The Ideal Country is the hometown of the elves, and it is also the home of the Holy Attribute Fantasy Species.

Unlike other magical beasts that live in the Ideal Country, they enjoy the protection of the elves. Among them are the unicorn tribe.

――The above is one of the things that each of the contestants told when they went to the venue.

This is not to say that it is forbidden to hunt these fantasy species, but to warn the contestants not to kill indiscriminately for no reason. The sheltered fantasy species basically exist in the form of ethnic groups. They are sheltered by the Ideal Township and live in their own homes, and at the same time, they are also restricted by the Ideal Township and will not take the initiative to attack the contestants.

It just so happened that the venue of this battle for the throne had a unicorn home. One of the eleven levels is also located here.

Compared to the other nine easy-to-find levels, the last two levels are slightly different.

It's not that you just have to find them to start a level, but you also need to meet additional conditions.

The unicorn living independent space is an endless grassland, and the farthest place from the entrance and exit is the checkpoint palace.

As soon as the second person stepped inside, he was enveloped by a glorious aura.

It is the product of the condensed magic aura that unicorns that live in groups unintentionally. It has the effect of speeding up healing.

Legend has it that the horn of a unicorn can detoxify and purify, and even has the effect of immortality.

The second dun didn't know if the legend was true, and he didn't want to know.

Unicorns are the aborigines of the Ideal Township and are protected by the Ideal Township. If you dare to kill wantonly, the consequences are unimaginable.

However, the second stay didn't plan to kill the beast and take the horns, her purpose was the deepest level palace.

Yuu, who came in with him, seemed to light up with interest after seeing the little unicorns running and playing on the grassland in the distance.

Then, in a daze, he took out a bundle of rope from his personal space.

It wasn't an ordinary rope, but a rope-type magic weapon. It's a by-product of what she made not long ago.

"You-sama! What do you want to do?! ”

The second came back to his senses and hurriedly stopped You.

"Unicorn meat, it should be delicious." You take it for granted on a notepad.

“……”

Erdu was speechless for a while, and seeing that You was really going to hunt, she hurriedly hugged You and didn't let her go.

"This really doesn't work, the rules of the competition say that the contestants are not allowed to kill indiscriminately for no reason."

"Reason? I want to eat. ”

You didn't think about it and wrote it on a notepad.

“……”

The second dumb was once again dumbfounded by the counterattack. But I won't let you go.

The two were at a stalemate, and Yu wanted to grab one and taste it, but the two didn't agree.

At this time, a third person suddenly appeared, interrupting the competition between the two.

"If you do kill the unicorn to eat, you'll probably both be disqualified."

A slightly playful neutral voice drifted in the wind. The second duke, who was still holding Yu a moment ago, instantly took out his weapon.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean it."

In the midst of the wind and flowers, a knight appeared.

He wears a tuxedo as cute as a lily, a large wide-brimmed hat with a bright pink feather tied at it.

Not only does the clothing tend to be feminine, but even his face and figure are very neutral. Nine out of ten people who didn't know his identity said he was a woman.

However, the truth is "he" and not "she".

With excellent insight, the second stay can see through the other party's gender at a glance.

"Who are you?" Erdun asked vigilantly.

Although Yu next to him was free, he didn't immediately set off to capture the unicorn after hearing what he just said.

After all, if it is really as the other party said, then it really outweighs the loss.

"You're Oliver's allies, so you must have heard of me."

The tone of the neutral and pleasant voice is spoken, but the tone that comes out is masculine.

"You're the knight Dion?"

The second stunned immediately remembered that in addition to the three Oliver, there was another person from the Frankish camp who participated in the battle for the king.

The knight Dieng is also a heroic spirit from France. However, they are not in the same era as Oliver and Astolfo, and they can only be said to be "fellow countrymen". Probably for this reason, since entering the field, Dieng has not acted with the Oliver trio.

Why did it suddenly appear at this time?

"Well, I'm Dieng." Dion nodded in acknowledgment with a charming smile.

"You're here?" Erdun asked.

"Just wanted to tell you about the rules here. Oliver didn't tell you, but I was the first person to find out about this place. ”

Dieng used his words and actions to mark kindness.

"That's right." The second dumb behaved noncommittally. Still, she let her guard down.

She could feel the kindness that Dion had unleashed, and there was no hint of falsehood.

In any case, the other party is Oliver's friend, and basic trust is still there.

"Eating a unicorn is really disqualified?"

Well, the place of focus is clearly different from the second stay. She hasn't given up on the flesh of a unicorn yet.

"Yes. I saw a contestant trying to hunt unicorns as well, but he was forcibly thrown out by Ideal Township before he could succeed. Dieng said.

"That's a shame."

Hearing Dion say this, Yu finally gave up.

It doesn't matter if she's disqualified, it's not good if she stays two times in a row.

Although Yu wants to eat unicorns, he also knows which of the two is more important.

"And what are the rules you are talking about?"

The second dun still chose to believe Dieng, so he asked.

"Levels like this that aren't directly placed in the arena have additional strategy conditions. There will be one or two in every battle for the king, and you should know this. Dion immediately entered the role of the commentator and began to explain to the second dude.

"Uh...... So. ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Erdu's face. Well, she didn't do much of her homework on that.

……

At the same time, another part of the site.

At the foot of the endless mountain range, there is a huge stone that stands out.

A dozen or so people gathered here to carry out destruction work on the stones.

A burst of sword light and sword shadow was the brilliance of magical power, even a stone harder than steel could not withstand it, and it turned into a ground of gravel under the attack of concentrated fire.

When the huge stone disappeared, the mountain wall behind it revealed its true face, and it turned out to be a cave.

Sure enough, my calculations were correct. One of the hidden levels is located in this area. ”

The eyed youth confidently pushed the frame.

"Without talking so much nonsense, I quickly went in and got the key. You quickly find the other remaining level as well. ”

The companion behind him kicked him and said in an impatient tone. (To be continued.) )
