The 6th Story: The Troll’s Ambush
“Mare-san stop!” [Yoji]
I said for the peddlers to stop.
“Yoji, what is wrong?” [Mare]
Mare-san noticed that I am nervous when I screamed out loud.
“Please call Gal and the others. I need to consult something” [Yoji]
“I got it. I will get them soon. Wait a bit” [Mare]
Gal’s group of five is at the rearmost guarding the 3 merchant carriages, so my voice doesn’t reach them.
Mare-san runs to call them.
It took 10 minutes for them to reach the first carriage.
“Is there something wrong?” [Gal]
Gal and the others stay in silence to listen to me.
“There are 2 monsters with green skin, long arms, short legs; they are 3m tall and are carrying a club, they are 5km in front of us; I don’t know their name” [Yoji]

I said what I just saw to inform them.
“It is a troll” [Mil]
Mil answers at once.
“What are those?” [Yoji]
Naria answers my question
“They are Trolls of the Gallia species; they live in the forests and are usually quiet there. When fighting they use they club to bash or throw rocks. But… “ [Naria]
“But?” [Yoji]
“When they spot a person, they will persistently chase and eat” [Naria]
Naria says so.
What? Really!?
Is it a hungry demon…?
“Do they have a weak point?” [Yoji]
“They are weak on their foot compared to their arms, so if you run they won’t catch up. I don’t remember well, but I think you should be okay if you stay at their back” [Naria]
Naria explains a bit.
“Mare-san, can we wait some time for them to move?” [Yoji]
I turn my face to Mare-san and ask.
“I see. If we can prevent a fight with them, then let’s do that” [Mare]
I said so and we decide to wait for 3 hours and see if they move.
While I keep watch of the trolls, there are things I have been worried several times.
The first one goes behind a big rock, but because I am in top of the carriage I can still see them.

The other one is watching the sky while resting his back on a rock.
Somehow I can see that it has a rock grasped. [1]
“Hmm? Human’s foot? It is bad, they are eating a foot” [Yoji]
After 3 hours have pa.s.sed, they still show no sign of moving.
I decided to call everyone and tell them what I saw.
I told everyone what I saw during these 3 hours.
A different carriage was attacked.
A person was eaten.
The 2 trolls show no sign of moving.
They heard what I said and kept silent.
While they were being quiet, I decided to tell them my conjecture.
“I think they are probably waiting to ambush whoever pa.s.ses the highway” [Yoji]
After that, Naria said.
“I guess so. Maybe after they knew a perso

n’s flavor they wanted to get more and are waiting for people to come” [Naria]
Mill asks Mare-san
“Mare-san, can’t we evade the highway?” [Mill]
“Well, that is difficult. We would have to go through the Devil’s Forest to evade the highway, and there is a high probability that we will encounter worse monsters than this. Besides that, it is bad if we leave the trolls to attack other merchants” [Mare]
Everyone kept silent.

So I face Gal to tell him about my plan.
“I have a plan. I will shoot the one leaning on the rock in the eyes with my bow. Gal and Kia will provoke the other one lying down and we separate them. While they are separated, I will defeat one and after that we can join and defeat the other one” [Yoji] [2]
“Well, are you sure you can defeat one by yourself?” [Naria]
Naria asks with a startled expression.
“I think I can do it. I spotted their weak point when I was keeping watch of them” [Yoji]
“What is it?” [Kira]
Kira asks.
“It is about what Naria said a while ago, when I was watching them; I noticed their arm doesn’t reach their backs. I think that is the reason they are leaning on a rock or laying down” [Yoji]
“But, how do you stay at their back?”
Naria says.
“I will manage somehow with an arrow and a short sword” [Yoji]
“What about Kira, Naria and Mill?” [Mare]
Mare-san asks.
“The 3 of them will stay and guard the carriages. There is a possibility that something else comes and attacks” [Yoji]
The strategy was decided when I said so.
Then, subdual start!
