Author note: i do want to make all of them into a main character. However for some reason several people just stand out from the other. Is this what they call protagonist quality? Nah, just favoritism.

Anyway enjoy the chapter.

The battle began with Feral excluded from the fighting force.

“GRROOOOO!!!”

Just like before the Orc rushed toward them while bashing it club. Instead of Feral, this time the one that stopped it was Hyodou.

“UUOOOO!!!”(Hyodou)

Hyodou stopped the Orc’s movement by holding it body.

“Grrr. GROOO!!”

With it free hand, the Orc smack Hyodou with it club.

However as if he was made from steel, Hyodou didn’t budge from his position. This was the result of his steel body skill.

Compared to his normal body with this skill the Orc attack was like how a friend smacks their friend as a joke. It wasn’t hurt.

“Now!”(Yuu)

While it was immoveable from it side attack started to came one by one.

“Southern cross- style, 1st strike technique, Flash!”(Selia)

Faster than the other Selia delivered her sword technique and hit Orc’s back bone. It wasn’t hurt as much as Feral’s kick. However it was still comparable to it.

She originally wanted to aim for it head. However because of the different build it was unreachable even using the stick.

After doing her part she switched with the other because her sword technique required wide area to use.

“Take this!”(Icarus)

“Break! Break!”(Kevin)

They all focused on it back bone. While repeating their turn gradually that part weakened and after they weakened it enough it’s Hyodou’s turn.

Using his muscle that he gained form martial arts he strengthens his hold and slowly crushing the Orc’s body. It slowly tightens and tightens until to the very limit.

“GRO! GRO! GRO!”

The Orc was panicking as it waist slowly being crushed by Hyodou. It tried to struggle and bashed it club.

“Sorry. I will end it soon.”(Hyodou)

Hyodou apologized to the Orc and finally use his full strength.

“GROOOO!!!!!”

*Snap*

Finally the Orc’s back bone broke and it loses it strength. It loses all it power to resist and just helplessly fall into the ground.

It was still alive. However losing to ability to move freely is the same as spell it death.

Same like last time the Orc’s life was ended by breaking it neck.

“We did it!!”

They celebrated their victory over the Orc.

“Look like there’s no problem with this strategy.”(Keynest)

The one who proposed this plan was Keynest. Yuu already got his hand full with organizing this group so he had no choice but to leave it to the other.

Although it was uncool and slightly boring, it was the safest.

“Though this strategy only works with one enemy. Let’s just hope that we won’t encounter more than one.”(Yuu)

That was Yuu’s worry.

“Aaah, how booring.”(Teena)

Complain can be heard from behind.

“Just when we come to another world with game-like setting, why do I stuck in this boring situation? Where’s the princess? Exciting battle? Magic? Our adventure???”(Teena)

“Our adventure had just begun!”(Kevin)

“Kevin, that joke isn’t funny now…”(Teena)

Teena looked at Kevin with half-closed eyes.

“Princess and exciting battle aside. Magic exist, and isn’t this count as adventure?”(Icarus)

“You don’t understand it, Icarus. If it not you who do it then it’s the same as not exist! And I don’t want this un-fun adventure!”(Teena)

“Then want to switch place with me? It’s tiring you know, fighting Goblins and Orcs.”(Icarus)

“Don’t wanna! I want more… You know. Something like a cool battle with magic barrage and badass sword skills!”(Teena)

“In a way that will also be a problem…”(Icarus)

Icarus let out a dry laugh from seeing the child-like dream of his easy-going friend.

“Just bear with it until we found a human settlement. After that we can slowly get ourselves a new title.”(Icarus)

“Ah, that’s right! None of us obtain additional title beside the hero. I wonder what’s wrong.”(Teena)

“About that…”(lcarus)

Icarus made a sign for her to come closer and he whispered to her ear.

“From the previous case it looked like we can get it by doing a certain activity.”(lcarus)

“Really?”(Teena)

He nodded.

“That’s why we should be careful on what we’re doing. It won’t be funny if we get title such as priest.”(Icarus)

“Hahaha, I will laugh though.”(Teena)

“Teena…”(Teena)

Icarus held his head that wasn’t particularly hurt and once again whispered.

“We don’t know if we can change it or now. I and Kevin pretty much fixed to warrior because we fight the enemy. That’s why at least you girls should think of useful job such as mage.”(Icarus)

“I know. I know. I’m good at RPG you know!”(Teena)

Hearing that, Icarus can’t help but felt anxious about her.

“Secret talk? Let me in!”(Leica)

From the side Leica suddenly butted in between them.

“What are you secretly talking to Teena?”(Leica)

Before replied, Icarus thought about it for a second. He had a something reasonable for doing this.

“We were just talking about what title you and Teena should get. What do you think?”(Icarus)

“Hu~m, anything’s fine but, I do want the white mage. If I have that title I can heal Teena if she got injured.”(Leica)

Leica cared about Teena. That was on the level of being obvious to other. Therefore when it about Teena she always emotional.

So that he doesn’t carelessly land on her landmine. Icarus always caution when he talk with her.

“Then it’s better if Teena get a support or range attacker title, huh.”(Icarus)

“Yes, yes, it’s better that way!”(Leica)

Although their relation was great at the same time it was brittle.

Icarus, Kevin, and Leica. All of their relation was centered on Teena.

A delinquent, honor student, and isolated rich girl. With Teena as the center they all get along with each other.

Their story is for another time. However the result was Teena being their savior.

Icarus also felt the same. However he doesn’t think that it should stay like this forever.

“By the way, Teena.”(Icarus)

“What?”(Teena)

Before he noticed it Teena and Leica already glued together again.

“What do you think about present?”(Icarus)

“Boring?”(Teena)

“I see.”(Icarus)

Teena was clueless about what he meant. However that was fine. His real intention wasn’t that but, something else.

It will take time however surely… Icarus thought.

“Hey, hey, hey, looked at that! There’s three Orcs!”(Kevin)

Kevin warned them.

“Let’s take a detour!”(Yuu)

Yuu and the other talked about it. Fortunately they hadn't discovered them so, they decided that they shouldn’t take the risk.

“Aah, I also wish there’s something like what Teena said. It will be nice if we meet a princess or do an exciting battle.”(Kevin)

Like Teena, Kevin also felt dissatisfied with the situation. From his character it can’t be helped.

Among them, Kevin was the one that had the best compatibility with Teena, both in character and childish part.

“?”(Teena)

“What’s wrong Teena?”(Leica)

“No, I just think I saw something……”(Teena)

Teena tried to squint her eyes to look at the opening between the three Orcs.

“KYAAAAAA!!!!”

And she saw a small girl that was surrounded by the Orcs.

“T- This situation!”(Teena)

While the other was shocked by the sudden shout, Teena made guts pose. Teena wish had been granted.

Faster than the other to reach, she ran toward the Orcs like a brave warrior and declared.

“Get away from the girl you ugly pig! Don’t be afraid young girl. Teena and the other will save you now!”(Teena)

Cold sweat poured from Leica and she ordered the other to run after her.

Kevin laughed happily and ran without minding the word from Yuu and the other. He reached Teena before the Orc started moving. However he didn’t take Teena back and prepared himself to fight the Orcs.

“Icarus! Please protect Teena!”(Leica)

Leica doesn’t have anyone to ask except him.

“As you wish.”(Icarus)

Although he didn’t have confident to win again all of them he at least was able to protect the reckless symbol of their friendship. Icarus joined Kevin and faces of the Orcs.

From behind Yuu held his head and gave up and ordered the other to help them.

Although they send out some dissatisfaction in the end the hurried and get into formation. Teena was handed out small club that was Mike’s.

The formation was still Hyodou as their tanker and to hold one enemy. Selia also had given the role to hold off one enemy while the other five was to hold the leftover Orc.

While they were hold the Orc Teena will rescue the girl and they will make a run of it. Or that’s the plan.

“All Orc shall be defeated!”(Teena)

Teena boldly declared that. She was the type to do it when she said it.

Even before the battle begin Icarus already let out a given up laugh. However he was also excited.

Once they entered their position the Orcs ignored the girl they surrounded before and start to faces them.

“Once again I’m grateful to you, Teena!”(Icarus)

It wasn’t sarcasm but a real gratitude.

Icarus headed to fight the Orc with the other five people.
