[h1]Back Alley[/h1]

Getting out of the ruined inn and into the open air is better in some ways, but worse in others.

And that---

I can feel my heart beating so fast it's practically promising to tear its way free of my chest.

Through the gaps in its dull armor, it's easy enough to tell that it's putrid. The odor from its rotten body, closed off from the elements by its armor, is disgusting even from this distance.

---Ah, what is this, some kind of survival horror game? It's even dragging that big sword on the ground!

I don't need Javal-san to tell me to start running. He's not heavily armed enough to take it on without more preparation, that's for sure. It's huge, there's no way that's normal!

If only I knew how to cast a spell, I can't be dressed up like this and wielding a staff like this just because, not in this sort of world!

I clench my teeth tightly.

All I can do right now is run.
