I was sucked in, but gradually the flash that wrapped me cleared up with the feeling of going out again.

"Huh, is this... forest?

"Um, same woods as earlier... but a little... no, things are changing"

The area was already dim. I thought it was a forest I had seen at a time, but when it was growing, trees and such looked different, so I felt that even if it was the same place, it wouldn't be the same era.

But what worries me more than that is this air.

"Huh... stay..."

Unexpectedly give in with a low voice.

Yes, the landscape isn't the only difference.

Obviously the air emitted from this forest is different.

Drifting is killing.

And I can tell, even if it's invisible, it's somehow.

From this forest, the darkness of the night is dispersed, and multiple signs are felt from around the corner.

'If only we could use Magical Radar at times like this... but that feeling isn't wrong. A lot of killers... and the rest... feel the nostalgic air'

Traina's mouth angle is sharply suspended.

It's as if you're even shaking a samurai...

"Hey... were you there?

Huh?!

"No, I'm not over here. I thought it glowed..."

I hear voices...... obviously the quality of voices is not robust.

I kill my breath and hide in the woods to see how it goes.

"What about the other intruders?

"There were ten of them, but it all ended"

Hey... Oh, come on...

'... calm down, child...'

I was surprised to hear it out loud by accident.

Because we have a conversation that is too flat to be "finished".

I also knew by instinct that that was not an analogy of some kind, but a direct "killed" meaning.

The Lord of this voice, and if this is all the killer or blood-smelling guy, Yall. Enough to make you think so.

"Child. Don't move your body... only move your head and eyes slowly... look at the Lord of your voice. Don't make a sound. Never speak up, either. I'm not a person. Demon soldier."

I stayed depressed and, as Trayna told me, moved my head only slightly with great care and turned my eyes to those who spoke.

Then there...

"So all you have to do is catch that kid who got away with being plucked by the 'General'"

"Don't be."

"But aren't you already on the run?

"Idiot. You said the general, too? He said he wasn't dead because of the way he blew it up. But it's not shallow enough to escape."

"Yes, I do."

"Don't blur. If we catch him now, we'll get a reward, right?

He wraps heavy armor around him and has a huge Axe... although he is bipedal, not human... of the giant...

'... rhino?

"Hehe... Rhinoceros..."

Definitely of the Demon Clan... and...

'There is no doubt about this armor. You're a soldier of the Demon King's army. "

"Huh!?

Why are there Demon King soldiers here? No, I don't even have to think about it.

'Apparently... it's part of the Empire's territory, at war with the Demon King's Army...'

"Oh, no..."

'Though, because it happened so many times... in which era...'

War. Many times before, textbooks and other words I've only heard in my father's and grown-ups' old stories.

I always called it a "story before I was born".

But that war...

'Oh, wait! War here!? So, what about the village? My aunt, my father, my mother!

I don't know how many years before where I was, or how many years from now the world is.

But if there's a war going on here, my...

"Calm down. Your aunt, Hiiro and Maam will be safe. Or is my grandmother still alive after the war?

'Oh, shit... Whatever was going on here, we're all safe...'

I was in an unexpected hurry, but Trayna was certainly right.

This is only the world of the past, and my fathers still live in the modern age.

Then no matter what happens...

"In the meantime, let's just clean up... the intruder... you know?

"Oh... yeah... you know?

Hmm? What? The tone of the rhinos' voices that were suddenly rough is a bit quiet...... ugh!? Eyes on each other -!?

"Boy, run! They're finding out!

"Shit!?

It is noticed. My whole body trembled, but I immediately woke up and jumped back.

"Whoa, whoa!... Shit..."

"Oh man, you're gonna have to finish it - in one shot.... so..."

Axe poking deep into where I was lying.

The shock cracked the soil and also blew up the bushes that were growing.

"Shit, isn't that the kid... was there an intruder yet... the Dogitaneer coalition..."

"You tried to sneak into our formation, too, and assassinate the General. What a sequoia, Allied cuss?

Eyes on each other, battle mode in an instant...... no, no. It's not a fight.

The air perceived by the two demons is not the same as the battle I've been through.

Don't take them down, maybe, just a war to kill them.

"Ma'am, even more downward when it comes to coalition forces... the" Kingdom of Betrayal "ones, etc., so the tachi is bad"

"I don't want to assassinate a general for wanting to be handy... and I'm scared of the idea of those bastards hitting a general with a kid like that, even though he's strong enough to make it the worst possible match."

"But that's it, too. I'll send Temeer to the people who killed him."

"Or if I tell you where that kid is hiding... can I keep him enough to take him prisoner?

Even so, these guys mistake me for a coalition? And the Kingdom of Betrayal?

'Perhaps he tried to assassinate the general of the unit he was forming here at night. But it fits the payback... I don't know if it was the Coalition's instructions or the arbitrariness, but it was the people of the Kingdom of Betrayal who executed it...'

And it looks like there are other survivors still out there, and I was mistaken for one of them... ahhh, dull...

Okay, what do we do?

These guys will be pretty strong.

Not to mention that my body might be getting a little stiff in this first-time feeling war mode air.

But it wouldn't even be at Yamidilee's or Parippi's feet, and it feels like I'm me now...

"... knock it down?

'No, I don't know how much of an impact that would have... and this place...'

"Okay."

Anyway, as long as I don't try anything extra than that this is the world of the past.

After discussing this with Trayna, I don't slap you out of this situation for nothing...

"Bye!"

"" Ahhh!!??

Turn around. Turn right and go straight to the back of the woods.

"Oh, wait, Temee!

"Hmm, assassination is an out-of-town thing, and if it fails, it's a tongzla? These cowards!

Ooh, I hear some tremendous cursing.

That rhino also dosnd his heavy body...... say!?

"Oh, wow. I don't care if it's an obstacle to Ogi or anything... I'm knocking it all down!

"That's the power of the Rhinoceros. The power created by a straight forward progression is faint."

"Heh... but after seeing Mr. Macho or Mr. Aka..."

'Don't be alarmed. Due to their dullness, the first starts slow, but as they advance, they accelerate. Let it go with magical pal cool'

"Rikai!

I could see the power of a soldier in the Demon King's Army during the war. This is quite a valuable experience.

"So, those two are the ones you know?

"I don't know. What size do you think the Demon King's Army was? '

"Ha, ha..."

'Besides, in times of war, territory is taken or taken back, and there's still more until when this is war... at least as long as we know the name of the general...'

In the meantime, if you don't know Trayna or something like that, I'm a little relieved.

In case... for example... if I confront the worst with a friend who was close to Traina or something like that...

"Hmm? Did you stay that way?!?

"Huh!?

At that time, someone noticed my presence coming at me from the other direction.

Demons. Plus, this one's dekee. Not a rhino...

"Covered in body hair...... monkey?

"Apes... no... and..."

"Pig nose......"

Third Demon Nation. He wraps his armor around it, just like the rhinos, and his exposed arms and head are covered in body hair, in the form of a distinctive nose.

And he moves skilfully over the tree at the mercy of that giant.

Quite fast.

"That's like a gorilla tribe and a half of an oak... and that way of traveling is called brachivation, which uses both hands to grab and move alternately branches, their unique mobility technique"

"Oh, well..."

'Be careful! Not just one. More around him...'

"Shh, hey, here comes Zorozolo!?

"Twenty."

There's no way we're just two people searching through these woods in the first place.

That's what surrounds us. The Demon King's Army's search force...

"Ukki!

"Ugh!

"Ha-ha-ha, I'm done!

Bad. There are so many different races that I can't go around looking at them all anymore.

For now, I just found out that the leading gorilla tribe and the half of the oak are demons that seem pretty nasty.

"Captain Piggoli!

"I'm a Confederate bastard! I haven't had that kid yet...... but!

I've got more demons, and the first thing I do is break through...

"No? Piggoli?... I'm sure its name is... but... ugh!? Hey, kid!

"Hmm?... ah..."

It was then.

When I was hopping over the trees and figuring out how to escape, I saw it.

"... uhh... uhh..."

of this night, not to mention in the woods where the demons wander, leaning against the trees, with such weak eyes that they still seem to close...

"Ko...... child?

"... this one!?

"Hey, why are you here!? And... and... and..."

The little girl who was there for some reason.

It wraps a superior robe that is "supposedly" based on white. But it's dyed red now.

Small and fine arms are also formed and a blue mole is formed up to the face.

Long straight brown hair. It's so painful that its forehead covers most of its face but still hasn't hidden out.

I fell and got hurt. That's not the level.

Obviously, someone beat me up, something that hurt me.

"... who?

The voice of a girl weak enough to seem to disappear.

I couldn't answer that question.

"Hey, kid! This girl is...... shh, shh, child! We're gonna get caught up! Get behind me. - '

Hey, all this time, Traina's words were out of my ear, and I was confused.

Because I've never been in a situation like this before.

It would be a little older than Amae, but such a little girl, with all these scratches.

Because I've never been in such a situation before, and it was too mundane, and I didn't have words.

Then...

"Hey, stop over there...... ugh! Ha ha, hey, it's that deckative tree place!

"There's that kid too! I found it!

With me stopping, I hear laughter from the demons who have gradually kept their distance...

"Let me take the trouble! You fools who plotted to assassinate our great general, Lady Gouda! One of the brave, though a child! No forgiveness! I got that neck!

... Yusha?

"... it's espi..."

"... Huh?

Again, I lost my word for a few seconds.

This kid's the Espi?

And that demon tribe, he also said some other familiar name...
