Chapter 154.2

Chapter 154.2 \n<h1>Chapter 154 The End and The Beginning ③ </h1>\n\n　We walked around the city while collecting frogs that were stunned and were *kerokero* croaking around the inns into a basket on our back. 

　The person in charge of collecting the frogs was a magical creature created by Sytry, Kilkill-kun. When he finds a frog, he *poipoi* tossed it into the basket.

　Kilkill-kun was in good spirits today too. His gray-skin body, bright red boomerang pants, and extremely well-developed body stand out like a sore thumb. With a paper bag on his head and a sorry-looking ribbon attached to it, it was no wonder that Sytry said that he would get caught if he walked outside.

　It seemed that Lucia uses illusion magic to hide its appearance when they normally take him around, but even if I have seen Kilkill-kun before, the way he came flying at high speed the moment we were about to leave the inn was a hundred times scarier than a bandit.　Sytry was running up to him with a smile on her face, but I do think that her senses are a little off.

　And since Kilkill-kun, who was supposed to be with Luke and the others, was here, then it was certain that Luke and the others had come to this city.　I don’t know why they came to this city, but we are in a pinch, so their timing was perfect.

　In the end, not only Arnold’s face was drained of his blood after seeing his friends turning into frogs, his soul completely flew away when Kilkill-kun appeared.　Apparently, it was completely beyond his understanding. He carefully put his friends in bottles and trudged along behind me.\n

　There was a chorus of frogs everywhere, not just around the inn, but in the whole city of  Surus.　Apparently, Lucia’s magic wasn’t aimed at Tino, it just aimed indiscriminately. Compared to the magic I thought of, Lucia’s magic was on another scale.

　Before being impressed, I am scared of it.

“As expected of Lucia-chan…… I wonder how wide the radius effect is, she seems quite pent-up.” (Sytry)

“…… What do you think made her like this?” (Cry)

“………… I think it is because she was forced to get rid of bandits even though she had been told that it was a vacation and had thought that she could go into an Onsen.” (Sytry)

　That isn’t my fault. Tell that to the bandits.

“………… Everything would have been fine if Gladys Knight Order had arrived in time, but they are seriously useless. Wasn’t the request supposed to be a joint request!” (Cry)

　Well, I wasn’t intending on taking it though.

　There were frogs scattered all over the city, but some of them remained human and didn’t turn into frogs. \n　Moreover, they didn’t look like bandits, they were all unarmed people. Without hiding their confusion, they wander around while calling for help.

　From what I could hear, it seemed that when they were being held captive, the bandits suddenly disappeared.

 

“I wonder if there are some kind of requirements?” (Cry)

“I think it targeted everyone except for non-combatants.” (Sytry)

“How did she do that?” (Cry)

“…… Lucia-chan had complained that Cry-san had asked her something unreasonable like to create magic that would have no effect on the ordinary citizen……” (Sytry)

　….. Did I. Aaah, I did say that.

\n　I hugged her light body. Liz placed her cheek perfectly against mine and squealed cheerfully.

“Cry-chan~, I, am, baaaaaaaaaaaaack~!” (Liz)

“………… Liz, it’s not like you just came back.”

　That was the same thing as what she did the other day at the 【White Wolves Den】.

“Don’t worry about the details~!” (Liz)

　I can feel her heart beating quickly against my chest. While *surisuri* rubbing me and having her hand stroked my back, a *nikoniko* smiling Sytry pulled her tied up hair from behind her and pulled her away.

　And then, I finally caught sight of Anthem’s huge head poking out of the top of the gate, and a huge man with an axe and a big sword in each hand, having a sword fight against Luke and his wooden sword, who was waving his hands and shouting loudly.
