Chapter 97 (2/2)

Maa, either way it's better than a housedress though

「How's the, glove?」

I requested for Saira to do further experiments and maintenance but, her ears drooped when I asked that

「……There really isn't any high rank h」

「I see」

If she was able to stock two Star Flares then it'd be so inserted?」

「Flaht hand, I had her experimentally insert heal in the left hand nya It seems that heal can be used」

「That so, thank you」

「Hai desu」

Saira is cattishly cute isn't she

It's thethe stock in this weapon?

Since I can't let ic power be lost in an experiment or such, but I'll have to act without any preparations……

「In any case let's set out after changing」

「Haii, I'll help you, change nya!」

「I, I can do it alone so」

「I can't undress you as well as Ilya but, I'll dome, is that how it is……

I can't dismiss her desperate desire to be of use can I

「Then, I'll ask that of you」

「Hai desu nyaa」

Saira joyfully ca isn't it!!」

Just, what is she thinking of!?

Saira went 「Is that wrong? Even though I heard it properly」 with that sort of confused face so the culprit is obvious

「……Huh? Alice-san, are you not wearing anything, on top?」

When she set about helping enerally」

Since I haven't had a habit of wearing so on top you see?

Saira nodded at that

「I understand nya, since it gives a craht isn't it」

To think that the day would co a bra, you don't knohat'll happen in life……

「Ano, if it's okay could I lend you, e of clothes?」

「I brought a little! Eto, since this isn't our house」

Un, since it's a forest

「Alice-san is slender but, if it's this the size is s won't it fit nya」

Saira pulled a bra out from her ruck and offered it out

This situation where she's offering underhile so ahead, is too surreal……

And so feelings of guilt boil up fro manly heart

「……Saira! You must not tempt boys like that you know! Since you'll be attacked!」

「I, I wouldn't do that you knoow……if I was to say between us, Alice-san is more defenseless nya」

Since I lack the sort of experience of staying on guard against h

For now, I accepted Saira's favor and acted to borrow the bra

I accepted it whileheart

「Ah, this, is it what's called a tube top?」

「Fi, fixedly staring at it, makes me embarrassed nyaa」

「So, sorry」

So for that reason, I changed

While holding an e of, I proceeded through the forest with Saira and Rin-chan

I chose an animal path with few bushes and walked down it but, even so it was harsh endurance wise

After walking a little the situation didn't have enough leeway to show embarrassment

I want to leave the forest even a little sooner

I don't want todecided upon

It's obviously dangerous to push through bushes and, I suppose it's also impossible in terms of endurance

But, the animal paths within this natural forest where people's hands don't often enter are also dangerous

As the words i traversed this

I wouldn't erous choice normally

But I can't expect a rescue and, the equip is also unreliable

I can't stop and, I can't take my time for a safe plan either

And I suppose that in this natural environment I can only reason about what's safe from the result

If that's the case then even if I push a little too hard, as long as I get out of this forest

「Haa, haa……」

「Alice-san, switch over!」

Saira gave a suggestion seeing ed breath

「It's okay, Saira's also carrying her ruck right?」

「Unya……I want Aim's level of power」

「I as well」

Rin-chan really isn't waking up

As if so her a ride but, it really is fairly harsh

I can't take breaks whenever and, if I give up this won't be worth talking about

That's it I suppose,that when I was going to call out to Saira, to the contrary Saira raised a cheer

「Waa! Alice-san, please look at that! It's a cute cub!」

「――Eh?」

Turning aze, there's certainly a cub visible within a bush off of the ani there I suppose it isn't a er, I felt that the unclear animal's cub seemed to fixedly stare at us with curiosity

――This is the worst

「Saira, Saira!」

「Ah, hai desu nya」

Calling Saira with a sht her face close with bewildered eyes

「I'll monitor the front so, could Saira please pay attention to the rear」

「Eh? Eh?」

「If you feel that so is out of place or, sense a presence then promptly raise your voice to let ain, faced my eyes toward the cub that's been there since before

The cub wasn't there any around alone you know」

Maybe my nervous aura was transmitted, Saira sed her breath and stiffened her face

My pulse is unnecessarily disturbed

「Since that much is the same whether human or animal」

「In, in short……」

Saira nodded while anxiously looking around the area

「……A parent protecting a child is, the ain, I began carefully ether with a fearful Saira

My throat was parched dry by terror and anxiety

I' you so don't come near

It's not the case that I would cause har, the wind ran, I advanced into the stirring deep forest of lushly overgrown trees

「Hiuu」

A kite or the like suddenly cried out nearby, then the sound of its wings rang out

Saira was surprised by that and let out a s once, I questioned the appearance of the surroundings

Since the forest overfloith the sounds of nature it wasn't the case that it was enveloped in silence but, I didn't particularly sense anything out of place disturbing that

It's still tranquil

「It's okay, it's okay」

「Ha, hai desu」

More i Saira up I called out so that I could hear ain

For hoas straining too much,uard is unthinkable

I clenchfootprints on the ani that happened just after that

「……Large」

「Ah, Alice-san……」

Was that an animal on level with a brown bear?

With that as such, that would ra this another world, a norainst a wild animal

And furtherh if Ilya or Ai to fear even if they were unarmed

In appearance those 2 are lovely people but, they're a dragon and a dwarf so well……

They wouldn't fall behind an aniht, I nor so stupid as to follow footsteps even though I' about the map of the land pounded into my head, there shouldn't be a mistake in the shortest direction out of the forest

The correct answer isn't li on a different path

There's the risk of losing track of our direction if we divert ourselves to a side path by pushi+ng through bushes so that's out of the question

「We're going, Saira」

「……Haii! Since I believe in you!」

「Thank you」

Saira shook her head sideways repeatedly

「In a tiht nyaa」

「Fufu, that's reassuring」

And so once again, I walked forth

Walking for a while while being careful of the both the surroundings and the footprints――when those footprints suddenly cut off oosebumps

「It hid its trail……tsu!」

Without tis, a short scream reverberated from Saira behind me――
