Author note: Just like requested i add the name after the lines. Is it easier to read?

I wonder, did you noticed that occasionally i made a mistake with Selia name. It's Selia not Selina. Maybe at the end of this week i will fix it together with adding name on each lines. And one more.

If you read it carefully you will noticed that Selia finished the Orc more or less within twenty strike. That's with her skill not normal strike.

In this chapter the princess opened the group and guiding them to the village. Enjoy the chapter.

----------------------------------------

“Hey, hey, how old are you Leisha?”(Teena)

Teena stuck close to her when she asked that.

“T- Thirteen.”(Leisha)

“As I expected. Hey, what does it feel to be a princess?”(Teena)

“Urm… normal I guess?”(Leisha)

Leisha tilted her head.

“Gyaha! As expected of a real princess.”(Teena)

Teena made a exaggerate pose as she said that.

“Hans, you’re amazing dude! How can you moved like that?!”(Huke)

“Just stretch yourself regularly and you can do it in no time.”(Hans)

Hans lightly told him while smiling.

“That sound like a suspicious advertisement but, OKAY!”(Huke)

Huke was okay with that and decided to try it out later. From behind someone touched his shoulder.

“Huke, I got something to say to you…”(Selia)

“Wha… Selia!? SHIT!”(Huke)

Huke in good mood turned around to saw a furious demon in human clothing. His face immediately went pale and tried to run away. He was caught on the spot.

“Brother Hyodou, how can I become big and strong like you?”(Hansel)

Hansel was inspirited to Hyodous when he saw him wresting with the Orc. He asked him his secret on becoming strong.

With a loud and clear voice which was normal for a martial artist, he replied.

“Eat, exercise, and sleep a lot. However the most important is, training!”(Hyodou)

“I see. If I do that then I can become strong enough to protect Gretel!”(Hansel)

Hansel innocently believed that.

“Mary, heal the one that was injured.”(Yuu)

“O- Okay!”(Mary)

On the other hand Yuu and Mary were busy healing the injured and collecting the battle loot.

It had become noisy after their previous battle.

Maybe because of the new companion which is a princess or the unexpected performance that was displayed, the air around them became more cheerful.

Even Hansel, who was quiet with his sister started approaching Hyodou together with Bfort and Gretel.

Although the adults still felt out of place from here, the situation was without a doubt improving.

“Teena, stop around that part. At this rate the princess won’t have any privacy.”(Leica)

“Eeeh, but I haven’t done yet.”(Teena)

Leica stopped Teena from asking more than she was supposed to.

“No but!”(Leica)

Leica scolded her like a mother would. Even if their age were same, the personality made their role like that.

“Hahaha, I will definitely remember that for the rest of my life! Isn’t that right Icarus?”(Kevin)

“Don’t throw it this way, Kevin. I’m not interested in it.”(Icarus)

Icarus serious about what he said but, to Kevin it sounded like a joke.

“Come on. It’s a princess you know. Me aside you might have a chance!”(Kevin)

“Chance?”(Icarus)

Kevin smirked.

“Come on, come on don’t act innocent now. I know your preference.”(Kevin)

“Seriously, I’m not interested……”(Icarus)

Icarus changed his tone but, seeing that Kevin didn’t stop he gave up.

“By the way, why is a princess doing here alone? Doesn’t she have a guard or something?”(Icarus)

“Ah, about that…”(Leisha)

When Icarus muttered that Leisha immediately come to him and answered.

“Actually I ran away from them.”(Leisha)

“Eh?”

That was an unexpected replied. Because from her appearance she wasn’t the type who would do something like that.

“No, that isn’t quite right. The truth is when I was on my way to the village a demon attacked and all of my guards were possessed by it. “(Leisha)

Everyone started listening to her. At the same time they also stopped moving just to listen to her.

“Fortunately the guards still had their conscious at that time and asked me to run away from them.”(Leisha)

“I see.”(Yuu)

Most of them already realized. If there’s Orc and Goblin then it wasn’t wrong if demon exist.

From a normal business trip into dangerous situation where she was alone, everyone except a certain battle maniac all of them felt sympathy for her.

“Then what about that demon?”(Selia)

Selia asked her but, Leisha only shake her head.

“I don’t know. After that I run away until I was surrounded by Orcs and saved by you people.”(Leisha)

Leisha ended her story and the cheerful air that was there before already gone.

“Ah, sorry for telling something that ruined the mood.”(Leisha)

Noticing the heavy air, Leisha apologized.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

“No, actually it was our mistake. Sorry for reminded you of a scary experience.”(Yuu)

This time Yuu apologized in place for the rest of the group.

“No, you don’t need to mind it. I rather appreciate it because I meet you people. Really.”(Yuu)

On Leisha surfaced smiles that look forced.

Even though it must be hard for her, she was strong enough to hide it with her smile.

The other who noticed that hugged her.

“It’s alright Leisha. We will protect you.”(Teena)

“Thank you…”(Leisha)

One by one they encourage Leisha. They gave her a warm feeling of being protected and easily accepted her into the group.

“Are you alright mister? Do you want some water?”(Leisha)

Leisha noticed that some of the adults group had a dry lip. So she offered the water she had.

“Hohoho, what a good girl. May the lord blesses be with you.”(Benedictus)

“Thank you for the kindness, princess. Can we really take it?”(James)

“You don’t need to be formal with me. After all you people are my benefactor.”(Leisha)

They were suddenly sent here without any warning. Of course they didn’t brought water and ration.

They were actually thirsty since the first Orc appeared but, because they can’t do anything they endured it.

They want to reduce their thirst. However they hesitated to take the water because the one that offered them was a princess.

“Then, I will take up to your word. Don’t be greedy and share it with everyone!”(James)

Starting with James they shared Leisha’s water. With their thirst satisfied all of them let out a breath.

The last person then returned the water bottle to Leisha.

“Here, princess. It’s your turn.”(Gretel)

“You are…”(Leisha)

“G- Gretel. It’s nice to meet chu!”(Gretel)

She bit her tongue.

Gretel who was still a child and a girl naturally admired the princess that appeared in fairytale. When she knew that she was a princess she can’t help but wanted to get close to her.

“Fufu, you don’t need to be that nervous. I won’t bite you or anything.”(Leisha)

“Y- Yes! I’m chorry!”(Gretel)

She bit it again. Leisha can’t helped but let out a laugh from how cute she was.

Because of Leisha polite and kind attitude she was also welcomed by the adults and child group.

Around an hour later the village finally appeared in their sight.

“Everyone, just a bit more, let do our best!”(Leisha)

Is it because of her charisma? In that short one hour Leisha already took over Yuu’s job of organizing the group. One can only say, as expected from a princess.

She easily took over the group she was unfamiliar with and became their leader. However exceptions always exist. Some of the people in the group for some reason didn’t like her existence.

“Just a bit more. Just a little more!”(Leisha)

Leisha hurried the other.

“There’s no need to hurry up. The village won’t go away you know!”(Leica)

The sun was already half way from disappearing. The sunset illuminate Leisha who was ahead of them making her looked bright like the sun.

Her swaying hair lightly danced because of the wind. And her smile didn’t lose with the brightness of the sunset. It was a charming scene. Both male and female would be enchanted by her regardless of their age.

Although she was still young she was already able to do this. When she grow up she definitely will became someone beautiful.

“Just a little more everyone, look we already can see it!” (Leisha)

Unaffected by Leica words she leaded the group ahead of them and hurried them. However unexpectedly someone speed up his pace and caught up to her.

“No. It’s already enough.”

When she turned around to the unexpected voice, she saw a big man with mad dog-like face.

“What do you mean by……”(Leisha)

“Die!”(Feral)

Before she can finish her word, Feral already punched her right in the face making her flew few meters passed the people on their back.

She bounced few times before she finally stopped moving on the ground.

“Wha…!”

Every one of them was speechless from the spectacle that happened in front of them. Some even have their face turned pale. Mary who was already pale from the start looked about to fell unconscious.

“Are you insane!?”(James)

James shouted still with a pale face.

“Why did you punch her? She’s a princess for god damn sake! Do you understand what you just had done!!??”(James)

Not only James, the other was also angry and was about to come at him or Leisha. However Yuu stopped them.

They didn’t understand why Yuu stopped them until Feral spoke his next word.

“Did you see that as a princess?”

With his sight still at the Leisha, he asked them that.

For a second what they saw was just a unconscious body of a princess. However on the next second everything changed.

“Fufu…”(Leisha?)
