So I'm a sheep.

"Haha, a girl taking down three robbers, that's amazing!"

"Well, Lady Sasha, they are not real bandits, just peasants wielding wooden clubs."

"Look at you, being modest again."

The little girl said with a smile, "If I say you have potential, then you definitely have potential. Trust me, my judgment is never wrong."

"If you put it that way... does that mean that after twenty or thirty years of hard training, Aran could also become a powerful knight?"

"Twenty or thirty years? That's too long."

The little girl suddenly became interested: "You don't need to wait that long, I have a way to speed things up for you, Aran!"

"It's been pretty boring along the way, so let's do it."

Under Aran's astonished gaze, the little girl's pair of snow-white wings suddenly disappeared.

"Lady Sasha, your wings!"

"It's alright, it's alright, my wings haven't disappeared."

"I just want everyone to be unable to see my wings."

The little girl asked with a smile, "Aran, do you think that this will lead to a lot more bandits causing trouble for us?"

A little boy and a girl traveling together—they're exactly the kind of targets robbers love to rob!

"Lady Sasha, I don't think we'll have a peaceful journey ahead."

"but......"

Aran asked timidly, "You don't mean you want me to deal with those bandits, do you?"

"You got it right!"

Volume 1: Chapter 99 The Axe-Wielding Monster

"Village chief, two strange people came to the village today."

"Ok?"

The old man asked slowly, "What's so strange about it?"

"A little girl, she was extremely fat, as fat as a ball."

Hearing the villagers' words, the old man immediately laughed: "That is quite strange. Where is the other oddball?"

"The other strange person was a girl, but she carried a very large axe and a sword."

"..."

"Two women, one adult and one child?"

"yes"

"Take me to see it."

The village chief's expression turned serious. From the description, he knew that the two girls who had entered the village were not from the surrounding area.

The world is not peaceful these days. Weren't they robbed by bandits along the way?

Maybe I was really lucky, but if it wasn't luck...

The old man walked out with his cane, and led by the villagers, he soon found the two 'strange men'.

A chubby little girl, and a female knight?

The old man was somewhat surprised and uncertain. He had once served as a squire to a knight, and his judgment was far superior to that of ordinary people.

The girl with braided hair in front of him reminded him of the knight he had once served.

"Hello, strangers."

"I am the village chief of this village. Is there anything I can do for you?"

The old man's attitude startled the villager who was leading the way. He muttered to himself, "When did our village chief become so polite to outsiders?"

"Hello, sir."

The girl with braided pigtails didn't say anything, but the chubby little girl greeted her with a smile.

"I am Sasha, and she is Aran."

"We are both travelers, and we just happened to be passing through this village today. We wanted to find a place to rest."

Traveler... what does that mean?

The old man was about to ask for clarification, but when he looked at the smiling, chubby girl, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and affection.

"Sigh, it's not easy being away from home. I happen to have a spare room at my place, why don't you stay here?"

what! ?

The villager who brought the elderly man over stared wide-eyed. The village chief had actually invited a complete stranger he was meeting for the first time to stay in his house?

What happened next was even more unbelievable. After chatting with the chubby girl for a few minutes, the village chief actually kindly invited her to stay a few more days.

"Grandpa, I'm so sorry."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Seeing you is like seeing my own granddaughter!"

"Well, one night is fine, but we can't stay at your place for so long for free."

Sasha suggested, "I have a lot of vegetable and fruit seeds in my sack. How about I help your family plant some crops for a while?"

"You farm?"

The old man looked at Sasha with suspicion: "What are you, a little kid, doing farming?"

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a master at farming."

"Trust me, I won't let you down, grandpa."

"Oh well."

"If I give you a piece of my land, you'll..."

"Village chief, are you possessed?"

At this point, the villagers who were with the village chief finally couldn't hold back any longer.

“They are outsiders. It’s one thing to let them live in your own home, but how can you allocate land to outsiders of unknown origin?”

"What evil spirit? I think you're the one who's possessed!"

The old man picked up his cane and hit him on the head: "Am I the village chief or are you the village chief? Do you have to tell me what to do?"

"Hey, no... stop hitting me, stop hitting me."

..........................................................

"Ah, finally I have a bed to sleep in."

When they arrived at the house that the village chief's daughter-in-law had tidied up for them that evening, Aran said with a grateful expression.

"You've been through so much hardship these past few days, sleeping outdoors and braving the elements."

The little girl reached out and touched the wooden bed, wondering if it could support her weight.

Besides, it would be too crowded for me to sleep with Aran.

"Aran, you can sleep on the wooden bed."

"What about you?"

"Hehe, I sleep on an air bed."

The little girl floated up, lying horizontally in mid-air, and rolled around comfortably from side to side.

"Hmm, okay." Seeing this, the girl nodded.

"Aran, you didn't perform well this morning."

Not really feeling sleepy yet, Sasha started chatting with Aran.

"That bandit wasn't that strong, was he? How did you almost get hurt by him?"

"Lady Sasha, I'm not used to using a longsword yet."

"It feels so light, I can't feel it at all," Aran said with distress.

"If you're used to an axe, you'll naturally lose your feel for a sword. Speaking of which, why are you so obsessed with using a sword, Aran?"

The little girl felt it was quite strange. Ever since Aran had seized a perfectly intact longsword from a bandit, she had been acting as if she had found a treasure.

From then on, Aran never used an axe again, but instead used a longsword.

'If it were an axe, Aran would be even more formidable.'

"Lady Sasha, a knight must use a sword."

Aran said earnestly, "I want to become your guardian knight, Lady Sasha, so I can't keep embarrassing you with an axe."

"Why is using an axe shameful? Ran, you're just prejudiced against axes!"

The little girl advised, "I feel that you were much more skilled with an axe before, Aran. Why can't knights use axes? Who made that rule?"

"But......"

"Don't worry about it. If any knight dares to laugh at you in the future, just chop him down with your axe."

The little girl said slowly, "Strength is the most important thing. With strength, you can do anything."

"Even if you have the most beautiful sword in the world, if you don't have the strength, others will still beat you to a pulp."

........................................................

After some persuasion from Sasha, Aran finally came to her senses.

The next day, she went to the village blacksmith's shop to sell the sword she was carrying. After a moment of heartache, Aran felt incredibly relieved.

'Old buddy, I'm counting on you from now on.'

As Aran stroked her axe once more, a wave of emotion washed over her.

Composing herself, the girl hurriedly ran towards the field.
