1 Hour before that.
All the villagers gathered at one point at the village chief's house, the cause of which was the disappearance of elena, alio and tobi.
"Sial ... why do I have to be at a time like this!!"
Someone feels upset, he is the father of alio, blaming the blizzard that came down without warning for the loss of their son, no, rather than that, than that, they blame the blizzard because they can't get out because there's a blizzard.
But that doesn't mean they can be calm.
"Quilea?!"
Someone barged in while shouting, he was the guilde and some of his hunting companions.
Guirde went home but no one was home and the only thing he could think of was the village chief's house.
And immediately, quilea ran towards the guilde and directly hugged him.
"Guird!!~~ ghaa!!!"
Quilea cried out in the guirde, and the guilde simply replied with a hug and stroked the quilea's head while saying "calm down"
"Yes, son of a guilde, you long ago also returned~ ... is this about that problem?"
Said a grandfather in his old tone, he is the head of the village.
"Well, exactly, the number of demonic beasts that were around here was growing in an abnormal way, so I therefore called an adventurer to take care of that"
When the guilde said that, some people entered the village head's house, quite large because it was devoted to meetings, but with the number of citizens who are now still unable to fill this entire room.
Back at the beginning, they were the ones who met Shelly and Sheilla this afternoon, as they said, they were indeed acquaintances of the guilde.
And their goal here is to solve the problem of abnormally developed demonic beasts.
"Well, rather than that, you seem to understand the situation here, right?"
" ...., yes, I understand, put that aside"
"Hmm?"
"Where's sheilla?"
Hearing the guilde's question, all fell silent, realized something and broke out in a cold sweat.
That's right, sheilla's not in the house, sheilla's currently running around in the woods in an attempt to find elena.
We changed his point of view.
Sheilla paused for a moment to wipe off the sweat and thought about where she should go now.
"The situation has not stopped"
It is very dangerous to be outside during a snowstorm, but sheilla has no problem with it and does not even care about it.
Once again sheilla stood up straight to stop her short break, then sheilla started running back in either direction.
.
.
.
It has started more than an hour since sheilla ran without direction and now she is on the verge of her limit.
(Where?, no, wait .. Is it possible that elena and the others have started to return to the village? If that's true then I'm like a fool here, no, I have to be grateful for that)
And the blizzard began to subside, sheilla looked up to see the clear sky, even the moonlight had begun to illuminate around the sheilla.
"Yahoo!!!!!"
(That voice?!, I'm sure it's elena!, which way?!)
"GWAAARGHG!!"
then there was a loud voice which was still clearly heard by the sheilla, and sheilla frantically noticed the voice.
(Near here!!)
Having found her direction, sheilla began to run towards the left which was the direction her roar sounded.
Although there were bushes in the way, it did not hinder the sheilla.
And in the end sheilla came out of the bushes and saw the incident.
Where there are 3 little kids and a monster.
(Elena!! And that's ... isn't that a minotaur!!!?)
Shouting sheilla, sheilla understood her current actions she did not have a single weapon that could be used against the minotaur.
No, although there was, sheilla was not certain of being able to win against that minotaur, the physical strength of the two of them was much different.
So the last option was to just save elena and the others, sheilla shouted for the minotaur's full attention to be on her.
By making herself a bait, Elena can survive.
"Come, elena!!! Go back to the village and call an adult!!"
"Bab-sister!!~ we got lost--"
Just hearing that, sheilla's mind was empty, filled with questions and concerns, and the only option left in front of sheilla was to run away and fight.
(If I run away, then the minotaur will definitely prefer to chase after elena and the others, and if I choose to fight and let elena and the others run, it might be able to succeed, he said, but!! I can't win against this huge creature!! Goddamnit!!)
At this moment, alio and Tobi were terrified, they were so scared that they could not even respond to Sheilla's words and think of a way to escape.
(Sister!~ ..)
"Ah!--"
Sheilla began to realize something, and stopped trying to think because she had found her way.
(No! This was the only way for elena and the others to escape)
"Elena!!"
Sheilla shouted loudly in order to be heard clearly by elena.
"So I'm gonna buy some time, listen!! Only 3 minutes, brother will only stall 3 kenit!! With 3 minutes it's run away!! Run away!! Wherever it is, at least to a place where you can't see this monster anymore!!"
"But, what about my sister?"
"Just calm down, brother will also run away"
Sheilla made a smile to reassure elena.
"Good!" Elena made up her mind to trust her sister's words more, and soon she started seeing her two friends.
"Both of you!! Don't fear!! You're men aren't you?! So realize!!!"
Said elena loudly to be heard by the two friends who were desperate, and just immediately alio and Tobi facing toward elena.
Without waiting for them, elena immediately pulled alio's left hand and Tobi's right hand, and immediately ran towards the front.
Alio and Tobi weakly allow themselves to be taken by elena.
(Good, good, that's it, my sister)
"Alright .. Now your opponent is me, you big creature!!"
Say sheilla with a little provocation, but it did not work at all for the minotaur because he did not understand human language even if he understood he would not be daunted if provoked by sheilla who was a little girl.
The minotaur thought, 3 prey or 1, however all living things will choose more numbers, because that is gluttony.
Regardless of the sheilla, the minotaur went running towards elena and the others.
"Curtain!"
The ground trembled and elena realized that if there was a minotaur behind her, she just panicked and thought of the many possibilities that made the minotaur chase after them.
And when the minotaur's hand reached Elena, a flash was shot toward her body, no, it was not lightning, but an arrow with blue light.
Fast forward to the minotaur. The minotaur was wobbly which eventually lost its footing which made it turn and hit the tree hard.
Elen did not understand what was happening and just tried to keep running to obey his sister's words.
Back to the minotaur.
He could not understand why he suddenly faltered and eventually fell, until he realized there was an arrow stuck on his body.
But because of his extremely hard body, so the arrow did not stick too deep and in the end the arrow fell from the minotaur's body.
The arrow fell to the ground and as the minotaur tried to retrieve it, it disappeared without leaving anything but the blue light until it was extinguished.
On the other hand, it was sheilla. Before sheilla created a bow, sheilla had her own bow at home, so she made a bow based on the one in her house.
(I had expected that it would not work-but I just knew that memorizing the creation could be mentioned in the mind, so I did not need to let out my voice while memorizing the creation)
Sheilla thought with a sour expression, and soon the bow in Sheilla's hand began to disappear.
prepare to fight!!
