One day, an unusual situation occurred where a tiger who had to live deep in the eastern forest appeared near the village of Bern.

Fortunately, Hatora was there and I was able to cope with the help of Serina and cope before the villages were damaged.

He brought the corpse of the tiger back to the village of Bern and talked to the village chief with the village chief and Barran about the situation at the time of encounter in the forest and why the tigers were there.

"Mayor, just watching the transition of the situation as it is may eventually become irreversible.

Before that happens, please give me permission to search the forest. This is clearly unusual given that the tiger is near the village. The village mayor knows that. ''

"Certainly, as you say, you can sit down and turn only when you get up, but you can't let the Lord go alone. Balan, leave you from your place. Do you know? "

"Oh, let me go a few people. In some cases, you may need to ask Galois for reinforcements or an investigation."

Mr. Balan's remark that he nodded heavily was genuine, but from my point of view, he was thankful because he could do a lot of things when nobody was present.

"No, I don't want Baluns to move on until they have some idea of what's going on.

Ballans are, unlike us, specialists in combat. You need to be prepared and ready for emergencies. ''

I don't have much time to talk like this, but when I think so, yes! Serina raised his hand cheerfully.

"Yes! Then I go to the forest with Doran-san. I have magical eyes and can use magic. I stopped the blade tiger today.

I think I can do most things with me and Dolan. ''

"Isn't she going to investigate with Doran? I haven't heard of Lamia in the forest of Ente, but if she is there, she doesn't have to worry about snakes.

And if there are two wizards, surely most things can be done ... "

Is it a push until the village chief is satisfied? In addition, when I tried to call, there was a candidate for a person that neither I nor the village chief expected.

Until now, Christina, who had been sitting silently on a chair, stared straight at the village mayor's face with her determined eyes and said that she would accompany us to the forest.

"Then the village chief, I'll accompany Dolan and Serina. I'm also into magic, and I can swing my sword more than the average person. I want you to allow me to go into the forest. Do you? "

The mayor, who was leaning affirmatively on me and Serina for the forest survey, responded differently to Christina when she said she was heading for the forest.

"I can't do that! If you have an emergency, I won't be able to turn to her. I'm grateful for your offer, but this is a problem in our village.

Please stay in the village without worrying about you. Never think of going to the forest of Ente. ''

"May I not allow the mayor, Christina to accompany me, but can I allow me and Serina to go to the forest. If I can't find anything, I'm going to the forest for three or four days, how about that"

"Umm, okay. Let's say you and your young lady leave the forest survey. You cherish your own life. To come back alive safely is the condition to allow the survey."

"Okay. I'm sure she'll be back with Serina without any injuries.

I replied, nodding, with a strong, confident voice to reassure the mayor.

*

Having obtained permission from the mayor in the presence of Barran, I and Selina returned to their homes and prepared, and the next day, before leaving the sun, they left the village to investigate the eastern forest of Ente. I decided to do it.

The curtains of darkness still spread in the sky, and the sight of a pale moon can be seen, but beyond the horizon is being dyed golden by the sun, and will it arrive in the forest by the time of day or not?

I walked down the street with greetings from the occasional villagers, and when I arrived at the north gate, I saw Serina in the same luggage as when I first met him, waiting for me.

I tried to raise my hand lightly to call out, but at the same time I realized that Selina had a little troubled face and why, and had to lower her raised hand.

In the clear air of the morning, which still contained fine particles of cold air, a beautiful woman who could be seen as a beautiful war maiden in the heavenly world was right beside Serina.

"Good morning, Doran. Good weather to go out. Don't you think so?"

Christina, wearing a black metal shin pad and gauntlet, and a breast pad and armor of the same composition as me.

"Good morning. I think it's good weather, but Christina wasn't warned by the mayor yesterday to go to the eastern forest."

"Oh yes, the village chief warned me, but I just happened to take a few days for a walk.

I used to go around the village and upstream of the river, but sometimes I found it better to go east. Just aim at the same place by chance with you and just walk.

Well, what's wrong, I'm not good at the geography around here, but I may make a mistake and get lost in the forest. ''

"I don't know if the village mayor will approve your statement. And, after all, we're going to get a few words. First, why did you decide to accompany the investigation?

I know from the attitude of the mayors that you have some kind of connection to Bern, but I don't think there's any reason to do anything to take the risk. ''

"I'm weak when told.

I don't have a direct connection with this village, but my kin is closely related to Bern.

I came to Berne village because he had been told about this village for some time and I was going to visit it someday.

And the people in this village seem to be in trouble. Fortunately, it was just a matter of helping me, so I just offered something of an edge and help.

There will certainly be danger. But I'm immature, but I'm confident in my sword, and if you have the skills you see in the forest, you'll never be so dangerous. ''

"Once I tell you, I feel like I'm going to like it, but what do you think of Serina?"

For me, I put Serina's index finger on my lips and thought for a while.

The tip of the tail was sloshing with the tilted neck, and I felt relaxed and relaxed in the eyes of Serina.

"Isn't it okay? I think we should get out of the forest as soon as we find it uncontrollable, and if Doran, me and Christina are fine, I'm sure."

I told Selina with a smile that I felt like my back had been pushed.

"I see. Then, just because they happened to be the same, Christina doesn't complain or stop wherever she goes. That's okay?"

"Oh, you guys you can talk to helped."

So we decided to leave the village of Bern with only three of us going to the forest of Ente.

*

From the village of Bern to the outermost edge of the forest of Ente, there has been a simple, wide road so far that two carriages pass each other by the outlying people.

However, it is an easy road where weeds have been removed and squeezed, so if it rains downpour, it will quickly become rough and collapse.

Ente no Mori is a large forested area with no human footprint that extends its green territory from the northeast to the east of the northern frontier and extends its roots to neighboring countries across national borders.

Stepping straight into the forest of Ente, our feet are covered with a variety of grasses, with greens, yellows, reds, and so on, and the brown ground can be found only as much as a cat's forehead.

In some places, the thickened tree roots are intertwined with each other to form a carpet, while in other places they are forming larger bumps than I have, making walking difficult.

We endlessly follow the footprints of my leather shoes and the crawling tracks of Selina on the ground, which is filled with grass and moss of various colours, which are thick enough to remain sharp.

The color of the forest, which was occasionally a dark green with red, blue, and yellow, began to increase as our feet progressed, with a more poisonous purple, black, and dark blue.

The change was beginning to extend not only to the colors but also to the trees. The trees that are supposed to stretch to the heavens twist in odd directions, and the bark that begins to rot starts to stand out.

Life and death have been mixed, and fertility has been lost from the fertile soil that has accumulated years and reincarnations, and it has changed to something that can not nurture life.

As I kept going, I felt the rancid blood and the smell of rotten flesh blew violently, reaching for my sword.

It was Christina who noticed the presence of Sole, and Serina, who had the perceptual ability as Lamia, was the last. Ummm, Serina-san, why don't you be more careful?

"It looks like I can meet a bad guy right away. Christina, Serina, are you ready?"

"It doesn't matter at all times, apparently it's not a move aimed at us."

"Someone is being chased."

As he sprinted with all his might, in the gaps between the towering trees, something flickering and brilliant was seen, and there were multiple shadows reminiscent of covering them.

From the face reminiscent of a lizard without eyes and nose to the tip of a leg, the large curved back is covered with solid gray-grained skin, with five sharp claws extending from the thin arms that have only bones.

"What are they?"

"It's a lower class soldier. The name is Selt. He should have the dwarf he looks like, the agility to match it, and the strength he doesn't.

Especially that little body is troublesome. It's better to fight with the same evil sword that Marrieda did with Christina during this time. ''

Demon soldiers are lifeless magical creatures created by evil gods and demons living in the demonic world.

Although he has no ego, he is usually planted with a cruel, aggressive, aggressive aggression against life and imitating cruelty.

The lower-class magical soldiers Zelt, who were quickly approaching us, noticed us and were turning here, turning their wicked rivals.

"Selina has magic and evil eye from that position!"

Serina, who was embarrassed by the magic soldiers she saw for the first time, shook her body in surprise at my words, suddenly braking the lower body of the snake crawling on the ground, replying me in a hurry tone .

"Yes, yes!"

The Zelts each kick the ground with our feet as their primary goal. The trick is to cut the enemy's feet and break the bloody enemy crawling down the ground into thousands of pieces of meat.

The Zelts cut the tree trunks with a five-finger blade, cut the ground, and glanced at me and Christina with the thin eyes of a slender face.

Looking back at the eyes of the black muddy Zelts, Christina accelerates explosively, using magic to strengthen her body.

Looking at his back, flipping silver hair, I aim at the three Zelts, ignoring us and heading back to Serina, to activate the magic.

"Listen to my voice, hear my voice, fire my enemies, energy bolt!"

An attack spell that produces the same pure magical arrow that Serina fired on her armored bear.

The magic that produces magic arrows by mixing the magic of the world with the magic of one's own. The number of magic arrows that can be generated at a time varies somewhat depending on the skill and magic of the caster.

Six green magic arrows are created around me as I finish the chant as I run, kicking the branches and turning two sharply pointed tips on each of the Zelts trying to pass above me.

When the magical arrows hit the lizard-faced face and the severely curved abdomen, the Zelts punched fist-sized holes, immediately telling the end of false life, and falling from the air to the ground. And disappeared as gray dust.

Five remaining bodies. Three of them were already slashed with Christina.

Against dwarf enemies who can't reach his waist, Christina has determined that it is more efficient to sword than swinging her sword based on her experience fighting with Marida, and puts piercing rather than slashing on the main axis Was fighting.

The other two are lined up vertically and approaching me straight, with a total of 20 claws full of murderous intent, spread left and right like a flying bird.

I also run towards the Zelts, holding the long sword with one right hand and spilling it down the lower right.

How come The moment this word crossed my thoughts, the speed of Zelt, which was running ahead, became slightly slower, and he became more forward leaning.

The second Zelt on the back steps on the back of the tilted Zelt, kicks vigorously and looks at me and accelerates.

Indeed, is it a strategy where people who were lined up before and after suddenly turn up and down and attack the emptiness? They imitate wisely.

"Smart"

I shrugged out a word, and forcibly protruded a right-handed long sword into Zelt, who was waving his nails to the left and right of my waist.

As passionate as a hug between lovers, but the one to give is the death and pain of Selt's claws, the moment they are pierced by my long skull, they cramp and lose their power, drooping without force.

And Zelt flying above my head. I spread the five fingers of my left hand, holding nothing, and squeezed and crushed the head of a demon soldier who had no upset as my brothers were defeated.

After seeing the two Zelts turn into a handful of dust, I turned to Christina and heard the chanting of Serina behind.

"Jalarm!"

The one-piece Zelt that had already been slaughtered from the top to the crotch and slaughtered, and the Zelt, who had been attacking from the back of Christina, who fell off the side of the Zelt's neck, was attacked by Serina's magic. The illusion is caught in the mandible.

The serpent's tusks are pushed deep into the neck of Selt, and the phantom serpent completely shreds the cervical vertebrae, and soon loses its magical power to maintain its existence and turns into dust.

After confirming Zelt's elimination, Christina, who put her sword in her sheath, looked back at Serina behind me.

"I'm sorry. I was saved."

"No, until I did something obvious, would Christina be able to cope without my help?"

What Serina says is true.

Christina was behind her while she was on her hip sheath and, without the help of Serina, would have pierced the sheath and smashed her throat or nose.

"It's just a matter of getting rid of the hassle, can't you tell us why you were being chased, a little lady?"

When I look into the shadow of Taiki, Christina and Serina imitate it, showing a terrifying sphere of light that had been chased by the Zelt from the shadow to the end.

The sphere that floats softly in the air, like a small lady, if you look closely, contained a girl, about a tenth of a human tall.

Because the girl was emitting light, it looked like a sphere of light.

The girl had long hair reminiscent of jade, wrapped in yellow ribbons on both sides of the head, and thin, light-transmitting, transparent butterfly wings extended from her back.

"Fairy? This is as cute as jumping out of a picture book.

"Wow, I saw a fairy for the first time. It's tiny and cute!"

Now you have to hear from a fairy girl who will know the clues of this forest.

The fairy girl, dressed in a petal-sewn design, seemed to be vigilant in front of humans who would not be in the forest.

He stops where he is close to us and asks us in a frightened voice, floating and fluffy.

"Thank you for helping me, are you human or Lamia?"

"Yes, I'm Doran. The woman with the silver hair and red eyes is Christina, and the girl in Lamia is Serina.

We came from the nearby village of Bern. The blade tiger and armor bear came out near the village, so I thought there was something in the forest. You are? "

"Ma, Marl. I was chased from before to that, and that was saved. Thank you. But yes, everyone in the forest near the human village ..."

"Oh, so we came to the forest to find out what happened to the forest, what was the cause of the incident? Marl, what time did you know when the magic soldier appeared? Can you tell us?

If we can help, we will help. We all have the same trouble in the forest. Yeah, Doran? "

"Well, that's exactly what Christina says. We'll help if we can help us.

"Um, um, it's very hard for all of them, so I'm very happy if you can help me, but if everyone involves humans, it will be annoying."

When I open my mouth, I don't need to worry, it's for ourselves, and Christina and I notice the surrounding signs, look up and look around.

Selina seemed to notice us two beats later.

As each glance from our hands pierces the gaze from the surroundings like an arrow, the sound of the branches and leaves sways, and the people around us begin to appear as one or two.

"I'm a Wood Elf clan."

"That's right."

I responded briefly to Christina's muttering. Surrounding us were beautiful men and women with blond green eyes and eyebrows, dressed in stalks and leaves of forest-grown plants and animal hair.
