Royal Capital Disturbance -Evacuation-

Behind Venom who was fighting Arios, were the children who were also holding their weapons up with Kenya as their lead.

Venom without being roused up, started attacking Arios without worrying about the children

Naturally moving as if he was walking, he rushed at Arios like a cannonball ignoring gravity and inertia.

And he reached the maximum speed immediately not giving time for Arios to prepare.

Doom Enemy[1]!!

The claws on Venoms hands grew longer and dyed in black

And while releasing Wave of Division, he approached Arios.

However

how nave.

Before anyone was aware, Arios was gripping a sword and swung it.

His sword shone like it was releasing radiance and cut off Venoms claws with extreme speed.

Arios expression didnt change as if its a natural result.

He looked at Venom just like looking at a bug.

Such condescending behavior was that of an overwhelming powerful person to those who was weaker.

However, his expression was distorted due to unexpected situation. Pain ran through Arios arm.

Hahaa, serve you right~! Luckily, two of it stuck in right?

Venom pointed it out and sprouting a smile.

As what Venom said, two claws had stuck in Arios arm.

You bastard, is this your aim from the start?

Nope, it isnt like that. I thought Id kill you by the first strike.

However, I thought that even if you grazed by one would be good. Well. Im so lucky again today.

You jester I will no longer hold back then.

Stupid~! Fighting without holding back from the beginning, such a thing should be the basic you know!

Towards Arios who was dyed with anger, Venom was thoughtfully cheerful.

However, in contrast to his attitude, theres no gap in his stance. With his cut claws already regenerated, Venoms consciousness focused on Arios.

Thats natural.

From the exchange just now, Venom was convinced that Arios was an overwhelmingly powerful person.

(Hee! As I expected, theres something that I cant perceive even inside of where my surveillance are.

Certainly, hes higher ranking than me

But, its not because hes fast that I cant see his movement.

That means that it was due to his ability that I cant detect him from the start, Im sure my thinking isnt wrong

Hes stronger than me, no doubt about it, but its not like I cant win.

In that case, its so convenient. I will kill this guy and take that power!)

While fighting, Venom felt laughter almost spilled out from his mouth.

Even if he defeats low ranking enemies, he cant obtain more power.

Therefore, he thought this time was a chance for him. Its a chance for him to defeat a high ranked enemy and obtained more power.

(Im lucky. Masayuki is here, this guy will become a high-quality food for me!)

If Arios strength is comparable to the high ranking people of Rimurus closest aidesThats on Diablos class and if Arios has an isolation ability, Venom would have no chance to win.

But, Venom noticed that Arios has no such ability.

Now that Venom was able to percept Arios movement, it probably meant that he couldnt use that ability.

Arios was not an unreachable existence, Venom concluded so.

Currently, Masayukis ability had increased Venoms luck.

It also exerted another effect on Venom, his strength increased unbelievably.

He can evade an inevitable attack for some reason, and attack that unlikely to hit was able to hit.

The evidence was the two poison claws stuck on Arios before.

In this lucky state, he believes that poison that shouldnt work will have an effect.

If thats so, theres no need to hesitate.

Venom believed in himself and Masayuki, and was going to challenge Arios whos stronger.

Masayuki stands with his arms folded while watching Venoms fight.

Honestly, rather than looking at it, he can understand the fight to some extent from the sparks that occurs once in a while.

Its not a speed that can be followed by eyes, Masayukis just pretending that hes watching.

(Or rather, I cant do anything like that you know.)

Because its no longer inside his area of understanding, the feeling of fear has weakened.

Since Masayuki decided to entrust the fight completely to Venom, Masayuki thinks about whats going to happen later.

The most important thing for Masayuki is his own safety.

The children seem to wait for their chance to take part in the fight, and eagerly watching the fight between Venom and Arios.

Turning his gaze to the children, Masayuki ponders.

(They are stronger than me. If thats so, I think it would be safer together

Or rather, why are they here?)

Masayuki finally feels the doubt about it.

When Masayuki comes to the capital, the children had already saved Hinata from the crisis.

Masayuki appeared at a good timing, in a favorable place, but he never aimed for that.

It just happened that the timing match with his arrival with his companions by Venoms transfer magic.

It wasnt like they had acted together till then.

Hey, Kenya! Why are you guys here?

Although its too late, Masayuki asks Kenya.

Masayukis behavior was too natural, like not thinking about the fightAlthough saying that hes ignoring as he cant see the fight wont be wrongin the peoples eyes, but he didnt notice it.

He felt he needs to ask the question for his safety later on.

He wanted to withdraw from this dangerous place quickly, but he thought that he needs a reason for that.

Ah, An-chan[2]. Actually, Alice is

Uhhh, with my abilityPerceiver (Space Wiseman)[3], I somehow know that danger is approaching Hinata Onee-chan!

Because Alice makes a racket, we somehow do it

For that reason, we came to help Hinata-san.

We got stronger thanks to Hakurou-shishou and Agera-Shishous training you know!

Right now we might not lose to Masayuki An-chan!

So, the children answer Masayukis question together.

(What are they saying From the start, they were stronger you know)

While thinking so, Masayuki consents with I see.

I see, I didnt think that you guys would be here.

We too, we didnt think that An-chan would come.

Yes. But, if you didnt come Hinata Onee-chan might have been killed Onii-chan, thank you!

Eh!? Ah, I guess so. Well, no need to worry if Im here.

Masayuki feels the sweats flowing on his back increased to the unexpected overestimation.

Aside from that

Apparently, Masayuki concludes that the enemys aim certainly to be Hinata.

(Well, what should I do? The enemy is aiming for Hinata-san, but Im near her so I would be in danger too)

Masayuki thought so, but the children said that they came here to protect Hinata.

Hed like to run away with transfer magic but Venom is fighting, it was difficult to run away from this place.

Although the enemy seems not going to interfere with the city and the citizens, the damage seemed to be massive due to stray attacks.

While thinking so, Masayuki draws a conclusion that the safest place is next to Hinata who the children will protect.

Alright, then Ill be next to Hinata-san. Because Ill protect you in case of something up.

Standing naturally next to Hinata, Masayuki spoke without any hesitation.

But, thats not the only reason.

Masayuki had something he wants to protect above all else.

The warmth left in his right hand thats right, the memory of the warmth and softness of Hinatas breast.

(Losing such wonderful things, I will never allow it!)

With Masayukis intense determination, the effect of his ability increased to the maximum.

While its a Unique Skill, its enough to reach the truth of the world.

As the result, the space called Lucky Field[4] which gives tremendous blessing to people Masayuki considers as ally expanded, thats unintended by Masayuki.

Hmm, as expected that angel-like guy is beyond my capabilities.. I can barely follow the movements.

Compared to that, your friend is amazing. He can somehow fight against that guy

Truly amazing

Hinata nods to Masayukis word.

And then she continues,

Well then, lets us do the thing that we can do now.

I think that will be helping the people escape from this place.

Nicholas, we will spread defense barrier in this place!

Sealing the aftereffect of that fight, it will become the peoples shield!

She shouts with vigor.

Based on that Girls belief, Hinata started to do what can be done now.

She doesnt think of an outrageous thing such as she wanted to save everyone, but helping people that need help in front of her thats the way Hinata lived.

Thats the thing that led to confidence, Hinata understood that well.

With pleasure!

Understood, Hinata-sama.

Leave it to me!

Responding to her are Nicholas, Leonard and Fritz.

Following Hinatas orders, the three ran to three sides. And then, a square with Hinata as the top is formed.

And so, with 4 holy knight class people, the defense barrier was spread.

Holy Field will be effective if the enemy is a monster, but this time theres Venom here and the enemy has the appearance of an angel.

If theyre carelessly put holy attribute barrier, it will be a hindrance instead.

With that in mind, they chose Material Shield (Holy and Magic Defense Barrier).

It was a barrier with the purpose to block explosion impact, heat etc, thats all elements.

Thus, Hinata plans to temporarily earn some time for the people to escape.

In align with Hinatas action,

Hinata onee-chan! Well also help!

Alice said so and synchronized the effect of Space Barrier of Unique SkillPerceiver with Hinata and cos barrier.

As the result, the Material Shield deployed by Hinata and co was reinforced greatly.

Looking at that, Gale went out ahead.

Well, I think my Unique SkillCultivator (Reclamator)[5]will be useful!

Gales Unique SkillCultivatorwas originally an ability suitable for agriculture, but depending on how to use it, it was an excellent ability with various applications.

Interfering with the earth, Gale covers the plaza on the people side with soils that turned hard.

Gale synchronized with the spirit of earth, on that moment a protective wall as strong as steel was completed.

A wall instantly appeared in front of the people. Naturally, the people were shaken.

After Gale are Kenya and Ryouta.

Alrighty! We will knock down that guy.

My eyes have gradually accustomed and become able to see that guys movement.

I dont think Masayuki An-chans turn will come!

Were also quite trained.

However, its reassuring that Masayuki-san is watching us!

Saying such words, Kenya and Ryouta participated in the fight.

Ah. When its dangerous, Ill protect you both!

Kenya and Ryouta replied with a nod.

(I never decided so though.)

So Masayuki thought.

As it becomes like this, Masayuki has no other choice but to believe that Venom and the children will defeat the enemy.

Its a miscalculation for Masayuki that Kenya and Ryouta participated in the fight.

He thought that they will keep protecting Hinata.

However, the cornerstone of the defense, thats Gale and Alice are still here.

Hinata and cos barrier seems to have been reinforced, although its not going as Masayuki has planned originally, his safety is secured for the time being.

(Hmm. Like this, it would be better not to make an unnecessary move.)

Masayuki made a decision and decided to deal with the remaining trouble quickly.

Thats the gaze of the people around the place.

Because Masayuki is Masayuki, he wants the people to go somewhere quickly.

Everyone, please calm down and leave the plaza! If theres a place where you can take refuge in

Masayuki is trying to keep the people away while showing his cool side to Hinata.

His plan is one.

When the situation turns worst, he will run away.

He thought that to make it easy for him to escape at any times, having fewer people here is better.

However, the people received his words in another meaning.

Hero-sama, he is worried about us

Idiot, its different! We are in his way. If hes fighting seriously, well get involved!

Is that so? So thats why he let the small apprentices fight

Thats right. If Masayuki-sama himself fights, theres no doubt hell win.

But then, we will get hurt too!

Were hindrances to him!?

Well, like that.

Naturally, they misunderstood Masayukis true motive.

Everyone, please run to the royal castle. Theres a large-scale barrier set up in that place.

Although the angels army will come to attack it, it will take time for the barrier to break.

In order to let Hero-dono to fight freely, a smooth evacuation will be better

A man suggested so towards the people who try to flee from the plaza.

That man is Prince Elrick who confessed his own crime.

His face is like someone who had been released from evil spirits grasp, his eyes are of a person who prepared and decide to accept anything.

Prince

Even the knights are surprised for a moment.

Everyone! Did you hear it? Please move calmly, theres enough space for everyone in the castle.

So theres no one injured by panic, please leave this place calmly.

Leave the rest to Hero-sama!

One of the knights issued instructions to the people with a large voice.

And then that knight ordered to the soldiers who were bewildered by the turn of the events to guide the populace and prepare to receive them in the castle.

Apparently, the man was the Knight Orders vice leader, receiving the order the knights promptly started to move.

Attached to them, the soldiers also began to move.

People began moving like water from the plaza.

We need to evacuate quickly so Masayuki-sama will be able to actively taking part in the fight with that in their hearts.

Thus, there were only a few people left in this place.
