23 Past edition [03] Desire without ability.txt (2/2)

''Virum-sama. It's a good idea to go and bathe in the water since you are sweating from training with Radia. In the meantime, I'll prepare a meal for you.''

'Yeah, thanks Jenny. I will.

Virum turns his feet to the fountain in a bewildered state.

Suddenly, he turns on his heel to bring a change of clothes, and realizes that Jenny is already gone.

Perhaps she was headed to prepare a meal, but this provoked Virum's thoughts.

(I'm just going to go and help my sister Dear. If you understand that I am capable of fighting, then you can take me with you next time.)

Every young child falls into that optimistic, baseless mindset that everything will turn out the way they think it will.

Because he has been loved and cared for, he has a strong desire to be of service to the spirits (kazoku).

The combination of that strong desire and his optimistic thoughts caused Radia's advice to slip from his mind.

Vilm looks at the direction Radia ran in.

A few minutes later, he was nowhere to be seen on the spot.

Radia, who went to intercept, had already encountered the intruders (adventurers).

She did not have any sweet expressions on her face as she turned to Vyrum, and her spirit of not letting any of them escape could be felt.

On the other hand, the adventurers who encountered Radia were happy to see her, who was probably a high level spirit.

I didn't expect to find a high level spirit. This means that this search is definitely in the black!

Don't be careless. It's not just one high ranking spirit (this guy). Besides, if you die here, you won't even be able to rejoice in that surplus.

Yeah. If you're not careful, wait till you get back to town.

There are three adventurers, all of whom seem to be of the human race.

A large man holding a large sword in one hand.

A mature man who measures his timing with a long spear.

A petite woman guards an arrow on her bow and takes aim.

It's a beautifully physical party, but it's also a well-balanced party with close, medium and long range.

(They only regard me as their prey. If we miss today, we won't be able to train with my boy for a while, so let's just get this over with.)

Radia concentrates her magic power and prepares herself to release her magic at any time, but she notices a slight familiar presence and feels upset.

(Is this... Viru-boy?! The joke! You snuck out of the village and came after me, didn't you?)

I got it!

Feeling Radia's agitation, the adventurers closed the distance between them at once.

''Tch!''

While chastising herself for distracting him, Radia deals with the attacking large swords and long spears.

''As expected, you're a high-level spirit. But how about this? Homing Arrow.

A quartet of arrows are released almost simultaneously, with one arrow between each of the player's finger joints.

The four arrows released go in a direction that is misplaced from Radia, but they draw a physically impossible trajectory and begin to rush to the target (Radia).

''Mmm...!''

(These guys are really good. Viru-Bo is hiding in plain sight, so I think we should concentrate on taking him down.)

A man with a long spear comes around behind Radia, who continues to accurately avoid the four arrows that are tracking her.

(Behind me, huh? I'm sorry, but that's not my blind spot.)

Radia had plenty of time to spare, but apparently it didn't look that way from the edge.

'Sister Dear! That's dangerous!

Suddenly, Virum, who was supposed to be hiding, leaps out behind Radia.

There, on the straight line of the long spear.

''Nah! Fool!''

It's not too late.

Deciding that, Radia covers Virum's body.

The mature man unleashes a blow that catches Radia's body - - - - - -.
