Today's Zoltan is quite warm.
During this time, it feels just like winter, but it's cheerful like spring.
"Oh, clover flowers are blooming."
Looking at the little white flowers blooming on the roadside, I felt nostalgic.
Did you make a wreath for Luti when you were young?
Let's make it again.
It's good to go camping next time.
It's not a camp for adventure, but a camp just for fun.
Have a barbecue in the field, talk around the bonfire for unrelenting talks, play with alchemy fireworks, and lie down on the meadow at night to look up at the starry sky.
Why don't you invite me after this one?
While thinking about such things, I leave the usual way and proceed to the forest that remains in the town.
He put his hand on the handle of the copper sword attached to his waist and checked its feel.
Even though it is a small forest, it goes quiet enough to forget that this is inside the low walls of Zoltan.
I put the medicine box on my shoulder on the ground.
"Huh, are we all right here?"
I didn't hide the annoyance and said it in a barbed tone.
In my words, a high elf woman with an eyepatch emerges from behind a tree.
Gauntlets with beautiful glow of green steel in both hands. A long sword in a gilded white sheath that looks expensive on the waist.
The gray cloak covering the navigator's clothes was made by a high elf.
Her body is made of green steel, and she wears an elf-knitted chain shirt that has a reputation for no sound when moving.
Everything is magical. In Zoltan, even generals do not have such luxurious equipment.
"Everything follows me. I'm just a drugstore."
"Do you notice my sign that a pharmacy just turns off and keeps track of it, so you're trying to settle in the forest alone?"
"In the habit that showed me a chance to notice"
The high elf hits me sharply at my words.
"Did you see that far?"
I felt the intimidation peculiar to a skilled warrior with a mix of vigilance and fighting spirit.
"Thank you, good two, why are there such a hero in such a shabby country?"
"Is you Lilin Lara?"
"Now"
There wouldn't be any other warrior in the high elf with eyepatch enough to make me feel intimidating. However, Lilin Lara is slightly distorted and blurred.
I thought it was unlikely that Lilinrara would come out, but that would come out alone.
You're so confident in your ability, and you know that hitting the strongest strengths sometimes minimizes damage. It is a bold action unique to Lirin Lara, a long-time pirate and general who heads the Royal Navy of Veronia.
"And who are you?"
I shrug my shoulder and answer Lilinrara's sharp words.
"Red at the drugstore. It's a harmless civilian."
"Are there ordinary people like you?"
"There will be no conditions to become an ordinary person"
We beat the gap one step at a time, tapping lightly.
The wind breeze, and the trees whispered as if they were whispering their expectations.
"And what's for me?"
"Discard your weapon and drop it. I'll come with me, and I won't take my life."
"I don't trust the guarantee of life from pirates."
"I'm not a pirate."
Lilinrara stopped her feet.
"Do you really want to surrender?"
"Because my brother is bothering my sister, it's cool
There is a deep killing between us. But I put my hand on the handle of the sword and took a step without hesitation.
A view and white gale ran.
The long sword of Lirin Lara, which was released without even the sound of the sheath running, was blinking down from my head with a silver blade shining without blinking.
I passed on to the right side of the opponent.
As I turn around, I pull my sword into Lilin Lara's back and slash, but Lilin Lara also looks back at the same timing and swings the sword to the side.
There was a sound of a collision between metal and metal.
Seeing a magical pattern appearing on Lirinrara's blade, I jumped reflexively.
"received!"
Lilinrara's face is proud.
The wind spilling out of the blade served as a blade and hit me.
Is that a magic sword that slashes with the blade of the wind and slashes the opponent who has dodged the blade?
I immediately throw my back half cape.
The wind blade tore my half-cloak into shreds, but the torn wind of the wind blade diminished its power by severing a sturdy fabric.
"I liked this."
Half-cloaks that fall to the ground are no longer useful.
In addition, the blade of the copper sword in his right hand had countless spills and small cracks.
Did you not parry? It is dangerous to receive that sword any more.
Lilinrara smiles at her mouth after seeing me.
"It's a great arm. I don't know what kind of 'Blessing' you're in, but you don't use any skill or magic, and you don't feel any outstanding skills. There is no such thing ... but there seems to be an insignificant difference in equipment performance "
"It's a high elf magic item."
It seems worth about one thousand copper swords. No more?
The difference in equipment is obvious. Besides, Lilinrara is a renowned pirate, whose swordplay is much more than I expected ... the leader who taught me the sword.
In other words, it is stronger than me when I left the royal city.
"Well, I could have left my sisters without fighting, and I had the option of escaping to the guards' place."
I held my sword in my right hand and pulled my left foot lightly.
"I didn't want to be active, I wanted you to be praised, or I hated you for threatening Zoltan's peace."
Rooty and Tise would have been easier to beat.
As a mere drugstore, there isn't much reason to fight this way.
"But, I guess ... I can't help pressing my sister to do the trouble that I can solve."
"What is it?"
I switch consciousness into a fight.
Seeing my air changed, her expression changed.
"I don't think you're stronger than that B rank."
"I don't know. They're stronger than me."
"You can easily catch your subordinates."
I ask for an opportunity while shaking the sword's tip.
Lirinrara approached slowly, holding her guard in the lower berth.
At that time, Lilinrara's foot stepped on the tree root. Lilinrara's gaze drops momentarily to her feet.
"That !!"
I hold my breath, put my strength on my feet, and close the gap with a little.
Lilinrara's sword jumps up and tries to defend.
"What!?"
Lilinrara's movement is slower than before. Lilinrara's expression has no room, and her gaze is directed at her gauntlet.
"Stupid, in a while!"
A large wound running on the left gauntlet.
In the first meeting, I was jumping and scratching the gauntlet.
The gauntlet has halved its effect by disturbing the delicate elf's magic, probably not a magic item with a simple effect like physical enhancement.
And the lack of the movements that they thought they could do left a big gap in Lilinrara.
Lirin Lara barely defends my sword.
Just before both swords touched, I returned my wrist.
The sword slips through Lilinrara's defenses like a snake and digs into her shoulder.
Lirin Lara holds off her pain and flashes with a sword. When my sword slipped out of my shoulder, blood overflowed.
"Kuh ..."
Deep scar on right shoulder.
With the blood flowing to his right arm, Lirin Lara should lose his strength.
"Do you still want to do it?"
"It's a difficult country. At least three people are stronger than me?"
If you have healing spells or skills, or even try a cure potion, I can't miss that opportunity. In the present time, if you show each other a chance, you can make a blow to your opponent immediately.
If you continue to struggle as it is, Lirin Lara will fall down with bleeding, but if you attack but do not hurt your dominant arm, you will not be able to win.
I'm in a dominant situation ... there's still room in Lilinrara's eyes.
"That's it."
At that time, another man's voice was heard. Lilinrara's face was convinced of victory.
The man who appears is also a high elf, holding a cutlass in his right hand and holding his tears in his left hand, holding the trembling girl's mouth.
That child is a resident of the downtown area.
"It's a pirate, not a hostage."
"The general uses dirty hands. If he doesn't win, there's no point. Discard weapons."
"If you don't like it"
"Kill the child"
That child's name is Maria Bell. There must have been about three women with the same name in the downtown area.
It's a cute girl who greets you if you pass each other, but that's the only point of contact with me. It is a delicate relationship even if you can say that you are an acquaintance.
"Are you kidnapped at affordable children?"
"But will it work?"
Lirin Lara said, holding down the wound.
"Yes."
With that said, I threw my sword like a throw.
"Oh, you!"
The sword flies in a large arc toward the high elf, which is piercing the cutlass to Maria Bell.
Of course, a copper sword that falls just by gravity would be easy to knock down with a cutlass and would not move or shuffle in three steps. Even if it hits, a slick copper sword will not hurt much.
However, few people can ignore the blades that fly slowly towards themselves.
The gaze of the high elf is sucked into my sword flying in the air.
"Leg like a lightning"
In a blink of an eye, I run beside the high elf, running around the back of a tree.
"eh?"
A moment earlier than the High Elves responded, my fist pierced the high elf's neat face, and the High Elves swayed and fell.
Grabbing my copper sword that flew as it is, I lifted my sword to the surprising Lirin Lara and jumped.
Unlike the high elf who could not respond, Lilinrara immediately defended. However, if the injured right arm does not move well, the movement is slow compared to the reaction speed.
"Guu !?"
My sword plays the imperfect Lirin Lara defense.
Flash into the empty body.
Lilin Lara, who had torn down the elf's chain shirt and succumbed, had run out of the tough life of the high elf and collapsed from her knees.
"Foo"
After confirming that Lilinrara can't stand up, I put in my sword.
He wiped his sweat off his forehead and exhaled slowly.
I don't think he's dead, but ... Lilin Lara's actions came to his head and his steps went a little deeper. A slightly shallower attack was sufficient, as he had won when he injured Lilinrara's magical tool and one arm.
I'm angry if the leader is here. Well, it's unavoidable that it's over.
"Do you want Newman to wait a little longer?"
Just give them first aid and hand them over to Rooty.
Don't deliver the medicine later.
"U, u, Red ..."
Before this, is this child first?
I pomp on the girl's shoulder and laugh at me to reassure him.
"It's okay, all the scared people have beaten. I did my best."
"Wow!"
He was kidnapped by strangers and was scared of being taken hostage for no apparent reason.
The girl cried on my waist and shed tears of relief.
