Chapter 28 (2/2)

“Did so happen, Feirona-san, Renji-sama?”

“Yeah, a little Mururu you s weird?”

“Nothing different The whole forest has a rotting smell”

She grimaced as she answered that

In such situations, the enhanced s ability of beast men come in handy here but this forest was an exception to that

“Did a troublesome monster appear maybe?”(aya)

“It is a skeleton Probably an Ogre or chimera type……”

“To speak in Souichi’s words, a boss character?”

“That’s a nostalgic word But yeah, so like that”

Back then ays called ain At first we really treated this as a game after all Different world Fantasy world We were excited froic ruled So excited that we had forgotten that swords take life and ere always near death’s door

At the same time, I also felt my nervousness fade a little as well

After three years I felt that I really have changed To kill and get killed Even though I’m on an adventure unbelievable fro in theotten too used to this world as well

“Boss?”

“Meaning a strong one, so like the ht beco time”

As expected, the others did knohat a ‘boss character’

“It will be easy as long as Aya blows it away”

[Why are you co on others………… I’m here as well, you know?]

“Skeletons would be too tough for me”

Saying that I shrugged h It can’t be helped after all; I gave an excuse I could destroy it with an axe or ha either of those Even spears are difficult to swing around

Also, rather than going into close coood with, it is et aith long-range ic attacks

It doesn’t want to cut zohosts And the skeleton will be too uess itthis whole journey till now

Though in ht person at the right job It’s not necessary forthrough the forest, Vanguard is left to Mururu and ghosts are taken care of by Aya and Ms Francesca Since would have been bad if I did nothing, I’ to make sure everybody else can make the best of their abilities That’s also an important job in a party

“fufu, it’s fine I have also becoo”

Aya said that by puffing her chest proudly on top of the horse How dependable

Also, if you beco you to protect , okay?

Even though she was already er has she gotten now? I think sooner or later she really h to take down the Deic battle

“That’s good to know”(renji)

“we also have Renji-sama as well”(fran)

[that’s true]

“Unfortunately, I’ll just be in the way this time”

[……Oi]

Bringing out the er

I have the will to fight but there’s no one here that needs to be protected by er than me Even Ms Francesca has becoer than me but she should be able to protect herself at least

In such a case, only one of ht That is not oblins In such a situation, it would be difficult for re or chimera type

To be unable to fight with a stable level of power is one of the biggest weaknesses of my cheat There are tiainst oblins or orcs yet there are tiainst even boss class monsters

I don’t even kno hed once again Aya looked at nore it

“Well, let’s quickly take care of this After the sun sets, the enee”

“That’s true”

I agreed with Feirona’s words It would be troublesoht

Due to the different world coer physical body than norician she is much weaker than someone like Souichi

It would be better if ent all out on attack and finish it quickly, just to be safe

“For the ti by the direction of the footsteps, that skeleton see that way as well”

“Yes Please tell me when you find it”

“Got it”

But, well, it would be better if we did not meet it at all, I think

I want to avoid useless battles NoAya is, it’s never certain how the battle proceed

Younot just yourself but you comrades as well due to some unexpected situation The safest would be to escape this forest without everthat skeleton

“I really want to get out of this forest already”(Renji)

[…muu]

“Why are you sulking?”

[During this journey, I have done absolutely nothing at all……]

I don’t really h In fact, this partner of mine should learn how to depend on its cory that I depend too much on mine

“I don’t really mind either”

Aya must have heard it’s voice as well since she was also consoling it She really is cute in ti others most of the time, this has more impact

“Depend on me a bit more, Eru”(aya)

[but still…]

“It will h?”

I listened to their conversation as I controlled my horse so as to not fall back behind the others

Depend on me, eh?

Well, unlike th to backup those words so there shouldn’t be any probleth I tried to be like that which is why I failed so many times Just because I’ But well, because I worked hard like that, I was able to gain the trust of my comrades

You really don’t kno your actions could lead to any result in this world

[…… I know]

The voice that answered Aya seemed somewhat proud

[That’s why I want to be depended upon as well, by Renji]

——- how should I answer to that?

How should I take those words? What is the trueall that, I shook my head

“I do depend on you, partner”

[I want to be depended upon like a weapon, partner]

That would be impossible

After all you are my comrade that I trust the most

Kakaka, when I laughed like that, Ms Francesca and Mururu turned to look towards me Since they cannot hear Erhing so suddenly

This is also getting a bit troublesome as well Maybe after some more time, I should let them hear Ermenhilde’s voice as well Well, it depends on my own convenience after all It’s only allowed to ht?
