What do you do?
"What should we do?
A few hours after our escape from the monster, we got away safely and were moving with the plan to camp by the river, near sunset.
Since night is not even a word in Isual, where the sun never sets, this cloudy sky is starting to hide the sun, and this cloudy sky seems to take the place of night.
To be honest, it's just a strange feeling.
But I didn't have time to get used to that feeling of discomfort, and once again, Memoria and I were in trouble.
"You're under attack.
"You've been attacked.
By the way, do you know that guy by chance?
"This is our first meeting.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get away from the monster, because Memoria knew exactly where she was while she was running away from the monster.
So this escape drama was worth the effort, and it could be said that the effort was positive.
I was a little tired, but I made more than the target distance, and I thought I would be able to rest today with time to spare.
Just then, events led to the present.
Somebody's coming," said Memoria, and we took shelter on the big tree to avoid unnecessary trouble.
I hid my breath to let it pass, but I could sense that they were getting closer and closer, and I waited a few minutes.
This time, a group of five regular humans, not like the monsters, will appear and try to pass by your feet.
Just when you thought you were almost ready to rest, you were interrupted, and you wanted them to leave quickly with a grudge.
Maybe it was a mistake, or maybe it's called a flag, but they couldn't get past it.
Because they were attacked by Forest Bear, who appeared with a roar.
Since you came here, you've been promised one trouble after another, and it will happen in the future as well, won't it? I was almost sick to my stomach as I looked from Memoria, who was sitting next to me, to my feet again.
"Didn't you scatter it?
"No, it's smaller than the last hint, so it's a different individual, and that's Forest Bear, a Hexenbiest that doesn't move while the sun is up, so it must have just happened.
"I didn't notice it because the signs were asleep and faint: ......
All I can say is, the timing is wrong. It seems that the knights are the ones who raided the territory of the bad-tempered Forest Bear in his sleep, considering the direction that the hexenbiest came from.
Knights.
The memorabilia is based on the equipment worn by the people underneath them in their professions.
Well, they're well equipped.
From my point of view, full-body metal armor fits the image of the knights we often hear about in novels.
One of them is lightly armed, but not the other?
It was five days from here to the city, wasn't it?
"Roughly, that's if you travel normally, so there are many ways to shorten it.
"So it's possible to come here in a day, you're here to investigate in response to our magic?
It's possible, but unlikely. The cover-up function was also at work. Unless there's a saint or a class of heroes in the vicinity, it's reasonable to assume it's unlikely.
"What are the chances that the brave men will struggle with that hexenbiest?
It's a bit of an early battle.
So the chances of him coming to investigate us are extremely low.
It's a relief for now, but the question still remains why the knight came to this place and what he or she belongs to.
At times like this, I would like to gather information: ......
The knights are battling a giant-armed forest bear with deep green fur at our feet.
Although we are outnumbered five to one, the knights are getting outnumbered as time goes by.
The only way to gather information, other than by observation, is to come in to help and fight with them. ......
"Then all we have to do is wait for the storm to pass, and the only thing we can do is ignore it.
"Yes, there is a risk, but not a benefit to contacting a knight in our position.
The choice is to remain silent and wait in the trees.
Memoria is right, it's not the kind of information you're willing to risk to get.
You'll win if you fight, but then it's a hassle.
If you keep promising trouble this much, you're going to get into human trouble next time.
Miko-sama run!
"Priestess?
"You mean that backwards wizard? And then that equipment and coat of arms ......
It smells like a big shot, but it smells like trouble.
I didn't catch the last part, but if you look at where the memoria points, there's only one person wearing a white robe.
From the way he behaved, he could be a healer and wizard.
But no matter how you look at it, there just isn't enough firepower against Forest Bear, and finally a knight has been killed.
It was a wake-up call, and the flow of the battle was completely carried by Forest Bear.
The knight that was killed is not dead, but it will take some time for him to return to the front.
It's just a matter of time before he's back in the line of fire.
It would be bad luck to leave them to die, but I'm even less inclined to stick my neck out and get into trouble.
I'll keep my head down and let it pass, and I'm comfortable with that choice.
"? ......! Grab the memory!
But it seems that the captain-like knight's cry was a bad move.
Forest Bear's movements have changed slightly, and he pounces on the so-called miko who was trying to move backwards from her knight.
For the beast, it's probably a move to keep its prey from escaping.
And it's not wrong for a human being to try to avoid a giant arm that is clothed in magic and blatantly proclaims that it's a killing move.
Even I do that, I understand.
If it weren't for the giant tree we're using as a foothold in the direction of our path, I would understand.
Really?
"Like a real
"You're so cool!
It seems that Forest Bear is more powerful than we thought, and his swinging arm successfully gouged the big tree.
As a result
"What a guy!
I'm a refugee!
We were forced to fall according to gravity.
Despite our efforts to hide, we were forced into battle.
Holding the memoria, I reached out to jump to another tree, but I couldn't reach it, and I fell to the ground.
Fortunately, I didn't have a problem landing, but I didn't want to land between Forest Bear and the knight.
In addition, the captain-like knight was alarmed by the sudden appearance of the knight from above, which means you can't escape the event, right?
For now, hide the memoria behind your back and pull out the mineral tree to prepare for both forest bears and knights.
You're an adventurer!
Didn't you say refugees?
Well, when you're in a place like this and you're dressed like Jiro, you can't help but be mistaken for someone else.
I called myself a refugee, meaning I was running away in a tree, but the other side didn't seem to hear me.
You're still dressed like you're challenging the dungeon, so you're certainly right.
It's a good thing that your ears will be at least closed for the day, as my attempt to avoid the battle in response to a woman's voice coming from inside the hood of my robe, it's literally come down to the knights who want a little strength in a desperate situation.
You can feel the vibe that there is no way not to get involved.
I'm Eshley Ria Mikard, touring priestess of the priesthood state of Trice, please join forces with me and we will get through this together.
And to belong to a religious state in a major country.
It's the last thing I would want to see if I could.
There was a one-in-three chance, but after this incident, I think it would be best to stay away from gambling for a while.
What to do about ......
"It's no use if it comes to this. I'll get this out of the way, but for now, eliminate the danger. The other side can't seem to wait.
Looks like.
We'll deal with the people we can talk to later for now.
Now let's make sure to target our target and deal with the uncommunicative people who are likely to attack us.
Don't show your skills, if you can help it.
"Aiyo.
According to the order of the memoria, you can organize a battle without using cries of war and slashing.
In terms of strength, your opponent is about as strong as a three-layered hierarch, if you're not careful.
"No problem.
"It's reckless to be frontal!
I ignore it while listening to the opposite conclusion of my judgment and run to Forest Bear.
We don't want to spend as much time as possible.
I don't think we can work together from the start.
Then it's better to skip the extra work and do the prerequisites solo from the start.
The current battle area has a force distribution of one to two to five.
We're probably the second largest force in terms of numbers and the top in terms of combat.
You're in a rush, and within ten paces, you look behind you for a moment, but the five forces seem distraught.
It's not likely that they are hiding their abilities, but based on the battle of Forest Bear, it's also possible that they are acting.
It's best not to let your guard down.
I shifted my gaze for a moment, and when I returned to the direction I was facing, Forest Bear, who seemed to be warming up, was gathering strength in his legs to bite me with all his might.
I'm just two steps away from my mineral tree, before Forest Bear's attack comes.
I swing my mineral tree in time with it.
With a sound like metal clashing, the general power relationship is also conveyed to me.
I'm slightly stronger in power.
But the claws are hard and sharp, perhaps strengthened by magic, and the number of hands is inferior to the two-armed attack that uses it with just one tree.
However, it is not defeated.
You'll be able to see that the two of you have been in a stalemate for several minutes, but there's no way you're going to be defeated by this brute force attack, so when we started to push, Forest Bear got out of range.
It's time to start over, isn't it?
The way you're staring at me, stomping the dirt, shows no signs of giving up.
It didn't take long before it came at me even faster than before.
Gah!
It's a very beastly scream, and the next thing it does is scare you with a running, inertial right foreleg, and finally its fangs, which it uses to catch its prey.
For a beast.
In contrast, I'm not intimidated by the yell, but on the contrary, I feint and make it look like I'm going to run, completely stopping the movement by stamping my left foot in front of the place where Forest Bear's arm will be swung down, in order to break my opponent's rhythm.
That alone neutralizes the two moves of the three-step strategy, resulting in one move and minimal effort on my part.
"Oh, you blindfolded me with sand, smart!
I was going to attack it, but it instinctively sensed my move, or perhaps it switched from swinging down to shaking off the forest bear in an attempt to break its start.
The sand is rolled up along with the fallen leaves, and if I continue like this, the sand will be in my eyes.
If the sand is blown out of sight, our ability to fight will be reduced as well.
This process up to this point is done by instinct, so the forest bear will be a difficult opponent.
Well, that's what happens when you rely on your eyes alone.
But we were raised by an instructor who removed the word "forgiveness" from our minds.
Trying to silence one of the five senses
"I know the pause in your air flow,
The other senses can provide ample support.
Your ears catch the sound of footsteps and let you know when they're coming, and your skin tells you which way to go with the feel of sand and the pressure that pushes out of it.
Your nose conveys an animalistic smell that gets thicker and thicker and tells you the distance.
I swing the mineral tree on my shoulder just in time to feel Forest Bear fly by my side as a pawn slashes off my opponent's left arm.
I dropped the first one.
Open your eyes to get out from under the influence of sanding, and then turn around and give chase to the sound of a huge body sliding to the ground from behind.
It's going to happen.
If possible, I would have liked to crawl to the ground with this blow, but that's the beast.
Your instincts tell you that you will die if you writhe in pain.
Without looking at the severed arm, he rages and gathers his magic power in his remaining right arm and attacks me.
I'm off balance, but a blow will do me damage too.
It would take several shots to be fatal, but there's no need to take unwanted damage.
I sliced off my right arm with the mineral tree, but contrary to my expectations, the mineral tree didn't bite, and each furry hair became hard as a needle and slid over it.
Oh~
It's not the time to be impressed that you've been hiding it, but you can't help but react to its ability.
But apart from the mouth, your body moves in parallel, using the force of flowing sideways to turn Forest Bear's nose to unleash a kick that frightens him.
It doesn't do much damage, but it gives me at least time to adjust my stance.
If you can't cut, you can thrust.
Run around the opponent in a clockwise direction as you land.
If you can't crush its arms, you can attack its undercarriage.
Unable to walk on four legs, Forest Bear dexterously stands up and dexterously moves his legs to catch me in front of him.
The difference in height and size is obvious, and attacking from above is certainly a threat, but that's only if you're supported.
It's no good if you're off your feet.
Whether he understands that or whether it's instinct, the fur on his feet is as hard as a needle, just like before.
But there's no lack of space.
With a click, you increase your running speed by a gear.
From the outside, it would have looked like I turned a right angle and stepped sharply into a low posture less than a meter off the ground and stuck a mineral tree under my knee joint.
To my mind, it might have been similar to the sensation of sticking out a billiard cue.
I put my left hand on Mineki's hand and pushed my right hand against the rail.
The body, enhanced by the magical crests, will accurately replicate the movement.
"Oops! Left foot takedown!
As a result, he tried to cut off his knees from the bottom of his body with a thrust that I don't know if you can call it a thrust, a thrust that is close to a slash.
It's over, don't feel bad.
After losing half a limb on the left side of the bear's head, he jumped up and sliced off its proud arm from the top step.
It's done!
Thanks for your help. Are you hurt?
It's a bit of sand. Have you got your story?
But before that, let's move on, because if we don't, another hexenbiest is going to come along.
"What about this?
Even the fact that the result helped in an unscathed victory must be an interception.
So we'll make sure of that.
Our goal is different. And this is their prey, so let's just step aside.
Copy that.
Except for the purpose, you know.
I'm not lying.
We're here to go to town, not to slay a hexenbiest.
Then why did Memoria choose her words as if she wanted to be on this mountain?
I glanced at the five of you who have been out of the loop.
I guess it makes sense.
At this rate, we'll be talking about why we're deep in the mountains.
From our point of view, that's what they're talking about too, but we'll make it look like we're not here for the monster, but something else in advance.
Negotiation is Memoria's domain, so I'll be careful not to say anything unnecessary.
And so what can I do for you? Since we haven't reached our objective and our partnership is over, how about we part ways now?
We would like to, but may I ask what your objectives are? I'm sure he's a great swordsman, capable of defeating Forest Bear alone. Who are you to hire such a man?
It's time to identify yourself.
You said your name before the battle, but this one did not.
Leaving without saying who you are seems suspicious to me.
Since you said earlier that you have business here, not saying so without a sinister plot would be a sure sign of suspicion.
So, what happens now?

Even the fact that the result helped in an unscathed victory must be an interception.
So we'll make sure of that.
Our goal is different. And this is their prey, so let's just step aside.
Copy that.
Except for the purpose, you know.
I'm not lying.
We're here to go to town, not to slay a hexenbiest.
Then why did Memoria choose her words as if she wanted to be on this mountain?
I glanced at the five of you who have been out of the loop.
I guess it makes sense.
At this rate, we'll be talking about why we're deep in the mountains.
From our point of view, that's what they're talking about too, but we'll make it look like we're not here for the monster, but something else in advance.
Negotiation is Memoria's domain, so I'll be careful not to say anything unnecessary.
And so what can I do for you? Since we haven't reached our objective and our partnership is over, how about we part ways now?
We would like to, but may I ask what your objectives are? I'm sure he's a great swordsman, capable of defeating Forest Bear alone. Who are you to hire such a man?
It's time to identify yourself.
You said your name before the battle, but this one did not.
Leaving without saying who you are seems suspicious to me.
Since you said earlier that you have business here, not saying so without a sinister plot would be a sure sign of suspicion.
So, what happens now?

Tanaka Jiro, 28 years old, with a girlfriendHer Suela HendelbergMemory TrisOccupation Dungeon Tester full-timeMagical aptitude 8 general classPost WarriorsWhat do you do?"What should we do?A few hours after our escape from the monster, we got away safely and were moving with the plan to camp by the river, near sunset.Since night is not even a word in Isual, where the sun never sets, this cloudy sky is starting to hide the sun, and this cloudy sky seems to take the place of night.To be honest, it's just a strange feeling.But I didn't have time to get used to that feeling of discomfort, and once again, Memoria and I were in trouble."You're under attack."You've been attacked.By the way, do you know that guy by chance?"This is our first meeting.I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get away from the monster, because Memoria knew exactly where she was while she was running away from the monster.So this escape drama was worth the effort, and it could be said that the effort was positive.I was a little tired, but I made more than the target distance, and I thought I would be able to rest today with time to spare.Just then, events led to the present.Somebody's coming," said Memoria, and we took shelter on the big tree to avoid unnecessary trouble.I hid my breath to let it pass, but I could sense that they were getting closer and closer, and I waited a few minutes.This time, a group of five regular humans, not like the monsters, will appear and try to pass by your feet.Just when you thought you were almost ready to rest, you were interrupted, and you wanted them to leave quickly with a grudge.Maybe it was a mistake, or maybe it's called a flag, but they couldn't get past it.Because they were attacked by Forest Bear, who appeared with a roar.Since you came here, you've been promised one trouble after another, and it will happen in the future as well, won't it? I was almost sick to my stomach as I looked from Memoria, who was sitting next to me, to my feet again."Didn't you scatter it?"No, it's smaller than the last hint, so it's a different individual, and that's Forest Bear, a Hexenbiest that doesn't move while the sun is up, so it must have just happened."I didn't notice it because the signs were asleep and faint: ......All I can say is, the timing is wrong. It seems that the knights are the ones who raided the territory of the bad-tempered Forest Bear in his sleep, considering the direction that the hexenbiest came from.Knights.The memorabilia is based on the equipment worn by the people underneath them in their professions.Well, they're well equipped.From my point of view, full-body metal armor fits the image of the knights we often hear about in novels.One of them is lightly armed, but not the other?It was five days from here to the city, wasn't it?"Roughly, that's if you travel normally, so there are many ways to shorten it."So it's possible to come here in a day, you're here to investigate in response to our magic?It's possible, but unlikely. The cover-up function was also at work. Unless there's a saint or a class of heroes in the vicinity, it's reasonable to assume it's unlikely."What are the chances that the brave men will struggle with that hexenbiest?It's a bit of an early battle.So the chances of him coming to investigate us are extremely low.It's a relief for now, but the question still remains why the knight came to this place and what he or she belongs to.At times like this, I would like to gather information: ......The knights are battling a giant-armed forest bear with deep green fur at our feet.Although we are outnumbered five to one, the knights are getting outnumbered as time goes by.The only way to gather information, other than by observation, is to come in to help and fight with them. ......"Then all we have to do is wait for the storm to pass, and the only thing we can do is ignore it."Yes, there is a risk, but not a benefit to contacting a knight in our position.The choice is to remain silent and wait in the trees.Memoria is right, it's not the kind of information you're willing to risk to get.You'll win if you fight, but then it's a hassle.If you keep promising trouble this much, you're going to get into human trouble next time.Miko-sama run!"Priestess?"You mean that backwards wizard?And then that equipment and coat of arms ......It smells like a big shot, but it smells like trouble.I didn't catch the last part, but if you look at where the memoria points, there's only one person wearing a white robe.From the way he behaved, he could be a healer and wizard.But no matter how you look at it, there just isn't enough firepower against Forest Bear, and finally a knight has been killed.It was a wake-up call, and the flow of the battle was completely carried by Forest Bear.The knight that was killed is not dead, but it will take some time for him to return to the front.It's just a matter of time before he's back in the line of fire.It would be bad luck to leave them to die, but I'm even less inclined to stick my neck out and get into trouble.I'll keep my head down and let it pass, and I'm comfortable with that choice."?......!Grab the memory!But it seems that the captain-like knight's cry was a bad move.Forest Bear's movements have changed slightly, and he pounces on the so-called miko who was trying to move backwards from her knight.For the beast, it's probably a move to keep its prey from escaping.And it's not wrong for a human being to try to avoid a giant arm that is clothed in magic and blatantly proclaims that it's a killing move.Even I do that, I understand.If it weren't for the giant tree we're using as a foothold in the direction of our path, I would understand.Really?"Like a real"You're so cool!It seems that Forest Bear is more powerful than we thought, and his swinging arm successfully gouged the big tree.As a result"What a guy!I'm a refugee!We were forced to fall according to gravity.Despite our efforts to hide, we were forced into battle.Holding the memoria, I reached out to jump to another tree, but I couldn't reach it, and I fell to the ground.Fortunately, I didn't have a problem landing, but I didn't want to land between Forest Bear and the knight.In addition, the captain-like knight was alarmed by the sudden appearance of the knight from above, which means you can't escape the event, right?For now, hide the memoria behind your back and pull out the mineral tree to prepare for both forest bears and knights.You're an adventurer!Didn't you say refugees?Well, when you're in a place like this and you're dressed like Jiro, you can't help but be mistaken for someone else.I called myself a refugee, meaning I was running away in a tree, but the other side didn't seem to hear me.You're still dressed like you're challenging the dungeon, so you're certainly right.It's a good thing that your ears will be at least closed for the day, as my attempt to avoid the battle in response to a woman's voice coming from inside the hood of my robe, it's literally come down to the knights who want a little strength in a desperate situation.You can feel the vibe that there is no way not to get involved.I'm Eshley Ria Mikard, touring priestess of the priesthood state of Trice, please join forces with me and we will get through this together.And to belong to a religious state in a major country.It's the last thing I would want to see if I could.There was a one-in-three chance, but after this incident, I think it would be best to stay away from gambling for a while.What to do about ......"It's no use if it comes to this. I'll get this out of the way, but for now, eliminate the danger. The other side can't seem to wait.Looks like.We'll deal with the people we can talk to later for now.Now let's make sure to target our target and deal with the uncommunicative people who are likely to attack us.Don't show your skills, if you can help it."Aiyo.According to the order of the memoria, you can organize a battle without using cries of war and slashing.In terms of strength, your opponent is about as strong as a three-layered hierarch, if you're not careful."No problem."It's reckless to be frontal!I ignore it while listening to the opposite conclusion of my judgment and run to Forest Bear.We don't want to spend as much time as possible.I don't think we can work together from the start.Then it's better to skip the extra work and do the prerequisites solo from the start.The current battle area has a force distribution of one to two to five.We're probably the second largest force in terms of numbers and the top in terms of combat.You're in a rush, and within ten paces, you look behind you for a moment, but the five forces seem distraught.It's not likely that they are hiding their abilities, but based on the battle of Forest Bear, it's also possible that they are acting.It's best not to let your guard down.I shifted my gaze for a moment, and when I returned to the direction I was facing, Forest Bear, who seemed to be warming up, was gathering strength in his legs to bite me with all his might.I'm just two steps away from my mineral tree, before Forest Bear's attack comes.I swing my mineral tree in time with it.With a sound like metal clashing, the general power relationship is also conveyed to me.I'm slightly stronger in power.But the claws are hard and sharp, perhaps strengthened by magic, and the number of hands is inferior to the two-armed attack that uses it with just one tree.However, it is not defeated.You'll be able to see that the two of you have been in a stalemate for several minutes, but there's no way you're going to be defeated by this brute force attack, so when we started to push, Forest Bear got out of range.It's time to start over, isn't it?The way you're staring at me, stomping the dirt, shows no signs of giving up.It didn't take long before it came at me even faster than before.Gah!It's a very beastly scream, and the next thing it does is scare you with a running, inertial right foreleg, and finally its fangs, which it uses to catch its prey.For a beast.In contrast, I'm not intimidated by the yell, but on the contrary, I feint and make it look like I'm going to run, completely stopping the movement by stamping my left foot in front of the place where Forest Bear's arm will be swung down, in order to break my opponent's rhythm.That alone neutralizes the two moves of the three-step strategy, resulting in one move and minimal effort on my part."Oh, you blindfolded me with sand, smart!I was going to attack it, but it instinctively sensed my move, or perhaps it switched from swinging down to shaking off the forest bear in an attempt to break its start.The sand is rolled up along with the fallen leaves, and if I continue like this, the sand will be in my eyes.If the sand is blown out of sight, our ability to fight will be reduced as well.This process up to this point is done by instinct, so the forest bear will be a difficult opponent.Well, that's what happens when you rely on your eyes alone.But we were raised by an instructor who removed the word "forgiveness" from our minds.Trying to silence one of the five senses"I know the pause in your air flow,The other senses can provide ample support.Your ears catch the sound of footsteps and let you know when they're coming, and your skin tells you which way to go with the feel of sand and the pressure that pushes out of it.Your nose conveys an animalistic smell that gets thicker and thicker and tells you the distance.I swing the mineral tree on my shoulder just in time to feel Forest Bear fly by my side as a pawn slashes off my opponent's left arm.I dropped the first one.Open your eyes to get out from under the influence of sanding, and then turn around and give chase to the sound of a huge body sliding to the ground from behind.It's going to happen.If possible, I would have liked to crawl to the ground with this blow, but that's the beast.Your instincts tell you that you will die if you writhe in pain.Without looking at the severed arm, he rages and gathers his magic power in his remaining right arm and attacks me.I'm off balance, but a blow will do me damage too.It would take several shots to be fatal, but there's no need to take unwanted damage.I sliced off my right arm with the mineral tree, but contrary to my expectations, the mineral tree didn't bite, and each furry hair became hard as a needle and slid over it.Oh~It's not the time to be impressed that you've been hiding it, but you can't help but react to its ability.But apart from the mouth, your body moves in parallel, using the force of flowing sideways to turn Forest Bear's nose to unleash a kick that frightens him.It doesn't do much damage, but it gives me at least time to adjust my stance.If you can't cut, you can thrust.Run around the opponent in a clockwise direction as you land.If you can't crush its arms, you can attack its undercarriage.Unable to walk on four legs, Forest Bear dexterously stands up and dexterously moves his legs to catch me in front of him.The difference in height and size is obvious, and attacking from above is certainly a threat, but that's only if you're supported.It's no good if you're off your feet.Whether he understands that or whether it's instinct, the fur on his feet is as hard as a needle, just like before.But there's no lack of space.With a click, you increase your running speed by a gear.From the outside, it would have looked like I turned a right angle and stepped sharply into a low posture less than a meter off the ground and stuck a mineral tree under my knee joint.To my mind, it might have been similar to the sensation of sticking out a billiard cue.I put my left hand on Mineki's hand and pushed my right hand against the rail.The body, enhanced by the magical crests, will accurately replicate the movement."Oops! Left foot takedown!As a result, he tried to cut off his knees from the bottom of his body with a thrust that I don't know if you can call it a thrust, a thrust that is close to a slash.It's over, don't feel bad.After losing half a limb on the left side of the bear's head, he jumped up and sliced off its proud arm from the top step.It's done!Thanks for your help. Are you hurt?It's a bit of sand. Have you got your story?But before that, let's move on, because if we don't, another hexenbiest is going to come along."What about this?Even the fact that the result helped in an unscathed victory must be an interception.So we'll make sure of that.Our goal is different. And this is their prey, so let's just step aside.Copy that.Except for the purpose, you know.I'm not lying.We're here to go to town, not to slay a hexenbiest.Then why did Memoria choose her words as if she wanted to be on this mountain?I glanced at the five of you who have been out of the loop.I guess it makes sense.At this rate, we'll be talking about why we're deep in the mountains.From our point of view, that's what they're talking about too, but we'll make it look like we're not here for the monster, but something else in advance.Negotiation is Memoria's domain, so I'll be careful not to say anything unnecessary.And so what can I do for you?
