Manowa

Chapter 5

Lets battle

==

==

First, lets go to Conrad Town, and then we will think about what to do afterwards Agreeing with Yumikas proposal, they leave the ruin and walks toward the highway.

I didnt meet any when I come earlier, but there should be monsters around here, be careful.

Something like horned rabbit and Chiruchiruhi?

While they are surveying their surroundings, upon hearing Yumikas voice, Kazane asked back. When this was a game, monsters sometimes does appear in this vicinity.

Yep. I heard Raider Dog also tends to appear.

Uwah, thats troublesome. We better prepare those stinking balls again.

Aren't they only useful for Goblins?Raider Dog, or perhaps all dog groups have high sensibility towards smell. Thats why if stink type items were to be thrown at them, at least we can keep them in check. Well its not really a problem if you dont know about it when it was a game.

But its important for us who has limited optionsright.

Hearing Yumikas word, Kazane nods affirmatively.

While moving through the grassland, the two of them are also checking whether enemy display would appear or not at their surroundings. As long as the enemy doesnt have sneak or invisibility, and they pay attention toward enemy displays then they wont encounter any surprise attack.

(Well enemy that can dash from behind is still dangerous though.)

Because of that, Yumika who has some familiarity with the terrain is taking the lead, while Kazane guards the back.

Though they defeated the Goblins, it was completely by a surprise attack. In situations where they havent fight properly even once, it gives birth to fear in Kazanes heart.

(At best, we will be fine even if we encounter a lone horned rabbit)

Ah, Kazane, there is it.

Yumika calls Kazane from the front.

The town?

What are you saying. Of course the highway.

Of course huhwhile complaining Kazane breathed a sigh.

Kazane feels that the difference between game and reality is the field width. From Signa ruin until the highway, she feels like one hour had already passed. They havent met any monster up till now, but for an indoor person like Kazane, the trackless path they tread on is quite severe.

As for Yumika who walks in the front, she most likely doesnt get as tired as Kazane because she had tempered her body in the archery club, plus putting all her bonus points in strength.

Arggh, seriously. Didnt you just said for us, isnt living in this world should be pretty easy. Thats not cool!

Cant be helped. I am a modern child through and through.

Ah. Yes yes.

(Well, if I want to go on a journey, it seems that I better think on how to put my bonus points from now on.

As a self proclaimed healthy gamer, Kazane haven't entirely doubted her own stamina, but the current her is seriously still lacking and incapable to survive in this fantasy world. She swear in her heart that she will think of how to distribute her bonus stat points the next time she levels up.

After entering the paved road, Kazane finally takes a short rest.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Fuuh. We finally reached the highway, but does this road still reduce the monster encounter ratio?

Seems so. I heard they put Tormarna stone which monsters hated so, monsters rarely approach it. I was escorted by peddlers until around here, but we didnt meet any monsters part wa

Around this area is still like the setting. Well, even though the encounter ratio is low, it doesnt mean they wont appear at all though.

Kazane said while she surveyed their surroundings.

Yup, I think we still need another few hours of walking. And if we havent reached the town by sunset, it might be troublesome. Hearing those words, scream escaped from Kazanes mouth.

It only needs 20 minutes in game

Dont complain. Lets go.

Roger

Then, after they had walked for around two hoursthey heard the sounds of battle.

***

Yumika, look at that.

uh huh.

Hearing Kazanes word, Yumika looks forward with a grim expression.

From ahead the highway that continues as if cutting through the forest, sounds of scream, shouts, and even the clashing of metallic objects could be heard.

They are being attacked. Perhaps monsters?

Yumika nods as dhe agrees with Kazane.

What to do?

I think we should help them. Monsters in this area shouldn't be a big deal

Hearing Kazanes words, Yumika was startled and her shoulder quivered, gulping down her saliva, but when she looks at Kazane again she put on a determined face.

Alright.

Yep.

Then the two of them ran.

Therere some people in the carriage. They were attacked by Raider Dog.

You can see it clearly? Ah, probably because of that.

Yumika remember Kazanes skill [[Night Vision]]. Its not even dusk yet but the inside the forest is dark because the lights were hindered by trees. Also, the trees that wind up to the road are preventing her to see ahead, so except of the thought that some things were moving, she cant see anything.

Distance 500 meters. Its possible that the fight will end before they arrived if the side being attacked doesnt have any combat capabilitiesthought Kazane.

This might be bad.

That words leaks from Kazanes mouth.

We wont made it in time?

Yup. Lets dash Yumika.

(Even if you said dash)

They didnt wear armour but the weight of their sword and spear prevents them from moving faster than this. Before that, they are already exhaustedwhile Yumika is stil thinking, Kazane opens the window with [[command open]].

Skill: Fly. All party members.

Kazanes and Yumikas body starts to float.

Wait!?

Fly!

They didnt grow any higher, but they are floating near the ground.

Different from the first time, now Kazane can accurately control their flying, passing through the gaps between trees, taking shortcuts from winding highway, they are soaring with full speed.

Uwaaahhhhh!!!

Yumika let out scream that wasn't suitable coming from a girl, but its not Kazanes concern. Well, because shes too focused in controlling the fly, though.

We are here!!

Fugah!

At the same time, flying magic's effect disappeared because it run out of magic power and they landed on the highway's ground, making side crashing sounds. Leaving aside Kazane who have perfectly controlled it, Yumika almost tumbled.

Kazane thought that she will only fly as far as she can, but after her level increased by 5 her magic power amount have also increased. And since theyre not ascending but moving forward at fixed altitude, she successfully reduced its consumption so they can fly until they reach their destination.

What is that?

They can hear voices from the carriage.

We came to help.

Kazane answers while drawing her sword.

(Lets think of it as a saving merchant event)

Oh, thats great.

He also only answers like that. Since hes currently preoccupied with fighting against Raider dogs, he cant give any further reply.

But the attacking raider dogs are different. Two raider dogs growls and attack Kazane.

Yumika, ball!

Ahok! Just like how they have arranged before they meet with the monsters, Yumika takes the stinking balls from her pocket and throw it to the dogs.

KuunG!

As the stinking ball hit the ground and break, the two raider dogs growls and became stiffened.

Now!

Without hesitation Kazane swings her sword. With a slash and an unpleasant feedback, the raider dogs head fall to the ground.

One more! As Kazane moves her sight towards the next one, that raider dog have already recovered from its shock caused by the smell, and it was getting ready to pounce.

(Oh no!)

Kazane had almost subconsciously screamed, but a spear that was thrusted from the side managed to hit the raider dog, causing it to fall to the ground.

Thanks Yumika!

No problem.

Yumika's sight moves into the direction of the carriage.

(3...no, 4. Against one old man and one young man)

Old man, itll flinch for a second, go kill it! Yumika, do it!!

Alright!

With a big swing Yumika throw the stinking ball in the direction of that middle aged man.

Yosha!

After the middle aged man saw the opening, he kills them with the swings of his halberd.

Two more. They start to deal with rest of it safely.
