Chapter 8 (1/2)
Fighting Skills
Uneventfully, three days passed
We advanced on stone pavement Ria was in front on foot, with Lulu on the donkey’s back behind her
The journey was peaceful Though a destination had been decided on, it wasn’t urgent While enjoying the surrounding scenery, you could enjoy the true pleasure of travelling
“Since this is your so-called journey to increase your fighting skills, I thought that you’d be in more of a rush”
“Hh I said this is for training, it wouldn’t be smart to do that the entire time”
Ria was in a good ood mood
The reason was the katanas visible at her waist
They weren’t wooden swords nor an iths If it were japan, lethal weapons like this were an out
She carried herself in a dignified lad After all, up to now she had only been using the wooden sword for a weapon
This was because wearing a japanese katana was a man’s romance Of course Lulu was a woman and couldn’t understand a martial artist
By the way, the wooden sword for beating people to death was in the oblins Maintenance was immense
They ate their various rations, peacefully spending the afternoon, however a figure suddenly flew past overhead
“Oh, a dragoon”
“A pursuer?”
A dragoon is a soldier that rode on a wyvern Although a wyvern was on, it looked coon As for the differences between a dragon and a sub-dragon, they were about as different as mice and humans
That dragoon, after revolving around the two, returned to where it came from Its direction was directly towards the royal capital
“We were found”
“Yeah, looks like it”
“Think they’ll co us back?”
“If so I’ll beat them”
“I’d prefer a peaceful method”
“Then I’ll beat them peacefully”
Ria grinned and laughed, though that doesn’t
Anyways, if they were enemies she had confidence to ive up
However, the situation exceeded Ria’s expectations
They didn’t change their route Lulu only glanced back sometimes
Sensing that it wasn’t the shaking luggage on its back, the donkey continued walking slowly
Before evening, in Ria’s ears that had the Gift of Keen Senses, was the sound of horses’ hooves
“They came Three of them”
“Understood Though I also have good hearing”
Even though she’s a half-elf, an elf is an elf Although her eyes and ears were certainly superior to a huon’s Bloodline
“What do we do? Are we going to continue hiding?”
“No, although its been simple andsearched by ic would happen sooner or later In any event, this is a bit of a bitter experience”
Folding her arms, she stood in the center of the road Fortunately other travelers hadn’t come for a while
Before long, three knights riding horses caht However…
“Geh-, Reyas”
“Geh-, Carlos”
Changing their motives, the two’s faces strained
That the vice-captain of the knights would personally pursue theht was someone she wanted to avoid
By the way, the last person was inconsequential
“Carlos the Elf Lover huh…”
“That person, he only sees my ears”
He was the best young soldier in the chivalric order, though while his personality and pedigree couldn’t be criticized, his dream to embrace an elf was famous Was he twenty years old this year?
By the way, Lulu turns twenty-four this year Because she is a half-elf, she looks er than him
Lulu got off the donkey and aited for our pursuers’ arrival
Reyas arrived first, dis a small distance away The other two followed his lead
“Princess…”
Reyas had a stunned expression on, his fighting spirit unable to be seen
“Please return as soon as possible His Majesty is worried about you”
“From this cute child’s journey, youme, Reyas?”
“Although you left thefor you would be impossible”
“Since I’ to the labyrinth city for now, I’d like it if you didn’t worry and reported that back”
Haah, Reyas let out a sigh
“With all due respect, does the princess understand what is happening to the court right now?”
“I know For that reason, I did it to separate from the court to not be used”
As she said that, a tinge of praise appeared in Reyas’ expression
“That’s unexpected I thought that you were certainly uninterested in such things”
“Well, I don’t want to be involved”
Ria shrugged her shoulders The atmosphere was calm
“Still, please return for now If you’d like, I don’t mind if you accompany us to the labyrinth city”
“Since Rufus-jiichan isn’t there anyht in the kingdom disappeared”
“That is correct, there is a dissension”
The air became heavy
“Even if you have to go through a bit of a painful experience, I a you back”
“Yeah, it’s good that’s easy to understand”
Reyas drew his sword Not the wooden sword usually used for training, but a shi+ning mithril sword
Of course, getting hit by that would cause bleeding If Ria wore nothing but her leather armor, it would be easy for the blade to reach her body
Honestly, Ria had the odds in her favor
The defeated element couldn’t be found
First of all, his prepared weapon was bad With his o easy on her Though it would be stopped if Ria’s Hard Body Skill was used, Reyas didn’t know that
In other words, he would ai her vitals In that case the wooden sould have been better
Even if he said that they reatly injure the princess At that point he was already at a large disadvantage
As for Ria, in an extre Reyas Of course she didn’t have the intention to kill hi at his vitals was an option
“I’ll say this, Reyas Until nohile training with you, I’ve never once used th”
