CHAPTER 218 – IO’S PAST (PART 2) ~ THE PROTECTED GIRL

「Lightning!」

Io Akos dropped a lightning on the monster in front of her with smooth chanting and magic activation.

It is a monster called Harpia, having a woman’s face and body with wings and feet of a bird.

The harpia that flew in the air was hit by lightning and staggered for an instant.

Io was already mustering magic powers for her next magic.

She only needs to chant it andーー

「It’s dangerous, get back!」

「Io-chan, stay there」

A pair of male and female swordsmen charged from her sides.

The two of them cut off the harpia’s neck and chopped its body with a perfect combination.

It was a fascinating combination as usual.

Io looked at the two with eyes of admiration.

☆

「Has Moris-san and Nay-san’s been in a pair for a very long time?」

The three of them walked towards the next spawning point after defeating one monster.

Their quest was to defeat five harpias. From how the battle earlier ended, it was an easy job so the three of them advanced without worries.

And along the way, the man named Moris answered Io’s question.

「I guess so. I think it’s already for 20 years」

「Ehhh? H-How old are you two now?」

「The both of us are 25」

「You were together since you’re 5-years-old?」

「You don’t need to believe this guy’s nonsense. If he was to mention it, when we were five, he just said “I’ll pass through that mountain and reach the town!” but only got lost instead」

「I-It was still an adventure」

「Okay okay, an adventure you caught me into」

Nay said and shrugged her shoulders. Io let out a small laugh.

She probably imagined the scene at that time.

5-year-old children, the boy dragged the girl to go for an adventure.

Io let out a small laugh imagining that heartwarming scene.

And, she thought to herself that her choice was not wrong.

Moris and Nay whose fame are currently rising.

It was rumored that these two would absolutely reach A-Rank, so Io searched for them and asked them to let her enter their party.

And right now, they are out for a monster subjugation quest together.

「If we were to be reincarnated, it’s better if the day we are born is a bit separated」

「If so, then I’m just going to chase after you so that we will be born the same day」

「Uwa〜, this guy, he’s a stalker. A stalker the instant he’s born」

Despite saying that, Nay was with all smiles and do not feel bad about it.

Two people who are strong as swordsmen, their combinations are impressive, and two people who help each other in defeating monsters.
