Are you okay?

　As I got closer, I realized that she was bleeding even more severely. However, there were no deep wounds that were directly life-threatening, but rather numerous wounds all over his body.

　Most of them are lacerations, but there are also bite marks that look like they were bitten. It was probably the work of a demon.

"Raffy, can you hold her up?
Yeah, okay!
"'Analyze'

　I invoked alchemy to see the condition of the wound. From what I can see, the wound doesn't contain any poison. Only healing of the wound and increased blood should be enough to treat it.

　Wraith took out two different potions from his bag and gave them to the adventurer to drink. Then the wound was immediately closed. The adventurer's distressed expression also softened.

''Are you okay?''

　The adventurer stood up and checked his body for any problems by putting his arms around it.

''Oh, oh thank God you're okay.

　The adventurer sounded relieved and then exhaled heavily, as if relieved from the tension.

'If you don't mind me asking, how did you end up collapsing in that place?'
I was attacked by a demon in the woods down the road...

　Even though I had somehow imagined it, my mood still felt heavy when it was put into words. Apparently, there are still demons in the forest where Wraith's house exists.

''What kind of demon was it?''
It's probably a bloodwolf.
As I recall it was a C-rated demon?

　Putting his hand to his chin, Bosori muttered to himself, "C-rank," which is a bit of a tough opponent for a new adventurer. Of course, it wouldn't be Raffy's enemy as an S-class adventurer, though.

''Was there anything else?''
'No, I was so busy running away that I didn't see anything...'

　If the wraiths were to encounter the demons, they would focus all their energy on escaping. There would be no time to check the situation around them.

For now, we're going to go now, but are you okay on your own?
I'm fine, thanks for the help.
'I see. It's okay to say thank you and all that, so we'll just leave you here. Take care of yourself.

　After seeing off the adventurers, the Wraiths get back on the carriage.

'For now, it's confirmed that there's a Blood Wolf in the forest? Well, it's still better as long as they're an opponent for whom the potion to repel demons is easily effective.''

　The more acute the sense of smell, the stronger the effect of the potion to repel demons. The wolf-type demons are a typical example of this.

　It's a relatively easy opponent to deal with, even if you're a lace alone.

'Looking at that adventurer's wounds, though, there are likely to be a few of them. I can handle it, but the Wraiths are dangerous.
Well, I'm sure you are. I'm counting on you, Raffy!
'Oh, yeah...'

　The indescribable composition of boys relying on girls. Raffy, who has a delicate expression, can only nod vaguely.

　However, unlike his master, Wraith has no fighting power at all. No joke, if he was surrounded by demons, he would definitely die first. His skills for escaping have been honed for a long time, though.

'I see it. That's the forest I used to live in.

　With Wraith's words, the carriage, which had been moving, stops. From a quick glance, I can only get the impression of a deep forest.

I'm sure you'll be able to find your way out of here on foot. I can tell you the way.
Okay.

　If there were no demons, we could take the carriage through the wide open area. As long as there's a risk of being attacked, that's not possible.

　With Wraith in the lead, the two of them stepped into the forest.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

　Wraith felt a sense of security when he saw Raffy like that, but he looked firmly ahead so that he would never be caught off guard. There is no sign of a demon-like presence right now, but it could be attacked at any time.

''........I don't see them at all.

　Wraith blurts out, moving his gaze busily. Don't look, I mean demons. As long as I knew they were there, I was prepared to encounter them, but I didn't encounter them at all.

　We're already halfway home. It's not surprising that they should have met by now.

　As Wraith walked along with heightened vigilance.

It's cold.

　Pottery and a drop of water fell on his cheek. Wraith let her hand touch her cheek, thinking that it was raining.

　Then, a rather viscous liquid adheres to his hand.

''........hmm?''
Upstairs!

　Wraith's questioning and Raffy's shouting came at the same time. Wraith rolled onto her side as Raffy held her, unsure of what was going on.

'Whoa!'

　Wraith rolled over the dry dirt, catching a creature he didn't want to see at the edge of his vision. The creature bared its fangs on the tree, its eyes glowing a blazing red.

'It's a bloodwolf.' --I'm surrounded.

　Raffy's calm voice gave Wraith a complete picture of the situation.

　There were more than twenty Blood Wolves, which were lightly more than twenty in number, and they were ambushed on the trees. Moreover, they were surrounded in all directions.

　With this, there was no room for them to escape.

　While the Wraith stood up, the Blood Wolves landed on the ground from the top of the tree one after another.

''Hahaha, so this is what you call a desperate situation...''
Hmm, you're calmer than I thought, Wraith. I think we're in a pretty tense situation.
'No, I'm just used to these situations and I'm super freaked out inside. That's because I want to run away right now, hi.

　Wraith responds with a fading highlighter in his eyes. He is surrounded by creatures that are trying to kill him. The situation is too bad for The Ordinary Wraith's heart.

''Do you want to run away or ... okay, let's do that then.

　As soon as Raffy said that, a splatter of blood danced in front of Wraith's eyes. Raffy cut down the blood wolf that had jumped at the Wraith.

''I'll take care of this place. Wraith, get away from here and stay hidden. Even I, as expected, don't know if I can completely protect the Wraith against this number of people.
Are you sure you're okay on your own?

　No matter how you look at it, they are at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers. Even if it is Raffy, the quintessential Raffy, it won't go unscathed, will it?

　That's what Wraith was worried about, but he soon realized that it was a groundless fear.

''-- I'll be fine.

　The three Blood Wolves are killed by Raffy's sword in an instant. It's too fast for Wraith's eyes to see.

''Ah, yes.''

　If such a scene is shown, even Wraith can't interrupt it.

''Now, run!''
Yes, sir!

　Wraith, as instructed by Raffy, sneaks through the siege of the Bloodwolf that has broken down.

　Raffy, who is a lioness, will be able to destroy the Bloodwolf as declared.

''I'm just going to hide in the right place until then...''

　Wraith feels slightly pathetic and looks for a suitable hiding place. If I go too far away, it will be difficult to meet up with them, so I'm wandering around in a place that's not too close or too far away.

''Ah.''

　It was a coincidence. ........but it was the worst encounter I've ever had.

　What was on the other side of the grass was a wolf with fur that looked as if it was stained with blood - three blood wolves.

''Hey, I haven't heard about this one.......!

　With a drawn-out smile, Wraith quickly reversed his body. In order to save his life, he started to run.
