Chapter 1 (2/2)

“To be delighted by showing me the reality which I don’t want to see… you’re the worst, pervert!”

“Then, I won’t tell you the way.”

“I’m sorry, please forgive me.”

Firia bows her head to me.

From onlookers, without a doubt I’ll become the bad one here… I’m glad that we’re at forest.

Nevertheless….

I’m looking at Firia who is bowing her head before me. Does elf filled with such a strange fellow?

How should I put it, they are more deplorable than what I thought. At first I thought that elf are, like, have a more perfect personification, but now I’m greatly disappointed.

…it’s just, well, rather than perfect, she’s easier to talk to. Perhaps the only reason we have quite a good affinity is simply because she is the first existence I meet who has a mutual understanding with me after this long time.

Well, the problem right now is whether I would be able to lead her come out from the forest, or not.

I don’t mind cooperating with her, but there’s one great problem here.

“I don’t mind cooperating with you, but… I also don’t know the way out, you know?”

“Eh!? Even though you just haughtily said ‘then, I won’t tell you the way’!?”

Ah, come to think of it, I said something like that, huh.

“Well sorry, don’t worry, don’t worry about it.”

“To tramping upon maiden’s pure heart….! The compensation won’t be cheap, you know…!”

Firia glares at me while saying so.

But, because she is shorter than me so it make her upturning her eyes toward me, to be frank, it isn’t scary at all.

“Well, what’s it, for now we need to do something about that first.”

I point toward Firia’s rear.

Incited by that, Firia also turns her face to her rear.

The one there is a magical beast which possesses several tentacles.

It’s a magical beast with carnivorous plant shape which is good at sinuously controlling its violet tentacles.

“Uhiyeaa!?”

Screaming such kind of improper voices again, Firia immediately takes some distance from that magical beast.

Firia’s distancing herself till around my place, and her body is s.h.i.+vering when she see its tentacles which are fluently moving sinuously.

“What’s up with that indecent appearance…. I feel a strong urge to run away which I never felt before. Should I do my best to run away here?”

“But those tentacles are quite tasty, you know? Seriously.”

Firia who was slowly retreating was suddenly stopped when she heard what I just said

“…Really?”

“Really.”

By just roasting that tentacle, it would become very tasty and it also would emitting its unique aroma.

Even I could say that inside this forest it has one of the most delicious flavor.

“Let’s fight it. If I run away here, I would bring shame to elf’s name.”

Completely different from earlier, now Firia is preparing to fight it.

Surprisingly she is quite a calculating fellow.

But, as if interrupting Firia, I say such.

“I just happen to want to eat it right now. So I’ll do it.”

When I think about food, I realized that I haven’t ate any meal. I feel so hungry to the point I feel like dying.

Isn’t by defeating it, I’ll be able to settle my hunger problem.

“Are you really going to be okay? That magical beast seems quite strong, though.”

“Hmm? Ah, leave it to me.”

I turn toward Firia who is at my rear and say so. And then, Firia’s expression is changed. From an uneasy expression into fl.u.s.tered expression.

“Watch out! Front, Yuri-san, front!”

“Hmm?”

When I turn my face as per she says, a wind magic which is fired by the magical beast is approaching before my eyes.

The edge of the wind is clas.h.i.+ng my body as it is, and make a cloud of dust.

“No, no way…?!”

Firia’s voice is shaking.

Perhaps, she thinks that I’ve dead.

Well, it isn’t strange to think as such, though.

“I’m going…!”

Using my trained legs’ muscles to rus.h.i.+ng out from the cloud of dust, I cut my gap with the magical beast.

I give the dumbfounded magical beast a light punch at its belly as it is.

And the magical beast is collapsing there while screaming a seeming painful voices.

Its tentacles are keep moving for a while, but those movement are stopped before long.

“Fuu….!”

After killing the magical beast, I drag its body toward Firia’s place.

“What, what happened…?”

Firia’s beautiful face is dyed with surprised expression. Even it make her to open both of her silver eyes wide, seems like it’s quite a shock for her.

I answer her as if it’s something trifling.

“Ah, magic is ineffective at me. Because I’ve trained my body, after all.”

Right, that’s the reason I was able to live by myself inside this forest.

My trained body is, won’t be injured by any kind of magic.

So literally, magic is ineffective at me.

Whether it fire magic, water magic, lightning magic, wind magic or earth magic, all kind of magic are vanished before tough body. So I’m invincible at my enemy’s magic. It’s a great advantage at a life stacking battle. That’s why, it was the reason I was able to survive thus far.

“Magic is ineffective…? Because you’ve trained…? …Isn’t that too absurd?”

Firia who is listening to my explanation is mumbling midway as if shocked.

“Even if you say that. It can’t be helped right since ineffective things are ineffective, after all.”

“Un~fa~ir~”

“Are you a kid?”

To Firia who was talking like a kid, I unintentionally say so while smiling in shock.

“Let’s take a meal before we go out from this forest. You’re going to eat, too, right?”

“Then I’ll gladly take it. What kind of taste that tentacles would make, I’ll antic.i.p.ating it!”

“For now, let’s come inside first.”

And thus, I invite the person who stopped in front of my house into my house.
