A head man with a typical thief appearance who competes with Elisias.

Next to him, four subordinates who looked a bit incompetent were smiling brightly.

I felt puzzled when I saw that group of thieves.

larger than necessary

Although thieves appear as enemies in the game, they do not move around in groups like this.

Most of the time, a group of 3 people, such as a leader and 2 subordinates, appear as enemies, but like the guys shown before, 5 people do not appear as enemies.

“Inhale!”

Elisias pushes the man away and kicks him in the face with a roundhouse kick.

“Keuak!”

The man who appeared to be the captain spat out blood with a short groan and then stepped back hesitantly.

“Okay… I have to do this much to make it taste good, right? Because I don’t really like obedient women.”

Illisha, who was looking at the man smiling and wiping the corner of his mouth, whistled and came next to Elisias.

“Well…if it looks like you’re having a hard time, should I help you a little?”

Elisias shook her head and denied Illisha’s question.

“No, I will deal with that big guy, so I want you to deal with those subordinates only.”

Illisha nodded, grabbed a huge sword, and charged at the surrounding subordinates at high speed.

“Heng, our little ones will let this older sister play!”

Swing the great sword with all your might.

―Kaang!

A man who looked helpless after receiving Illisha’s sword was pushed back by the wind pressure and lost his grip on the weapon and sat down.

“Hee….Hee hee!!”

“You idiots! Anyway, they are bitches! Let’s all just go at it together!”

The head man clicked his tongue and urged his subordinates.

“Don’t look away!”

Elisias advances, swinging his sword at the man.

“Keuuu!!”

The guy who was receiving Elisias’ attack was gradually pushed back, gritted his teeth, and raised his ax to counterattack.

“It’s over!”

The man laughs evilly and strikes down the axe.

As if he had expected it, Elisias lightly twisted his body to let go of the attack, then raised his sword and cut the guy down.

“Gagging…”

The man falls to his knees, coughing up blood.

Elisias waved the sword in the air to shake off the red blood on the blade and led it.

“Hmph, I avoided the vital area, so I won’t die. This pathetic guy.”

As Elisias clicked his tongue and spoke, the man who lost the battle writhed in anger and tried to stop the bleeding from his wounds.

“Do you…do you know who I am?It’s not over yet…I promise…”

Elisias, who was approaching the leader who was spouting third-rate villain lines, kicked him in the face and the man fell unconscious.

“ Hey, if I tell you one thing after finishing it, you will know ten? Is this teacher happy?”

Illisha, who quickly finished the battle, shook her hands and looked at Elisias and raised her thumb.

“Brother…don’t worry…”

As I was about to approach the two guys, thinking that the dangerous situation was over, I hurriedly turned my head when I heard the sound of someone coming from the bushes next to me.

The man, who was muttering with his eyes wet, laughed unpleasantly and took out a long stick.

“If this is…”

He put something on the tip of the sharp needle and stuck it into the ejection port of the stick.

“Sting??”

Before the man could aim his poisonous needle, I quickly picked up a blunt rock at his feet, loaded it into the sling gun’s pouch, stretched out a long rubber band, and fired it at the man.

“Wow!”

The stone fired hit exactly on the guy’s temple.

The guy who fell helplessly fainted and I looked around to see if there were any other enemies.

“Whoa…what an eventful day today…”

After looking around for a while, I found no other dangers, so I left the bushes and headed towards my group.

“Oh, is the kid here? You should have seen Elisias fight earlier.”

Illisha was trapping a group of thieves, perhaps because she had brought tough vines from nearby, and when she saw me, she greeted me with a smile.

“I’ve already seen it all. There’s a guy passed out in the bushes over there, so please take care of him too.”

As I pointed to the bush where the man I had suppressed had collapsed, Illisha nodded and headed in the direction I indicated.

“There’s no one there?”

I, too, was taken aback by Illisha’s panicked voice.

“Did he run away quickly? What happened… More than that, are you okay?”

When I asked the woman who had almost been harmed about her well-being, she hugged the body of a man who appeared to be her husband and began to cry bitterly.

There are no words of comfort.

We waited for a long time for the woman to calm down, and as time passed, she stopped crying.

“I’m sorry…I just cried so much…Thank you for your help.”

The woman, wiping away her tears with a trembling voice, looked at the fallen man, immersed in deep emptiness.

“He said it was a simple request to dig up herbs, and that it wouldn’t be dangerous as long as I avoided monsters… I didn’t know something like this would happen… He’s about to become the child’s father… ”

She rubs her pregnant belly.

Ilicia carefully approached the woman and held out her hand to help her up. I checked the fallen man’s pulse just in case.

Of course, I can’t feel a pulse.

“We can’t let it get late, so let’s go back together. We’ll take care of your husband’s body.”

The woman in Ilicia’s arms nods slightly.

So we returned to the city again.

It was now already evening, and Elisias and I entered Anjules Labia to fill our bellies and organize the situation.

The group of thieves was handed over to the Royal Guard and the request was successfully completed, but something felt uneasy.

Elisias also didn’t say anything for a while.

“Hey, girl, why are you so gloomy? What’s going on?”

Uncle Guile says worriedly and pats me on the back.

Does this mean to comfort you?

I wasn’t used to that, so I shook my head and quietly put the food that Uncle Guile gave me into my mouth.

“Does that woman have to live the world alone now?”

“You don’t know that, why all of a sudden?”

I asked a question to Elisias, who suddenly caught the mood, and she looked at me with a worried look on her face.

“No…I’m just talking to myself.”

Just as the solemn atmosphere was about to become awkward, the door opened and Ilicia came in.

She came to our table, sat down, and ordered an ale from the owner.

“Sorry, it took some time to report the request. Did you finish it well?”

Illisha asked me.

I nodded and told him in detail everything from arranging the funeral of the man who had been murdered to delivering the woman home.

Illisha nodded and before she knew it, she was gulping down the ale that Uncle Guile had brought her without even taking a breath.

“I have definitely received the mission reward, so I will live today. Thank you all for your hard work.”

Ilya handed me a glass filled with ale and I responded by clinking the glass.

I was worried that she looked a little gloomy, so I turned my gaze to Elisias, and she just quietly put food in her mouth and munched on it.

“What… Elysias? what’s the matter? I’m more depressed than usual.”

Ilicia also cautiously asked if Elisias had noticed that something was a little strange.

I also wondered why this guy was like this, so I looked at Elisias in silence.

“No…it’s not that big of a deal, I’m sorry for making you worry…I just feel bad for that woman…my loved one passed away…”

Was the widow so depressed the whole time because she was worried?

Actually, if I think about it from my perspective, I just felt a little uncomfortable because the person was not related to me, but the situation just didn’t affect me that much.

However, unlike me, Elisias tries to worry about people even though they have nothing to do with her.

Her kindness is different from mine, and I feel a little proud and proud of her kindness.

When there was a bit of silence, Illisha opened her mouth.

“Probably… there will be many difficulties in living in the future, especially since it is not easy to raise a child alone here.”

Illisha smiled bitterly, looked at the glass of ale in her hand, and drank it again in one go.

“But don’t worry too much, I’ll make sure you can hear the news from time to time through La Boil.”

Those words reminded me of something I had forgotten.

Normally, there should be four members: me, Elisias, Illisha, and LaBoille, but today one seat is vacant.

“Hmm? Come to think of it, Illy, where has LaBoille, who was always by your side, gone?”

“Ah―”

The laboil I had hidden in the bushes was so hectic that I completely forgot about it.
