Chapter 43

Chapter 43: 43

Others have a little public talk with Camilo and leave Camilo’s shop. I’m just leaving as I am today. Mr. Marius doesn’t seem like I can do anything about it. I’m a blacksmith. I have everything I need to replenish at Camilo’s, so there are some things I need to buy in at approximately. Buying seeds or something to sow in a field is quite unusual.

It’s been two weeks since I’ve been here, so I thought it might be two weeks’ worth of iron stone, but I think Camilo might be successful as a merchant, considering that we only have a blacksmith job for a week. The iron stone and charcoal loaded in the luggage is a week’s worth.

I looked when I left the city and the guard was the one I saw in the morning. Well, I went to Camilo’s, and it hasn’t been that long, so it’s obvious. Pass by with a meeting. If we go out on the street, we’ll have the same route later, but we’ll stay alert. In the prairie as far as I can see, it feels good for a body where the wind across draws a luggage and lights a fire. I almost relax by accident, but it doesn’t make sense to do that.

“If it feels good like this, don’t relax”

When I say that,

“If it’s safe, it seems like a good day to go.”

“I can see Eizo’s relaxed.”

Both Lique and Thermia agreed. That’s right. That said, it’s hard not to say whether it’s a relaxing lunch there or not. Let’s at least go enjoy a pleasant day.

And then we went into the woods a few more times, and Thermia stopped. From the way he’s busily moving his round ear, he’s hearing something. I speak to Thermia.

“A thief?

“I don’t know. But it sounds like we’re fighting. You’re a little ahead…”

That’s what Thermia says and she sees us chilling. I guess I’m wondering if I should go.

“Okay, then Thermia go ahead and see how it goes. If a thief or a wolf seems to be attacking someone, don’t worry about it. We’ll catch up as soon as we can. If you’re in danger, get out of here.”

“Okay.”

Thermia nods and takes off her boots and runs out. It’s her show of command, a tiger beast. It’s fast but hardly makes any noise.“Well, then we’re in a hurry too.”

“Yes!”

Me and Rike pull the truck as hard as we can. Bigger vibrations, but not enough to upset and roll over. Good on the street. This speed would not have been possible if this were a forest or an untouched road. The shipment is basically built, so believe me it’s okay and hurry up the road.

I know it’s only a matter of time, but it felt like a long time to me. I also heard voices in my ears that seemed to be heavily contested by more than one person. Yeah, stay.

“Rike, this guy is going to stay here for once. Follow me.”

“Yes.”

“But when we get to the crime scene, we’re a little further away.”

I pulled my sword out of the man’s torso, and I lay my sword against the two remaining men without seeing if the man would fall. If the two of you are going to run away, you can run away. The advantages of numbers have been reversed, and normally they will.

“Fuck.

But the two of us left didn’t, and one of them came at me just for being evil. Women are exhausted, and Tiger Beast Man, or Thermia, is a woman, so you still think you can handle it as long as I finish it. I pulled out the knife with one hand while the other guy was packing his time. It is a short sword in one hand and a knife in the other. There was no way to be alert to the knife they had pulled out, so I took it slightly away from my body so that the blade of the knife was orthogonal.

No, I don’t know what to say about saying I got it. Because the opponent’s sword is completely cut off from where he touched the knife. Thanks to it, it swung empty without shock and into the galloping empty torso, knocking the sword in, just like the first man, and the blade still devoured as far as the inside of the torso. There’s only one left.

And when he heard the sound of falling, the last one tried to flee, but Thermia shot an arrow there, and the arrow that was unleashed pierced his body, and the last one lay down on the ground. Normally, I don’t think so, but that arrow is my specialty.

I tried to concentrate my consciousness, but I can’t feel any other signs. If there were any remnants of the party, it would have been a hassle, but it didn’t seem like it either, so I lowered my chest, called Rike, and then rushed over to Thermia and the woman.
