    194. Flood (4)

    The relentless waves of demons were more bearable than I thought.

    For the first six hours after the monsters poured out, I and the thirteen explorers who had joined us from the store next door were frantically trying to hold off the waves of monsters.

    After six hours of fighting and wiping out all the monsters, no more monsters appeared.

    After checking, we confirmed that the monsters pour out in 8-hour cycles.

    Just like in a defense game.

    So after a day, we had a system in place.

    Our group, excluding Sia, and Juri are the main party.

    The 13 people who joined late were organized into a sub-party of ten combat personnel.

    Juri’s subordinates were divided into four groups of ten, including No. 2, her right-hand man.

    We last 8 hours from midnight, and the second time the sub party lasts 8 hours.

    And the third time, two groups of Juri’s subordinates take turns participating in the battle.

    The remaining two groups were organized as a shift system to give the main and sub parties some time to rest when they get tired.

    Among the people who came over from the building next door, three non-combatants worked with Roy, Tanya, and Carmella Mion to prepare food for the people to eat and help with various chores outside of combat.

    After holding out like that for three days, it was lunchtime on the fourth day. After switching with the sub party and having light sex with my girls, I couldn’t sleep, so I came down to the first floor for a bit.

    bang!!

    Kkieeeek!!

    “Follow me!!!!”

    “Fred!!”

    Kookung!!!

    “Die!!!”

    Kkueeeek!!!

    Outside, a sub-party was busy hunting monsters, and on the first floor, which was used as a lobby and restaurant, Juri’s men were waiting.

    “Huh…? Cain!”

    “Aren’t you sleeping?”

    Among Juri’s subordinates, there are two women who react particularly kindly to me.

    They looked like sisters, but they both had scars on their faces.

    He wasn’t ugly, but just had an ordinary, plain appearance.

    But the force was strong because of the scar on his face.

    “I can’t sleep.”

    As people joined our side and split up, our party naturally ended up taking charge of dealing with the monsters from midnight to 8 a.m.

    My sister looks at me like that with pity.

    “How effective are the traps?”

    “What Zion made is really amazing!”

    On the second day when the wave of monsters hit, after Zion took his place in battle, he chatted with Mila and placed several magic traps on the streets outside the barrier.

    Using Mila’s experience working in the artifact workshop, she created a form that could be used continuously by simply replacing the magic stone, as long as it was not completely destroyed.

    Unlike magic traps made with magic spells, this one was made from broken building materials found on the street, so we didn’t use any materials we had stockpiled separately.

    The magic stone, which is the core of the trap, is different from the labyrinth in that when a monster dies, its body disappears like smoke and only the magic stone remains on the roadside.

    It is said that the trap that Zion made by cutting down on sleep after seeing the sight and feeling it was a waste was more effective than expected.

    Thanks to this, from the third day onwards, I was able to quickly replace the magic stones in the traps before the monsters came rushing in and fight comfortably for an hour or two.

    “Oh my, there are still piles of these on the street. If we sell these, we’ll get rich, right?”

    “Foot..!”

    “Hehehe…”

    My sister laughs out loud at my insignificant words.

    The other subordinates, except for the sisters, kept giving them looks, but they paid no attention and spoke to me.

    “Anything special?”

    “Yes..! They do appear occasionally, but thanks to the traps, I can kill them easily.”

    “Hehehe… Mr. Cain, are you busy?”

    They both talk while twisting their bodies as if trying to get my attention.

    It’s not that they’re ugly, but my girls’ standards are just too high.

    And I just changed shifts and quickly sent all the girls away one by one, so I didn’t even feel like I was in the middle of a sage time.

    The other crew members’ eyes became sharper as they heard the sister’s words that seemed to be directed at them.

    One set of Sister Rice Bowls is enough, so I should go back and forth a bit.

    “I’m not busy. I just came out to get some air. Okay.”

    “Ah…”

    “Ugh…”

    Leaving the women behind who were feeling so sorry, I headed to the newly rearranged restaurant area on the first floor with tables pushed against the wall to have a cool drink.

    “Cain?”

    “Hey, Uncle Frank?”

    I saw Uncle Frank, who I thought was resting, having a beer.

    “A glass?”

    “Okay.”

    Uncle Frank went into the kitchen and brought out two cold beers, one for me and one for myself.

    “Side dish…”

    “Hey, I’ll just eat what’s there.”

    “Okay.”

    I saw the dried snack that the old man was eating and just picked it up and ate it while making a toast.

    “Is it worth it?”

    “Of course.”

    “…..”

    Well, I don’t really have anything to say.

    Since he’s a very reserved man and doesn’t joke around much, I don’t know what to say.

    The old man didn’t really have anything to say to me, so he just quietly drank his beer after that conversation.

    Boom-!!

    “Ugh… creak..!!”

    “Fred, you crazy bastard, don’t close your eyes!! Ah! Mr. Cain!!”

    “Yes.”

    “Are you sleeping, Mr. Sia?”

    “Just a moment.”

    One of the sub-party members who had been beating up the monsters rushed into the first floor, holding up a bloody man.

    Juri’s subordinates, who had been waiting while looking at the man who looked like he would stop breathing at any moment, laid him down and began administering emergency treatment.

    I quickly got up from my seat and ran to the second floor, shouting at the people.

    “Even a vitality potion is pouring into the wound!”

    “Ah.. Yes!!!”

    The reason Sia was excluded from battle. It was because of this situation.

    It is said to be easy because the monsters that are still swarming are still at the level of appearing on the first floor, but because there are so many of them, there are also cases where you accidentally get surrounded by the monsters that are swarming and suffer fatal injuries.

    I quickly went back to the room and woke Sia up by wiping her body covered in semen and fluids.

    “Siaya.”

    “Hmm….”

    “Someone got hurt.”

    “Ugh….!!”

    Sia, who was half-asleep, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard that someone was injured.

    Recently, as I’ve been interacting with my women, Sia, whose interpersonal relationships have become more harmonious, has become more sensitive to the fact that not only her colleagues but also other people have been hurt.

    Soon, Sia quickly put on a T-shirt and a long cloak with a hood to cover her body, and then she came down to the first floor with me helping her.

    “Ah…! Sia is here!!”

    “Coolook..!”

    A bloody man lying on the first floor. He was on the verge of death when he first entered the dorm, but he was still breathing, perhaps because Zion’s special vitality potion had been poured all over his body.

    “Ah…don’t get sick. Get well!!!”

    Sia was shocked to see the man in such a serious condition and immediately used her healing power.

    Woofwoof-!!! Pfft!!!

    The amount of light emitted was different than usual.

    As the light surrounding the man’s body disappears, his wounds and even his blood stains disappear, and his body becomes clean.

    “Huh?”

    “Oh my god….”

    Everyone’s eyes widened when they saw that the injured man, his colleague who had been supporting him, Julie’s subordinates who had been helping with first aid, and even Uncle Frank had all been completely healed by Sia’s protection.

    “Thank you, Sia!!”

    “Hehe…yeah..”

    Even after expressing my gratitude, Sia seemed to still feel a little uncomfortable talking to a man and hid behind me.

    The men who were looking at her nodded and stood up from their seats.

    “Then that’s it for us.”

    Before giving Sia the role of healing people, I had gathered Juri’s subordinates and people who had come over from other quarters and told them in advance that Sia was afraid of men and felt a little uncomfortable around men other than her colleagues or men she had seen for a long time.

    That’s why the men quickly leave the dorm so as not to burden Sia.

    “Siaya.”

    “Huh?”

    “The recovery just now was a little different. How did you do it?”

    “Um….”

    Sia rolled her eyes and hesitated for a moment at my question.

    “Divine power. It’s the power that the saint uses.”

    “Um… Well, in the past, other priests also used it, but it’s also a power that the saint uses, right?”

    “The saint heals and saves all the sick people…”

    Sia strikes a prayer pose with her hands clasped together, like a nun.

    “So I wanted to use the healing protection and divine power at the same time, so that’s how it turned out!”

    Oh my gosh, that’s amazing.

    At first, I tried to tell Sia, who had misunderstood the divine power protection that I had confirmed as an offensive protection, but she realized it herself.

    “What the hell? Sia. You were like a real saint just now.”

    “Really? Hehehe!”

    When the three of us played role-playing as children, Sia always wanted to be a saint or a princess, so I remember her playing along with Claude. Sia was also a very ordinary girl.

    Anyway, when I complimented her by saying she was like a saint, her expression softened and she snuggled into my arms.

    “I’m sleepy…”

    “Should I go to sleep more?”

    “Yeah…”

    Sia, who was called out while sleeping, nods off and lowers her head.

    I apologized to Uncle Frank for waking up first.

    “Sir, I’ll wake up first.”

    “Yeah. Sia had a hard time too.”

    “Yeah….”

    I heard Uncle Frank tell Sia with a pleased expression that she had worked hard, and I took Sia up to the second floor.

    From that day on, people started jokingly calling Sia a saint.

    Sia didn’t seem to mind, just laughed like an idiot and didn’t really try to stop the people.
