First, letâs go to Conrad Town, and then we will think about what to do afterwards⊠Agreeing with Yumikaâs proposal, they leave the ruin and walks toward the highway.
âI didnât meet any when I come earlier, but there should be monsters around here, be careful.â
âSomething like horned rabbit and Chiruchiruhi?â
While they are surveying their surroundings, upon hearing Yumikaâs voice, Kazane asked back. When this was a game, monsters sometimes does appear in this vicinity.
âYep. I heard Raider Dog also tends to appear.â
âUwah, thatâs troublesome. We better prepare those stinking balls again.â
âAren't they only useful for Goblins?ââRaider Dog, or perhaps all dog groups have high sensibility towards smell. Thatâs why if stink type items were to be thrown at them, at least we can keep them in check. Well itâs not really a problem if you donât know about it when it was a game.â
âBut itâs important for us who has limited optionsâŠright.â
Hearing Yumikaâs 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 doesnât have sneak or invisibility, and they pay attention toward enemy displays then they wonât 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 havenât fight properly even once, it gives birth to fear in Kazaneâs heart.
(At best, we will be fine even if we encounter a lone horned rabbit)
âAh, Kazane, there is it.â
Yumika calls Kazane from the front.
âWhat are you saying. Of course the highway.â
Of course huhâŠwhile 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 havenât 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 doesnât get as tired as Kazane because she had tempered her body in the archery club, plus putting all her bonus points in strength.
âArggh, seriously. Didnât you just said âfor us, isnât living in this world should be pretty easy.â Thatâs not cool!â
âCanât be helped. I am a modern child through and through.â
(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.â
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.
âFuuh. We finally reached the highway, but does this road still reduce the monster encounter ratio?â
âSeems 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 didnât meet any monsters part way.â
âAround this area is still like the setting. Well, even though the encounter ratio is low, it doesnât mean they wonât appear at all though.â
Kazane said while she surveyed their surroundings.
âYup, I think we still need another few hours of walking. And if we havenât reached the town by sunset, it might be troublesome.âHearing those words, scream escaped from Kazaneâs mouth.
âIt only needs 20 minutes in gameâŠâ
âDonât complain. Letâs go.â
Then, after they had walked for around two hoursâŠthey heard the sounds of battle.
âYumika, look at that.â
Hearing Kazaneâs 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.
âThey are being attacked. Perhaps monsters?â
Yumika nods as dhe agrees with Kazane.
âI think we should help them. Monsters in this area shouldn't be a big dealâŠâ\nHearing Kazaneâs 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.
Then the two of them ran.
âThereâre some people in the carriage. They were attacked by Raider Dog.â
âYou can see it clearly? Ah, probably because of âthatâ.â
Yumika remember Kazaneâs skill [[Night Vision]]. Itâs 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 âsome things were movingâ, Â she canât see anything.
Distance 500 meters. Itâs possible that the fight will end before they arrived if the side being attacked doesnât have any combat capabilitiesâŠthought Kazane.
That words leaks from Kazaneâs mouth.
âWe wonât made it in time?â
âYup. Letâs dash Yumika.â
(Even if you said âdashâ)
They didnât wear armour but the weight of their sword and spear prevents them from moving faster than this.  Before that, they are already exhaustedâŠwhile Yumika is stiÄșl thinking, Kazane opens the window with [[command open]].
âSkill: Fly. All party members.â
Kazaneâs and Yumikaâs body starts to float.
They didnât 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.
Yumika let out scream that wasn't suitable coming from a girl, but itâs not Kazaneâs concern. Well, because sheâs too focused in controlling the fly, though.
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.\n\nâOld man, itâll flinch for a second, go kill it! Yumika, do it!!â
With a big swing Yumika throw the stinking ball in the direction of that middle aged man.
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.
