“Huh? Why?!”

“Is it not obvious?! His Highness despises deities so much already, and you had to go and ask that……?!”

“I don’t recall becoming your property! Correct your atrocious statement!”

“Well, I guess there’s nothing to it now. It’s not as if we can just let them kill us… It’s really depressing, considering what will come of it, though.”

While the other three bickered, Finn’s sharp voice rang out.

“Let’s do this. We’re at a disadvantage in the open against so many enemies. We should fight among the trees!”

Finn’s decision was immediate.

The band of four turned down an animal trail. It limited the passage of horses and made it easier to predict enemy movements, and with obstructions blocking line of sight, the elves could not freely fire off magic for fear of injuring Riveria.

Covering Loki and Aina, Finn and Riveria entered combat the moment the enemies’ movements slowed.

Finn’s spear swiped at an elf approaching on horseback, and one of Riveria’s arrows pierced the knight who had been following close behind casting an incantation.

“Guh?!”

“Gah?!”

“…gh!”

Though she had hunted, she had never loosed an arrow at a fellow elf before. Riveria grimaced, seeing the blood and hearing the accompanying groan, but she could not allow her fellow elves to cast their spells. Scolding her fingers as they threatened to lock up in fright, she drove herself to loose more arrows…

“Lady Riveria, the arrows!”

“Curses……?!”

…until her quiver came up empty. Aina cried out, and Riveria cursed herself for not considering how many arrows remained, but it was too late.

The knight on horseback prepared to unleash his completed spell.

“Loki. Spear.”

“Catch.”

But Finn did not allow it. Taking the short spear from Loki, who was carrying their baggage, he threw it with blinding speed.

“Gaaaah?!”

The spear tip struck the elf’s staff perfectly, knocking the elf from his horse and provoking an Ignis Fatuus—an explosive eruption of out-of-control magic.

The resulting fire and burst of wind knocked a line of elven soldiers to the ground, and Riveria and the others covered their faces, hoping to avoid the splinters of wood and dust.

Unlike the magic expressed through Falna, elves’ innate magic was difficult to control.

It was far easier to provoke an Ignis Fatuus by interrupting or ruining an incantation, and that was what Finn had been aiming to do.

“You…”

“Did I forget to mention? I can’t use a bow, but I’m pretty good at this.”

Riveria was stunned by the sudden development, but Finn, unruffled, just flashed a smile.

It was revolting, but at the same time, she could not deny it was reassuring.

Riveria harrumphed unhappily and looked away.

……I don’t want to admit it, but this prum is different from the other prums I know. He was the first to show off his courage and leap in to face the enemy and protect that goddess as well as Aina and me.

…Like a prum warrior. Between that and his supreme skill with the spear, the only way Riveria could evaluate him was as a warrior.

Feeling almost chagrinned and not wanting to lose, she threw down her bow and began to cast.
