The Orc stared at me as if it couldn’t understand what was happening.

To be honest, I couldn’t even hurt an Orc with my physical strength. An Orc’s skin was so tough it could be processed into a shield or leather armor.

Only a tempered warrior could wound an Orc’s body.

I was just a frail 17 years old who didn’t have enough muscles in her arms.

But it was still possible for me to injure the Orc with my magic sword. It was a memento from my father, a freedom fighter who gave it to me after I decided to follow in his footsteps.

And so, I felled the Orc.

That’s what you got for underestimating women.

[TL: No, I swear that I will never underestimate women in this WN, they’re simply way too scary]

「… EH?!」

I tried to remove my sword from the Orc’s body, but it was stuck.

F#ck, I put too much power behind that last stab.

Suddenly, my body was lifted. When I looked behind me, an Orc’s face was right behind me.

I didn’t even notice it approaching me.

「BUHAHAHAHA!!! ♪」

「NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!」

I shouted at the top of my lungs. The Orc’s eerie laugh gave me goosebumps.

It was preparing to carry me back with it into the forest.

「HELP–! NOOO, SOMEONE HELP MEEEE!!」

I struggled violently, but the Orc’s grip was too tight. I couldn’t get away.

I don’t want this.

I don’t want my first time to be with an Orc.

Right then, the sky shone so brightly that I unintentionally closed my eyes.

And suddenly I was dropped onto the ground.

「Eh?! What just…」

I gathered my courage and opened my eyes.

When I turned around, the orc had already lost its head.

I turned back toward the light.

A horse was flying in the sky. It fired a light that pierced through the Orcs, one after another.

In the blink of an eye, all Orcs were defeated.

「So beautiful…」

The man riding the pegasus dismounted in front of us with his figure enveloped with divine might.

As he stood in front of us, I couldn’t help but notice that our savior was the most handsome man I had ever seen. A tall and slender stature, a well-ordered face and golden hair that glittered under the sun.

His handsome face smiled at me, making me blush.

I couldn’t say a word.

「Are you okay?」

I knew he was talking to me, but I stood there dumbfounded.

What in the world was I thinking about? I had just escaped a dangerous situation, and my head wasn’t quite keeping up with the development of the situation.

But not saying anything would be rude to my benefactor.

「Y-Yes! Thank you for saving my life! Those Orcs almost kidnapped me…」

「I was flying over this area when I heard your scream for help. I’m glad I made it in time.」

Then, he stretched out his hand for me to grab and helped me to my feet.

When he pulled me up, our faces got even closer. I could smell his refreshing scent, in obvious contrast with the repulsing smell from those Orcs.

「I’m Reiji. Can you tell me your name, young lady?」

「It’s Shizu-…- Faeria.」

Someone behind Reiji-sama chose that moment to forcefully cough.

I had failed to notice her since I was focused only on him.

I hurriedly let go of my benefactor’s hand.

「What’s the matter, Chiyuki?」

「My bad for disturbing you but come with me for a minute, Reiji-kun.」

Reiji-sama looked at her and I felt a pang of regret when he turned around.

I looked at the woman called Chiyuki and almost swallowed my tongue.

「… So beautiful…」

It was the second time on the same day that I unintentionally uttered those words.

The woman called Chiyuki was extremely beautiful.

Long slitted eyes, well-ordered face and porcelain white skin with long limbs and an hourglass figure. Her most striking feature was her beautiful black hair that grew to her waist. It sparkled like jewels in the sunlight.

I felt dejected. Not because I neglected my beauty as a woman, but because the other party was just too beautiful. My first love was very short-lived…

The Chiyuki woman looked at me then, and she seemed very displeased.

Her gaze was so cold, it intimidated me.

「May I speak with you for a moment?」

「Yes, I don’t mind it at all!」

I let out a shrill voice as she stared at me with her beautiful eyes.

「There were twelve Orcs attacking you, am I right?」

「Eeh… I’m not so sure myself. I didn’t have time to count them since they suddenly ambushed us in the middle of our escort job…」

The woman called Chiyuki sighed heavily.

「I see… Well, can’t be helped then…」

Maybe because she wasn’t interested in me anymore, she turned to Reiji-sama and spoke to him, completely ignoring my existence.

「What’s that about the number of Orcs, Chiyuki?」

「There are twelve Orc corpses and they were all killed by you, Reiji-kun. But it’s strange how there’s no one from a superior species around.」

「Any other signs of living beings nearby?」

「I’ve asked Rino-san and Nao-san to search the vicinity, but they can only find signatures of other demons. If there’s a superior demon that they can’t find around here, it hid.」

「I see… This might be the event the vice-president of the magician association warned us about. Maybe once we arrive in Ariadya, we can get a detailed explanation.」

「He definitely owes us an explanation…」

The Chiyuki woman agreed with Reiji-sama again.

「Next is to count the number of wounded. Everyone should be okay, we have Sahoko’s healing magic, after all.」

「By the way, is there a woman amongst the wounded?」

「Eh? Um… No., but…」

「I see. It’s fine.」

Similar to Reiji-sama, I’m also relieved to hear that bit of news.

It seemed like my comrade was safe and sound.

「Geez, don’t just worry about every woman in the world…」

「Hey, protecting fragile maidens is my job as a hero after all!」

「How amazing… If only that drive to save people worked regardless of gender…」

While those two bickered the leader of my escort team, Atlana, approached us. She was the merchant who had hired us to escort these goods to Ariadya.

She approached Reiji-sama and bowed. Atlana-san’s figure as she expressed her gratitude was extremely refined.

「My deepest gratitude for saving our lives, Hero-sama.」

「And you are?」

「I am Atlana, the leader of this caravan. Had Hero-sama not come save us, we’d have been in the greatest danger of our lives.」

「It was no big deal, I’m glad I could protect a beauty like you.」

Reiji-sama’s body language was very elegant, too.

「Ooh, I’m flattered.」

Atlanta-san and Reiji-sama were smiling at each other.

Unlike me, she was an expert. It’s probably the difference in experiences between us.

The woman called Chiyuki seemed even more put out by their interaction than me.

I felt a little out of place standing there, so I left.

It sounded like the conversation would take a while.

After moving away from Reiji-sama Big Sis Keyna came to me.

Since she was also a woman, we were in the same situation.

Despite being ambushed by a pack of Orcs, we were saved. It was a miracle.

「Looks like we were lucky, Shisufae.」

「Yeah, Sis… Fortunately, I was spared.」

「Nevertheless… It was incredible how he felled all those Orcs in one fell swoop. Could that man be the Hero of Light?」

「Hero of Light?」

「What, have you never heard of him, Shisufae? I suppose that’s normal. He isn’t that famous in this region… I heard that he was the strongest person on the eastern side of the continent. Beyond the central mountain range, you know? Also, I’ve heard rumors that he’s the beloved of Goddess Rena-sama.」

As she spoke, Big Sis Keyna stared at Reiji-sama.

I also stared at him. His strength truly befitted the one hailed as ‘Hero’.
