Pioneering the Apocalyptic World - Chapter 85

Chapter 20: A Sudden competition between meatheads

When I looked into Eris’s face… Her cheeks are flushed, her eyes are moist… Well, you know, she’s making a face more like a girl in love than when she said she wanted Regulus as her groom? What is this?
Regulus also fell in love with Uru’s strength and called her ‘nee-san’, but is strong = popular is the standard in this village?
…… No way, When I slowly looked around while holding my breath at the unpleasant premonition that ran down my spine.

“She’s so strong, that girl … I wonder if she can be my son’s wife.”

“No, wait! Rather than handing it over to that idiot, she should be my wife!”

“Ah? It’s a waste either way! I’m here-”

And so, a commotion spread between the men??although there were a few women mixed in??and, although the attack was supposed to be over, another conflict was about to arise.
…… It might be better than being feared and rejected, but what to do about this……!

“Rion, it’s over.”

“Wait Uru! Don’t come here now!”

While screaming that, I put my body in front to hide the approaching Uru behind, the raging attack started.

“Miss, marry me!”

“No, rather than this old man, please marry with me!”

“Ah, even I…!”

“Huh? Huh? Wha, what is…”

Uru was surprised by the sudden wave of people that attacked her??It seems she got beyond surprised and starting to feel fear…… Some people are pretty desperate and have a scary look in their face.…… Even to me, who is not their target, is scary just seeing them.
But, it’s not like they are hostile, so she can’t even blow them away like monster, and it seems like she is frozen in place with a twitching face.
However, the residents didn’t show any signs of noticing Uru’s situation, and attacked with the momentum of pushing aside me who was acting as a breakwater.

Really t h e s e g u y s !

It was the same with Eris, but why are you guys rushing without thinking about your opponent feelings! In a sense, it’s worse than in Alness Village!
If you guys don’t calm down, I’ll snap okay!?

“Uru! Take me and jump backwards!”

“… I-I got it!”

Although her reaction was delayed for a moment, Uru obediently (She probably wanted to leave as well.) put her arms around my waist and leaped backwards.

“She ran away!?”

“Please wait!”

“As if I would let you guys catch up!!”

The residents immediately tried to close the gap, but in the meantime I took out a fence for monsters and set it up.
In the wall that suddenly appeared, the resident running in the front helplessly bumped into.

“Guah!?”

“Ouch, what is this!?”

However, they didn’t seem to be discouraged with only that, and it was full of people trying to climb over the fence.
Trying to stop that, I shouted to them. I had the intention to intimidate and stop them, but it might be the first time I’ve raised my voice so loudly.

“To force yours convenience onto us, not only a single time, but twice! Do you really want to turn me into an enemy!?”

By my resounding roar, the surroundings were filled with silence.
… But it was only for a short time.

“””In other words, if I beat you, you will admit it right!”””

Aaaaaaaahhh that’s right, from Eris case I should have expected something like this to happen…!
Get what you want by force! If there’s an obstacle, repel it with your force! This meat head group!
Or rather, before that, you guys still don’t know that I’m a miko, right! So you guys aren’t afraid of turning ordinary hyumans into enemies, right!

By the way, Eris was the only one who stopped with her face turning pale. …… Well, it’s you that caused the first time.
Tigar-san also seems to became panicked, and started to reprimand them, but they are in a too frenzied state, and it’s like a drop of water in hot stone.
Really, damn it!

“”Let’s gooooooo!!!””

The fences were climbed over, or broken down, and the inhabitants rushed in with great vigor.

“Ugh!”

I opened a hole in the ground with a shovel in a far as possible position. A few fell down in the hole, but as expected of the beastmans, most of them quickly responded and jumped over the hole.
Then, how about this, I set up a stone block wall. Stacking five vertically so that they can’t get over it so easily.
Let’s buy time and prepare a defensive posture… I thought, but.

“How impertinent!”

Surprisingly, there was a person who rushed in by crushing stones blocks from the front. I thought that there might be some people who can jump over this, but I didn’t expect someone to break through the front!

“Really!?”

Even if I become surprised, it’s not the time to stop. I managed to push it out of the hole with a large amount of water.
However, what a handicap game. If they were opponents like monsters, and I won’t mind about killing them, I can just scatter attack items and magic arrows, but as expected, I can’t do that with them.
I wish I had practiced using thunder more… If I could use a wide range of non-lethal paralysis debuff, it would have been a great chance to use here…!
Anyways, I have to stop my opponent’s feet??When I thought about it, something flashed through my mind.
Everyone is going berserk, so it’s doubtful if it’s effective, but let’s try it!

“Uru, jump back again!”

“… Ah, I-I understand.”

While jumping in the air, I scattered stones, sand, trees, and other non-dangerous items as obstacles, so that I could buy time even a little, and stacked stone blocks surrounding Uru and me when we landed. However, this time it will not be used as a mere wall.

“Creation (making)??!”

The surrounding stone blocks started to glow and change their shape.
It’s after I did it, but you can make multiple creations at the same time, I just found out for the first time! Well, my MP depletion rate is increased by that amount!”
However, it seems that the time is not shortened, but as a matter of course, it’s rather getting longer.

“Damn! The foothold!”

“This is nothing!”

Even though the voices that are gradually approaching from the other side of the light made me feel impatient, I concentrated into only putting my MP.

“Alright ! I got it!”

“R-Rion…”

And when finally, a person who crossed the obstacle area appeared, and he tried to approach raising the weapon in his hand.
The item that I was aiming for a one-shot reversal has been completed.

“[Wind God’s Stone Statue]!!”

“Guah!?”

“””!!?”””

Don! It seems that even the residents that are in berserk state were taken aback by the appearance of numerous stone statues of their object of worship. Well, the person in the lead bumped into them face first. I heard voices of surprise from here and there.
I set up a stone block at my feet, move it to a high position where everyone can see it, and shout loudly as if to provoke while standing upright.…… Well, yeah I didn’t have to provoke them. At that time, I was also in a strange mood.

“Come on! Can you guys lay your hand on the Wind God!?”

“Wind God-sama…!?”

“Wait, what’s that! Where did it come from!?”

“… Huh? Just now, no way…?”

It seems only now that they started to realize who I am.
When everyone finally took the attitude to listen, Tigar-san informed them that I was a miko, and at the same time, he even said “If someone continues to rampage and cause trouble, I will deal with them myself!” and threatened them.
It’s extravagant to say that I wished that you’d done something sooner? While holding such an impression, I let out a sigh of relief as the strategy seems to have worked out.

In this way, from my point of view, the madness that I can only say, “Aren’t you guys stupid?” gradually subsided.

“… I think that Rion is the only miko who uses a God as a shield…”

On the other hand, Regulus, who had been left dumbfounded by the commotion from beginning to end, muttered something like this.
