Happy Reading~

*Shring-*

“Finally I managed to get a high ranked sword. The Moon Sword, a sword used by a swordsman from the past. It is said that this sword can continue to develop without any interference from outside parties.” explained Eric, realizing what kind of sword this was.

Previously, the Moon Sword was the rarest sword.

In this world, there is only one sword called the Moon Sword.

It could be said, that the creator of this sword was not an ordinary person.

Maybe, he is a strong person.

If that person could create a sword that continued to evolve endlessly, he would have to be on a level equal to or higher than the Dukes.

But who cares? For Eric, getting this sword was enough for him.

As long as he has this sword, he can gain power far beyond Eris and the others.

And now, what he expected had happened.

What Eric needed was, to continue waiting as he grew stronger.

Otherwise, it would take a long time for him to develop further.

*Slash-*

“Not bad… One slash from this sword is enough to penetrate the rocks in front of me.” Eric commented, unable to help but acknowledge the sharpness of this blade.

Rather than the sword he had before, this sword was much stronger.

Perhaps, he thought he could kill a fifth rank monster?

“Eh? What is that?” without him realizing it, a slight feeling of unease came into Eric’s heart.

He didn’t know why, but he felt like someone was watching from a distance.

But he didn’t know who it was, thinking that all this was just an illusion.

Not long after, Eric, he decided to get out of this place.

By the way, the place where Eric is is the place where I was sent.

Just look, when Eric walks past the place where he is.

He saw a beast, it was none other than the monster I had killed.

If not for that, it would be impossible for Eric to enter this cave.

…

“Can we hold on any longer? It’s already been more than 30 minutes. I don’t want to die in a place like this.” asked one of us, unable to stop himself from letting out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

If asked what happened to Eris, she still stands straight.

However, the injuries she received were no joke.

Not wanting to stay silent, we decided to help Eris.

If we stay where we are, what’s the point of us working together?

Luckily, because we entered their fight.

We can help Eris, without burdening her.

“Hah, ha… I can’t take it anymore. How long can we wait? When will the hero arrive?”

“I don’t know… But I’m afraid, we might have to be buried alive here.”

“Don’t be kidding…! I don’t want to die in a place like this!” as if unwilling to accept all this, the guy from class B, he couldn’t help but scream.

He thought, the hero would arrive in a few tens of minutes.

But apparently, what he thought was wrong.

For a moment, Eris’s expression, she couldn’t help but put on a helpless face.

She knows, almost some of us have felt hopeless.

But not for me, I couldn’t possibly want to die in a place like this.

“By the way, I’m more curious about where Mr. Eric went?” suddenly, a guy from class C, he asked about Eric’s whereabouts.

“…” once again, Eris’ expression, she couldn’t help but put on a face full of annoyance.

’I know this… He definitely didn’t go to find that way out.’

That might have been true, if it wasn’t for her telling Eric to leave.

She didn’t have to feel this way, but she didn’t have a choice.

In Eris’ mind, Eric, he was a man who couldn’t be trusted.

Every time they were together, she felt like this man was a cunning man.

Because of that, she couldn’t help but have to avert Eric’s gaze.

’Ugh… I can’t take it anymore. What do I have to do? My strength has reached its limit. If I push myself, I have to sacrifice another side of me.’ still, she didn’t know what else to do.

If she continued to force herself, she would inevitably have to switch to her other self.

Of course, it was impossible for Eris to do something like that.

“Ouch… My feet.” without her realizing it, a slight pain struck around this woman’s legs.

Suddenly, the image of herself being injured by this monster appeared in her mind again.

’Ck. Should I stop?’ really, if only she had been more careful.

She didn’t need to get hurt like this, something she could have avoided.

“Are you okay? Does your leg need me to fix it?” I asked, unable to do anything but offer my help.

“No. I think it’s better for you to leave this place. If you stay here, we will all be killed.”

“But…”

“Hurry and leave. Let me hold off this monster. I can still hold out for more than a few more minutes.”

“…” I don’t know why, but I couldn’t help but stay frozen where I was.

I have to admit, the heroic action of this woman was enough to tug at my heartstrings.

If I can help, there’s no need for Eris to hold off this monster alone.

“Are you sure? You are the only one in this place. If you die, what should we say to the hero?” I asked again, trying to ask this woman further.

If she died, I’m sure Ash, he would definitely have a fit of rage.

“Tell him. I, Eris, am not a weak woman. If I die, it will be because the enemy before me is too strong. Don’t blame others.”

“… I understand. Take care of yourself.”

“You two, let’s go.”

“But she…”

“Her? She already said that she would restrain this monster. Do you two want this woman’s sacrifice to be in vain?”

“…” because these two men had no choice, they were forced to come with me.

They knew, there was no way they could win against this monster.

Therefore, the only way for us to survive is by sacrificing one of us.

Otherwise, we will all have to be killed in this place.

*step!-* *step!-* *step!-*

’They’re gone… Thankfully, I no longer need to feel burdened. Maybe it’s true, I’m afraid of death. But what? Saving people is the most important thing.’

’Sorry Ash, looks like I can’t keep my promise. As for Alicia, I’d like us to chat some more. And… No. I’m not worthy of him. I have left the village. Should I consider him as my friend? I’m sure he’ll say I’m a foreigner.’

*Dripping-*

For a moment, a few tears started to flow down Eris’ face.

She didn’t know why, but she couldn’t stop the tears from streaming down her face.

Deep inside Eris’ heart, she didn’t want to die.

She still has a lot of regrets, she hopes to meet her other friends.
