Chapter 10
iru
Ahahahaha
A girls laughter resounded in the hilly area. Following her was a swift horse clad in supple muscle.
Hey hey, try to catch up.
When she occasionally stopped, she would dodge under the tip of the horses nose.
Shes seriously running a race against horse, that Ojou-san.
Without even using magic too.
Despite being two years old, its running ability has already considerably bloomed.
Even so it still wasnt able to catch up to Ria. How many hours have they been running together?
Rather, that the horse could keep running is more incredible.
Is it really a horse? We didnt make a mistake that it isnt a unicorn with a broken horn?
Since unicorns seem to die if their horns break, I dont think it is
When Ria played with Matsukaze, her mental age obviously seemed to fall.
Ojou can also make that kind of face, huh.
Like when she was at Master Rufus house, or outside of the castle walls.
The party crossed the hills at a steady pace, gradually going towards the main road where trees were dense.
According to the traders stories, the amount of demons streaming down from the north was multiplying. Normally they would go with a caravan, but at any rate they had Ria.
Going ahead of the rest, Ria and Matsukaze went side by side to the main path.
Having a wild sense of hearing, Matsukaze noticed something.
Matsukaze snorted roughly. After that, Ria also noticed.
From the path in the forest. Out of view, there were footsteps far ahead of them.
Matsukaze, go back to those two.
Saying so, Ria ran like a gale.
She saw the figure of a person far ahead of her on the path.
Running after a small kid, it was obviously a monster. It was an Orc-san that she would completely beat to death.
The kid fled from the orc by changing their pace in a juke, sometimes looking like they threw something over their shoulder.
(A magician?)
With their unusual movements speed, if thats the case I could understand it. However, even though she was looking from afar, she understood from their facial expression that they were exhausted and didnt have much time.
However, luck was on the kids side today.
Do your best! Just a little more!
Calling out, the kid seemed to notice her. The unusual speed continued, but now ran frantically in her direction.
Drawing the katana from her waist with her hand, she ran past the kids side.
The magnificently built orc held a club. He brandished it towards Ria.
It cut through the red muscle fibers, from there entering the orcs organs. It didnt die yet, but was unable to fight.
Ria faced the next orc. The movement of the orcs werent controlled at all, easy targets.
She cut its legs before it attacked. After that, its neck was also cut.
Neither should have been fatal wounds. At any rate they should have lost the ability to chase after the kid.
Ten or more orcs were made powerless by each stroke of her sword. The only one left in the end was an orc with a slightly bigger physique.
An individual named High Orc or Orc Leader. Even if this orc had better abilities than the usual orc, Ria didnt change her relaxed posture.
A ton of grease sticks to this orc, I dont like this one.
Looking at her blade, she averted her gaze from the orc. Having combat intuition, the orc judged it as an opening.
However, it didnt have enough experience to understand it was just a temptation.
Although the orc quickly swung its club, there was no feedback. Ria only moved back a few millimeters, silently piercing through the orcs neck with her katana.
Even if orcs had high vitality, they couldnt live with their nerves severed.
To the orcs laying and groaning on the ground, she had the easy job of granting them swift deaths.
T, thank you Nee-chan.
The kid that was still breathing heavily called out. About ten years old. His looks were well-ordered and intelligent.
While they talked, Lulu and Carlos finally arrived leading Matsukaze.
Wow~. Ojou, even if your opponent is an orc, could you please fight a bit more carefully.
It couldnt be helped. Since I was helping someone.
You are Nee-chans comrades? She saved me. Im Serge. I live in the village nearby.
Im Ria. That is Carlos, and the one holding the wand is Lulu.
Seeing Lulu after she took off her hood, Serge let out a cheer.
Elf! Amazing! I saw one for the first time! Yay~, fantasy~!
Hes surprised to that extent? Ria gazed at the traces of battle while smiling bitterly.
However, its troublesome to clean this place up. Should I char it with fire magic and scatter it in the forest?
Oh, its fine. Leave it to me.
After a moment, the corpse completely vanished.
Oh.
Ria unintentionally let out a voice. But Lulus surprise didnt stop there.
N, no way, space-time magic!?
The highest difficulty magic, a boy in the countryside used it. It was unbelievable for Lulu.
With a boastful face, Serge took care of the corpses. All in all it only took a few minutes.
I buried then in a corner of the village to become fertalizer. Nee-chan, could you give me a lift to the village? Since I used acceleration magic a bit too much, my magic power is exhausted.
Serge asked Ria as Lulu muttered to herself, How could space-time magic
Yeah, thats fine. Matsukaze, give this kid a ride.
Matsukaze nodded with a whinny.
However, it was Serges turn to have a startled face.
Matsukaze?
Yeah, thats this kids name. How is it, a good horse yeah?
However, Serges eyes opened wide, lips trembling with excitement.
[Possibly, are you a reincarnated person?]
Those words spun from his lips.
It was obviously in Japanese.
