The man who had been observing us a moment ago finally recognized our identity. The moment we started running, the man also dashed out of the tent. He reached out his hand towards me. Ah, caught! However, the hand narrowly passed by us. Then, the man crumpled down below.

“Ah, what is this!”

What is it? It’s the sturdy grass!

Idriche and I quickly crossed the tent while he swam on the ground. Knights and workers who came out of the tent looking for the intruders were all struggling on the ground like the initial man. It was the gift that Idriche and I had prepared for them all night.

Oh, how much we struggled for that.

We found the carriage we had separated during the day, moved all the sticky grass, aired it in the water, and spread it at the entrance of every tent…

It was a tremendous effort.

So, please enjoy it!

When I took my foot off the ground and put my hand on it, my hand also got sticky. It felt like the slimy texture of seaweed stalks.

It gets thick after a day, but you’ll be able to get out afterward. Fighting.

Of course, you’ll have a hard time when washing again.

“Run, run!”

I cheerfully ran through the crowd with Idriche and the stuck people. But not everyone was stuck. Those who noticed that the person in front of them was stuck first stepped on the back of the person stuck on the ground and crossed to the dry land.

That’s why I didn’t want to be noticed as much as possible.

“Just a bit more! I can see a bridge over there! Just a bit more!”

I saw a wide river and a wooden bridge crossing it.

I moved my feet faster.

Finally, we entered the bridge.

But in the meantime, the distance with the soldiers chasing us was getting closer.

“Cecilia, keep running.”

“Just me? What about Idriche?”

Idriche stopped in the middle of the bridge. It seemed like he was setting up dynamite. Soldiers chasing behind Idriche were visible. Some had already transformed into eagles and were flying.

But even worrying about Idriche, I couldn’t stop on the bridge.

Yes, saving my own life would cause less trouble.

“Idriche, hurry up!”

Idriche lowered the dynamite from the horse’s back. The soldiers chasing closely were getting closer.

Swish, an arrow flew by and grazed my side.

“Ah!”

Look at this. Saving my life is the best choice!

I vigorously waved my aching leg.

Quickly, quickly!

In the meantime, it seemed that Idriche had released all the dynamite, and the two horses became free and passed by me.

Oh, I’m the slowest when it comes to running!

It was at that moment.

Kwakang!

A huge sound that could eat my ears echoed from behind. A hot heat attacked me fiercely from behind. My body swayed forward.

I collapsed forward. My ears felt stuffy.
Behind, soldiers with severed legs were falling down like rain. They spread their wings and lifted up comrades who had lost their sanity or were injured.

Wait, severed legs? I’m on my legs right now too.

I looked down. My legs were trembling.

“Ah! Save the person!”

I jumped up and ran with all my might. Now my legs didn’t feel like my own legs anymore. I tightly closed my eyes.

It was that moment.

Crunch!

With a terrifying sound, a large mouth grabbed the clothes near my neck.

“Ah, what is this again!”

I turned my head and almost fainted.

Only sharper teeth than the palm of my hand were visible.

“Idriche!”

With my scream, Idriche, using his broken leg as a lever, leaped up. His body floated in the air.

In real-time, the collapsing leg could be seen below. The floor I had stood on a moment ago had turned into debris and fell lifelessly into the river.

But how do I land from this height?

The land became closer again. I closed my eyes tightly, waiting for the impending impact.

But surprisingly, the landing was soft.

When I opened my eyes, I was already on the ground.

“Heu…!”

I sank down on the ground.

Although transformed into eagle-like beings, the injured eagles were busy rescuing fallen comrades.

Of course, we couldn’t let our guard down because it was only temporary. Idriche and I, who had turned back into human forms, quickly hid in the night tree forest.

After the eagle beings and the bandits disappeared, we finally caught our breath.

“If the dynamite had exploded a little faster, we could all have been submerged in the river.”

Idriche wiped my face with his hands. His hands were covered in mud, remnants of the chaotic scene from a while ago.

“It won’t happen.”

He said confidently, but I burst into laughter. Idriche’s face was covered in mud. He looked like a large dog that had just rolled in the mud.

I laughed unknowingly.

Really, even in such a life-threatening moment, it was fun to be with Idriche.

With him, I felt like I had become the protagonist in a novel or a movie.

Is it because of his handsome appearance? No matter what I did, his shining appearance made every scene look plausible.

Idriche asked if there were any injuries. Despite the whole body being sore, there were no injuries. Idriche was the same.

Compared to destroying the mansion and collapsing the bridge, it was a tremendous achievement.
