"Ah, it's a beautiful morning, isn't it?"

A brown-haired woman dressed in leather and light armor was talking a casual stroll through a thick forest.

"Yeah… beautiful."

In front of her, there was a brown-haired man in similar clothing. He was crouched down inspecting a dead rabbit. "Be on the lookout. There's probably a magic beast nearby."

"A big one?"

"No, a smaller one. But still, we can't be careless." He stood up.

The woman put a hand on his shoulder. "It'll be fine, because I have you to protect me right?"

"O-Of course! A mere E-Rank magic beast is nothing!"

She chuckled. "Ah, honey, you're so strong!"

"Why do I feel like I'm being teased…?"

"Wah!! Wah!! Wah!!"

The cries of a baby echoed through the forest, causing birds to fly up out of their nests, disturbed.

"What was that?!" The man exclaimed. He held his arm out to protect his wife.

"It sounds like… a baby…"

"I don't buy it. It could be a magic beast that can impersonate human behavior."

"Wah!! Wah!! Wah!!"
