Chapter 5: In the Forest
Although, Ellie had forcefully dragged Aelusdro along with her.
"What's the point of going to such a forest?"
"Well, I'm bored, you know. Rudolf is always busy reading books, and Marianne is always mean to me."
"But that doesn't mean you have to involve me."
"But I get lonely by myself."
*Sigh* Aelusdro sighed at Ellie's selfishness.
"It'll only be for a little while, okay? If we encounter any monsters, I'll take care of them, so you just stay back."
"Okay."
As the two walked through the forest, they came across two sleeping wolves.
"Be careful, we have to pass by quietly."
"Okay."
Aelusdro silently passed by the wolves' side.
Ellie also slowed down her pace and fluttered her wings quietly so as not to wake the wolves.
Even as the two passed by, the wolves remained sound asleep.
"Phew, that was close."
In a place far away from the wolves, Ellie breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.
"So, how far are we going to go? I hope you're not planning to go deep inside."
"Of course we are, silly!"
*Sigh* Aelusdro couldn't help but be exasperated by Ellie's carefree attitude.
"...Alright, this place seems safe."
Aelusdro protected Ellie as they ventured deeper into the forest.
He looked around while stirring the bushes, making sure there were no enemies or traps before proceeding.
"Is this spot good?"
After advancing a certain distance into the forest, Aelusdro came to a halt.
Ellie flew out and floated in the air, taking a breath of the atmosphere.
"Mmm~! This place feels good after all!"
Fairies enjoyed clean air, and by inhaling it, they could restore their vitality and mental strength.
Ellie had come to the forest for that reason.
"...Are you satisfied now?"
"I am! Alright, let's go back then."
"Okay."
As promised, after going deep into the forest, Ellie decided to return to the Nagal region along with Aelusdro.
However, they were unaware that it was the territory of a certain creature.
Unaware of something approaching from behind, Aelusdro continued walking while Ellie floated.
"We're back!"
"Welcome back, both of you."
Marianne greeted Aelusdro and Ellie with a smile, but Rudolf had a stern expression on his face.
"...Ellie."
*Gulp*
"Why did you go to the forest without my permission?"
"No need for excuses, right?"
Saying that, Rudolf poised his staff towards Ellie.
(Oh no! Punishment is coming!)
While Ellie silently tried to escape from Rudolf's punishment, something happened.
"Kekekeke!"
"You have come to our territory! Prepare to be crushed!"
"Ahhh!"
Suddenly, a group of bugbears attacked Aelusdro and Ellie.
Yes, the place Aelusdro and Ellie had trespassed into was the territory of the bugbears.
"I didn't know... that such a place was a territory of the bugbears!"
"Anyway! We will exterminate them!"
As Marianne readied her dual pistols, the battle began.
"Shine!"
Ellie enveloped Marianne's gun barrels with light.
"Fall!"
"Ah!"
"Ugh!"
The bugbears attacked Aelusdro and Rudolf, slashing with their claws.
Although Ellie created a shield of light to mitigate the damage, the force behind the attacks was intense.
"Submit quietly!"
Marianne's bullets, infused with light, pierced through the swarm of bugbears, dealing significant damage.
Dark creatures like the bugbears were weak against the power of light.
"Die!"
"Watch out, Rudolf!"
A bugbear grappler swung its fist down towards Rudolf.
Aelusdro hurriedly shielded Rudolf and intercepted the attack with his shield, preventing both of them from taking damage.
However, Aelusdro staggered back due to the force of the attack.
"Are you okay? Light Heal!"
"Wind Slash!"
Ellie healed Aelusdro with a restorative spell, and then Rudolf's wind magic empowered Aelusdro's sword, decimating the swarm of bugbears in one fell swoop.
"Now, only the Bugbear Grappler remains, right? Prepare yourself! Gatling Shot!"
Saying so, Marianne charged towards the bugbear grappler, firing her gun rapidly.
However, none of the shots hit the bugbear grappler.
"...Oops, I let my guard down for a moment."
"Complacency is dangerous! Light Weapon!"
After Ellie enhanced Aelusdro's weapon, he charged at the bugbear grappler, slashing with his sword.
Rudolf, from the rear, attacked with wind magic.
Confirming that the movements of the bugbear grappler had slowed down, Marianne prepared her finishing move.
"This will be the end! Empress Bullet!!"
Then, bullets fired from Marianne's dual pistols pierced through the belly of the bugbear grappler, causing it to collapse.
"...We won..."
