Years after that.
I worked crazy to death to keep up with the amount of training he was doing.
The people around me were pulling to my desperation, but Rand still kept working out to My Pace with his cool face.
I was anxious that the difference would just open, and I was still desperate to target Rand.
But I'm sure Rand didn't see me anymore. I think I was looking at it like a lot of other people.
In the meantime, one piece of news broke in.
"Hey, haven't you seen Rand's lately?"
"They're dealing with demons in the back of the woods."
"What?! You're still a child, right?! Are you okay..."
"Hey, whatever. It's that land."
Rand is in the woods......
And with demons...
"You started fighting...? Already!"
That information seemed to light something on me.
From then on, I increased my training time even more.
No one laughs at me anymore. In my generation, no, including adults, Rand was the only one stronger than me, and to the extent that it seemed so, I did everything I could.
And finally, I made up my mind to go into the woods.
"Let's go...... Land"
I'm in the woods too, fighting demons...
Intentionally stepping into the woods.
It only comes out like rabbits and other hunting bait even if it goes on for a while. Seemed to have lived somewhat apart from the demons.
Further back.
There should only be about as many adventurers around here stopping by the city anymore, but I still don't see Rand.
Gradually, even the beast path disappeared. You also need to cut your own way.
"Damn... it's hard to walk..."
Outside the first city.
I've looked into the demons that go out nearby, but it was the truth that I didn't know if I could handle them.
Regardless of the flat ground, when it came to fighting in a place like this, it was that time when such anxiety struck my head whether I could manage.

"Huh!?
I set up my sword in the bush where I heard things.
In the woods is their... demonic field.
Even if you take a lower goblin, you may even fall behind if you are in the woods. If this is a battlefield, and this is a battlefield, you will not lose a single battle with a weapon on it.
Not to mention if you get ambushed, you're in enough danger for your life.
But this time, there was no danger.
"Ugh... a rabbit"
I lowered my sword while freaking out made me look stupid.
On second thought, falling into a pinch here doesn't happen unless you poke it in a goblin's nest either.
"Okay. Let's get back on our minds."
Little by little.
Even Rand must not have advanced his forest offense in one day.
We'll catch up.
I don't know what kind of effort you're making right now, but I'm all for it!
I'm sure Rand would have believed that and stepped into the back of the woods to show me more views than I, I never thought I would.
