Chapter Four: Mira sells herself?“Is it Mira dono? I will remember it. However, a summoner!, that is to say summoners are amazing!”
“This time, it was not a problem if it was of this degree.”
“This fellow is ridiculous. To acquire a summoning skill which was not inferior to hobgoblins, you must have had a really good master.”
” Hmm, there is such a place.”
There are no such masters in such a place, but let me pretend there is. It became troublesome for Mira to think of an excuse so she had answered positively. The Dark Knight that had been kept out until then was made to return,
Graia disappointingly lifted his gaze from the location of the Dark Knight. Meanwhile, two groups came back from reconnaissance of the woods.
“Report. There are no signs of others in the vicinity. With regards to the companions of that ojou chan there, they have either already fled the surrounding area, or……”
One of the platoon leaders found it difficult to report the contents of his report. However, it was an imaginary fear. Mira stared at the platoon leader with a guilty feeling. However, the platoon leader misunderstood the glance, and exuded a cheerful air.
“Nay, ojou chan it is surely alright.” It is very likely that they managed to get away. It is because hobgoblins are lacking in agility stats. They are surely safe.
To say that they were safe so many times, this platoon leader must have had a very conscientious character, almost to the point that one would think he was not acting. Basically, having come to this, the idea of this being a game and the idea of this not being a game (rather, her recognition of both) are fighting each other, and though she can’t completely abandon the idea that these are role-playing players or NPCs, these completely human reactions (overflowing with ‘humanness’) caused her to feel quite shaken.
It was just that the existence of the bracelet terminal supported the idea that was a game. Although she had Graia’s word that adventurers all carried the same thing, it was still very vague evidence and this worried her. In other words, evidence that this was a game only existed in Mira’s head.
“Report. Inside the hobgoblin fort, a number of high class archgoblins have been spotted. However we were able to confirm that are at least 150 hobgoblins. There are thought to be the same number located in the inner premises.
“Even for the weakest variety there are 300, but for there to be higher class species as well….. We had better wait for reinforcements then.”
“Well, now that you mention it…..”
“What is it.”
“The commander who hesitated a little to speak, opened his mouth gravely.” The words caused a huge commotion among the group of knights.
“Begin to prepare battle formations against the hobgoblins.” It seems the invasion is near.”
Graia’s face grimaced for a moment, and revealing a sigh he crossed his arms as he made his decision.
“Is that so….. well there is no time to wait for reinforcements. We must somehow do it ourselves.Pondering a bit, the figure of the Dark Knight whom Mira had summoned appeared in Graia’s head. That overwhelming air of intimidation which caused even hobgoblins to be frightened. Also, judging from the traces of the fierce battle that took place here, the Dark Knight’s true strength is not inferior to a hobgoblin’s. Graia estimated that to be so.
Unexpectedly, the conclusion that Graia had reached through his own suppositions, was actually quite different from reality. Graia, when he first heard that the Dark Knight had killed them all, he had imagined a fierce harsh battle. Who on earth could fight with two opponents one after another, the result was that he thought this the result of a grand battle.
The fact that Mira had dealt with 100 opponents at the same time, let alone in a span of two to three minutes did not cross his mind. Rather, it did not come to mind because he thought it impossible. It was common sense for the elite Arkite magic knights who were dispatched to the front of battles to fight alone. The fighting method that a summoner would use to fight did not cross their minds.
“Well then, Mira dono. Would you not give your help as an adventurer here? “It may be useful later on to earn the knights’ gratitude.”
Their smiles ceasing, Graia’s knight company protested at his decision.
Graia was keeping an eye on Mira’s summoning. Even if the odds were one to one for the knights, it would be unlikely for them to lose one in three. They had strength worthy of that of an elite. However, this time there are a large amount of opponents. The danger had surely increased 6 fold. This was where Mira comes into play.
The summoned Dark Knight would bear the brunt of the enemy. There was no danger in dying because it could simply return. It was even better qualified as a diversion because of its dreadful appearance.
And then, while the hobgoblin’s attention was distracted, the knights would use a pincer attack to dramatically decrease their numbers. Their chances of victory would skyrocket should they do it.This was the plan that Graia made up.
“Hmm, well that’s good. Then shall we go.
” Oh are you willing to do this? It is very kind of you. You will be compensated for this.”
Mira accepts the request. Although there was some self-interest mixed in accepting the request from Graia, she felt that it was not right to get to know the person who woke her up this way.
“What was the basis for thinking this? Not long ago she had used [Investigate] to glimpse his status.Name: Graia Astol
Class: Holy Knight
Position: Arkite Kingdom
Hometown: Arkite Kingdom capital Lunatic Lake
HP: 1440 / 1440
MP: 143 / 143
Strength: 8 + 2
Stamina: 10 + 1
Mana: 5
Dexterity: 7
Agility: 7 + 2
His stats did not amount to much like this.After looking around a little, the commander Graia had the highest status values. Mira assessed that his Strength and Stamina were rather low.
His expectation of its skill was changed.
