Side Story 1: Nell around That Time

It was yet another workday for Nell, who had left the dungeon and was back in her home country. Most of her duties revolved around maintaining law and order in the capital. They included tasks like capturing criminals, protecting the Church’s VIPs, and patrolling the various city districts. In short, jobs that didn’t fully capitalize on her talents as a hero.

Not much time had passed since she’d officially become a hero, so it wouldn’t have been wrong to consider her still in training, which explained why a lot of her work was relatively minor. But she’d been taking on other kinds of jobs lately after asking her commander for them. Currently, she was performing one such duty.

“Shiiii!”

Her holy sword, Durendal, made a shink as she unsheathed it. With it came a simultaneous glint and splash of blood.

“Giii?!”

“Grrraaah?!”

Two monsters shrieked. They were bear-type monsters called bloody bears, and because they’d recently acquired a taste for human flesh, there had been many fatal incidents in this area lately. The adventurers and knights dispatched to eliminate them had been unsuccessful thus far, leaving the region’s human settlers in fear for quite a long time.

Bloody bears were strong enough to live in the Demonic Forest’s southern area, and Nell had to deal with not one but two of them. The pair seemed to be mates, and they coordinated their attacks, making them unmatched against the humans’ half-hearted attempts to destroy them.

Except those two monsters were now running away while screaming in fright because they were outclassed by her unilateral display of power. She slashed at their bodies relentlessly with her sword and deflected any counterattacks they managed to remember to execute. If they had been normal monsters, they would have been dead several times over by now. The fact that they still lived was a testament to their toughness, but the direction of the battle was already clear.

Unlike Yuki, who emphasized firepower, Nell focused on maneuverability in combat. She moved quickly at all times and slashed at her opponent relentlessly, no matter how shallow her cuts. Her style of combat was meant to chip away at the opponent’s stamina. As a woman, she was biologically weaker than men, so she knew how difficult it was for her to put weight behind her attacks.

Even so, as she was now, she was physically much stronger than most men anyway. Her superhuman strength allowed her to smash a boulder with a single punch. But keeping in mind the strength of the monsters in the Demonic Forest, she still felt like her attacks lacked force. Against those particular opponents, it didn’t matter how often she attacked them, because her blade wasn’t strong enough to inflict even shallow wounds on them, so her damage amounted to nothing. For that reason, she racked her brain on how to improve.

Nell had asked her commander, the lady knight Carlotta, for advice on the problem as well. When she’d confided her worries, her superior’s response had been along the lines of, “Well, it’s no wonder you’re having so much trouble.
