Chapter 17 (2/2)

All that said, for there to be a sighting of as reater number than we had heard of in recent times I think

For there to be so le location, it was similar to the encounter size of the outbreak back then

Since the sighting alone told of around 20 there was a change that there would actually be more monsters than that so ould have to brace ourselfs for that

In the e

The village’s gate was closed tightly

We gave a signal to the surveillance guard at the top of the gate

With that they swiftly opened the gate for us

We quickly passed through the gap that appeared and entered the village

The guard run over to us

“You are the reinforce all this way! You’ll hear the detailed circue chief’s”

We were guided by the guard and headed to the house of the village chief

“Ooh~ you’ve done well to come! Thank you verytime our reactions were too slow and there were soize”

“Not at all, you sent out a ht ahich is e could be here so quickly On that note, what is the dae report?”

Is what Thoma inquired

“Yes, thankfully, while we have soht But beyond repelling the e to defeat thee As for the one’soutside around 20 were sighted”

Nh? Meaning there would be around 30 overall, wouldn’t there

That’s quite a number

As I was thinking so the village chief said to me

“Nh? Perhaps, could it be the one over there is Ririina-saot attacked by monsters in the past it was also you who had come to save us then Even this time Ririina-sama personally came for us ”

For soe chief seemed emotionally moved

Co monsters in the past there was a time where I came here as well, wasn’t there

And come to think of it, even back then it was pretty much the same mood

“Chief, for now let us return to the topic of the monsters, shall we?”

“Ooh~ right, right Theus out from the nearby forest, it seems So we’re troubled because we can’t enter that forest now This time’s monsters consist of monkey-types and wolf-types”

Monkey and wolf-types, huh

Either of which are speedy, agile types

“Well then chief, ill now be going to subjugate those monsters in the forest which is why please e in theout!”

Upon Thoma’s words we quickly prepared and headed for the forest

When we entered the forest I could feelat us from all around

And right away there was aour at us from a tree

This reminds me of Brother in the past

At that time I parried him with my sword, but this time I won’t show restraint! [3]

I slashed through the round

My coure of rown up Ririina-sama is still Ririina-sama’

What does that mean?

Seeing how their kin got done in the other monkey-types all jumped out at us at once

They were descending fro from the trees [4]

As expected of everyone, they were used to battles as well and were reliably bringing down one monster at a time

I too continued to slash away at the ly descented from above

Looking around it seems we had defeated around 15 of them already

However, we hadn’t encountered even a single one of the wolf-types that we had been informed about

They were probably still deeper in the forest

At that ti could be heard from deeper within

That isthe voice of a child! [5]

I broke into a run the moment I noticed
