Outside, the sun was starting to fall.

I saw the main entrance as I ran through the grounds.

The front gate door remains closed.

I don't see the Forest Man (elf).

I meditated my eyes, blocked extra information and sharpened my senses only.

But I don't feel the presence of Roofi.

(... roofie!

There is no response to the call.

How could you?

Maybe I'm being stunned?

- Lucy, hold on tight.

As they say, I found myself in Mars' body.

After glancing at me and confirming it.

He leaped towards the main entrance of the college, which was high enough to look up.

"Huh!?"

Is that some sort of physical enhancement magic?

Or did you exercise the magic of the wind?

With a leap high enough to make him think so, Mars gently jumped over the main gate.

The impact of the landing is scarcely present, and the foot on the ground moves after the forest man (elf).

"Do you know where Roofi is?

"... wait"

Sharpen your senses again.

(Roofy! Where! Where are you!?

I think strongly about my sister (Roofie).

And I call you strong, strong.

(Please.........!

Just now.

It's just for now!

You don't have to use this skill again!

If you can't help Roofie right now, there's no point in having this skill!

So...!

(... si...)

"-!? I heard you!!

In the woods.

It's still close.

"Mars, over there"

Point in the direction.

In the woods that haven't even made a passage.

Normally, it's unlikely to go in.

"Okay."

Mars went into the woods believing in my words, without any stray.

And then he walks through the depressed woods.

Little by little, little by little, the presence of roofies in me intensifies.

That's like my heart filling up a little bit.

Again, I called strongly.

(- Roofy!!

(... Lucy)

I heard you.

Now I heard it clearly.

Close.

Right there.

- There's a roofie!

Beyond the sickness.

In the woods, where the trees don't even pass.

In that place where branches flourish and even it is difficult to move.

He was restrained with both hands and feet in light magic and put to sleep on the ground.

Such a Lucy, the blonde-eyed forest man (and his wife) creepily distorted her mouth like it was about to rip and looked down on her.

"Roofy!"

"Lucy......"

You're safe.

He's alive.

I made it.

Reacts to my voice and the man turns around.

"... what are you, how did you get here?

I thought you glanced at me like a bore, and immediately those eyes caught Mars.

The eyes of the forester (elf) looking at the mares, unlike that directed at me, were somewhat illuminated by the colour of interest.

"The... human (human) there - sure... was it you, Mars? He said he defeated Rusty."

"You don't care about me."

"Huh? Because you beat Rusty."

The words of the forest man (elf) were interrupted.

I could see the forest man (the old man) rushing back, with the sound of treading on the scissors and the leaves falling to the ground.

――

In addition, he raised a voice that was not a voice and lagged behind.

Maybe the Foresters (elves) didn't see the Mars move.

There was no such thing as how he cared about such a man, and Mars lowered me and crouched in front of Roofy.

"Are you all right?

"... Mal... S"

"Roofy!"

I held Roofi's body up and held her full of strength.

Immediately unwitch (dispel) and release the bound limbs.

(... Lucy... sorry, sorry)

(I'm glad you're safe, I'm glad you're safe...!

The wounded body is drooling without strength.

But the warmth of Roofi's body came through well.

The heartbeat in his chest came through firmly.

(... Mars helped you?

(Yeah! That's right! Mars helped me!

(... it is.

Lucy's warm feelings, happy feelings, convey to me too)

There was someone who could reach out to us.

That was a strange feeling.

Pleasant, warm, gentle, full of all sorts of emotions.

I feel my heart fill up.

I've never felt this way before.

Stare at Mars.

He caressed our heads gently.

The flat hand was big, and warm.

"Wait a minute, please.

- 'Cause I'm gonna finish it right away. "

That's what I said, Mars got up.

"... is it okay if I resume my emotion?"

Soon, the man (elf) disappeared.

"While Temee Ra is relaxing and talking, this one is so ready to bust Temee Ra! Whoa!

When I looked around, I saw scrolls (scrolls) scattered around.

"Summon -"

As I echoed that voice, the scroll (scroll) burned. The universe drew a magic formation.

A fierce light is emitted from the magic formation from which demons (monsters) emerge.

There were demons (monsters) in the depressed woods.

It was all junior demons, but a dozen of them.

It is a multitude of demons.

"Come on, it's time for a good party"

There is no rush in Mars' eyes, even if he sees a group of demons coming at him.

Light was emitted from Mars's hand with the demonic stone in his hand, and a great black sword was held in his hand.

The sword shines so black that it can even be seen to be black in the dark woods.

"Right, a party?

Then... have fun. "

With that voice, Mars did something.

We couldn't catch it with our eyes, but we just found out we did something.

And.

……

The body of the surrounding demon was torn in two, and the demon's blood lit up in the darkness stained forest.

"Huh...?

It was the blonde blue-eyed forest man (elf) who raised his dumb voice.

The group of demons that were there vanished in an instant.

Maybe I didn't understand the situation.

"Not yet - don't die."

"Huh..."

It was Malus who warned lightly.

Shortly after that warning - the trees in the woods moved slowly.

No, the expression moved isn't accurate - you're right to say it's going down.

- Don! - Don!

Fierce ground sounds, trees falling down one after another.

"HI, HI, HI, HI, HI, HI, HI, HI!?"

And there was a pitifully tall scream.

The woods, which should have been difficult to even walk in, have turned into a stunning square.

"" Awesome... "

It was an admiration that leaked out of our mouths.

"Hii ok, i want, ida no oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I heard a scream and saw a woodman (elf) pinned to his feet by a single big tree that was cut down when we turned our eyes.

Towards the man (elf), Mars takes his steps, step by step, slowly.

"Ha, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

"What? It's fun party time, isn't it? Have more fun."

It was a cold voice, like a frozen spine.

Like the warm grin directed at us was a lie.

The voice, all emotions were exhausted.

"Is there a reason? Ahhh! Oh, my legs, thank you Bogu!!

"You just broke your leg and you're making a loud noise all the time."

"So help me, help me. Yes! I did, som, I'll do anything, I'll do anything. Ahhhhhhhh."

From our position, I don't see Marus' face.

But I'm sure there's no emotion engraved on that face.

"Do you want my help?

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

In those eyes looking down at a man, there must be no shard of mercy either.

"Hey, what did you guys do when Lucy and the others asked for help?

"It was awesome, it was awkward. Oh, come on, I'm gonna awkward, I'm gonna awkward, I'm gonna awkward!!!!

It's too pitiful to see tears and snot and cry out.

(Stand up, roofie?

(... yeah, let's go, Lucy)

We got up.

Walk in a worn out body.

Every time I took a step forward, my body ached.

But when I think he hurt me like that, I feel sorry for him.

I didn't want to show you how hard it was.

So I walked with a flat face.

"So you're going to be apologizing?

Point the Great Sword at the neck of the Forester (Elf).

That was like a blade on a beheading platform that would judge sinners.

I'm sure Mars will not forgive this Forester (Elf) no matter how much he apologizes.

"Stay put. Yes! What's with the glaze? If there's anything I can do..."

No ears to listen to.

Just merciless, the Great Sword swung up.

"Hii, hi, good, good!? No, don't, don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

And just before that blade of acquittal severed the neck of the forest man (elf) -.

- Mars, that's enough.

- He's not worth killing.

We told Mars.

From the back, hold him tight.

Malus' body is very warm.

It's not cold.

It's warm.

It's not like you don't have feelings.

"... okay?

The words were properly lit with emotions.

"If I were to kill you,"

"We'll do it ourselves"

There is no need for him to carry it.

Don't let him carry you for helping us.

Because I don't think it's light, even with a man's life like this.

"... well"

That's all I said, Mars drew his sword.

The blonde blue-eyed forest man (elf) was incontinent and faint.

"... Back?

"Yeah."

"I will."

The trees are cut down and look out over the woods with better views.

It seemed easier to go back to college than when I came.

"I won't give you my hand, but you can leave this guy alone, right?

"This is an accident, I can't help it"

"Well, it was an accident."

Somehow I just got crushed by a falling tree.

This was an accident.

It's nobody's fault.

Well, even if you leave it alone, you'll be helped by an instructor who's looking around.

With that in mind, when we try to move on to get back to college.

"I heard an awesome noise, so hurry up and come back, and you're in a great situation!"

I heard a prolonged voice that seemed comfortable.

A little girl in a black pointed hat runs toward me with a bum.

"Reflection Instructor"

"Ah, Mars, it's you! Why are you here?

Faster than I thought, the instructor rushed in.

Though it would be weirder not to care if it made all that loud noise.

(... this woodman (elf), you have strong bad luck)

(... yeah, I should have at least hurt you a little more)

We had such a conversation in our hearts, and we laughed bitterly.
