My Skills Are Too Strong to Be a Heroine

"So, it's forbidden to enter or leave the forest."

"Eh?"

"Hmm!?

A few mornings after coming to another world.

Even today, Takao and I, who were hoping to visit the vigilante headquarters to get a job, were accompanied by the receptionist's sister, who arrived in a smiling and frivolous way.

So, what is a no-go...?

For the past few days, Takao has been out in the woods every day trying to kill pigs.

I didn't know the details because I was waiting to help the inn under the supervision of Erysica, who strengthened my answering machine, but according to the story, Takao was quite accustomed to the control of the sacred sword "Caliban", and the number of trees being knocked down was decreasing day by day.

And with that, I've exterminated a lot of Pokémon, so I thought the vigilante would be very helpful. Why on earth?

"So, what do you mean?

"That's why the Knights of the Kingdom we were talking about on the first day were on the lookout for a dispatch... and the Knights heard your rumors and were ordered to stop fighting the Beast immediately."

Onee-san said with her head down deeply as she lay down her eyes in an apologetic manner.

"Even in times of war, what does it mean to unnecessarily put civilian children in danger...

Exactly. You are just travelers. We have begged for the extermination of the beast because of its strength, but no matter how little manpower we lack, it was an imprudent act.

Therefore, the Knights will be responsible for the future extermination of the Beast, and I would like to offer you other safer jobs. "

"... how much does that cost per hour?

"Compared to killing the beast, the digits are falling."

Takao threw a glimpse at me, closed his eyes and shook his neck sideways.

... I can't believe you made a high school student feel the sadness of restoration... This is the ravages of society. It is a matter of life and death to reduce salary as a matter of urgency. If the other world collapses while you're on a cheap part-time job, you'll end up falling!

Takao and I politely refused to introduce a new job and left the vigilante headquarters.

Check the current total amount of funds as soon as you leave the building. Only about half of the travel expenses that are expected to be needed by the next city have yet to be collected.

"What should I do...?

"... I may have to give up on a good source of income, because the source of payment is the Vigilante Headquarters. But as a level up hunting ground, that forest is still worth using."

Takao tapped the handle of the holy sword "Caliban" with only his heart playing, and said joyfully, "I think you can grasp the feeling a little bit more."

"Besides, I'm sure people in this city are in trouble. Even if I don't get the bounty, I'm a brave man, so I'll take care of the beast myself."

That's right, Takao's character is different...!

I was embarrassed to think for a moment about reselling harvested lumber or developing a business that uses pork.

... even though you're trying to do your best with such a splendid idea, I can't bear to leave a message on my own. This is also my journey. It's okay, I won't be angry if I don't find out. I was just about to sneak up on you this time, swearing to fight the Holy Sword. and.

"... if you're going to follow me, tell me from the beginning."

"Ha!?

It's reading...!? King Arthur, mind reading skill holder!?

Takao smiled bitterly as he sighed at me.

"Then I'll fight with it while protecting it properly. It's hard to hide without you around."

God, Buddha, Takao is a lovely person after all. I nodded, but in my heart, I didn't want to bother you, and I tried to punch you so that you wouldn't find out.

Dozens of them will be slaughtered hard, and even though I went into the woods full of motivation, it was more than enough no-encount. Only two footsteps resonate in a quiet forest.

That's funny, the moment I came in, you said you rolled down the dead heat race...?

"Takao, isn't that weird?

"... no, actually, it was a little small yesterday..."

Takao said he could easily swim his gaze. [M]

"The number of beasts decreased from day to day... When I think about it carefully, I don't see any larvae in this forest pig, so I think the absolute number of seeds was probably fixed. I've been killing dozens of them every day, so...."

Takayu-kun. Serious social problems learned in social classes are raised in my head. If the number of births continues to exceed the number of deaths, it is the destruction of the species that lies ahead. The breakdown of one ecosystem. In other words,

"... Takayama-kun, you mean extinct...?

"No, please don't, I'm not literally brave!!

Takao, who holds his head and closes his eyes tightly, I didn't think he was the one who drove a very single race to ruin.

No, because it's a magical beast, I think it's perfectly good to eradicate it, but I didn't really feel the demonic power of the word "kill"... It's a long way to go to eradicate it alone in just a few days. A feller of forests and an eradicator of species. Yeah, yeah, it looks really bad.

"No, no, maybe one of them survived... I'm sorry! Is anybody there?

"Takao, I'm going to kill you anyway, but using lines like when you're looking for a survivor is so evil!!

The two went slowly through the silenced forest, but the appearance of the beast was not even a sign.

... hmm, maybe we should just give up and go home?

While staring at Takao's desperately moving back, he paused for a moment and thought.

"... that's it, you alien child"

Low as a Rin, but a voice that passes well.

Suddenly reaching our ears, and feeling the tension that stretched out our spine, we stopped our feet and took a breath.

"There are countless beast carcasses scattered in this forest, and trees that have been cut to pieces. I don't think that the power to do everything possible to destroy it belongs to anyone.

If it belongs to the Devil, it must be destroyed here in the name of the Knights of the Kingdom....

And above all, "

As Takao progressed, the figure appearing from the back of the woods was in a sharp form ~

I understand that it is called Western-style armor, every step closer to the person while making a sound to Kachan.

Dressed in silver armor and carrying a large sword, it was the knight who correctly protected the country, as he named it.

My face is covered with a helmet and I can't tell, but I still feel like a young man from the sound of my voice and back length.

The person stopped a few steps before Takao and breathed in big enough to know from under the helmet, and said softly ~

"... and above all, there's nothing I can do!!

Takao and I met some strange people and wanted to go home.
