Legend

The Rays were going down the street. After a few days of traveling, Elaine was able to make tea with advice from Tufal.

Even today, in the carriage, Elaine, who prepared tea for Ray, offers a cup of tea to Ray, who is generous on the couch.

"Ray, I've tried so hard for tea today, give it a try"

The squeaky but golden-haired face is stained thin and red because the word couple is past Elaine's brain, although for a moment rather than between lovers in this exchange?

Even for Elaine, of course, I have not forgotten that I am the nobleman's … it is also the daughter of one of the Dukes of Keller, the central figure of the aristocracy. I guess all of this will have to think more firmly about my relationship with Ray, but only now... sinks bitter thoughts into the bottom of my heart.

Most importantly, the Duke of Kelevel himself had raised his hands in favor of Elaine, his beloved daughter, sticking with Ray. Given Ray's strength, it was only natural for him to want to draw into the aristocracy.

If Ray had been a civilian with no ability whatsoever, he would never have been able to support his beloved daughter's love even as Duke of Kelevel. But unlike the world where Ray was, quality overshadows quantity in battle. That's why the presence of Ray was no more talent for the Duke of Kelevel in the sense that he could support his beloved daughter's love.

But Elaine herself hasn't been informed about it, so she has had days that are haunted by things like how to get her father to acknowledge her relationship with Ray.

"Tea or cookies as tea treats then..."

I tried to close the Monster Dictionary I was reading and take the tea treats out of Mystering, then...

"Lady, Lady Ray, it looks like some merchant squad is being chased by bandits in front of the street!

A two-fal in your podium calls out to the two people who were in the carriage.

Elaine acted fast when she heard the words.

Even though you say you are already out of the territory of the Duke of Kelp, it is still a position to say neighborhood, and it is also aristocratic nobility that governs the land. Even without it, I couldn't imitate abandoning someone who was being attacked by bandits because of Elaine's personality.

"Tufal, which way is that merchant fleeing?

"We're on our way."

"How many bandits?

"I was wondering if there were 20 of them. But they're all on horses."

"Okay. Get back to cover immediately. There would be no particular problem with that number of people. Ray, what are you gonna do?

"Of course I will. Bandits are good customers to me."

Ray replies with a grin on his mouth to Elaine, who asks as she quickly gives instructions to Tufal.

Because to Ray, a bandit was, in a sense, a duck.

The treasures the bandits are accumulating will basically belong to crusaded adventurers, and even for the surrounding residents, you won't have to worry about getting attacked by bandits.

Ray won't be bothered, but capturing bandits and selling them off as slaves will also make good money for ordinary adventurers.

Most importantly, that's only possible if you have the strength to crusade bandits in small numbers. Some bandits are armed like meadow wolves where Ray used to fight and now acts as a dusker's subordinate, or bandits with more than a hundred bandits are rare but never.

"Ha, not at all... No, if you're going to defeat the bandits here, as far as I'm concerned, I have no complaints."

I guess I got to halfway through Ray's thoughts. Elaine just smiles bitterly that she's a sigh of relief but can't help it, making sure she pulls out her own partner, the connecting sword, at any time to get ready for battle.

While I wonder if this area is something of a fallen weakness.

Ray was about to fall in love with Elaine for a moment with a ridiculous look on her face, but she immediately shook her head small and spoke outside the carriage.

"Seto, you go behind the carriage. If a bandit sees Seto, he can get away with it. So, as soon as we and the bandits are in battle, you go around behind the other side. It's a pinch."

"Grr!"

I'll take care of Ray's call! and a throat-beating ceto.

It's easy, but the meeting was completed when the pinching was carried out, at that time...

"Dear Elaine, Lady Ray, it's time to rub off with the carriage, so please prepare for the battle"

Two fals, who stopped the carriage beside the street, call out, while a merchant squad made of several carriages comes closer and closer.

I guess the rear carriage of the merchants has escorts on board. I'm desperately shooting arrows at the bandits, but the bandits aren't losing either. Reduce the distance from the carriage while preventing arrows with a simple shield made of wood.

Of course only bandits can protect them with a wooden shield, and horses cannot. In fact, several horses have received arrows and have fallen to the ground of the bandits on their backs.

Still, more than 10 horses had set their sights on the merchants as they ran.

"Apparently you're a bigger bandit than I thought."

Elaine nods equally as Ray squeaks watching a series of exchanges from inside the carriage.

"Considering that we can certainly prepare a few horses, the number of bandits is not all of them. Perhaps those on horses will stop the merchants from moving and infantry will catch up there from behind. I guess that's why that merchant squad is desperate to escape too"

The merchant carriage of Elaine and Ray, who are also being chased by bandits while they are having a pleasant conversation in a way, is fast approaching.

"Run, you bandit! If you guys stay there, you're gonna get caught up!

The man manipulating the leading carriage yells out loud.

While hearing that cry, Ray and Elaine, who were opening the door, were each small surprised with an unexpectedly impressed look.

Because if we just help ourselves, we don't bother to call out to people who rub off in the streets. No, some would judge him as someone dressed to push a bandit coming after him from behind Ning Lo. But the merchants came all the way out here without imitating it.

"Ray."

"Oh, I know"

Ray nods again at Elaine's words, who likes the act.

"Whoa! Bandits! Bandits! Run anyway!"

Again the Lord cries out loudly, but Ray cries back to such a man on the contrary.

"Leave the bandits to us! You guys keep running through this!

"There are many opponents!... Yep, damn it! We're not gonna make it! Look, run as soon as you're in danger!

The merchant carriage quickly approached me while I was talking, and I guess I decided that if the Rays moved the carriage from now on, they wouldn't get away with the bandits. He rubs off and leaves as he screams loudly as he walks through the side.

One, two and a carriage pass as they are, and eventually the rearmost carriage passes in front of the Rays.

He was a bandit approaching just behind the carriage, but when he saw the carriage stopping beside the street, he turned his gaze unexpectedly and at the same time stopped his eyes from the sheath of his hips to Elaine, who stood at any time to pull out the connecting sword.

The reaction was intense. It would have been clear which would be more profitable to hit, a merchant carriage with a large quantity of merchandise with the Rays, who would only have one carriage if it had been there. But Elaine's beauty easily overshadows the damage account of the bandits who saw it.

"Stop, stop. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Everything that follows in the voice of the man who was running at the head of the bandit also pulls the reins and stops the horse. Of course, the horse couldn't have stopped right away, and he finally succeeded in turning to the Rays after going about 10 meters.

By then all the bandits had already seen Elaine, and nothing else would go unnoticed because of her beauty and breathtaking.

... Yes. Even the figure of Seto, who was jumping up from behind the carriage and circling back.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I I rarely see a woman like this in the capital, do I? The horse with it also comes extremely elegant in Warhorse. It was a shame we let the merchant flee, but it's cheap considering we can get this woman and Warhorse."

A man who turns his gaze to Elaine with his beastly eyes. Elaine, who has been told by men more than once before, knows what that gaze means. Therefore, he frowned uncomfortably and opened his mouth.

"Unfortunately, I am not as drunk as dealing with bandits like you. If you're going to surrender so hard, you don't have to get hurt?

"Ha ha, don't be an idiot. Do you understand this difference in numbers? Besides, I still hate my people over here, don't I? That's why if your sister's gonna get caught so hard, you don't have to hurt her."

"Hehe, your head. Can you turn that bitch around for us, too?

To the leading man, another man calls out.

Listening to the conversation, with unpleasant thoughts, Elaine nevertheless understands that the man who came to speak to herself is the head of the bandit.

"Ray, don't let them get away with it."

"I know...... Yikes!

Elaine's words were hanging up. Ray throws a spear removed from the mistering only with one pre-emptive shot.

The spear released by the force of the outside flies sharply as it slashes and rips the air, causing the head of the man known as the head to explode.

"... Huh? Is that it?"

The man who had earlier asked us to turn Elaine was on the right side of his head, so areas such as flesh pieces, bone pieces, blood, and brains snap all over his face.

I stroked my face softly like I didn't understand what had happened, and when I saw that hand stained bright red, I almost accidentally raised my voice...

"Whoo!

At that moment, the jointed sword, pulled out by Elaine's hand, whips and slashes the man's neck with its blade.

What the man raised was a blood splash, not a scream. A man who accidentally tried to hold the wound to the blood blowing flashly up to the perimeter thanks to his throat slashed and torn, the next moment a tangential sword cut pierced his head to put out the lights of his life without hesitation.

"Ugh, wow, that's a monster!

Neither Ray nor Elaine noticed, but the man who just died was the deputy head of the bandit. Two of the top men died without question, so the remaining bandits fall into a state of confusion.

Two of them lightly killed the head and deputy head who are leading them. Do you have a decent fight and a winning eye?

Think like that, but instantly dismiss it in your head.

If you don't have a winner, you can run, but I don't think you'll let me get away with it as far as what's going on right now. Plus the intention that someone here will succeed him than the two heads and deputy heads are dead is also past the back of his brain.

And the biggest reason not to escape immediately was still Elaine's presence. Beauty that every bandit on this scene has never seen before in his or her life. I could never miss this many women.

I can tell you that it was a disaster that I was lost in the colorful incense and even less powerful than I felt Ray and Elaine's strength. If you're trying to escape on this occasion...

"Grrrrrr!"

Though Seto, who circled behind him, would never let him imitate that.

"Hih, hih! G., G., G., Griffon. Ah!

Among the bandits who turned to Seto's squeal, a man with the title of former adventurer and somewhat familiar with the existence of the monster screams.

Rank A Monster, also known as Reaper of the Great Sky. I knew the figure, even if I had never actually seen it.

And even for the other bandits who were around, I knew about the name Griffon.

It was true that Ray and Elaine's fighting power, which I saw earlier, is an out-of-digit skill for a bandit, but there is a perception that they are the same person. But Griffon isn't. For the first time in my life I see that figure with my own eyes, an unknown being.

Fear of its unknown existence dazzled Elaine's beauty and caused her to cross the last line of bandits who had managed to stay on this scene.

"To, to, to, run. Ooh!

When the voice of a former adventurer man who discovered Seto's identity as a griffon echoed around him, he tried to escape the horses on which each was riding as if he had signaled it...

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

The king's intimidation, which is also Seto's skill, causes the bandit to move… and above all, the horse to stop moving.

That being the case, the resistance of the men is already completely pointless, and the next thing you know, it's going to be the blade of the linked sword, or the death-sized bait that Ray took out of Mystering.

And one carriage comes from behind where only a few are left behind and the bandits are devastated.

"Hey, are you guys okay?!?

The man, who calls out in such a way as to fear, belonged to the miserable one while calling out to the Rays to flee earlier.
