With the girl's knife in her eyes, Rio twists her body loosely.

But as the girl's arm twirled like a snake, a sharp knife pierced Rio's stomach from a gap in light armor.

"Eh."

Gusari, and Rio accidentally smile at the feeling of the blade coming into his body.

Slightly poking the girl, the knife fell out of Rio's stomach with the girl, and green clothes seeped with blood.

Make sure the girl leaves and take backsteps to keep her distance so she can cope with the girl's behavior.

Being thrust broke the girl's attitude and the hood she was hiding her face off revealed its appearance.

Rio rounds his eyes when he sees a fox's ear growing on the girl's head.

(Beast man! Huh?)

While he was surprised by the first Beastman tribe he had seen, Rio felt a fever-like tiredness run into his abdomen, apart from the pain of being stabbed.

(Is this... poison)

I soon realize the knife was poisoned.

Apparently, it's a fast-acting poison.

Put your hands on the affected area and begin detoxification and treatment by spiritual surgery before the poison turns all over your body.

The girl stepped forward and ran out of momentum as she waited for Rio to fall and become unable to move, but on the contrary was surprised to see Rio's complexion improve.

(Fast!)

Rio is stunned by the girl's running speed.

The girl's speed is the fastest Rio has ever seen.

It would be no match for a knight there to use 'body strengthening magic (hyperphysical abilities)'.

I was still uncomfortable with the stabbed area and body, but I couldn't say luxury.

Releasing his magic to blow away the killing spirit drifting from the girl, instantly strengthening his physical abilities and flesh, Rio jumped straight out to the side.

The girl also reacts to it and changes direction of travel.

Rio releases a hand-throating knife aiming at the girl's legs as she packs her distance as she runs.

The girl, jumping up to avoid the unleashed knife, grabbed onto an affordable branch of the tree and stood gently on the tree with the reverse ascent procedure as it was.

Now Rio jumps and packs his time against the girl.

It was an intense rush as impending as a gust of wind.

Sticking her hand into the robe like she panicked, she took about three hand-throwing knives out of her nostrils and the girl threw it at Rio.

Rio, when he pulled the sword out of his sheath, played it all to reciprocate the girl's unleashed hand-throating knife and put the sword in his sheath again.

A girl quickly descends from a branch of a tree so that she escapes being relative to Rio on a tree with bad scaffolding.

To kill the momentum created by the leap, Rio jumped into the branch of the tree where the girl stood.

When the branch is broken by its amount of motion, Rio falls to keep moving forward.

As I landed on the ground, a girl approached Rio and stuck out a knife.

If you plunder at all, the poison will erode your body.

Release the palm bottom so that Rio hits the girl's jaw at the counter, off the track of the girl's knife.

But the girl avoided Rio's fist by slamming her head.

(Wow. He's still a child, but his physical abilities are different from those of a human race)

Rio was impressed with the girl's strength as she fought.

I don't expect to lose, but the girl's physical abilities were comparable to those of an enhanced Rio.

(But the movement is cluttered)

I can assure you that you will not lose.

(No, that's chronic too...)

There is absolutely no battle.

Rio thinks that if there was spirituality in the ancient martial arts he worked out in his previous life, he wouldn't be so unconscious.

In fact, that's all spiritual advantages are huge.

But this time it led to alarm and stabbing.

It doesn't make sense if you have the power to be struck before you use it.

To ensure victory, Rio accurately observes the girl's movements one or the other, and the knife with which the girl protrudes.

All the attacks the girl punches in with her bare hands, and Rio punches in the blow.

Little by little the girl was starting to get pushed.

Differences in local power have emerged from Rio.

Rio is now trying not to use a lethal attack.

Using spiritual techniques, the battle would have followed.

"Eh."

Little by little, there was a rush on the girl's face.

I guess the girl thinly guessed that she was no match for Rio either.

The girl releases a poke at Rio's heart like she was in a hurry.

"Ugh."

But Rio scolded it by twisting his body slightly, punching the palm bottom into the girl's belly with his right fist.

Where a blunt scream leaks from the girl's mouth and her consciousness is about to fly out of balance, Rio pushes the girl's head from right to left with his left hand.

"Ha."

The girl's body was pounded to the ground.

Playing the knife he had in his hand, Rio placed the girl on her back and restrained her.

The girl realizes that she put all her strength into trying to get violent, but her body doesn't move at all.

"That's it. You know what the word is?

And, pushing the weight into the girl's torso and both hands, Rio said.

"Hih, hih, hih, hih, hih, hih, hih"

Then he distorted his face like he was frightened by something, let his whole body tremble and move his feet twitchy, like crazy, the girl cried out.

"Ugh..."

The girl is crying, raising her voice without screaming, as if she was also inspired by trauma.

"Hey. Easy."

Rio can forgive him for looking too desperate.

"Ugh. Ha, ha, ha! No, don't!

Rio smacks his tongue into a girl who is very unlikely to be able to talk to him.

When I lay the girl down, I put a knife on her neck and, once, she lost consciousness.

"... this is what happens when you grow up in what way?

And, with a strange look on his face, he looked at the stunned girl and said.

Ruthlessness like a machine in battle was lying emotional instability.

At the moment they were assembled, they seemed extremely afraid of something.

"This is..."

Rio noticed that the collar was embedded in the girl.

"Collar of Obedience..., Slave... or"

A collar of obedience is a magic device that can be worn on slaves.

Applying this makes it difficult for slaves to disobey the commands of those who have ordained themselves Lord.

When you are ordered to do something, you get the urge to obey that order, and when you try to act against the order, or you are cast a specific spell, you have severe pain running on your body.

There exists a magic to unlock the magic called 'Uncurse Magic (Dispel)', but it is an advanced magic that is difficult to master, and if you do it without the permission of the owner, you will be guilty of death.

Nor can the equipper perform the magic of disarming himself.

It's such a magic trick.

The way the girl cried earlier was unusual.

Rio thought, perhaps with extreme trauma to be assembled.

But if you let the movement go completely wild, it will take you to kill Rio again, trying to carry out the Lord's command.

Sighing irritably, Rio took the rope out of the backpack and tied the girl's hands and feet.

When you pull the knife out of your hips and poke it at the girl, you rock the girl and wait to wake up.

"Mm......, eh!?

When you notice Rio, you react with a bickoo, and the girl tries to move.

But when I found out my own body wouldn't move, I started desperately trying to take the rope off.

Tease the knife there and Rio gazes from close range with the girl.

"Mmm!

Apparently we can't even have a conversation this time, as we did earlier.

As usual, although there is no light in your eyes, you are not losing your reason, as you just did.

"Are you awake? Answer my question if you don't want to die. If the answer to the question is yes, shake your neck vertically. If you don't, you can keep your mouth shut."

Saying so lightly, he laid his hands on his neck, peeking into his face, and Rio began to observe the girl's tricks.

Neither does Rio think the girl will tell the truth from the start.

That's why I acted.

To the seeming behavior of herself, the girl looked at Rio in a frightened manner.

"You're a slave."

……

"Is the Lord a nobleman of the Kingdom of Beltram?

……

"He ordered me to kill him."

……

The girl remains silent.

But Rio was treading, saying that all the answers to the questions so far were yes.

And I could hear everything Rio wanted to hear, too.

I don't need a girl anymore.

Later is what to do with this girl.

"... you want to be free from slavery?

After sighing, Rio said so.

"Huh..."

Rio did not miss that the light returned only slightly to the girl's eyes for a moment.

"Right."

A girl looks at Rio with a peeping glance somewhere.

It feels like I don't understand Rio's sincerity.

"If you're free from slavery, are you going to kill me?

……

After a lot of silence, the girl slowly shook her face to the side.

Rio crumbles and observes every pulse, gaze movement, breathing, sweating, girl reaction.

"Right...... If I let you go, you'll be treated like a fugitive slave in a human country, but still?... What do you say?

The girl looked baffled as she quivered around her, but when she looked at Rio's serious expression, she eventually nodded small and vertical.

Confirming the girl's response, Rio put his right hand around the girl's neck.

When a small light overflows in Rio's hands, the girl's collar comes off and falls to the ground.

…………

A detached collar appears in the girl's eyes.

The girl was stunned.

After a while the girl began to move her face to make sure she felt the neck.

"Uh... uh, uh, hiccup, hiccup, uh-huh."

And you understood the collar was completely off, suddenly, the girl cried out.

When he saw the sight and exhaled a small sigh, Rio tucked the knife in his hips.

When the girl cried down and more than enough had passed, she was finally getting tired of crying, and the cry had subsided.

"It's time, okay?"

Rio speaks to the girl.

The girl, reacting with Vikri, stared at Rio.

"I wiped the poison, but your knife returns it. You can run now."

He gently treated the area he attacked, and when he said so, Rio cut the rope that was holding the girl.

Then I give you the knife, the girl's gear.

"Huh...?

A girl raises a bewildered voice at Rio's words.

"So you can run. The human realm will be hard for you to live in, but not for the subhuman realm."

And, as I tell the girl, Rio said.

"If you go east from here, you have the realm of the Subman. I was heading east, too, but unfortunately my clothes were torn. I decide to go back to the city once. Say goodbye here."

The girl listened to Rio like that.

The girl will keep trying to kill him about Rio if he keeps his slave collar on.

In that case, Rio must also kill the girl.

But without a collar, it's not a story.

If you don't need to kill, you don't either.

I let the girl go because I thought so.

I wasn't going to take care of Rio until I knew if this girl could live alone.

Rio had heard stories of the Beasts being affectionate towards their compatriots.

I also think it would be better for her to join them then.

Telling the freed girl so, Rio walked out toward Amando.

There is no longer any hostility or killing towards Rio on the girl.

The girl stood still and watched Rio walk away.

Returning to Amando and buying clothes, Rio left the city as soon as he remained.

Get out of the street again and into the woods.

Rio increased the speed of travel once and for all where people lost their eyes.

As I proceeded to sew the gaps in the trees, suddenly Rio stopped.

"... come out"

I called out to the person who was following me all the way back from earlier, like Rio was frightened.

It was the fox beast girl there earlier.

She seemed a little surprised that she was called out, but the girl showed up scared.

"What's up?

What can I do for you, Rio asks?

"Oh, you know, east, go, together..."

Rio stiffens the girl's words only for a moment.

It was a terrible way to talk, but Rio understood what I wanted to tell you.

But the girl's sincerity was beyond Rio's comprehension.

Why would a girl say something like this?

Are you mistaken that you are a good person?

Rio thinks about that.

"You know, I didn't help you out of good intentions. I'm not even going to take you."

And Rio says to correct the girl's mistake.

I was resistant to murder.

I don't want to feel guilty.

For that kind of selfish reason, I let the girl go.

That's all it is for Rio.

"… I want to go,"

The girl said in a voice that was going to disappear.

That's what I heard, Rio, sighing small.

"I'm a human being. It's selfish. The same people who treated you like a slave. What?

Listening to Rio's words, the girl shakes her neck left and right.

"I don't like it...... I don't,. Weird smell, neither, don't"

And the girl said, pointing to Rio.

Hearing about the odd smell, Rio only questioned it a little, but it seems to be the basis on which the girl deserves to trust Rio.

"Besides, I can't go into the Beast Man's territory."

The girl's will was unexpectedly hard, and Rio said it like she was bewildered.

Even so, it is not the reason for the misery.

Since we treat our countrymen as slaves, there must be many beasts with resentment towards the human race.

If Rio had taken the Beast tribe girl in there, it would have been easy to imagine a high probability of being certified as an external enemy.

"Well, that's it, together… I want to go…"

And, to make you feel some strong will, the girl said.

The girl has lived in slavery ever since.

At the same time, I've always wanted to be free from slavery.

But the girl has always lived under the orders of others.

They did not know what to do when they were free.

The girl wandered around the woods even after Rio entered the city, and when Rio came out of the city, she somehow sensed the smell and followed.

Scratching his head with his left hand and sighing small, Rio opened up as he had noticed.

"... whatever you want. However, if you enter the territory of the Beast Nation, you will behave differently. Got it?

I made a passive reason in myself that we should act together rather than be able to keep following him around, and Rio decided to acknowledge the girl's accompaniment.

"Yes, sir."

The girl nodded bewildered.

Rio confirms the fitness of such a girl.

It is wrapped around a green robe that covers the entire body with cuts in front, some of which seem to hold various pieces of gear.

"Do you have food and water? And a blanket?

See if you have the minimum essentials.

"The food, I got, there is, a little. Water, of the river, drinks. This is the blanket."

Hilarious the robe, the girl said.

Rio sighs when he sees it.

It is equally true that the journey is not ready on its own.

"Okay. I'll prepare the food and the water. Then it looks like we should go back to that city again..."

I think it's a hundred million to repeat leaving and entering, but I'll have to look after him more than I've allowed him to accompany me.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go to the city and get your essentials. Right, I'll be back in an hour. Got it?

Talk to the girl like you tell her.

Rio walked out toward Amando as he made sure the snack and the girl shook her neck vertically.

"Yes, what's your name?

Second, as if he remembered, when he stopped and looked back, Rio asked the girl her first name.

"Latifah"

"Right. I'm Rio. Say hello, Latifah."
