“Because the house is cheap.”

This is a realistic reason. It was to hide from the temple at first, but because I had no money, I settled here for the cheapest house.

After making money, I choose to stay because of the herbs.

It looked dangerous, but it was worth living here.

‘Just one thing to worry, it’s dying because of the forest.’

“This is a place called a black forest. As you can see, the forest conditions are not really good.”

White snow covered the defects of the forest, but it could not cover all the decaying trees.

No one knew the cause. Everyone just hushed it up, saying it was cursed.

Plants were the first to suffer damage as the forest began to die. When the plants died, herbivores began to die, followed by carnivores.

A monster was born in the collapsed food chain. And the monster began to eat living animals.

The black forest was the den of monsters.

At least the entrance is intact, so I go around digging for the herbs, but the inside of the forest has been damaged for a long time.

At first, I tried to save the forest somehow. As this is my workplace.

However, the rotten part was so vast, so I was in a hurry to only block my area right away.

“Here is where I found Sir Dillian. It was a relief that it was near my house. They don’t appear outside the forest.”

The more dangerous he heard about the black forest, the darker Dillian’s expression is.

“There’s no guarantee that the monster will not come down to Miss Ria’s house.”

“There is a spell on my house though. Starting from the gate surrounding the house under the barrier spell, so there’s no need to worry.”

“Are you talking about a barrier stone? I know it’s hard to get though.”

“I have a mage friend. She has so many worries, so she made this house a fortress.”

It was all thanks to the barrier stoneer that I had been safe so far despite having settled in the black forest that has many monsters.

This house, which is no different from a fortress, never allowed everything that would harm me to enter the house.

“And the ma, madam book is also her.”

It made me blush. He asked in a serious voice, overshadowing my fear that Dillian might teased me when he saw my red face.

“Where is she now?”

“She is in the capital because of someone’s request. She said it would take a month, so there are about fifteen days left for her to come back.”

Nevertheless, there was a shadow on his face as if he was worried.

I tapped Dillian on the back.

“It’s really alright.”

The house has become an iron wall fortress that has never been broken over the past year.

***

Iron wall fortress she says.

Dillian tried to point out Ria’s confident attitude, but he didn’t want to offend her by saying bad things to her who believed in her friend and did not doubt it.

But there is nothing perfect in the world. Whether it’s a person or an object, there’s always a condition.

‘It’s better to go back quickly before the monster appears again.’

Dillian took over the luggage from Ria’s hand and reached out to her.

“Are you going to hold my hand again?”

Because of the things earlier Ria got embarrassed and wiggled her hand. It’s fun to see her face start to get heated up again, but I didn’t want to delay more time here.

“As Miss Ria said, the weather is bad and we don’t know when the monster will come out again. So, let’s speed up.”

Dillian reached out and grabbed Ria’s hand without hesitation.

Ria’s hands were small and warm.

‘I think it’s a little hotter than before.’

Unlike him, Ria had a big reaction, so she is fun being teased.

So he brought up the story of the madam and the woodcutter to bother Ria on purpose.

The feeling is like wanting to poke while looking at the ripe persimmon.

‘If she keeps being like this, I want to tease her more.’

Dillian pressed his twitching mouth hard. If Ria sees this, she might be angry and try to run away again.

“It tickles.”

Dillian gave strength to the wriggling little hand he grabbed.

After memorizing all the roads at once, Dillian found Ria’s house without difficulty.

The far house soon to be seen. Together with an unfamiliar person.

Dillian slowed down and spoke to Ria quietly.

“There’s someone.”

“Is there? There’s no one to come though.”

Was it Claude? Ria, who saw the opponent’s face, snooped on her head.”

“She’s not someone from the village.”

Ria lived in Wilhelm for a year. She didn’t know anything else, but she clearly remembered the faces of the villagers.

“Who are you?”

At Ria’s question, a woman bowed her head in an earnest voice.

“Excuse me, can I get a cup of water?”

Despite the woman’s good impression, Ria remained vigilant.

A cup of water isn’t hard, but how did she get here? It will take a whole day from the village to reach my house.

“How did you know this place?”

“Yes? Ah, I saw it on the road.”

“The villagers didn’t use this road. Because the black forest is dangerous, they can’t come closer.”

People who are using this are hunters, woodcutters, and herbalists.

There are only these three.

And this woman doesn’t belong anywhere.

In an unusual situation, Dillian hid Ria behind him.

At that moment, the woman’s gaze suddenly changed. The good eyes of not being able to kill a single ant were filled with spite and killer instinct.

Pulled out the hidden sword under the rob, the woman swung a knife.

Clank!

The blade hit and made a sharp noise.

“It’s surprising. I didn’t know you were living like this.”

The woman seemed to know Dillian. She laughed at Dillian when she saw the poor ax.

“Where did you leave your sword when you used this lame ax?”

“As I use an ax over a sword, doesn’t it mean that you’re not even worth holding a sword?”

As expected, he is good at agitating. That wasn’t a gentle scratch on the inside, but it was digging with an awl.

Ria, who was admiring inside, quickly aimed her bow at the woman, but fell to the floor due to the strong force coming from the side.

“Ugh!”

“Ria!”

It was a big man like a bear that pushed me.

Nathan scratched the face of the man who attacked me, but it was not enough to stop him.

“Miss. You have to fight fairly, it’s going to be hard if you step in from behind.”

The man growled and swung a large sword as big as his own body.

“Urgh!”

Ria hurriedly rolled on the floor to avoid the sword, but the bow her hand missed broke into two pieces.

‘Crap.’

Without a bow, she has zero offensive power. She was like a steamed bun without filling.

“Then is it fair to attack someone without a weapon?”

Ria, who managed to avoid the attack, gritted her teeth.

‘Why are you giving this trouble to an extra?’

Anger is a good driving force. Ria picked up a stone in front of her eyes and aimed exactly at the man’s eyes.

Even if there is no bow, the hit rate does not disappear anywhere.

“Ack!”

While the man stumbled, Nathan rushed in and scratched his face with sharp claws.

“Ack! This damned owl!”

At that moment, there was a very small gap. But Dillian, an outstanding hunter, didn’t miss the gap.

The ax flew at high speed.

Pow!

Tuk, trrrt.

I felt sick when seeing the head that no longer existed in the place it was supposed to be.

“Stand up! Hurry!”

Dillian hugged the shocked Ria’s waist and jumped over the door.

The woman was also lying down in the same way as well.

But those two were not the only enemies.

‘Clank!’

I heard something breaking behind me.

“It’s coming.”

Shoot!

An arrow was stuck at Dillian’s feet.

“Miss Ria’s solid fence is broken.”

Dillian twisted the corner of his mouth and persistently looked at one place.

“Ria, the barrier stone is broken. Soon, they can come in.”

Nathan also looked at the same place as Dillian.

“How do they know this…”

At that moment, a memory passed by my head.

Claude, who visited the house, is being chased. By the two people I met.

‘It’s them. They’re here to catch Dillian.’

I hoped not, but in the end, the information leaked through Claude.

Whoosh-!

Dillian, who axed consecutive flying arrows, pushed Ria behind the tree.

For about six arrows simultaneously inserted into the wooden pillar.

‘Is it around fifteen people?’

It was a large number to be removed to protect Ria.

“When I count to three, go to the house. Go, lock the door, don’t come out.”

“What? How can I leave Sir Dillian alone! We don’t even know how many enemies!”

Ria freaked out and grabbed Dillian’s arm.

In addition, nothing was known about what kind of guys they were or what their power was.

However, it didn’t matter to Dillian.

“I think there are about ten people.”

“It’s seventeen to be exact.”

“Many people came then.”

Dillian muttered, that there are disgustingly many.

“But still. It will be possible.”

Is it possible? How is that possible? Ria shook her head.

He is not even holding a sword, his main weapon, what is he going to do with an ax.

“You can’t. Another way, oh. Ooh? Are you crazy?! Come here right now.”

Dillian stuck out his foot next to the tree. Ria urgently reached out to Dillian.

“Sir Dillian!”

Unlike the nervous Ria, Dillian was relaxed.

“Miss Ria, the fact that seventeen people came to catch only one person means that I’m that strong.”

If it is the Dillian before losing his memories, no, is even that Dillian can handle seventeen people alone?

It was hard to believe. I didn’t think it would be possible.

“It’s okay, you can go.”

Dillian swung the ax lightly.

“I don’t think I’m going to lose.”

His smiley face was full of confidence.

It’s strange. Even in this kind of situation, Dillian was terribly peaceful. As if he is the only one in a different world.
