Seth: We're about to go to Serefieu, which is on the border between Runes and Gulard.

As long as you cross the border, you will be the territory of the Gurads......

Then the city of Rebar is also close at hand.

Erec: yes. If you can cross the border safely......!

Is that?

――――

Erec: ...... What are those?

What are those?

So weird look......

Don't...... Not human?

Seth: It's also the first time I've seen a monster like this.

What the hell are they......

――――

Asrae: Ah, gods.

Why is this happening......

In this land guarded by the [Holy Stone], such an impure monster will appear......

Lute: ......

Asrae: Miss Rutte, it's dangerous out there.

Please stay in this village for the time being......

Lute: That's a zombie.

In ancient times, they were the demon vanguard of the Demon King.

They are recorded in Book II, Book 7, Section 8, The Book of Nazania.

Asrae: Do you know anything about these monsters?

Lute: Because I'm good.

Roughly remembered.

According to the book, zombies rely on their sharp claws to attack their targets.

It's just my speculation, but if I get it, I'm afraid it will hurt.

Asrae: In general, in short......

I'm going to help the villagers.

You are responsible for protecting the villagers in the village.

Lute: Okay.

I don't care.

Lute: Magic is great power.

No matter how thick the armor is, it is powerless in the face of magic......

It's an excellent learning goal for me.

Even if the monsters really wanted to destroy the village, as long as I was there, there would be no problem.

――――

Asrae: Fellow travelers, this Left Saba Gusen is dangerous right now.

Please go south through the forest as soon as possible.

While you haven't been surrounded by monsters yet.

Arek: Are you?

Asrae: My name is Asrae.

On the orders of the priests, all the monsters were to be purified.

But there are so many monsters that I don't know if I can stop them......

But please get away now.

Erec: Monsters?

Do you mean those monsters that were under the command of the Demon King in ancient times?

But aren't those things from the legends?

Asrae: Yes, I didn't believe it at first.

However, in fact, monsters have appeared in various places now.

Not only in the country of Runes, but also in various places, strange monsters have appeared......

Erech: How so...... Why is this happening?

Seth: Miss Ereko, the monsters are coming here!

Asrae: Leave it to me.

Asrae: Unclean monsters, get out of here!

Seth: Let's start fighting too.

Miss Ereko, please prepare for the attack.

Asrae: There's my companion in that village to the south.

If you get to the village, please help her.

Asrae: Everyone, please hide in the forest as much as possible.

Erec: Why?

Seth: Even if you're on the battlefield, it's common sense to be in the woods.

As long as you hide in the forest, then the enemy's attack will not be easy to hit.

Erec: I see, I see.

Just hide in the forest as much as possible, right?

――――

Rachel: Ah, that's amazing!

Good travelers are being attacked by evil monsters.

Dozra: Yes!

It seems that it is so, Miss Rachel!

Rachel: It's not going to go on like this.

Let's go!

Just rush down from here and help those who are under attack!

Renak: Don't, if you rush down this cliff, we'll be the ones who die.

Only look around for other ways down......

Rachel: Makes sense.

Then hurry up and find it.

I, Rachel, will not allow evil monsters to run rampant!

――――

Asrae: Miss Lute, you're alright.

Lute: ......

Asrae: Miss Lute?

Lute: In my opinion, you're a very curious creature.

It doesn't look like a zombie.

Asrae: Well, of course.

Those travelers helped me purify many monsters, and in return, I wanted to travel with them for a while.

Help them.

Miss Ruth, what are your plans?

Lute: Yes.

Then I'll go with Asrae too.

If a magician like me joins, everyone will be happy to welcome me.

Because I'm good.

――――

Lute: ......

Erec: ?

You are?

Lute: In my opinion, you're a very curious creature.

It doesn't look like a zombie.

Erec: Well, of course.

Are you from the village?

It's better not to go out for now......

Lute: No, my name is Lute.

It is a magician with outstanding talents that has not been encountered in a hundred years.

You helped defeat the monsters, so I'm going to help you for the time being.

You must be happy to have a magician like mine take the initiative to help you.

Because I'm good.

Erec: What a strange person......

――――

Seth: All the monsters have been destroyed.

But just in case, let's burn their bones.

Erec: I didn't expect a monster to appear in Runes' territory......

I thought monsters were just legends......

Seth: Legend has it that zombies are nothing more than the lowest level of monsters......

But after the battle just now, I feel that they have more power than ordinary soldiers.

What a careless enemy.

Ruth: It's not just zombies and mummies.

Skeletons, Devildogs, Gargoyles, Poisonous Spiders......

These monsters, which are all recorded in the books, may appear in the future.

No matter how good I am, I probably can't avoid a hard battle.

Asrae: God...... Could this be a precursor to some impending disaster......

Erec: ......

What will happen?

Seth: Princess Ereco, should we go back to Freria first?

It's not just the Emperor Gurad**, but now even monsters have appeared.

If we continue like this, I am afraid it will be dangerous.

Arek: Indeed...... I can also feel an inexplicable uneasiness.

But that's why I had to rescue my brother as soon as possible.

Maybe my decision will put everyone in danger, but I please.

Seth: I see.

I will protect you, Princess Ereco.

――――

Rachel: Alright, evil monsters!

Come to your senses!

Let Rachel defeat you once and for all!

Erec: ......

Rachel: Huh? Where are the monsters?

Erec: We've just been ......

Rachel: Ah, that's great!

God will be pleased, too.

However, there are some regrets.

I came in such a hurry, I wanted you to see my gorgeous battle.

Dozra: Yes!

What a pity, Miss Rachel!

Renak: I hope you can be careless when you give random instructions to others......

Erec: Rude, may I ask you?

Rachel: Me?

Now that I've been asked, I can't help but report my name.

That's right! I am!

The ...... of Light of the Holy Church of Roston

Dozra: No!

No, Miss Rachel!

We can't reveal our real identities here!

Rachel: Ah, you're right.

I almost forgot about it.

We have to leave quickly without saying a word in order to reflect our magnificence.

Erec: The ......

Rachel: Then everyone, please take care.

We'll see you again if we have the fate.

Okay, let's go.

Dozra, Reynak.

Dozra: Yes!

Gone, Reynak!

Renak: Yes......

Erec: ...... What the hell is going on?
