"Hahaha!! It's fixed, it's fixed! The gross feeling is gone, Umao!"
"That's good. But you just spit out whatever you eat, Grill, so you wasted that Antidote Herb."
"Now that I'm better, I'm hungry~! Oh, this looks tasty!"

[Grill obtained a light blue mushroom!]
"Grill!? No! You can't go around eating things you find on the ground again!"
"But it's such an interesting color, isn't it?"
"It's so obviously a poisonous mushroom, it's not even trying to hide it! You're going to feel sick again!"
"Is that true!? Then, then I'll stop... I'll just eat Umao's rations like normal."
"What do you mean 'normal'!? Masaaki-san, please come back soon!!"
"Come to think of it, where did Masaaki go?"
"He went off somewhere while fighting that woman from earlier. He was on the defensive... or rather, it looked like he was being attacked by a serial killer, so I'm a little worried..."
"Well, Masaaki will be fine."
"You think so?"
"He'll be fine. He's about as strong as I am."
"I'm worried..."
CRACK CRACK CRACK...!!
[The trees are being mowed down!]
"Whoa!? What is this sound!?"
"...This sound... is it happening again..."
THUD...!!

“Whoa! That’s dangerous! You guys are going a bit too far... aren’t you? ...”
“Ah! It’s Masaaki!! Heyyy!”
“Something seems off about them...”
Masaaki

...huff... huff... ugh...
“...I suppose this... settles it...”
“...I never thought that Sanki would be broken...”
...creak... creak...
[Sanki has been broken!]
huff... huff...
...What on earth did you do?...
...Well... I've got a bit of... confidence in my physical strength.
...I don't think this is a matter of confidence or lack thereof...
Cough... cough...!
I broke the village girl's instructions before even half a day had passed since leaving the village...!
It was only for a moment, so I'm lucky, but my hands and feet are still twitching... I guess I really can't use this technique often.
...
[Ririal is staring at the broken Sanki!]
...Now then... what are you going to do?
Since your partner has died in the line of duty.
...For now, I'll build a grave and pour the oil it liked over it...
No, that's not the kind of funeral I'm asking about.
Are you giving up?
"...It is true that Zanki-kun has been defeated, but... I can still fight..."
You're still going? Don't push yourself.
"...I'm not... I cannot give in over something like this..."
Shaking...
[Lirial is terrified!]
Yes, you are. You've been shaking for a while now.
"...It's just a nervous tic... My village is poor, so..."
Even so, don't do it now. It's confusing.
"...Here I come... Grit your teeth..."
"...I will pierce your left chest with my special right straight..."
Then your teeth have nothing to do with it.
Cut it out, seriously.
...Rip out... the heart... ugh...
THUD!
[Lirial has fainted!]
!? H-hey...! Pull yourself together!
Don't go passing out after leaving behind such a terrifying line!
リリアルを倒した!マサアキは220の経験値を獲得!...Zzz... zzz...
Hmm... Her breathing is steady, so it doesn't look like her life is in danger. I think she's probably just exhausted and fell asleep.
I see, that's a relief.
Well, other than breaking her weapon, I didn't really do anything, so I suppose that's to be expected.
You say 'breaking her weapon' like it's nothing... that ridiculously huge saw? What on earth did you do...?
Like I said, my arms, I'm confident in my arm strength.
Winner of the Domilia traditional event, boys' arm wrestling tournament isn't just for show.
If that really translates to this kind of result, then our village is at a monster-level of strength.
Still, speaking of arms, aren't this girl's arms incredibly thin? Her whole body looks skinny too.
Hey sis, are you eating enough?
............
“...A woman with not even a single coin or item of value lying around in the field... would just be toyed with and finished off...”
“...With no money or food... what can we do when we've been stripped of any way to rely on others...”
“...Please tell me...”
Setting aside whether the plan is sound or not.
Even so, knowing all the risks, it seems this was a decision you made with everything you had.
“...They were a greedy and violent duo... they suddenly appeared in our village a few days ago... and we were attacked...”
Demons, huh...
リリアルと名乗る少女を助ける
モンバルヘ行かなきゃなIt would be easy to just ignore her and go,
but I can't just abandon her now that I know the situation.
リリアルと名乗る少女を助ける ◀︎
モンバルヘ行かなきゃなUmao-san, do you know a village called Lasun?
"Lasun? Yes, if I recall, it's a village that places great importance on faith and religion, where 80% of the population is female, right? I once escorted a resident from there back to the village."
Do you still remember how to get there?
"Eh, I remember, but... why are you asking..."
She says that's her village. Can you at least escort her there?
"But... if we do that, it'll be impossible to reach Monbal by the end of the day, you know? Are you sure about this?"
Hmm, it can't be helped. I can't just leave her like this, can I?
If you say so, Masaaki, then I understand.
Sorry, I'm counting on you.
............
...Zzz... zzz...
Well... I'll at least go and see what I can do.
I don't know what I'm capable of, so don't get your hopes up too high.
