Hi, long time no see, everyone. Remember me? I'm Jessica.

It's been 7 or 8 days since she inherited the dragon-slaying magic from Avril the other day. Unexpectedly, she was thrown into this wild jungle by Avril the night when she had just learned the magic of slaying dragons. Now I am working hard to get out of the jungle. It's really hard, securing food is more difficult than I thought, and I don't want to try suspicious plants that I don't know unless I have to.

Not to mention that there are too many natural and deadly traps in the dense forest, and now this situation is that a little bit of water and soil adaptation, and the detachment caused by diarrhea may leave a small life under the strange color of the giant flower to become its bait.

Therefore, it is necessary to preserve the body's perfect state, and it must not be caused by the problem of drinking and eating.

Well? You ask me why am I out of breath?

"Monkey, can you stop chasing after you, why don't you just take a few bananas from you?"

Jessica, who was galloping fast, was chasing a group of monkeys, a dozen or so of them. Monkeys of all sizes swung from tree to tree in hot pursuit, picking up stones and throwing them from time to time.

Jessica staggered and ran with a handful of banana-shaped fruits, although she had tried her best to escape as fast as she could, but the road was too rough, and it was really not fast to dodge hidden weapons. On the other hand, the monkeys are rapidly approaching because it is the home field. The momentum is violent, as if there is a revenge for killing his father.

Here's the thing. In the evening, Jessica went out to look for food, but she never found a safe fruit, and when she was anxious, she finally saw a group of monkeys gathering for dinner, which was a ripe banana. It seemed that safety was guaranteed, so Jessica started the idea of this monkey ration.

But it seems that the group of monkeys will not leave for a while, and it is impossible for Jessica to approach without alarming the group of monkeys, and if she is not careful, she will be attacked by the group.

So Jessica had a bad idea. Jessica ran to the upper hand of the monkeys, piled up a few piles of wet wood and raised smoke, and the smoked monkeys were miserable and drove the monkeys away.

But Jessica didn't stay complacent for long, and after walking a distance, the angry monkeys chased after him with red eyes. Many of these monkeys are black and gray, so it's no wonder that the monkeys are so angry and persistent.

Seeing that Jessica was about to be caught up, and when the nearest monkey was ready to pounce, the field of vision in front of him suddenly widened. But he ran to a clearing on the shore of a large lake.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jessica immediately mentioned the highest speed and sprinted. The monkeys who lost the woods suddenly slowed down significantly, and the distance began to slowly widen.

"Squeak squeak squeak" The angry monkeys still did not give up, rushed out of the forest and continued to chase and kill.

Jessica saw that she had no choice but to plunge headlong into the lake. When he reappeared, he had reached the middle of the lake, and he was free from the entanglement, leaving only the send-off cry of the monkeys.

By the time Jessica got her groomed and returned to the camping ground, the sun had already set. In the distance, I saw a bonfire in front of a dead tree, a natural tree hole some way from the lake.

Jessica was just as she approached the campfire when a figure pounced. "Jessica, why are you so slow today?"

Jessica hurriedly put down the banana in her arms and hugged the little figure. "Sorry Wendy, I'm worried about you. How's the preparation for camping? Jessica digressed and didn't tell Wendy about the scene she was chasing.

The cute Lori in front of her is named Wendy, and like Jessica, she is also a dragon slayer. Wendy was raised by a dragon named Grantigne, but Grantigne was the same, and on July 7th, Wendy disappeared when she put her next to Jessica.

Unlike the water dragon slaying magic that Jessica learned from the water dragon Avril Lavigne, the sky dragon slaying magic mastered by Glatine the celestial dragon is a secondary magic that heals wounds, dissolves ailments, and increases support, but Wendy has not yet learned it due to her young age.

Now the two are on a journey, trying to find the traces of the celestial dragon - Grandige and the water dragon - Avril - in their adventure.

It seems like it's been a long journey, though. As she slept late at night, Jessica looked up at the full moon that had risen in the sky and thought to herself. I don't know if it's a feature of this world. According to the time, today should be July 15th, but the sky is a round of moon-gazing.

No matter which world is the same, when you see the moonlight, the feeling of longing will always surface, and it is even more intense when the moon is full. Maybe it's because the silence of the night is more likely to cause loneliness.

Wendy leaned sideways to Jessica, clinging to her. After a few days of getting along, Jessica and Wendy have become very close.

"Jessica, what do you say Avril and Glentigne are doing now?"

"Missed them?"

"Well, I wonder if they're okay? Are you thinking about us~~"

"It's going to be fine, those two." Jessica tried her best to dispel Wendy's uneasiness.

"I don't know if they're asleep now, if they're looking at the same moon." Wendy is trying her best to find common ground, to draw a line with Grantigne, who is far away and somewhere else, to get closer.

It was already late at night, and all around was the sound of the summer breeze blowing, and the sound of bonfires opening.

“！！？？”

For a moment, Jessica only felt a chill rising from her back, something was wrong! The tense body bounced up at once.

'What was that just now?' Ignoring Wendy's suspicious expression, Jessica traced the source of the ominous chill just now.

It was as if he was being looked at with disgust and undisguised, and a cold knife was put on his neck. Suddenly, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in Jessica's heart, hatred, anger, and

Killing Intent!!

A sharp cry of "squeak" pierced the eardrums, and an arrow shadow rushed out of the shadows that could not be illuminated by the campfire, and rushed straight at the two of them. The elongated shadow in the light of the fire had covered Jessica.

"Don't think about it!!" Although the other party's speed was amazingly fast and it was a sudden night attack, Fujessica, who was chilling just now, still reacted in time, and directly got up and threw his arm to drive the attacker out. Then it was blocked directly in front of the hole in the dead tree.

After being blocked by Jessica, the attacker did not blindly attack, but simply retreated directly behind the grass outside the campfire and hid in the dark.

What's going on? Suddenly, it struck.

"Jessica is alright! What? Wendy was visibly shocked by the suddenness.

"It's okay, it's probably a nearby beast or something, it can be solved soon and leave it to me. Wendy, just stay inside and don't come out. Jessica gave Wendy a reassurance. In fact, the situation is not as simple as Jessica said, that terrible look, and that killing intent.

However, as a man, of course, you have to carry your own worries and burdens, otherwise Wendy, who regards Jessica as her pillar, will definitely be even more uneasy. Come on, Jessica, now you have the precious people you want to protect.

Jessica forced herself to compose herself, using her slack five senses to search for the enemy. Judging from the momentary contact, the attacker was a small animal the size of a bobcat, fast, stealthy, and cunning. Now he is hiding in the shadows and waiting for the right time to pounce, just like an assassin. Fortunately, as long as you hold this narrow entrance, you can block it, and it looks like this attacker is not very strong.

The night was still silent, as if the scene had just been an illusion. The campfire, which was much weaker than it had been at the beginning, struggled to sway, and there were few places to shine, especially the inside of the tree hole, which could only be maintained by a few beams of moonlight through the hole.

Wait a minute! Moonlight? Holes? Not good!

Jessica spun around and lunged at Wendy, and at some point the attacker went around the dead tree, sneaking through a few small holes and pounced on Wendy, who was incapacitated.

"Ahhhh

But how could this stop this murderous adversary. The assailant pounced on Wendy, revealing their claws that reflected cold light in mid-air, and swung them down fiercely.

'Poof~~' With the sound of her clothes pulling and tearing, Jessica arrived in time to hug Wendy and meet the blow with her back.

A heavy impact came, and Jessica not only did not get knocked down, but shook her back. Relying directly on the advantage of size, he knocked the attacker out of the way and fell into the corner of the tree hole. But it wasn't without a price, Jessica's coat was torn open by sharp claws with several large cracks. If it weren't for the attacker's claws being too short, the original target was not Jessica, and there was no choice in a hurry, Jessica would not only have tore her coat, but also had to add a few cuts.

"Wendy!! Before she could recover from the one-round encounter, Jessica dragged Wendy out of the tree hole. The terrain here is too narrow and there are many ditches, which is obviously more suitable for opponents of the size of the attacker, and it is simply the opponent's home field. And fighting in that kind of place, Jessica simply can't take care of Wendy.

In fact, Jessica also has the luxury of hoping that the attackers will give up chasing them if they take the initiative to retreat. After all, a pointless fight could be avoided - Jessica hadn't thought she could escape from her attackers so quickly - but Jessica's heart sank when she remembered the murderous and hateful look she felt. I'm afraid that the attackers won't just let them go.

Jessica handed Wendy the backpack that she copied into the other hand during the strategic retreat of the escape~~, and tried her best to be able to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

"Jessica: What's that? Got rid of it? Wendy asked, out of breath.

"Nope! It looks like we're being targeted. He looked at the grass around him, and although he found nothing in the darkness, the look of hatred on his back did not disappear. Jessica felt that those blood-colored eyes were hiding in the darkness and staring at them, and they might pounce at any moment. This feeling of being stuck in the throat is not good.

Although I don't know why the other party has such a deep hatred and wants to target them like this, since I can't avoid it, then it's up to me to decide the battlefield.

Jessica, who made up her mind, made a detour in the other direction. There is a river, and because it is a tributary of the lake on the opposite side, the water is gentle, which is just right for Jessica to be the main field of battle. As long as Jessica's dragon slaying magic is near the water source, she will get twelve points to play.

Closer, Jessica could already hear the sound of running water.

After climbing over a large tree, Jessica and Wendy are presented with an empty meadow and a gentle river. Yes, this is the ideal arena. Jessica was overjoyed.

I don't know if I felt the disadvantage of the terrain or simply couldn't wait, but the attacker carried a gust of wind pressure out of the grass next to him. The target is still directed at Wendy, who is dragged behind by Jessica.

Seeing this, Jessica pushed Wendy, "Wendy, run, run to the river and stop." He turned and faced the attacker. In general, terrestrial creatures are not very good at swimming. When there is a choice, the priority of prey away from the river in front of you and prey standing in the river behind is already obvious. What's more, under the provocation of the prey in front of him, who dares not to know whether he is alive or dead.

Yes, Jessica condensed her magic and summoned a water whip aimed at the attacker's mark. Despite the attacker's incredible speed, the magic flashed quickly, and the magic only hit the ground next to it. But the splash of the whip still didn't dodge, and he was drenched.

So the attacker, who felt provoked, turned around and angrily pounced on Jessica. In the blink of an eye, the two of them - oh! No, another round of man-beast duel has begun.

Jessica, who had been prepared, flashed sideways, and was a little complacent when she easily let go of this pounce. But immediately Jessica's face changed to look like the expression she had when she found out that the apple had worms when she ate it, and it was still half a one.

The attacker who staggered by turned around and confronted Jessica, and faintly cut off the road between Jessica and the creek. However, this also gave Jessica a glimpse of the mysterious attacker for the first time.

Oily black and shiny fur, long slender tail, large front teeth, and short limbs. Jessica's eyes couldn't help but widen, no wonder Jessica had this expression, it turned out that the opponent who had just driven Jessica and the two to jump everywhere was a big mouse!

Jessica and the rat confronted each other, and Wendy arrived safely on the riverside, and the battle was about to break out.
