"I understand the story. Mr. Stacia wants to tell you that I'm sweet, right?

"No. It's Big Sweet."

Say it. Stacia snorted. What she's saying is truly lawless, but still muscular. It doesn't matter if they steal your pen if you're dead.

No matter how thoughtful, the dead don't need anything.

"... By the way, what happens to me now?

"So I would be telling you to pay. If you pay, I'll give you back what's important to you."

"If I pay you, can you open up to me, too?

"What else does that sound like?"

"But in Mr. Stacia's logic, both mine and yours (...) of (...). I mean, possessions, right?

Stacia scratched her head like she was pissed off.

"That's why I'm telling you to give me the money, including that. 'Cause you're going to be more money than selling to slave traders."

"Were you going to sell me to a slave trader?

"If only I hadn't been like that."

"Mr. Stacia is a hunter, isn't she?

"Shouldn't hunters sell people?

Stacia answers with a natural face without any evil appearance. Then Ashton decided to change the incision.

"This is definitely the realm of Mekia, right?

"What's wrong with that?

"Though the Shinto Mekia should not have allowed the slave trade?

Slavery, which was normal until about 700 years of the light and shade calendar, is now also set on fire by the fact that it is pre-epochal. Still, there are countries where the slave trade is publicly permitted, even countries where there is no doubt that the number of slaves is the power of the country.

"I'm not making a mistake, but everything's not all about the kingdom of Mekia. The neighbouring kingdom of Serranis is still a country where the slave trade flourishes. You better take your clothes off than that."

"What?"

I didn't understand what they were saying for a moment, and Ashton shuddered. Stacia punches her tongue when she sees how it goes.

"Don't say the same thing over and over again. Take off your clothes."

"... why do I need to take my clothes off?

"You're the man with the most questions. You're determined to catch a cold if you stay put. Or is physical pain not enough?

Ashton paid lightly for the hand Stacea stretched out with her frustration strapped to her face. I knew why, but it was clear that was not the action that came out of kindness. Even a cold would be such a hassle to walk with.

I'm not going to ask you to help me take my clothes off, even if it's a word I gave up a hundred steps and came out of kindness.

"I'll take it off myself, it's okay."

As Ashton slowly moved his painful body off his jacket and shirt, he again saw a large mole all over his body.

(Probably a mole made of hitting a rock when it was being flushed into the river...)

Next to Ashton rubbing his mole, Stacia stabbed a military uniform caught on a wooden stick as if it were even baked in a fish, around the burning fire.

"Look, just take it off down there."

"No, down there..."

"What? Are you embarrassed?

"Beh, I'm not ashamed of you!

"If you're not ashamed, take it off like a man. I'm not interested in your nakedness."

"No, sir."

Stacia sighed heavily at Ashton, who stubbornly refused.

"Totally...... in front of a beautiful woman, I knew you'd be embarrassed?

Ashton abruptly denied to Stacia, who niggles.

"So he said he wasn't ashamed!

"Okay, okay,"

Stacia raised her hands as if to show no harm. As Ashton is leaking his appeasement breath, Stacia's hands are stretching quickly. Resistance softly stripped Ashton of his pants, disastrous that he was completely poked in the gap and that his body still wouldn't move as he thought it would.

Plus Stacia's gaze is poured on Ashton's underwear.

"Ko, this is absolutely not the only way!!

"You don't have to shout so loud to get to your underwear. Better still eat this until your clothes are dry and restore your health. Then apply this too."

Instead of the stripped trousers, Stacia handles the dried meat and scratch pills unwrought. Ashton in his underwear received with his knees in his arms.

The military uniform was also dry in advance, and Stacia, who stood up roughly as Ashton passed her sleeves in the guise of a completely unashamed wind, looked around with a harsh look.

"What's wrong with you?

"─ Something's wrong."

"Signs...?

Looking around just like Stacia, this doesn't make any difference. The occasional wind is enough to make a leafy noise.

"I don't think it's particularly weird?

"I'm not asking for your opinion. Get dressed more quickly than that. We'll be out of here in a minute."

Stacia, hastily extinguishing the firewood fire, advances with her bow towards the woods with one hand. As Ashton also follows behind, Stacia, who immediately stops, takes a single arrow out of her back arrow barrel and begins to bow toward the tree in the right direction.

(Did you find something?

Faster than Ashton spoke to Stacia, a two-legged walking beast appeared covered in red and black hair as she flashly rocked the grass.

"Isn't that Norfest the Warcraft... so the hunt ends badly with a walrus"

Stacia rattles her teeth. Norfest turns a creepy red eye on the Ashtons as he spreads his huge hook claws. Fortunately, the distance to Norfest is away there, but still, if I run out, I get stuffed instantly.

Because there is so much difference in physical abilities that humans and beasts cannot be filled.

"... let's get out of here"

Speaking quietly not to irritate Norfest, Stacia shook her neck in small pieces just saying it was impossible.

"I can't. There's no way we can get away with this."

"Then will you be killed in silence here?

"You don't understand? That's not the beast there. This is Norfest, the warcraft known as the use of calamity?

"I know you do."

"You... aren't you scared?

I don't see any Stacia eyes here asking that. Just that it is unacceptable to show a slight gap in front of Norfest.

"It's Dangerous Bad Beast II, isn't it? Of course you're scared."

Stacia won't know, but Ashton's knee is totally laughing with fear. It's been superfluous since I found out that the black object I glimpsed when this body was blown up and the norphets in front of me now match perfectly.

Still, if you can't die here, Ashton desperately squeezes his wisdom to get through this place.

"... Either way, is it possible to hit the arrow on Norfest's lap?

"What all of a sudden?

"Is it possible?

Strictly questioned, Stacia nodded cocklessly as she squeezed the arrow.

"provided the opponent is not moving"

"Okay. Now, please stay back slowly."

"Back off..."

"That's right. My uniform just dried up but I don't want to go into the river again...... The Warcraft Norfest doesn't like water"

"Is that true? That's the first story I've ever heard."

To my surprise Stacia, Ashton affirmed yes. Long body hair covering Norfest's body seems to suck a lot of water, and if it's something to go into the river, it's going to sink in weight. This is just the knowledge gained in the literature, but you don't have to tell Stacia that now.

Either way, if we don't cut through here, we're just gonna die together.

"If you cross the river, you're likely to get away with it. To do that, you first need to injure his leg and take away the speed. As I said earlier, it's the knee you're after. To be sure, we'll distract him first by releasing an arrow in his face."

"So the next one is fate, right?

"Exactly."

"... you can trust me"

"Yeah. ─ Then I'll go. Like a tortoise walk slowly."

Ashton and Stacia exhale loudly at each other and move their feet exactly like turtles. Norfest raised a roar that froze his soul against the sky.
