Author note: About time for a battle scene. Thought the title chapter is princess, it doesn't discuss about the princess but rather rescuing her. So why don't i use "Rescuing princess" as the chapter title? It sound unattractive.

And thanks again for the positive rate Cactuar. As a simple creature i am, i am happy.

Enjoy

Their first time fighting multiple enemies, it was all thanks to the reckless middle school girl.

“Hold it off guys! Please hold it!”(Huke)

From outside of the battle field Huke let out a weak remark.

“Damnit Huke! Don’t disturb us and get your ass here!”(Selia)

Selia dodged the Orc’s club by ducking as she said that.

“Eeh, but I don’t have any weapon. Though even if I have, it’s only a stick.”(Huke)

“Just wait until I get there… Southern cross- style, 1st strike technique, Flash!”(Selia)

A fast strike was delivered and hit the Orc’s hand. It unintentionally let go of the Club.

It bend over to pick it up. However when it did that another attack struck it.

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

“Groooo!!!”

Together with the Orc’s cry a snap sound can be heard from the stick.

Selia put too much strength in that strike because of her irritation. She wanted to go back and give Huke a strike or two.

However because the Orc only blank it conscious for a second, it rubbed it head and faced Selia again. Because of that she only sent a furious gaze to Huke.

“Hii!!!”(Huke)

Huke who saw her furious gazes let out a shriek and hide behind Mike who was a bystander.

“GRROOO!!!”

Selia once again focused herself into the battle and momentary forget about Huke.

“Be careful everyone!”(Yuu)

From the other direction we can heard Yuu’s command. He also joined the battle however he was more into the commanding.

“Try to get the Orc attention, and at that time Raisen who has the warrior title attack it!”(Yuu)

Among them Raisen was the only one who got his additional title. Thanks to the Warrior’s Soul skill his strength was bigger than high school students.

“Come here you ugly pig!”(Kevin)

Hans, Kevin, Icarus, and Yuu would provoke the Orc and occasionally attack it.

Each of them had different fighting styles which sometimes collide with each other.

For example Hans avoid direct confrontation and chose his timing really carefully before attacking. Kevin on the other hand was reckless and often barely avoided the Orc’s attack. Icarus was between them.

At time he would avoid direct confrontation however when the time was right he would recklessly attack the Orc together with Kevin.

Yuu directed them from the side so that they don’t collided while also attacking the Orc few times.

“Kevin, stop rushing into the enemy and properly attract it attention!”(Yuu)

“I’m doing it! I’m doing it! Look it follows me around.”(Kevin)

“There’s no point if it only follows you around. Raisen, attack it! Then retreat while Hans distracting it!”(Yuu)

“Ro~ger.”(Hans)

“Got it!”(Raisen)

Both of them replied and start doing their part.

“Haaa!!”(Raisen)

Just like command, Raisen started to attack the Orc.

“GRROOOO!!!”

However even with five people it wasn’t easy. Even with five people fighting again it, it always marked Raisen. Is it animal instinct or something else but, the Orc definitely being caution of him.

Raisen dodged the Orc’s attack by either ducking or moved to the side.

“Take this!”(Raisen)

Raisen swung his stick.

“Grryo!?”

The Orc let out a strange cry and bend over it body.

Raisen’s attack was strong. Especially because of the other effect of Warrior’s soul that made his stamina bigger so he haven’t exhausted yet. However that was insufficient to make the Orc let out that cry.

The reason of the Orc’s strange cry was none other than the place he attack. It was it crouches.

“G- G- GGRRROOOOOOO!!!”

Of course it was angry when it all male weak point was attacked. Huke who saw that from afar also bended his body while covering for his crouches.

“We’re using wooden stick here. At least bare this kind of dirty play.”(Raisen)

“GRROOOOOOO!!!!!’

Completely in anger it ignored Raisen’s excuse and started bashing it club at him. Just like order Raisen retreated back and switched with Hans.

Currently Hans position was between Raisen and the Orc. Normal person would just turn back and also retreat with Raisen.

However Hans was slightly different. When the Orc’s club was about to hit him, he barely moved and perfectly dodged it in perfect composure.

Hans continue to dodge it attack by doing that or made an inhuman move such as made a mid-air bridge like the one in matrix or jumping here and there like a cat.

“ Hup, oops. Phew, close one!”(Hans)

Although he said that his was face still in smile. Shortly the Orc started to get irritated from his and planned to finish him so that it can change Raisen.

The Orc used all of it strength and swung it club down. Some of the dirt and weed was blown away from that strike and dust blocked their vision for a second.

In that second Hans jumped using the club as it stepping stone and was in the air.

“Hi there big guy, let me make your nose flatter!”(Hans)

He swung his club at the Orc’s face and made a somersault before he landed behind the Orc.

“Grrr, GROOOO!!!’

Feeling humiliated the Orc started chasing Hans but, he was already gone. In exchange Kevin was Icarus were there.

“OORYAAA!!!”(Kevin)

Just when the Orc turned away it was hit by several strikes form behind. It was hurt but, barely did any damage.

“Change, Kevin. Haa!!”(Icarus)

Following that Icarus switched with Kevin and landed a thrust at the Orc’s crouches.

‘”Grou!”

This time the Orc fell while covering it crouches. Although they can sympathize with it, it wasn’t the right time.

“Kevin, now!”(Icarus)

“Okay! Oryaaa!!!”(Kevin)

Kevin strikes the Orc’s head several times.

*Snap*

“Ah, it broke.”(Kevin)

Because of how he used the stick it finally broke while the Orc was bleeding on its head. Kevin had no choice but to retreat from there.

“I’m out of here!... Eh!”(Kevin)

However the Orc didn’t let him. It grabbed his leg and held him high in the air.

“KEVIN!”(Icarus)

“Wai- AAAAHHHH!!!!”(Kevin)

The Orc tighten its grip and make Kevin let out a cry.

“Icarus, do something about it!”(Kevin)

Kevin who was in helpless position seeks out for help. Icarus who was his friend immediately replied back and was about to help him. However someone was faster than him.

“Tou!”

Swiftly, that person entered the Orc’s blind side and jumped. That person build was small, however that didn’t meant that she had a disadvantage with it.

Teena was on her rescue. She used the small club that was handed to her and hit the Orc’s hand. It let go of Kevin and he fell into the ground face first.

“O- Ouch…”(Kevin)

“Fufu, Kevin, so lame.”(Teena)

Kevin was fine so does Teena who was cheerfully laughed at him.

However the Orc wasn’t. It was furious because once again it was bothered.

It reached out to crush Teena with it hand.

“Teena, watch out!”(Leica)

Leica warned her from afar. However it was unnecessary.

“Haa!!”(Icarus)

Icarus noticed the hand that intended to harm her and immediately acted. He swung the stick with all of his strength and luckily he broke the Orc’s hand.

“GRooooo!!!”

"Teena, be careful of your back when fighting!" (Icarus)

“Phew, that was dangerous.”(Teena)

Teena let out a relieve sigh.

“You three don’t stop moving and get away from there!”(Yuu)

“Ye~s!”(Teena)

The two followed Yuu’s command and retreat back. While Teena on the other hand went passed the Orc and headed toward the unknown girl.

“Are you alright, little girl?”(Teena)

Teena intended to said it in a clichés way.

“E…A, Yes I’m fine.”(Girl)

The girl was around twelve till thirteen years old. She had a glossy natural blue hair unlike Kevin’s and wore gorgeous looking clothes behind her cloak.

Her face was beautiful. With her eyes that was pretty with gem like pupil and clear blue color. Her face shape and skin also perfect as if she was man-made masterpiece.

(AALLL RIGHT!!!)

Inside Teena’s mind she shouted.

This was one of Teena’s dreamed situations. From Teena speculation she was someone from upper degree such as noble, possibly princess.

“Can you stand up? It’s dangerous here so let’s go across there while my subordinates keep them busy.”(Teena)

To increases her image, Teena shamelessly declared that the other that was fighting the Orcs were her subordinates.

“I’m fine.”(Girl)

“Then let us go.”(Teena)

The girl took Teena’s hand and they started running to safety.

At the same time, Selina managed to defeat the Orc by herself with the price of her weapon. Currently she was chasing after Huke.

Shortly after Hyoudou also managed to defeat the Orc although he was having a hard time because he was literally wrestling with it. With Hyodou’s help the leftover Orc was also finished.

It was already significantly weakened because of the cooperation of five people, and it stamina also reaching it limit.

Thus, they defeated three Orc’s and obtain their first victory again multiple enemies. Though they didn’t care about it and put their attention to the girl they saved.

“I’m Leisha H Yuulbheim. Thank you for saving me, travelers.”(Leisha)

The girl gracefully bowed, expressing her gratitude.

“No, it was natural thing to do.”(Yuu)

“Hey, hey, are you a princess? Princess is you?”(Teena)

“? That’s right. I’m this country princess. Haven’t you heard about me?”(Leisha)

Teena was overjoyed. Not only Teena, the other also had some kind of expectation from this development.

“Sorry, we’re not from here so we don’t know.“(Yuu)

“That makes sense. Then where are you people headed to?”(Leisha)

“The thing is… we’re lost. Do you know the nearest village?”(Yuu)

What a blatant lie. However that helped because they can’t talk about themselves.

Leisha who was oblivious to that clapped her hand together as if she thought of something good.

“Ah, if it about that then why don’t we go together? I also happen to have business there!”(Leisha)

“Un, un, that’s a good idea! Let’s go!”(Teena)

Teena’s proactiveness made Yuu loss of words. He had no choice but to agree with it.

“A girl alone in this place also dangerous anyway. It’s better if you go with us. There’s no problem right?”(Yuu)

Just in case, Yuu asked the other. No one object.

“Yey! Isn’t that great Leisha?”(Teena)

“Yes! U- Urm, Teena was it?”(Leisha)

“Yup! Nice to meet you.”(Teena)

“I also feel the same.”(Leisha)

Leisha smiled.

With this their party increases into twenty six people. Then they moved toward the nearest village with the help of Leisha.

Never did they know what was awaited them there.
