6 min read1,609 words

A ray of light ran through “Rupol’s City”.

People who are panicking and trying to escape as fast as possible, fill the streets of the city, screaming and shouting.

At top speed, Fior Eurasian kicked the walls of the shops and houses on the street and passed over the heads of the refugees in a three-dimensional motion.

When the boy saw the inhuman movement, he opened his mouth and watched the adventurer moving at high speed like a flowing star.

“Where is the source… This is it!”

The city’s central square — a beautiful square with a fountain by a famous architect and flowers and plants blooming in lustrous colors – was filled with Soil hornwormSand worm growing out of the ground.

It had a yellow and earth-colored mottled body that stretched up to three meters in length, its entire body spewing out the mucus that emitted an odor, sharp fangs sprouting from its palate at the tip that stretched to the sky, and a large number of tentacles extending from its throat.

The countless numbers of Soil hornwormSand worm wormed their way around, opening and closing the “eyes” on either side of their bodies as they expanded and contracted.

“There is no way it could have grown so naturally in the soil of the city … Someone must have grown it “on purpose”…”

Who the hell did that?

Before asking that question, Fior rushes to do what she needs to do and plunges into a swarm of ugly hornworms.

”Eurasian Lightning”. His father used to call that, it was an excellent body control that would not ashamed of her father’s name.

From the perspective of just a human being, it would have seemed as if Fior’s figure had disappeared in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he had made contact with the lead Soil hornwormSand worm.

Lightning footstepsBrixto— a special step handed down from generation to generation in the Eurasian family, it gathers the magic power that normally accumulates only in the soles of the feet into three points – the soles of the feet, the soles of the knees, and the soles of the thighs – and releases it all at once.

With a gait that balances the accumulation and release of magic power in a way that no ordinary person can achieve, she turns into a ray of light and cuts the.Soil hornwormSand worm into a circle from the root.

While spitting out body fluids, the giant hornworm died, and Fior, who kept his beautiful face, danced and slayed the Natural Disaster BeastMonster in all directions.

A large number of giant hornworms was supposed to be wiped out without any help –until her sword melted down.

“Kuh… too many of them…… the sword…… won’t last!”

The mucus of Soil hornwormSand worm will melt and ruin iron and copper. Most adventurers know it, so they have no choice but to ignore it or bring in expensive silver weapons to avoid wasting their weapons.

“Then, by using magic–“

She held out her palm and was about to use some less-than-confident magic, but stopped when she spotted a crying girl in the middle of the crowd.

Until now, they must have killed their voices and stayed hidden. However, the unilateral slaughter of Fior caused confusion in the swarm of Soil hornwormSand worm, and when they saw the ugly hornworms wriggling around, the tension finally broke down.

No, she will get drag in!

In front of Fior, who had suppressed the magic power he was trying to release, the Soil hornwormSand worm reacted to the little girl’s cry and stretched its body high into the sky – without hesitation, it swung down with great force.

It was supposed to turn the poor girl into a lump of blood and flesh, to be siphoned off by the ugly hornworm’s spitting tentacles.

It was supposed to be–

“Are you…… okay……?”

A tenth of a second faster, Fior was covering her and taking the blow with her back.

Blood flows from the struck head, and beautiful gold hair is dyed red and black. The intense pain made her dizzy and the bones in her back seemed to distort.

Did the defense not make it in time — Fior smiled as if she realized her fate, and hugged the girl tightly, and covered the girl with her chest.

“O, Onee-chan, run !!”

“No… I won’t run away… although I am useless… I won’t run away here… I’ve been making a lot of mistakes today… I have to do something cool…”

”Run” she said, what a brave girl.

Could she have said such a thing in the past? Fior thought about that, and felt the girl’s body heat with her whole body.

“Otou-sama… I’m sorry …”

She regretted her unworthiness, apologized to her father, and closed her eyes with determination, unable to even defend herself with magic due to the intense pain and serious wound.

She closes her eyes– she heard a sound.

A high-pitched sound as if something was about to burst. She turned around in her shaking consciousness, wondering at the pain that would not come no matter how long she waited.

“Otou…. Sama….?”

There was a back there. It’s a big back. A father-like back that she has always been respected.

“… I’ll take care of the rest.”

In front of her– A great adventurer was standing there.

“Yu, Yuuri-sama …”

Yuuri Alchiffon stood there with an imposing appearance. As if he was there from the beginning.

“W-why did you come here …?”

“… I came to get rid of them.”

The man whom Fior had admired for so many years, the man whom he had idealized, whispered to her and turned his gaze to his “enemy”.

“Yuuri-sama … It’s no work… the sword can not — Eh?”

What he was carrying was a “towel”. It was a plain cloth towel.

Eh, why a towel?

It was natural for Fior to think so, but Yuuri Alchiffon, who stands in front of her, casually held a towel at his waist and pulled it out.

PA~AN!! She hears a powerful sound of air popping, and a cavity is drilled into the body of the Soil hornwormSand worm. It’s as if she can’t see his hand. It was as if the space around his hand was blurring, and the next thing she knew the Soil hornwormSand worm was flying apart.

She is an A-rank adventurer, had struggled so much against them but when she saw Yuuri slaughtering them with a mere towel, she opened her mouth wide.

Is this a dream or something? I mean, why a towel?

The famous adventurer, Yuuri Alchiffon, would never do anything meaningless… Fior continued to seriously consider and came to a conclusion.

“I see…! At the time of the earthquake, Yuuri-sama had already realized that it was the work of the Soil hornwormSand worm…! That’s why he came out with a towel, not a sword. “

To be honest, she didn’t think the towel had the power like this– Fior finally realized his intentions.

“Change your weapon according to your opponent… If you don’t have a weapon, make it with something familiar … That’s what your intentions, right, Yuuri-sama …!”

Watch and copy the work — what a great and kind person to not only help but also teach.

Fior tried to give up once, but she felt the desire to go on an adventure with him again. She was so excited that she forgot the deep wounds she had.

In a blink of an eye, Yuuri, who had finished destroying the hornworm with just a towel, approached Fior who has a blank expression on her face — from ten meters in front of her, he threw the towel to her.

“……Eh?”

Bringing the towel that was softly placed on her head to her hand, Fior stares at the handsome boy in front of her.

“… Wipe your body”

“Ah……!”

Fior, who noticed that she was covered in the mucus of Soil hornwormSand worm and gave off a bad odor, blushed and hurriedly wiped her whole body with a towel.

No wonder he’s popular with women. It’s rare to find someone who can be so considerate in this emergency situation.

Fior thought so, and suddenly felt embarrassed about everything and shouted at his back as he tried to leave without even receiving a thank you.

“Ano!!“

He stopped.

“Thank you very much! Also, I still don’t want to give up on you, Yuuri-sama!”

The great adventurer resumes walking and raises one hand–

“… Rahi~ya, Ahi~yuda“

He said something in Ancient Emil Language.

” ‘See you tomorrow’… Even at a time like this, to do exam … No, it’s a joke, isn’t it … He is a really amazing person …”

Fascinated, Fior looks at his back with admiration.

“Yuuri-sama … I … want to get closer to you …”

When she saw the girl on her chest staring at Yuuri with a blush expression, Fior felt embarrassed, wondering if she had the same look on her face.

I stuttered. I really stuttered.

On the way home, I put one hand on the wall of the back street and sagged down while trying to regulate my nervous hyperventilation.

“Because I was in a hurry, I forgot my sword… That wasn’t cool… But I’m glad the mucus disguised my vomit… Nice, Soil hornwormSand worm…… “

As I looked up at the night sky, I could see the faces of the Soil hornwormSand worm I had killed as stars in the sky.

“……Nice, Soil hornwormSand worm“

They shimmered as if they were speaking softly to me, saying, “It’s okay.”
