"Gu...... Ugh......! I want to lose............!

One girl running through the wilderness to get away from Jeep.

There are several scratches on the girl's body that shake her red-haired twin tail, and each time she gets to her feet, the shock afflicts the girl.

But the girl kept running without taking it for a thing.

There is no purpose. I'm not going anywhere. Just run.

Because if you haven't done something, you're going to be crushed by your weakness.

The girl's name is Ashley Alicietta.

He is a genius wizard who became the youngest S-ranked because of his youth, who said he was weakly crowned thirteen years old.

Some people might mistake that for just being blessed with talent.

But that's not true.

Harnessing talent requires efforts commensurate with it.

She has worked constantly.

And it always came with results. That's all.

But not this time.

It was a big wall.

It was such a thick and strong wall that I thought it was invincible.

"I lost...... Huh! Me............!

Ashley eats up her teeth with a shortened breath.

Unmissable loss - it was a complete defeat.

I can see the woods before Ashley keeps running.

The depressed and lush trees refuse to invade the adventurer like the devil's hand.

The deep black greens of the trees were creepy enough to give the beholder an ominous hunch.

Demon Forest - that's what they call it among adventurers, a dangerous area that's banned from entering if it's not above A-rank.

"Ha, ha...! I've made up my mind, that demon over there, I'll wipe you out!

That's what Ashley decided.

It was all flying out of my head that my body was full of creativity and that my magic was running out in an earlier duel.

I can't stay like this. I can't stay losing.

Because I am a genius. Because you have to be a genius.

The thought of obsessive-compulsive attitudes narrowed Ashley's horizons even further, and she was no longer able to make a normal decision.

"Hello, you haven't seen it just now"

Such a comforting voice rang in Ashley's ear as the sound of a bell.

Looking back, there stood a man's partner named Yuri - but he should be like Phyllia - who had fought earlier.

Seeing where my breath isn't even disturbed, I guess even wind magic has been used to chase me.

Ashley stares at the beautiful silver-haired elf in front of her.

"… what. Are you here to laugh?

I'm surprised myself that I had a colder voice than I thought.

But that was really what Ashley thought.

"I stuck it out of me and I lost like hell. That's funny, isn't it? There's no excuse."

Ashley dares to tell Phyllia in mild condition.

Ashley put a lot of effort into her eyes to put up with where she was going to pity herself and cry.

But Phyllia doesn't even see any signs of laughing as she stands still.

"……… What's wrong, laugh"

Ashley stares at Phyllia.

Filia's silver eyes glow mysteriously even on the night the sun sets.

The brilliance went out once and lit up again.

I realize late that I blinked.

"No, I thought purely 'wow nah'. Because I can't really challenge Yuri."

Apparently, Ashley understood that the elf in front of her didn't come to scoff at herself or to scoff at her.

- But being sympathetic to your fellow enemies was more humiliating than that.

"Are you making fun of me...? There's no point in losing! We have to win, we have to win. Nothing......!

My voice trembles.

Is it anger or pity?

Ashley didn't even know why.

"Even if it doesn't make sense if you don't win, you can't ignore what you're trying to do now. It's too dangerous to head to the Devil's Forest in such a hurtful state.... That's what leaves you with nothing if you die, right?

True theory.

That was an unquestionable argument.

I can see that Phyllia is really showing me about herself, not just sympathy.

But that's why I couldn't even stop here.

"Nah... why do you... why do I have to tell you that! I'm S-ranked!? Are you S-rank!?

Ashley scatters her voice as she emotions.

Ashley fully understood that it was commonly called the reverse cut.

But the thoughts that swirl through my own chest are swirling blacker and blacker, and I can no longer stop them.

"No, I'm a--"

"Then don't pinch your mouth!

Ashley rejected Phyllia by blocking Phyllia's words.

Ashley's red eyes also show that Phyllia's shoulders jumped small.

I might have said too much.... No, I overstated it for sure.

Even so, the thirteen-year-old girl didn't have the words to just apologize for it.

"…… my life. Besides, I can tell for myself what's at stake."

The energy to enter the Devil's Forest was already shredded by the elf in front of me.

I'll go home after this guy leaves. Ashley already thought so.

That's all I said, this man would have been disillusioned already.

That's what Ashley looks like.

And frowned.

"I see……. I'm actually lower ranked than Mr. Ashley, and you're not convincing of words."

The elf in front of me - Phyllia didn't hang around at all.

But seriously, I kept trying to figure out a way to convince Ashley not to go into the woods.

"Rank isn't that easy to get up... you know, Mr. Ashley"

Phyllia's eyes capture Ashley, who was drooling her thoughts with bumps and whispers.

Stared straight into both eyes of silver, Ashley lost her movement in wonder.

"Hey, what..."

"How can I convince Mr. Ashley to join me?

"…… Huh?

Ashley wondered what the elf in front of her was saying.

Why should I figure out for myself how to convince myself?

Ashley couldn't read Phyllia's thoughts in front of her.

"Please! Because I'm powerless alone!

"Wow, I get it..."

For some reason, I had to think about stopping myself.

Even though I said I was not willing to go into the woods anymore.

Phyllia and Ashley get stuck in front of the Devil's Forest, but it's hard to come up with a name.

As far as Ashley was concerned, she had not even been able to think properly due to the clutter of why she was thinking of this.

"Ah!"

Feelia raised her voice unexpectedly.

Ashley leaned up to think if she'd come up with any ideas.

When he glanced at Phyllia's face, Phyllia was showing off her full face.

"Okay, I hope I beat Yuri."

Again, we have come up with a flawless answer.

Ashley admires the inner filia.

However, Ashley quickly realizes that there is one major problem with the proposal.

"But that guy, you're gonna cut it out. You're his partner, aren't you? It's not like someone's gonna beat the crap out of him."

Yes, there's no way a decent person can seriously attack a partner.

Ashley's opinion was utterly sincere.

But that's the story of 'If the other person is a decent person'.

"... did you look like you would?

"……… I didn't see it."

Phyllia's short words truly eloquently told the facts.

Ashley thinks.

I don't think that muscle haunt like that Yuri I fought is a race I can moderate just because I'm one of them.

"But what's in it for you?"

"... oh, the..."

As soon as I could, Phyllia, who had been fluent enough to keep talking, mumbled.

... what are you up to?

Although the youngest, Ashley is a clean S-rank.

Feeling strange, Ashley's brain immediately begins full rotation, distracting him so that he can enter the fight whenever he wants.

Before Ashley stared at him, Firia opened her peachy lips with an attitude that didn't boil off for a while.

"... mine, and I want you to be my friend. So... can't you?

The words released from between those lips were completely unexpected.

Ashley's brain, which has taken the form of being utterly void poked, stops spinning and renounces to derive an answer in this situation.

……

Silence ensues between us.

Over time, Phyllia's face went down more and more.

"No, I don't think so………………………"

Shin, Phyllia says with a voice that fits the word perfectly.

On that occasion Ashley's brain moved out again.

"... I'm just a little surprised. You talk like a child."

It must have been communicated that Ashley didn't refuse.

Phyllia brightened her face like a flower.

"According to the fortune teller, I am a 'good at taking care of decency but the contents are children'"

"It's odd to say. … However, it doesn't seem to be a very good idea to take care of decency so far."

"Oh, it's terrible. Yikes!

Phyllia protests with her mouth shut, but her face is neat, making her uncomfortable.

Rather, it was something adorable from a younger Ashley's point of view.

Ashley looks at Filia like that and thinks.

Friends, huh?

Everyone in the village did well, but it's a small village. I have no children of my generation, and no one has ever been able to call me a friend.

I've never wanted one before... but that might not be a bad idea.

"Oh, Mr. Ashley, aren't you laughing?

They were peeking into Phyllia's face while she was stuck in her thoughts.

He hastily hides his face with both hands, but the hour is already late.

Ashley's smile was all over the place.

"Mr. Ashley is cute when she laughs."

"O, extra help............!

Ashley waved sissy, but there was a slight grin in her mouth.

I explained that I was not willing to go into the woods anymore, but Phyllia didn't take down fighting Yuri "because it's what I told you once".

And a week later, Ashley and Fielia broke up after Ashley decided to fight in the same place that Ashley fought today.
