Together with the three of us, I was at the base.

Sona and I are breaking up on the way, and Celia and I are going to the captain's office.

To be briefed by Faraes on the mission.

"Now, let me explain the mission."

"Oh, nice to meet you"

"Even so, it's a simple assignment, so I don't even have that much to explain... oh, there it is"

When he enters the captain's office, Faraes takes the paper out of his desk.

Perhaps a piece of paper describing the content of the mission.

"Come on, look at this"

"Oh...... striped snake?

"That's what he wanted me to take down because he showed up along the street..."

Check the paper given to Faraes, together with Celia.

Apparently, a striped snake is the demon that needs to be defeated this time.

I'm just not that familiar with the demons of this world. For that reason, I decide to ask Celia what kind of demon it is.

"Does Celia know what this demon looks like?

"Ah, yes. Striped snakes are serpents with striped bodies. Because of that body, it's a bit of a troublesome demon to grasp the length."

"I see... I mean, do we have to take care of distance..."

Celia's words gave me a little understanding of what kind of demon they were.

The difficulty in grasping the sense of distance is that I find it rather difficult to fight, so I will have to keep my mind tight. No, any opponent, I don't want to be alarmed.

"Thank you, Celia. Somehow, I know who they are."

"If that helps, I'm glad"

"Hehe, apparently, the operation meeting is over. Well, I asked you both."

"Oh, I'll take care of it"

"Yes! I'll do my best!

That's how Celia and I headed on a mission.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Celia were going down the street and coming near where Stripesnake was witnessed.

"Around here..."

"Oh, where the hell are you..."

Celia, we're going into the woods.

"Yes!"

From there, me and Celia go into the woods.

Probably because you're supposed to be lurking somewhere in the woods.

"Well, will you come out..."

"What do you think..."

Me and Celia go through the woods, guarding our surroundings.

The fact that they showed up on the streets would make it more likely that even humans would attack them.

I mean, they're supposed to come out of the other guy.

"Yeah?"

"Ah..."

Me and Celia notice when we get out a little open.

I heard something rubbing.

We stand at the same time and prepare for the demons that are supposed to come.

"Shaaaaaa!"

"You're here!

"Yes! Definitely a striped snake!

There's a striped serpent looming for me and Celia.

This is the demon we were looking for.

Looks like you came out of there, as expected.

Maybe he's licking about this one because he came straight out without even turning it off.

That's convenient for this one.

"I see... indeed, it's a hard body to understand..."

As Celia taught me, it was a striped body, a snake hard to tell how long it was. Plus, it's a pretty big body. This is going to be hard to fight inside.

"Shaaaa!"

"Oops!

"Ha!"

Me and Celia turn left and right on the striped snake we're going into.

The body is full of gaps.

"Ahhh!

"Shroud!"

The serpent has rounded up my body to unleash my blow.

He didn't seem to have gone in without thinking about it.

But I'm not alone.

"Hey, ahhh!

"Shah!?

Celia's poke stabs at striped snakes that round her body.

I just didn't totally get in.

"Shroud!"

Because the striped snake bit the trees around him and escaped that poke.

The serpent, wrapped around the tree as it was, heads up.

"Let him go!

I throw a stone at someone like that.

It was recovered from the ground right after Celia unleashed the poke.

"Shah!?

The stone struck straight at the head of the striped snake.

That makes him fall off the tree. Apparently, it's out of balance.

Later, it only cleaves firmly.

"Celia! We'll fit!"

"Yes! Master!

Me and Celia are headed for the falling stripe snake.

"Ahhh!

"Hey, ahhh!

And they wave their swords and swords at the same time.

That attack divides Stripesnake's body into three parts.

"Shaaaaaa!"

"Master!?

"It's all right!

But the life force of this serpent was tremendous.

He came to me almost exclusively with his head.

But the attack is not very threatening.

I swing a knife, quick.

"Ahhh!

"Sha......!

The blow ripped off the head of Stripesnake.

The serpent's face falls to the ground and loses its power.

The boulder seems to have run out of lives.

"Master! You did it!

Celia stopped by to make sure the serpent was exhausted.

Towards Celia, I release my words slowly.

"Oh, now you're okay..."

"Yes!"

Thus, my crusade with Celia was completed.

◇ ◇ ◇

Me and Celia were back at the Knights base.

We have also reported to Faraes, so now it is a free time.

That's why Celia and I were walking down the corridor of the stronghold.

The destination is the courtyard.

Just simply, to take a break.

"Is that it?"

"Celia, what's up?

"Master, look at that one"

"Yeah?"

So Celia has said that.

Somehow, I think I found it.

Me too, I'll turn my consciousness in the direction Celia said.

"Ah!"

There was a dark-haired woman nodding around.

Maybe he's not feeling well, either.

"Celia, let's go!

"Yes!"

Me and Celia are headed straight for the woman.

There's no one around, so we're the only ones on our way.

"Are you okay......?

"Ugh..."

I approached him and tried to speak up, but the woman just groans.

I don't know, but the expression looks painful.

You should go to the infirmary.

"Celia, can you go to the infirmary and tell us what's going on?

"Ah, yes. Immediately...... Huh?

I thought so, and I asked Celia, but that's when the woman moved.

I stopped Celia trying to get to the infirmary.

I don't know, maybe I don't like going to the infirmary.

"What's wrong with you? Something about why I can't go to the infirmary...?

"Phew..."

"Huh?"

To my question, the woman let go of her words briefly.

I'm just not sure what that word is.

"Tsu..."

"Ts?"

Women have said something more.

Is it possible that it follows from the earlier words?

"Or..."

"You?"

"I..."

"Yeah?"

The words went on further.

Again, I feel like a word to connect.

At the same time, one word came up in me.

"Yes......"

"Yes, or..."

The last word is released, and I understand.

Again, that's the word I had in mind.

"I mean, are you hungover?

"Mmm..."

To my words, the woman nodded slowly.

Apparently, he's hungover.

Do you not want to go to the infirmary because you are ashamed?

"... Celia, for now, can you rub it on your back too? I'll get some water."

"Ah, yes. Okay."

Give Celia those instructions, and I'll start moving.

Hangover or not, let's just decide to help.

This is how Celia and I helped a hungover woman.
