CH 69

“Thats the boss. It looks strong.”

We arrived at the safety area and Rana gave her impression of what she saw.

“But, it looks so cute.”

“It looks like it’s just a bigger quill.”

Ester really liked cute animals and teddy bears. Although I have to admit it is cute, although it’s still a boss. Sierra on the other hand didn’t seem to know much about the boss.

“Don’t be fooled by its appearance. It’s movement is completely different from the quill. It’s called [Anteater bear].”

“So… which one is it?”

“I have the same question actually.”

Ciara reaches out and takes Hannahs hands. Apparently they bonded over the question …..weird.

“An Anteater, but it moves like a bear.”

“So which one is it?”

I don’t know. Of course I wanted to know as well but the developers never answered!

I began making camp in the rest area so we could relax before fighting the boss. Ester came over and helped me out, I wasn’t expecting it but I guess knights would know how to make camp. Although I quickly discovered she was better than me at it and it turned into me helping her. It was a good learning experience.

We ate a light meal and then went to challenge the boss.

“I’m going to play an active role this time! ”

“I will rely upon her highness for her support.”

“Leave it to me!”

Ciara gave her a wry smile but I didn’t expect Rana to be able to do very much.

“I think the tank and healer should take a moment to discuss healing and support.”

“Oh right, her highness hasn’t used healing magic yet.”

“Then I think you should take the time to practice and make sure you can do it before going in. It’s a boss so Ciara might end up taking damage.”

“I can block it with my shield but, even with out it I don’t think my Hp would change all that much.”

“Yeah, probably not.”

She had really good equipment after all and I can’t exactly ask her to take it off and go get hurt. Although Rana looks a little upset.

“Well, just hang on until level 20 then. Once you reach level 20 you can get skills like [blade of light] and [light pillar] you’ll be able to help out more then.”

“I see, you’re highness, please bare with it for now then.”

As soon as we entered the boss room it’s eyes locked onto Ciara. She was first through the gate so the idea was to wait until the boss agrod onto her and went on the offensive. However….. somebody couldn’t wait…..

“《Guardians blessing》!”

Rana…. Of course it was Rana. At the same time that she used the buff the bosses attention switches to her.

“Gyaaaaa!”

“Hya!”

Rana screamed as the boss rushed towards her. Sierra used [Provocation] but it wasn’t within range yet and was heading straight for Rana. Since I couldn’t let her take it on herself I moved in front of her.

“Ze- Zephyrussss.”

Ranas opinion of me seemed to be rising further. Of course I am protecting her now, it’s a nice situation protecting a girl. I bet I look so cool right now.

But it’s their fight, I shouldn’t really be involved should I? But I would look so cool, I don’t think it would hurt if it’s just a little.

From the side a shadow rushed in between us with a shield held out.

“《Cover shield》!”

It was Sierra, stealing my glory as she took the charge head on with her shield. Although I must admit it was a magnificent block.

“Gaaaa!?”

The Anteater bear hit the ground as it’s charge ground to a halt.

……I’m still upset I won’t get to show off though.
