I mean. In any case, first of all, let's confirm their will. If they are satisfied with the current situation or are reluctant to sing or perform in front of a large number of people, then It must have been difficult to get the story started from the beginning.”
"Hmm. I'd like to do as much as possible to meet their wishes."
After saying that, Auria smiled bitterly.
