The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard

59. midterm exam (2)

Looking around, all I could see was a bitter smile.

The guys even noticed the operation using Arlot and wrote magic tools to nullify magic.

The Lizardmen who couldn’t finish it were at the back of the party, and the Lizardmen who were guarding the nucleus were at the front of the party.

The party became perfectly surrounded.

‘Seeking help… would be impossible.’

I was so far away from professors and evaluators.

Blocked between dense trees, no matter how much I screamed, I couldn’t hear it.

All that remains is to defeat the monsters and break the marbles with the straight attack method.

The opponents who had to roll their heads and use their strength right away would be the Lizardmen in front of them.

“It has begun!”

I was going to throw my body and aim for the beads, but the guys started their offensive.

Spears and arrows piercing menacingly.

While Koyono and Evan blocked them, I folded Arlott’s wheelchair, put it on my back, and held her in my arms.

Arlott is still groaning with her eyes closed from magical exhaustion.

Since it was not possible to take mana potions according to the regulations, it would take quite a while to recover naturally enough to wake up.

Evan and Koyono are still at their limit, but if I leave, the problem will grow.

“Heaaah-!”

“…..!!”

Evan and Koyono’s struggle.

Based on that, they continued to retreat and were wary of being surrounded on all four sides.

Fortunately, after responding quickly, I was able to continue this without major injuries.

But in it, time just flowed helplessly.

“Schmitz, I’m fine now… ”

No matter how much time passed, Arlott regained a certain amount of magic power and slowly came to his senses.

However, it still seems difficult to expect offensive magic.

By using a simple protection magic to block blind arrows, it would be possible to protect one’s body.

I take out my pocket watch from my pocket and keep my eyes on the time.

About 18 minutes had passed since the test started.

After 2 minutes, the boss monster will come out.

If you encounter a boss in a situation where even one Lizardman has not been dealt with,

‘It’s going to be a question of survival rather than a test.’

Most of the party couldn’t defeat the boss monster.

Finish the test before the boss appears, or

I felt the difference in strength from the boss mob and ran away or it was one of the two.

However, even running away has become a long way off.

Even in the original work, I never stopped waiting for the boss monster to appear, so I didn’t even know its pattern.

‘…In other words, when the boss monster appears, there is no way to defeat it.’

“I will break the marbles and come back. Please bear with me for a little while.”

“Now, wait a minute… Lord Schmitz!”

With her skill, she formed a shadow clone identical to mine, attached it to Arlott, and immediately threw her body away.

Most of the guys were slower than me, so it wasn’t too difficult.

However, it is impossible to avoid all blind attacks.

There were scratches all over my body, and I felt the damage slowly accumulating.

“Keeek!!”

After enduring it and running for a long time, we finally arrived at the core…

The Lizardman shaman standing guard over the beads greeted me.

In my mind, I wanted to explode the nucleus at once, but it looks like the guy is spinning around at the level of almost covering the nucleus.

Avoiding the indiscriminately flying magic, I firmly thrust the dagger into his neck.

– Kkiek…! Kkeuk.

I moved the weak body to the side and moved my gaze to the core.

There is no time to hesitate any longer.

The moment I tried to cut the core right away with the dagger in my hand.

Ting-

“…?!”

The orb emitted an unpleasant purple smoke and deflected my dagger.

It was a familiar smoke.

That guy was just before the appearance of the boss monster, and it was an effect that always radiated out.

The pocket watch he hurriedly took out of his pocket pointed to exactly 20 minutes 01 seconds.

Before the regret that it would have been different had I come a little sooner,

My new model was blown off by something heavy.

“Ouch!”

I rolled on the floor again and again with the feeling of being hit by a car.

After barely stopping, I looked up and saw a lizardman twice as big as a human standing next to the nucleus holding a log.

‘Is it because of this that the core did not break… ‘

As long as the boss monster exists, the core of the dungeon is of course not destroyed.

Is this the reason why the marbles didn’t break apart with my blow?

Whatever it was, it didn’t change that it was a hopeless situation now.

“Krueheek!”

The guy who welcomed me with a loud voice looked like a combination of a Lizardman and an Ogre.

The large size and the appearance of dripping poisonous saliva are, of course, intimidating.

Just that log in his hand.

On the day that gets hit once again, we might have to seriously worry about survival.

“…I do not know yet.”

I turned my head and looked around.

Except for me and the boss monster, everyone was focused on Evan, Arlot, and Koyono.

It would be okay if I defeated him alone.

“…come.”

I forced my creaking body to stand up again and fired up my fighting spirit again.

As if he also confirmed my intention, he responded with a ferocious cry.

“Gwaaa!”

The distance between the two only gets closer as it approaches, shaking the ground.

The rolled gambler’s dice spat out the despairing number 1…

I swallowed the swear words and attacked him first.

* * *

Koyono and the others were busy defending rather than attacking.

They somehow tried to reduce the number of Lizardmen, but it was not an easy task.

Rather, it was a battle that lasted for a long time, and only their consumption was growing.

Among the Lizardmen’s army that continued to flock, Torino Koyono followed the figure of a man with his eyes.

‘…Schmitz-dono is fighting the boss monster.’

Schmitz leaves behind only his alter ego.

As if he had greeted the boss right before destroying the core, he was fighting against it single-handedly.

‘I have to trust Lord Schmitz now.’

Koyono decided to trust him.

He was the one who planned the strategy every time and was in charge of commanding the entire party.

This time too, they will save themselves with strange knowledge and power.

He would have to fulfill his role as a vanguard as he instructed.

Obviously, I wanted to believe that.

‘Somehow I feel uneasy… ‘

A small ripple arose in Koyono’s mind.

Arlott’s expression when his ice spear missed, and his voice when he left Arlott in his care.

It was because it was the appearance of Schmitz driven into a corner, which he had never seen before.

At that time, I was at a loss as to whether I should trust him and wait here, or whether I should go ahead and stick to him and give him strength.

“Shu, Schmitz… ! no!!”

Arlott’s tearing screams ring in her ears.

Following her infinitely enlarged pupils, what unfolded there,

“…! Lord Schmidt!!”

It was the figure of Schmitz barely enduring the Lizardman’s savage log slashing.

He was holding on for the moment, but his stamina was clearly nearing the bottom.

Seeing this, Koyono’s vision turned white.

It’s just that we’ve shared our hearts.

It was not too long ago that you said you would stay by my side.

It shouldn’t be like this.

You can’t protect him just by standing here holding a shield.

If so, can the sword at the waist protect him?

Just like the past when you lost someone important to you powerlessly even after you pulled out your sword…

Maybe I’ll lose someone again.

“Miss Koyono… ! Wake up, Koyono!!”

Koyono’s hand, which was trembling while sitting on her waist.

Arlott’s cool hand touches it, pulling Koyono out of her thoughts.

“Save Schmitz. I will kill time…!”

At the end of Arlott’s words, a bitter cold rages around.

A little while for it to flow through the ground and reach the enemies.

Instantly covers the entire body with ice crystals and incapacitates the enemy.

“…I’ll be back, Lord Arlot.”

It was an opportunity that Arlott had created by pouring out the mana he had stored up.

With only one determination not to miss it, Koyono made his way through the Lizardmen’s army with astonishing speed.

spearmen, shieldmen, archers.

After loosening all the rattling pauldrons, Koyono ran and ran, relying only on the sword on her waist and the shield on her back…

Finally stood in front of Schmitz and the giant Lizardman.

The guy turned to Schmitz, who showed an empty gap,

They were preparing for a massive attack using logs.

“No… It can’t be… ”

In the flow of time that slowed down again, the scenery of the past poured out like the wind.

A demon who crushes Hime.

Hime who resents herself.

Relatives who force seppuku.

The scars from the self-injury pierce her sorely, ringing an alarm in her head.

He said that if he took up the sword again, Schmitz would also become a part of that landscape.

But no.

The weak Koyono hiding behind the shield was unable to protect Schmitz.

The weight of the shield he carried on his back definitely spoke for it.

And there was one more existence that reminded me of this fact…

[This is to protect someone important.]

Arlot, Schmitz. Both of them are precious and precious to themselves.

So she could make up her mind.

Just as the ‘guy’ of the ordeal faced trials to protect his precious person,

‘… The girl, too, will gladly face this ordeal.’

Koyono made her choice.

The iron shield slid off Koyono’s back with a loud noise.

She poured all her energy into her feet and headed towards the Lizardmen.

“Hiya-!”

Step by step, the ground dents and you get closer to the boss as it is.

The pain of the past and the enemy in front of you.

Cut it cleanly.

Chew-!

“Keee!!”

With a heavy sound, the Lizardman’s arm fell off.

It created a fountain of blood and reached the point where it was incapacitated.

Schmidt, who had been watching this scene, looked at Koyono with eyes that seemed hard to believe.

“… Mr Koyono… ?”

“Right. The girl is here.”

Koyono looked at Schmitz and smiled.

It was a refreshing smile, as if he had thrown away something cramped.

“… The sword that will protect Lord Schmidt is here.”
