Men came running from the end of the road surrounded by trees.

His clothes are not clean at all, and in his hands he holds a Western sword and a knife with conspicuous spilled blades.

A group of about fifteen people stopped about ten meters in front of us.

A guard holding a sword and a black-robed man holding his hand in front of him. Although he is nervous, Inugami-senpai also puts his hand on the sword at his waist. In such a situation, the bandit who was grinning and smiling frivolously, and I was somewhat calm.

 

"Hehehehe, it's crazy to be able to find prey in a place like this! Hey brother!!"

"'Hey, your head!'"

 

A stocky skinhead man who seems to be the leader says so with his henchmen.

I don't know what it is, but I'm not scared at all, even though I should normally feel scared.

 

"Hehe, if you guys don't want to get hurt, give me the money."

"Who will pass!"

"Are you sure? Do you think you can beat this number, and if you do, you're going to be funny."

 

The bandits laugh at the vulgar high-pitched laughter.

Inugami-senpai, who is next to me, slowly pulls the hem of my clothes.

...... Oh yes, Inugami-senpai is also a girl. I'd be frightened if men suddenly bursting out laughing vulgarly in front of me.

 

"Usato-kun, Usato-kun, real bandit!"

"Senior, you're really crazy."

 

I'm not scared at all. After all, Inugami-senpai was Inugami-senpai.

The man who had been arguing with the guard holding the sword looked at me and Inugami-senpai and twisted the corners of his mouth into a grin.

 

"Kukkukku...... The guy in the back seems to have a good mon, doesn't he? I can't afford to miss it."

"You! The outer road is ......!"

"Gaido? Haha, that's a compliment for us!! ......... Hmm? There's a monster ......."

 

A man catches sight of Bulllin near me. After looking at it for a few seconds, his face turns blue and he becomes bewildered.

I wonder what? Is it so strange that humans have monsters with them?

 

"Oh, it's not a blue grizzly! I'm going to take you with me!!"

「......? Bulllyn, are you actually amazing?"

"Hun-so."

 

"Of course," he snorts.

I wanted him to change his lifestyle and then take that attitude.

Turning from Bullin to the man, the figure of a man being comforted by his henchmen comes into view.

 

"He's still a kid! We can do it!"

"That's right!!"

"You guys...... Let's see. It's scary for us beyond the plains! Let's go, you guys!!"

 

Is there dignity in the head that is comforted by the henchmen? Or rather, have these bandits crossed the plains? I wonder if that's why my equipment and clothes are in tatters.

However, we are also attacked, and we have no intention of doing anything about it. Both the bandits who attack with swords and knives are in a position to intercept the two guards. To be honest, I can't fight, all I can do is run around to avoid being held hostage.

I also put on a thin layer of healing magic and put a lot of pressure on my legs and tried to step backwards.

 

"Ehhhhhhhhh

 

With a light voice, Shiden spun between the two guards and hit one of his henchmen. One of the henchmen who was hit by the electric shock fell to the ground on the spot, trembling.

Next to me is senior Inugami, who holds his hand like a finger gun.

Her lightning magic? The guard looks back at him and praises Inugami-senpai with a dignified smile.

 

"That's right, Suzune-sama! Hehe, it looks like this isn't going to be our turn!"

 

It's true that the guards don't seem to have a chance to play, but I wonder if the person who was hit directly by the electric shock will be okay.

 

"See, senior, you didn't kill him, did you?"

"Of course...... Maybe."

 

Why are you stammering? I'm scared.

The bandits, who witnessed the senior's blow, stopped in their tracks as if they were frightened. One of his henchmen fearfully checks the life or death of the person who was hit by the electric shock.

 

"No, I'm alive......

 

I can hear the voices of my seniors in relief.

But it's a good check. If you can get more and more seniors to turn on the electricity at this rate, you can easily clean up the bandits.

If you know that, let's have your seniors shoot you more and more.

 

"Come on, Inugami-senpai, get rid of it!"

"Can you stop saying that?"

 

-――While saying that, Inugami senpai shoots electric shocks continuously from his fingertips.

One by one, two of his henchmen sink to the ground. Honestly, there's nothing we do. It rushes into this without permission and the electric shock hits it directly.

The current seniors who make criminals fall into a stupor with electric shocks are just --

 

"It's a human stun gun...... No, it's a human eel."

"The next time I say that, I'll be angry!?"

 

Gradually, the number of bandits decreased by about one-third, and there were only five left. Shown the sight of his henchmen falling to the ground, he points to Inugami-senpai and shouts loud enough to match his physique.

 

"Isn't it cheating to use magic?!"

 

...... Even if you are told such a thing, you will be in trouble.

And I think I understand why I was able to stay calmer than I expected when I saw the bandits. These guys aren't scared of faces at all. If Rose is 10 and tongs are 6, these guys are 2. It was natural that I wasn't scared.

I'm convinced by myself. All you have to do is sink your head and the rest of your henchmen. If you leave the rest to Inugami-senpai, there will be no danger.

 

"Huh...... Something's coming again."

"What?!"

 

The black-robed man seemed to sense something again. I can't see anything, but I can certainly hear a lot of footsteps. It's not an ordinary footstep, it's a jumping footstep.

Mr. Black Robe can sense enemies, but he doesn't seem to know where they're coming, so he doesn't know where they're coming from.

 

「...... I'm coming."

 

My eyes catch that the head with a puzzled expression in front of me was blown away by a red boar that jumped out from the right side.

 

「...... Uhusato-dono, Suzune-dono, please leave me!"

"Why are you here, their habitat must be farther away!"

 

Redheads on abnormally developed hind legs...... Is that boar a fall boar?!

Moreover, they come in a flock that is not alone. The two guards seem to be dodging well, but three of them jump out of the bushes vigorously at the place of me and Inugami-senpai.

I call out Bullin's name.

 

"Bulllin!"

"Guoo

 

Bullin stands on his hind legs, arms wide open, and threatens Fallboa. However, the momentum of the fall bore does not stop. One of them was stopped by Bulllin, but two of them rushed at me and Inugami-senpai.

I'm aware that it's not a problem, it's sturdy. But Senpai is different, if I don't protect him, I think so, and I try to protect Inugami-senpai, but before I know it, Inugami-senpai stands in front of me, holds his palm and releases a powerful electric shock.

 

"Inugami-senpai!?"

"Usato-kun, you're in danger!"

 

The electric shock that is released hits one of the fall boas, but is deflected by the other. Inugami-senpai tries to unleash an electric shock again.

In my field of vision, I could see the figure of a fall boa with its developed hind legs swollen many times over.

 

"Oh my gosh."

 

The fall bore is characterized by its strong hind legs, which produce powerful jumping power.

From its accumulated hind legs, the lunge knocks the adversary high into the air. Inugami-senpai's electric shock is not in time. What's more, this boar has only seen Inugami-senpai. Maybe it's out of instinctive fear, or maybe she's more dangerous than me.

I can avoid it, but I can't avoid Inugami-senpai.

Naturally. In the original world, she was just a normal high school girl. If I hadn't known about this guy's ecology, I wouldn't have been able to move.

 

"Shhhh

 

I grabbed Inugami-senpai's shoulders and switched them so that my back was to Fallboa, and I moved to be a shield for Inugami-senpai.

If Inugami-senpai can't be avoided, I have no choice but ......! I can heal a few injuries!

After a few moments, there was a strong jolt on my back--and I was thrust upwards with Inugami-senpai.

 

"Gaha...... Huh."

「............ Wow."

 

Luckily, the rucksack was hit by a lunge. Still, as he chews on the pain that threatens to tear his body apart, he immediately casts a healing spell and maintains his uninterrupted consciousness. Inugami-senpai is stunned!

 

"Senior...... Whew!!"

 

He holds Inugami-senpai, who falls to the ground, as if to protect his head, and falls to the ground. The leaves piled up underneath act as a cushion and cushion the impact. Unfortunately, the place where I fell was a steep slope.

Damn it, it's a bad place. It rolls down a steep slope, and the momentum is too strong to stop. The part of the backpack that he carries is torn to shreds, and he hits the ground.

 

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

His vision darkens and he is thrown into the air. The feeling of floating was followed by a strong current—that fell into the river. The force of the water was so strong that I couldn't go up to the shore with Inugami Senpai. As you go with the flow as if you are at a loss, the scenery around you changes to something familiar.

――――――Oh, it looks really familiar.

Yes, the day I was thrown into the woods by Rose, I jumped into the river to escape the Grand Grizzlies.

In other words, what lies ahead?

 

"There's a waterfall......

 

But beyond the waterfall, the flow should be slow.

If you're alone, there's a senior Inugami who has fainted right now...... You have to be prepared.

You can see the break in the river in front of you, it's a waterfall...... Holding Inugami-senpai tightly, he fell from the waterfall while enduring the crushing pressure of the water and the raging current.

 

Back to the forest.
