Shikkakua Mon no Saikyou Kenja~ Sekai Saikyou no Kenja ga Sarani Tsuyoku Naru Tameni Tenseishimashita~ Chapter 312

"The demon at Zadoria hasn't died off then?"

"Yes . It appears 『Eye of Heaven』 did not hit it . "

The demon is undoubtedly still alive .
This was supposed to be a simple fetch quest . . . But it's gotten quite interesting now .

"We may end up having to fight a greater demon . "

"Yes . . . However, I believe all is well . "

Grevil replied back to me without a hint of worry on his face .

"Why do you think so?"

"I can't ever picture Mathias-san losing even if the opponent is a greater demon . . . Ruli-san, Almsan, and Iris-san are with you too . I would like to aid Mathias-san myself, but I am incapable of fighting due to the curse . "

"Eh, us!?"
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
"I feel like we've been barely partic.i.p.ating in battles so far though . . . "

"No way I could win against Mathias-san, okay!?"

The three girls expressed their shock at Grevil's words .
Grevil spoke to them .

"Your individual strength may fall short, but the correct support at the right time can turn the tides of battle . . . This party especially has a nice balance . "

Grevil looks over our party .

Ruli who specializes in a wide array of augment magic and Alma who delivers those magic with her arrows .
And Iris with the strength to brute force through difficult situations .

It's a very nicely balanced party indeed .

"Grevil is right . . . The battle this time will probably quite tricky if we're up against a greater demon . . . I'm counting on you with the support . "

"Understood! I'll do my best!"

"Gotcha!"

"Yes!　 . . . I'll be sure to go on a proper rampage!"

We left Second Academy after exchanging words .
Our destination, Gravy Wood--Zadoria .

◇

" . . . It should come into view soon . "

As the sun was setting .
We arrived at a spot near Zadoria .

"It was so far . . . "

"Been a while since we ran all the way till dark!"

"Yeah . . . We haven't been to the national border for a quite some time . "

Zadoria was located near the border to Raginia Union .
And not in the direction we last went to Raginia, but far more south .

It took practically the whole day even with our legwork .
We could have arrived sooner if I made Iris fly . . . But I'd like to save her power .

" . . . It's a bit hot even though it's nighttime soon . Kinda drive the feel of being in the south . . . "

Alma surveyed the surrounding area as she said that .
Indeed . . . The atmosphere here feels southern-like .

There's a lot of coconut trees around and the people walking down the streets are wearing light clothings .
Many are even wearing aloha s.h.i.+rts .

"Err, should I make some augment magic to lower temperature for us?"

Ruli fetched magic stones as she said that .
But . . . Wearing thick clothings in this town will likely draw attentions .

I'd like to avoid standing out in a town where a greater demon is lurking .
That way it'd be harder for it to sniff us out .

Which means . . .

"No, let's put on the same clothings as the locals . We should investigate stealthily instead of openly challenging the greater demon . . . Can you make that same aloha s.h.i.+rt from before?"

We could also buy some after entering the town, but that'd invite suspicion .
It's better to prepare some beforehand if we want to sneak in secretly .

Since Ruli is also pretty good at sewing, maybe she could make some for us .

"Of course, I can!"
