Chapter 84
Thud-!
Pigi-! thud when I, who have become one member of a 5 person party, took down a High Rabbit all by myself, the other members said things like, N,no way He seriously, all by himself Good grief.
As for why I entered the 4s party, this is the back-and-forth conversation that happened.
Proprietor, why are you turning over here for this?!
With the 4 people watching, the Proprietor came over. And this is what the Proprietor said.
These guys are far too inexperienced. At this rate, if someone doesnt put a stop to this, I believe that sooner or later, they will quickly return to the goddess side, na; different from you, one of the experts, we have no chance to start over, see. Therefore I would like you, who fought together with Zetan-dono, to show your strength and reveal just a part of the ocean theyre trying to traverse.1
I do get what hes trying to say.
Maa, this just might be the soft-heartedness one feels for their own kind. Even if its just this once, wouldnt you be willing to listen to my request? It would be a request from me to be the 4 of thems escort; how about a reward of ten thousand glo?
A request, ne well, fine
I got it theyre already quite down from your words; later on, if I give them that soft-hearted evaluation and they get depressed, is that going to be ok?
To those words, the inns proprietor nodded.
Right, if you fight as usual, that will be more than enough to make them feel depressed, I suppose. If they dont get that sort of experience, they wont be able to live very long from hereon after, ho-ho-ho-ho.
And now we go back to the hunting, or rather the subjugation, from the beginning.
Were being faced with the subjugation duty that the Queen had officially announced.
And as for the all important 4 people, if I make an honest confession, Im already beginning to regret coming out with them.
In regards to the party formation, the tank is Mia, the physical attacker is Roa, the healer is Colin, and the magic attacker is Lility, so its a good, balanced formation, but
How should I say it; I cant think of anything other than that they joined up together while only thinking of that balance.
Mia the tank has the Provoke Skill as her main and isnt attacking much; Im not going to tell her to spam Arts, but even she sees a definite opening on a monster, she wont hit it with a low cost Art and is completely focused on guarding.
Meanwhile, Roa is going in to strike.
Without so much as minding the relative position, so therefore every now and then hell hit Mias shield with his two-handed sowrd; oi oi, are you intending to kill your ally?!
Thanks to that, not only does Mia have to frantically hide behind her shield, the chance to attack is also lost.
For Lility, Roa and Mia like THAT are being a shield in a bad meaning, and it seems she cant get a chance to hit a monster.
Because of THAT, she doesnt shoot enough magic, and when she does shoot it hits Roa or Mia.
On top of that, because its understood that she should be in the back, shes just staying in the back without moving.

It seems she doesnt think about going to find a target herself to shoot at all.
And then, in this horrible inefficiency, or rather, this mess of inability to cooperate, the healer, Colin is forced to take the burden. Hes probably used up all his MP for them to defeat one High Rabbit; hes crouched down and short of breath, breathing heavily; hes not going to be able to use anything other than recovery magic, na.
Seeing the 4 people fight, I can understand.
Aa, just like the inns proprietor said, at this rate theyre going to end up at their goddess side; no, without glossing it over and saying it clearly, at this rate, in the near future, this 4 person party is going to be completely annihilated.
At a glance Roa seems to be especially awful, but theres Mia, whos obsessed with the idea that tanks are to protect and wont attack when she has the chance; she draws the monsters to her and they crowd around at her sides; Lility, who burns the opponents with moderate firepower, doesnt think of using buff magic; and Colin who, although hes a healer, he hasnt used any support magic and is unable to do anything other than heal.
Its a party full of problems, na; its amazing theyve survived until now
In front of the party thats breathing wildly while crouched down and taking a break, right now Ive brought down a number of High Rabbits by myself; and thats why the 4 said those statements at the beginning
Of course Im being vigilant along with using
How many hours are you going to rest; were not within the city walls, you know.
I fire that statement at their really, way too defenseless appearance.
Its not like Ive been made the leader or anything, but theyre just crouching there without any awareness of their surroundings.
If War Goblins saw them like this, in a blink of an eye theyd be wiped out.
J,just a little longer
At Lilitys words, I understand fully how much self-awareness they have and I frown.
Do they not have any interest in living long as wandering fairies?
It would be better for them to retire and find work in the city, but I guess the wont, huh?
Thud-! Went my arrow into a High Rabbit, and an arrow punched through the Thief Bird that came flying down and killed it; this makes 7 now.
Is a bow and arrow really that strong?
Is what Mia asked. Good grief
If youre talking about the ability to cause wounds, Roas two-handed sword and the one-handed sword Mia carries would be stronger, you know. Furthermore, a bow is a lot more difficult to handle than a sword; there isnt anyone who will be able to fight immediately after switching weapons to a bow.
At these words, Mia hung her head. But I cant afford not to say it like this.
If she changes her weapon on a misunderstanding, and with that influence excessively fights and then dies, if I found out it would leave an awful taste in my mouth.
In the end, its not the weapons but we ourselves that are the problem; is that how it is?
To Colins question I say, Or like, the mountain of problems is so high, I cant help but think youre trying to die.
Hearing those words, Colin got teary-eyed.
Exactly where are the problems ?
Roa said that with a half-angry tone;
Think about how many times you hit Mia with an attack. Even if she had a shield, what are you trying to do, attacking your ally? Watch your surroundings and the timing before you attack. Rather than swinging a lot, make a single attack that counts; thats what a two-handed sword is for, right?
When I make that reply, he shuts his mouth.
It cant be helped; for just a little bit, Ill have watch over your troubles, na.
Even if I leave it like this, as long as they dont die, this times escort request will be a success, but like this the inns proprietor probably wont hand over the 10 thousand glo.
It cant be helped, so lets meet the inn proprietors expectations.
Mia! Right there, if you see an opening in the High Rabbits guard, use Slash to strike at the opening! Roa! At that place its going to recoil from Mias Slash, swing your sword down vertically to deal additional damage! Even if you miss, dont hit Mia!
Lility, you can move a little bit from side to side to find a target to shoot, and then shoot through it with Fire Lance!
Colin, keep an eye on the entire field; if it seems dangerous, predict it and then start chanting the aria ahead of time!
Starting with one-the-spot teaching tactics isnt exactly a sane venture, but if I dont do this, these 4 will immediately be in danger of dying.
Fortunately, the other parties who left early have reduced the numbers, so thanks to the monsters being spread out here and there, we have the concentration to spare to do it this way.
Although I am, as always, being vigilant with
And now some time has passed since I started instructing them on how to fight.
Thats right, Mia, dont just provoke them, use your attacks to attract their attention as well! Dont just constantly have your shield up, ready your shield and parry it at the pivotal spot! Roa, steady on! Dont recklessly swing and watch for the timing to attack! Since if you get one hit in, the monster will take heavy damage, na! Lility, do you get it!? While the two vanguards have the monsters attention, you can fire off magic with some decent firepower without getting targeted! Thats right, Colin, its not just recovery, raising the defenses is also your job!
The effects of the couching are already showing, huh; after around 5 High Rabbits were subjugated, their movements have improved.
Mia is also making attacks, Roa has stopped attacking his allies, Lility is no longer just staying in the back and has understood how to move a little and shoot, and Colin has also started to use support buffs.
These results have clearly begun to show; at the beginning, just defeating 1 had the entire group on collapsed on the ground, but now after defeating 5 of them, even though their breathing is a little disordered, theyre not collapsing.
We can fight better than expected
Breathingze ze,Roa spilled that out briskly.
Or like, for not knowing how to fight, its amazing you lived so long, na
At my words, the 4 averted their eyes.
I understand their feelings, but if you continue to suck, you wont be here anymore, you know?
The inn proprietor anticipated this, so that must be why he stuck us with him
At Mias spacy words, You are probably correct, I responded so with all of my heart.
We were really screwed up all over the place, ne
Getting her breathing under control, Lility said that. If they realize it to this extent, they probably wont be rushing to an early death.
Right then; if you understand that much, then lets continue the subjugation. You dont want to receive a spanking from Her Majesty the Queen, right?
At these words the 4 nodded. Finally, they can now make movements that look like theyre doing subjugation work.
