CHAPTER 218 – IO’S PAST (PART 2) ~ THE PROTECTED GIRL



「Lightning!」


Io Akos dropped a lightning on the monster in front of her with smooth chanting and magic activation .


It is a monster called Harpia, having a woman’s face and body with wings and feet of a bird .


The harpia that flew in the air was hit by lightning and staggered for an instant .


Io was already mustering magic powers for her next magic .


She only needs to chant it andーー


「It’s dangerous, get back!」


「Io-chan, stay there」


A pair of male and female swordsmen charged from her sides .


The two of them cut off the harpia’s neck and chopped its body with a perfect combination .


It was a fascinating combination as usual .


Io looked at the two with eyes of admiration .



「Has Moris-san and Nay-san’s been in a pair for a very long time?」


The three of them walked towards the next spawning point after defeating one monster .


Their quest was to defeat five harpias . From how the battle earlier ended, it was an easy job so the three of them advanced without worries .


And along the way, the man named Moris answered Io’s question .


「I guess so . I think it’s already for 20 years」


「Ehhh? H-How old are you two now?」


「The both of us are 25」


「You were together since you’re 5-years-old?」


「You don’t need to believe this guy’s nonsense . If he was to mention it, when we were five, he just said “I’ll pass through that mountain and reach the town!” but only got lost instead」


「I-It was still an adventure」


「Okay okay, an adventure you caught me into」


Nay said and shrugged her shoulders . Io let out a small laugh .


She probably imagined the scene at that time .


5-year-old children, the boy dragged the girl to go for an adventure .


Io let out a small laugh imagining that heartwarming scene .


And, she thought to herself that her choice was not wrong .


Moris and Nay whose fame are currently rising .


It was rumored that these two would absolutely reach A-Rank, so Io searched for them and asked them to let her enter their party .


And right now, they are out for a monster subjugation quest together .


「If we were to be reincarnated, it’s better if the day we are born is a bit separated」


「If so, then I’m just going to chase after you so that we will be born the same day」


「Uwa〜, this guy, he’s a stalker . A stalker the instant he’s born」


Despite saying that, Nay was with all smiles and do not feel bad about it .


Two people who are strong as swordsmen, their combinations are impressive, and two people who help each other in defeating monsters .


Io stared at the two of them with eyes of admiration .


She admires the Heroes and Champions that appear in stories .


And she does not only admire them . She dreams of fighting together with those heroes .


“I want to fight and go on an adventure together . ”


That was Io’s dream .


She worked hard for that .


Since she found out her talent in magic, she continued to train herself so that someday, she will be able to participate in a hero’s party .


And right now, she is on an adventure with veteran swordsmen .


「Found it, it’s there」


The air around them changed .


Moris and Nay’s expression suddenly changed from a leisure one to a serious one .


「It’s a big one」


「Let’s go」


「Yes!」


「Io-chan, just watch over there . This guy’s dangerous」


「……eh?」


Io was eager, but it was a disappointment .


Moris and Nay charged while she was confused


The monster was the same with the harpia earlier . However, just like Nay had said, its body is bigger than the common ones, and both its speed and power is higher .


But the two swordsmen fought an even battle with it .


“I need to support them . ”


Io mustered her magic powers and stared at the monster’s movements .


“It’s fast! But I should be able to hit it somehow . ”


She watched its movements and somehow predicted its next .


(If it’s this, I think I can hitーー


But when she raised her magic staff .


Moris was sent flying to Io’s side .


「Moris-san!」


「I’m alright! ーーIo-chan, don’t move there . It’s dangerous」


After saying that, Moris charged towards the monsters again .


Io who was about to cast her magic, but the magic powers she mustered disappeared with an instant’s hesitation .


She was stopped twice, twice that is .


She was stopped because it was dangerous .


Io hesitated, but put her staff down in the end .


She felt a torn stabbing her heart .


With this quest as the last, Io parted with the two .


No matter how much she continued to train, no matter how much she worked hard and continued to become stronger .


Io was still unable to find somebody who would let her fight with them .
