21 The pupil in the village
In the forest that is at the core of the demon continent of all the forests in the continent, a certain village was assaulted by a threat.
Ugh! Substitute with !
Got it!
Guryaaaaa!
His body clad in armour, the sturdy man moved to the back at the sa ti the instruction was given. Another soldier squatting there plunged in and stopped the sword of the grotesque figure that was screaming in front of his eyes. The hit that was swung down was heavy and the soldier reflexively bent his knee.
Behind the grotesque figure, similarly grotesque looking figures ford a line. Those figures are called
B rank monsters known as the guards of the dragons cave. Their height appears to be 2 and half ters, their arms extending from the scale-covered body is thick and in that hand, a curved sword is grasped. The shape of their head is no doubt that of a dragon and drool is spilling out between those sharp teeth.
The Lizardn are currently attacking a certain village. However, due to the swift response done from the directions of the A class adventurer who is residing in the village, they were unable to attack from front of the village.
This so-called swift response are asures such as narrowing down the entrance for the attack with the use of earth magic. The village is identical to the village Setsu and co visited a few days ago. Its surroundings are covered with a wall. Regardless of whether the residents are excellent or not, there was nothing to criticize about their strength. The entrance for passing through the wall is nothing more than the front gate of the village. In other words, as long as they control the gate, they can protect the village.
Rall, stay still just like that!(;raaru)
Ugh! Miss Alize!
The lizardmans blow continues its pressure on the youth called Rall, despite him being on his knees. Standing behind him, woman preparing her rapier called out to him. Just as he was told to, he stopped moving and the rapier wielding woman called Alize, while raising magic power within her, began chanting.
With the savage and wrathful hellfire, burn my adversaries! !
The fla lance that was fired from the hand that was stuck out, flew over Rall, bore through the head of the lizardman and subsequently pierced through the similarly built beings behind it in one hit.
That was great miss Alize!
Im happy of your praise, but now is not the ti! Im entrusting my back to you!
Okay!
Alize deals with the lizardn by using the shining silver rapier she holds. Occasionally she makes use of magic to fires flas, decreasing an amount of invading lizardn.
For certain, she is this villages sole rank A adventurer and exclusive soldier Alize Ifrille. (;arize ifuriiru) The mont she cos out is the mont of despair as far as the lizardn are concerned.
Teya!
Gii!
Alles dagger catches the temple of the E rank monster Goblin, ending its life. As a C rank adventurer, her movent is relatively light. Her use of that short sword stands out and watching her movent feels good too.
Your dagger skills are great
*exhales*
Thanks.
I call out to Alle who took a breath. Two days has passed since we left the town and this girl has surprisingly already opened up to us. Stopping with that unreasonable use of polite speech and talking with general speech is the proof of that.
Right now we are advancing inside a dense forest. A one way trip to Alles village takes three days and if we raise our pace we could arrive there in a little over two days. Luckily, the monsters arent very strong, so its enough with just Alle.
Thus, since we advanced well, the place of destination will soon be in front of our eyes she says.
Just you wait honey liquor, Ill save you right away
Thats all youve been saying the whole ti
Dont be so disgusted, Levia okay? Because you too will beco addicted to it for sure once you drink it.
The village it would be nice if theyre safe
It should be fine, with the way theyre defending it.
According to Alle, the village is surrounded with a wall like the last village she visited; one entrance in the front of the village. That entrance is made thin using earth magic, to the point a single lizardman can squeeze through. Their intelligence isnt a big deal; if there is a hole that even a single one of them can fit in, they wont break the nearby wall. Conversely, if the village is completely surrounded with a wall, they will destroy it in order to go inside. It seems that the villages sole forr A rank adventurer Alize or sothing ca up with this plan, thats quite an excellent plan.
But that na Alize where have I heard of that one before
Say that Alize, what kind of person is she?
Eh? Uhm, shes a beautiful woman with bright red hair and shes a rapier user fire attribute magic is her forte
She sowhat resembles an acquaintance of mine doesnt she
And shes very gentle and shes cool, shes gallant, shes modest I admire her very much
Hm? It doesnt seem like its my acquaintance after all. The Alize fellow I know of is a ferocious and conceited young girl after all, moreover she doesnt have the strength of an A rank adventurer either. I hope shes doing fine.
Oh hey We can already see it, you two, thats my village.
What we see inside the forest is a wall made of earth. Wherever they are, villages in the demon continent all have a wall with a certain typical shape. We follow Alle with a naturally high pace and face the front of the village.
When we get closer to the front, we could see the figures of the monsters attacking the village.
Squirming disgustingly like ants arent they well, first of all, lets go and ensure the villages safety, shall we?
Eh?
When I say that, Alle turned her face to
and showed a why? face. We probably wanted to go directly to the dragons nest, but sothing like the village being annihilated is possible while Im fighting there after all. Then I wont be able to drink honey liquor.
I unsheathed Kuromaru from the magic bag, passed by Alle and threw myself into the lizardn.
Its ant extermination ti!
I went and rapidly cut down the guys who noticed . those dragon scales are lacking in front of Kuromaru and I cut down several heads off their bodies in one swing.
Gugyao!
Conversely, the lizardn swung down their curved swords without hitting , ruthlessly cutting down air. Then the next instant I end their lives by cutting through their waist. After such slaughter advanced for a little while, the figures of nearby monsters disappeared.
This, what is
After completely dealing with the nearby lizardn, a young man in the direction of the village walks while dumbfounded. Behind him is a woman with red wavy hair accompanying him.
Big bro!
Uoh!? Ah. Alle!?
Alle who finally caught up with , jumps at the young man. The young man catches the girl while tottering a bit and looks at the girl with a surprised expression. It seems like theyre sohow siblings since shes using Big bro. If I look closely, they do resemble each other.
Are you the one who took down these lizardn?
Yeah
The red haired woman began talking with .
It really does feel like this woman is my acquaintance.
I see, so you are the adventurer Alle was looking for. If I look at the fight just now, you appear to have at least the strength of an S rank adventurer.
Yeah, sothing like that. By the way, are youcrybaby Alize?
When I ask that, the womans face suddenly beca red and she set up the rapier shes holding.
You, you bastard where have you heard of that naaaaaaa!
Wait!? Miss Alize!?
The dignified atmosphere from so ti ago completely changed and Alizes hair floats from the anger or actually the sha and she stepped on and unleashed a lunge with everything she had.
Woah there.
I pinch that rapier with my left fingers and diverted it beside . I swept Alize, who thrusted with the sa amount of force, away from her feet and she falls on the ground. Then I sit on Alize, who got up on all fours.
You bastard! If you think it will just end with
being exposed to such humiliating experience
Since when have you been able to point your sword towards your master? You crybaby.
Kuh Again with that na hm? Master?
I rember back then you would wield a rapier randomly and annoy . And then when I get angry you would imdiately get teary eyed. And when I praise you instead, you would cry in joy good grief.
N-n-n-n-n-n-no way Could you possibly be Master Setsu?
I stand up and stuck out and showed her Kuromaru without hesitation.
Im SSS rank adventurer Setsu. Please treat
well, okay? Miss A rank adventurer Alize.
P- please treat
well Master.
Theforr pupil of mine, Alize Ifrille, forces a smile as much as she could to
whos showing a boorish smile, as she calls out the na she used to call
while showing her tears, perhaps from the fear of thinking Ill never show myself.
It was when I was traveling to the demon continent with the three of us
When we were searching for requests in order to raise funds at a certain adventurers guild, an extrely cheeky red haired little girl cut in front of us. Her long hair was gently wavy, the sorry looking armour attached to her was brand new and on the sword handle theres only a few traces of being held.
That obviously novice adventurer looking girl cut in front of us and submitted an S rank request. Well, the reception desk naturally snapped, but in the end she threw a tantrum and shouted Im strong so I can do at least this much! From that conceit, the thug like adventurers in this place are about to take their hands out and use force, so I approached the little girl and
If you can win from , Ill let you take that S rank request, okay?
is what I said.
The little girl who heard that stopped her tantrum, turned around and with a delightful looking smile shown on her face she accepted the match.
I wont lose to a weak guy like you!
I felt a little bit angry to the girl who said those provoking words, so I completely beat her upI an, taught her the difference between our strength. My strength at that ti was SS rank. Of course I adjusted my strength and punished her to the point she understood shes being toyed with.
I gave her a vicious beating and used restoration magic on her as she was crying from the pain with hardly any voice coming out and threw her outside. The big incident of the day ended like that.
On the next day, she once again showed her face in the guild.
Im begging you! Let
be your pupil! No I an, please let
be your pupil!
We, who was there to report our achievent on our request, were amazed and it unsurprisingly sounded troubleso to
so I refused, but the little girl even so desperately requested it. While screaming sothing like wanting to beco stronger in order to protect her village, she clung onto . She was really annoying and troubleso, but she got the idea of continuing this troubleso act for as long as shes not my pupil.
Master Setsu, you should make her your pupil already!
Tha- thats right!
I also think you should.
The three attendants of mine gradually lost their patience and finally ca to petition to
in desperation. Well, she even prostrate herself the whole night in front of the hotel room were staying in, you know
And so, I got myself a pupil and the little girl accompanied us in our travels for a while.
That is who is Alize Ifrille.
