What the hell.

When I looked up thinking so, there was one grown man standing there.

With a great sword, rubbing and preventing the wolf's fangs.

I wondered who it was.

"... back off. I'll take care of this."

In a low voice, a man said so.

I honestly followed it because I couldn't afford to think about it then.

To me lowering, a wolf tried to stretch his nails, but a man waved the sword and pulled the wolf back.

He was a great user.

At the time, I didn't know anything about swordsmanship or body surgery, but I could still see at a glance that I was a master, I was making beautiful moves.

And of course, from then on, it became a battle between a man and a wolf.

A wolf kicking the ground against a man, a man waving his sword against a wolf.

Neither move, not very much, was enough to keep up.

I figured out how much the wolf had handled me earlier, and I really understood how much of a user the man was.

The isolated battle was there.

But still, the power of men and the power of wolves was antagonistic.

Both lacked decision-makers, it was such a battle of impressions.

The wolf had avoided the sword of the wielding man with a single hair, and had received it with his fangs again.

The man was also a man, guarding against the blow of wolf claws and fangs with a great sword, and avoiding it again with a motion that was not even in his eyes.

And when each other's health was also limited, a man put up a battle.

I poked a flash of void, entered the wolf's pocket, and waved my sword.

The blow did put a muscle of scratch on the wolf's chest and the wolf barked out loud.

Then he waved his arm at the man, blew the man off the spot, but the man held on. It was also prevented with a great sword, intact.

Me, me, and the black blood dripping from the wolf's chest, making a blood pond.

The wolf's breath grew rough, and the glow of his eyes seemed to be filled only with intent to kill.

Even when I was far away, my body snapped.

But men are firmly relative to wolves like that.

And... with the man, I wonder how long the wolf rumbling lasted.

The thread of tension, which had always spread on the spot, was broken and the wolf lagged behind.

Then, as it were, the wolf ran away towards the distance.

I ran away.

The man stood up to such a wolf for a while, but when he didn't feel any more of those disastrous signs, he untied the arrangement and ran up to me,

"Are you all right!?

That's what I asked.

I was saved.

And they saved me.

The man's words were a supremely natural hanging over a human being attacked by demons.

It's just to me then...

It's a terrible story, but I told you.

"... why..."

"... hmm?

"Why didn't you come sooner...!!

That's the worst dialogue I can think of.

Normally, in that case, you should be thankful.

I knew that.

But to me...

He saw Jinlin running out at his feet.

I really... couldn't help but say.

It's just, this guy, he was sweet.

Look at the dying Jinlin,

"... bad. If only I'd rushed a little faster...... I'm so, so sorry. It's my fault..."

There's no way.

The truth is, I was just unlucky.

Jinlin, my parents, Pravda.

And I was... lucky.

All those demons attacked me and saved my life.

I would just say yes.

And that couldn't have been my right to curse people like that, thanks to the man in front of me.

Still, the man apologizes to me...

So, he wiped my tears and then he gave me a hug.

"Ugh...... wow!!!!

Then I cried out loud.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... is that enough?

He turned to me crying the whole time, and that's what the man asked.

I snorted,

"... yeah. Sorry about earlier......"

When I cried just to cry, it wasn't refreshing, but my head was a little cold.

It was terribly sad, I didn't even know what to do, and it was still a mess in my head, but still, I could be aware that there was nothing for a man to blame for.

So I apologized.

But the man...

"No... you're fine. Never mind. More than that, what... I'm talking about your carcass..."

"... I want to carry you to the village, but you can't..."

A man's body should be firmly mourned.

But at times like this, it's common sense to be wild, leave it to demons and animals to eat, and just leave the place.

It is difficult to carry, there is a problem, and the demons come by, so I simply said it was dangerous.

I didn't know the details of that in the boulder at the time, but I could easily tell that it was impossible to carry it without my legs.

But the man shook his head,

"No, it's not impossible. Where... where? When it comes to villages, is it around here Hathaler, Alga, or around Muru?

They were all nearby villages, and the man seemed to have the geography around here firmly in mind.

I snorted,

"It's a pigeonholer. I was just leaving..."

"Well... that was a disaster..."

"Yeah. That's okay. More than that, you say you can't?

"Oh, I just got in the carriage, too. I felt the magic of that demon and ran all the way here, but if I waited half a day, it would come. You can let them ride you. I'm the only passenger who rents out."

I knew I wasn't sure what this man's dialogue meant at the time.

But now that I think about it... I can tell from the distance it takes me half a day in the carriage that I ran and got here, that I can sense the demons no matter how powerful they are from such a distance, and that I am purposefully renting out a carriage to the country.

I mean, it was pretty odd, but I got help.

I trusted you completely already.

"That's right... so, about everyone, is it okay for you to carry them...?

"Ah. I don't even know your man... Until then, we'll wait here, but in the meantime, I'm going to take the remains to one place. If you have any important artifacts, collect them."

That's what the man told me to do.

I guess that was a man's concern, too.

He said if I was doing something, I'd be distracted.

Actually... I wonder how it went.

I feel a little confused.
