Chapter 39: The Demon King and the Guardian

"Sister Nana was very angry when she found out about me, so she ...... Natalie, I may not be able to continue my adventures with you. ”

Outside a small church in the southern part of Yod, Anna, a priest, said to Natalie with an apologetic face.

"Ahaha...... It's okay. After all, you're a priest, so you can go to a better adventure party, and you don't need to stay in a small party like mine. Natalie smiled a little forcefully.

"I'm so sorry." The girl bowed and returned to the church.

Looking at the departing girl, Natalie couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hard to be an adventurer......"

A group of people fought desperately, but the income was only a pitiful few silver coins, and after deducting the cost of food, equipment and treatment, not only did they not make a few dollars, but they also had the potential to lose money.

Faced with such a predicament, Natalie couldn't help but feel an urge to return to the village......

"Nope! No way! Natalie slapped her face hard, "I just left the village, how can I give up so easily!" ”

……

When Natalie returns to the city to deliver money to the priest maiden, Green is alone with twin shields, hunting rabbits in the endless grasslands.

Having said that, because of a certain maid behind him, Green was actually playing soy sauce the whole time.

A little white rabbit had just emerged, and then I saw a girl rushing over like a mad dog, and cut the horned rabbit in half with a sword! Many times Green has not even seen the shadow of the longhorn rabbit, and the rabbit has already been killed.

Looking at the active maid lady, Green's mood was very complicated: "...... Chikage, you're really active. ”

The black-haired maid looked around expressionlessly: "Master, it's not safe here. ”

"Ah, it's okay." Green held up the two shields in his hand, "Those rabbits can't hurt me." ”

"Master, I will protect you!" The maid's expression was very serious.

“…… Thank you. ”

Although it feels a bit like eating soft rice, it ......

Well, forget it. There's a free thug, at least in terms of efficiency.

Due to the presence of a thousand shadows, Green only had to go on a rampage across the grassland, and the longhorned rabbits rushed out like moths to a flame, crashing headlong into the maid's sword.

Soon, Green had collected a backpack of meat, leather, and horn.

"This efficiency is quite good~" Grimm thought to himself, "It's at least three times more efficient than me alone!" ”

At this moment, there was a thunderclap in the sky!

!!!

"Thunderhorn Bunny!" Green instantly became excited, "There has been!" ”

Green rushed in one direction.

"By the way, Chikage, if you see yellow rabbits, don't kill them. That live is more valuable. ”

Chikage: "Yes." ”

Green and his party ran in the direction from which the voice came.

The grasslands are so spacious that thunder can be heard far away.

In the other direction, a druid, with an animal skin around his waist, rides on the back of a leopard and passes by with several pets.

Hearing the sudden sound of thunder, the druid looked in the direction where the thunder was coming from.

"Is there another Thunderhorn Rabbit?" The leopard took the druid and walked in the direction where the thunder came.

Perhaps because of the leopard's deterrence, there was no long-eyed horned rabbit sneaking up on the druids and his party.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the druid raised his eyebrows and looked ahead.

Not far ahead, there was a teenager who was clutching a yellow Thunderhorn Rabbit.

"The boy is...... That adventurer who loves animal cruelty I met not long ago! The druid looked at the boy with hostility in his eyes.

As allies of nature, druids are receptive to hunting for survival, but resentful of senseless killing and abuse. If it was a real creature that was abused, the druid would have tasted the "wrath of nature" to the teenager, but because it was only some labyrinthine creatures that were abused, the druid endured it and did not have a seizure.

However, this does not mean that the druids can accept such behavior.

The druid looked at the boy with a diskind face.

Suddenly! The druid felt his hairs stand on end! Immediately afterward, the world swirled......

"That's ......" The last thing the druid saw was his blood-spurting lower body and the black-haired maid standing behind him.

It was an indifferent girl.

The skin is as white as pearls, and the waist-length black hair is neatly combed, giving people an elegant and noble feeling, like the eldest lady of a classical aristocratic family.

At this time, the girl was putting away her sword with an indifferent face, and there was a coldness on her body, which made people feel chills just by looking at it!

……

Green grew his mouth and looked stupidly at the druids who were beheaded in half not far away, as well as their animal companions.

Standing among the blood and corpses on the ground, the girl indifferently put away her sword.

"Chikage, you...... Why did you kill him...... Guys? Green couldn't help but exclaim.

"He is hostile to his master."

"Hostile to me?" Green glanced at the druid's corpse, the corners of his mouth twitching, "That druid is an animal protectionist, and he does have some hostility towards me, but he won't die." ”

The girl walked up to Green, knelt down on one knee, and looked at Green's eyes with a hint of warmth: "I am a battle maid, the sword and shield of my master, and protecting my master is the meaning of my existence." As long as it is the enemy of the master, even the gods, I will kill them! ”

The firm will in the girl's tone made Green tremble.

She's serious!

“…… If it's just hostility and no action, there's no need to kill, right? Green's expression stiffened. Could this maid lady be the legendary sick girl?

"Then let them completely lose their ability to resist." The girl looked at the Thunderhorn Rabbit in Green's hand.

Green looked down at the horned rabbit in his hand, and then at the girl's eyes. Suddenly, Green realizes that he may have to say goodbye to the ordinary adventurous life.

……

With mixed feelings, Green returned to Yoder City with a longhorned rabbit and a shield that had been transformed by the magic of Chaos.

When Grimm came out of the Endless Labyrinth, it was night on the Main Plane.

Glancing at the silver moon hanging in the sky, Green took a deep breath and walked towards the tavern he had agreed with Natalie.

While passing by an alley, two drunkards saw Green and walked towards Green with a hippie smile.

"Yo ~ chick, ...... with us"

"Huh!"

"Ahh ~”

"Whoa!"

……

With a burst of wind and screams, the limbs of the two drunkards were cut off in an instant!

Looking at the drunkard who had lost his limbs and was screaming on the ground, Green was dumbfounded.

"Damn! It's better to kill them directly! Green looked mad.

"Master, do you want me to kill them?" A girl's voice came from Green's shadow.

"Forget it." Green ran over with a puff of smoke, "Can't you just knock them out?" ”

"Since it's the owner's expectation, I'll try to knock them out next time."

Before the screams of the two drunks drew the guards in, Green quickly slipped out of the alley and headed in the direction of the tavern.
