Ryou noticed a change in the forest and stopped when we went further into the forest after our lunch break.
「Isn’t there something wrong….?」 (Ryou)
Ryou’s words words caused Naoto and the other four to stop.
They all listened carefully and looked around.
「…It’s quiet…」 (Naoto)
Naoto muttered, dropping his gaze as he carefully searched above the trees.
「I can’t hear any birds or insects.」 (Ryou)
Ryou put his hand on his sword, and Naoto followed suit.
It is true that the chirping of birds and insects that had been so audible just a moment ago has now all but ceased.
The grass and trees in front of them swayed to reveal a forest wolf with a gray body hair the size of a calf.
「Behind us too!」 (Honoka)
Honoka shouted.
「Wait, here too!」 (Yuki)
「This one too…」 (Erika)
Yuki and Erika brace themselves for the forest wolves that appear from both sides.
「These guys are stronger than goblins…….」 (Naoto)
「……I’ve heard that they’re pretty fast too.」 (Ryou)
Ryou responded to Naoto’s question, remembering the explanation he had received before entering the forest.
Forest wolves are higher level demons than goblins, and they move quickly and hunt in packs.
The six forest wolves slowly close the gap.
「Rapid Arrow, Blink…… Magic Arrow!」 (Honoka)
Honoka activates her magic. A palm-sized arrow made out of transparent magic flies at a forest wolf.
Magic Arrow is a non-attribute elementary magic that is not very powerful, but it is fast and can be used to control the enemy.
Honoka fired three shots.
But the Forest Wolf leaps high and ducks.
Erika shoots an arrow at another one, but it also dodges.
「They react fast, watch out!」 (Erika)
Naoto slashes sideways at one of the approaching animals. The forest wolf leaps backwards, his sword cutting through the air.
「I’m not sure if these guys can see our movements.」 (Ryou)
As he watched the series of events, he noticed something.
The forest wolves are not attacking all at once, they are taking turns. It was a move that seemed to be designed to break Ryou’s formation.
Then….
「I’m going to try something, Hinata-san. Stay where you are.」 (Ryou)
「Eh?」 (Naoto)
Ryou took a step or two away from Naoto and the others.
Then, he ran towards the one animal that seemed to be the leader of the pack, who was not moving and kept his distance.
「Aomi!」 (Yuki)
Another wolf comes after them from behind.
“Just as I thought.”
The moment Ryou slows down, the Forest Wolf pounches on him.
It is the very wolf that attacked its fleeing prey from behind.
But that’s where Ryou was aiming for.
He turned around and thrust the sword in his opposite hand.
The forest wolf opened its mouth wide and jumped at him. But no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t dodge in midair.
The sword pierced the back of his head through his mouth, and he died.
The leader of the pack attacked him as he turned away.
The leader of the pack attacked him.
「Ahhhh!」 (Ryou)
Just as he was about to be bitten, he held his left arm, equipped with a gauntlet, horizontally and pushed it deep into the forest wolf’s mouth.
「Go ahead, bite it off.」 (Ryou)
My colleague spins his sword around and plunges it into the forest wolf’s belly, slicing it open.
The forest wolf collapses, its internal organs spewing out.
「Hinata-san! Their weapon is their fangs, so aim for the moment they attack!」 (Ryou)
「I get it!」 (Naoto)
Forest wolves move fast, but their individual methods of attack are simple.
Their weapon are their long, sharp fangs, and they always bites when they attack their prey.
If they know their habits, it was not an enemy for Naoto and the others anymore.
「Whirlwind!」 (Naoto
Naoto thrusts his light-attribute sword into the mouth of the attacking Forest Wolf.
「Wrath of the earth, crush those who avenge you……. Metal Bullet ministry!!」 (Honoka)
「Twin Fangs!」 (Erika)
Honoka uses earth-based magic to send metal bullets flying.
She jumps and ducks, and Erika’s wind-attribute archery shoots them down.
「Fire Swallow!」 (Yuki)
Yuki’s thrust pierced the Forest Wolf’s throat.
The remaining forest wolves attempt to flee after their companions are all killed.
「Wind blade, decapitate the impeding enemy……. Wind Cutter!」
Two wind blades sliced through the running forest wolf.
「That’s something….」 (Naoto)
Naoto muttered as he sheathed his sword.
「It’s all about cooperation, isn’t it?」(Yuki)
Yuki laughed, still a little pale.
「Even then….」 (Honoka)
Honoka furrowed her brow and crowded Ryou.
「Aomi, you’re being too reckless!」(Honoka)
「Eh?」 (Ryou)
Ryou was surprised to hear Honoka, who was always so calm, shout out loud.
「What if you get hurt, if it bit your own arm?」 (Honoka)
「I’m very sorry, um…..」 (Ryou)
After staring at her, Honoka smiled as usual.
「Well, thanks to you, we were all able to fight properly……. It’s good if you understood.」 (Honoka)
「H, haa」 (Ryou)
Ryou was relieved. It seems that he will not be scolded any more.
「You’re a natural…. aren’t you….?」 (Yuki)
No one could hear Yuki’s muttering.
(2 enter)
「Thank you for your hard work.」 (Patille)
Patille gently hands a towel to her colleague, who has finished her training alone as usual.
「T, thank you very much.」 (Ryou)
He took the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
「Would you like to have a little chat before we go to bed?」 (Patille)
Patille smiled and tilted her head slightly.
「Yes, of course.」 (Ryou)
After that incident, Patille began to show up every night for her colleagues’ training.
When the training was over, they would sit on a bench and chat for a while.
What had happened to each other that day. They talked about her world and Ryou’s world.
Patille was especially interested in hearing about how people lived in a world without magic.
Sitting down on the bench as usual, Patille put her hand on her chest and took a deep breath.
Then she sat back down to close the space between her and Ryou, opened the package at her side and put the contents on her lap.
「…Um, I was wondering if you’d like some for dinner…」 (Patille)
He opened the lid and found a beautifully colored sandwich…….
「Wow, a sandwich?」 (Ryou)
「…I hope it suits your tastes….」 (Patille)
Patille’s cheeks reddened slightly as she hesitantly offered the sandwich.
「Could it be that you made them?」 (Ryou)
Patille nodded her head shyly.
「I’m so glad……. Well, I’ll take it without reservation.」 (Ryou)
Ryou picked up one and brought it to his mouth. It was a sandwich with roasted meat and chopped vegetables.
Patille looked at him with a worried look on her face.
「Oh, it’s delicious.」 (Ryou)
The bread was a little harder than the Japanese ones, but it went well with the ingredients and was pleasant to eat.
It was flattering and delicious.
「Really?」 (Patille)
Patille’s voice rose and she smiled broadly.
「Here you go, Aomi-sama」 (Patille)
She opened the other package and gently held it out in front of her colleague with both hands.
「Eh? This is…」 (Ryou)
「It’s a sandwich whipped cream and fruit. I thought you might like it.」 (Patille)
The smile on Patille’s face as she tilts her head slightly and squints her eyes is one of confidence.
「Um…. Why did you do it?」 (Ryou)
Ryou alternately looked at the whipped sandwich in front of him and Patille’s face.
It is true that I like fruit and whipped cream sandwiches, but I have never told anyone about them since I came here. No, even in my original world, the only person who knew was Mia.
「Eh, I’m not sure why. I just had a feeling…….?」 (Patille)
Patille put her fingers on her cheek and looked up at the sky as if searching for an answer.
「Um, do you happen to have a sweet tooth?」 (Patille)
She then raised her eyebrows in a troubled manner and asked in a reserved tone.
「Yes, I love them.」 (Ryou)
Ryou picked up one of the whipped sandwiches offered to her and put it in her mouth.
Patille’s eyes narrowed flirtatiously as she watched Ryou chewing happily.
「U, um?」 (Ryou)
「Oh, I’m sorry. It’s hard to eat when I’m staring at you……. Um, Aomi-sama, have some tea.」 (Patille)
Patille poured a cup of tea from her portable teapot and placed it on the bench.
「Thank you very much.」 (Ryou)
Ryou hand reached for the cup and stopped hesitating.
「……Um, you don’t like the tea…?」 (Patille)
「Oh, no, it’s not that….. The look on your face…..」 (Ryou)
It just didn’t feel real, and he didn’t feel like he was being called.
Patille looked down for a while and thought about something, then raised her head as if she had made up her mind.
「Please call me by my name instead of Princess.」 (Patille)
Ryou backed away for a moment, not expecting her to say that back.
「So, Pattile-sama?」 (Ryou)
「Why did you attach “sama” to my name?」 (Patille)
Patille raised her eyebrows and glared upwards.
It’s not scary at all, but there is a certain power to it.
「Um, Patille… It’s kind of hard to call you that…. Okay, Patty then.」 (Ryou)
「Patty….?」 (Patille)
Patille looked up and her large round eyes widened even more, with a hint of anticipation that anyone could see.
「I like…… the name…… Ugh, please call me Patty from now on!」 (Patille)
Apparently, he had hit the nail on the head.
「…Patty…」 (Pattile)
Patille stopped to cover her ears with her right hand, which was brushing her hair, and laughed as she mentioned her nickname over and over again.
Ryou was wondering why Patille was so happy, but when I thought about it, no one had ever called her by her nickname before, as she was royalty.
「It’s like…. I’m your friend,」 (Patille)
She envied the fact that the children of noble families of the same age called each other by their nicknames.
「Are you sure? I can’t believe I’m your…… friend」 (Ryou)
Even though it was a different world, he was dealing with royalty, Ryou was unsure of the distance between them.
「Of course!」 (Patille)
Patille answered immediately with a smile.
「Then you can call me…….」 (Ryou)
「Ryou! Ah」 (Patille)
Patille said briskly, then came to her senses and looked down, her face turning red.
「Please call me Ryou」 (Ryou)
At the orphanage and at school, he had been called Ryou or Ryou-kun, so he had no qualms about being called by his first name.
“If it had been Ryou-chan, I would have refused it as soon as possible. (Mia kept calling me Ryou-chan no matter how many times I told her not to.)”
「Speaking of which, I heard you helped a lot today…… Ryou」 (Patille)
Patille’s face was still slightly red.
「No, it’s not a big deal.」 (Ryou)
「I heard from Takashina-sama and the others that thanks to you, they were able to fight safely.」 (Patille)
He felt like the story was being embellished, and he felt a little uncomfortable, so he put his hand on his head and scratched it lightly.
「……So, for Ryou」 (Patille)
What Patille took out was a short sword that was about 60cm.
「I got a sword for you.」 (Patille)
Before entering the actual battle training, the royal family provided weapons to Ryou. Ryou received a longsword struck with the same mithril steel as Naoto’s.
Mithril works well with magic, and has the property of withstanding attribute attacks with magical power.
However, for Ryou who had no magic power, it was just a light, strong and sharp sword, and no special effects could be expected.
But for the knights and adventurers of this world, it is still very expensive and not something that can be obtained easily.
「This sword is imbued with wind magic, which slightly increases the agility of the user.」 (Patille)
He took the sword Patille offered him, pulled it from its scabbard and held it up in front of him.
「I thought it would be better for Ryou who does not have magical powers.」 (Patille)
Ryoustood up and took a few steps away from her, and swung his sword lightly a few times.
He couldn’t feel the magic, but his sword speed had definitely increased. It’s also much easier to use than a longsword.
「Thank you, Princess, I’ll take good care of it.」 (Patille)
As Ryou sheathed the sword and turned around to bow, Patille stood up, stood next to him and put her mouth to his ear.
「It’s P-a-t-t-y」 (Patille) 1
He felt a soft touch on his arm.
「I’m sorry, Patty」 (Ryou)
…In many ways…
