What do you do?

”What should we do?

A few hours after our escape from the monster, we got away safely and were moving with the plan to camp by the river, near sunset.

Since night is not even a word in Isual, where the sun never sets, this cloudy sky is starting to hide the sun, and this cloudy sky seems to take the place of night.

To be honest, it's just a strange feeling.

But I didn't have time to get used to that feeling of discomfort, and once again, Memoria and I were in trouble.

”You're under attack.

”You've been attacked.

By the way, do you know that guy by chance?

”This is our first meeting.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get away from the monster, because Memoria knew exactly where she was while she was running away from the monster.

So this escape drama was worth the effort, and it could be said that the effort was positive.

I was a little tired, but I made more than the target distance, and I thought I would be able to rest today with time to spare.

Just then, events led to the present.

Somebody's coming,” said Memoria, and we took shelter on the big tree to avoid unnecessary trouble.

I hid my breath to let it pass, but I could sense that they were getting closer and closer, and I waited a few minutes.

This time, a group of five regular humans, not like the monsters, will appear and try to pass by your feet.

Just when you thought you were almost ready to rest, you were interrupted, and you wanted them to leave quickly with a grudge.

Maybe it was a mistake, or maybe it's called a flag, but they couldn't get past it.

Because they were attacked by Forest Bear, who appeared with a roar.

Since you came here, you've been promised one trouble after another, and it will happen in the future as well, won't it? I was almost sick to my stomach as I looked from Memoria, who was sitting next to me, to my feet again.

”Didn't you scatter it?

”No, it's smaller than the last hint, so it's a different individual, and that's Forest Bear, a Hexenbiest that doesn't move while the sun is up, so it must have just happened.

”I didn't notice it because the signs were asleep and faint: ......

All I can say is, the timing is wrong. It seems that the knights are the ones who raided the territory of the bad-tempered Forest Bear in his sleep, considering the direction that the hexenbiest came from.

Knights.

The memorabilia is based on the equipment worn by the people underneath them in their professions.

Well, they're well equipped.

From my point of view, full-body metal armor fits the image of the knights we often hear about in novels.

One of them is lightly armed, but not the other?

It was five days from here to the city, wasn't it?

”Roughly, that's if you travel normally, so there are many ways to shorten it.

”So it's possible to come here in a day, you're here to investigate in response to our magic?

It's possible, but unlikely. The cover-up function was also at work. Unless there's a saint or a class of heroes in the vicinity, it's reasonable to assume it's unlikely.

”What are the chances that the brave men will struggle with that hexenbiest?

It's a bit of an early battle.

So the chances of him coming to investigate us are extremely low.

It's a relief for now, but the question still remains why the knight came to this place and what he or she belongs to.

At times like this, I would like to gather information: ......

The knights are battling a giant-armed forest bear with deep green fur at our feet.

Although we are outnumbered five to one, the knights are getting outnumbered as time goes by.

The only way to gather information, other than by observation, is to come in to help and fight with them. ......

”Then all we have to do is wait for the storm to pass, and the only thing we can do is ignore it.

”Yes, there is a risk, but not a benefit to contacting a knight in our position.

The choice is to remain silent and wait in the trees.

Memoria is right, it's not the kind of information you're willing to risk to get.

You'll win if you fight, but then it's a hassle.

If you keep promising trouble this much, you're going to get into human trouble next time.

Miko-sama run!

”Priestess?

”You mean that backwards wizard?　And then that equipment and coat of arms ......

It smells like a big shot, but it smells like trouble.

I didn't catch the last part, but if you look at where the memoria points, there's only one person wearing a white robe.

From the way he behaved, he could be a healer and wizard.

But no matter how you look at it, there just isn't enough firepower against Forest Bear, and finally a knight has been killed.

It was a wake-up call, and the flow of the battle was completely carried by Forest Bear.

The knight that was killed is not dead, but it will take some time for him to return to the front.

It's just a matter of time before he's back in the line of fire.

It would be bad luck to leave them to die, but I'm even less inclined to stick my neck out and get into trouble.

I'll keep my head down and let it pass, and I'm comfortable with that choice.

”?　......!　Grab the memory!

But it seems that the captain-like knight's cry was a bad move.

Forest Bear's movements have changed slightly, and he pounces on the so-called miko who was trying to move backwards from her knight.

For the beast, it's probably a move to keep its prey from escaping.

And it's not wrong for a human being to try to avoid a giant arm that is clothed in magic and blatantly proclaims that it's a killing move.

Even I do that, I understand.

If it weren't for the giant tree we're using as a foothold in the direction of our path, I would understand.

Really?

”Like a real

”You're so cool!

It seems that Forest Bear is more powerful than we thought, and his swinging arm successfully gouged the big tree.

As a result

”What a guy!

I'm a refugee!

We were forced to fall according to gravity.

Despite our efforts to hide, we were forced into battle.

Holding the memoria, I reached out to jump to another tree, but I couldn't reach it, and I fell to the ground.

Fortunately, I didn't have a problem landing, but I didn't want to land between Forest Bear and the knight.

In addition, the captain-like knight was alarmed by the sudden appearance of the knight from above, which means you can't escape the event, right?

For now, hide the memoria behind your back and pull out the mineral tree to prepare for both forest bears and knights.

You're an adventurer!

Didn't you say refugees?

Well, when you're in a place like this and you're dressed like Jiro, you can't help but be mistaken for someone else.

I called myself a refugee, meaning I was running away in a tree, but the other side didn't seem to hear me.

You're still dressed like you're challenging the dungeon, so you're certainly right.

It's a good thing that your ears will be at least closed for the day, as my attempt to avoid the battle in response to a woman's voice coming from inside the hood of my robe, it's literally come down to the knights who want a little strength in a desperate situation.

You can feel the vibe that there is no way not to get involved.

I'm Eshley Ria Mikard, touring priestess of the priesthood state of Trice, please join forces with me and we will get through this together.

And to belong to a religious state in a major country.

It's the last thing I would want to see if I could.

There was a one-in-three chance, but after this incident, I think it would be best to stay away from gambling for a while.

What to do about ......

”It's no use if it comes to this. I'll get this out of the way, but for now, eliminate the danger. The other side can't seem to wait.

Looks like.

We'll deal with the people we can talk to later for now.

Now let's make sure to target our target and deal with the uncommunicative people who are likely to attack us.

Don't show your skills, if you can help it.

”Aiyo.

According to the order of the memoria, you can organize a battle without using cries of war and slashing.
