The Adventure Story of the Devil, the Maid, and the Hero

In this world, there are many things like the question "which came first, the chicken or the egg", for which there is no standard answer.

If one day your dream becomes someone else's reality, how can you make sure that your reality is not just a dream?

She didn't know the answer.

Even though she had vaguely sensed something in the deepest part of her heart, she was still unwilling to admit that this was not a simple dream.

Escaping may not solve any problems, but going hard without preparation may only make things worse.

Therefore, it is okay to just regard this as a somewhat strange dream at present, right?At least in the dream, she was Fuono, and Fuono was her.

In a remote town near the border of Nofeyd, a girl named Fuono inspires her to become an adventurer.

She can neither hold a heavy long sword nor dance a heavy spear, nor does she have the precise shooting skills to accurately hit the target's vital points, nor the agility to shuttle between the enemy groups without a trace of damage, let alone being praised For the proud magical talent.

It can be seen from this that Fuono's degree of compatibility with the adventurer profession is basically zero, and the distance from her goal of achieving this goal can be said to be far away.

But the reality should be so, after all, she is just an ordinary person with no special talent, and there is only one difference from others.

Fuono has been troubled by one thing since she was a child.

I can't remember exactly when it happened again, but whenever her consciousness sank, there would always be another consciousness occupying her body and manipulating her actions, but she didn't have any memory of this period.

At the beginning, she didn't know about it, but when people around her repeatedly mentioned things that she didn't do but actually happened, she couldn't keep turning a blind eye.

It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid, but even though she had asked almost all the doctors, healers, mages, etc. in the town, she still had no solution, so she could only continue to pretend that nothing had happened.

But maybe because of the influence of her childhood sweetheart, Fuono is not the kind of person who "ignore things for now until they become serious".

The sentence I heard at the beginning, "Maybe it is the curse of the devil, after all, only Shilpasha, who is the 'source of evil', can do such a seemingly unsolvable thing." It lingered in my mind for a long time. Finally, on a certain day, she made a certain resolution.

Before that, she had never tried to communicate with the "other her" out of a certain self-defeating ostrich mentality.

This time, she mustered up the courage to leave a few words and make a request to her "other self" for the first time.

This may be the most impulsive and daring choice she has made in her life.

"If you can, I hope you can go to Shirpasha, Lord Demon King, he may know a way to solve this situation."

She couldn't muster up the courage to do such a thing, so leave it to her—the one who just treats all of this as a dream.

So, when Fuono woke up again, she found herself in a dense forest.

There was a vast expanse of white everywhere, and the trees and rocks a little further away seemed to be covered with a layer of veil, and with her unsteady eyesight, she could barely see a few meters away.

"I always feel... a little bit regretful."

No, not just a little, she regretted her impulsiveness very much now - especially after hearing the buzzing worms around her.

As a childhood sweetheart with a mild obsession with cleanliness, an ordinary person who has hardly been out of town since childhood, and has almost zero experience in field adventures, Fuono is very upset about the decision she made when she understood the current situation.

After all, she still sees all this as too simple and overestimates herself too much, but she doesn't know that "some things in this world are always easy to look but hard to do" is an eternal truth.

But now, there is no way to go back, let's not talk about the question of whether she knows the way back, since she has come to this point, she doesn't want to go back any more.

So, just keep going.

I don't know if it's because there are relatively few monsters around here or because of luck, but she didn't even encounter a single slime for a long time, so she went on for a while without incident.

In this way, the fear of unfamiliar environments faded a lot, so after stopping for a short rest on the way, Fuono only hesitated for a moment before choosing to move on.

"..."

Because she was concerned about the fog around her, she didn't move very fast, it could almost be said that she was moving forward slowly in small steps.

Therefore, when he saw a simple trap covered by branches suddenly appear on the relatively flat land in front of him, Fuono stopped almost immediately, and subconsciously clenched the dagger in his hand.

——This, is it a trap?

No, indeed, no matter how you look at it from any angle, this is undoubtedly a definite trap, as if it were fake.But the question is, is anyone really bored enough to set up a trap that can be seen as a trap at a glance?In other words, is this trap really as simple as it seems?

After hesitating for a moment, Fuono still chose to go around.After all, it always feels stupid to step into a trap when you see one.

And then, when she walked around the whole trap with a small sigh of relief - nothing happened.

— Well, it looks like the answer to the above two questions is yes.

After bypassing four or five traps in a row and nothing happened, the back of Fuono's head could not help but be covered with black threads.

There are really people who are so poor and bored that they set up such a simple trap, what kind of person would really fall into it.

She was distracted for a while, so when Fuono noticed a petite creature with dark gray fur and a slender tail suddenly appearing directly in front of her, her reaction was a moment later than usual.

"...Yeah! Yes, there is Lao Lao Lao Lao, mouse wow!"

After screaming, she closed her eyes and ran back without looking back, and then fell into the trap with a "plop".

Very good, just now she was still wondering who would fall into this kind of trap, it seems that this question has been answered again now, it is really far away and close at hand, and it takes no effort at all.

Fuono rubbed her legs that were a little sore from being scratched by the branches, and looked up - the trap wasn't dug particularly deep, but it definitely wasn't something she could go up in a short time with her own strength.

She should be thankful that there is no sharpened wooden stick inserted at the bottom of the trap, otherwise she would not only have a slight pain in her legs, but would worry about how to get up so easily.

Checking the contents of the backpack, it seems that there are no props that can immediately get rid of the current predicament, but the food and water can last for many days. Could it be that she has to be prepared to stay in this pit... no, the trap? ?

After thinking for a moment, she quickly made a decision: At this time, it's time to pass the baton.

After an unknown amount of time, a sense of dizziness hit her.

She closed her eyes obediently and prayed silently in her heart-"another me", I hope you can find a way to solve it.

So when "Fuono" woke up again, he found himself in a dark pit.

— Excuse me, what happened before?

Not only was she a little dumbfounded for the lack of a summary of the previous story, but after a moment of daze, she looked around the surrounding environment, picked up the branch at her feet and looked at it, and roughly understood the current situation and speculated on the cause of the situation in front of her.In a nutshell - she accidentally fell into the trap.

"..."

While she was speechless, she also had some very subtle sense of déjà vu in her heart. Thinking of this, she not only frowned but became thoughtful.

What is this feeling of deja vu... have you seen it before?

——"How to set up traps in the forest around the Demon King's Castle?"

It seemed that she had seen a question like this some time ago.

What was her answer at that time... It seemed to be "very simple. The first step: dig a big hole first; the second step: spread branches on the hole; OK, it's done!"

The other party seemed to ask, "How can a normal person fall into such a trap?" She replied confidently, "If you are not careful, you will fall."

I didn't expect that the person who accidentally fell down turned out to be her. Could this be called thinking every day and dreaming at night? ——Although the way this dream is realized is not very attractive.

From this point of view, she should be glad that the method of making the trap provided at the beginning did not include "inserting sharpened bamboo poles at the bottom of the trap"?

However, staying in the trap is not an option, someone should come and let her out, right?

Just as she was thinking this way, there seemed to be a faint sound of footsteps not far away.

……

When Giulia and her party found the slender girl trapped in the trap, all three of them were surprised after a little relief.

"Say it fell."

And even such a simple trap can't be caught, either it's really too weak or it's definitely a trap. ——by: Iluna

"...Someone will accidentally fall down."

How nervous is it, it doesn't look like an enemy. ——by: Hagilia

"It's a pity that it fell down here. In this way, there is no way to experiment with the formations behind."

...It is obviously a good opportunity, what a pity. ——by: Shirpa yarn

When she heard the last sentence, Fuono couldn't help feeling a little scared, and then said with a little hesitation:

"Well, can you let me out first?"

So after another busy day, the three of them returned to the previous courtyard to continue their unfinished afternoon tea, and a Fuono who was tied into a rice dumpling (by Iluna's method) was added to the side.

So far, this intrusion incident has been successfully resolved, gratifying to congratulate, gratifying to congratulate!

Fuono's Q&S Questions and Answers

Q: Why didn't you think of using stones to explore the way at that time?

S: Well, because the stone is too light, it is useless even if you throw it away, right?Besides, it will be even more troublesome if the mechanism is touched.

Q: So you just bypassed it rashly?

S (turning head): Yes, it's not rashness, it's—seeking victory in danger!

Q (Question): Seeking victory in danger?So in the end who carried it headlong into the trap?

S (look wandering): Ugh, that's right, will, it's the plan.

Q (sigh): Is it true that those who are close to ink are black? Even Miss Fuono, you have learned to quibble.

S (on the verge of crying): Yes, I'm sorry, Iluna said that it's okay to tell a little lie now and then...

Q: As expected, it was Ms. Fuono who sold out her teammate without hesitation.

S: Ah, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to.
