To Me, Who Was Single-Handedly Holding The Front Line, You Call Me A "Useless Piece of Trash"? Fine. I'll Live as I Please And Set Out On A Journey To Find A Cute Wife. - This time, I'll Become A Hero In The Enemy Country And Bare My Fangs At My Homeland - Episode 18

Pure bl00d is everything.

Based on this concept, the organization was formed, and we have been fighting against the half-breeds.

However, they have repeatedly committed cowardly acts and have tormented their comrades.

One of the leading figures, Elena Pros.

The title is the Judgment Wraith.

She is a cunning woman with two faces: the guild receptionist and the vice-captain of the knights.

On the surface, he has a gentle demeanor, but behind the scenes, he is extremely ruthless.

Hundreds of my comrades were sent to heaven by his rapier.

The organization was driven to a state of ruin, and before we knew it, our homeland had become a paradise for impostors.

That’s why I meticulously planned it.

Elina works as a receptionist at the guild once every few months.

After that, I drink to excess and fall asleep.

I gathered my comrades. I gathered the abilities necessary to definitely kill him.

Furthermore, something even more convenient was happening.

Bory Colleen, the Swift Blade, is absent due to the large monster subjugation.

There are rumors that Arne from the massacre squad has not yet returned after encountering the frenzied berserker.

God is saying, “Now is the time.”

However, there were also irregularities.

A young girl and a man I don’t know well came out of the bar together.

That said, it’s convenient.

If we display the gruesome corpses alongside Elina, they should be terrified.

This is the prologue.

Raise the signal fire, and once again bring this country into our hands.

“Everyone, charge!”

A companion with magical telepathy sends a signal to everyone.

The plan has taken three years.

Teleportation, Crimson Flame Firewall, Wind Blade Leaf Cutter.

We also trained our coordinated attacks to kill Elena.

They burst in all at once through the front door, back door, windows, and every conceivable entrance.

It was supposed to be a sure success.

“……C-Captain……”

“Whoaahhhhhhhhhh”

“――What, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek”

“Ugh, ugh…”

What caught my eye was the mist.

I have memorized the entire layout of Elena’s house.

However, it’s completely white and I can’t see anything.

Eventually, what I heard was the scream of my comrades.

I feel an incredibly chilling cold. What on earth is this?

Hastily draw the sword.

At that moment, I realized that I could barely see my feet.

However, at the same time, a man appeared at a terrifying speed.

“— Yo, and goodbye.”

Immediately afterward, my vision spins. My focus is unsteady.

My head trembled, and my senses went numb.

I only knew that I was about to fall to the ground.

Even as I move my right hand to draw the sword, there is nothing from the elbow down. The bl00d disappears into the white mist.

Eventually, I collapsed to the ground.

My leg was also cut, so I can’t put any strength into it.

After that, all I could do was watch as my comrades were taken down.

Incredible speed, terrifying swordsmanship, slashing people while wearing a smile.

However, it was not Elena who was doing that,

He was an ordinary-looking man who came out of the tavern.

Before the breakthrough.

“Elena, did you have plans to go out drinking with a large group today?”

I called out to her, even though she was crying for some reason behind me.

“Huh?” they said while walking over. They weren’t wearing any clothes, just wrapped in a bath towel.

“Yamagishi-san, you can’t look!?”

“Oh, sorry.”

Continuing the conversation while covering my eyes with my hands.

“What are you talking about?”

“The house is surrounded by a large number of people. They might be quite skilled. There’s a tiny bit of magic leaking out.”

Fern closes her eyes in surprise. It must be magical sensing.

“…There was no such promise.”

“That means it’s probably the enemy. I think they’ll be charging in soon. Fern, what do you think?”

“I can indeed feel it a little. But Yamagishi-san, how do you know without using any magic?”

“Doesn’t it feel like, you know, ‘hyun’?”

“Hyun…?”

Yeah, it might be like, “No, that’s not it.”

But I guess they’ll probably say they don’t really understand.

Not right now.

“First, prepare for battle. Elina, do you have any idea?”

“……If they are targeting me, it might be an organization that hates mixed bl00d.”

“I see. Fern, you’re still drunk, right? You can go ahead and sleep.”

“No, I’ll fight too. — Yamagishi-san, is it okay if we coordinate like we did when we took down the goblin?”

“Oh, sounds good. Let’s do that.”

“Collaboration?”

Elena asks. It’s the cooperative magic that Fern and I used today.

“It will blind them. Elina, attack from below.”

Then, Fern began to chant a spell.

What makes her extraordinary is the precision and speed of her magic.

Place both hands on the ground and whisper quietly.

“Water, appear, freeze”

A chill hangs in the air. Everything in front of me is being enveloped in white.

It seems that Elena figured out how to move. She’s really a strong person after all.

Immediately after, the magical power swelled outside the house.

Well then, let’s enjoy the killing game.

The men appeared with clear intent to kill.

However, it is completely white and startling.

As I crouched down and slashed at his leg, he fell over.

Slash the carotid artery, next.

First person. Second person. Third person.

Ha, Fern’s magic is the best after all.

“――Who are you?”

“Hi, higiyaaaaaaaahhhhh”

At a slight distance, Elena was stabbing the man’s thing from below.

Looks painful. He seems kind, but he’s merciless.

The movements are beautiful. They seem to have trained quite a lot.

Is the weapon a rapier, perhaps?

Fourth person, fifth person.

They seem to be pretty strong, but we can’t attack if we can’t see the enemy, right?

The magic spell I cast randomly hits the wall.

“See you later.”

The sixth person.

Ahh. Killing people is way more fun than killing monsters, after all.

Seventh person. Eighth person.

After slashing his leg, when I looked at the man’s face, he somehow had a commanding presence.

I don’t know the reason. It’s because they have a sulky face.

But it hits, you know.

Should I let this guy live?

Ninth person.

Alright, I guess this is it.

“――Higyaaa!”

Oh, it looks like Elena has finished over there too.

“Fern, you can release it now!”

When you ask in a loud voice, the fog gradually clears.

This collaboration is really great. Above all, it’s so much fun.

What does it feel like to be killed by an unseen enemy?

Ah, but it’s a shame that the bl00d is hard to see.

Hmm, is it not really good to say this?

By the way, I have Fern’s Ice Sword in my hand. Thank you as always.

Today, it’s dyed red again and looks cool.

At that moment, I lock eyes with Elina.

“Elena, good job. It’s all right――”

“Yamagishi-san, are you okay!? Is Fern-san safe too!?”

Then, Elina hurriedly approaches and touches our bodies.

It seems like they are checking to see if I’m injured.

“It’s okay.”

“Uh, I’m fine too.”

“……I’m glad.”

Are you more worried about us, who you just met today, than about yourself getting attacked?

Really, you’re such a good person.

“They are probably the Pureblood organization Pureblood.”

“Pureblood Organization Pureblood?”

“They judged half-breeds like us as embodiments of evil and killed many innocent people. They thought they had annihilated us, but I am deeply sorry.”

At that moment, Fern notices Elena’s beast ears.

With wide eyes, she seems about to say something but stops.

Well, you end up wanting to talk about various things, right?

“……Damn it.”

At that moment, one of the men who had fallen shouted.

It’s the one I left behind.

Elena approaches and gives a cold stare.

Is it torture? Are they going to extract all sorts of information? I’m so excited!

“You were still alive, huh?”

“……Of course. I can’t just let fakes like you run free and die.”

You’ve lost your right hand and had your leg cut off, yet your spirit remains unbroken.

What a strong person. I wonder what they usually eat. Probably meat, right?

“I see.”

“……More importantly, where did you pick up that monster of a man?”

I wonder who it is. Was there any other guy besides me?

Then Elena grabbed the man’s collar.

Is it torture time from here? They’re probably going to extract information about the organization’s inner workings.

It has a professional vibe, and I’m looking forward to various things.

“……No matter how much I’m tortured, I won’t say anything――”

“Your favorite couple was having a sweet moment! You ruined their precious time!”

Then Elena shouted at the top of her lungs.

The man is confused. There are too many technical terms he doesn’t understand, but it’s amazing how he was able to scare such a strong-looking man with just one blow.

“W-what kind of flower…—hiiiii”

A slap without question.

Terrifying.

I ask Fern in a low voice.

“Hey, what does ‘oshi cap’ mean?”

“I don’t know… Is it the name of an organization?”

It seems even the knowledgeable Fern doesn’t know.

Amazing. Is this a conversation among professionals?

Ah, I got slapped again. Bl00d is coming out of my mouth. Did I lose a tooth too?

“St-stop it… What are you talking about…?”

“My favorite couple! They were doing so well! But then you put them in danger! How could you! How could you!”

Elena’s slaps continued after that.

The man has been looking completely bewildered.

Is it better to scare them first?

Wow, that’s informative.

“Stop it already. I-I don’t understand what’s going on!”

After that, the man revealed the hideout of his accomplices.

Elena, you’re amazing.

I see, so I should say “my favorite couple” while slapping, huh? I’ll give it a try next time.

By the way, when I asked if I could slap him once too, Fern got mad at me.

“Mr. Yamagishi, let’s learn to endure.”

Yes

Yes

The next day, Fern and I were surprisingly invited to the royal castle of Verdi.

The Trava Desert.

The group, including Arne, taking a break while sitting on a withered tree.

“……It’s hot. I had to take a huge detour because of that Murder Spider Death Creature.”

“Yeah. I want to go home soon. — Hey, senpai, didn’t the shoplifter disappear?”

“……Yeah. Well, thanks to his abilities, we managed to get out of that predicament.”

“Indeed. But he seemed like a good guy, huh?”

At that moment, footsteps can be heard.

The footprints are approaching the desert with a rustling sound.

The two were on high alert. However, what appeared was a half-naked thief.

“Hey, weren’t you supposed to run away?”

Then, Manbiki smoothly handed over the bamboo tube of water.

Arne asks.

“Where did you get this water?”

“Even in the desert, it rains. Under dead trees, the trunks often contain moisture. I gathered it from there. Also, I made myself invisible just in case to avoid encountering any monsters. Sorry for startling you.”

“Really, can I drink this?”

“He’s the one who saved my life. Of course!”

The junior first hands it to Arne. Arne moistens his lips just a little and immediately hands it back to the junior.

“Delicious, delicious, so great!”

The junior drinks happily, wearing a blissful expression.

Then, he/she opened his/her mouth.

“Hey, why did you leave without saying anything? You could have just told me you were going to get water.”

“I didn’t want to get your hopes up and then let you down, since I didn’t know if it was there or not.”

At Manbiki’s answer, Arne and the junior member exchanged slight smiles.

I became the overall daily champion! I’m so happy.

In the professional writer category, we’re steadily climbing while staying in first place!

I look forward to working with you in the future.

I want a New Year’s gift in the form of a text review! Haha

An event in the present continuous tense.

The pureblood organization seems to be on the verge of collapse.

Elena, whose favorite couple was interrupted, was furious.

I only remembered the word “Yamagishi is my favorite couple.”

Fern seemed like she wanted to say something after looking at Elina’s beast ears.

Arne, the junior, and Manbiki are crossing the Trava Desert.

I feel like the shoplifter is a good guy.

Simultaneous progress like a frontispiece.

Bory is returning to the Verdi Royal Castle after defeating the large monster.

Hair (Don’t be afraid even if you meet that guy. I’m here.)

“……I hear a reassuring voice.”
