The Adventures of Clara

First Fight

Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why ....

Why a thousand obscure his clear thinking.

Sure, even without the reader's notice the smart girl already knows the root of the problem.

If only he wasn't too determined to be adventurous.

If only he had not accepted Pedro's offer.

If only he wasn't too selfish and greedy.

But there is a fundamental difference between knowing and receiving. Even if Clara knew the reason, she could not accept it.

“Ah ..”.

A feeling of heat flowed from his back. Then, his entire body felt stiff to the point of being unable to move.

The girl forced her mind to calm down.

“Pisau? And also, Poison paralyzer,” thought.

Unless the wind shook the leaves, the girl could not hear any other sounds.

But, he knows. That person, the killer was there, right behind him. Watching like a tiger staring at its prey.

A hand stretched out, trying to reach him.

Fear flooded him. His mouth wanted to scream but could not be moved.

"Whoever. Please ...," he murmured on the verge of tears.

Then the handsome prince riding on a white horse came to his rescue.

After all Clara was not that weak to be killed by a nameless person.

The ring on Clara's ring finger gave off a dim blue light. The paralysis on his body was completely eliminated but Clara still fell down as if she was still in a paralyzed state.

Clara quietly put her hand into her white robe. His little fingers felt the metallic coldness; stroking it affectionately. This thing is his ace.

“Now.”

When the time was right the little girl suddenly turned around surprising the person behind her. He brandished his gun and pressed the trigger.

Dor's!

The sound of desing enlivened the silent forest.

Although not strong enough to injure people of Estarosa's caliber, at least this thing would be able to injure and even kill them with several levels below. Should, anyway. Of course, the condition is that the bullet fired must hit the target.

In reality, this enemy of his was able to dodge at the last moment to avoid fatal injuries.

“What the fuck! The distance is not up to one meter, you know. You monster,” the curse in the heart.

Clara hurriedly cast a random attack spell, yet the person hurriedly spoke.

“He-hey. Calm down.”

“Eh?”

The familiar voice managed to resuscitate Clara who was in a state of frenzy. The man, who else if not, “Kak Pedro!”

Clara paused for a moment to carefully observe the face of her opponent. No, wait.

His opponent managed to outwit Clara. Somehow he was able to mimic Pedro's clear voice this managed to let him off guard for a moment. In battle, this momentary time was extremely precious.

The killer immediately stabbed Clara with another knife.

"Aargh!"

A feeling of heat once again flowed through his small body. The unbearable pain became multiplied.

Clara tries to cast magic but is interrupted once again with a punch in the heart. It did not stop there that the murderer rained down on Clara with a punch until he was at the limit of his consciousness.

Done it.

"Fuckin' shit. Don't force me to kill you."

Even if Clara has another ace her body refuses to move. This was his first one-on-one battle and he messed it up brilliantly.

"Children today are playing with dangerous weapons" the killer complained.

Ok. Calm. Breathe in. Eject.

After a bit of calm Clara immediately drew up a plan.

If she wants to reverse the situation, Clara must first heal her wound. Luckily she was wearing accessories with healing attributes.

Let the killer off guard and Clara will heal his wounds. After that What?

Make distance? Not likely. His opponent is faster.

Sudden attack? Magic is impossible. The gun also has no bullets.

What .... what should he do?

Ok. Whatever.

Do or die.

Clara is so focused on her sea of thoughts that she doesn't realize that her enemy, the killer, has been killed.

The girl activated the healing ring to its limit. With this Clara would at least be able to move.

Next he immediately jumped open the distance and chanted attack magic.

"Oi! Stopit! It's me." It's me."

There's no way he's fallen into the same trap, right?

Clara ignored the sound and hurried to finish her chant. In his thought space he gathered the attributes of heat and red.

A basketball-sized fireball shot towards its target before it finally exploded. But his enemy managed to dodge without any injuries.

Clara was not surprised. He's already anticipated it. After buying a bit of time he returned to filling his rifle casings then aiming for his target.

However, Clara had just started aiming and a gigantic sword was already right beside her neck.

“It's quiet?”

Clara's heart beat sounded really loud. Once again he forced his mind to calm down and evaluate the situation.

"Sister, Brother Lial," he murmured.

The person before him right now was Lial. He should be a real person and not an undercover killer. If not, Clara's head would have been cut off.

Moreover, looking back he could see the corpse of the previous assassin lying on the ground. So it's obvious this lial is genuine.

"Faul."

Clara slightly relaxed her body but still did not loosen her vigilance.

He once again observed Lial.

The man's body was full of wounds. His armour was also tattered. Thank goodness he's alive.

"Sister Lial. Thank goodness, brother. And also, sorry."

"It's okay. I'm a bit surprised by your fighting instinct" praised Lial.

This time he focused on his own body. Minor injuries have basically healed completely. A little bruise left but it doesn't matter.

The problem was that two knives were still stuck in his body. The use of healing magic only made the removal of the blade even more difficult as the skin and blade almost fused together. Both must be immediately withdrawn.

"A-argh!"

Pulling out the knife on your own proves difficult. He has to ask Lial for help. But the pain is still unbearable.

"AARRGH!"

The pain did not allow him to cast a spell so he was forced to use a healing potion to seal his wound.

"G ... Precious herb Clara ...."

He lay on the ground with an irregular breath. His life was in danger but what was on his mind was money.

Lial on the other hand pensively looked at how tough this little girl was. Even adults might cry if they do what Clara just did.

"By the way, where's Rhino?" ask Lial.

Clara suddenly twitched.

"Yes. Yep! Rhino, Rhino tried to buy time for Clara to escape. Ka-kak Lial, Please Rhino, hurry," said Clara, panicking.

"OK, okay. Calm. Wait here I'll be right back."

Clara didn't force her to come because she knew she would just be a burden. He could only pray that Rhino was still alive.

By the way, if it turns out that there are other enemies around or if a wild beast comes, then it's over Clara. Hopefully Lial will be back soon too.

Clara decided to meditate while waiting for Lial.

Breathe in. Withstands. Dispose. Repeat.

Control the senses, concentrate the mind. Feel the nature around. Collect mana through breathing. Circularize. Dispose. Repeat.

Little by little, it is replenished.

After doing the same process many times Lial finally returned.

"Clarah! Hurry up, healing potion!" lial said, panicking.

Clara opened her eyes. He saw Lial cradling a dying Rhino. He hurriedly bathed Rhino with a healing potion.

He did not dare to be stingy because Rhino was like this after all because it protected him.

But something surprised the girl.

"Eh, the wound isn't as bad as Clara imagined."

The power of Estarosa is beyond doubt. Rhino received several Estarosa attacks so he thought at least some internal organs would be destroyed. But in fact, in addition to some external injuries, the Rhino state is quite stable.

Could this guy be really strong?

"So Miss Anna helped heal him" Lial explained.

"Anna ... eh, is she still alive?"

Clara's shocked. How could he still be alive when his head had been cut off?

"Yep. Scrupulous."

Strong people are different.

Anyway, Rhino was able to survive to this very second all thanks to Anna. But it would be nice if he knew of this before so he would not waste any precious potions.

"Eh, where is Estarosa?"

"As the two clashed suddenly Estarosa hurriedly left. It seems like something is going on" explained Lial.

"And by the way, I'd be very grateful if you told me that the enemy was Estatosa," he continued, somewhat angry.

"Ya~, sorry. Clara was panicking" said Clara, feeling guilty.

"Forget over. Let's get together with Pedro soon."

Lial carried Rhino while Clara carried a bag and luggage. The two followed the trail Pedro left behind towards the rising sun.

It didn't take long before the four of them regrouped.
