The Splendor or Muscle Magic

After several days wandering around the forest.

“…Oh. I can see it, the exit.”

Finally we’re able to go outside the forest.

“Aah! We’re really come out form the forest, right!”

I say ‘yes’ to Firia who just came out from the forest.

“Of course I like to live inside the forest, but as expected having a wide field of view sure is relaxing, right. The possibility to be attacked by magical beasts is also low, after all.”

“That’s indeed right.… Sorry Firia, may I ask for some water?”

Because we’ve be walking since morning, or perhaps because I feel a bit exhausted since we finally able to come out from the forest. Either way, I feel that my throat is so thirsty. Firia is showing a somewhat reluctant expression when she pouring water into my hands which I make it into a shape of bowl.

“Thanks.”

“It isn’t something great.”

The cold water is flowing to my throat. It feels like my body is being healed from the bottom of my heart.

“…even though magic is ineffective to you, but to drink the water which is produced by magic is, really unfair, right~”

“Is that so? Well, even this body isn’t invincible, after all.”

Magic is ineffective at me, but that doesn’t necessarily means it would affect my opponent.

I could only repel any magic with my body’s tough trait.

That’s why, if I receive a magic which is more powerful than my body, I’ll just normally take some damage. Well, something like that was never happened even once thus far, though.

“Then, what should we do from now on? Parting here, or perhaps journeying together?”

“I’ve been thinking about it since several days ago, but if Yuri-san don’t mind it, is it okay for me to accompanying you? Since I won’t be bored if I together with you.”

“Yuri’san are also strange, after all.” So Firia add.

I think the one who’s strange here isn’t me, but you though.

“Moreover, since elf is a reclusive race, we don’t left the forest that much. With appearance which greatly exceed normality, seems like we were being favored highly, I even heard that we might be targeted by slave merchant…. That’s why, well, I want to be protected~, or so.”

Firia bashfully says so with her body unnaturally wriggling.

“What would be the benefit for me?”

“Like, you’ll be able to be together with the beautiful me.”

While putting her finger to her soft looking cheek, she say that is if that is a matter of course thing.

“…is that a benefit?”

“No matter how you think about it, it’s a benefit, you know. Moreover, if it’s for my own sake, I won’t feel any guilt for exploiting someone!”

Firia declares so br.i.m.m.i.n.g with energy. With a triumphant look I never see before.

“…no, I think saying such a thing right before me is no good, though.”

What? Even though she looks like a good headed one, could it be she’s an airhead? Well, personally, someone who would say such a thing is more comfortable for me, though.

Her head seems like lacking but she’s quite proficient at fighting.

“Ah, that’s because I used “Mind Reading”, Yuri-san have no hidden face, and seems like you’re more prefer someone who says anything what she thinks as it is. I think that’s quite a perverted preference, but I’ll tolerate it if it’s just at that extent. And above all, I’m the one who is asking Yuri-san, after all.”

…before I know it she starts talking as if it’s already a decided matter that she would accompanying me.

Or rather, doesn’t she said too much about what she think?

I could only sighing ‘haa’.

Well, the one who gave me the impetus to go outside the forest was Firia.

So I shouldn’t just flatly reject her request, right?

“Just do as you please.”

“Okay~. Then I’ll arbitrarily accompany you.”

“…ah.”

I stop my legs.

“Is there something matter?”

Firia also stopped behind me.

“Firia, do you know where the town is?”

“There’s no way I know it, right? Since when I was nonchalantly walking I came to that forest, after all. In the first place, I even don’t know where we are currently is. The only think I know is, human is the most prosperous race in all humanity, or so I heard.”

“…are you kidding me, you really don’t know anything, huh.”

“On the contrary, Yuri-san, since you’re a human, don’t you know at least town’s location?”

Firia asks me that question

Fuu, what a foolish question.

I answer that br.i.m.m.i.n.g with smile.

“Do you think I who had been shut myself in that forest ever since my childhood would know such a thing?”

“No, that isn’t something you should be proud of, right?”

When she says so, that’s indeed right.

Ignoring Firia who is looking at me with half opened eyes, I search for some clues which may lead us to a town.

And then, I successfully find a great clue.

“We sure are lucky, we don’t need to worry anymore.”

“What do you mean?”

To Firia who asks so while inclining her head, I extend my hand and point out one of my finger.

“I can see a castle wall over there. So there must be a town, right?”

“…castle, wall?”

While furrowing her eyebrows, she says that with puzzled expression.

Seems like Firia can’t see it.

“Yuri-san sure have a good eyes, right?”

“Well, I’ve trained it, after all”

“Training your eyes is, what’s that…?”

And with that, we start walking toward that castle wall.

“Yuri-san, do you have any hobby?”

When we are walking toward the town, perhaps bored, Firia ask me so.

Hobby, huh…. Inside the forest, the things I could do were very limited, after all.

I start recalling what I usually do thus far.

And then, I remember it.

“Ah, I love to train my body. Like muscle training.”

I forgot it since for me that was a very usual thing to do, but I love to train my body.

Inside the forest which gave me low field of view, there would be always a possibility that I may receive a surprise attack from my rear. So if I didn’t train my body and something like that happened, I would be immediately sent to the after world.

That’s why I made sure to always train every possible trained part like my eyes, nose and muscle.

Well, even without that, I simply love to train my body.

“Come to think of it, when we still inside the forest, you said something about your muscle, right? Like because you’ve trained it so magic is ineffective on it, or something as ambiguous as such, after all…. Hmm~, but unexpectedly I can barely see any muscle at your body, though….”

While staring at my body, Firia ask that with a rude look.

My body is indeed couldn’t be called as muscular.

My body is more robust compared to Firia, but perhaps my appearance won’t be much different from an ordinary man or at best a bit more muscular than them.

“I intentionally keep this form, after all. However, it would be different when I seriously fighting, you know?”

I say that while putting power into my body.

And then, my body is quickly transformed into the form which I usually use when I was seriously fighting.
