We arrived at a forest after a long journey, there was a river flowing clear.

While holding the spear I tried to hit the swimming fish but as I expected, my spear didn't hit any of them, the fish just walked past me.

Iris who was sitting by the river laughed at me.

"Relying on your own strength? how should I put it… I think, you're the type to die easily."

"Please don't say that iris, this is all I did for you, it would be great if you said 'Fighting baby, you can do it' like that."

"Never would I say that!" iris turns her face while puffing her cheeks and it looks cute.

I looked back at the flow of the river focusing my eyes on my one target then shot my spear that was in my hand.

After the hundred and ninety-three trials, my spear finally hit them, although I only got two but this was enough for lunch.

In front of the bonfire, plus the sun I think I'll dry my wet clothes faster.

Iris who was sitting beside me was enjoying the fish I just caught.

"You can take mine too."

"May I?"

"Of course, I can find some more food around here."

"You're really good, Naoto."

Iris took my fish ration and ate it happily.

"iris?" I called his name and she looked at me.

"Do you hate me?"

"What's the reason I hate you?"

"Well, you know I asked you to accompany me in the world, it's possible that you're a little upset about that."

Eris just laughed at my words.

"I decided to come with you myself, anyways the occasional adventure like this isn't a bad thing, instead I thank you for asking for something like this... you know? I couldn't possibly leave my place there for no apparent reason."

Iris returned to eating the fish in her hand.

"It tastes really good, can you catch some more fish for me?"

"Impossible, once we get to the city and have a lot of money I'll treat you as much as you want."

"I'm looking forward to it."

let iris eat the fish, I went into the forest to look for food. However, in a place like this it is very easy to find various foods such as fruits, even I also found some edible mushrooms.

I opened my jacket and tied the ends of the sleeves, after finishing with various adjustments, the basket I made from the jacket was finished.

I don't know the name of this fruit which is clearly shaped like a red melon, the plant spreads between the bushes.

this must be a melon from this world.

Without thinking, I started picking and piling them under my feet. I managed to pick about seven fruits, just in case we run out of food. I went back through the bushes instead of the fruit I found, I even found a girl sleeping there. The girl's hair is black in a braid at the back. Wearing full armor with sword and shield.

There was a hole in the armor and blood was coming out of it.

"Oi, wake up...are you okay?" I kept shaking him but she didn't act. At the same time I heard a strange sound from far away, it sounded like the hiss of a snake.

I stared intently far ahead, sure enough, a Big snake head appeared from there quickly.

I immediately carried the girl in my lap, while running but she was so heavy...

"What the hell is this! oi, wake up!"

Feeling the burden getting heavier, I chose to give up running and lay the girl's body on the ground.

I took the sword while facing the snake that was getting closer. It's the first time I've wielded a sword but I'm no stranger to this thing. I've seen it a lot in the games I often play... it's the excalibur sword. Maybe I can use it.

Buagh!

The Big snake managed to whip me with its tail and then emit purplish smoke from its mouth.

"It's poison."

While covering my mouth with one hand, I tried to get out of the smoke by running, the snake chased me like a mouse even after I outwit the snake it kept snaking its way through the trees.

"Damn, there's no way out," I stopped at the edge of the cliff, when the snake emerged from the forest he stuck out his tongue as he lifted his body up.

His big eyes reflected my reflection there.

"Ugh.."

The  Big snake took a stance and jumped at me. I managed to dodge it by rolling over while the snake fell into the abyss in the water current.

I just stared at him from where I was standing.

When I realized, I ran in the direction where I left the girl. He must be in danger, the marks on the armor could be snake bite marks.

I thought about that possibility, when he got there another girl was next to him, she had towering blonde hair with a half grown body, Iris.

"Heal..." a glimmer of light appeared on the white hand of the iris, like a moonlight.

Soon the blonde haired girl opened her eyes.

"Ah, Ugh...?" the girl groaned while holding her head.

"...."

"Isn't that my sword?"

"Ah, well... I borrowed it while fighting the snake."

"Snake? ah, Right! He attacked my army, where is the snake?"

"He fell into the abyss and was carried away by the current," I handed the sword away as the girl stood up, Iris also stood up.

"I see... the snake will definitely come back."

"I think so too."

The girl turned her gaze to Iris. Then he lowered his head once.

"Thank you very much for healing me, my name is Sasha Alisria Leonhart, may I know your names?"

"My name is Naoto, the future husband of this girl beside me, Iris."

"I see, you two are lovers."

"No, the two of us are just teammates nothing more." Hearing Iris' rejection hurt me a bit.

"Ah, unrequited love."

""Please don't say that with a pitiful face Miss Salsa."

"Her name is Sasha not Salsa, Nao."

"Yeah, whatever it is."

"Please don't mind this guy, he's a bit of an idiot but don't worry he's really nice though."

Sasha laughed at our behavior.

"No problem, I'd love to invite the two of you to my residence as a token of gratitude for saving me, but unfortunately I'm currently on a mission."

From his demeanor and demeanor I could tell she must be a royal noble.

"It's okay, we just happened to be passing by, if I may ask, what mission are you doing here?"

"We actually came here to protect the elven settlement. According to information, the orc army will soon attack here," Sasha paused before continuing her conversation.

"But suddenly the big snake came and attacked us from behind, only I managed to survive it."

"I'm sorry for the loss of your comrade."

"Then we both have to go, come on Iris."

Ignoring my invitation, Iris smiled mischievously at me.

I don't know what that means but I have a bad feeling.

"You said you were on a mission right?"

Sasha nodded.

"May we help you? Even though Naoto is a great person, he can even take down monsters with one slash."

"Really? I really appreciate it." replied Sasha.

"Wait, iris what are you saying? are you still angry because I plan to marry you and have a child from you?, please don't involve me in danger!"

Iris covered her embarrassed face at Naoto's words.

"At a time like this you say that, have you forgotten the purpose of our being here? Looks like I have to give you something so that you wake up and remember it."

Lightning struck me a second time.

"You are okay?" Sasha looks worried about me.

"Yeah, it seems I'm getting used to lightning, soon I will definitely be able to become a Lightning god."

"Damn, your hair's gone."

"Uwaaah, Iris do something."

"No, I don't care."
