Giant Wood Camp.

"Everything is lost, these people are really naked thieves and robbers." Orlan returns to Camp Giant Wood to find that it is empty, and the Brotherhood of Hunters, who had brought horses and supplies, is now completely gone. The main thing is that William entrusted his goods to these people in the first place, and it is not surprising that it turned out to be like this.

"Maybe they've taken your stuff back for safekeeping." Lilian looked at Oran's face was horribly gloomy, like a lion who had been stolen by a jackal.

"Yes, anyway, I'm going to go back to them to settle accounts, and then I'll use their heads to press the bottom of the box." Orlan isn't the kind of person who doesn't know how to be flexible, it's just a little scary.

There was nothing they were looking for here, so there was no need for the two of them to linger any longer.

Along the way, the relationship between Lillian and Oran gradually changed. Although from the outside, Oran is still the same cold silver hair with a paralyzed face, but his words began to slowly increase. Even when talking to Lillian about the Hunter, he would occasionally give a few Hunter sneers to the Brotherhood of Hunters.

This was undoubtedly caused by the nagging old hunter over the years, but the only good thing was that Oran did not inherit the old hunter's habit of drinking all the time.

Wine is a spicy and bitter thing for Oran, and it can also make people lose the keen intuition of a hunter. Ever since that accident when I got drunk...... Wine became the last thing Oran wanted to touch.

In Lilian's eyes, Orlan gradually transformed from a magical and powerful woman like a worldly master to a living person of flesh and blood. At least it doesn't feel like it's far away, both mentally and physically.

During this time, Lilian became more and more clingy, and even became like a little girl who did not grow up, and found her innocence and childlike joy in this primeval jungle far away from the world. It's hard to imagine that a powerful knight with his hands stained with enemy blood on the battlefield, and a valiant knight who is eager to try even when facing the Giant King, would be a blonde girl who has just reached Orlan's chest.

From Kai's cautious and respectful attitude towards Oran, he was later treated as a friend, so much so that now he is a little presumptuous and sloppy.

"Oran, can you put this flower on your head? It feels like a good match for your silver hair. ”

“…… Do not wear it. ”

"Oran, find me another blue bird, red one too!"

“…… Can't find it. ”

"Oran, what are we going to eat tonight? I want to eat roast chicken, the kind wrapped in mud. ”

"Only jerky tonight."

"Oran, let's go take a bath in the water together, it's really uncomfortable that we haven't washed for many days."

“…… To wash yourself washes. "Oran sometimes doesn't understand why women are so fickle, and more presumptuous and rude. Don't think that he doesn't know the common sense that men and women can't bathe together!

"Hmph, what's the matter, it's all women, what are you afraid of, I won't eat you! Hehe, are you afraid that it will be too peaceful there to compare to me? Lillian muttered.

"Huh? What did you say. Oran, who had already gone far, did not hear clearly.

It's a pity that the two have been walking together for so long, and Orlan doesn't have the consciousness to think that Lillian will think of him as a woman. And Lillian, based on her instincts alone, believes in her own ideas for no reason.

I wish Lillian saw Orlan standing and shushing someday, huh...... Maybe this girl with a hole in her brain will think that this is some kind of strange "trick"?

……

The journey will come to an end.

Black smoke from burning wafted in the sky, and flocks of scavenging birds wandered, and a dead silence could be felt around the land before you even got close to the village.

"We might be in trouble again, this is the village we must pass through on the way to Odingaan, and we thought we could resupply here. But the plan seems to have failed. ”

"It's flocks of scavenging birds, something that usually comes out after war. But no matter how remote this is, it is also Sutton Lier's territory, so it shouldn't be a war. Lily pointed to the flock of black birds in the sky, and she finally had a chance to "explain" to Oran.

The horses were walking along the road leading to the village, and then they saw corpses hanging from the tall branches of the trees on the side of the road. The most of them are adult males, tied hand and foot, and hanged from a tree with a black hood. This is the usual measure after the war has sacked villages, and it is a demonstration of those who survived.

"Stop, stop. Get off your horses, or shoot you into a hornet's nest with arrows!" "A group of wicked men in red leather armor were guarding the junction with knives and swords, and some were still on the rooftops with bows and arrows aimed at Oran.

"You are...... Bandit? ”

"Bah, who's going to pay him back is a robber. We are an undead legion following Lord Ted, and now I declare you and your horse, and that pretty chick behind you to be our property! The robber leader licked his lips and looked at Lillian wickedly.

And Oran, hiding in the hood, showed only the lower half of his face, apparently not attracting the attention of the robbers. Maybe he just thought of Orlan as an ordinary hunter.

"What undead bullshit legion, don't tell me your legion is not yet fifty people. Hahaha, tell your Legion Leader to come out to me, and I'll meet him as the Leader of the Arnos Lion Legion. Lillian stepped forward, and a burst of momentum made the bandit leader a little stunned.

"Ahh If you want to see us Lord Ted, you can get her off for me first...... Uh"

The robber leader retorted loudly with a red face, but before he could utter a slewd remark, Lillian rushed forward with a short sword and stabbed him through the throat. The bandit minions around him, whose faces were still sneering were now full of astonishment.

Such a murderous girl who does not agree with each other, this is the first time that they have seen a group of hillbilly robbers.

At the same time that Lillian drew her sword, two arrows from Oran's bow had already been fired. I was expecting the soldiers standing on the roof with crossbows to start a deterrent effect, but in a blink of an eye, two people rolled down. The remaining two men had barely drawn their bows and loaded their crossbows when they felt a biting chill, and it was too late.

"Ahh ...... "The other seven or eight robbers with swords and guns and halberds roared and rushed up.

Orlan didn't even move his steps when he stood still, silently counting the arrows in his heart, and the remaining arrows were decreasing one by one. Lilian's ornate sword dance dodged, sideways, and jumped through the crowd, each flicker of the blade bringing up a string of bright red. It didn't take a few breaths for the robbers to fall to the ground like straw.

"Save the last one."

"Well, but I'm still a head away from catching up with you, so I can't count you win!"
