Chapter 524

Leo was excited

Unlike yesterday, Sherry used magic right from the beginning of the battle.

And just like yesterday, she continuously used ice magic and easily froze the orc, and ended the battle.

It was a safe victory, but perhaps it was to be expected, given the difference between monster types.

However, after the battle, Leo muttered that she had to teach Sherry other ways to fight besides magic, which was a concern...

It seemed that she wanted her to defeat the orcs not only with magic, but also with claws and fangs like a fenrir...

“Well then, it’s Mr. Takumi’s turn... Can you do it? If you want, it’s okay to use herbs this time...”

“I should be fine. If there’s a situation where no one can help, I’ll eat the herbs without hesitation... But everyone is here this time.”

“Very well. If you feel in danger, call for help right away. Leo is here, and we’re here too. Besides, since you were able to defeat one orc without any problems, it should be fine.”

“Yes, I understood.”

I was capable of defeating one orc without difficulty, but this time there would be two.

Although it seemed unlikely that the orcs would coordinate their attacks, based on their behavior when they attacked Range village, the fact that they were attacking together still made them a threat.

Even if there was only one orc, I had no intention of letting my guard down. However, this time, I decided to be even more alert and wait with extra determination.

“Good Leo, I’m counting on you.”

“Wuff!”

We had Leo find the location of the orcs. It was a familiar routine for Philip and the others.

Perhaps we were lucky this time, as Leo immediately found two orcs that were nearby.

Apparently, there were also another two not far off from them, but I hoped Philip would only lure in the one pair.

“...”

“...Here they come.”

“Wuff...”

As I was slightly ahead of everyone else, I drew my sword in response to the sounds and voices coming from the direction of the forest.

“We’re here already...”

And just like that, the two orcs, who had been split in two, fell to ground with a thump.

She must have slashed them with her claws... But I hadn’t been able to see how.

“Wuff-wuff!”

“Gyu-giii...”

“Giii...”

While Leo barked happily, the other two orcs were shaking.

“...Uh, Leo... Thanks.”

“Wuff!”

“Mama really is amazing! I want to be able to fight that quickly...”

“While we managed to stay on, I had no idea what was happening...”

As Leo came up to me with a proud expression, I petted her on the cheek.

Liza was happy about what Leo did, but I didn’t know if I wanted her to copy it.

I hoped that she wouldn’t be too interested in such things, or Mr. Ekenhart might be encouraged...

“...Mr. Takumi.”

“Yes, I know...”

“You can do it, papa!”

“Wou!”

“Of course.”

I stopped petting Leo and nodded at Mr. Ekenhart. Then I gripped my sword and faced the orcs.

Though, I felt a little sad. Even when I looked at the orcs with hostility, they were just shaking while looking towards Leo.

Hmm. I guess I could take one down from the side... But then that wouldn’t be fighting two at the same time...
