Chapter 319
Jikuu Mahou chapter 319: Gold, silver, princess, commander
In the Devil’s town me, Aya and Hilda came to the last POW camp that Bunmi-san protected with【Teleportation】 .
Near the entrance of the last POW camp, a great number of devils were surging in with force .
Blocking the way of this large devil group are Mai-san and Bunmi-san .
Against the versatility of those two, the devils were blown away, and those who had luckily escaped from the two had been blown away by Ca.s.sandra´s 【Wind magic】 . However, all three of them were breathing heavily and I could see their tiredness .
「Bunmi-san, Ca.s.sandra-san, Mai-san, I´m sorry for being late . Are you alright?」
We"ll join in and regroup .
「We"re alright . . . . . . But we don"t have much magic power remaining」
As expected Bunmi-san can still respond after a series of battles .
「I understand . Hilda, give a 『Candy』 to everyone!」
「Yes!」
Hilda hurries and gives candies to everyone around .
「Thank you」 「Thank you」 「Thank you」
Thanks to Hilda´s candies, everyone"s MP began to recover, and they could continue to fight .
「Okay, then, I will help the POWs, so I ask everyone to hold out a bit longer!」
「「Ooo!!」」
I left the battle at the entrance to everyone, while I teleported the last 100 people away and finally finished rescuing all the prisoners .
「I finished rescuing everyone!」
I rushed to everyone"s battle . After that, we only have to escape .
. . . . . . But it"s hard to escape in the midst of this battle .
「Leave it to me」
Bunmi-san imbued magic power into his sword as a parting gift and swung it down firmly .
The sword swung down by Bunmi-san exploded with the wind and became a raging tornado that is attacking the devils . As Ca.s.sandra is using wind magic from behind, it’s probably a combined technique from them .
「Amazing! Let"s also do it!」
「Yeah!」
Aya and Hilda too, by combining their magic, created a 『Fire tornado』,
「Then, me too」
Mai-san pushes back the devils at a dash by using an extra large size of 『Exploding heat fist』 .
「Good! Let"s get out of here now!」
「「「Yes!」」」
During the moment when the devils are confused, we escaped the “Devil’s town" with 【Teleportation】 .
～～～～～～～～～～
After we escaped from the Devil"s town, we quickly headed to Lella’s and Rondo’s place who defended the stronghold .
「Lella, Rondo, how are you?」
「「Ah, Seiji」」
Rondo in his golden armour and Lella in her silver armour responded to me .
Their eyes are shimmering . I don"t like it .
「The devils aren"t attacking much . There doesn"t seem to be a problem at the moment」
Rondo responds so .
Rachel-san is making a huge "moat" with【Earth magic】, and the devils who try to go over the "moat" are beaten by Misha-san and Elena´s 【Water magic】 and knocked down the "moat .
Once in a while, arrows and magic fly towards here, but Lella´s silver shield prevents most of it .
Lella is confident that she can defend all of us alone .
I guess .
However, now that all the hostages were saved, all devils will come towards us .
「Because all members finished helping, let"s do the last touches here」
「Seiji, what do you mean last touches ?」
「For now, I"m going to block the exit and entrance . Rachel-san, I ask for your help」
「Ah!」
I took Rachel-san´s hand and used 【Teleportation】 .
「Rachel-san lets go～」
「Okay」
Rachel-san and I use 【Earth magic】, we create a『Landslide』 and blocked the cave which was the entrance of the 『Devil’s town』 .
The devils that tried to go out of town and those that tried to escape to the city in a hurry crowded around the entrance resulting in many devils being caught up in the landslide and buried alive .
And the devils who were shut down showed some resistance, but they quickly gave up their efforts and feeling frustrated due to losing their escape routes, they all gradually surrendered .
The moment we came back to the people who we rescued, after tying up the devils who surrendered . . . . . . 760 people greeted us with applause .
「Thank you very much . I don"t know how to thank you . . . . . . 」
One of the rescued people said thank you . . . . . .
「Everyone, listen!!」
Lella´s dad stood in a slightly elevated place and started talking loudly, using the 【Loudspeaker】 that had been lent to Rondo . Where was he, until now?
「My name is 『Knight Leader Lyle Gewalt』! Everyone, I have the responsibility to bring you back to the country . Be relieved!」
Hey, you"re not doing anything! What are you talking to everyone without permission? That"s dirty, truly dirty Lyle Gewalt .
「「Oh, knight leader-sama!!」」
Everyone began to fall down towards him .
I helped everyone with my 【Teleportation】 . . . . . . .
「Seiji-sama, are you okay?」
Elena was worried about me and rushed towards me .
「Thank you, Elena . I ran into the dark side for a moment but when I looked at Elena"s face, I got better . Thank you」
「？？I"m not sure, but are you hurt?」
「Ah, I"m alright, there’s no problem . There may be people who have been hurt among the people we rescued, so would you look after them」
「Yes!」
Ah, being healed by Elena~ .
When I was thinking about such a thing, a dirty fellow . . . . . . started speaking with the 【Loudspeaker】 .
「Those who are injured come forward! Princess Elena here will directly apply 【Recovery magic】! 」
Lyle Gewalt, again by himself without permission!
「「Uwooo!! Princess Elena!!!!」」
Those who knew that the princess had come to help in person were more enthusiastic than when Lyle Gewalt appeared and they all bowed down to praise Elena .
Elena who seemed to be accustomed to it went to the place of those who were injured and used recovery magic multiple times; she was then worshipped with tremendous momentum .
Well, rather than being helped by a mere adventurer, everyone would have a greater sense of security if the princess appears directly and helps them raise the country .
No, no, I"m not very frustrated!
「E, Everyone . . . . . if you have any troubles, please tell me . . . . . . 」
Lyle Gewalt says something .
But everyone is crazy about Elena, so no one had listened to his words .
They completely forgot about Lyle Gewalt and where entranced by Elena´s unrivalled sphere of activity .
「E, Everyone . . . . . . 」
Lyle Gewalt´s voice didn’t reach anyone . . . . . . .
He looks pitiful, so let me talk to him for a moment .
「Hey, Lyle Gewalt, thank you for the speech」
「Se, Seiji . . . . . . 」
Finally being spoken to, Lyle Gewalt smiled for a moment, but as soon as he knew it was me, he returned to his frowning face .
「As expected, a guy who does nothing seems to be fine」
For the time being, I"ll say it sarcastically .
「Wh, What!? I am the 『Commander』 of this 『Rescue force』!! 『Commander』 is someone who plans」
「Hmm? Since when did you become the『Commander』?」
「Since the beginning!」
Well, this guy is like that .
「Well then, what am I? A 『Hired Adventurer』?」
「That"s right!」
Immediately answering! Please think for a while .
「I see, I see～」
I intentionally faked that I had paid attention to him .
「Is there something wrong with that!」
「No, but . . . . . . what"s an 『Hired Adventurer』?」
「What?」
「I would like to receive a reward according to my work～」
「Wh, Whaatt!!?」
Lyle Gewalt"s complexion suddenly went bad .
「The matter of times is what you say! And it is not the right time now!」
「No, I thought so, but～somehow, Lyle Gewalt, you are the 『Commander』, and I"m supposed to be an 『Hired adventurer』 ~ For now, give me 『1 million aurum』」
「Gyakun!」
Lyle Gewalt opens his eyes wide .
Well, the fight with the devils isn"t over yet .
