The Pride of a Guard
When you think about it, a carriage loaded with food would surely be targeted.
From the perspective of beasts, we’re easy prey.
It’s no surprise that we would be attacked by beasts.
Along with the sound of footsteps, somethings’ appeared in front of us.
The things that came out are 5 wolf-like creatures.
Their eyes however glowed red and, like what Misha said, it’s better to treat them as monsters.
[Goshujinsama, what should we do?]
Misha asked me.
[Haa…. I’ll defeat the three over there. Misha, please take care of the other two.]
[…You have become stronger, Goshujinsama.]
I got praised by Misha.
However, let’s leave the praise after we defeat these guys.

The enemy’s movements are extremely agile.
Even so, I have been training a lot.
I activated the ability ‘cleave’.
I swung the sword as hard as I could while leaving behind a line of light.
[Eat this!]
Although the damage isn’t fatal, it is still a good first strike.
Without stopping, I swiftly stabbed the wolf that is the closest to me to death.
…Not a bad sequence of event.
[Nyaaa!]
At the same moment, Misha easily killed one of the wolves.
The wolf’s neck had been twisted to a weird direction.
This should be the world’s most dangerous cat punch.
I also pursue and attack the already injured wolf.
In this stand-off, I purposely revealed a gap in my sword stance and the wolf dashed towards me.
It took the bait.
I gave the wolf a kick.
…This fellow only focused on my sword.
I broke the wolf’s posture with my kick.
Without letting it recover, I pierced its head with my sword.
The remaining wolf attempted to run away, but I killed it immediately once it turned its back toward me.
There must not be any hint of hesitation or it will be fatal.
You have to put in more effort if you want to run away.
[I finally graduated from a salaryman to an adventurer.]
Misha already finished the remaining one during this time.
[As I expected, Goshujinsama became stronger nya~.]
[Although I’m only Lv 10.]
[Most likely you are stronger than ordinary Lv 10s nya….]
However, Misha suddenly showed an alert expression on her face.

[I still sense the presence of other creatures!]
At the same time, I heard Lunaria scream.
I immediately run towards the carriage.
There was a monster whose whole body is slimy.
Furthermore, it had long nails like those of sickles.
Lunaria attempted to escape from the carriage.
However, the monster kept itself in front of Lunaria which made her so scared that she fell on her butt.
It’s fortunate that she did not sustain any injuries yet.
[It seems to be an Imp living in the swamp around these area. It is also this area’s strongest monster Goshujinsama.]
The words Misha said might be heard by Lunaria but now is not the time to be concerned about that. Haa…. Lunaria seems to still be in shock so there shouldn’t be any problems here.
[Goshujinsama, be careful! This monster is different from the previous small fries; its intelligence is extremely high!]
[Even if that’s so, we don’t have any time!]
I felt that this creature’s target is not the fish but Lunaria!
Its long nail swing towards Lunaria.
[He-help!]
I don’t have time to be hesitating.
I stab forward using the sword in my hand.
Please make it in time!
[Idiot! Won’t Goshujinsama be killed instead?!]
Did Misha think it’s a reckless attack?
[I! Am! A! Guard!]
[Haa~! I am Goshujinsama’s guard!]
Misha dashed forward from my side and overtook me.
Her speed is so fast that my eyes couldn’t catch her.
She almost instantly jumped towards the face of the Imp.
As expected of a Lv 71.
The Imp’s vision is blocked and showed signs of confusion.
Its movement stopped.
Now!
I pierced through its chest.
I immediately withdrew the sword and slash the Imp.
The enemy randomly swung its nails around but I can handle it at such close proximity.
The nail accidentally gouged my body but it is not a serious injury.
In the meantime, I slashed and destroy the enemy’s arms.
Victory has already been decided.
Slowly but surely, the Imp fell.

Ah…. It seems my level has increased.
Seems that Imp gave a good amount of experience points.
But, Misha made a [Nya-!] sound which feels extremely scary.
…It seems that I will be lectured later on.
However, there is still one more thing I have to do before that.
[Does your hands or feet hurt?]
I offered my hand towards Lunaria who is still sitting on the ground.
[Th…Th-Thank you very much…!]
Apparently, it seems that Lunaria regained her senses.
[Although you have just had a frightening experience, it is better if we move now. There might still be monsters similar to the previous ones coming over.]
It will be troublesome if even the horse was attacked.
[I-I understand…. I-I…I will bear with it….]
Lunaria might also be worried as she accepts my suggestion immediately.
However, while walking towards the carriage—.
Lunaria leaned against me.
[Lunaria?]
[I’m so sorry! I-I…. V-very afraid…. V-very sc-scared…]
That’s true.
One wrong step and Lunaria would’ve been killed.
I hugged Lunaria’s shoulder.
Although I felt embarrassed, but this is the only thing I could do to make Lunaria feel better.
[Do you feel a bit safer now?]
[Yes… Thank you…]
[Although I feel bad, but we should slowly walk. We can’t stay like this here.]
[Yes….]
We are not strangers, so if she could feel the body warmth of the other party, Lunaria will also calm down slightly.
However–.
Misha forcefully climbed onto my shoulder.
What to say, it feels like I am supervised….
No, she is obviously supervising me.
[Goshujinsama, I will let you eat my cat punch if you cheat~.]
Misha said in a small voice.
I will die if I received a Lv 71 cat punch.

—————————————————————-
Afterwards, we did not get attacked and safely reached the capital.
Although I expected it already, the proprietress thanked me furiously.
[I heard your bravery from my daughter! Oh my! Thank you very much!]
I was hugged multiple times by her…but I wish you would go hug Lunaria instead.
…Misha did not get jealous because of this as expected.
I got hugged too tightly that my ribs started to hurt, so I wish she would stop…
[Alright! I’m waiving your rent for the next 30 days!]
[N-No! I will pay the rent properly no matter what!]
Besides, I also receive other type of [reward]~.
On the same night we reach the capital, Lunaria came to my room.
It was just at the time Misha was lecturing me.
