Chapter Five: The Reality of the shi+eld

Upon exiting the castle, fields of grass extended in every direction

There was, at least, a cobblestone roadover the scenery, but once we left the town, it seereen

It reminded me of Hokkaido

It struckI could see both the expanse of the sky and the horizon itself I figured that running around in giddy excite I was the hero and all, and so I did my best to s my emotions

“Now then, Hero This land is filled with rather weak ood practice”

“Good idea I don’t have any experience with battles and all, so this seeood chance”

“Do your best”

“Huh? You’re not fighting with me, Myne?”

“Before I participate, I’d like to get a sense of your ability”

“Oh? All right then”

I suppose it only made sense She had more experience than I did, and of course she would want to see how strong I was

To start off, I thought I would fight a h for me

We poked around in the fields for a little while before spotting soe balloon

“There’s one now, Hero We call these ‘Orange Balloons,’ and they are rather easy to defeat”

Well that’s a stupid name There was a severe lack of creativity here

“Gah!”

It let out an angry cry and flashed aggressive eyes atits enemy status

And so a creature sort of like those balloons we put in fields to scare away the birds rushed to attack me

“You can do it, Hero!”

“Got it!”

I needed to look cool in the process, considering Myne was there and all

I held the shi+eld in ht hand, and made to hit the beast with the pointed tip

“Haa!”

I ed to connect withsure was resilient!

And I thought it was just going to pop…

The Orange Balloon reared back, bared its fangs, and caain

“Ah!”

I heard a clanging sound fro me

Oddly enough, there was no pain or irritation at all The Orange Balloon continued to bite my arm, but its attack seemed to have no effect

I felt like the shi+eld was e some kind of soft, defensive barrier around th of the shi+eld?

I silently looked over at Myne

“Do your best, Hero!”

It seee

“AAARRRRGGGHHHH!”

I puendary warrior

Five minutes later…

Pow!

With a soft puff of air, the Orange Balloon popped

“Huff… huff… huff…”

I heard a persistent beep, and saw that my experience meter now read: 1

I guess that meant I’d earned one EXP point
