A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 72

“Ha—…”

On the way back from the small shrine in the carriage, Selesina was completely exhausted.

The tea meeting with Meria was already tiring as it is but she hadn’t expected Lucaria’s appearance there.

Selesina’s head felt out of it.

“……….Maybe I should just not think about anything and hunt some monsters now.”

Actually, recently Selesina had been defeating demons every day —–defeating Trent fairies. She was getting closer to her goal every day without exerting herself too much. She was defeating about 40 monsters every day.

By her rough calculations, she had defeated about 450 monsters to date.

“Even so, we still have more than half left to reach our target……………”

It seemed like a long way away but there was no other way. If she were to overexert herself and get sick then she may be forbidden from doing this anymore.

‘But this is a necessary skill to protect the village.’

Anyway, she was mentally tired today so she decided to just hunt and go home.

They headed to the cliff, to the spot where they would usually shoot the Trent fairies from.

It had been a little over 20 days. The month had also changed and it was now the 7th of the month of Earth.

Selesina and Hisui reached their usual fixed spot.

She looked down the cliff to see Trent fairies almost as if they were asking her to shoot them.

Trent fairies are small sapling monsters. They were different from the regular Trents. They couldn’t walk and weren’t that strong. That’s why you could shoot them from a safe area on top of the cliff and there wasn’t a way for you to get hurt.

‘There are many here today as well.’

Hisui said as he handed over the arrow to Selesina.

Arrows with flame attribute had an outstanding effect on the Trent fairies since they were plant-based.

Selesina was even able to defeat them in one hit now.

Selesina placed the arrow and pulled the bow slowly as she looked ahead.

Since she was only shotting from atop the cliff, there was no need for any quick movement during battle. The only thing that she needed to do was to hit the prey.

She pulled the bowstring back and shot the arrow.

There was a slight noise and the Trent fairy was pierced.

“Bullseye!”

Hisui called out happily and Selesina nodded in satisfaction.

The Trent fairies would leave items behind and then disappear once they were defeated. This was the world of a game so the monsters dropped items or materials and then disappeared.

It was great that there was no need to deal with a corpse but it was still a strange sight.

Selesina continued to shoot the fairies and soon Hisui informed her the number of monsters defeated.

“Lady Sele, you’re almost reaching the targeted number of 40 fairies.”

“Thank you! I think that we may be able to reach our target of 1000 today.”

“That’s right. Lady Sele, you’re amazing to do your best every day for this.”

At Hisui’s compliment, Selesina felt good.

She had become used to the bow and arrow and now hit 80% of her arrows hit bullseye.

Of course, it was only limited to immobile things.

‘I was able to do this much even though I’m an amateur. That’s pretty good!’

She used her handkerchief to wipe her swear and called out to HIsui

“Can you bring me something to drink?”

“Yes.”

After she watched HIsui leave, she opened the system to check it out.

“Asgarl System [Start up].”

“I did it! [Blessings of the Amulet] has reached Level 3!”

With this, no monsters could come within a 5 KM distance of the great tree.

“It would be great if I could tell everyone……………”

Selesina was concerned.

It was easy to say that no monsters would come within a 5 KM radius of the great tree due to the power of the great tree.

However, that might demoralize the guards.

Selesina was worried about the future of the village.

It was fine for as long as Selesina was there but what if Selesina’s fate followed that of the storyline and she was banished? What if she were to die in the end even if she were to stay in the village?

Selin village was protected by the great tree that was the reason why monsters wouldn’t come within a certain radius of it.

What if that knowledge was handed down even after the skill had expired…………? It was horrifying to even think about it.

‘Let’s not tell anyone about this skill.’

Even if monsters couldn’t come within a radius, bandits and wild animals still could. Therefore it would be a problem if vigilance was relaxed.

“I’ll protect the people of Selin village hereafter.”

She realized once again that it was a very warm village, a very good village indeed.
