"It was rude of me to touch your ears like that."
I apologized after regaining my bearing. No matter how cute she looked, what I did was wrong.
"I-It's fine. I would be dead if it weren't for your help."
Dead, huh? In the anime, she wielded a longbow and sniped targets from a hundred plus meters. Although five years younger, wasn't she too weak right now?
A flurry of steps sounded behind me. Ais stopped beside me and looked down at the corpse. She closed her eyes and lowered her head. "I am sorry…"
For letting Naaza hurt? Miach did give her responsibility to protect Naaza.
Naaza shook her head with an awkward expression. "The fault was mine for going alone."
The blame fell on all of us for losing ourselves in the conversation.
Nao stroked Naaza's head with a soft smile. ��Children can get lost sometimes. That's why you can rely on the adults around you until you are confident."
Nao said something heroic from her own experience as a big sister.
"Weren't we in a hurry to deliver the eggs?" I diverted the topic.
It worked as Naaza nodded her head. "Yes, please."
Not wasting time on micro-sized magic stones of the dinos, we traveled deeper into the forest. The wide path we walked on became a slope. Naaza raised her hand to stop us.
"A lair could be here. We need to be silent lest they call every bloodsaurus in the forest."
Bloodsaurus, huh. Klyscha blocking XP notifications became a norm nowadays.
"Let me go first."
Before others said a word, I sailed down the hill. There did exist a cave hidden behind a pair of trees.
With my sneak at its peak, I peeked inside the cave. A dozen eggs about the same size as an ostrich slumbered in a nest bunched together with twines.
Four bloodsaurus slept around it. Closing its jaws, I drove the dagger within its brain. Without a single cry, its soul left the world. I repeated the same with the three and picked up the nest over my head.
The others also descended by then. Lefiya's eyes darted to the nest, eyes beaming with curiosity. Ais remained as neutral as ever.
Naaza wrapped the eggs in a cloth and stashed them in her bag. She towed the bag on her back and gave a wide smile. The bag dwarfed her, even though she was above 1.5m in height. She reminded me of the pallum supporter, Lily.
I snatched the bag from her. "Let me carry this."
She stared with dead eyes and gave a half shrug.
"Will this be enough?"
"More than enough, Marikawa-sama."
"Let's return then, shall—holy shi…"
A bloodsaurus showed up on the hill, then two, three… more and more bloodsaurus popped out until the entire cliff was full of them. Ais unhooked the saber at her waist and strode towards the monsters. The Sword Princess wanted to fight now.
"Ais."
Lefiya's worried whisper made me smile.
Ais turned her head and nodded at Lefiya, her chin hitting her shoulder. Without saying a word, she darted forward like a bolt of lightning. Damn, she is fast. I quietly withdrew my specs to analyze her stats.

Spirit Blood… so she really is the daughter of the Spirit, even though the gods and spirits can't bear a child.
That Hero's Bride title. I had the urge to steal her to see how it changes.
(It will change. After all, my love is the only irregularity allowed to change the future in this fixed timeline.)
Even Grayfia's skills paled before this loli slaughtering the giant dinos. Blood poured every time her saber flashed, the fierce five-meter monsters falling against a loli.
"The kid is… strong," Nao muttered in disbelief.
"I see why the gods call her 'Doll Princess'."
She only took a few minutes to finish the task.
She cleaned the sword with a swing and slowly showed her front. The blood dripped down her armor and her doll-like face. My heartbeat rose. I calmed myself or I would be truly labeled as a lolicon.
With my handkerchief, I wiped her face and her armor. She stayed silent as if she was used to someone cleaning her after her battle. It could only be Riveria, who was called 'Mama' by her fellow members.
"I-I might lose against her."
Nao fussed over something trivial.
'You're a mage while she is a warrior.'
"That's not something I wanted…"
What is she talking about?
Her blazing eyes greeted me as I turned. She was afraid of losing against Ais. Well, both of them had different starting points. One was a peaceful, klutz teacher while the other one's childhood pledge was to kill the Dragon and take back her mother.
I shook my head. Nao can do anything as long as I am here.
Despite being so giant, a bloodsaurus's corpse had no worth aside from its hard, chewy meat.
We left the corpses for the vultures to dine on. I sneaked two teleportation stickers on the two different trees.
On the outskirts of the forest, Naaza whistled. The carriage came out from behind a hill and took us back to Orario.
