It Seems like My Body Is Completely Invincible

"Dj... Giant Snake..."

I shrugged as Magilka shook her voice when I saw the monster that showed up.

"Giant Snake"

If you call it a big snake, that's it, but its size is the problem. Even the guy in front of me is a giant about 20 meters long. In addition, two thick, long fangs are visible from a large mouth like a tear on the side.

The breathing sounds of the snake-specific Shrub Shrub are slightly deafening, and Zowazova is still running chills on my back.

"Ugh..."

I could see Zach getting up with a groan slammed by a tree, but I can't even afford to be happy with it. Looks like Magilka could have moved reflexively or rushed towards Zach.

Once I watched it, the monster looks at me and Tütte again.

Those eyes, which look delicious, have insect specific slices, and their pupils are narrowed like vertical lines.

I couldn't move a thing with that look in my eyes. The reason is simple.

"Terror"

That's all.

Unlike the shock of "fear" directed at Tütte before, I was now "afraid" of monsters.

It would be extremely obvious.

I was born in a peaceful Japan and ended that life completely without any connection to danger, even in this world, protected by my parents and my servants, and grew up with no freedom whatsoever, and the thing was so remote to me that I was in danger of life, of something attacking me.

That is now brought about by the giant creatures that have appeared before us.

For the first time I've ever known "fear", my legs shudder, my hands tremble, and a cold sweat spills from all over my body.

(My body is utterly invincible, so I wouldn't be killed by a snake like that...)

I know, you know, but consciousness doesn't acknowledge it. Unfortunately, I had been crushed by fear by then.

Then there was someone standing between me and the monster.

"Dear Rayforce..."

I open my trembling lips and whisper so little that I can barely hear them I squeal the names of those who stand before me.

He also stood before me and tried to protect me, even though he was so frightened that he could not act to escape the scene.

"Your Highness! Please run away!

When Magilka, who is supporting Zach and restoring only one calm, controlled the prince's actions and shouted to flee, the head of the snake burst against us skinningly through it.

(No, we have to protect the prince!

But I didn't have the courage to move my body. If I were a wall, that would do it. I can't give orders to run my body forward.

I can cry...

How weak and pitiful my will was...

Goh!

When the big, open mouth pressed to swallow us, a strong impact ran from side to side, snakes blowing from body to body, side.

"Huh... you have one hair at a time"

Standing before us is a strong, middle-aged knight wearing knight armor and a knife wound to his face.

"Sir Klaus!

"Chi... chi... yeah"

Sir Klaus, standing between Magilka and Zach joining us and the snake to protect the five of us, slaps out the sword he smashed as he lays it on the pattern.

"I talked to the maids and wondered if... this idiot son of a bitch. I'll preach later, so be prepared."

"Su... excuse me..."

Does his back still hurt, Zach apologized to Sir Klaus as he looked painful.

"Master Klaus... Mr. Zach didn't know... so"

(It's my fault, it's because I didn't talk fast... and I'm the one who got in here)

From the sweet reassurance that Sir Klaus had come, I was managing to regain my calm until I uttered my voice. And the next visit was a sense of regret and sin that followed fear.

The pressure that crushes that heart is so much as remembering the illusion that it's really gripping my heart that I unknowingly grasp my chest to create a look of anguish.

"Zach! Get the princes and ladies out of here! Miss Magilka is in the village. Bring my knight here."

"Yes."

"I understand."

Whether this was a difference in experience or a difference in readiness, Zach and Magilka, who were supposed to be the same as me, listened to Sir Klaus' instructions and knew exactly what they were going to do.

At the time I am reduced to fear and excluded as a force of war by Sir Klaus.

I'm probably supposed to have the most power in this, but I was more relieved of being excluded than I felt sorry for myself for not expecting anything.

"I'll take care of this place, go! Prince, please."

When Sir Klaus tells him so, he waves his sword toward the serpent, and where the serpent has lowered, Magilka supports Zach, who still seems to suffer, and rushes out into the woods.

That was followed in turn by the Prince, me and Tütte.

(Now I can escape this fear)

When I think that, my body sounds something like an alarm to my consciousness as a zowa.

I stopped to my feet, shook the hand of the prince who was running in front of me, and made him stop.

Dwwwww!

Zach and Magilka running ahead, and Marutai falling like a partition between the prince and us.

No, it's not Marutai. This is a tail. He was swung down from the bush towards the prince whose tail ran.

The cheat and the sole crawling out of the bush were a little smaller than the serpent we met earlier but still had 15 meters. Yes, the monster wasn't alone.

"Your Highness!"

"Go, both of you! As Sir Klaus told me, knights! Hurry up!"

The Prince controls and orders the Magirca and the others who tried to stop their legs and return this way. A new serpent has packed up to chase us behind the lines of Jiriziri.

The target was clearly like us. The two who understand it rush out with bitter faces, to the village for help...

Sir Klaus, who notices a new ambush, rushes to us and frames himself confronting the two monsters.

No matter how much Sir Klaus, dealing with two monsters while protecting his three children was bad minutes. No, you can't have a bad minute, it was a confirmed defeat.

Most monsters outperform the basic abilities of our race. It was armed, technical and magical to make up for it, but it's still one-on-one, or if this one wins in numbers. In this case, we don't want a number.

As Girizilli and Sir Klaus begin to be pressured, we retreat into the woods and lose our escape.

I had been utterly crushed by the renewed fear I had visited the moment I was distracted, and that fear had turned into despair.

(Scary... scary... disgusting...)

Too much fear brings me to nausea.

A prince standing forward to protect me and Tütte, who has completely atrophied, comes into my sight.

To the prince who looks at this one. Turning my eyes moistened with fear, he gave me a gentle grin that did not look familiar in this situation.

"It's okay... I'll protect you."

When I heard the words, my mind was more of a tightening thought than a relief.

(pity... pity... pity...)

I'm supposed to be the most intact, but I'm supposed to be able to defeat these monsters, and that I'm protected by everyone now.

Power for what, training for what, what a child I've ever remembered.

It has now come to my attention that the thing I need to wear is something different than "technology," something that I needed the most.

(... courage...)

That's when I recall what Sir Klaus said I heard during my workout.

――――――――――

"Is it still a lot of experience and skill that can exert one's power in times of need?

It was when I asked Sir Klaus somewhat about my own problems, which were weak in production.

"The lady thinks a lot harder, so much so that she wants Zach to drink even the dirt on her fingernails."

Hahahaha Sir Klaus spilling a bitter laugh.

"Well, but I think I need more than experience and technology in times of need."

"All right, all right."

"It's moonlight, but I still think the difference between what people can and can't do is the courage to move forward."

"Courage to move forward..."

"Yes, in times of need, people simply divide into three actions. Those who try to do it with courage, those who stray and stand there, those who retreat without courage. Experience and skill or not, it doesn't make sense if you move on first and don't do it"

"... courage... but with that experience and skill, that leads to confidence and courage?

"That's a posterior, if you don't act first, you won't gain experience or skill. I think so."

――――――――――

"Moving forward... courage..."

"Lady?"

Sir Klaus reacts to my whining.

"Master Klaus... if one monster... can we break the status quo...?

Not knowing the intent of my inquiry, Sir Klaus turned his gaze here for just a moment.

"Yes, one can manage to restrain while joining the others..."

I made up my mind for that answer.

(God... have courage with me...)

"... Lady Rayforth, please"

When Sir Klaus and the Prince looked back at this one, I ran out of the dah, away from the two of them, and further into the back of the woods.

"" Become!

One of the monsters moves toward me, forming between them and me, so as to overlap the two stunned voices.

"Mary, Tütte! Oh, my God!

He raised his voice so loud that the prince did not resemble its gentle face. But Sir Klaus creases my thoughts and gives me a bitterly distorted look. When it came to me, there was also a surprise that the prince had summoned me, but more than that, it was the other name that surprised me. When I look behind myself in a hurry, I have one maid who has trembled but followed me firmly.

"Tütte! Why?"

"I won't let your daughter... be alone..."

To her actions, who looked blue but couldn't help laughing, I was feeling that the courage that was so small somehow grew, along with the thought of being able to tighten my chest.

"Please go!

I'm ready. I'll tell you that in squeezing words.

(But now, the prince can step back out of the woods. The other one goes against with me...)

"... sorry!

Likewise, Sir Klaus, ready, with his prince, tried to move.

"No, no, no! I can't believe I'm the only one who can help!

"Your Highness is not like us, please understand!

A held prince rumbles and tries to escape Sir Klaus' arms, but he can't seem to beat his, and he can't shake it.

"Same! Me and her are the same people of the kingdom of Ardia! There's no difference!

I'm listening to the word. The question is solved.

(Oh well... the kindness with which the prince treats us normally and forgives all kinds of ramblings must have been there...)

Everywhere sweet prince, in the beginning words and deeds were alle, but I guess the backbone is a gentle, non-discriminatory boy. Then, if you don't protect it, for this kind prince to be king...

I was dominated at this time by a certain sense of purpose that I didn't even know I had. I didn't know if that was the act or what I was taught to devote to the royal family as a Duke's maid...

And I tell him.

"It is not the same, Your Highness... before you are a people, you are a royal one who leads its people, beware..."

(This too, to let the prince escape… everything is my responsibility to invite...)

I tried to smile resolutely as a duke's warrant, but I am aware that fear and all sorts of other emotions would have made me smile sadly. I don't know what the prince felt when he saw it, but he stopped rambling so he could sneer.

Then we turned our heels back and went further back into the woods, away from the two of us.
