Chapitre 29: A New Way to Fight

"Um..." Neve said, her words coming out muffled due to her lips currently being buried deep in the valley of Erin's chest. "Erin?" 

"Yes? Do not worry, as soon as these enemies make their way to us, I will-"

"Let me go, please."

"Huh?" Immediately, Erin released her hold. "B-But-"

"Okay, you can fight them now." Neve then instructed, pulling back a couple of steps as soon as the lamia had let go of her.

Erin blinked. Neve could see her mind processing her order in real-time.

"Very well," the snake lady replied, turning toward the enemies.

The attackers, by the way, were a small group of goblins. There were four of them. Three fighters, wielding a club and shield each, and then one goblin over by the trees up ahead, all of them with murder in their small, beady, little eyes.

That one was wielding a bow and, judging by the arrow sticking out of Erin's back, his projectile had been what Erin lunged at Neve to protect her from.
