Having run towards the place I had heard the voices from what I saw there was chaos

Eh? What is this? [1]

Did o bad, maybe

I did discover the children being unharmed [2]

For now it seems like their injuries are on the level of small scratches

The problem is

The monster that is currently in front of me

If I had to say whether the wolf-types we had been looking for were here, then well, yeah, they were

They were being held captive as the inferiors though

There was a monster that resembled an animal I had seen in a book in the past

But, if I recall correctly, that book was titled ‘Animals of the Sea’ wasn’t it?

No matter how you think about it, for that to be here in a forest eird

Eehto, if one bad that is called an ‘Octopus’ I think [3] [4]

The size is coh

Right now in front ofthe wolf-type s or what, and whirling them around

The size of the Octopus-typejust how s, that it could swing around 8 wolf-type monsters at the same time?

One, one was fatter

In the book it ritten that the part that looked like the head was the torso, and that the mouth and eyes are the place froin to spread out frouy? [5]

In the end it is but a monster that resembles an octopus after all

And norin with

As I observed it in that manner, our eyes met

Eh?

It has eyes on the part that I thought was the torso!

It’s nothing but a mock-octopus, then (1)

For no I got to rescue the children first

I called out to the children ere looking at the mock-octopus with in blank amazement/overcome with suprise

“Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Because a voice suddenly called out to it the child I talked to made a suprised expression

But seeing ed to me with teary eyes

“S-sc-scary~! Save us” [6]

Because of the fear it’s voice was tre

In order to cal them

“It alright First of all let us get away fro around those wolf-types, so let’s escape together”

As long as there were children here I couldn’t very well go and fight

As one ainst that nu theer

Just as ere trying to escape, the mock-octopos took notice of us and threolf-typearound

What’s ht over here

Since I was holding onto the children tightly I couldn’t draw my sword

p>[7]

In order to at least make sure that the children wouldn’t be har impact

Are?

That i

As I was turning around wondering about that I could see the figure of the round riddled with arrows throughout it’s body (2)

What is theof this?

Wondering that a person that shouldn’t have been here appeared

“Ririina, are you alright?”

The one who inquired so of me wasChris-sama (3)

Astonished I asked him

“Wh-why has Chris-sama come to a place like this?”

“Ririina, let’s leave that ht noe must protect the safety of those children It seems that the rest have arrived as well”

Upon those words appeared Thoma and the others

“Ririina! Are you alright!? To rush off alonehuh, who’s that?” (4)

Thoma surveyed Chris-sama cautiously

Oh, right, Thoma doesn’t know of the past Chris-sama, so even noouldn’t know

But this wasn’t the place for that

“Tho first alone Still, let’s not talk about that right now but later More iet these children safely back to the village?”
