"Be careful. The Demon King has bestowed power upon you. I will join you later."
Shami pinched the sides of Lureya's delicate little face with both hands, then turned and entered the bushes.
The blonde girl froze for a moment, unable to resist throwing a tantrum.
"What the hell, pinching my face out of nowhere! It's only at times like these you're a bit gentle! But you still want me to go on my own, huh? If I really get hurt, you'll regret it for the rest of your life, villager!"
The blonde girl touched her small face, her mind racing, as she ran out of the woods.
Outside the woods.
Shute was still thinking with his lower half, contemplating how to handle the white-haired girl at the end of the convoy as he usually does.
Lina pretended to need help organizing the cargo in the carriage, escaping from Shute's side.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the mercenary group's chatter, wanting to enter the forest.
"Someone's coming out of the woods!"
