Huge Holy 32

32 - The girl is coming

RAW

About a week after leaving the country.
Luckily, the red-haired twin-tailed girl was heading in the direction of E Kingdom――or more precisely W Country, when she found a massive amount of discarded magical tools.
All of them are randomly and messily placed, and the surrounding vegetation is in a state of decay due to the effects of the magic tools.
The red-haired girl activated fire detection magic.

“...[Heat Sensor]”

Seeing the result, the girl became a little interested.
It was faint, but other than magic power, she could sense heat. A small tool is hidden inside the discarded magic tools.
In the world where Josiah lived, this kind of tool would be called a [Listening Device].

Apparently, it was intentionally left unattended so that it would be collected by E Kingdom in order to gather their inside information.
However, there is only a weak heat and no detectable magic. Is this A Empire's state-of-the-art technology? If it can’t be caught by magic detection, it might be able to break through the elves’ inspection.
The girl pinches and crushes the [Listening Device] that she discovered by sensing it.

“The cost of making such a big tool... this is much more wasteful. Above all, it was stupid to even fire [Senpai].”

She was, so to speak, venting her anger.

However, the A Empire troops, which seemed to have been hiding, did not remain silent and several of them surrounded the girl.
The hidden transportation magic tool escapes first.
However, the girl had long since grasped their presence with the [Heat sensor] she had just used. There are also several camouflaged magic weapons standing by in the vicinity.

“[Flame Pillar]”

This is an anomalous form of the fire magic [Flame Arrow].
She deploys a magic circle precisely at the position of the magic weapons detected by the [Heat Sensor]. It fires a [Flame Arrow] that boasts ten times the power and speed of a normal one from the ground, blowing away all of the moderately heavy magic weapons. Those spells are no longer [Flame Arrow] but [Flame Pillar].
Techniques such as adjustments to increase power were discovered by the girl’s [Senpai] who was good at magic.

The soldiers of A Empire were taken aback, but they quickly regained their composure.

“Idiot! That's a cutting-edge weapon manufactured from a special metal made by synthesizing monster material that neutralizes magic!! With that level of power, there’s no way you could――”

Boom!

A flashy sound effects of magic weapons falling down.
Due to the impact of the sudden drop, all of them were dented or overturned, unable to move, or the pilot was crushed inside… the part that was partially lightened to some extent so that it could run was hit, and flames encroached into the pilot's seat and exploded.

In other words, even though they took countermeasures against magic power, they were lax in terms of durability and other things.

The girl did not miss the chance of the assured soldiers being stunned by the result. She accurately sniped their heads with [Flame Arrow].

“...[Flame Javelin]”

Finally, she shot and burned the transportation magic tool that was running away using a [Flame Arrow] that has its speed enhanced.

An hour after the deadly battle ended, the lights of W Country spread across the red-haired girl's vision.
That's how dark it has become.
‘First, let’s head to the guild’ the girl thought.

There are a number of countries that have guilds and would not be humble to people who used to belong to A Empire.
W Country is one of them.
The girl aimed at this place because she thought [Senpai] might be here.

However, when she was going through the departure formalities without having time to investigate, an employee told her this.

“Are you from A Empire? You kind of have that kind of atmosphere. Do all the citizens there feel like you? Even the person from A Empire who entered the country is also――”

“!? What kind of person is that?”

“He was a young man with an old-looking face and gray-streaked hair. I was honestly surprised that he was 20.”

Those features, there is no doubt that it is the [Senpai] that the girl knows.
The employee who blabber about personal information is a problem.
But, the girl was relieved that her [Senpai] was able to enter W Country safely and muttered “I’m glad.”

“Where is this Josiah person?”

“Eh? Ah, you're from A Empire, that’s why you know Josiah-san. Yes, Josiah-san joined here, and he's been quite active lately.”

That's obvious.
If it were a normal country instead of A Empire, this is what would happen.
These are the impressions the girl had.

The receptionist told the girl that it was late and that she should greet him tomorrow, so the girl decided to rest her body for the day.
