Chapter 7.1 (2/2)

But I did not say anything because I feel like an arrow would fly back at me if I do so.

Even though I did not see her in a terrible mood, and her long golden flowing hair that has three braids on her left side suiting her, that beauty now has become frightening.

d.a.m.n ittt, she is so beautiful but she is a such a disappointing (残念) elf doh (-め suffix).  (TL: 残念 – zannen – Not satisfying but it remains in the heart; unwilling to accept it.)

[What is it? Is there any problems?]

Emilia who felt fear during the Giant Moles’ attacks look over at me.

You’re making me look like I have a serious problem here.

W-what should I do? I only feel like there’s a PK waiting to happen.

If I am wrong, it will be utter humiliation.

If they did not do something that is out of hand, I cannot attempt to move first.

Should I escape as soon as possible?

No, wait, they have three people and an archer who has strong ranged attack. If I escape without planning it will be pointless.

Logging out will mean that I will be defenseless for ten seconds, and any attacks will cancel my log out.

Using the Spider-net magic to try and escape is also impossible.

The spell might reduce the speed in moving and attacking, but it does not affect the arrows from an archer.

Escaping from them is impossible. If my prediction is true, reality would be me losing with an arrow in my back as a reward.

It is fine if I’m attacked, I should just prepare for battle at any given time.

If they attack me, I will prepare by readying my staff anytime, and since I leveled up and got a new skill, I will ready myself to use it and wait for them.

Therefore. The atmosphere surrounding us changed.

I am so anxious that I make a sound in my throat.

And in the darkness I see a human-like figure appearing.

Is this be your accomplice!

I stare behind Liam and see a dull object being raised.

….. No, that’s not someone friendly!

[Fire arrow!]

A flaming arrow flies towards Liam’s direction.

[Chaos! What the h.e.l.l are you doing!]

Cornelia yelled.

The flaming arrow that is as bright as the lantern flies past Liam, and strikes something behind him.

[Gyah! What the heck….. Ehh!]

Liam yelled in a reproachful voice before he realized something was amiss behind him.

The Fire Arrow magic spell had lit the place and burned in a small area.

The flames wrap something that is moving about. More importantly, it is becoming clear as to what the situation is.

There is a skeleton monster!

[A Skeleton—! There are other monsters here!]

[I see. No matter how you look at it the Kobolds are too weak. It is probably because of the skeletons staying here that diminished their numbers.]

[Then the way how you emitted so much killing intent to warn us is your goal right?]

[You realized there’s something over here huh. As expected of you—]

…….. No, wait, why are you reading so much into it

I am actually more scared that you were going to PK me, but I simply saw a skeleton monster behind you.

But I cannot convey that to you.

………….

[It’s a fluke.]

Even though Liam says I’m too modest to the point of being disagreeable, it is really a fluke!

Why are you looking at me with such respect, stop it!

Your gazes are really painful!

Utter humiliation!

I am on the alert because I am suspicious of the reality that you might PK me — I can’t spit that out!

I think my face is really red now, but I don’t think anyone realize that.

In the end the results are good, but what will happen if it’s not for the skeleton?

Thank you, Skeleton, for being there.

You saved me, truly.

If I think carefully there really is not many advantages to PK me.

I don’t have a lot of gold or item with me.

Even if you organize a party to PK, why would they want to invite me from the town that has so many people on the streets?

Even if they want to PK me, they would have done so during the hunt which would be more efficient.

I wonder how terrible is the misunderstanding.

There probably is nothing worse than that right?

I am really the lowest sc.u.m. Even though they had invited me with a pure heart — I truly do not have the face to look at these nice people.

Therefore I should take my distance from them temporarily after the quest is done.

After the quest is done, we return to Meldor to receive the rewards and I log out quickly during the daytime.
