Vol 1 Chapter 2 (2/2)
I readied ht
Before the puppy recovered its stance froe, I punched it
As expected of ility
With casual ease I hit the puppy
Prod
”…”
”…”
The puppy's big, round eyes met mine
I alot bitten for that
”CRAA!” I quickly dodged
ap, I definitely can't win this
This is too powerless, right?
Whena puppy
Arainst a puppy? Come on!
What do I do? What do I do!
While Iin circles, the puppy charged again
Ah———crap
I can't dodge that one
One hit?
A to die in one hit?
Protection 0 ht?
I keep watching the events in slownot even once
”Hng!”
Suddenly, a well-built uncle stepped between the puppy and me
Why uncle, you ask?
Because I saw his dandy profile that made it clear he's that old!
Uncle stopped and repelled the puppy's charge with his shi+eld and impaled it with his sword
doesn't make for a nice picture, does it
With that, the puppy stopped
I see, monsters disappear upon defeat
That's way better than leaving behind corpses
A drop item appeared
Petite Panther's Fur
I wonder, can I just sell these andthat way?
Uncle specially picked it up and threw it to me
”That was dangerous, Missy A little Missy like you shouldn't loiter around outside town like that?”
Missy?
Ahh, he means me
This dandy old man threw me a look over his shoulder and loosened his face into a broad grin
”Y-yes Thank you very much”
Alright, perfect yourself!
I originally intended to do so anyway, but now I'll show you what a great girl I can be!
I ah
Although there's nothing that could expose ht?
”But this is a surprise Missy, are you an elf?”
”Eh?”
Uncle ain
Eh?
How did he notice I'm an elf?
I'h
”No, I'm a halfelf”
”Hee, I see I see You're the cutest girl I've ever seen, so I thought you ht be an elf, but I see”
Are elven looks that superior?
”I-is that so Uh me just now”
I'd been on the verge of death No kidding
”I told you, don't sweat it We have to help each other in trouble, right? From the looks of it you're alone; don't you have a companion?”
Uncle answered me with a smile and worriedly looked around since I was alone
I hadn't had a bad feeling about hiood guy
Hmm, what should I do
Mixing in a bit of the truth, I told him my situation
”Actually, I left hoo, either, I ondering what to do probably”
It's true
I only omitted some details
And whether I can ever go back or not needs some verification in the future
Uncle listened to my story quietly
”Missy, you said you're a halfelf, right Elven villages are harsh in that respect Must have been tough on you”
Uncle was moved to tears a bit
And hey, elves are horrible, aren't they?!
Really elitist, huh
”Ahh, nono, how should I put this”
But arbitrarily uys didn't sit ith me either
”It's fine, it's finy, Missy Everyone's got a thing or two they don't want to remember!”
Yepyep, Uncle nodded
What should I do, this person is a bottooodness
”Still, I see But it's no good if a uys, either, but it norant of the world as you are, Missy”
Ignorant of the world, huh
Is that how I look to you?
Well, I can't fight and I was alone outside of town
And at least in this world it's true that I don't know left froht
I got anxious after all
Seeingnod
”I' in this town I live with hter, but if you like, why don't you stay with us, Missy? This s like this”
”Eh!?”
Is this what they call a Godsend?
Ignorant of the world as Uncle had called me and exhausted to boot, I nodded without hesitation
It's too much trust in someone I just met, but he did save my life
And , I really have no way to survive in this world, so I have to rely on someone
For now
”Uhm, it may cause you trouble, but please help me”
”Hahaha, that's no trouble With someone like you at hohter'll be happy for soe”
Uncle told me with a wry s a little sister
”I My name is Alice Nicholl-san, really, thank you!!!”
When I sot a bit agitated and flustered
”O-Ouu! Let's go, Mis Alice-chan!”
Like that, I tookin another world
