Death March — Fixed

POV: Erina

“Erina, you’re backing away. Talna, don’t hold back!”

Today, we’re training together with the new recruits inside the city. Talna and I were originally soldiers, but they were looking for people who could serve the Baron’s family but could also protect them against thieves--so we change jobs and became maids and guards.

I wonder if it’s because of that, but I don’t really feel sad when I hear that the Baron’s army was almost annihilated. If I hadn’t left when I did, I would have become a Zombie and ended up flattened by a Giant.

“Tou!”

“Nyu, naive?”

A small distance away, Tama and Pochi are having a match with wooden swords.

Pochi’s charging speed is amazing, but Tama, who can avoid it, is also amazing. If it’s a 1-on-1, Sir Zotor is stronger. But if it’s a 2-on-1, they’d likely win. Even though they’re so cute, as expected of Beastkin.

Well, these two are still far from the pair sparring near them.

“Well then, here I come.”

“Come at me anytime.”

The Scale Species woman thrusts her spear, which is glowing a brilliant crimson, at her ‘enemy’. Sir Zotor wards off her blow with his shield, slipping the spear to the side.

However, the Scalekin woman seems to have read his move in advance. She attacks with the other end of the spear, aiming at Sir Zotor’s arm, but he manages to repel it with his sword.

The level of this fight is too different, I can’t make it as a reference. Or rather, why are they using Magic Weapons during training?

“I’ve found you! Train me to fight today!”

Ah, again.

The way that Lady Karina expresses her love is quite childish.

The Chevalier, who is cheering for Pochi and the others, hears the request for training. He sighs and rolls his eyes, before slipping, blocking, and dodging Lady Karina’s attacks.

Her movement is very different from the past, it’s already not in the realm of humans. It seems to be the effect of an amazing Magic Tool called an Artifact or something.

But then, the Chevalier, who’s always able to handle those attacks--isn’t he actually quite amazing.

“Erina, are you free?”

“Yup, I only have to finish folding the laundry.”

“Then, put that aside for now and please get the carriage out.”

“Okay, that’s fine. Which official is going out.”

“It seems that the Chevalier has some business in the city.”

Ooh, this is a favour sent from heaven!

“Leave it to me, I’ll have the carriage ready at the entrance, quickly.”

“Please do.”

I was naive.

He’s not alone, he’s together with Nana, his wife.

Unfortunately, the plan marry a rich man doesn’t seem like it’s going to be realized soon.
