episode1.5 The carriage is attacked by the dogs

Fortunately, the city was in the visible range.

Considering the position of the sun, it is south from here.


 I walk in the meadow for a while.

At a distance, dog-like creatures hang around.

Is that a creature called a "monster"?


Should I approach and defeat it for mission rewards?

I can strengthen my skills by gaining skill points with mission rewards.

Furthermore, if the system gives me experience points by defeating monsters like a game, my level may rise and my basic stats may rise.


However, it may be dangerous.

It looks like a dog, but may be different in character from the dogs on earth.

Exhaling venom from the mouth.

To use magic.

When it gets into a pinch, it becomes a Berserker state.

When I attack a dog, the dog calls a fellow.

It seems better to try to subdue monsters after collecting information in the city.


 When I was walking while thinking about such a thing, I heard the scream of a man.

The man may have been attacked by that dog.

Judging from the volume of the heard voice, they are not so far apart.


 I take a closer look at the direction in which I heard the voice.

There is a small carriage.

Apparently, it was attacked by that dog-like creature.


 One big man, one merchant-like man, and one hooded petite person.

Two dogs are attacking.

A big man is fighting one dog, and a merchant-style man is fighting another.


 A man with a big body is fighting a dog without danger.

However, he is in a hurry for a little, and the accuracy of the attack is insufficient.


 The merchant-style man is desperately defending with a shield.

It doesn't look like I'm used to fighting.


Whether to go to help.

Now it's an emergency situation that even affects human lives.

And as far as their fighting goes, there's nothing special in that dog.


I should go to help.

I run in the direction they are in.

I should help merchants first.


 When I came up close, the merchant seemed to notice me.

He talks desperately.


"Are you an adventurer? Defeat this dog!"


Not in Japanese.

But I understand this language.

Perhaps thanks to the skills of "different world languages".


 An interesting word came out.

The word adventurer.

Is there such a profession in this world?


"Sure!"


 I said so.

I'll attack the dog.

The dog has not yet turned its attention to it.

Now is your chance.


I dare to cut the dog. 

Avoided! ?

No, half is like I missed it because of my control mistake.

I can't handle sword skill well.

I understand how to move my body with my head.


The dog seems to consider me an enemy.

It is intimidating with bare teeth.


The dog jumped at my face.

It's a scary face.

I managed to avoid it while being scared.


Dogs are terrifying creatures.

I have a lot of unpleasant sweat.

My heart is making noises.

I'm sorry.

In such a case, I had to practice how to use sword skill.

I'll die if I'm careless


The dog and me stare at each other.

Suddenly, there was an attack on the dog from the side.

The dog is killed.


what?

I check the surroundings.

Apparently, the previous attack on the dog was from a man who was fighting another dog.

A big man and a merchant talk to me.


"You saved me"


"Thank you"


"You are welcome"


I had a valuable experience of fighting monsters.

As a result, I couldn't hit a single shot.


"The dogs are monsters that act alone. I was inadvertent. I didn't think we would be targeted by two at the same time."


These dogs don't act in herds.

If I hunt, it seems good to hunt around here.


They seem to be heading to the city.

I will also accompany them.


I have a carriage.

The merchant is a carriage driver.

A large man sits forward and is alert to his surroundings.

The person in the hood is sitting backwards.

What kind of person is this hoodie?


After a while, a dog appeared in front.

It's the same type of creature as before.

I called out to the man.


"Let's fight together"


I want to fight properly this time.

I was enthusiastic, but the man stopped me.


"Leave it to me."


I watch the battle.

I can't see the impatience of his previous battle.

He is steadily damaging the dog.


 It seems unlikely that his battle will be dangerous, but it will take some time.


When I was waiting, I heard a dog breathing from behind.

I look back.

The dog is approaching.


I stand up.

I wondered if I should get off the carriage and fight, but I decide to fight here.

This is to take advantage of the height difference.


I hold my sword with care.

But the dog jumped at the hoodie, not me.


"Ah, it's dangerous!"


 I hug the person in the hood at once.

It's soft.

Soft.

Was it a woman?

It's not when I'm thinking about this now.


 I keep her behind and hold the sword again.

The mood is like a knight protecting a princess.

The tension has risen.


"Please rest assured. I will protect you."


I tried to say something cool.

What I'm doing is plain.

I just use my sword skill to desperately keep the dog in check.

It's too difficult for me to fight while protecting people.


However, I managed to hold it for a few minutes.

Then a man came to join me and beat the dog.

Thank you.
