The God Slaying Hero and the Seven Covenants

Lesson 16: The vessel of God 3

Exhale one breath as you head out through the woods to the place you pioneered. Suck the dark green scent all over your chest and wipe the slightly seeping sweat with the sleeves of your clothes.

Then Miss Francesca, who was walking in line next to her, looked up at this one.

"Are you all right?

"Hmm?"

Now, I lean my neck wondering if I might do something to worry me.

"No, because you seem a little tired."

"... do you?

I'm unconscious of myself - am I drunk and losing strength?

Speaking of which, I feel more disturbed in my breath than usual when I say it's not moving so much. Once you stop the foot you were walking on, take a deep breath. So my breathing calmed down slightly.

"Oh, hangover."

"Poor thing... lamentable"

Ermenhilde raises her pitiful voice from the bottom of her heart, and Miss Francesca laughs elegantly as she tries to hide her mouth with her hands. When I laugh bitterly at that voice, I resume walking. I've spoken of it as a hangover, but I'm completely out of it already. My head is firm, and I don't have a headache. My breath is disturbed because I don't have the strength.

Looking at Kotaro, he doesn't seem to remember much of his feet over there, and he flirts from time to time. It's interesting to see Kotaro like that as Solnea and Muru walking next door.

It's nice to dress him up, but he's missing something odd. He looks good and has a lot of nerve. However, there is nothing wrong with the lack of normal time that makes me feel like a third person. Well, I think that's just about right for the players. Excellent appearance and usually serious. Soichi and Nine Seasons, who take everything seriously, seem to resemble Kotaro and are completely different. So you're so hot to the opposite sex.

Kotaro used to say Harlem, but what about now? As far as I'm concerned, I think I'm just tired of Harlem.

When I felt my gaze and turned to you, I was looking at me with Fayrona and Ami stopping their legs a little further. To that gaze, if nothing, wave and resume walking a little faster.

Chichi, and. A small squeal in the distance. It must be a little bird.

When I looked up, I saw several little birds flying from the branches of a tall tree.

But is there really something about Solnea?

"I don't know. I know you said that because you have something to feel."

To me, to Elmen Hilde. Solnea can feel “something” that cannot be felt by the sharp Faerona or Mululu, or by Ami or Miss Francesca, the sorcerer.

What it is - thinking about it, the nearby bush (Kusamura) rocked a lot. The unnatural swing leaves with tremendous momentum.

Based on the swaying state of the bushes, I predict that it will be about the size of a medium-sized demon. It is rare that they do not attack and flee.

"What do you think it was?

"I think it was a giant monkey (ape), but it's odd that it didn't come this way"

"Right...... Fayrona, Ami"

Miss Francesca also seemed suspicious. Once I stop, I call the two of you who were walking ahead.

The Koutaroos, who realized something had happened, also stopped and waited for this word.

Before the two come, look in the direction that the demon fled and said. Into my head. Think about the geography around here. Think about what would have happened ahead, but there couldn't have been anything particularly remarkable.

"What do you think of Miss Francesca?

"Uh... my opinion?

"Let me hear it"

"- I thought maybe it was reconnaissance. Were you trying to figure out where we were headed, or what?

"Right."

I thought so, too. Nodding small, he bowed shyly. But the side of it has an irresistible grin.

It is an adorable reaction inside.

"Well, I just thought so too, I don't know if I'm right"

"That's where I give you the water"

"It's true."

It's almost at the same time that I laugh at my heels and Faerona and Ami come by. All of a sudden they laugh at me, and they look at me strangely. Tighten your mind to that look.

"What's up, Range?

"Is there something wrong?

As soon as he sees the two people who came to the side, he tells them what the demon said earlier when he fled.

Finding people and running away without attacking them is very unnatural from the side that knows the demonic habits. Is there anything in the direction of escape, or should we assume that there is something in the place where we are headed?

"Is it a scourge?

"I guess."

It's natural to assume that a vampire manipulated giant monkey (Ape) is watching us and that he escaped because he saw us. Five vampires were killed by the time we got here. If not so much, it would be time to stop.

Maybe it's an operation to keep us away from the giant monkeys (apes). - Even so, there's nothing else to mark.

Vampires (vampires) are not so powerful demons, but this is how they manipulate demons is troublesome.

Not strong, nasty demons. It can also be described as a struggling opponent.

"Me and Faerona go first. Miss Francesca is with Ami."

…………

When I said that, only slightly... Ami looked dissatisfied to the point of not putting it to words. I guess that's because I haven't let Ami fight since I started looking for vampires (vampires).

No, that's the same for Miss Francesca and Mululu. Vampire extermination was shot from afar by Fayrona or me turning Ermenhilde into a bow.

That's because vampires (vampires) are manipulated by the person they bit - apart from the fact that I have a few bad memories. Well, as traumatic as it sounds, it's not a strong emotion either.

However, I still didn't want to bring Amida, I think. If you can, so can Fayrona. Ami will look unhappy because she realizes my emotions like that. Don't talk about the area, because I decided on my own that you and I would go together.... really, satirical or nice woman? That's enough, Utano said.

I'm glad you're guessing, but as a man, I'm sad and embarrassed. Trying to keep me from crying, acting strong... hey, bad ass because they're noticing me around there.

... I guess they followed me even when I said I couldn't because they noticed me like that. My face was a little scary when I said we were going together, and Miss Faerona and Miss Francesca collapsed... rude, but she told me she would follow me.

Whatever your heart is, it's still a pleasure to think that's all you're worried about. Mululu seems to be about half the reason for the rebellion of being treated like a child by Graania.

Don't be alarmed.

"Yes."

You won't listen to me when I tell you to go home here, and I know it's more dangerous to leave you here.... In the end, it's my fault that I couldn't say no strongly from the start, and it's still comforting to have company.

"That's how I treat you like a child"

To the voice of Ermenhilde, flaunt his shoulders. Ami won't react, I guess, because I'm the only one hearing the voice earlier. So I don't say anything out loud.

...... treat children. I'm sure you're right. Same as Graania, maybe I'm still sweet on the kid too.

"Well, I can't laugh at Graania either."

"Don't worry. Ranges and arrays are alike."

Are you calling me that? When I hear it, I think Graania's going to cry, and I laugh. Miss Francesca looked at me like that, wondering.

"All right, let's go"

That said, we change course to where the giant monkey (Ape) headed. A bush that can't even be called a beast path (Kusamura), but if Faerona leads the way, it helps because she chooses a path that she can get through to some extent.

Besides, giants of giant monkeys (apes) are unsuitable for advancing where the grass is dense. The grass and tree branches in the place you went through are broken, so it's easy to follow. Taking the paved path at a speed not much different, we were able to reach the exit of the bush in no time.

Just before that, Fayrona, who was walking in the fight, raises her right hand. It's a stop signal.

Everyone stops and tension runs. When I stare, I see nothing ahead of me through the bushes. But I guess Faerona has something to feel.

"What's up?

"Range, vampires prefer darkness, right?

"Right."

That's what they ask and follow Faerona's gaze. Ahead, there was the entrance to a cave-like place.

... would there have been such a place?

"Kotaro, Mululu. Was there a cave here?

When I ask people from this continent and their fellow stayers, they shake their heads sideways. It was just that in this case I didn't remember it very well.

Well, there's no way you remember every single cave.

I think so and look around, but I don't see any giant monkeys (apes) that escaped earlier. Should I consider myself in a cave? With that in mind, we observe the surroundings for a while, make sure there are no other demons around, and then get out of the bush.

Looking up at the sky, the position of the sun is still high. Should we explore the caves here and camp here at night if there is nothing?

Again, now get out of the bush and check the perimeter. It's a pioneering place. Here, there is little risk that demons will be struck beforehand, even if they come close. I can't say absolutely, but it would be a safe enough place.

"I'm going to look in the cave with Kotaro and me, so everybody, a little early, but get ready for the night camp with Solnea."

If nothing happens, I'll be right back, and if anything, I'll still be back to rendezvous with my people.

The entrance to the cave, to the surrounding ground, but the footprint is a lot of different things, big and small, and I don't know which one belongs to the giant monkey (Ape) that escaped earlier. Sure, this is a sanctuary where all the giant monkeys (apes) live, but also the giant monkeys (apes) unexpected demons. However, in that case, the elves are expelling demons or being eaten by giant monkeys (apes).

"Yes."

But the only ones who replied were the ladies Francesca. Ami still looks back at me like she said something.

Daiwa, I know you want to say that it follows......

"I asked for it."

"... on behalf of Kotaro, I'll go"

But that's what I'm saying to my back when I try to get to the cave. Looking back, I'm ready to take the lantern out of my bag and dive into the cave.

To that appearance, sigh. Kotaro was looking at Oro, me and Ami alternately.

I think you'd look better if you calmed down a little bit.

"Ami"

"I'm not a child anymore, either"

I try to say something back to that strong gaze, and I shut up.

I know that. Ami can already think for herself and act for herself. It's just - I'm the kid.

I can't work hard without treating the kids and positioning myself as an adult. He's such a weak adult.

But.

"Right."

Can't you ever, ever treat him like a child? No, shouldn't I?

In this case, should Ami feel grown up? Or should I think I have to grow up?

The tour lasted for a moment. When I turned my gaze to Kotaro, I felt relieved that the conversation had calmed down, with my usual strong expression on my shoulder.

"If anything happens, you can be the shield, right?

I'll protect you then.

He's the one who says good looks. Ami came next to me when I swallowed the word and smiled bitterly at you earlier.

"Lord Lianshi, if anything happens, protect Ami?

"Hehe."

Ermenhilde replied with a laugh, not me, to the words.

Protect.

That's a heavy word for me. It's a hard word for me to say that I've always been protected.

But - when Kotaro said that I was listening to yesterday, I felt it only meant a little differently.

So.

"Oh, I'll protect you."

I used to say it would be easy to protect. Yeah, I think so.

I'll protect you. By saying that, everyone's anxiety diminished and I was ready.

... but there were many things I couldn't protect. One of them is the vampire we're going to fight.

"Look, Ami. Let's go."

That's what I say, put Aya down while she stops and steps into the cave. The entrance is still bright with the light of the sun, but as soon as you go a little further, you won't be able to see anything in the dark.

Lantern is owned by Ami, so we can't proceed without Ami.

"Ha no!

Somehow, I heard a strange response, like a convulsion.

That's hilarious, shivering my shoulders.

"Don't laugh at him."

You're laughing, too.

Behind me, I heard Kotaro scream.

I'm sure he was dropped in the pit for making a cut that I say weird things about.
