Time flies so fast, nearly half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

This is a quiet and peaceful frontier town located on the edge of the continent.

The sun was setting in the west, and a lazy ray of sunshine shone on the town. It also illuminated the table of the small street restaurant where a troubled little girl and a well-armed heroic female knight attendant were sitting.

The originally beautiful and sacred golden-red armor worn by the female knight became more and more dazzling.

That’s right!

They are none other than Annie and Elena!

They actually arrived here yesterday. At that time, the two of them had just arrived and discovered that there were actually several monsters in this small town, and they also ate people, casting an ominous shadow over this originally peaceful border town?

And for that kind of thing, neither Anne nor Elena would definitely be willing to sit idly by, especially knowing that the people here haven't collected enough money yet and made up their minds to issue a task commission to the 'organization', and they have no intention of doing so at the moment.

When you are running a business and are not willing to receive outsiders.

then!

After getting Annie's approval and instruction, Elena tentatively took action and quickly locked on those monsters. Then she pulled them out and killed them easily in full view of the public. Annie and Elena

A free traveler master and servant, of course, received the highest level of warm welcome and reception from the townspeople.

Originally, the mayor planned to give Annie and Elena a reward, but Annie, who was never short of money, refused without question.

However, she clearly and unsubtlely reminded the other party that compared to money, she might like food more, that is, the kind of delicious and delicious food?

And of course that kind of trivial matter cannot be troubled by the mayor who is like a human spirit!

Just like that, that night, under the command of the old mayor who knew the elegance of songs, the best chefs and hunters in the town brought the best ingredients to the house where Annie and Elena lived.

The chef of the small hotel then showed off his craftsmanship very attentively and entertained the two of them so much that even at dusk the next day, neither of them were willing to leave.

Of course, it was Anne who was reluctant to leave.

As for Elena, who is silent and always stands behind Anne as a guard and background, her demand for food is not great, and her daily intake may be less than one-tenth of Anne's, so delicious food and so on

, it doesn’t mean much to her.

Isn’t this?

Tonight, before the sun went down, the old mayor actually sent someone to bring food again, and it was some food that Anne had never eaten before. Although it might not be worth much, it was better than being rare!

In this case, it is not difficult to guess that the two of them will probably stay here for a long time, there is no doubt about it!

"..."

(~)Chew!

"Yeah! Delicious!"

()

But no matter what, Annie, who was enjoying a delicious dinner, watching the sunset and the beautiful scenery of the border town, and joking with Elena or the little brats from the townsfolk passing by with envy from time to time, little Annie

Not to mention how comfortable my life was.

Anyway, she has nothing to do recently, and as long as there is delicious food, she won't mind if she continues to stay here for ten or eight days.

"!!"

Σ(°△°|||)︴

Sudden!

While she was eating delicious food, her eyes were suddenly attracted by a familiar figure.

"that is……"

(°ー°〃)

"ah!"

∑(￣□￣*|||

"Isn't that guy the trash?"

(ω‖)

While her eyes were slightly widened, Anne was still a little uncertain and asked Elena next to her. At the same time, her eyes were fixed on the dirty and lost guy.

Because, what is different from the energetic young man Lackey who followed Claire in the past is that the guy in front who is entering the gate of the town and being pointed and watched by the townspeople is dirty and dirty.

His clothes were in tatters, his clothes were almost in pieces, and there were a lot of solidified blood stains on his body. His eyes were dull and his hair was withered. He looked like a walking zombie?

"!!"

"It's indeed him..."

Although I haven’t seen each other for a while, maybe more than half a month?

However, Elena recognized at a glance that the young man who was staggering and seemed to be about to fall down at any time was the young man following Claire.

"not good!"

"Maybe something happened to Claire!"

Immediately afterwards, Elena was agitated, and then she subconsciously thought about what Lackey's situation meant, and she could no longer stand.

"!!"

then!

She dodged directly and used the fastest speed, like a phantom, to cross hundreds of meters of blocks in an instant and appeared in front of the stumbling Lackey with distracted eyes, making those who were about to step forward to intercept him

The townspeople who asked about it were all shocked.

"Raki!"

"what happened?"

"How could you do this?"

"besides!"

"Where's Claire!"

Then, after standing suddenly in front of Lackey, Elena couldn't think too much. She, who was always taciturn, actually asked loudly and anxiously in a stern tone.

"..."

It's a pity that Lackey didn't react immediately.

With his eyes wandering and his head dazed, he staggered to a stop until he saw something blocking his way in front of him, and then subconsciously raised his dull eyes towards the person who was much taller than him.

Elena's head looks up.

"..."

"!!"

Finally, when he discovered Elena's beautiful, closed, handsome and very familiar golden-red helmet and the conspicuous red spike-like tassel decoration, his dull and unfocused eyes finally gradually focused.

They gathered together, and then a trace of surprise and joy flashed across their faces at the same time.

"Ai, Elena..."

"Claire..."

"she……"

"she……"

It's a pity that although he met an acquaintance who was trustworthy and helpful, Lackey, who had no idea what he had been through these days, could no longer hold on. When he was about to step forward and explain, he first

He staggered, then rolled his eyes, and then he fell softly into Elena's arms and passed out while the world was spinning.

"!!"

"Rakhi?"

"Wake up!"

Seeing this, Elena of course shook her vigorously, trying to wake the other party up.

"Raki!"

"Wake up quickly!!"

"hateful!"

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, she was anxious and gave him a few scratches on the ear, not too seriously.

And it is not surprising that she behaves like this. After all, the young man in front of her is not very familiar with her, just acquaintance. Compared with this, what she is more worried about is of course the person he is following, that is.

The situation of her best friend Claire.

"??"

"If you hit him a few more times, he will probably be beaten to death by you!"

(￣～￣)Chew!
