I looked victoriously where the fully naked Aria is and saw her out cold. She must have fainted from pleasure, even though I went to the trouble of restoring everyone's stamina she just got knocked out cold with our little play.

I put her cloak over her body or else she'll feel cold or be seen naked.

Before joining the battle, I asked One to return and guard her. She got here quickly while I was wearing back my clothes so that's favorable.

"I'll be going then!"

I waved at One(She waved back) and returned to the battle field. When I got there, I saw that all the adventurers were now focused on one enemy— The Dark Orc General Garek.

Apparently, they beat everyone else already except him. The Orc General was infuriated and was desperately thrashing his already nipped sword everywhere like a madman.

His skin also had numerous wounds already from all the concentrated attacks directed to his body. I might as well help by releasing him from his suffering.

30 swords of light appeared around me. This took a massive amount of mana from me but I consider this deadly!

"Magic Sword Art: Countless Sword Barrage!"

I know it's a bit uncool, but I've always wanted to say this the moment I thought of this technique!

Everyone's attention was diverted to me due to the brightness emitted by the swords.

I stabbed Bane Of True Evil to the arid ground with both hands clasped on the grip.

At that moment according to my programming, the 30 swords flew towards Garek at an unstoppable speed that went even faster than I could sprint.

"Aaghhhh!"

Garek let out a howl of intense pain as the 30 swords planted and burrowed themselves on his face, neck, chest, legs and arms.

Death finally loomed closer to him and he fell lifelessly to the ground with his massive Kissaki-Moroha-Zukuri swords still clasped in his hands.

Before anyone reacts or make a careless move, Arlet approached the Dark General to check it's pulse.

"Everyone, he's dead!"

Arlet announced to the Adventurers present. Looking by their numbers, it's almost like noone died.

"That tough bastard..."

"We won!"

"Let's go drink later! The Guild Master's treat!"

The Guild Master who heard this, coldly glared at the adventurer who said that. But it stopped in a second followed by a sigh.

"Very well, I will treat everyone when we return to the guild building."

The crowd went noisy by his remark and everyone became excited to go home. Singing praises to the Guild Master's generosity.

"Good job, Seven-chan!" Said Percy.

"Well done, lass!" Said Durian.

My teammates Percy and Durian looked sweaty and bloody but the smiles on their faces showed they were still on top condition.

"Hey, the little miss over there!"

"Seven-chan, good work!"

"Nice finishing blow, man!"

"Job well done!"

Adventurers I didn't know came and congratulated me. There was that one male elf and two dwarves from the first time I registered as an adventurer.

"Thank you so much, it depleted my mana conservatives though."

"With that attack it's very understandable, you are very modest, Seven Clavery."

The male elf comforted me, although I admit he looked handsome, I'm wet spaghetti who lost her virginity to a girl just minutes ago.

"Ya tryin' to hit on a human, ya virgin elf?"

"Wh-What?! Surely not, you fat overweighted dwarf!"

"This be called muscle! Atleast I got fats!" Said the dwarf while thumping on his chubby stomach.

"That's just your tummy, musclehead!"

I left them to their own business and walked over to where Arlet and the Guild Master was. They were discussing something about informing the palace about the appearance of this Dark Orc General. And whether it's identity is valid or not.

"By the way, how many casualties did we receive?" Arlet asked a scholar looking adventurer who had a sword with him.

"9 casualties." He said with a sorrowful tone in his voice.

"Eh?"

I responded out of reflex. I had thought I revived everyone.

"What's wrong, Seven Clavery?" The Guild Master asked.

"A-Ah, no it's just that I noticed it was 10 casualties earlier."

"You are right, there was 10 casualties earlier but one of them suddenly went back to life." The Guild Master claimed.

"Speaking of which, I suddenly got revitalized during the battle earlier."

Arlet informed the three of us and everyone else who heard that closed in and said that they've experienced it too.

"How strange..."

The scholarly adventurer muttered.

The scholar looking adventurer pondered and just remained quiet afterwards, nothing came to his mind. But he had to be asked about what's on his mind by the other adventurers.

"I don't know, but all I can say is that it's something that's called a 'Deus Ex Machina' occurrence."

He doubtfully answered the intrigued adventurers with an uncertain assumption.

"Deus Ex Machina? What's that?"

"It's said to have happened several times in the past. It's what we call 'Divine Interference' from a deity or supreme being."

The scholarly adventurer explained.

"Ohh!"

I'm not a supreme being! That's too embarrassing!

Without realizing it, I was blushing out of embarrassment. Arlet saw this and gave me a gentle pat that had no idea I was the one who caused all those events.

"By the way, Seven. Have you seen Aria? I sent her earlier to check on you when you got knocked out."

"Owh, so that was you who sent her to me. I thought it was too much of a coincidence that you didn't come instead."

"Heh? Did you want me to do it with you instead?"

Arlet leered at me closely and sniffed my chest, her teasing made me blush harder for a different reason. She must be picking up the scent of Aria on me. Her amazing sense of smell is truly scary to the point she already knew what Aria and I did.

"Speak of the devil!"

Aria came here walking with her clothes worn. One seems to be resting on her head, the both of them waved at me and Arlet disappeared from my side to rush at Aria.

"Aria~ You shouldn't keep such secrets from me."

Aria looked puzzled and kept an innocent face.

"You could have asked me if I could join too."

Now she wasn't. Her face suddenly went a bright red.

"Wh-What do you mean?"

"Earlier, you and Seven did something naughty, didn't you? If possible I'd like to join in on your fun."

"Th-The three of us?"

"That's right!"

This time, Arlet was leering in on Aria.

"W-W-We knew each other for a long time, Arlet! We c-can't!"

Sheesh, these guys don't know how to keep it down. Atleast it's good that nobody is looking. The adventurers are busy asking about history to the scholar adventurer while the Guild Master was also listening silently to them.

When I turned my head after I spied on what the others were doing, I saw Arlet kissing Aria.

Eh?

I don't know why, but it got me turned on.

"...s-stop."

Said Aria who was gasping for breath. There was a trickle of saliva from her lips which undoubtedly means they french kissed.

Arlet smiled at me innocently after wiping her lips with her cloth.

"Arlet, you said you would do anything I wanted if I defeated Garek, right?"

"No? I said if you managed to cut his leg."

I pointed at Garek's left leg. Not only did I manage to impale the giant orc's tough skin, I was also able to cut it almost cleanly into two pieces.

"Hehe... So what would you like me to do?"

Arlet looked at me with a quiet smile. I had the same thoughts and just smiled back in a mischievous way. She seems to have taken the hint since she's a smart person.

"I'm in."

She agreed to my unsaid request. No later than 10 seconds after that, someone called us out.

"Yo gals." Percy raised his hand but didn't wave.

It was Percy and Durian supporting an unconscious Ledge on both sides.

"What happened to him?"

I asked the two. And surely enough they know since they're carrying him.

"He overused his mana."

"What?!"

Arlet and Aria screamed in chorus, I didn't because I don't know why I should. But it seems to be a bad thing.

"He's fine, he's just out cold. He'll probably wake up in the morning if we keep supplying him mana. I figured Arlet and Aria could help so I brought him here.

"Sheesh, what a reckless fool. He could have drained his own magic core and became unable to use magic his entire life, in the worst case, he could die."

Said Arlet worriedly while analyzing Ledge on the dry ground, touching his forehead, then transferring mana to his magic core. She closed her eyes to concentrate. Out of all of us, she apparently had the highest amount of mana here just below one of the adventurers and the Guild Master.

"...Good thing theres still a few drops of mana left. He could still use magic."

"This bastard..."

Arlet sighed in relief while the boys were on the verge of tears. Except Percy who was already crying and cursing Ledge for his recklessness.

"I heard from the others he was going everywhere to heal the injured. He still even pushed himself after our energy was fully recovered by the Deus Ex Machina."

Durian explained to us while showing an expression of great respect to Ledge. Aria just volunteered in helping Arlet repair Ledge's magic core.

Deep down, I'm so glad I restored everyone's energy. It turned the tides of battle.

Just as I was thinking to myself, I was disturbed by a voice.

"Seven Clavery, come with me for a bit. We need to talk in private."

The Guild Master called out to me and his presence was still surprisingly undetected with the exception of his aura. I don't know if he's just good at it or I'm really bad at detecting people, because as far as I know, I could detect most monsters in this world by feeling the vibration from the ground. It would be understandable if it's Arlet who specializes in espionage but even she doesn't erase her presence most of the time.

"Yes."

With that, we began to clear a distance from my team.

"Hey, Seven! Where are you going?!"

Percy shouted after noticing my disappearance.

"I'll be back, I just need to talk with the Guild Master!"

I followed him to a grove. His dignified figure leading the way, it looked like the trees were parting to make way every time he came through which I found cool. We've walked for more than 10 minutes, I didn't question him all that time.

"This should be enough."

The moment, the Guild Master turned around to face me. His aura completely changed and began to show itself as an exuding blue hue of energy.

It was monstrous...

my neck was seized and my feet were lifted off the ground in an instant.

It was rough and his grip was strong. But he gave enough gap for me to breath.

"Make any movements, I'll kill you. Make a single sound, I'll kill you. Use magic, I'll kill you. If you don't answer my questions honestly, I'll kill you."

His aura intensified, my heart beats were beginning to drop significantly, my mind was losing activity and my body was becoming numb.

What the hell does he want..?

"Use the sword technique you used earlier and tell me who you learned it from."

I had no choice but to comply immediately, he's far stronger than me. And if I drag this on any further, I might get killed by his aura alone.

"...It's a magic spell I created using a magic formula for the construction and compression of raw unconverted mana energy... Noone taught it to me... I made it myself..."

The Guild Master did not look at all convinced yet and his sharp glare was not friendly as well either.

"Did you happen to take it as reference from somewhere or someone?"

He interrogated me again, not taking his soul piercing eyes off me.

"I just thought it would be cool to have... swords made of magic beside me... because... I'm a magic swordsman....— ah!"

The Guild Master released his grip on me. No remorse seemed to be anywhere in his figure, but nor was the frightening aura which was a relief.

"I apologize for what I have done, Seven Clavery. This old man owes you an apology. Ask me any favor you would like in the future and I will do my best to aid."

He left on his own without even looking back if I was following or not. I wonder why he acted like that. But he almost killed me!

"Cough, Cough."

▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️

"...With this, the raid is a success. We will be going home at 8am, make sure not to leave anything important!"

It was now the dusk of dawn. Our battle last night took us 2 hours so we still had time to rest before we go back home. Some wanted to rest more but the Guild Master funnily suggested in leaving them here instead.

"Good morning, everyone."

Ledge was up awake. He woke up earlier than everyone, and as usual, I didn't sleep and just trained. I'm still training even now.

Good thing noone seems to mind me doing pull-ups with only clothing binded around my chest. I'm also refining my magic core so I needed skin exposure. There were some men and women who noticed this, but they looked away immediately out of guilt. And ofcourse I didn't take off my pants. That would be going from a regular exercise to a total pervert.

"Almost there... I'll get abs soon..."

"S-Seven? Aren't you going to rest? You've been doing that for 3 hours now."

"It's okay, I've already done 10,800 pulls, I'm going to stop at the 11,000th."

"Phew, thank goodness. Wait, 200 more?!"

I laughed at his reaction without stopping my work out. I really want abs!

"My holy slime, I can't even do 40 pull ups and you've already done almost a dozen thousands."

"Well, I am a swordsman and you're a magic caster."

He was flipping steak right now while talking to me. A bunch of adventurers greeted me good morning as they passed by.

"Haha, that makes sense. But aren't you getting tired?"

"Yeah, I sure am tired. But I'll stop when I reach 11,000."

Ofcourse I lied about me being tired. I just didn't want anyone to find out, and even if I did, it would be hard to explain about the game I played.

After everyone woke up, we ate Ledge's cooking of appreciation and waited for 8am with conversations about acquaintances.

8am finally came.

Everyone has already packed their stuff in our storage rings and gathered in one place. Hundreds of us with the exception of the 9 that died during battle. I felt horrible but I have to face it. Because I don't even know if I could revive them when they're buried.

"Let's go home, everyone!"

Arlet, as playful as ever. She shouted by using Aria's wind magic as a megaphone. Causing birds to get startled and fly away from us. But everyone would still respond one way or another to this guild's reliable and friendly informant.

"YEAH!"

I may regret losing comrades now and in the future, but I'm happy I'm part of these rowdy bunch of adventurers for now.
