3 – Protein comes first

Echina Rugis ran out of the house as if running away.

The blood of knights flowed in her.

Ekina She liked swords from a young age. Like her brothers, she wielded a sword and she wanted to be a nice knight.

She didn’t want to be a weak young lady of a knight family. But her family took care of her like a baby.

Without the help of her second brother, Jean Lougis, she would never have even dreamed of going to Viscilia.

She climbed into her carriage, covering her face so that her identity and gender would not be revealed.

I thought my heart would stop when the big, distracted man got on the carriage. Fortunately, he was a priest of the Anas Church.

While she was on her way to Escardo, there were several inconveniences, but her identity and gender were not revealed.

The carriage stopped in a forest.

Echina I needed to urinate, so she moved back into the woods. She yelled at the priest not to go away, but she didn’t want to be found out that she was a woman.

She was about to pull her pants down after she moved a little further inside.

Basrock.

Quaak!

An arrow flew through the thick leaves and pierced her shoulder.

She felt intense pain for the first time in her life.

All senses seemed to focus on her shoulder, where the arrow was stuck.

She couldn’t even move her left arm.

“What, was she a pretty girl? What kind of cake is this?”

Her rogue approached, giggling.

She drew her sword.

The blood of a knight flowed in her blood. And aristocratic blood too. I can’t let my family insult me.

As she moved her arm, more blood flowed out.

‘This is how you die… ?’

She drew her sword, but she didn’t even have the strength to move it.

Her legs and hands trembled and she found it difficult to stand.

There is no one to help.

The only people who passed this place were the priest and the coachman who were in the carriage.

It goes without saying that the coachman has no fighting ability, and the only thing the priest can do is a throne.

‘If that person comes, will he be able to win…? ?’

Even if the priest helped him, he didn’t have the confidence to deal with the bandits.

‘No, he won’t come anyway….’

Echina gave up.

As I was waiting for the shadow of death, a huge shadow suddenly fell. After barely turning her head to check, there was a large priest standing there.

‘Why are you here? Run away….’

No voice came out.

My legs started to loosen up.

It felt like the world was spinning.

‘If I fall, that priest too….’

Eki I lost her mind and collapsed.

***

Echina She only opened her eyes 3 hours after passing out. She opened her eyes with difficulty and looked around.

Beside her was a man.

He had long silver hair, golden eyes, and a sharp nose and jawline. It was a trustworthy face.

He was shirtless, showing off his gnarled muscles. Echina had the idea that she wanted to touch her without even realizing it.

From her eyes, Gran was behaving strangely.

She took her heavy-looking staff with both of her hands and raised it high into the sky. He didn’t stop When he lifted, he lifted with power, and when lowered near his chest, he lowered very slowly.

And one more thing I couldn’t understand was the words that came out of Gran’s mouth.

“Wow, delicious.”

He’s obviously not eating anything. He only exhaled through his mouth and said it was delicious. Echina could not understand what was delicious.

She looked at Gran pretending to faint. I wanted to know what the hell he was doing, and at the same time I was envious of Gran’s body.

Ekana knew it herself. That her own body hadn’t yet been trained to become a knight.

It’s a shame because the blood of the knight’s family flowed. If he hadn’t been a little more talented, he would have failed even at the academy.

‘A real priest… ?’

“How long are you planning to stay like that?”

Echina’s eyes widened.

He was obviously turned around and never turned his head.

Echina’s face turned red at the thought that I had caught her spying.

“Are your shoulders okay?”

As she stared at his body, she completely forgot the memory of an arrow stuck in her shoulder.

Echina I hurriedly touched her shoulder.

There was no pain at all.

There were round holes in her clothes. There were bloodstains all around it, but the skin was still sprouting.

Eki I looked at her shoulder and cautiously opened her mouth.

“Yes…. I think it’s okay.”

“Of course. Because I healed you.”

“… ?”

Echina looked blankly at Gran. She continued saying “Oh no”.

“Ah, thank you…. What about the bandits? Where is the one who saved us?”

“Heh heh, is there anyone here who can help me? And the bandits are over there.”

At the mention of her thief, Ecina turned her head away in amazement.

There were thieves where Gran pointed.

Hung upside down from a tree.

As Gran said, there was no one to help here.

Who the hell made the bandits like that?

Ekana instinctively looked at Gran.

Then she shook her head.

‘No, he’s a priest.’

“If you’re sober, you’d better move slowly. It’s a long way to walk.”

Echina then realized that her coachman’s carriage had disappeared.

The priest carried his luggage without clothes on.

Eki It was the first time she had seen another man’s body this close. Even though she felt ashamed of something, she didn’t object because it didn’t look like a human body. It’s like she’s looking at a statue.

The priest walked towards Escardo without saying anything.

Echina, who was staring blankly at his back, thought that she had to follow him, so she hurriedly packed her things.

The two walked without talking. Gran strode forward.

Echina chased after Gran. Even though her priest seemed to be walking normally, she had to move her feet diligently.

Echina was having a hard time. And I was hungry.

“Are you tired? I will carry that sword. You can go over the hill over there and rest.”

The priest held out his hand and offered to raise her sword.

She didn’t know much about priests. I don’t even know his name. Although he claims to have healed his shoulder, he is a stranger after all. But he asked me to hand over the sword… ?

Echina carefully handed over the sword. She

She had an ominous thought for a second, but she thought it was okay to let it go.

“I’m sorry. Because of me…. You can just go first.”

“As long as we rode the carriage to Escardo together, we are colleagues. How could I leave my comrades behind and go alone?”

At his manly and sullen demeanor, Echinan laughed involuntarily.

“Thank you. Instead, if you cross that hill, I will even lift that staff.”

Gran laughed and then she moved her steps first.

After crossing the hill, the sky quickly turned dark. After finding a place to sleep, the two quenched their hunger with dried bread.

“What, no protein!”

The priest made an incomprehensible noise and jumped up as if possessed by something. Without a moment to stop, he disappeared into the darkness.

“Priest! Don’t leave me alone….”

Ten minutes have passed since the priest disappeared.

It was dark. Every time something rustled beside her, Ekina flinched at her.

It felt as if the arrow pierced my shoulder again.

‘No way…. Did you leave alone because I was in the way?’

She had a strong heart to become a knight, but she couldn’t cope with this pitch-black darkness.

I could even hear the howls of wolves not far away.

It was then.

Quang!

The sound of something collapsing was heard in the distance.

“It’s Sazeni!”

She cried out loud, but she got no answer back.

Kwaaang!

Once again, the sound of collapsing was heard.

Echina put her hands around her shoulders and shrugged. Fear made her tremble.

Basrock. Bassrock.

Thump!

Something is approaching slowly, step by step. It is a large creature even if you hear footsteps. If it’s a big creature that lives here, are there more than monsters?

Thump!

If I stay like this, I will die.

If you keep cowering like a coward, you will die.

‘I don’t want to die…. I don’t want to die….’

She pulled herself up and started to run away. The movement of the creature rustling behind her also sped up.

The monster finally showed up. It was a wild boar monster the size of a house with red eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

I’m chasing you.

They are chasing you at a frightening speed.

I could tell just by listening to the sound of footsteps what a huge creature it was.

She ran without stopping.

Despite the fact that she was in darkness, Echina, who inherited the blood of a knight’s family, escaped without falling.

Fortunately, the large creature didn’t seem to be chasing it.

But she had no idea where this place was.

***

“What, no protein!”

Your diet should not be without protein. Especially on a day like today when you walk a lot, protein is an essential element.

On a dark night like now, hunting using your sense of smell is effective.

After finding the game, I picked up a stone.

“Hyukcha!”

Kwaaang!

The stone flew at high speed and accurately hit the target’s leg.

As I approached my prey, a wild boar appeared. It was no ordinary wild boar. It was a leisure bag, a man-eating wild boar.

Achacha, that guy must be more delicious.

I picked up a rock and threw it at my leisure bag. It was a monster with tough leather, so I had to throw it a little harder.

Quaaang!

The stones flew away with a loud noise due to the sonic boom.

The stone pierced the leisure bag’s heart.

The size of the leisure bag looked three times that of an ordinary wild boar. Even carrying a large leisure bag was difficult.

Even at a rough estimate, it seemed to weigh over 600 kg.

I wanted to do some leisure bag squats, but I had to eat protein as quickly as possible even for a minute, so I hurriedly moved.

The stimulation of the femoral area was amazing when climbing the slope with a leisure bag wrapped around it. I grabbed the abdominal pressure and used my hip joints to carefully step forward. The so-called leisure bag slope lunge.

When we were almost there, an immaculate woman suddenly ran away. She seemed to be being chased by something.

I sped her up a bit to save her. But when I looked closely, I realized that she was running away from me.

I finally gave up chasing her.

Hagi, it might have been scary to tie up with a stranger alone in the wild.

There was no need to catch or find the woman who was running away. What was urgent right now was protein intake.

I went back to the campsite, roughly trimmed the red bag, built a fire, and roasted it.

“It tastes good too.”

I filled my stomach and went to sleep.
