"— — —"
The atmosphere in the air changed a little.
The roar of the wild dog suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared, making the surroundings extremely quiet.
There was neither wind nor rain here, and the rustling of the trees could not be heard at all. It was deathly silent.
This strange atmosphere made Raishin, Kamo Subaru, and Gunpei Rokurenai, who were planning to make a scene, unconsciously held their breath and quieted down.
Rozen didn't pay attention to these people, he just raised his eyes and looked in one direction.
At this moment, a black shadow appeared.
It was a behemoth that was nearly two meters tall.
Just like the wild dogs from before, his body was shrouded in black gas, and his body seemed to be covered with pitch-black rocks. He was like a huge stone giant, stomping on the ground as he slowly walked from the other side of the forest.
"…!?"
Seeing such a behemoth with their own eyes, Raishin, Kamo Subaru, and Yuge Mutsura almost screamed, but they tried their best to suppress it. They tightly grasped the soil on the ground, and their faces were stiff.
Rozen, who intended to stop the three in time when they made a sound, was a little impressed by the three.
(Although they are a group of kids, their quality is really good.)
I believe that when they grow up, these three people will definitely achieve something, right?
This was Rozen's premonition.
And when Rozen thought so, he felt that one of his hands was suddenly grabbed by a pair of slender little hands.
Rozen looked back subconsciously, and suddenly saw Domon Hinowa's little face was pale again, she was holding his hand tightly, her eyes were closed, and her body was trembling, and she looked very scared.
Her Royal Highness, who had always been pampered and protected by others, must have never encountered such a terrifying situation, right?
(It's really hard for this girl.)
Rozen couldn't help but sympathize with her, but now was not the time to care about this kind of thing.
Staring at the giant Shikigami outside, Rozen's heart was also raised.
After all …
(Superior Familiar …)
Unexpectedly, in this forbidden area, there really was a high-level familiar level shikigami.
In terms of pressure, this shikigami might not be as strong as the Shutendoji controlled by Domon Kirao, nor could it be compared to the Shadow Servant that Rozen had once controlled in Chaldea's simulated battle, but it was definitely not something he could deal with right now.
Since he couldn't deal with it, the children present naturally couldn't deal with it either.
If it weren't for Rozen's warning to everyone to hide, they would've been annihilated if they encountered this Spirit-branded Retainer.
It was precisely because they had vaguely sensed this that everyone present was behaving this way.
Including Rozen.
(Would a Spirit-branded Retainer of this level really appear in the Forbidden Land?)
Rozen's brows furrowed slightly. His mind raced as he seemed to understand something.
But no matter what, the most important thing now was to absolutely not be discovered by the other party, otherwise it would be dangerous.
So Rozen lowered his breath and only used Heavenly Eye to keep an eye on the enemy's movements, just in case.
"Thump … thump …"
The stone giant-like Shikigami walked with heavy steps while looking left and right, as if he was looking for something, emitting a fierce aura.
No one knew how long such a scene lasted.
After a long time, the other party seemed to give up, lifted its heavy steps again and walked toward the other side of the forest.
Gradually, the giant disappeared in the grass on the other side.
Until then, there was a sound of something falling to the ground behind Rozen.
"Ha … ha … ha …"
Raishin, Kamo Subaru, and Yukinori Mutsura sat on the ground at the same time, sweating profusely.
"I say …" Raishin said weakly: "Is there even that kind of thing here?"
"We … we were also shocked." Kamo Subaru was unable to pursue Raishin's attitude, and said: "That's definitely a shikigami possessed by the Mountain God, it can't be a low-level spiritual creature."
"Yeah." Yukinori Mutsura gasped and said: "I'm afraid it's an animal like a bear. What a terrible combination."
Originally, the bear was huge and terrifying enough, and now it was possessed by the Mountain God and turned into a shikigami.
The evaluation of a superior familiar was definitely not high.
"Fortunately, we didn't encounter that kind of monster before."
"If we encountered it, you would've died a long time ago."
"We're the same, we're the same."
Raishin, Kamo Subaru, and Yukinori Mutsura complained one after another. It seemed that they were really nervous just now, that's why they became so powerless.
Rozen was a little amused. When he was about to speak, a weak voice came from behind.
"That …"
Hearing that voice, Rozen seemed to remember something, turned his head and looked behind him.
There, Domon Hinowa lowered her head, and her originally pale face was replaced by a rosy glow.
That was also a very normal thing.
Because, she didn't know when, Rozen turned around and held Domon Hinowa's little hand.
Rozen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
In both lives, except for Matthew, Rozen had never been so close to other girls.
But …
(Her hand is so soft …)
Rozen couldn't help but think.
With this thought, Rozen didn't let go of his hand for the first time. He still held Domon Hinowa's hand, making Domon Hinowa's pretty face redder and redder.
The ambiguous atmosphere immediately began to spread between the two.
Until …
"You … what are you doing!?"
"Let go of Miss!"
Kamo Subaru and Yukinori Mutsura shouted and rushed over, separating Rozen and Domon Hinowa.
"Subaru? Mutsura? "
Domon Hinowa softly called the names of the two, but the two did not respond.
Yukinori Mutsura just protected Domon Hinowa behind him, while Kamo Subaru glared at Rozen, as if he couldn't wait to rush up and fight.
Upon seeing that, Rozen couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, and he shouted directly in his heart.
(I'm actually attracted to a ten-year-old girl? Am I a lolicon!?)
Rozen almost doubted his life.
However, at this time, Raishin came to add fuel to the fire.
"What are you doing? Isn't it just holding hands? "
Raishin asked such a question, which made Rozen really want to punch him.
This guy was a typical slow-witted male protagonist. When he saw this type of guy on the Internet, he wanted to beat him up, but now he was showing off in front of him?
Rozen thought for a while and finally decided to take action.
"Boom!"
Rozen's punch that was strengthened by Body Hardening exploded on Akabane Rozen's face.
"Ah!"
