Tet and Makina go to the Great Library of the King's Landing to uncover the mystery of the ancient lewd spell "Gerwes".
He also made enough money at Baniranda's tavern and continued his journey with great enthusiasm.
No matter what barriers – even large monsters – attack the. They will not retreat until they have reclaimed their homeland.
Gah!"
In the middle of a dense forest of trees.
Tet dodges theclaws of a large black-haired bear with a single hor. Rolling backwards.
The red eyes filled with murderous intent and the black eyes of the knight meet.
But – perhaps because of his huge bod. His movements are slow and sluggish.
"Grua...!"
Okuma's arms are raised as he drools.
Aiming for that poin. He jumped into the pocket and slashed up from the lower level.
A red line carved into his hairy torso. Splattered fresh blood. But it is shallow.
Makina!
Yes!
But no problem.
From the bear's flan. He rolls in and moves out of range.
The attack that only ripped through the thin ski. And the fact that he fled as soon as he put one sword i. Were all to draw attention to himself (Tet).
The main attack is done by the "Princess" With her magic wand.
Poison electric shock!"
A purple flash gushed into Okuma's wound.
The demon screamed at the pai. Then immediately fell weakly to the ground and began to writhe in agony.
"Gggh...! Gogaaaaah...!"
"I know... The bitterness of poiso. But... I'm sorry. Sorr. This is also the order of the weak and the strong...!"
Tet raised his sword in a wide swin. And not to prolong the agonizing time unnecessarily – he put all his strength into it and slashed the demon's head off.
"Phew..."
'There are a lot of strong monsters in this fores. But I think I can handle it.
'Yea. I guess so. This is about as good as it gets if you're not careful."
I stared at the corpse of the demon that was disappearing as a particle of light. I looked around the dimly lit surroundings.
To reach the tavern from Well. And from there to King's Landin. Many take the well-maintained roads.
But that rout. Which bypasses vast forest. Was safe but would consume day. He said.
Makina and the other. Who had the money for the trip but spared no tim. Chose without hesitation to take the road that plunged straight through the forest.
But this forest is the territory of powerful demonic beast. And no one but skilled adventurers will go near it.
However. Makina and the other. Who already had the ability to be first-rate swordsmen and wizard. Were making their way forward without any difficulty.
"This is how you wield a sword against demon..... The swordsmanship taught in the knighthood is certainly effectiv. But you also need to be quick-witted and flexible in your thinkin..... I realize that there is such a thing as 'fighting for survival.'"
"...We'll have to revise the manual for the Order once we've restored Grande. Won't we?"
"O. N. N. No...! It's not that I'm trying to put a damper on the venerable Kingdom's style of gladiatorial comba. Or anything like that...!"
"I kno. I know. I'm showing my 'true colors' again~"
In a forest infested with ferocious demon. The two still proceeded along the beast pat. Surrounded by a friendly atmosphere.
＊＊＊＊＊
As you continue to walk through the fores. Fighting off the demons that attack you.
Ahea. I saw a human figure sitting on the ground.
Howeve. There's something wrong with her. He's not wearing any adventurer-style gea. And more importantl. He's screaming.
H. H. Hi...!
Around the ma. Several Black Dogs surrounded him.
Makina! Makina!
Yes! Frozen Blast!"
He releases his magic at about the same time that Tet runs ou. Calling his name.
It freezes the moisture in the atmosphere and sends it flying as a spear to the magical beasts.
"Gaw...!
Baubah!"
Unable to react to the thick icicles that suddenly flew i. Several demon dogs were skewered.
Not wanting to miss a scar. Tett ran across the unpaved road and cut down the Black Dog that had jumped on him – in passing.
From the upper and lower ja. To the tip of the tail. The demon dog that was cut in half fell to the ground with a thu. And the man screamed in horror even as he saw it.
O. O...!
Are you okay?
Makina also rushes over at a short run.
The demons understood their strength and followed their instincts to flee deeper into the forest.
Tet also puts his sword away and reaches ou. Helping the hunched man to his feet.
He seemed mild-mannere. Like an ordinary townsperson you could find anywhere.
Thank God you're here...! If you guys hadn't com. I'd be... Right now. Thank you so much...!"
What are you doing here? You don't look like an adventurer..."
Only armed adventurers would pass through this forest. But he was imbued with a gentleness that seemed incapable of killing even a small anima. Let alone a demon dog.
"... So. I've been looking for..."
"Son...!
His son was an eleven year old boy named 'Nero'.
In order to cheer up his sickly wife. Nero's mother. The boy has gone off on his own to pick mushrooms that grow wild in the forest.
For the next few day. Nero's father continued to search for his son. But it was difficult to find him in the vast and dangerous forest. And finally he was attacked by a demon.
That's where Tet and Makina saved the day.
"I've taught you many times in the past that the forest is the home of demons and not a place for normal humans to enter...!"
"...I'm sure you were very worried about your mother..."
"If that's why you let your father worry about yo. Then you've got the wrong end of the stick...
You can't blame her now for the actions of a child who has already gone missing.
Makina gripped her magic wand tightly and spoke to Nero's father.
"... Ner. We will find you...!"
"What the...?
The father looks up in astonishment.
But Makina looks at him squarely in the eyes with determination.
He didn't consult or agree with Te. Who was supposed to be his friend. But Tetteh though. 'That's all right.
You don't need to get the approval of your men (knights) to help those in need and the weak.
The actuality that she was the proud princess of the Grandel Kingdo. Tetteh once again felt proud of her 'Supreme Lord'.
Bu. But...!
'A rough map of the forest and where mushrooms might grow:.... Als. Nero's characteristics. If you tell me those thing. I'll be fine. We don't ask for any reward. We can fight well enough against demons...I'll bring Nero back for sure...!
Nero's father probably never expected a strange. An adventurer he had just me. To say such a thing to him. With tears in his eye. He bowed deeply to them.
Thank you...! Please find my son at...! Please find...!
It's not a quest from the guild or anything.
No reward.
The shortest route should have been chose. But the case is a complete 'detour' on the journey to the royal capital.
But Tetteh never complains. The knight's role and pride is to follow his lord's decision and fulfill his duty with all of his body and soul.
And so–
After receiving the map and information and looking off the back of the man who admonished them to take shelter out of the forest.
Makina gave Tet an 'Imperial Order' in a dignified voice.
"Kingsguard of the Order of Grunde. Tet Krom. I command you to go with me to search the forest...! You must bring Nero back to his father!"
"As you wis. My Lord (Master)...!"
Tet put his fist to his chest and responded in the manner of a loyal subject. Only now he was not an adventurer.
