Chapter 68: Guardian of the forest get annoyed

The forest that I protect. When a stranger comes here the birds will call me, that’s what I ordered them to do.

Carrying the axe, stepping on the ground, running through the forest. Every time I run, the ground tremors and I feel that the flowers could get ruined, but I can not keep that in mind now. If I don’t hurry, the whole forest may be in danger.

Poachers come over and over again trying to steal the grace of the forest.

I only give it to people if they’re worthy enough, but of course, there is a limit I can give that doesn’t harm the forest. Poachers are the target of hatred, they must be eliminated.

It is troublesome to do this every time, but that is my role. And it has become much easier than before. May her force be with me. (I wonder if this is proper English but I want to use a star war refer) (original is: I can feel my body is filling with her power)

… Blood Contract that my friend gave me!

Silver haired vampire, Arge nee-san. Her contract of blood gives me a strong power.

Moreover, I am not slacking off. In order to overcome the problem about speed, I have repeatedly practiced, and the skill of ‘guardian of the area’ is also rising.

Recently, I can even use magic. I’m surely growing up.

“Bumooooooooo! ! !”

I rush through the forest with great speed while roaring.

Now, poachers. Here I come. I came to judge you. It is a cry with that intention.

Mostly poachers have fallen to a trap set by goblins and kobolds.Recently, they are even more cooperative than before. (It’s A Trap)

I ran to the intruder, led by the voice of the birds.

The other person is turning her back. Although the distance is still far, she should be able to hear my footsteps or the tremor, why doesn’t she react ? Are you inviting me ? Then, I’m gonna take that offer.

When I reach the sufficient distance. I jump using all my power and speed. And then swing down my favourite axe with all my might. With this attack I will probably crush my opponent.

At that moment, a familiar word reached my ears, I chose to give up my weapon.

Of course, the axe still has its Inertial force flying toward her after image and hit the ground, but it does not matter. I abandoned the weapon because it doesn’t change if I have weapon or not fighting against her.

She is disappearing right now, she can strike in all directions, bare handed I may a chance to react in time. I didn’t move or make any sound, trying to concentrate the best I can to avoid.

She appears a few meters beyond me, I finally catch a glimpse of her and fall back. It seems like I had avoided her attack by a margin.

A ghostly woman with short black hair. I don’t know her name, but I will not forget that face.

Her blurry image, her smile with the amber eyes that toyed with me last time we fought, are not easy to forget.

“You came again, you … !”

I angrily glare at her, but she is still a ghost. The best I can do with all my power is avoid her attack once. There is an unpleasant feeling that she is still looking around and doesn’t even care about me. I’m really angry, but I will be patient.

If I get angry here and fight her recklessly, I will die.

“Hmm, I thought you were smarter than before but it seems like you can’t use it properly”

Far from moving, she doesn’t even show any stance. She’s just talking to me.

“… what with that?”

Something’s wrong.

I thought that’s because her atmosphere was changed too much.

The bad feeling like when I fought with her before was gone. Compared to the other day, she is rather calm.

It seemed like she was not interested in the forest and me.

She shrugs her shoulders like she’s amazed. Even though I’m not interested in her action, I must keep watching her movements.

“Isn’t it obvious, I came to settle with Vampear not you”

Not Arge nee-san, but I could not know who she means. It was a word that I did not remember.

I do not remember much. Yes, that’s too much. I feel like heard it somewhere. Where was it …. again?

“Hmm …”

“…………” (Tsundere translate: now you thinking ?)

“Ah … “

“…………” (Tsundere translate: what’s taking so long ?)

“Hmm … “

“Argento! Argento vampear !!” (Tsundere translate: this is why I hate muscle brain)

“Oh, ah!”

I was finally able to understand it after all words were spoken.

Argento vampear. In other words, Arge nee-san. I call her as Arge nee-san, so I don’t remember her family name.

In the first place, family names are not normally present in vampires. Because they was mostly born from magical beings transforming, not from their ancestor . Even if I forget it, it can not be helped.

“It’s useless even if you trying to hide her … ?” (Tsundere translate: because I will chase her even to the end of this world)

Her threatening words still make me sweat, and if I look at her, she is serious. If I don’t do it according her words, battle will be inevitable.

… How do you do it?

Where is Arge nee-san now? I only know about the direction.

I heard the story that she is going to the Republic from the beginning, there is also the soul connection from the contract of blood.

To be honest, it would be pretty hard for me to get in touch with her.Even now I am not confident.

“Come on, get Vampear here!” (Tsundere translate: let me see her already, you idiot)

Vanpear this, Vampear that, so noisy.

“Ah … That person isn’t here, because she isn’t a dweller in this forest in the first place”

“… Then, tell me where she is.” (Tsundere translate: Can’t be help, I will chase her myself)

Alright, yes, she takes the bait well.

I tried enduring my urge to laugh when I looked at her face and I pointed my fingers outside of the forest. It is not the direction Arge nee-san is. It’s completely different country.

I wait for her to turn his eyes to the direction I pointed to, and slowly tell her.

“『 Empire』, she said she will go there before leaving.”

“Empire, why is she in that place …?” (Tsundere translate: Empire huh ?)

“I don’t know her purpose, it seemed like there was something big going on there”

“Purpose … Huh, I see. I guess It won’t be easy to find her …” (Tsundere translate: you think you can escape from me ?)

I try not to respond to her words, she makes a funny face and shows me a grudge. It is a face that seems to have asked Arge nee-san’s attitude to the end.

It’s my first time doing such a thing, but this woman is an opponent who I don’t have to fight. It is the same as Arge nee-san, because she does not mind the value of this forest.

In that case, I will trick her to go to places where she will not be annoyed. According to the story of the birds, the empire seems to be a country that is desolate, I hope you won’t be dead burning over there.

“… No lies, right?”

I breathe a sigh and watch my hands. I feel like I got stronger after training from that, but it is not enough yet.

I have to keep getting stronger and protect the forest. And if it possible, I want to use my power for Arge nee-san.

“To that end, I will train harder”

I clap my hands to my face. I have the power Arge nee-san gave me, and I am also motivated. Then the rest is that I should train as hard as possible (T.N: you should do “100 Push-Ups, 100 Sit-Ups, 100 Squats, 10km Everyday” ^_^)

I’m sure I can become stronger.

A connection with that person is still living in my body. Believing that we will meet again somewhere, I raised my back.

When I notice it, the sun is already quite high. If that person sees it, she will surely just take a nap.

For me, it is a special training time.
