Mannen D-rank No Chuunen Boukensha, Yotta Ikioi De Densetsu No Ken Wo Hikkonuku

We were on our way to the fortified city while Chill slowed us down a little and sandwiched us with a few breaks along the way.

Though I run down the street, of course I encounter demons.

But for the most part, Luna put in an arrow before allowing him to approach.

It did not hinder me in any way, as I stopped my movements in the shadow of Krusche in case I was approached, or at the junction of Ceres even if I had launched a ranged attack.

"Gaw!"

…… Chill? What's up?

Suddenly I thought Chill roared to be alert to something, slowing it down.

"Something seems to be approaching from the front"

As the well-eyed Luna put it, I glanced all the way down the street and saw something that was still about the size of a bean grain but approached this way.

"Maybe a caravan or something?

"No...... apparently a horse. Looks like people are on it..."

To Aria's guess, Ceres shakes her head.

And she rose up from the platform,

"I feel like I'm in a lot of a hurry...?... Huh! I'm being chased by a group...?

◇ ◇ ◇

She called her name Lair.

It's a small town of about five hundred people at best, but I was born as the daughter of a lord who rules the town, and I just celebrated my fifteenth birthday the other day.

To the kind parents, a life that is never luxurious but nothing unfettered.

She herself has been a loving personality, liked and cherished by servants and townspeople.

Because of all that and her superior appearance, the man who would propose to her never stopped.

She felt happy when she saw the faces of her parents, who seemed to be very happy, even though she said she would have difficulty choosing her son-in-law because of it.

It was the alarm that resonated throughout the city that those days abruptly ended.

A group of beasts attacked the town.

They, who inhabit further north of the fortified city of Merrell, situated farther north than here, had a high physical ability far above humans.

Lightly over the fence that surrounded the town, they beat down one after another the soldiers in the town who tried to respond with their weapons in their hands.

Lair stood and caged in the mansion with his parents.

But they destroy the barricade at the entrance and allow the beasts to break in.

When I saw her, the beast man, who seemed to be a leader, said with a humble grin.

"Heh. You've got quite the upper balls."

Lair understood his fate after this.

But only such a girlfriend tried to protect her at all costs, and her parents, and servants, were desperate to respond.

Using a secret passage in that gap, she escaped the mansion by herself.

"Hermes!"

It was connected to a horse cabin, and when his father crossed the most adorable horse - Hermes - he fled straight out of town, being pulled behind his hair but unable to waste his parents' thoughts.

Three or four beasts were following her like that.

"Damn! Wait for me!

It just doesn't seem to rival a horse running on four legs, so to speak of a highly physically capable beast man.

The distance gradually opens up.

Besides, Hermes was a horse with fast legs and excellent endurance.

"Hihin '!"

"Huh!?

Suddenly, the hermes howled.

It burst out of nowhere.

Lair desperately grabs the reins and is shaken off.

"Hermes!? Hey, hey!

I managed to calm it down, but if you look closely, the front leg on the right moves strangely.

I stepped on a stone or something, and it might have damaged my hooves.

Still, Hermes kept running diligently to see if he understood the owner's situation.

But...... looking back, Rae bites his lips.

If you noticed, the beasts were approaching right around the corner.

"Hihaha! It's no use, lady!

"Let's do something fun with us. Huh?

I could even feel room for their voices coming from behind me.

Perhaps you understand that this horse hurt his leg.

It was only a matter of time before they chased me like this.

Understanding it, Lair pulled Hermes' reins.

I didn't think I should be forced to run any further and worsen my leg injury.

When you get off Hermes, say "thank you," and I'll let you get away with it.

He looked back several times to be pulled back at his hair, but Hermes drew Lair's will and left.

Soon the beasts will follow.

"Hehe, apparently you've given up"

"Hiu. This guy's got a lot of balls."

When it is no longer useless to resist, Lair decides to be prepared.

Still, the impudence of not being able to respond to the thoughts of my parents for letting me get away with my life, and the remorse of being made a comforter of those people from now on, came up from my chest.

"... Dear Vine... Please save this poor daughter..."

It was precisely then that I offered my prayers to the faithful goddess.

"Come on, then I'll have it quick - eh!?

One of the beasts approached Lair with his tongue nodded and suddenly stopped the movement.

It's as if it was in gold bondage.

"Or is it bodily...?

Another beast man is also rigid as if time had stopped.

It was the next moment.

They couldn't move. What aimed at them, arrows flew in one after another.

"" "Gahhhhhh!?
