A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 328: Auction House Attack (4)

What were Asil and Flora doing while the weasels were hiding out disguised as guards?

Of course, they weren't playing around.

– This is a magic tool that can remotely explode a bomb.

The weasel said so and gave Flora a large red button.

Doesn't he think that if he just adds the word 'magic tool', he can do anything?

Asil thought so, but since the magic tool was actually in his hand, she couldn't say anything.

The mission given to Asil and Flora was simple yet difficult.

When you press the button, the bomb explodes.

It's as simple as setting off a bomb to cause a disturbance when some time has passed after the weasel hides in the waiting room.

However, since it was made by Weasel, who was not an expert, within a short period of time, it had many shortcomings.

First, the distance for the button to operate was short.

It was far enough to be safe from explosions and debris, but not far enough to keep the entire huge auction house in range.

The saying was that in order to cause an uproar throughout the auction house, you had to set off a bomb while running on both feet.

The people at the auction house and the mercenaries were not fools either.

If they see two women running around and pushing buttons while everyone is confused by the explosion, they will naturally be suspicious.

In other words, you may not know it at the beginning of the auction house attack, but later on, you have to explode the bomb while running away from the mercenaries who are desperate to catch them.

I couldn't prepare myself properly to fight back.

Of course, when considering individual strength, Asil and Flora were much stronger.

A blessed body that was overflowing with talent from the beginning, the skills accumulated through systematic training at the academy, and excellent equipment that is difficult to put a value on.

And the numerous practical experiences that Soira has experienced due to her purposely searching for dangerous places.

Even though she had heard that Flora's family was alive, there was a reason why Soira, who knew better than anyone else how dangerous the front line facing the Demon King's army was, took them to the front line.

If Asil and Flora were too weak to handle the frontline enemies, Sora would have found another way.

There would be no need for Soira to defeat the Demon King on her own in this episode anyway. She might have just sent a letter and that would have been the end.

However, no matter how strong Asil and Flora were, the auction house was the enemy's stronghold.

If you deal with endless enemies, your running pace will naturally slow down, and you will eventually be surrounded.

It was not an easy problem.

The difficult part was that I had to do something about it.

And time passed, and it was a little while before I joined Soira.

"Flora! Four in front!"

"『Fire Bomb』!"

As soon as Asil's instructions were given, Flora threw a fireball in front of her.

– Kwaang!

The shock wave that erupted and scattered flames blew away the four mercenaries who were blocking the path like trash.

Among them, there was a mercenary who showed his tenacity and wielded a weapon until the moment he flew away, but Asil, who was right next to Flora, kicked them all away.

"Three at 2 o'clock!"

"『Fire Bomb』!"

The two ran hard, repeating this process.

Fortunately, there was no need to check the back or sides.

"Catch those bitches!"

"What is this because I couldn't catch even two women! If you miss, you all will die!"

Because even without checking, I could sense an incredibly sinister force.

The mercenaries, who at first made obscenities by saying they would give them back for three days and three nights if they caught them, began to show pure murderous intent as the damage caused by Asil and Flora increased.

– Kwaang!

Another group of mercenaries flew away like bowling pins.

However, although the mercenaries who flew away this time had their entire bodies scorched, none of them were particularly broken or fainted and got up again and joined the group chasing Asil and Flora.

It meant that Flora's magical power was starting to decline. Even though she had the "Magic affinity" Ability, her magical power was not infinite.

"You know... !"

Flora called out to Asil in an anxious tone.

"Are you okay. Just go a little further!"

Asil reassured Flora and looked at a certain part of her auction house building.

This was the place where the weasel decided to escape with Soira and Justitia.

However, I didn't promise to come out by exactly when, so I couldn't say that everything would be resolved once I got there...

Now was the time to try gambling.

"Omg... Omg... Huh..."

Asil held his breath and gave more strength to his legs as he kicked off the ground.

'Why am I doing this?'

Asil suddenly had that thought.

I'm sure he wasn't the type to get involved in something this dangerous.

Since the god she met through the saint assured her, 'If you wait, you can return to the original world,' she had no reason to take the risk.

You could just stay in a suitable town or city and occasionally work as an adventurer to pass the time, or one option would have been to stay the same without leaving the academy.

But...

Asil held Flora's hand as she stumbled as she ran down the road that was ruined by the bomb.

The body I had when I was Asil's man was natural, and even compared to my current body, I felt the warmth from my small hands.

There must have been another way. There may have been.

As you know, I don't really regret anything now.

◆

"It was driven in!"

"Huh... Huh... ? ??, ????? ??? ???..."

Asil and Flora arrived at their destination.

I turned my back on the scheduled meeting place and faced the mercenaries following me.

The mercenaries, who thought they were cornered, did not rush in and calmly formed a siege.

It was a good thing that Asil and Flora were able to get some time to breathe.

Secretly, quietly.

While the mercenaries were hesitating to decide who would attack first, just looking at each other, one of the orange armbands shouted, unable to hold back his frustration.

"How long are you going to just watch! Rock..."

– Kwaaaaang!!!

Just before giving the command to charge, a large explosion occurred in the auction house building.

– Coo coo coo... Palace!!

The entire wall collapsed as if falling off the building.

"... Under. "The timing is perfect."

With Asil's mumbling, the dust slowly settled, and the people who had been waiting appeared.

——————–

Looking around, I had a rough idea of ??what the situation was.

First, the people surrounding you are enemies. There seemed to be no problem as long as you knew that.

I immediately took out my favorite shield, Cruid of the Castle Wall, from my inventory.

Ah. This reassuring and heavy weight that I feel in my arms.

Long time... A time of humiliation and training that was never lost... I'm not particularly sick of it... I didn't do it.

But it's time to go back. As Soira, the 'tank' of the party.

"Justitia! Flora! Behind me!"

I sent two wizards to the rear and went to the front.

There was a bit of a stir as there was someone among the mercenaries who recognized me.

"What. "Isn't that today's product?"

"A product? Why is that kid here?"

"I don't know either. "Wait a minute, when I look at it, the big-breasted woman behind me is also a product?"

The orange armband blocked the noisy mercenaries.

"Noisy! It's a product or something, so grab it and think about it! "Charge!!"

At the words of the orange armband, the commotion of the mercenaries died down, and a sharp feeling of hostility pierced my skin.

The tension is immediate, as if anyone makes even the slightest move, a battle will begin.

"Ouch!"

Push shoot!

A fountain of blood spurted out along with a scream from outside the siege.

Before the dust settled, the weasel, which had disappeared, went outside and made a surprise attack.

He said he worked in the intelligence department, but in fact, it was a secret raid that made me think he might have been an assassin.

"Another enemy?!"

A few mercenaries looked back, embarrassed by the attack from behind.

A brief moment of distraction.

The mercenaries' siege was greatly shaken by the magic of Flora and Justitia, who flew in without missing the opportunity.

"Asil!"

"Okay!"

Asil charged, as he always did.

Asil's hair was a clear light blue color. This meant that he expected a long war and merged the spirits with Undine.

In this case, it would be difficult to use the usual tactic of blowing away area magic to get Asil involved, but anyway, there were many enemy mercenaries other than those around Asil.

And that also means that it is difficult to attract everyone's aggro by yourself.

"Oops."

– Pong.

I blocked the fire magic aimed at the two wizards with my shield.

The magic, which would have originally exploded with a loud sound, died down with only a dull sound due to the shield's damage reduction effect.

The enemy wizard's devastated face was visible beyond the shield.

Since you know very well how powerful your magic is, you might find it absurd.

However, the cost of turning a blind eye in the midst of a battle was great.

When he saw a weasel slowly appear behind the mercenary wizard, he turned his gaze elsewhere.

Although Asil was in a bit of a precarious situation, he was fighting well, withstanding the minor injuries thanks to Undine's resilience.

Justitia, feeling refreshed after using magic for the first time in a while, was firing magic here and there, destroying her siege.

Flora... I must have used up quite a bit of magic power on the way here, but it wasn't really working, so I took out a potion from my inventory.

"Ah. Thank you."

"If it's not enough, tell me. Because there are plenty more."

The firepower of the two wizards who could use advanced magic was enormous.

Every time the magic exploded, the mercenaries flew around like a physics engine bug, and the enemies gritted their teeth and targeted Flora and Justitia, but there was no one skilled enough to get past me and reach the rear.

"I thought I would have caught everything by now. "You're still fighting, right?"

"Get out below the orange line! The damage will only increase."

Until those who appear to be mercenary executives appear.
