Chapter 43: Accident

In the end, Sato Hikaru did not immediately go back.

In addition to Yunyun, being the only one with conscience, was unwilling to leave behind Aqua, there was also another minor accident.

"Fireball! Fireball! Fireball! Ahh, why are there so many of them!!"

Along with Yunyun's continuous release of fireball, at the side, Sato Hikaru who had just released his final arrow, put down his bow.

"So, it is difficult to deal with the enemy if there are too many of them."

As for the actual amount that Sato Hikaru meant by "too many", you only needed to see at this moment, at the mountain and the plains! Although it was not to the point of having the whole mountain and wilderness covered, giant frogs could indeed be seen approaching quickly from every direction.

As for why it became like this, everything could be attributed to Megumin's explosion magic that was not only maxed out in destructive power but was also very loud and caused tremors.

Other than the originally targeted three giant frogs being bombed to the point of being dust, the strong resulting tremors and sounds also awakened those frogs that had eaten their fill and were about to enter the ground to hibernate in order to make final preparation for egg-laying.

"I'm sorry Yunyun, although I know that you are very busy, can you help me hold down the skirt?"

On the other hand, Megumin, who had used her explosion magic and dropped to the ground, did not even show the slightest bit of urgency.

She even spoke with Yunyun: "It seemed that when I dropped down, my skirt was flipped upwards, when wind blew, I felt a bit cold."

"Fireball! Ahh! Right now, I don't have the energy to care about that! Fireball!!!"

After once again throwing out a fireball, Yunyun looked around her and realized.

Since Sato Hikaru had run out of arrows, and the firepower had reduced, some giant frogs had crept much closer.

"No, this distance, it is almost within the attack range of the giant frog, this cannot continue!"

"Indeed, it won't be good if this continues, do you need my help?"

"Please!"

"I don't need your help!"

"Eh?"

Hearing Megumin's rejection, Yunyun finally realized why she felt something was wrong.

When she turned back, she saw Sato Hikaru squatting beside Megumin, his eyes staring straight at Megumin's skirt.

Obviously, the 'help' just now was not targeted at her.

"Mr. Sato!!!"

"Ahem, no need to thank me."

"Who wants to thank you! You pervert!"

Sato Hikaru, who had conveniently tidied Megumin's skirt, did not care about the clamoring Megumin, stood up and looked at the surroundings towards the slowly increasing and gathering giant frogs, and took out a staff from his system space.

"I originally wanted to get along with you as an archer, but what I got in exchange was…"

"Sato, wait, something seemed to have caught my leg, ahh…"

"Hm?"

Sato Hikaru, who had chanted halfway, heard Megumin's sound that was quickly getting further away, turned his head and saw only the mage hat and staff was left behind on the ground.

As for Megumin…

"I'm sorry, can you give me a bit of help?"

"Ahh!! Megumin!!!"

Seeing Megumin, who only had her head outside the giant frog's mouth, Yunyun quickly raised her staff in a panic towards the giant frog: "Wind, aiya…"

Sato Hikaru once again turned his head, and saw that Yunyun had also been swallowed by a silently approaching giant frog, and only one hand could be seen outside the frog's mouth.

Shaking his head and said helplessly: "All of you had forgotten, I have a magic shield around me, why do you want to walk out…Hm! Wind blade!"

Speaking halfway, he suddenly felt something wrong and raised his hand towards his back and released a wind blade which immediately cut off the frog tongue that sneaked up on him.

"Ah? This…"

After carefully sensing his surroundings, Sato Hikaru awkwardly realized that…

"It seems that when I left today, in order to properly experience how it feels to be an archer, I turned off the magic shield?"

"Talk about that kind of thing later, I felt that I seemed to be sliding downwards, can you please help me out first?"

Hearing Megumin's cry for help, Sato Hikaru first propped up his magic shield and raised his staff: "The amount is a bit too much, then…enhance magic power, enhance power, five-layered-casting…Thunder!"

"Backstab!"

Just when Sato Hikaru had stacked many BUFFs, and prepared to release an AOE to clean the field, a thief with silver hair suddenly appeared behind the giant frog that had swallowed Yunyun and stabbed two daggers into the giant frog's nape.

On the other side, a blonde knight in armor entered the field and immediately blocked in front of those monsters.

"All of you monsters, come and fight with me face to face, taunt!!"

"Ah! That's bad."

Seeing that the magic power had been released out of the staff, Sato Hikaru quickly looked at the two people that suddenly appeared and shouted loudly: "Quickly get down!"

Hearing Sato Hikaru's reminder, that thief immediately dropped to the ground.

On the other side, that lady knight actually held her weapon tightly with a face full of perseverance.

"As a knight, I will not retreaaaaaahhhhh…."

"You can't blame me for this."

Sato Hikaru looked away with some guilt as he saw that under the extremely enhanced thunder attack, along with the giant frogs that were roasted black and dropped to the ground, the blonde lady knight was also releasing some smoke.

"I've already warned you to get down."
