Mannen D-rank No Chuunen Boukensha, Yotta Ikioi De Densetsu No Ken Wo Hikkonuku - CH 67

As we walked through the forest, Ryuna said “We will arrive soon.”

Not only animals, but also monsters live in this big forest.

It must’ve been quite difficult to live in this forest.

[It’s not so dangerous if you don’t leave the village. Because of the tree called the sacred tree, the monsters do not approach. However, monsters eat animals. In that case, the food would become scares, to prevent this there are some warriors who will go out and defeat the monsters regularly]

But, Ryuna kept talking having a complicated face.

[Recently, the number of monsters has increased, and so has their risk level. We know the cause. The Evil Dragon]

The circumstances of the monsters’ birth vary.

An animal takes magical power and transforms into a monster.

They are born reproducing among themselves.

They are born from an empty place due to the enormous convergence of magical power.

Anyway, there is no doubt that magical power plays an important role.

Therefore, the number of monsters increases and they become stronger near monsters with powerful magic.

[Huh, watch out!]

At that moment, Ryuna alerted us by raising her voice suddenly.

Even though I was somewhat puzzled, I noticed immediately.

In a gap between trees, an arrow flew.

KIN!

I unsheathed Venus and cut off the arrow.

Looking in the direction where the arrow came from, I could feel something like a faint breath.

He must have been surprised.

Immediately afterwards, something came down from above and landed between us and Ryuna.

[Stay away from Ryuna-sama! Humans!]

An elf?

Holding a large knife in his hand, and while threatening us protecting Ryuna, he was clearly an elf.

[Ron!? What are you doing?]

[Please stand back, Ryuna-sama!]

After all, he seems to be Ryuna’s ally, but obviously we are not welcome.

It was a fact that he was alert and looking at us with sharp eyes.

At this moment, two shadows came out of the undergrowth quickly.

[ [What!?] ]

But, their movements stopped.

Because Cruxie restrained them with the shadows.

[W-What is this!?]

[My body…..!]

They were trying to break free, but they won’t be able to escape with that fragile figure they have.

[Lily! Rino! Kuh…..damn humans!]

The elf named Ron, went to the charge by himself.

Ryuna tried to stop him, but he didn’t listen.

[Buh!?]

When Cruxie controlled the shadows and grabbed his leg, he fell face-on.

In addition, he was easy to catch by the shadows.

[There was another one, wasn’t there?]

There must be the one who shot that arrow, but…..

[Bau, Bau!]

[W-What is this wolf!?]

It seems that Kuu caught him and brought him here.

*

[We are the Ryuna-sama guards formed by the warriors of the people! We don’t mind losing our lives if it is to protect it!]

[No, I’m surprised you can say something like that when you can’t even move…..]

[Guh…..]

When I told him that, the elf put on a face of frustration.

The four elves who call themselves the guards, are captured by Cruxie’s shadow.

They have an aura of wanting to attack us even now, but because of the shadow enhanced by the superhuman strength of an Amazon, there is nothing they can do.

Still, he said “Ryuna-sama”…..?

She may unexpectedly be someone important to the people.

[Ron, Rou, Lily, Rino. What does this mean?, They took the trouble to come to the great forest to save the people at our request. But, you attacked them suddenly, depending on the response, there will be a huge consequences]

At Ryuna’s words, the four elves paled.

By the way, Lily and Rino are women, but Ron and Rou seem to be men.

Elf men also have a beautiful face, so at first I thought they were women because of their facial features.

『That’s why there is a demand for elf men too』

….. Seriously?

[B-But, Ryuna-sama! Humans can’t be trusted!]

[That’s right! Our people have suffered a lot by human hands!]

[That man…..has been looking at you with lecherous eyes!]

[How unpleasant!]

Of course not.

[It is true that there are very few who can be trusted among humans. But, they are different. I judged that they are reliable compared to others. Don’t you trust my judgment?]

I don’t know what was reliable in me, but I didn’t feel bad listening to it.

[In addition, Luke-dono is the new bearer of the divine sword that once saved our people in the past. His power is essential to defeating the evil dragon who is trying to revive]

Ryuna firmly declares it.

But, the four elves didn’t agree with it.

[E-even without borrowing the power of a human, we are strong enough to defeat the evil dragon!]

[Ron is right! We have trained very hard to protect you, Ryuna-sama!]

[We will definitely defeat the evil dragon, and restore the peace of the people!]

[You can trust us!]

I don’t think so, you guys were defeated in an instant by us, right?

[If the four of them join forces, will they somehow be able to a B-level monster?]

Aria gave a frank opinion.

Cruxie also nodded.

[I don’t know how strong the evil dragon is, but isn’t it a bit impossible?]
