Problems?

Calming talked about problems.

Complications, he'd said, to be more specific.

'From now on, there might be certain complications on the road, most likely, but we should be fine following the main path.'

That's precisely what he said.

So far, so good.

Our journey had been smooth without any kind of complications so far.

Carriage hadn't encountered any problem either, it could go on just fine.

Wheels were spinning around.

And the atmosphere was just calm.

Oh, that might not be true though.

"Aargh!"

"Hyah!"

Sounds.

There were sounds.

Calming had called them 'shouts.'

The shouts we just heard coming from deep within the woods, 'People are still battling, it seems.'

That was Calming's appraisal for you once again.

People were still battling…

Battle, huh.

Battling sounds like fun.

I wanna battle too.

Though I can't.

Me, I can't fight.

I'm just stuck and trapped in that sorry chariot.

No escape for me.

Too bad.

I'll just have to ask Old to take me to a fight, once we meet back.

The shouts wouldn't stop.

Aside from these that we could faintly hear every now and then, it was pretty much calm.

Our carriage was calm too.

It seems he's grown used to creaking.

Because he sure was silent.

Well, maybe could that be explained by the state of the road here.

It was a neatly well-kept road. The main road, huh. The 'main' part was certainly intended.

And we were traveling upon it right now.

Different from what we'd had up until now.

The main road, 'Following it, we will be getting near Foret's core, after which we continue on foot until we reach out to the guardians.'

The Dryads, they were being referred to as the 'guardians.'

We were getting near the guardians.

It was good.

Emerald calendar, day seven.

Counting up from my [Consciousness], the seventh sun.

And yes, as I mentioned, Calming talked about complications.

I didn't know about complications, but I knew about Calming.

He wasn't any human ... or was he? I don't know much people, I can't just tell, duh.

Still, though. My point is, I knew Calming and his estimates--Both were to be heeded.

The battling shouts ranged and ranged.

Over and over again.

They didn't stop nor did they grow weaker and fainter.

Quite the contrary, let me tell you.

Calming and angry, they were on edge.

Me, I was stuck to my window, my eyes watching for every little movement within the woods.

The carriage would present me with much to see and observe as it marched onward.

So I wasn't all that bored.

I wanted to get a hold of what was happening out here.

Obviously, people were fighting.

I could picture that just fine.

Still, I wanted to see it with my eyes.

[Mana Perception] wasn't really of use here, unfortunately.

If I tried to see beyond what I could already perceive with my senses, I'd most certainly get knocked out by these two…

That skill was super demanding.

Meh.

I can't see.

Oh, and,

The cries I was hearing just now, though, why'd they stop?

Hmm.

I can only be wary of that.

That's sussy.

Don't tell me it's just stopped.

Meh.

How boring.

Well, I couldn't do a thing about that, could I? They just stopped anyway.

Losing any hope of seeing some super powerful battle movement directly with my eyes, I just sat my butt back on my seat.

Calming was sitting right in front of me.

Seeing I must've been kinda disappointed, he tried to cheer me up with his smile.

A big big load of anxiousness must've also been taken off his heavy, restless mind.

Ever since they started to ring out, he was feeling restless.

"No more battling cries, huh," I sighed, "Boring."

Boring.

Dull.

Annoying.

Monotonous.

Uninteresting.

That's what I meant by that.

It was boring.

No more no less.

Just like most of this shitty journey we were accomplishing with the two elves.

Yes, it was boring--Or rather, I thought of it that way.

I could only think of it that way, indeed, because...

Boy, oh boy.

I didn't know what was about to go down, now did I?

As fortunate or unfortunate as it may have been, I was wrong.

It wasn't all that boring at all, heh.

I couldn't have been more wrong than that.

Really.

It was calm and dull right now--But some (super cool) shit was about to go down.

Good Mister Carriage had no way of knowing what would happen.

Just like me and the elves.

No one would, actually.

But Good Mister Carriage was different.

Wasn't he the one in the front line?

From the two sides of the road, all at once--

"Ahhhhrr!"

"Aaghhhhr"

Two groups of people went and rushed over the others.

"Bat-Battling shouts!"

They came back.

And this time, way nearer than usual.

My eyes were sparkling.

An oh-how-happy smile was to be adorned on my face.

As hurriedly as excitedly, I tried to get a look at them.

And hehehe.

Happy~

Both groups didn't stop.

They were priorly facing each other.

But right now, they were blending in with each other.

It was awesome.

The war cries didn't stop, that was cool, but it wasn't all!

The fighting was only taking place on a speculative basis up till now, wasn't it?

Well, now, it was very real.

"Angry--Uh, Sakage, hold on the horses!"

"Tsk!"

Calming and Angry weren't all that much hyped about this.

In all this heckling, I was the only one being excited and happy, it seemed.

What was wrong with these people?

Can't they just chill out a little bit and appreciate the unfolding scene?

Well, aside from his unwillingness to have a fun moment when we needed to, Calming was right on the spot--Horses needed to stay calm and still.

Neigh!

Angry pulled the horses back.

The carriage had to come to a stop.

And it was just about time.

The fight was taking place just in front of us.

"Damn it…! Talk about luck…!"

Yes, yes!

Calming was right!

We were lucky!

"Ahhhhrr!"

"Aaghhhhr"

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The clanging sounds weren't so much as reluctant to cry and sing along with all the fighting actors.

Orcs on one side.

Humans on the other.

I wanted to see all of that.

Missing up even one moment was out of the question.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

But, argh...

"Don't be reckless, princess…! Please!"

Calming was getting in the way, making me sit back correctly on my bench.

"Hmm," I nodded to Calming, "Could be dangerous, I know."

"The bastards…! Our good ol' chariot ain't no shield for ya to use…!"

Oh?

So was that what they'd been planning on doing?

Angry could be discerning too, it seemed.

But whatever. Not important.

Stepping back I sat back on the sturdy bench behind my back.

With that taking place right ahead of us, they'll not try anything funny, I'm sure.

Both Angry and Calming are busy now.

Guess I can just watch with [Mana Perception] now.

I just gotta close my eyes and sharpen my senses.

"We can't just maneuver a retreat. Hopefully, nothing will happen to them, the orcs…" Calming said before he muttered to himself sorrowfully, "I can't believe I'm the one saying this…"

"Whatcha thinking, Laerd?"

"I say the orcs are winning."

"'That so."

"They're having the upper hand."

So according to Calming, the orcs were winning, huh.

I guess it only took a pair of eyes to see that, though.

Slash.

Thud.

"My hand, my hand!"

One human fell to his knees, holding his wrist with his remaining hand.

Many humans and many orcs.

How shall I refer to them as?

Mmmm.

Human A.

Human A was on his knees.

He just lost a hand.

"Ahhk! My han--"

And now it was his head.

"Kelvin!"

Seeing he fell and slept, one of his comrades, a female, rushed over to him, most likely panicking, before she snapped out of her nonsense and tried to go back--

Thud.

Though it was probably too late, indeed, she went and slept too--Without her head.

It was kicking off pretty fast.

The clanging sounds didn't waver.

The battle cries, as for them, did waver a little bit.

The folks were concentrating, now.
