Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 225.4
The man who suddenly appeared at the end of the road was an adventurer who was guarding the Herman Company.
As the villager put his arm around his wife and tried to leave, two men who seemed to be the adventurer’s companions appeared from behind.
“Wh-why, are you chasing me!? We haven’t signed a serf contract yet.”
“Yeah… so I’m not telling you to go back to the village, so I’m just going to take you here, so give up.”
“What are you saying…”
The villager pulled out his machete to protect his wife from the adventurer’s sneering words.
The guards were rank 3 adventurers from Solhoss Kingdom, hired by the kingdom. Of course, they had no intention of losing to the peasants, but the first adventurer sighed tiredly, judging that it would be difficult to capture the cornered peasants, who had only strength, unharmed.
“That’s troublesome… well, never mind. I’ll just take the woman, so let’s kill the man.”
The men behind him laughed out loud at his words.
“Ugh…”
“You…”
The village man groaned, and his wife clung to his back. The first adventurer pulled out the long sword from his back with an annoyed look on his face.
“Oh dear, you know the difference in strength. Don’t resist too much, okay? It’s troublesome if a woman gets hurt.”
“Someone!”

One of the adventurers behind the couple noticed something and turned around, and the next moment, a huge black shadow flew past the two adventurers as if snatching them from the side.
“What…”
When the first adventurer suddenly let out a stunned cry at his companions who had disappeared, the male adventurer also noticed “something” and turned around, swinging his long sword to the side.
There was a small human, still a child or a girl, wearing an off-white cloak.
I don’t know who it was, but I couldn’t dodge it at this timing. The male adventurer, who knew his own strength better than anyone else, could instantly swing a deadly blow without hesitation, and the moment he smiled faintly–
“What…”
The person accurately deflected the blade that was swung at his neck by pushing it up with his right palm, grabbed the shocked man’s jaw with his left hand, and broke it to the side.
“–!?”
I couldn’t understand what had happened instantly. It was beyond the scope of my ability.
It wasn’t just physical strength. The adventurer realized that his neck had been snapped without much effort, thanks to skill and timing, and collapsed onto his back. He looked up at the pink-haired girl, who was looking down at him with cold eyes hidden under her hood as she died.
“Don’t make noise at night.”
The man suddenly understood. He had overestimated his own strength and made a ruckus in a forest at night, which resulted in him summoning such a terrifying “night monster”–
