Chapter 2: Doodle Valley
 

An ominous aura filled the forest.
 
Sensing it once again, I exchanged glances with Kimijima.
 
“It’s coming. Stay alert.”
 
“Another high-level monster? This is the second time today!”
 
Nishina also tensed up, scanning our surroundings.
 
The four of us held our breaths, trying not to make a sound as we gauged the atmosphere around us. I crouched low, my right hand gripping the hilt of my sword, my thumb resting on the guard.… Read more

Chapter 1: One Crisis Over, Another Begins
 

 
Several days had passed since we returned from the depths of Gallar Blue.
 
Camilla, who had come to our rescue, was about to return to Vardzur, where the state military headquarters were located. Amidst all this, I was called to meet with her alone.
 
Entering the office of Yarzak, the state military outpost in Doodle Valley, I was greeted by Camilla and Yarzak.
 
“How are you holding up?… Read more

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
 
“If it gets dangerous, Sensei will help me!”
 
“O-oh, right.”
 
…Hm? As we’re talking, I sense something coming from up ahead. It might be quite a large group.
 
“Kimijima. Something’s coming.”
 
“Yes.”
 
We hurriedly slip into the forest at the side of the road. We hide among the thick leaves, both of us holding our breath. “Bear with it for a bit, okay?” Kimijima says as she closes the lid of her bag to hide Mera.… Read more

The next day, thinking it might be safe enough, we started walking along the road around noon. Looking at Kimijima, I could see the red chick peeking its face out from the top of her bag as it swayed.
 
“Sensei. I was thinking of naming this little one. Do you have any good ideas?”
 
“It thinks you’re its mother, right? So you should come up with a good name for it.”
 
“Hmm…”
 
Names, huh.… Read more

Chapter 8: Arrival
 

 
The fact that I had killed someone wouldn’t disappear, but it was how I managed to protect Kimijima. Thinking this way, I faced forward.
 
Wary of another attack from the boar-faced monster we encountered earlier, we quickly moved away from that spot. The three companions of Carton who had escaped ahead of us were running down the road, so we could anticipate that if there were any monsters along the way, they would have already engaged in battle with them.… Read more

 
I don’t know what to say to Kimijima, who looks up at me anxiously. There’s no doubt that Kimijima is beautiful. I know that. Her personality isn’t bad either. It’s thanks to her that we’ve managed to escape this far. I can even respect her as an impressive woman.
 
But… I don’t know.
 
No, I vaguely sensed that Kimijima had feelings for me beyond just being companions in this escape. Being relied on by such a beautiful woman – I can’t deny that a part of me was slightly thrilled by that sensation, even though I thought it was wrong.… Read more

“Whew. What a beauty. What are you doing in a place like this?”
 
“We… we got lost…”
 
“Lost? Come on. You don’t end up in a place like this just by getting lost. Are you from the state army?”
 
“State army? No… we’re not…”
 
“Hmm…”
 
The mage eyed us nervously.
 
“Hey, Focal. Don’t bully them too much,”
 
Damn… he looked even more intimidating up close. He was easily over two meters tall.… Read more

The next day, as soon as the sun rose and it started to get bright, we set off immediately. We started on the last of our portable food we had received initially. We nibbled on it while preparing.
 
“That’s the end of our seven portable food rations. It’s good we got extras from Nishina and the others.”
 
“Yes… It would be nice if we could meet up with the people making that smoke today.”… Read more

After being attacked by the wolf monsters, we continue with heightened caution.
 
Three more days pass. We’re still alive. The roadside shelters we used to see are no longer visible. Perhaps that area used to have more monster appearances in the past.
 
Finally, it seems Kimijima has reached her second level increase. As expected, her progression is slower compared to me, who’s been dealing the final blows. I thought the third level increase would come first for her, but I’ve leveled up ahead of her.… Read more

Chapter 7: Heaven’s Fall
 

 
Morning at the shelter. I stretch to loosen my stiff body.
 
Last night, Kimijima said, “It might be a magical tool.” Those words stick with me, and I take out the bracelet from my backpack. It was found under a large bone. If a person attacks with a spear, it might have an effect that enhances their physical abilities.
 
As I stare at the bracelet, pondering, Kimijima approaches.… Read more
