Sorry, for not updating yesterday, was not feeling well.
“They have come!” I said softly and sighed.
I had expected them, but wished they would not come.
It is the first time they have attacked me when I am surrounded by people. Though it is also the first time; they are supported by the bandits.
It is a perfect chance for them to attack me. I am aw...

“Fucking bastard,” I cursed loudly. The burning arrow grazed through my arm, giving me a sharp pain.

I didn’t even get a moment to relax as I killed the Orc bandit when two attacks came at me from the opposite side.
