Heibon na Watashi wa Tonikaku Hibon

One day - ♪ In the woods - ♪ I met Mr. Bear - ♪

A fun nursery rhyme is playing endlessly in my head right now. It was about one day after Lady Ray and Mr. Tonic began to live there for about half a month.

…………

A giant bear was stuck in front of me to describe me as a "bear" or something, not to mention a slightly uncomfortable body length of two meters.

No, he has such sharp and pointy fangs and nails that he wonders what it would be like to say "giant bear," a roar that also trembles with tons of covetousness and atmosphere dripping out of his blood-running eyes and huge mouth.

One day in the woods I met a demon.

……

One of the few fierce demons in this forest with many less ferocious demons. Because of the small number, demons as ferocious as the ones now in front of me in this forest tend to be strong all in all for some reason. I can't be fat enough right now.

I was just trying to get some water. Why am I in danger of my life right now?

I've encountered fierce demons like this several times since I started living in this forest, but I'm glad I didn't have to do anything because all of them were accompanied by someone more powerful than me.

But there's no one to protect me this time.

He gestures that the spirits are desperate to escape. I know. I know, but I can't move my legs.

"……………………"

The plundered voice does not reach to the secluded cabin. I just got it and there's no one in Soko right now...

Arf hasn't visited yet only on these days. Lady Ray and Mr. Tonic once returned to the royal castle to see how things were going at work, they had not yet returned as soon as they left in the morning.

Although neither the sword you are raising on your hips nor the bow and arrow in your back are ever ornaments, if you pull this out on the demon opponent in front of you, my life will be over at that moment.

"... Oops, put it on... think. Think, Rio... the art of survival..."

Distance yourself from Jiri Jiri and the bear demon little by little as you drag your foot off the ground like it's hardened. Bear demons, though roaring low, are not attacked. "Not yet," I think it's just a matter of time...

I took about five deep breaths and repeated my thoughts in order to calm down a little.

What Lady Ray taught me.

What Mr. Tonic taught me.

What Arf taught me.

It's okay. I can remember everything. It's my food.

Then you can do it. You don't have to defeat it. I just need to survive. You just have to run away.

"It's okay. I can do it. I can do it..."

Take three deep breaths and hold your breath for the fourth time.

"" Flash "!!"

He thrust his right hand toward the bear demon and chanted as he exhaled.

Moments later, the sphere of light that was creating in his right hand grows rapidly and is surrounded by dazzling light.

Protecting my eyes from the light with dark magic, I turned my back and ran out the moment I confirmed that the low, screaming bear demon meditated on my eyes.

If he still doesn't want to move, he wraps his wasted feet around wind magic, moves them against semi-enforced enemies, and runs a corner on a raven.

The goal is a cabin. There is a special tie over there between lay specifications that only allow things (whether people, demons, or demons) to enter.

It's a new magic created by Master Ray by arranging the use of "Magic Formation", and it's also being used by us as a practical experiment.

If you run off to the horn sock, the bear demon won't be able to come into the cabin. There is no need to worry about being broken by slightly softer attacks, as it is a junction where intrusion prevention and building enhancement magic are also applied.

Run, run, run!!!!

Horn the beast path with a leaking tree into it. Whether scratched and injured all over the branches or twisted his legs on a badly scaffolded road, he kept running to stay away from signs of "death" looming from behind.

"I saw it!!

A roar echoed from the back of the woods at that moment when my mind relaxed for a moment in the cabin I captured in my sight.

"Huh!!

"Trembling the atmosphere" is no easy thing. The ground, the grass, the air, even the trembling, shuddering, and fearful voice.

The twisted leg stopped the movement again. At the same time it works too slowly to say "reflex," but my neck looks back against my will.

".................. eh,"

Huh, my throat rang. My mouth opened and closed repeatedly a couple times for air that I couldn't inhale well and ended up being closed.

Bear demons coming this way as they crumble down the trees. A vibration of the rocking ground comes through every step he takes.

"Oh, go, go... move! Move!!

I took a step forward with the thought of doing it by scolding my trembling body with fear, when I heard the low roar of the beast behind me with a loud vibration at the time.

"... eh,"

You don't have to look behind you to find out. They chased me.

As soon as I understood it, my vision was distorted and tears overflowed. Not if you're crying, but you can't even stop because your body can't move.

It's over. It's over. In this place. Without fulfilling anything. Leave them with nothing to give back. It's over.

"" Get down! "

"Huh!?

My body moved faster than I thought in a suddenly sounding voice.

Bear demon sharp claws tear right above the bend.

"" Draw the knife "!! Flip your body and" Slash it "!!"

The body also reacts to the sounding voice.

Understanding that it was Mr. Tonic's "ability" - the "spirit of speech" - coincided with the bear demon being slashed off his leg taking a few steps back with a wild voice.

"The Spirit." The ability to make one confronted subject behave as the man of ability has spoken. However, words are limited to things within ten characters and only work up to three more times for one person.

In other words, after the use of the "Spirit" in the three operations of "Get Down," "Draw the Knife," and "Slash the Spirit," I can't expect assistance from Tonic in the future.

"Tonic, …"

"You're safe. You're a very unlucky man in many ways."

It was still Mr. Tonic who made me pull up my arm that was still suddenly self-defeated. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

He pretended not to notice the sword that trembled and sounded dressed badly with the catacotta, and he also laid his sword in line beside him.
