Chapter 31 - Volume 1
TL: When I reached home, I just plonked into bed and slept like a log. Oops. I’m heading to school in a few minutes so I didn’t check for any mistakes aside from spell check. I’ll get back to it when I come back from school.

Chapter 31 – Aftermath of the battle.
420 XP.
The golden lights gathered in mid air to form a stream that steadily flowed into Brendel’s body. As he looked at the ruined battlefield, he sat down weakly on a boulder.
[That was a Level 22 monster. Even if I add in my militia and commoner level, I’m only level 6. Crossing a difference of 14 levels, even I’m back in my world playing the game, I wouldn’t do something as crazy as this.]
He would not have done this if he had the chance. His original plan was to lure that monster to the area below the boulder, wait till Freya was done with her task, until she was able come over to fight together and find a chance to escape. Yet this chance was almost non-existent, and very few people in the game would attempt something like this.
He did not feel that it was a big deal when he decided to go ahead with this plan, but now that the battle was over and he had the time to reflect on it, his back was drenched in cold sweat. He used his utmost effort to calmly reply some of the girls’ questions in order not to make them worry, but he knew clearly what sort of situation it really was.
He stopped thinking about it after a while as he had to plan out his way into the Forbidden Garden. If he went straight to it, he was able to save two hours, and he planned to seek out another Elite Rotten Beast.
He stood up and patted Freya’s shoulders. She was glaring at him.
[Alright, we rested enough, let’s move on.]
Unfortunately, his action that was well-intended, because Freya subconsciously stepped back, patted onto a very bad place, The feedback from his touch felt nice, even through the golden scaled armor there was a soft and elastic feel to it.
The atmosphere turned in an instant.
Brendel watched as the future Goddess of War turned scarlet, then turned white and finally dark. He wanted to explain himself, but a sword swung mercilessly at him.
“Shameless lout!”
“Wait, I didn’t mean to do that, gahhh!”
