The strategy that was made mainly with a special ability, is reasonable.
But, it pisses me off.
I couldn’t speak, so I told them using body language.
「You mean……you’ll take care of the rest」
I nodded.
「You bastard! Are you mocking us!」
“Un, that’s right”, I wanted to say that.
Because of these incompetents, I couldn’t watch a woman being wounded.
「……can I ask you of that?」
「Saint-sama?!」
「Let’s leave it to him. If it would save the village, it’s no different whoever does it」
「Then, please leave it to us」
「Rather than this unknown man, under God’s name, we willーー」
I charged to the men with the longsword in its sheath. With the sheath, I hit all of them, and made them lose consciousness.
As expected, because Melissa wasn’t praying, the damage did not went to her, and everyone lost their consciousness.
It may have been better if I cut them.
「You……」
To Melissa who was surprised, with body language again. I told her to wait here.
「……I got it, please do」
I jumped inside the forest.
I am so pissed off. I slashed into two the tree spirit that I encountered.
As soon as it came out, I slashed at it.
After slashing around ten of them, I regained my composure a little.
「How many is there left」
『Do you want me to teach you』
「Can you tell?」
『Draw me』
I drew her as Eleanor had told me. And then, inside my head, somehow, I could faintly feel the location of the tree spirits.
There was a map inside of my head, and it feels like a dot was notifying.
「This is amazing」
『Leave it to me when it comes to spirits』
「That was right. Yosh, let’s hurry up and annihilate them」
『Umu』
I borrowed Eleanor’s senses, ran through the nearest route in the forest, and slashed them one next to the other.
I slashed the last one, and took a breath.
「There’s nothing left huh」
『If it was a spirit, yes』
「Yosh, then let’s go back」
『They might have been awaken』
「If those guys were still nagging a lot and make Melissa troubled, I’ll cut them this time」
『You are going to end them before she prayed huh』
「I plan to」
I nodded, looked behind, and tried to go the entrance of the forest.
I was surprised, and stopped on my feet.
「You……you were the Demon Sword Wielder?」
Melissa was there.
「Why……?」
「I came because it was dangerous……」
This is bad, she saw me.
It was a situation that I couldn’t say excuses.
I was still wearing the black clothes and the mantle, but Eleanor was too distinctive.
I had decided my will, at that time.
「Thank you」
「Eh?!」
I heard a line that made be doubt my ears.
「Thank you, for saving me」
Saint Melissa, was bowing her head towards me.
