Chapter 60: The smell of the first battle is hoodlu, we considered the possibility of being attacked by bandits on the road to town To put it si a fair profit in the town, and we also had horses So, the three of us decided on a strategy in case ere ever attacked

Pattern A was if we ran into a group of thieves that use projectile weapons

Pattern B was if we ran into a nuans

Pattern C was if ere attacked by de with pattern B

Marina's role was to call for the military police if ere near the town, or Shello-san or Rebeccsan if ere near the ht too Marina's job is to protectas she was currently the best on horseback, no one else was suitable for this role other than Marina Once Diana's horse riding i that role to her instead, but in Diana's case there was the possibility of Diana being the target of the thieves, so it was difficult It was terrible to say this, but from that perspective it would be better to send the Turk tribe, Marina, instead

Now… Until Shello-san and the others arrived, it was my role to buy time, or perhaps even defeat thehtly in both hands I had felt it before when training with Shello-san, but readyingtowards the dangerous side Shello-san had said that many swordsmen vocations jump head-first into battle and ended up dead When it came to battle—even if they were bandits—I wasn't ready to kill anyone I just had to buy tiht Shello-san here If possible, I didn't want to experience battles yet

”But you bandits sure are stupid There's an elf on our side, you know? Did you think it would work out soave them one more chance

In this world, elves were considered one of the strongest battle forces In a world where ic were a wonder to behold In other words, mere human bandits should be terrified of elves, which should act as a deterrent fro attacked to a point… but

Well, ours were a bit of an exception

”Ahh, dauys, kill that one already Don't hurt the elf”

However, the bandits took no notice of e…

Weren't they afraid of spiritnot to hurt the elf, does that mean Diana was their aim? There was no way bandits like this should know that Diana couldn't use spirit ic handlers because they were stupid That was also possible… right?

Well then, I guess all that was left was the actual battle

According to our plan, the thieves would falter here, and ould buy tio as planned

Battle

Three opponents

I had gone through Shello-san's hellish training many times, to the point I had received Shello-san's own acknowledgement that 'you won't be defeated by your everyday bandit' I had received it, but…

…No, now that it'd cohter than training, and my teacher had been Shello-san, the famous deputy of the an

I held my sword and looked at the opponent On the order of the leader, the other two young bandits drew their swords at the sa ordinary broadswords It was h, I didn't feel any fear

The bandits completely underestimated me, as they moved to enclose me from both sides While it was troublesome to take on two people at the saly cal so much, I couldn't feel any spirit in the that I was a defencelessup to now has been within our expectations We're going to stop them as planned Try not to use our secret weapon But if an accident occurs, don't hesitate to use it”

”Leave it to ht”

Diana's eyes burned with a sparkling fire It was a little scary

From that point onwards, we didn't need any words All that was left was to suppress them by force!

”O-Oi! We didn't hear 'bout this! Y-You, how can a simple merchant boy move like that? And what is that sword! What didya do to 'eers Diana, tighten the restraints on those guys”

”Certainly, ufufufu”

”T-The grass is…! Stop! daood substitute for training At least I know that I can easily win against three men with no battle-type vocations for now”
