Chapter 510

Liza’s battle with the orc

“Here it comes!”

“It appears that way...”

“...”

“Wuff...”

“Liza...”

There was the rustling of leaves, and then Phillip and the other guard came out of the forest.

Tilura was the first to react to it.

She had been like this before her own fight as well, but she also saw Liza like a little sister, and so she was nervous for her.

Mr. Ekenhart nodded at Tilura, and looked towards Liza...hoping that she would not get hurt...

Leo also barked quietly as she watched.

Ms. Claire and Ms. Anne held their hands together as if they were praying.

“Lady Liza, are you alright?!”

“Yes, I’m fine!”

“Well, I’ll leave it to you then!”

“Gyuo?”

Phillip and the guard made sure that Liza was ready, and then they rushed past her.

And then a single orc slowly emerged from the forest, and looked at Liza with a puzzled expression.

I suppose it was surprised that its target had turned into a small girl... And it seemed like Phillip had succeeded in bringing it without angering it too much.

...I wished that my orc was like this one.

“...Liza!”

“Grau!”

“Yes, papa, mama. Just watch me!”

“Gyu!?”

“Gyuu!!”

“Now you can’t do anything dangerous!”

Liza jumped and slashed at the orc with her knife.

It cut deep into the orc’s left shoulder.

As the blade was short, it was not able to cut it off, but it was deep enough to hit the nerves, and the arm went limp.

So Liza had been thinking about how to chip away at the orc’s combat ability, and not just about angering it.

But without arms...

“Fuu! Fuuu! Gyuuu!”

It would use its legs.

I didn’t know if it was actually thinking that, but the orc suddenly lowered its head and charged towards Liza.

And while Liza had moved away after hitting it, the orc’s charge was still powerful.

Even if it wasn’t running its fastest, she would likely still be injured if it hit her.

“I already saw this during the other fights!”

“Gyuo!?”

“You! ...Again!”

“Gyo! Gyuo!!”

Liza had been expecting it...and so she jumped to the right and dodged the orc.

Orcs were not able to change direction quickly, and so they were easy to dodge.

That is, if you maintained enough distance from them.

But Liza was only a few meters away, so it would have normally been difficult. Only, Liza happened to have anticipated it.

Of course, she was also naturally fast. I didn’t know if she was fighting this well because she was beastkin, or it was her talent.

She would be stronger than me with some proper training...

As I thought of such things, Liza landed on the ground, and then jumped towards the orc who had passed her...
