VOLUME 2

Chapter 1: The Raid
Part 5

“Jun, you’re a skillful leader, just as I expected.”

Yukaria watched the battle intently while listening to her tablet from an empty area. The group in charge of killing the weak monsters was steadily taking out Vermillion Bird Guardians. At this rate, victory would surely be theirs.

“The real battle starts when it goes into enraged mode.”

A male knight was sitting next to Yukaria. As tanks, knights differed from light warriors, another tank cla.s.s, in that they did not have taunt, though they had stuns, recovery spells, and other white magician-esque magic.

“Carelessness will not be tolerated. When the boss’ HP goes below 50%, monster resp.a.w.n speed will double. When that happens, how will you handle it?”

“That’s where we come in.”

A girl in a black dress slapped the knight. She was married to him, but also played a summoner, an attacking cla.s.s.

“But I want the raid to be a bit more challenging. We don’t want you to want to retire.”

“This is Jun’s first time leading a raid. Let’s hope the stars are aligned in our favor and pray for success.”

“Even if you say things like that&h.e.l.lip; Murakami, you still are stressed out, right?”

“Yeah&h.e.l.lip; right.”

Yukari laughed ambiguously.

(Retirement, huh.)

Two of her teammates were going to retire after this raid and live a happy married life. They had said that they had been planning on opening a store in Payang. The rest of the team really should have been wis.h.i.+ng them good luck&h.e.l.lip;

“Let’s think about how Murakami feels here.”

“Yeah&h.e.l.lip; sorry Murakami. Seems like you’re always the one in this position.”

The male light warrior and the female druid seemed uncomfortable.

“Please don’t think too much of it.”

Trying to stop the commotion, Yukari smiled sweetly. “You two have finally become such good friends with us, I’m relieved. Really.”

That’s how she really felt. That happiness came from the bottom of her heart. However&h.e.l.lip;

“It’s really wonderful how you guys have been so blessed by both sides.”

Their five person group had ended up being divided into two lesser ones of two people, and Yukaria ended up as the odd one out.

It couldn’t have been helped. Those boys and girls had lived together for three months. They entered relations.h.i.+ps with each other, this was natural even if they deepened their friends.h.i.+ps.

However, Yukaria was a bit lonely, as if she had been left to eat alone.

(I guess it can’t be helped)

She sighed inaudibly.

“We made it down to 50%,” murmured the female druid, lifting her face from her tablet.

The Vermillion Bird shrieked. Just now, the rate at which Vermillion Bird Guardians were resp.a.w.ning went up. As soon as the groups in charge of killing them managed to pull one of them, another appeared elsewhere.

“Does it seem like we can do it?”

“Yeah&h.e.l.lip; Somehow, we will.”

The summoner closed her eyes. She let her familiar loose into the s.p.a.ce. She was gathering information with its eyes.

“This is bad. The newbies are getting confused.”

Sensing the danger, Jun hurried on over to Yukaria’s group.

“You four, go to the inner left side. As for you, Yukaria, go hold the monsters flooding the main group back.”

“Understood. I’m not healing?”

“See Eri about that.”

“Basically, she’s the main healer then?”

“So that the Vermillion Bird will stay on the main group. I asked her to do it.”

Jun rushed off to somewhere else.

Though they were still keeping things in order, if it broke down, it would be very difficult to regroup. That was how raids worked. But they stood firmly in that critical moment.

“Well, I’m going. Murasaki, don’t overdo it.”

“Of course. Ah, tensions are rising. I’ll shoot at the Vermillion Bird Guardians.”

“&h.e.l.lip; You have to do it skillfully, or else you’ll pull all of them.”

While Yukaria left the group and went towards the Vermillion Bird, she shouted “Wake Up”. Her body became covered in light and her eye-popping red dress turned into simple leather armor. She had guns in both of her hands.

Gunslinger. When in a reliable group, gunslinger could utilize its abilities extremely effectively, which made it stand out from the other cla.s.ses.

(So, what will I do? After this&h.e.l.lip;)
