Forest Barbarians act with connection (...). Giant about 3 meters tall.

But what's completely different from humans is that they have four arms, one eye, and the body surface is green and rugged, and they're not wearing clothes.

The nicknames are "The Green Giant" and "The Keeper of the Woods" -- 10% of the time.

But the threat is outrageous.

As can be seen from Mukimuki's muscles, the power squeezes human beings far. I have four of those arms. To defeat this, the shield holding is the stone (temple) that holds it in by the two sides -- yes, it was written in the library book.

But the avant-garde is Peer at Paula's threesome party. Her weapon is the Great Sword. Even if it's easy to give a tall Forest Barbarian an effective hit, it's not suitable for war prevention.

In fact, although I took the stick that would be swung down with a big sword, I'm eating and blowing up the marutai that another arm swung in my stomach.

"Peer!!"

"Paula, restorative magic"

Priscilla emits a sharp voice.

"Wow, I know!

Paula leans over to Pier and chants her healing magic. In the meantime, Priscilla tries to draw Forest Barbarian's attention with a bow and arrow.

But the Forest Barbarian just glances at Priscilla and heads to the falling peer.

"Knock."

Priscilla releases the next arrow. Arrows strike directly at the defenseless back —— I did, I should have, but the tip was only slightly stabbed.

It quickly falls in a puffy way.

Forest Barbarians had this hard skin. How strong an attack, or a sharp blade, or you won't get through.

"Pia, Paula, run!

But Priscilla's voice doesn't make it.

Paula is chanting healing magic with her back turned. Peer suffering from inability to move.

Forest Barbarians wielding sticks behind their backs.

"Run... and Paula..."

Tears spill from both eyes of Peer. I'm pretty sure Paula will die as well as herself as she is.

Even Paula must know. And yet Paula doesn't stop chanting about restorative magic -- chanting about praying for miracles to the gods.

————

You said you'd protect me, so even I'll protect you--

Yes, that was a face I told you about.

He even had a little grin.

"No... no... no, Paula...!

To Pier's voice, Paula shook her head down to the side.

The stick is swinged-down --.

"... Huh?

be swung down, was not the

The Forest Barbarian collapsed as his arms fell.

"Hey, what, so..."

If the peer is not known, healing magic is activated.

This magic of doing "miracles" to the bodies of others makes it necessary to pray to the gods. It's like a celebration at the shrine, long time. It was the weakness of restorative magic that made me defenseless during chanting.

Should I say instead, it is highly effective.

Pier feels the bare bones that should have been crushed connect. So much healing magic is powerful, but Paula is also highly suited.

But now it wasn't where I got hurt.

Why, the Forest Barbarian has fallen --.

"... I can't believe you guys are dying twice in the last few days, suicide volunteers?

Standing there was a brunette, brunette-eyed boy —— Hikaru.

Slightly retraces time--.

Hikaru ran as he saw the Forest Barbarian, leaving a bag with redhorn rabbits with Ravia.

It was also possible to approach with "mass blockade". But you need to jump to get a blow into the tall Forest Barbarian, and one is faster than simply moving between the two of you.

A blow to the spinal cord from behind.

This is death.

Hikaru felt the rank of his soul rise.

"Dear Hikaru...!

Paula was either reactionary or exhausted exercising her magic. She brightens her expression. I tried to get up and fell on the spot.

"Paula! Don't push me!

"Ha, ha... I can't, it was Peer who did, wasn't it?

"Ugh, sorry..."

Priscilla is also stopping by to help Pia and Paula get up.

In the meantime, Lavia came to Hikaru. Dragging the bag as it drifts. That seems to be just heavy, with Lavia exhaling on her shoulders.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Have them bring it."

"Hikaru...... are these people friends?

"I wonder if we know each other on a level."

"Yeah."

Hikaru didn't notice that Lavia threw her gaze at Priscilla's chest —— her rich chest, and then narrowed her eyes.

"Pia, Paula. Can you stand? Can you go back to Pond?

"Ugh, yeah, somehow... I'm so sorry. I can't believe you saved my life not once, not twice."

"You guys are too unscrupulous. Why Forest Barbarian--"

Hikaru realizes when I say it.

Forest Barbarians near a city like this? That's crazy.

That seemed doubtful to the peers, too.

"We wanted to collect materials and hunt little demons for our money. I don't think 'The Green Giant' is in such a shallow place. It's on its own too."

"Single? Wasn't it a connection (...)?

"If there were two of us, we'd be dead."

"You didn't defeat one of them. Hmmm --"

Hikaru put his hand on his chin and tried to think,

(... ah)

I noticed.

Hikaru is hunting one Forest Barbarian in the woods behind the lake.

At that time, Forest Barbarians didn't particularly think it was a solo act, but on second thought, wasn't that one crack in the connection (...)?

The forest here is huge. That's what leads us to the lake. Forest Barbarians killed the connection (...) thought it was humans who killed them. And I tried to avenge humans, and I came this far --.

(So the Piers were attacked because of me!?)

A cold sweat drips down my back.

"What's wrong?"

"Hey, nothing"

Taken by Lavia, Hikaru disguised herself as calm.

Of course, it's just an imagination -- as Hikaru, guilt doesn't clear up.

"Dear Hikaru... I will give you all the material for this monster. Of course, Hikaru was crusaded, so it's a natural right..."

"Yes, no, you can't have it. This is who you fought and defeated."

"It was Hikaru who set me up."

"Still! I can't get it. You can have it. You can't have it."

"... what's up? I think I'm upset."

"I'm not upset or anything"

Thinking about how to say no, Hikaru sees Lavia —— the bag she's been dragging rather than having.

"We already have prey, so we don't have enough hands to carry it. Plus, the Forest Barbarian is pretty scratched, and selling it doesn't make it that big. If so, it's not appropriate to give money and carry it."

"... Really? Thank you something--"

"It's okay, because it's really okay! Let's go back to the city. If Paula and the others are going to take it, you should take the material from this monster. Just don't give me my name. [M] I get tangled up in a lot of weirdness."

Paula and the others didn't seem quite convinced, but when Hikaru ran out of words, they broke me at the end.

Forest Barbarians are made of skins. It is hard and supple and easy to stain when processed. If you sell a whole bottle, it will cost 50,000 guillans at the standard price, but this word "standard price" is the crap. The "highest intact price" is called the "standard price." The monster material we fought and defeated is scratched and obvious, so this Forest Barbarian, who was in a lot of contact with the Piers, isn't it about 50,000 or 10,000 guillans for sale? And Hikaru thought.

A relatively energetic Priscilla decided to take home only the skin on Forest Barbarian's back.

"Um... Dear Hikaru"

"Hmm?"

"That's you."

"Oh —— this is Len Crow. It's my... my other side."

Introduce Lavia. Lavia fixes her hat to the depth of her eyes with a little light on the word "opponent".

"Ah, the other side... the other side of the beautiful boy...!?"

Paula was excited by the unusual.

It was so close to the city that Hikaru and the others were to go home first.

It wasn't long before sunset that Priscilla finished peeling.

"Let's hurry. Pia, can you run?

"Oh. No problem -- Priscilla?

…………

"What's going on? Be depressed."

"I'm not depressed."

Looks like Priscilla was looking at Forest Barbarian's body.

There is a punch on the nod and a scar worn by Hikaru.

"What? Something weird?

"... nothing. Let's go home."

"Really?"

The three of them then hurried to the city.

Returning to the city, Hikaru heads with Lavia to the Adventurer's Guild.

"... Hikaru"

"Mmm."

"Who is that woman named Paula?

"Who... a healing adventurer who can use magic?

"That's all? You know him, don't you?

"Yeah. —— Is there something in Paula?

If Lavia's face is found out or something —— Hikaru stops haphazardly.

"Hikaru......"

"Ugh, yeah."

"... this is what I felt"

"Yeah."

Sakuri.

"You absolutely like that guy about Hikaru, don't you?

"----Yes?"

"Absolutely. You can't take a woman for granted."

Hikaru nearly sat down weak.

I just wanted to ask you to return my nervousness now.

"Well, I feel a little favored. But that's all."

"I wonder..."

"You don't have to worry. I'm the only one watching Lavia."

Boom, and Lavia's face dyed bright red.

"Ugh... that kind of unintended is sloppy"

"What are you worried about? You think I'm using my eyes on them? I don't mean to."

"No. Hikaru must be hot from cool......"

"I don't, I don't"

Even when I lived in Japan, they said "businesslike", "scurvy guy", "businesslike", "my eyes are objective" and "businesslike", but "cool" didn't stick around.

(Oh, you only had one. Senior Ip said, "Huh, that's cool? Hikaru-kun is" as good as I told you to tear it up. But that's not what this means)

"I can think of... I said 'I know' about them, but I'm actually saving my life once. So it's possible you're looking at me beautifully."

He's called the Suspension Bridge Effect, which mistakes the thrill of life's danger for the thrill of love.

"I hope so..."

"If you understand me, let's go to the Adventurer Guild. Yes."

"? Are you holding hands? We don't disappear all over the city..."

"No, I just want to connect"

".................. already! That's what Zului's about!

It lit up and turned red, a little fuzzy, but Lavia has been holding Hikaru's hand.

"But isn't it weird that boys are holding hands with each other?

"... Indeed. Well, we don't have much traffic right now, so let's get rid of the signs."

In the end, he exhibited "mass blockade".

Then Lavia brought her body so close that Hikaru and her shoulders touched each other.

"Hehe."

"... I think the surprise is that way."

"Hmm? Did I say something?

"Nothing"

Upon entering the guild, it was time for the end of the day and there were few adventurers.

That was supposed to happen, too. It was Gloria alone at the counter.

Apparently, the shift is called Aurora from early morning to noon, Jill from morning to after noon, and Gloria from noon to the end of sunset.

Gloria just sent the adventurer home, so it made sense that she would be in charge at the end of the day.

"This is the Adventurer Alliance..."

Sometimes the adventurers seem to be few, and Hikaru went inside with Lavia.

I'm looking around for a moment.

The clothes I'm wearing aren't cheap either, so it also looked like I got lost somewhat incorrectly.

"Oh, well. Aren't you Mr. Hikaru?"

"Is Mr. Unken here?

"I am... but I don't think I can deal with you today for a bit. Is this the Redhorn Rabbit?

Gloria's guess is good and helpful.

"Since I'm going to judge and deliver, can you just assess the amount after tomorrow?

"It would help if you could do that. I'm sorry Mr. Unken said he wanted to assess himself."

"I don't mind, it's gonna be a dismantling exercise. Well, I might get bad meat because I'm not handy —— oh, and I'm gonna get my gut."

"Ha. Sure, the guild hasn't made a purchase, but that stuff, what do you use it for?

"The manager of Pasta Magic wanted it."

"... heh"

At that time, Gloria's eyes lit up and Hikaru didn't notice.

"Then I'll rent the dismantling yard behind you"

"Go ahead —— ah"

"Hmm?"

"Are your friends with Mr. Hikaru?

"Oh, yeah. —— Renklow, come here."

Once upon a time, Lavia bowed her head to Pepper and Gloria.

The smiling Gloria was exactly the Virgin's smile —— though Hikaru, who knows Gloria's belly blackness, honestly doesn't receive a smile.

"Will Mr. Renklow be an adventurer?

"Oh, yes... right, I want to be"

"So I'm going to register, huh?

Want some tea? It's as easy as it sounds.

It was Lavia who sparkled her eyes at Gloria's suggestion, but Hikaru interrupts there.

"Here, here. Don't take it personally. I thought you said your parents didn't give you permission to sign up for the guild.

"-- well, it was"

"Oh really... The Adventurer Guild is a decent organization, isn't it?

"Right. The organization."

"Oh. Mr. Hikaru, there's something in it."

"Some receptionists use their freshly registered Peepee Adventurers to run for the Bandit Guild. Sometimes people rot, even if the organization is good."

"Well. Is there such a terrible receptionist?

Gloria grinning.

Hikaru gives it back as a sneer, even though he thinks he can make a face like that.

"That's why I rent a demolition yard. Bye."

"Yes ~. Mr. Hikaru, let's talk about this again slowly, shall we?

"If I had a chance."

Hikaru takes Lavia to the demolition site. As always, Gloria is afraid she doesn't know what she's thinking.

"... Hikaru, sorry"

"What's up?

"There's no way I can register an adventurer..."

If you sign up, you'll get the name "Lavia".

It would be difficult if I signed up on that occasion.

"Sort of. In this country."

"... Huh?

"No, it's a domestic story that's being searched, isn't it? If you leave the country, you'll be fine. The Adventurer Alliance network is crossing borders, so why not just register as an Adventurer in another country?"

"Oh, uh, but... instead of staying in this city all the time?

"Not until it's almost cold. When it cools down, let's go anywhere. So don't look like that."

"--Hikaru"

Lavia approached and took Hikaru's arm.

Behind the dark adventurer guild, someone has never even seen it.

"... thanks"

whispered in my ear.

"Oh."

While I answered not so well, Hikaru felt warm again.
