Shiraishikawa: Where is he? (Poke him.) jpg
Stella hurriedly closed the chat, her forehead burning hot as if she had a fever.
Her cheeks flushed instantly after such a private matter was mentioned.
"I've never taken it out even once!"
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Stella originally intended to suggest adding measures between herself and Shiraishi Kawa.
However, each time, due to being too impatient and immersed in pleasure, he repeatedly forgot.
She also observed this carefully during the impact test, and it seemed that the other chosen ones hadn't paid attention to this aspect.
It wasn't until Shiraishichuan told her just now that Stella realized she had been worrying for no reason for days!
Princess Crimson Lotus did not send any more private messages throughout the entire day.
……
Lian Viviette: After dealing with the goblin hero, the remaining goblins that had invaded the sewers were also basically wiped out.
Lian Vivit: However, during the extermination process, we discovered some information in their lair that I think Shiraishi-kun might find interesting...
Shiraishi Chuan: You can tell me about it.
Lian Vivit: In short, there is a possibility of a goblin army invading the national border recently.
Lian Viviette: I wasn't planning to bother Shiraishi-kun anymore, but he said before that I should report any unusual situations.
Unlike other worlds, the Goblin Slayer world has actually completed the defeat of the Demon God.
However, a large number of monsters are still fighting on their own and have no intention of being eliminated.
Humans, fairies, miners, and others are currently engaged in a protracted war of attrition against the remnants of the Demon God's army.
This is why the kingdom's regular army is unable to spare the resources to eliminate common monsters like goblins.
Adventurers then filled this gap.
Shiraishikawa: If they amass an army...
Lian Viviette: Then it's highly likely that it will be led by the Goblin King!
Shiraishikawa: That's definitely worth a trip.
Lian Viviette: I'll be ready and waiting for Shiraishi-kun's arrival. 0.5 Like the Winter General, the Goblin King is also a target that Shiraishi-kawa wants to recruit as a familiar.
As the strongest among the goblin race, his strength is no less than that of a gold or silver-ranked adventurer.
Furthermore, the appearance of the Goblin King foreshadows the further development of the Goblin Slayer storyline.
However, before anything could even be planned on the other side, a change occurred first on the DanMachi world side.
Group notification: A group member with the blue ribbon has been detected to be in danger. A rescue mission is now being initiated, with a limit of 3 participants.
Mission reward: 5000 points.
Will you participate in the rescue mission?
Chapter 279: No Mourning! Various beautiful girls arrived at the battlefield.
"Have you all gone mad?"
Sakurajima Mai, in a fit of anger, blocked the gate of the Hestia Familia's manor villa.
Beside her were Asuna, Shinobu Kocho, Saeko Busujima, and Rei Miyamoto, all of whom were already holding weapons in their hands.
They spread out in formation and faced together the ill-intentioned members of the Apollo clan.
The scene quickly attracted attention, but because it was a conflict between clans, no one dared to step forward for a while.
The two sides were locked in a tense standoff, but it was clear that the stalemate could not continue indefinitely, as the Apollo clan was in a hurry.
They were completely following Apollo's orders, disregarding Orario's rules.
"They actually intend to break in and take Lady Hestia hostage?"
"Do any of you still have any respect for the gods in your hearts?!"
“If you don’t stop, Shiraishi-kun will make you pay the price.”
When the gods descended to earth, they established several commandments that needed to be observed by all.
This includes the restriction that one cannot freely mobilize the divine power within their body, which is essentially the greatest limitation imposed on the deity themselves.
Regardless of the reason, anyone who uses divine power will be forcibly repatriated.
And it's not just Orario, but they're also forbidden from ever going to the Nether again!
Therefore, without divine power, the physical qualities of gods are actually almost similar to those of ordinary human races.
Only a few powerful gods can rival high-level adventurers in combat.
Hestia is clearly not the type who excels in combat; she can only play a support role.
If they were to be abducted by Apollo's retinue, the chosen ones knew there were only two possibilities.
Firstly, Hestia was used as a bargaining chip to force Shiraishi to compromise and "voluntarily" join Apollo's side.
Secondly, by forcing Hestia to use her divine power, she would be sent back to the heavens, which would naturally cause Hestia's Familia to disband.
In any case, even if Apollo fails to achieve his goal, he can still make things difficult for Hestia's Familia!
"The only god we truly respect is Lord Apollo!"
"No other god can compare to his greatness!"
“None of you, including that Bai Shi, would understand.”
The two clans escalated into a fight at the slightest provocation, drawing their swords at each other.
Although the chosen ones were all quite powerful, there were simply too many members of the Apollo Familia, with nearly a hundred people surrounding the entrance.
Inevitably, a few will slip through the net and evade the Chosen Ones' obstruction.
"Oh no! Lady Hestia is in danger!"
"Quick! Have you gotten in touch with Shiraishi-kun yet?"
Group notification: The ordinary high school student, the Railgun, and the Ice Witch have successfully received the rescue mission and are about to head to the target world.
Transmission in progress, please get ready...
Just as they opened the chat group, this announcement reassured them during the battle.
Master of the Butterfly House: Thank you!
Railgun: Your world is a magical world too, right? I know it like the back of my hand.
Princess Crimson Lotus: I'm currently on the tenth floor of the underground labyrinth, and I'll be back soon!
Bronze-rank adventurer: Sorry, my hand speed was a bit slow, but I'll be waiting for Lady Hestia's teleportation at any time.
Ice Witch: I will lend you all a hand!
Emilia often throws out words that aren't commonly used these days, and everyone's gotten used to it.
The most unique thing about the world of DanMachi is that most of the Chosen Ones are there.
Without a moment's mourning for not being able to secure a spot, those who rushed to the battlefield were the chosen ones who were already in this world!
……
"What?! Apollo is being so blatant?"
Loki was surprised and put down the wine jug he was holding.
She knows the most about the secrets of Orario and has the clearest understanding of the labyrinth's conditions.
The intelligence gathered in the past few days indicates that the Hestia Familia and the Apollo Familia are secretly vying for power, engaging in underhanded tactics against each other within the labyrinth.
Adventurers may attack each other due to grudges, but if no one sees it, it can be pretended that it never happened.
Given Apollo's flippant attitude, Hestia's clan's "Operation 137" was not considered excessive as long as it did not result in any casualties.
This is an unwritten rule in Orario; no one says it outright, but everyone silently follows it.
However, no one expected Apollo to be so arrogant as to put things out in the open and unilaterally start a war game.
And this was inside the city of Orario, especially during the day!
"Lord Loki, may I..."
"Go, Aistan."
"That way, Hestia will owe me a favor. Also, be careful not to get distracted by Shiraishi-kun!"
"...Thank you, Lord Loki!"
At the same time, as a member of the Takemikazuchi Familia with no vested interest, he was ordered to prepare for deployment.
In addition, at the "Abundant Mistress" tavern, the elven Lucian also disguised himself and quietly went there.
They are all temporarily participating in the battle as assistants to the Hestia Familia in their own names.
In this way, it will not involve the faction to which one belongs.
Orario was incredibly lively today.
Chapter 280: Shiraishikawa's Declaration of Exclusivity! The Apollo Familia's Defenses Are Breached
Group live streaming feature is coming soon...
Although Shiraishikawa intends to use the progress of the Re:Zero world to test his conjecture and see if it is related to the frequency of new members joining the group.
But since the plot of DanMachi world is more advanced now, it doesn't matter.
We can't just leave this place unattended and focus solely on conquering other worlds.
Shiraishikawa treated every chosen one equally.
Swish!
Shiraishi Kawa teleported in front of Hestia, like a towering wall protecting her behind him.
He coldly observed the Apollo clan members who had forced their way in.
In an instant, they broke out in a cold sweat under Shiraishi's scrutiny.
