The Adventures of Clara

Bad State

"What proposal?"

"You know, Mr. Greyhorn seems to suspect you're related to this fugitive."

"Eh? How can!"

"Either. His mind path is difficult to understand. Listen to it well. Mr. Greyhorn wants to make you bait. The proposal is that my friend and I will accompany you on a journey for a few days. The destination is Nagara Waterfall not far from here. With this all parties will be satisfied. You can be adventurous while Detective Greyhorn manages to execute his plans. Of course, everything can be very dangerous. So think about it. If you agree then meet me the day after tomorrow in front of the north gate checkpoint ...."

..."...."...

"Geez!"

Delicious sighs came out from his lips. The coldness of the lake water stimulated the girl's pale skin. Water in the middle of summer is the best.

After tired of playing water he can pull over for a moment to eat a snack and then return to play.

Uh, this is in heaven, huh?

"Where are you going?"

"Walk for a while. Whahuh? Wanna come?"

"Shu, shu."

Clara basking in the sun. He should not be able to do this because he and the sun are like sugar and diabetics. But thanks to the recipe of the elixir Raph all becomes possible.

Thanks to you now being out of nowhere.

Oh, yeah, after getting here Clara hasn't seen Pedro either. According to Lial he was inspecting the area around. Veterans are bed, very careful.

They are not alone here either.

There was a tall, burly male adventurer. Lial had seen it but did not know its name. She also looked scary so Clara did not dare to approach her.

In addition to the man there was also a woman with black and brown skin. Her violet iris was beautiful as if bewitching Clara to always look at her. He was also very friendly with Clara.

"I'm Lynn the Explorer. Greetings!"

Clara and Lial Beru first heard his name. But it seems he is also a veteran adventurer.

Sis Lynn told me about her various adventures with Clara making her eyes sparkle. He claims to have explored almost the entire world. From ice to sandy desert.

"Rhino and Brother Pedro haven't returned yet?"

It had been almost an hour after Rhino's departure but there was still no word from him.

Tired of playing water, Clara also decided to look around the area. But before that he had to put on his clothes first.

By the way here there are also many rooms complete with furniture.

After changing into white robes Clara was usually ready to explore. However ....

"Mmmmphhh!"

A hand smothered the little girl's mouth tightly.

Whahuh?

Wh who?

Various bad thoughts haunt Clara.

W-what a lolicon hiding around here.

Or maybe ....

"Pbuhh!"

Ah ....

"Fuah! ... Rhino Apparently. Just be surprised."

Sticking into the women's locker room and even smothering it. Has Rhino turned criminal?

Clara wanted to get angry but held back after seeing the man's serious look.

"A-what's up. Your face is more sinister, you know."

"We're under siege," Rhino responded, briefly.

"Eh ...?"

For a moment Clara's high-specified brain was unable to process the intent of her words.

Clara peeked through the window following the direction Rhino pointed at. There looked a fat man— very, very fat—carrying a mace that was no less big as a weapon. Wait, it's not a cudgel. It was the thigh of a monster that had been burned to maturity. The man is seen talking to Lial.

Clara could not hear clearly what their conversation was definitely not friendly.

Justright. Not long after that they started fighting.

The man, contrary to his stocky body, swung his right hand very quickly. Lial reacted by repelling his attack but his body could not resist until it finally crashed a few meters away.

Clara's stunned. That relaxed-looking swing actually contained a terrifying strength. If it was Clara who was holding him back, his body would have already been crushed into a pulp.

Without a doubt the fat man jumped towards Lial while swinging his weapon. It was fortunate that Lial managed to stabilize his footing and managed to dodge.

“Crazy,” whispered Clara.

The man was extremely ferocious and unexpectedly fast enough. Lial who learned from his previous experience did not dare to accept his attack directly.

Lial ducked dodging the attack of the fat man, then carried out a diagonal slash upwards. The fat man did not dodge at all and instead kicked Lial very hard.

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed from Lial's mouth. While the stocky man only has shallow scratches.

"R-rhino. Hurry along! Help brother Lial-"

"No. Remember plan b," Rhino argued.

The panicked Clara immediately recalled plan b. But still, if it continues like this then Brother Lial ....

"Don't worry. There were two other adventurers who would help at the critical moment. We better get going."

Thas right. There were two other adventurers that they had only met for the first time. But the question is, will they help?

"Clarah ... Trust your senior."

Gazing at Rhino's large black eyes, Clara was finally convinced.

After packing the items, the two lovebirds clandestinely walked towards the exit. However,

"Where are you going!"

They're busted. The cry of the fat man was like the roar of thunder. He tries to attack both lovebirds but is again preoccupied by Lial.

Without much more ba-bi-bu Rhino immediately carried the sweet girl Clara like luggage to the exit. From a distance still heard clashing between Lial and the fat man.

“Who the hell is that guy?” ask Clara, astonished.

“Entah. To be sure with the level of earth level mastery like himself is impossible just ordinary bandits,” replied Rhino, grimly.

“Earth level, ya~, means the same as brother Pedro, dong.” Clara nodded heavily. “By the way, Rhino, can not position the right carrier.”

“Now is not the time to joke.”

“Clara serious.”

But Rhino ignored him.

The two lovebirds carefully climbed the steep slope. Running into the depths of the forest followed the secret mark made by Pedro earlier.

What is plan B?

In short, it is blurred when an emergency like this occurs. The destination is Kenzi Fortress, three kilometers from Nagara Waterfall. There they will be safe. Or so the hope. It all depends on who they are fighting.

It seemed like this was a reply to Clara for her arrogance earlier. Why the hell would Clara expect something interesting to happen?

But even long before they got to their destination, they had to once again change the escape route.

There is an opening area in the forest with an area of about 400 meters. And in that area two groups are fighting.

One side is a group of fierce men with minimal equipment. It looks like a bandit. To his surprise, the leader of the bandit group was nearly two meters tall and wore a jet-black armor all over. Honestly, the armor seemed too luxurious for the size of bandits.

The other side was the five people who did not lose the demon. They wore standard adventurer gear.

“How is it,” said Clara calmly, whereas her heart was in a panic.

“Wait and see first.”

The bandit party used the superiority of numbers to restrain the adventurer. Yeah, just hold back. Five to six bandits roared at one adventurer but their superiority was uncertain.

The adventurers are strong not playing.

Even so, the truth that was being pressed was the adventurer party.

Three other adventurers were fighting the man in black and in critical condition. If not for the occasional help from their two comrades from time to time, they would have already been slaughtered.

Even though his nerves were weak, the bandit boss was unusually strong. In comparison, if the keroco was level 1, then the fat man was level 5, the adventurers themselves were in the range of level 4, while this passionate man was level 10.

That is the explanation of Mr. Rhino.

A slash came from the left, but it was easily avoided by the passionate man. The bandit boss retaliated with three consecutive stabs with each stab of a pale blue-looking light erupting from his weapon.

Adventurers A—call it so— can not block let alone dodge. The first puncture on the right arm joint caused his right hand to be severed. The second puncture destroyed the chest protector to his ribs. The third stab left his left arm malfunctioning. In other words, adventurer A is already K. O.

Adventurer B tries to attack from behind but the passionate man does a full circle round, making him have to back off.

Passionate man soon pursues but in the intervention of adventurer C.

The armored man swung his halbert, pushing back adventurer C. Then immediately deal with adventurer B.

Just then, a metallic clanging sound was heard. The culprit was adventurer A who should have been crippled. Somehow his injuries had fully recovered. Although he could not fully penetrate the armor of the bandit boss at least he managed to make a hole in his armor.

Clara who watched from the side felt emotions raging in her heart. Some are nervous, fearful, and panicky. But the most dominant is the spirit and anticipation.

After all, he was currently watching an epic fight that he normally could only read about in a storybook.

Unfortunately either Rhino or Clara were too weak to participate.

"They're all too strong ...."

Once again Clara regretted expecting interesting events to happen while adventuring.
