Army Angel: The Dark Side

Can't you just shut up?

We walked down the forest to the south. Along the way fresh green leaves and bushes and moist soil accompany around us.

If I may say, the air here is really soothing. I don't know how long I haven't felt this fresh air. Lastly, only the foul-smelling air of corpses and explosives was found in the woods.

Uh. What the hell am I saying?

Back to this moment. So far no monsters have attacked us. We walked with the Archilles formation in front while I was behind him for 3 meters.

" Um.. Are you really the leader of the Orcs that attacked us? "

From below, a young girl voice asked doubtfully.

" Why are you asking? " Without looking down I answered him. I keep walking.

" Just curious. Is correct? "

" you reckon? "

" I don't know! That's why I asked."

" Is so. Well then, you better not know who I am."

" .... "

I glanced down and I found him shaking his lips like he was not happy for my answer.

"... So you're a real bad guy?! "

" No."

" Good guy? "

" Not really."

"..."

I guess he felt really annoyed at me this time and didn't ask again for a while.

'' Aren't you tired? Let go of me and I'll walk on my own!"

" No."

"... I'm not going to run-"

" No."

"Grp. Why do you always say no!! Why are you so stubborn!! Who are you really!! " He was struggling with annoyance downstairs.

Sighing, I lazily answered him,

" My name is Glen. Got enough? "

" So Mr Glen huh? My name's N-"

"no need. Quiet down!!" I cut the word.

" Enough is enough!!! Why !! Why are you doing this to me?! Where are we going!!"

But this girl is so noisy!! Should I stuff his mouth again? "

" Don't-don't..."

" don't-don't? "

Because I wonder why he did not continue, I glanced down.

I find now that the look on the face of a girl has turned frightened.

" You want to take me to your base and do despicable deeds to me!!"

"Well?!"

" A-A-I've heard this story. Orcs used to kidnap and do terrible things to women in the war!! Are you gonna do that!!"

This girl was now thrashing and shouting indistinctly.

" What do you mean? Of course I wouldn't do that!!"

"YOU LIED!!"

" I'm not lying!! Can you please keep your voice down? A loud noise can lure monsters closer to Oi! We've been lucky not to encounter any monsters so far. Don't you get it?"

" Are you unconscious?! You and your friend are the monsters!! "

"Huh? What the hell does that mean? Can't you just shut up? For you to know! I'm the one who saved you and there's no reason I'm gonna hurt you. So, can you shut up now! "

He flinched for a moment, then with a stare he said,

"Why? Why did you save me?! "

" Don't you need some help? Do you think I would have no heart to let you be kidnapped by that horrible creature? Hush already! Or at least lower your voice!"

He seemed a little surprised to hear my answer.

''Then, can you calm down now? I promise I won't do everything you think of."

This time he obeyed my orders. At first glance I glanced down he seemed like someone who was in confusion. I am thankful that he is no longer noisy. The atmosphere was silent again and I continued to step behind the Archilles.

" Hey! After I thought, could you just let go of me? " He tried to persuade me again. This time his voice was softer and not loud anymore.

" What do you mean? Didn't I tell you? It'll be useless to save you if you get caught back by those Orcs, won't it?"

" I'm sure I won't be careless anymore. I belong to the Ranger army and this forest is our territory. I'm sure I won't get lost or anything."

" no. We are very far away from the location of our meeting. Want as good as you are or be a hunter whatever it is, still the possibility of you meeting Orcs is not small. Just shut up!"

"But-but-"

" sir? Sorry interjected. But it seems there's something ahead." In a soft voice Archiles interrupted.

He faced me and pointed to the front, where it was something behind the bush that blocked our path.

I slowly tried to see what the Archilles had forced upon me after taking down the Elf girl
