Chapter 41. Field Ruins
That's how we came to the front of the ruins.
Ruins...?
"It's a field."
"It's a field."
"It's a field."
"It's a field."
We just talked about the scene that unfolded in front of us.
The ruins, which Lucia once dug up, are still subtly covered because most of them were buried in the soil.
In the back, there is a stone ruined body, and in front of it is a pile of dug-up soil.
For some reason, all the soil that should have been dug up had been plowed.
That's right, a field. In front of the ruins, or rather, all around them, are fields.
"Hey, what do you mean, this was filled up until recently? Why do we have a field?"
"I don't know if you say that..."
Judging from Lucia's bewildered appearance, these are not a phenomenon unique to this world.
Noel, who usually makes fun of her with Lucia, was pondering with interest in the face of this mysterious phenomenon.
"There is a slight hint of magic, maybe the fields around this ruin were held by magic?"
"Retention?"
Noel asks, and Noelle nods.
"It was a field for a long time before the ruins were buried in the soil."
"Is that possible?"
I don't know how old this ruin was, but it must have been at least a hundred years old because it was buried so deep.
"It's not normal... the Ancient Blood is sealed here, it might be his power."
It's ridiculous to think the fields have been maintained for a hundred years. It's amazing to think that the surrounding area, especially the ruins, has not deteriorated as it was at the time.
My throat is dry.
It's just that it's sealed, and I feel that the Ancient Blood here is incomparably more dangerous than Reema, who loves hot springs.
"Seeing this unusual scene, it's no wonder that the Adventurer's Guild is cautious... So what to do? Are we coming in?"
Sakuya pointed to the entrance to the ruins and looked at us anxiously.
We stared at each other in silence for a while. Lucia suddenly pouted.
"It's okay! This goddess Luc is attached! No matter what vicious Ancient Blood, I'll seal it up again!"
"Goddess Apprentice."
Where does this confidence come from Lucia? The Goddess's Apprentice, or Half-Human, quirk is strangely bullish towards Ancient Bloods.
However, it is also true that this kind of no-weather makes you feel better.
"Alright, let's go."
I walked towards the entrance of the ruins.
"If you walk in front of it, it's dangerous! I'll protect you, so stay behind! And you're watching me in action! Later, I'm going to have sex with you, Noelle, because you're good-looking!"
"That's right, Akira-san... Leave it to me in the front and be protected in the back. And later, I have a habit of proudly protecting you during the day, but at night I keep being blamed by you, this masochist woman, please have sex in a blame-blame situation"
Noel and Sakuya said these things as they stepped forward as if to protect me.
I can't fight, so I must be protected behind these guys. Maybe I shouldn't keep up?
These three people are motivated or purposed to show me that they are active in protecting me, so I guess they will refuse such a proposal with all their might.
After all, I wish I had some kind of power or a role.
However, as a man, it is difficult for me to handle magic, so I can't support it with magic.
What's going on?
Perhaps sensing my feelings, Lucia, who was walking beside me, put her hand on my shoulder.
"It's okay, Akira-san because in case of emergency, Akira is the only one you can rely on in the end."
"I'...?"
She smiles with an encouraging tone of voice.
"Yes, actually, I've been silent until now, but Akira-san has the strongest ability against Ancient Blood."
"What's...!?"
It's the first time I've heard of it. Well, I didn't expect that kind of power!
"Yes... All of the Ancient Blood are women, so naturally, they have to be aware of Akira, who is a man! Ancient Blood, which has been sealed for many years, should be with hundreds of years' worth of sexual desire! If Akira sets up color there, any vicious Ancient Blood will be excited! If you get in your with one shot, she will be captivated by Akira and may even become your ally!"
"I missed it."
Why is there such a stupid story...
There is... no reason for that.
No, but is it possible?
Not to mention Lucia, all the women in this world are exposed... to sexual desire.
At worst, do you go with that hand?
I'm sorry, but my only weapon is being a man. If you can use it, you should take advantage of it.
Determined and prepared for what if, I stepped into the ruins with the three of them.
