"It hurts!! Why did you do that Agness!" (Man)

"Why you ask?! didn't you see a nude girl taking a bath? I did that because you're a man" (Agness)

"You could kick me out of this lake!!" (Man)

"Wah-?! What do you think I am? A brute? Hmph! Will you're stupid!!" (Agness)

"And now I'm the bad one here? you almost leave me blind here!!" (Will)

Woah! They sure fight a lot, at least they are distracted enough to let me dress, but... why are they here alone? better distract them and finish this soon.

"Emm... Are you okay?" (Sam)

"Oh! sorry about that, don't mind this moron, sometimes he can be a little insensitive" (Agness)

"Yeah... don't mind the poor man almost blinded by her partner" (Will)

"So... why are you here?" (Sam)

"We were searching a rainbow flower mushroom... yeah, is a mushroom with the form of a flower, but we couldn't find it after three days. And now we were trying to find a lake or river to camp the night" (Agness)

"I can tell you where is one if you help me, I only want to exit this forest"· (Sam)

"Exit this forest? I don't think it's hard to find an exi..." suddenly Will realized something and readied his weapon and shouted "Agness!! get away from that thing!!".

"That thing? Will! that's rude!!" (Agness)

"Agness! that thing is a doppelganger!! why do you think it doesn't know how to exit this forest?" (Will)

(POV Change Will)

That was so close! that thing almost got us, I heard that this forest had many high-grade monsters and demonic beast, but I never suspected that we could find a doppelganger with a high intelligence, usually they take the appearance of one of your allies and attack from the back but the higher their rank the clever they are, and brutal.

"Reveal your true form beast!" (Will)

"I... I..." (Sam)

It looks troubled?.

"Will... are you sure she is one? She seems troubled" (Agness)

"I know, maybe it's faking it" (Will)

I answer to Agness, even if she loves to tease me, she is weak against that type of face. At the end, I see a surprised expression on their face and readied its weapon.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Wah!!" (Will)

What was that?! when the doppelganger takes their weapon and dashed in our direction but never attacked us. When I turn around I found that started to attack a demonic beast.

(POV Change Sam)

That was dangerous, their previous fight has attracted this bear, a bear with a truly metallic gray fur.

"An Iron-Fur bear?!" (Will)

"What do we do Will, those two are too strong for us to fight" (Agness)

"I know, maybe they are fighting for the prey, we can't even one of those two are too strong for us, the doppelganger can change form to something fast and that bear can run in line even with those trees with sheer strength" (Will)

"Stop already!! You better run or help me!! And stop saying that I'm a doppelganger, I'm only lost, Okay?" (Sam)

Woah!! that was dangerous, the bear sure has a strong arm, with only one blow it chopped down a tree.

"[Poison missile]" (Agness)

When I think they have run suddenly I hear Agness shout something and a yellow projectile reached the face of the bear, and backed two steps... it didn't much, now is angrier.

"The bear is too strong! to do something I need to use more missile! Will, help distract the bear while I prepare a better poison" (Agness)

"Damn! My weapon isn't strong enough to damage that fur or hide, so better prepare something stronger fast" (Will)

Even if I have a shield, I don't think its a good idea to use it to stop those attacks, and now that it's angry.

"[Poison Spear]" (Agness)

This time something stronger comes, but the bear blocked it with one arm... and now is angrier, Uhh? the poison melted the fur on the arm.

This bear realized that the poison is dangerous so it tried to ignore.

"(Better use something or Agness will be in problem) [Mighty Smash], don't let it pass us" (Will)

After shouting something, Will made his mace shine and a strike strong enough to push the bear.

"Got it! [Wind Thrust]" (Sam)

This elemental thrust is more than I think, the bear realized it and blocked it but when that happens a strong wind rush, it was strong enough to push the bear a couple of meters.

"Woah!!" (Will)

Well... it was even stronger.

"Do you want to kill me?!" Will shout after landing on a thick bush.

"[Poison Spear] Shut up Will!! you're still alive" (Agness)

The last poison spear managed to land on the face of the bear, and like a tree, the bear made a loud noise when it falls.

"We did it!!" Agness shout and hugs Sam.

"Agness!! Don't..." (Will)

"Come on Will, stop that, didn't we fight along? she isn't an enemy, she could've escaped while we fight the bear, or worse, kills us all" (Agness)

"But-" (Will)

"No 'but', apologize, RIGHT NOW" (Agness)

"Mhhh" Will grumbles in silence before giving a little in front of Sam "sorry".

"See? it's easy, you need to trust more" Agness replies with a smile.

"Why did you trust me?" (Sam)

"Oh? it's simple if you were a doppelganger you would bathe with your clothes or you would never have any because if they take an humanoid form they copy clothes too" (Agness)

"Well, put aside the matter that you were here without knowing why, do you have a name?" (Will)

"My name is Samuuu..." This is bad, I almost say my name without thinking.

"Samu?" (Agness)

"Sam, you can call me Sam" Uff, close enough, at least my nickname is androgynous.

*ROAR*

Whoah?! the bear is still alive? How? Its face doesn't have any fur and his eyes are melted. Why didn't we confirmed? there are many novels that say never relax before confirming that your enemy is cold dead.

Wait, it's me or the bear is slower than before? no, he is really slow because of the last attack, but this is different, everything is so... adrenaline rush? my body also is lighter, ugh... this is not the time to think about it, Agness and Will also are surprised.

[Thunder Thrust]

My spear is surrounded by lighting and pass through the head of the bear like it was nothing, and with a hole in its head finally falls down, definitively dead.
