Chapter 2 (1/2)

Muscle Magic – 2

Surprisingly he’s the type who is carrying a handkerchief

In front of us, there are a line up of emptied wooden plate.

“Haa, I’ve eat a lot….. I can’t eat anymore….”

Firia says so while patting her belly, the amount she ate was very small, just around a tenth of mine.

“I thought you are were glutton, but unexpectedly you’re quite a light eater, huh.”

Since she said ‘tasty, tasty’ so I thought the food was into her liking, but seems like her stomach wasn’t that big.

“I want to eat more-desu, but my stomach was full way too quickly. I’m so envious to Yuri-san who is able to eat that much-desu.”

“Your appearance looks so light, after all. How about increasing the weight a bit more?”

I observe Firia’s body once again.

Even though she said that her belly was full from eat, there’s no change at her slender body.

When I’m staring at Firia like that, she cross her hands as if to hide her modest chest.

“Ah, at Yuri-san’s mind, I’m being defiled….”

“Don’t just arbitrarily accuse me like that!”

“What, it’s wrong, huh. Then I’m relieved.”

While lightly laughing as if joking, Firia stands up while saying ‘Oi sho’.

“Thank you for the meal. It was very delicious-desu.… well then, I think I should leave soon.”

“Wait a minute.”

I call Firia who is standing and intending to leave my house.

She inclines her neck as if asking ‘What’s up?’.

To such Firia, I tell her my honest feeling.

“I become want to leave this forest, too. Is it okay if I go along with you till the outside the forest?”

I never felt lonely ever since I lived alone inside this forest.

I also had no dissatisfaction with my livelihood here, since there was the fact that I could just got some magical beast as my meal myself.

But, I met her.

Firia is indeed a strange fellow, but she isn’t a bad person. Or rather, personally, perhaps I could say that she is a kind person.

I never had any thought to leave this forest. Perhaps, I unconsciously evaded such a thought.

But, by talking with Firia, my interest to the outside world which I’d unconsciously locked, was flowing out.

I want to know about many more various thing.

I want to go to more various place.

I want to meet more various people.

–and then, above all, I want to become stronger.

Such feeling is quickly filling my heart.

I have no skill to block such rampaging desires.

Firia who hear my word is looking at the ground and looks like a bit hesitated, and then she looks at me.

“Then, let’s go together? I also just left my village so I fell a bit anxiety, after all, I fell more rea.s.sured by having Yuri-san together with me.”

“Ooh! Best regards!”

And so, I decided to leave my house which I’ve been live at for a long time.

I and Fria are walking through the deep forest.

To Firia who isn’t out of breath even though we have been walking for such a long time, I secretly astonished. Contrary to her frail looking appearance, surprisingly she has quite a stamina in her.

“We still can’t see the exit, huh. Yuri-san, are you still alright?”

On the contrary, she even has the leeway to worrying about me.

“I’m all right. Or rather, I’m surprised that Firia has that much stamina.”

“Elf is resident of the forest, after all. Except a place outside the forest, as long as we are inside the forest, it’s just as if strolling at the park.”

Firia says so while puffing her modest chest.

“Resident of the forest who lost inside the forest, right….”

“You’ve promised that you won’t say that again, right.”

While exchanging such words, I and Firia are roaming around the forest.

And then, from ahead of us, there’s a voices as if some trees are being pushed through.

“A magical beast?”

“Then, now is my turn to show my ability, right?”

Firia flatly says so while facing the appearing magical beast.

That magical beast’s height, which walking with its four legs, is around Firia’s waist. It has a splendid horn at its forehead, even inside this forest, it’s quite a strong one. Moreover its meat is tasty, for me it’s a magical beast which has low cost performance. I don’t know its name, though.

“Gargas, huh. Seems like I shouldn’t go easy here.”

Seems like the magical beast before us is called gargas.

“Please die.”

Firia points her palm to the magical beast, and shooting a water edge.

With ultra high speed, the fired water edge is piercing through the magical beast from its mouth till its end in one go.
