I guess despair is the thing that really makes you think it's impossible.
As the wind blows against your cheek, you are alerted to your surroundings, squinting to keep the dust from entering.
You look at the scene in front of you and think about how to attack it, but you can't think of a way to do it immediately.
Above all, your emotions, not your mind, are the first to think that it is impossible.
I'm not humbled or seriously injured, but my physical strength and the condition of my injuries made me think that there was no way I could break through from here.
I know it's late, but Kirou's dungeon is mainly composed of golems.
The truth is that there are many so-called robot-like monsters.
In fact, if you ask me which dungeon I've been in the most in this company, I'll tell you that the dungeon of the KIOH dungeon where I first went to is the most common.
I don't deny that I feel a sense of duty to start from here, as I have many emotions because it's the first job I started, if not a familiar one.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha, you guys are alive!
Slowly calming your breathing, you check on the safety of the juniors sheltering behind you.
It's tougher to find a safe part.
"Uppu, I've had too many potions, that I feel sick.
I'm sorry, sir. I can't move for a while.
"Win?
I know you're covering for me, and I'm in therapy, but I'm not going to be able to do it for a while.
So, then. I'm the only one who can move right?
But the answers that come back are not all good.
Kaido is wounded everywhere, and as the word suggests, it's more difficult to find his safe parts.
Fortunately, it's not a serious injury, but it's not safe to continue to fight.
You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your new collection.
In order to recover from it, you gulped down too many potions, which made you feel sick.
On the other hand, Kitamiya can't move properly because she's received a huge potion, although her intake of the potion is small.
Masaru covers for Amelia as soon as possible from the golem's attack and is knocked out, while Amelia is relatively lightly injured, but simply put, the party's functioning has almost stopped.
The familiar dungeon has been driven into such a situation.
We've now hit the wall.
That wall has spiritual and literal implications as well.
"Here it comes! Even a little bit! Bend over and take a defensive stance!
A wall that seems to be more than 20 meters high looms a few hundred meters away, stretching to the far end of the left and right.
A wall.
The top of the steel-colored wall, which seems to fit the word, shines slightly, and a magical power that makes your skin feel chilled is approaching.
"Holy shit!
It's a magic cannon fired by magic tools.
Each shot has intermediate or higher magical power, and the magic shells were fired simultaneously at us from hundreds of gunports.
The 70th layer.
Our footsteps, which had been going so well, were now completely stopped by the fort in front of us.
Ignoring your aching body, you breathe and connect with the mineral tree to receive magic power that circulates at high speed and increases its purity, then pour that magic power into the blade of the mineral tree to create a pseudo-giant blade.
"Chaestoso!
It cuts through the rain of that magic cannon with a single horizontal letter.
'Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
But if it was a storm that could be cured by that one sword alone, I wouldn't be in this kind of trouble.
I'm going to show you the iron wall of sword fights against the storm of magic guns to protect your comrades who are stuck behind you from the shells fired in its wake, whipping the body that is beginning to creak after tearing apart many times.
The blade is composed of magic power and has no mass, making it easy to wield.
However, its material strength is vastly inferior to the mineral trees it relies on, and whenever the blade is missing, it must be replaced with magical power.
''What? Jiro! Projector sound! The golem is coming!
"b*tc*!
As an added bonus, it's not just magic cannons flying around.
Amelia picks up the sound of the shots and the sound of the bombs landing, just like in this bombing zone, to show me another threat.
If this magic cannon is the only one, you'll just have to keep going and force your way forward.
You could have asked Kitamiya and Minami to deploy defensive magic to force their way through.
But the enemy wouldn't let us do that either.
Of course there is a plan to fill in the gaps in this bombardment.
"It's a rough job we can do because we're golems.
I cut down some of the giant spheres that flew by, contorting my face, stained and sooty from the dust that had flown all over my body, but there were few that aimed directly at us.
Many of the spheres landed farther away from my range of attack, as if to gain "landing time".
The sphere landed with a cloud of dust on the sandy ground, unique in the normally neat and orderly landscape of the King's dungeon.
For a few seconds in time, as the sphere I had cut off landed on the surrounding area, a slit is created from the sphere, and the beautiful sphere instantly transformed into a humanoid golem.
It's a wild appearance that could never be made by a living thing.
"Kaido, can you protect them in any way, shape or form?
I'll try.
"Amie-chan, bring Kitamiya and Masaru over here and I will set up a ward, that I will set up a ward.
"Are you okay? Minami. You look pale.
"I'm not depleted like Kitamiya, I'm just suffering from potion drunkenness, that I am, so I can use defensive magic, even if it's someone who needs precise manipulation, that I can manage it. More importantly, we need a little strength now, that we do.
Okay, I'll do my best!
"Sorry, Amy.
We were quickly surrounded, forcing more wear and tear on our battered organization.
They manage to organize the available manpower and make it easy for me to move, but it's still not enough.
The golem, which appears in a form that makes you want to say what kind of science fiction movie it is, is slowly narrowing the siege.
There are two types of golems in its modern form: the avant-garde defensive golem with a huge shield in each hand and sidearms that look like giant scissors, and the rear-guard bombardment type with turrets on both shoulders and what looks like a staff in each hand.
It's a little more comfortable if you're stalling while the castle's magic tools recover.
Doesn't sound so convenient.
"Geez, the enemy's strength is limitless, that it is.
I don't think so, but from the South's point of view, it's a bottomless pit.
Although the enemy is right in front of you, your southern gaze is not on your surroundings, but on the city walls.
It's no wonder that additional forces are about to be deployed right now.
You know what a multi-legged tank is, not a tank that moves on an infinite trajectory, but a spider-shaped behemoth that has just jumped over the ramparts and made its way over.
Can you intercept it?
After we finish intercepting them, I'll be crushed, that I'm afraid none of us will survive, that I'm afraid, except the leader. What about the leader, that is?
"I'd like to say that I'm still physically fit, but I honestly don't know. I can only see a future where I'll be cornered like Tsume-shogi, even if I move around and disrupt them individually.
So we have only one thing to do, that we do.
"Oh.
I wonder how long it's been since I stepped foot on this level.
I have a feeling it's been over an hour.
And yet your party is already more than half destroyed and one step away from being destroyed.
If you were to use a fighting game's health gauge, it's in the red zone.
I don't even want to think about how many golems we had to cut down before we were cornered there.
We can expect to have used up this entire level of the citadel, like a boss room.
A full-fledged defensive position, concentrated rather than dispersed.
In the face of its fighting power, you're reminded of the non-standard nature of the brave men who can break through it.
I'll be the Lord. We're retreating.
This time we are in the red again, that we are.
Don't say that, it's better than a near-death experience just because you're coming back to life.
I will take care of Kitamiya, that I will. Amie-chan will take care of Katsu and Kaido-senpai will take care of the retreat, that I will.
"Whoosh! You're in charge!
The only action we could take against the slowly approaching golem army was to retreat.
As expected, if we fought any longer, we'd be wiped out.
No one will oppose my decision to retreat, but the dungeon isn't sweet enough to accept it.
You still have to break through and reach the escape gate.
Use the lightning to break through and then keep going.
You can't say you're tired, you can't say you're tired, you're gathering up the magic power that's in short supply.
Seeing the mineral tree begin to charge, the golems' movements become alarmed, and the siege slows slightly to a crawl.
Do not miss that brief respite.
The moment you compose your magic and wrap it around the tree and unleash an oversized blow, without a signal, we rush out.
Without looking back, we escaped from the citadel's hierarchy, leaving the wreckage of the golems in our wake.
Oh, how many times have we come back from that level, that we have.
"Oh, for the fourth time?
The fifth time, I was pretty confident this time, but I guess I wasn't able to bring out the best in them yet.
When we returned to the party room, the first thing we did was to decompress.
Even if you come back in a battered body, most of your wounds will have healed once you return from your magical body.
All that's left is fatigue and pain.
The only way to heal those two is to do a leisurely slumber like this.
Each of us is drinking from a fixed position, huddled in a cushion or leaning back in a chair, trying to rest our tired bodies.
I, too, am sitting in a chair and leaning against the back of the chair.
"I'm sorry, I passed out in the middle.
"I can't help it! I'm sorry for covering for me. I'm sorry if I'm sorry.
No, no, no, no, no. No one is blaming them. You'll make the most of it next time.
And while we usually take it to a review meeting in a natural way, that's not what happened this time.
Well, we'll talk about it next time. For now, go home early today and get some rest. You don't want to join the Hanami party the day after tomorrow when you're tired. You can do your report after the cherry blossom viewing.
"Oh! That's what the leader knows how to talk, that is!
"Is it okay, senpai!
Well, it's a dead end. You might as well have a change of scenery.
I knew that the lack of progress in the attack was making me a little unmotivated.
So, we've been talking about having that Hanami party, just to freshen up.
You'll be there, right, Suela?
"Yeah, Suela told me there's a place in the facility where they have cherry blossoms. I heard that you can go there to see the cherry blossoms without being seen. And I'm told you can reserve a place in advance. I even called the instructors.
"There are cherry blossoms in other worlds, that there are.
No, it seems that the person who manages the facility likes plants from this world, and the cherry blossoms are part of it.
Oh, really. But it makes me happy. You go to another world and the cherry blossoms are still recognized as beautiful.
When the group got together to do something special, I thought it would be Kitamiya who would take the lead, but this time, Minami took the lead and the conversation progressed quickly and smoothly.
The two often clash, but as long as they don't have any reservations, they work well together as long as their directions match.
"Mamie said she's going to make lunch for me too! It's okay if you have a lot coming!
"Yes, I'll do my best on the day, too.
I heard Himiku will be cooking too, so don't be too hard on yourself. Kaido and I will carry the drinks Memoria has prepared for us that day to the venue. There's going to be a lot of drinking coming, so it's going to be a lot of drinks.
You know, if Instructor Kio comes, then yes, oh, come to think of it, your daughter is coming too, right? You've met your seniors, right? What kind of child is that?
"......... Let's just say that the frog boy is a frog.
What's that unsettling thing you say, eh? What's that? Do you feel like Instructor Kio just got smaller?
"Well, I can't say much more than that.
"What? That's not true senpai!
I've been very busy lately, so it's good to have a break in a time like this when I can relax.
I know we're going to be going through a lot in the future.
You will be able to get a good idea of what you want to do, and you'll be able to get a good idea of what you want to do.
I'm going to be able to get the contents of the bento for the day.
Amelia and Kitamiya are discussing what to wear on Hanami day.
The atmosphere here is peaceful, despite the fact that it was such a fierce battle earlier.
I hope this day will last forever.
"Hmm? What did you say, senior?
No, I just thought I'd enjoy seeing the cherry blossoms the day after tomorrow.
I'd love to see something like this again next year if I could.
Word of the Day
Spring is somehow the image of the beginning.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

I'm the only one who can move right?But the answers that come back are not all good.Kaido is wounded everywhere, and as the word suggests, it's more difficult to find his safe parts.Fortunately, it's not a serious injury, but it's not safe to continue to fight.You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your new collection.In order to recover from it, you gulped down too many potions, which made you feel sick.On the other hand, Kitamiya can't move properly because she's received a huge potion, although her intake of the potion is small.Masaru covers for Amelia as soon as possible from the golem's attack and is knocked out, while Amelia is relatively lightly injured, but simply put, the party's functioning has almost stopped.The familiar dungeon has been driven into such a situation.We've now hit the wall.That wall has spiritual and literal implications as well."Here it comes!Even a little bit!Bend over and take a defensive stance!A wall that seems to be more than 20 meters high looms a few hundred meters away, stretching to the far end of the left and right.A wall.The top of the steel-colored wall, which seems to fit the word, shines slightly, and a magical power that makes your skin feel chilled is approaching."Holy shit!It's a magic cannon fired by magic tools.Each shot has intermediate or higher magical power, and the magic shells were fired simultaneously at us from hundreds of gunports.The 70th layer.Our footsteps, which had been going so well, were now completely stopped by the fort in front of us.Ignoring your aching body, you breathe and connect with the mineral tree to receive magic power that circulates at high speed and increases its purity, then pour that magic power into the blade of the mineral tree to create a pseudo-giant blade."Chaestoso!It cuts through the rain of that magic cannon with a single horizontal letter.'Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!But if it was a storm that could be cured by that one sword alone, I wouldn't be in this kind of trouble.I'm going to show you the iron wall of sword fights against the storm of magic guns to protect your comrades who are stuck behind you from the shells fired in its wake, whipping the body that is beginning to creak after tearing apart many times.The blade is composed of magic power and has no mass, making it easy to wield.However, its material strength is vastly inferior to the mineral trees it relies on, and whenever the blade is missing, it must be replaced with magical power.''What?Jiro!Projector sound!The golem is coming!"b*tc*!As an added bonus, it's not just magic cannons flying around.Amelia picks up the sound of the shots and the sound of the bombs landing, just like in this bombing zone, to show me another threat.If this magic cannon is the only one, you'll just have to keep going and force your way forward.You could have asked Kitamiya and Minami to deploy defensive magic to force their way through.But the enemy wouldn't let us do that either.Of course there is a plan to fill in the gaps in this bombardment."It's a rough job we can do because we're golems.I cut down some of the giant spheres that flew by, contorting my face, stained and sooty from the dust that had flown all over my body, but there were few that aimed directly at us.Many of the spheres landed farther away from my range of attack, as if to gain "landing time".The sphere landed with a cloud of dust on the sandy ground, unique in the normally neat and orderly landscape of the King's dungeon.For a few seconds in time, as the sphere I had cut off landed on the surrounding area, a slit is created from the sphere, and the beautiful sphere instantly transformed into a humanoid golem.It's a wild appearance that could never be made by a living thing."Kaido, can you protect them in any way, shape or form?I'll try."Amie-chan, bring Kitamiya and Masaru over here and I will set up a ward, that I will set up a ward."Are you okay?Minami. You look pale."I'm not depleted like Kitamiya, I'm just suffering from potion drunkenness, that I am, so I can use defensive magic, even if it's someone who needs precise manipulation, that I can manage it. More importantly, we need a little strength now, that we do.Okay, I'll do my best!"Sorry, Amy.We were quickly surrounded, forcing more wear and tear on our battered organization.They manage to organize the available manpower and make it easy for me to move, but it's still not enough.The golem, which appears in a form that makes you want to say what kind of science fiction movie it is, is slowly narrowing the siege.There are two types of golems in its modern form: the avant-garde defensive golem with a huge shield in each hand and sidearms that look like giant scissors, and the rear-guard bombardment type with turrets on both shoulders and what looks like a staff in each hand.It's a little more comfortable if you're stalling while the castle's magic tools recover.Doesn't sound so convenient."Geez, the enemy's strength is limitless, that it is.I don't think so, but from the South's point of view, it's a bottomless pit.Although the enemy is right in front of you, your southern gaze is not on your surroundings, but on the city walls.It's no wonder that additional forces are about to be deployed right now.You know what a multi-legged tank is, not a tank that moves on an infinite trajectory, but a spider-shaped behemoth that has just jumped over the ramparts and made its way over.Can you intercept it?After we finish intercepting them, I'll be crushed, that I'm afraid none of us will survive, that I'm afraid, except the leader. What about the leader, that is?"I'd like to say that I'm still physically fit, but I honestly don't know. I can only see a future where I'll be cornered like Tsume-shogi, even if I move around and disrupt them individually.So we have only one thing to do, that we do."Oh.I wonder how long it's been since I stepped foot on this level.I have a feeling it's been over an hour.And yet your party is already more than half destroyed and one step away from being destroyed.If you were to use a fighting game's health gauge, it's in the red zone.I don't even want to think about how many golems we had to cut down before we were cornered there.We can expect to have used up this entire level of the citadel, like a boss room.A full-fledged defensive position, concentrated rather than dispersed.In the face of its fighting power, you're reminded of the non-standard nature of the brave men who can break through it.I'll be the Lord. We're retreating.This time we are in the red again, that we are.Don't say that, it's better than a near-death experience just because you're coming back to life.I will take care of Kitamiya, that I will. Amie-chan will take care of Katsu and Kaido-senpai will take care of the retreat, that I will."Whoosh! You're in charge!The only action we could take against the slowly approaching golem army was to retreat.As expected, if we fought any longer, we'd be wiped out.No one will oppose my decision to retreat, but the dungeon isn't sweet enough to accept it.You still have to break through and reach the escape gate.Use the lightning to break through and then keep going.You can't say you're tired, you can't say you're tired, you're gathering up the magic power that's in short supply.Seeing the mineral tree begin to charge, the golems' movements become alarmed, and the siege slows slightly to a crawl.Do not miss that brief respite.The moment you compose your magic and wrap it around the tree and unleash an oversized blow, without a signal, we rush out.Without looking back, we escaped from the citadel's hierarchy, leaving the wreckage of the golems in our wake.Oh, how many times have we come back from that level, that we have."Oh, for the fourth time?The fifth time, I was pretty confident this time, but I guess I wasn't able to bring out the best in them yet.When we returned to the party room, the first thing we did was to decompress.Even if you come back in a battered body, most of your wounds will have healed once you return from your magical body.All that's left is fatigue and pain.The only way to heal those two is to do a leisurely slumber like this.Each of us is drinking from a fixed position, huddled in a cushion or leaning back in a chair, trying to rest our tired bodies.I, too, am sitting in a chair and leaning against the back of the chair."I'm sorry, I passed out in the middle."I can't help it!I'm sorry for covering for me. I'm sorry if I'm sorry.No, no, no, no, no. No one is blaming them. You'll make the most of it next time.And while we usually take it to a review meeting in a natural way, that's not what happened this time.Well, we'll talk about it next time. For now, go home early today and get some rest. You don't want to join the Hanami party the day after tomorrow when you're tired. You can do your report after the cherry blossom viewing."Oh!That's what the leader knows how to talk, that is!"Is it okay, senpai!Well, it's a dead end. You might as well have a change of scenery.I knew that the lack of progress in the attack was making me a little unmotivated.So, we've been talking about having that Hanami party, just to freshen up.You'll be there, right, Suela?"Yeah, Suela told me there's a place in the facility where they have cherry blossoms. I heard that you can go there to see the cherry blossoms without being seen. And I'm told you can reserve a place in advance. I even called the instructors."There are cherry blossoms in other worlds, that there are.No, it seems that the person who manages the facility likes plants from this world, and the cherry blossoms are part of it.Oh, really. But it makes me happy. You go to another world and the cherry blossoms are still recognized as beautiful.When the group got together to do something special, I thought it would be Kitamiya who would take the lead, but this time, Minami took the lead and the conversation progressed quickly and smoothly.The two often clash, but as long as they don't have any reservations, they work well together as long as their directions match."Mamie said she's going to make lunch for me too!It's okay if you have a lot coming!"Yes, I'll do my best on the day, too.I heard Himiku will be cooking too, so don't be too hard on yourself. Kaido and I will carry the drinks Memoria has prepared for us that day to the venue. There's going to be a lot of drinking coming, so it's going to be a lot of drinks.You know, if Instructor Kio comes, then yes, oh, come to think of it, your daughter is coming too, right?You've met your seniors, right?What kind of child is that?"......... Let's just say that the frog boy is a frog.What's that unsettling thing you say, eh?What's that?Do you feel like Instructor Kio just got smaller?"Well, I can't say much more than that."What?That's not true senpai!I've been very busy lately, so it's good to have a break in a time like this when I can relax.I know we're going to be going through a lot in the future.You will be able to get a good idea of what you want to do, and you'll be able to get a good idea of what you want to do.I'm going to be able to get the contents of the bento for the day.Amelia and Kitamiya are discussing what to wear on Hanami day.The atmosphere here is peaceful, despite the fact that it was such a fierce battle earlier.I hope this day will last forever."Hmm?What did you say, senior?No, I just thought I'd enjoy seeing the cherry blossoms the day after tomorrow.I'd love to see something like this again next year if I could.Word of the DaySpring is somehow the image of the beginning.
