Chapter 125
On top of that, in the Thorn Forest… monsters appear! There’s a nest where monsters grow, and they’re born seasonally according to the laws of nature, so if she went, the possibility of being thrown into actual combat was high.
Seeing her horrified expression, Brax explained patiently.
“Polyxene , are you scared? It’s a guardian’s virtue to properly stand up and trample on the fear that will accumulate layer by layer in your heart. The other trainees are probably the same as you, but there’s a good reason they overcame their terror and accepted, so…”
Flutter. The documents in his hand flew toward her on the wind, as if they wanted to be stamped with her seal instead. Polyxene had a fit and refused.
“I’m not going! Ugh, I hate it. Go away quickly, hurry up!”
“Polyxene !”
In the end, she ran down the hill without looking back, her feet carrying her to safety. Brax shook his head with an expression that said he had no choice. He had known this would happen, which was why he’d tried to have a calm consultation indoors, but it seemed that had all gone wrong.
Meanwhile, Polyxene , who had just fled at the fastest speed in recent memory, was grinding her teeth.
“Hah, hah, hah. What? You want me to go to the Thorn Forest? That’s crazy. Crazy!”
She was already dying from wasting her precious days worrying about how to change Cassis’s heart and hurry up and marry him, and now the Thorn Forest is crawling with monsters? And to go there directly by teleportation without even a march…! Were they telling her to fight suddenly without any mental preparation?
Are they insane?
Countless curses swirled around her lips before finally being swallowed back down. She was so irritated she wanted to say something, but there was no one nearby. For example, the banished Lya.
“……”
It wasn’t that she had specifically tried to drive her away, but anyway, a major incident had occurred and Polyxene was bored these days. It wasn’t fun since the person who would enthusiastically play along with whatever topic she brought up had disappeared. It’s not like there weren’t colleagues or residents she’d gotten close to, but she had to be more careful with them than with Lya.
Anyway, her future looked bleak. She was still far from obtaining guardian qualifications, yet the second training was starting with the Thorn Forest. She found herself missing that annoying task from before when she’d wandered around greeting the hermits. Even though her legs had hurt a bit, at least it hadn’t been dangerous.
