Chapter 44

‘Don’t get hurt’

Glancing at the man who left just now, the whispered words echoed and tickled et hurt

If I get hurt, it would only put me in a difficult spot

The opponent who came down from the tree was clothed entirely in black, even his face The only part that wasn’t covered was his eyes

With that appearance, and while even doing a forward roll after juave the impression of ‘Yeah, I came here to kill someone today’

“State your business Why are you after us?”

I knew that he wouldn’t answer, but I asked this cliché question anyway

And, just as expected, the opponent did not answer

Instead of that, he threay his bow and quiver to the ground, then pulled a sword from his side

‘That doesn’t look like a sword that knights use…’

It looked about half as short as a nor

Even so, it didn’t look like so, but more for practical use But rather than for protection, it looked like it wassomeone else

In the next moment, a silent confrontation ensued

I knew that they wouldn’t answer anyway, so I didn’t try to strike an unnecessary conversation

Shwaaa

A gust of wind blew by and rustled htly so that my hair wouldn’t block my vision

I felt a bit envious of the opponent It would be soclothes

My hair was loose and blowing around ht now There was a veil on my face, and the clothes on lad it’s a one-piece dress’

With today’s agenda in mind, I deliberately chose a dress that I’d be able todress

As I thought aboutfor aoff the ground, his movements looked nimble

I didn’t notice at first because he was crouching, but as he started to run, the opponent looked a bit short

I re enemy

The distance between us narrowed in an instant

And, without any hesitation, the knife in the opponent’s hand rushed to ht then

‘Easy peasy’

Was what Harron thought as he swung his sword straight to Rosetta’s shoulder

The woht there as if her feet were rooted to the ground Shein her hands was that strange looking fan

Of course, he had been surprised when she ed to block his arroith that fan

But that was all

She ht be able to ward off arroith that fan, but it couldn’t possibly be turned into a weapon when the fight turned into close combat

What could she do with a fan that didn’t even have any sharp edges?

It was also so light that it couldn’t even be used to hit someone else with it as a blunt weapon

Victory would not be achieved without initiative of attack, and a fan couldn’t be used as a weapon of attack at all

At this point, it’s obvious who the victor was here

He was a little worried about the hts were troublesome

But then, that escort rolled away and hid in the bushes

Poor woman

Why did you choose a coward for your escort

Well, it was good for Harron anyway since only the woet this done and over with, then go get the coht until then

Yes—right until Rosetta, who had just been standing still, gently twisted her shoulder away to avoid his attack

Instead of her flesh, the sword swung through the air

‘Huh?’

What’s this

Not even thinking of this possibility, Harron blinked for a moment

However, since he was a professional, he quickly ca scene, so he was dazed for only a bit

‘Yeah, I’ve been too careless’

The person in front of hied all his arrows

‘You seem complacent just because you warded my arroith a mere fan, but I’ll end that overconfidence with the next attack’

Harron took a couple of steps back with the sword in his hand

Again, Rosetta only watched as she stayed stationed in that same spot

“Hm?”

The veiled woman tilted her head to the side for a ether

Seeing this as an opening, Harron swung his sword once more

This tih

He took advantage of the fact that her lower body was more constrained than her upper ody

Besides that, because it was her leg, it would be i her body slightly like she did before

She would need to s quickly, but she wouldso

And a person who had lost their balance was bound to be careless

Harron reached behind hi froets sliced, I’ll stab the left shoulder right away’

The very ravity would shi+ft even the slightest, that would be his opportunity

However, yet again, the situation did not go as he had expected

Before the edge of his sword could reach Rosetta’s leg, so solid blocked his attack

‘The fan?’

shi+ng

As soon as he checked what had blocked his sword, the sound ofimmediately It was a sound that was out of place

At the same time, under the mask, Harron’s expression becaroan slipped through his clenched teeth

He couldn’t overcome this force

It felt as if the object that his sword had struck was a huge, solid lump of iron

‘What the hell…’
