Chapter 1 E 20 (Restraint)
-Sixth days after he was summoned to another word- Restraint
Zaza
Within the forest, A sound indicating so pushed the plants can be heard
A day and a half had passed since Ryouma went north from Aru town and entered the forest
There's no sight of Laura and Sara around him
After they had finished the preparation for ca at Aru town, Ryouma alone entered the forest
Darkness dominated the forest
Even the blinking light of the stars and h trees
”For now, nothing happen”
Ryou up his body under a tree aftera fire pit in front of him
At most, he only starts to ether for only about two days
He thought, at least everyone can forgive so sentimental if they had been summoned to a different world so suddenly
He looked around while eating the dried ht at the town
Even though it's only have been one day and a half, Ryou to walked around strayed frohway
Of course, there's no powerful enemy that Ryouma can't handle
Although hethat far of a detour
Even so, he felt overwhelmed by the sheer number
They say one can fall into a vicious circle where he was to kill a monster, due to the smell of blood of the monster he killed the other monsters would hunt him
Although he doesn't realize it when he hunted the wild dog, at the tihway if he felt tired; naturally, it felt different when an attack will come at him continuously without much time left for him to take some rest
(Finally, here they come?)
The skin on his body that is currently resting in front of a fire feels the air surrounded hie
He feels a gaze from within the dark forest
Not a gazes that comes from a monster
It's
It also not the gaze of an adventurer who passes through the forest just like him either
In fact, if it's them, they would immediately call out if they want to warm themselves
And if one's coht mistake them as a thief and receive the first strike
Besides, they are not a thief either
Since he does not feel any greed froaze
He has no doubt that the gaze was appraising hi hiazing=”” at=”” a=”” =”” him=”” for=”” how=”” rich=”” they=”” are?=”” that=”” kind=”” of=”” a=”” gaze=””>
Ryouma put his hand on the sword handle
No matter who they are he will retaliate i attacked
Then a voice of a man resounded
”It looks like I've surprised you I beg your pardon ”
Ryouma put a bit of power in his hand
”Well well No need to be cautious I would like to borrow a little bit of your time, would you mind?”
Such an irritating way of speaking
Although his voice sounds polite, there's also pressure to make him unable to say no
”That's fine with me ”
Gasa Gasa
Sounds of tree branches being pushed can be heard the moment Ryouma said those words
A slight agitation appears on Ryouma's face the ed from the forest
He has a 7:3 kind of hairstyle
A thin oval shaped face
With height approximately 170cm
He has the appearance that won't make him looks suspicious even if he were to walk on an ordinary street in japan
Although no japanese salarya sword
”Oh? What's wrong?”
The man swiftly asks Ryouma when he saw Ryouma's expression
”No I just feel surprised that it was not a thief”
The man smiled at Ryouma's remark
”No no no Please do pardon me May I sit here?”
Without waiting for Ryouma's answer, the man immediately sits down in the opposite direction of him
”I don't re you to sit down?”
Although the et daunted
On the contrary, theselfishly instead
”Well~ I only want to ask 2-3 question after all ”
Ryou up since he felt that saying anything would be just a waste of time
”You looks like an adventurer, but, what are you doing in this forest? are you doing some work?”
Then Ryouma answered the man's question honestly,
”At the time I was in Aru town I heard that the border was blocked Moreover, there's information that it is unknohen the probleh via the forest Well, since I was confidence with my ability, I've prepared to camp out ”
”Hou Is that how it is? But still, You don't seem to have much concern huh? No matter how much you are confident with your ability, but to think that you decide to cross the forest by yourself Are you in lots of hurry or so pursued by someone?”
The man's eyes narrowed
”No I just thought that it was better forthe blockade to be opened again ”
”I see, I see ”
Ryouma then asked the man in return
”So now, for what purpose did you ask such question eagerly?”
”Ooh I' slow My name is Saitou Hideaki I serve as the deputy leader of Ortohts] ”
(I know it, so he's part the pursuers but Saitou? looking at his outward appearance he looks like a japanese, but)
Ryou back the question that appeared on his mind
Since it would be better for him to pretend as an adventurer when he already knoho his opponent is
”Why a deputy leader such as you been doing inside a forest?”
”I cannot say ht that the ht escape via the forest and run away toward another country ”
”Hee? There's such a man huh? What did he do?”
Saitou looked at Ryouma with bitter expression then answers him,
”No I'm sorry, I can't say it It was confidential information, see”
This is so that Ryouma had expected Saitou understands that he has no reason to tell Ryou here
