"Wait a minute, I remember my mother said there are monsters here, right?"

Leifana said hesitantly.

"No way, I've never seen any dangerous monsters here until now."

The rest of the little girls started discussing in various directions.

"How about we play hide and seek!"

"Um!"

Everyone nodded in agreement with Raphtalia's proposal.

Several girls happily walked back and forth on the grassland, chasing each other. They fell to the ground and just patted the dirt on their bodies. Then they got up again and continued chasing. The laughter and laughter echoed here.

The hide-and-seek didn't last long, and the young girls were already so tired that they lay down on the green grass.

"What should I do next?"

"Can everyone still stay and play?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't need to go home to help."

After all, this is the season for them to help with household chores, and even Raphtalia will help her mother cook.

"Then... let's play hide and seek again?"

"No, no, no, no! I'm exhausted. Let's take a rest."

"That's right, we're not boys, how can we be so lively and overdone?"

Leifana nodded in agreement.

Everyone immediately sat up from lying down.

Sitting next to Raphtalia, Rafana held her hands on the grass, leaned back slightly, and raised her head to look at the blue and clean sky that looked like it had been washed by water.

"The weather is really nice today."

"yes……"

Raphtalia nodded blankly along with Leafana's sigh. She didn't quite understand why Leafana would sigh like this.

Then, Rafana narrowed her eyes and spoke to Raphtalia with an interesting smirk.

"Na na~ Is there a boy you like in the village?"

"ha?"

No matter what, Raphtalia understood that they were about to enter the age where they would start to care about love.

When she was in the village, she heard the elder sisters whispering among themselves about who was dating whom and who was getting married to whom. She naturally became curious about this.

What does it feel like to be in love?

She always had this question in her heart, but after a long time, Raphtalia still didn't know what it felt like.

"I like mom!"

"...No, I'm talking about a boy, about the same age as us..."

To this, Raphtalia replied hesitantly.

"Well... there seem to be many types of liking, and I can't quite figure it out. In short, my mother said that my feelings for my mother are different."

At this time, Raphtalia was not very confident about her own appearance reflected in the mirror.

Once she goes to a nearby city, she will find that there are many cute girls her age, and her body will definitely reflect this characteristic as she grows older.

She felt that the looks of her race were not very good-looking.

‘But my father is handsome and handsome, and I really hope to be like my father. ’

‘Everyone praises my mother for being cute, gentle, and good at cooking... Will she be beautiful when she grows up? ’

She once asked her mother.

Chapter 20 Can you use a sword?

In the end, the latter just nodded to her gently.

"You will definitely be a great beauty."

She said so.

Returning to reality from her memory, Leifana, who had a fair and lovely face sitting next to her, spoke.

"That's right, then I want to marry the legendary Shield Hero!"

Rafana is Raphtalia's best friend in the village. In Raphtalia's opinion, Rafana is not only more like a girl than her, but she also likes to talk about love and couples.

And what Lifana admires the most is the Shield Hero who protects the demi-humans the most among the four legendary heroes mentioned in the story.

"As for me..."

It happened at this moment, and the girl had no doubt that such a peaceful life could last forever.

However, that was the day.

A dimensional crack appeared over the village.

From that crack, a large number of bone soldiers suddenly poured out from it.

Although the number of Bone Soldiers is large, they can still cope with the adventurers near the village at first.

It was only later that a large number of monsters, giant beetles, etc. emerged, and the defense line finally collapsed.

In the end, a huge monster with three heads and a dog-like appearance even appeared, and the people were ravaged like defenseless flowers and plants.

Raphtalia's village could not withstand the monster attack, and everyone was running away desperately to avoid the monster.

However, the monsters did not allow the villagers to escape and started killing people everywhere as if they were playing a game.

Raphtalia's parents were no exception. Although they escaped with Raphtalia, the monsters forced their family to the top of a high cliff facing the sea.

Realizing that they were going to die, Raphtalia's parents looked at each other, then turned to smile at Raphtalia.

Even in such a life-and-death situation, her parents still gently caressed the panicked Raphtalia's head.
