"Hey Aldis! Are you safe?"

The boy, who rejected the men's attack, turned around in response to his calling voice. Three boys and girls appear in the boy's eyes. In both cases, the boy looks back and looks reassured.

"It's glowing again ..."

Looking around the scorched part of the forest, the man at the head approached with a blur. Rosewood Brown eyes, dark brown hair, stiff skeleton and short-lived muscles give a rough impression. Dressed in leather armor, wearing a bastard sword and a round shield, it looks like a swordsman at first glance.

"I didn't burn it."

"Yes, Ted. Aldis isn't going to fight this sternly."

It was a young woman in a dark green hooded robe who defended the boy who refused to be foolish. I have a short wood staff in my hand. A very common magician. Bright redheads looked out from the end of the hood on his head, with his eyes turned slightly dark red to a swordsman called Ted.

"Why do I always feel like I'm bad?"

"Come on, at least I don't think Aldis and Orphelia have said anything wrong?"

When Ted asks the archer next to him, he gets a flurry of answers. Do you not want to be involved or are you bothersome? The little archer with steel hair and eyes shrugged off the conversation.

"How many were you?"

The boy in the robe asks the magician.

"This was three people, but I didn't feel any motivation at all. When Norris fired, I quickly retreated--"

"As soon as I turned my feet to join Aldis, I came out a little bit and came."

Ted takes over Orphea's words angryly.

"Well, that's what you see ..."

Watching the blue robes fall down on the ground, he frowns for a moment.

"Isn't it nice that you didn't kill both of them?"

"I'm not two of them. There are three more because there is another dead."

The archer Norris seems to have noticed the body of the leather armor man who could not escape.

"I don't understand well"

"Well, the eyes are life for the archer."

Norris responds with a special face to a boy who is impressed.

Killing "Either way, it's going to be like everyone's gone."

Says Ted is gone.

"It would be easy for you to catch it live."

"They've been aiming for my life. What's wrong with a return?"

The boy was in a bad mood, saying that I was just protecting myself.

"No, that's right."

Orphelia gives a helping ship to Ted, frowning.

"I don't have Ted's shoulders, but wouldn't it have been better to capture just one person and let her go behind him?"

"It's a hassle. It doesn't matter who directed you, no matter what's behind you. If you do, you'll get back to it. That's it."

"Ah. Aldis has a mature face, but it's always scary to say."

Quality: "Yes. It's really bad because it has the power to go back."

Orphelia sighs and agrees with Norris with a dry laugh.

No one here blames for taking the assailant's life. Human law extends to cities, settlements, and the sight of law enforcement officials.

There's nothing ridiculous enough to appeal for the protection of the law deep in the forest, where wild beasts and demons permeate. In an unlawful land, you need to protect yourself. If you can't do that, you just lose your life.

Naturally, criminals do not hesitate, and those who have no way to protect themselves are just prey that can be reaped. There are no assaulters or assaults, only those that are stronger. If you attack someone stronger than you, you will be killed. Only such ordinary providence is alive in places where no one can step in.

Byakuya "Well, it's true that we've sold fights to" My Star "anyway. We'll do it right before we drop it."

Next to the strong swordsman calmly fighting, a small archer proceeds.

"And Aldis. Do you know what you're doing?"

"I don't know, but I knew sword magic."

"Hmm. Well, Aldis's sword magic has become known these days. You're not hiding it, right?"

A boy called Aldis returns to Norris, "Well." If you turn your gaze diagonally, you can see all the possibilities.

"The murderers who attacked the aristocrat who tried to take me back and came back to bed. Magicians approaching to teach sword magic. The jealousy bare mercenaries, though the thieves who are trying to crush my earning at best.

Abominable, "I think you're also a great lord of the army."

When Orphelia added, Ted replied, not just to the ears.

"Huh? Why did the military take Aldis?"

"A former lord of the army had come straight to me and asked a military sorcerer to do sword magic. I refused it, not even this child."

"Sword magic isn't something a magician can learn anyway. It's just a waste of time for each other. If you have time, it's more meaningful to sleep in bed."

The person in question utters bluntly.

"But there's a way to refuse! Even if you don't listen to your opponent's words, if you refuse that kind of thing, you're determined to stand up!"

Ted sends his gaze to the boy while raising his eyebrows, what are he doing?

"If you are ashamed only in the public eye, you can buy grudges."

"Ahaha. Aldis is still full of enemies."

"It's not a laugh, Norris. Gorotsuki and pirates aside, but nobles, churches, and territory are bad. It's really dangerous. ''

"I know, Ted. I'll take care of you and I won't bother you. I'll keep you quiet with nobles and church people."

In the words of Aldis, Ted and others say their words.

`` Three copper coins for those who can not weight themselves ''

"Then I'll bet five copper coins on those who aren't going to weigh myself."

"Aha. One silver coin for those who don't even think of their own weight."

The disposition that even betting will be unsuccessful.

"..."

Aldis's "Grow Up" didn't seem to be trusted at all.

"Then, do you want to return to town today? Aldis, have you recovered? I want to leave the forest before the night spreads."

"Oh, it's over"

The term "recovery" as used here means recovering gold-eyed objects from enemy bodies.

It behaves like a chauffeur, but it is deep in a forest beyond law. Even more, the opponent is an enemy who is trying to take Aldis's life. You need to check your belongings to check your identity, and no one will be blamed for receiving money-granted money.

"I didn't have a good thing."

"Well, I'll burn it?"

"I beg. I'll burn the man over there."

After burning the enemy's body, the Ardiss rushed out of the forest onto the highway and into the city. Located in the southeast of the Canobis Mountains, located in the center of Robles, the port city of Tria, where the sea breeze smells from the east, is where Aldis live.

It is the second largest city in the Kingdom of Nagras, with its rich granary area in the surroundings and the thriving forests and nearshore trade. The Caucasus forest in southern Tria brings fuel, food, and medicinal herbs to the city, and has long supported the city's development.

Of course, it is usually out of reach of humans, wild beasts, and even hidden areas where monsters infest. However, the blessings available deep in the forest are very attractive to humans. Many people enter the forest knowing the danger of life.

Occasionally, large merchants join hands to perform large-scale searches, but it is common for small merchants to form parties and enter the forest. Obtaining medicinal herbs and rare plants in the forest at the request of merchants is a valuable source of income for peacetime mercenaries.

Mercenaries do not always fight year after year. In the first place there is not always a battleground.

If you can't buy a sword arm, you must inevitably earn some money and do something. Escorts of travel, delivery of letters, investigation of wilderness areas, eradication of beasts, gathering activities in dangerous areas, and those who cannot accept such jobs eventually become robbers and bandits, who are hunted by mercenaries.

The work they have done this time is a preliminary survey of logging sites. The request itself was issued jointly by several timber merchants. The old logging area had already harvested remarkable trees, and it was said that next year it was necessary to open up new logging areas.

"So what was the place you surveyed this time?"

Aldis asks, just like another person.

"It's not bad. The distance to the road is short and it seems that there is no problem if the road is maintained. The quality of the wood seems to be good, so as a lumber trader I will try to secure it even if I invest a little I wonder if it is "

Twin sword beast "There are several nests of" ", so I think it is necessary to clear them in advance."

Norris supplements.

"Hey"

"Well, that's why it's going to make us rice seeds. So, can't you be a sense of ownership?"

Ted complained about Aldis's lack of heat.

"No, in fact, I'm only participating on a temporary basis. In a sense, it's a request I received as" Mystery of the White Night ", so in a sense it's someone else?"

Ted distorts his expression.

"Hey Aldis. You said before, why don't you join our party?"

"I am?"

"That's right. I mean, I'm so often assembled, and it's almost no longer like a member of The White Star."

"Party ... hey ... well ... think about it"

"So it's like protracting the conclusion every time-"

Ordalia's words were cut off after Aldis's troublesome response.

"Did you hear?"

Aldis and Norris meet.

"Yeah, someone is being attacked."

Aldis's ears, with his eyes closed and focused, can hear a human voice calling for salvation. At the same time, the sound of the horse's neatness and the screams of the desperate. The direction is the road to which Aldis and others go. If you proceed as it is, there is no doubt that you will match.

"What do you do, Ted?"

Aldis asks for a strong man's judgment. Because he's the leader of White Stars.

"Naturally help"

"Which one?"

"I decide after watching!"

Ted departed with all his power.

"Ahaha. It's a terrible face and a carnival."

"That's true. I wonder if that personality that plunges his head into trouble"

No matter how strong the appearance, you can't help reaching out to those in need. While complaining to such a party leader, the two would probably meet each other.

From the perspective of Aldis, Ted's way of life never seems clever. Danger is everywhere in this world. A person who jumps into trouble from himself can never live long.

But Ardis didn't want Ted to be stupid. I was pleased that Ted's way of life was a bit like his benefactor, and because of his modest nature, Aldis could live in this world.

"I'm ginger."

Despite being a boy, Aldis threw two short swords off her waist and followed Ted with those floating in the air.
