In a quiet forest where the sun's rays shine through the leaves *Splash—* the sound of water resounded through the trees. This place should be the enchanted forest which is filled with high-level monsters and a very dangerous place but who would expect that a beautiful place like this exist in the heart of it. But not just that in this place was….

Lyle opened his mouth wide in shock and stood stock still. There was a girl in front of his very eyes but that should be fine because it’s just a girl but this girl was naked. Yeah in front of him was a naked girl.

On top of that, he thought, she was a cute girl.

She had large eyes with ruby pupils and lustrously moist cherry-red lips. Her white skin was as smooth as milk and dazzling. Her beautifully slender legs disappeared below the water surface.

However, what caught his eyes more than anything was her blazingly crimson red hair that clung to her gorgeous, porcelain-like body.

However, she was naked.

Stark naked.

‘Just why am I in this position? What happened? Am I dreaming?’ Lyle was screaming inside of his mind, thinking how he got into this kind of situation!

- 5 minutes ago -

"Wha-?"

The scenery changed before his eyes without any transition. He was just on the back of the gryphon; Sheila just a while ago, riding and enjoying the wind blowing against his body. But then suddenly three birds came out from nowhere and fire at them without warning. The gryphon evaded it but he was too late to grab on her body tightly.

And now, he found himself diving more than 2000 meters up in the air. Even while suffering from the pressure of falling, all he could do was think of the frantic and desperate face of the gryphon when she noticed he was falling. Even though he might die right now, he couldn’t stop himself from smiling and giggling.

‘Now then, what should I do? I’m really going to die if I fall like this! Oh right, I still didn’t have the time to try that’

Lyle immediately gathers mana in his back. Just likes before when he rode at the gryphon’s back, black liquid began to flow on his skin covering his whole body with dark colored scales, but this time it was different. In his back was a dark colored dragon wings.  He didn’t use it when he was falling before because to be able to fly using his black wings he must put enormous mana on it, but that time, he just used the to endure the blue flames so it isn’t enough. Now that he was able to rest when he was riding on the gryphon’s back, he had gathered enough mana to use it. He activated the

He immediately tried to flap his wings to fly but he failed. This is the first time he was using it so he couldn’t use it properly and he was still falling. Left with no choice, he braced himself from the impact. But maybe he was just too lucky; he fell not on the ground but on the lake.

"Wa!———"

Lyle landed in the water with a loud splash. As the water membranes slowed his fall enough, fortunately he landed safely.

"*cough* I thouht I bwas ghonna die...*cough*!"

He couldn’t speak properly yet because he swallowed some water. He immediately swam and quickly reached the shore.

“*cough* hahaha that was really dangerous just now! Hahaha *cough*”

He stood up and looks around to survey his surroundings. But what he saw made him opened his mouth wide in shock.

****************

- Back to present –

Lyle felt a cold sweat begin to form on his back.

Not good. Naked is not good.

‘......Speaking of which, shouldn’t in this situation, the protagonist will be massacred or it will be the new beginning of a RomCom? What should I do? The former is definitely really bad, and if the latter happens I will definitely suffer the consequences afterwards! I don’t like it!

No I need to run away! This might become a problem later on.’

After pondering for a while, he decided to run away. He turn around and start tip-toeing slowly leaving while the girl still doesn’t notice him.

But it seems some goddess doesn’t agree with him and has something different for him, because as soon as he started walking, the girl turned around and saw him.

The two people, for a while, did not move, as if frozen solid.

It was Lyle who came to his senses first.

"So-Sorry! No, errr, I never meant to peep! Ah no, no, what can I say? You’re beautiful?" Although he somehow tried to explain himself, his words fumbled as they came out.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

It was a simple, pure intent. Assuredly.

He tried to cover his eyes with both his hands for the time being, but he could perfectly see her charming appearance from the gap between his fingers.

"Wh-wh-wh...!"

The girl, on the other hand, had finally grasped the situation. Her face dyed bright red; she flapped her mouth open and closed.

Was it out of shame, or anger, or both?

"No no no....this is a huge accident, ok? It is definitely an unfortunate accident for the both of us... Even though this is an accident, I have seen you like this. I must apologize”

But still the girl was still trembling. Zapping sound of bluish-white sparks echoed. Feeling the ominous atmosphere around her, Lyle immediately said

"Don't worry. This is really an unfortunate accident! I am a healthy boy; I don't have that kind of interest. So rest assured okay?"

He tried to reassure her. He looks at the young girl's developing chest, and said—

"I have no interest in the naked body of a kid younger than me!."

He stepped on a gigantic landmine. An icy silence fell. The girl slowly raised her arm while her red hair was coiling around its length. Her shoulders shook slightly. It wasn't because she was cold, however, Lyle was oblivious to that fact.

"Fourteen—"

The girl's delicate lips mumbling something, and Lyle lifted his eyebrows.

"I-I-I am fourteen!!!"

The instant she yelled this, the young girl's red hair stood on end. The zapping sound of bluish-white sparks doubled. And now was sparkling from her body.

"Huuh!?" Lyle opened his eyes wide in surprise "fourteen!? For real? A fourteen year-old with such a pitiful chest—"

He quickly covered his mouth. It was already too late.

"Unforgivable," the young girl said in a low, cold voice, "D-Definitely unforgivable......you-you-you peeping demon, pervert, lewd beast!"

The zapping sound of bluish-white sparks roared. Rather than a stun gun, as her waist-length crimson red hair swayed, sparks flew from it like an electrode.

“Hear me oh’ great thunder god, bestow thy power to slain thy enemy in front of me and bestow thy wrath to those who are wicked ”

Just as she spoke, an orange spear of light suddenly and silently shot past Lyle’s head. It was more like a laser than a spear. He could only tell it had originated from the girl’s body because the afterimage of light stretched back to it.

An explosive noise followed after a slight delay. Lyle immediately held up his right hand to protect his face and the lightning spear struck it. It rampaged through Lyle’s body and sparks scattered in every direction and into the ground.

…Or so it had seemed.

“Wha-, what did you do?”

Her words seemed contain some shock, but the girl baring her canines was glaring at him. The high voltage current that had scattered into the surroundings had been powerful enough to burn a person into ash, yet, Lyle’s right hand had not been blown off by the direct hit. …In fact, it lacked even a single burn.

Unbeknownst to her, Lyle, in that moment, activated his to compress his mana and concentrated it into his right hand by activating So his right hand right now was acting like a mini shield and erased the girl’s electrical strike that numbered a few hundred million volts.

“hm? Nothing! And you know, before you attack me, you should first wear some clothes!” he said while shrugging his shoulders. Then he turned around and starts walking to immediately leave this place. He was calm outside but inside of him was turned into a mess. Right now, what he needs is to find Sheila who he believes is also looking for him.

“Wai-“GroooooaaaaaaaaaaarrrrRRR” –t!?”

The girl wanted to stop Lyle but was cut off because of a sudden growl. The girl and Lyle immediately turn around to see where it came from. What they saw was a large monster protruding from the trees. It was a cyclop-like giant monster, though it had two heads and four arms each wielding a club.

“No way! A titan? Why here?”
