Hakai no Miko

"Mi, everyone?

To Aerica, who hears back half blindly, Xa unequivocally affirmed.

"Of course, so are your sisters who are being caught!

"But how?

Now listen back with pale expectations. I'm not saying Aerika and I like it and throw myself at the bandits. If it is to come true, we all want to go to the city of Bornis, including the sisters who are being caught.

But Xa's response wasn't what Erica expected.

"Think about that now!

"Huh?"

Erica just turned back on what she thought was so irresponsible that she leaked a distracted voice.

But Xa begins to ask herself, without even caring about Aerika like that.

"Come on, how do we help the elf women who are being caught?

The easiest thing to do is get people who would come searching for their shipwrecked selves to help. How vicious the bandits would be if we could get everyone's help, not the numbers of things.

But the question is when is everybody coming?

It will take a day or two for the news of your shipwreck to reach the city of Bornis from those who accompanied you until just before your shipwreck. Perhaps tonight or tomorrow or so it will tell you that I have been wrecked, and then it should finally be a fuss.

When I thought that far, I thought of the face of someone who must be at the heart of that fuss, and a cold sweat flowed down Xa's spine.

"... Shit. You're pissed off because you came out silently."

From the face of Xa, who imagined her furious with her whole body hair upside down, she makes a noise and her blood draws. Considering how to tamper with her when that happened, Xa felt more desperate than fighting the bandits.

But soon I shake my head to the left and right and now I concentrate my consciousness on how to rescue the elf women from the bandits.

Anyway, if you tell them you've been shipwrecked, everyone should be sending out a search party soon. At least if she knows herself well, whatever it is to help herself or tighten it up, she must also take what she takes and fly in for now.

But no matter how quickly you rush, it takes another day or two from the city. In other words, the calculation is that it will be three or four days from today for the search party to come around here. Then I doubt if we'll make it to the due date the bandits told us.

"Besides, it's also a question of how to get in touch with everyone."

If we move our troops flashly in this area, which borders the area of power of the Holmeer State across the river, we will unnecessarily stimulate the Holmeer State. For this reason, the search party really has to be small. Now, in the current situation where we have to search extensively to find ourselves flushed by the river, how can we say that we are all so elite that we will not make it easy (easy) to circle?

Still, if I take the time, I can get in touch, but I can't afford that pivotal time.

Perhaps the bandits' deadline of three days for the Aerikas was also to prevent them from going somewhere for help.

Xa touched the collar of her clothes. Then I can feel a number of stiff feelings about the size of a coin in my collar.

It is a pill of wolf smoke (curd) sewn into the collar of a garment for an emergency. If you throw this into the fire, the colored smoke can be raised.

If you raise the wolf smoke in anticipation of when the search party came this close, they should rush right at you.

But at the same time, the bandits will find wolf smoke.

Even if you don't think that's the werewolf smoke raised by the elf who escaped, you should guess as much as someone is trying to get in touch with someone.

The bandits are cautious people who have escaped the hands of captivity many times before. We don't imitate being stubborn and risky in catching the elf children, and we're likely to take only the elf women and run away.

If not, those who would be looking for themselves should deliberately come to prominence to make it easier to find them here as well. If such an armed and conspicuous group comes, the bandits are set to flee without one or two. So if you've been crossed by the river, you can no longer help yourself.

Kisa was determined that we still had to do it on our own now.

"Think, think! First of all, what is our power?!"

Suddenly to Xa, who shouted, Erica looked out for her and was surprised. But she doesn't even look at me like that, and Xa immerses herself in her thoughts.

"Our only weapon is one crossbow!

Just one crossbow, how do we fight?

Xa asks herself.

"How about a sniper?

Snipe with a crossbow from a place where the enemy can't see you.

Fortunately, Dwarf, your handmade crossbow is impeccable in precision and power. Besides, it's an elf known as a bow celebrity, not to mention a girl who uses it. Both weapons and users have enough power to accomplish.

But I immediately denied it.

"No, it's not that simple"

If he finds out his people have been shot, the bandits quickly realize that the elves who fled have come to take back their people. So, if they shield the women in captivity and threaten to come out, Erica will have to follow the bandits.

In order not to do so, we can either secure ourselves as hostages first, or we can defeat all the muggers before this raid is noticed.

"I can't help the hostages, I'm in trouble, so I can't keep them safe from the start, and I can't help all of them without that many burglars noticing."

Xa shakes her head with Gashigashi.

"If you're going to be noticed anyway, why don't you surprise me the other way around? So if we confuse it, we'll delude the raid over here, and if it works, we might not have to fight it?

Xa touched the pills of wolf smoke again.

Throw this into the fire and you're going to get tons of red smoke. So, can't you surprise the burglars?

But I also deny it immediately.

"No. To that extent, surprise doesn't panic. It's creepy enough at best."

To surprise me enough to throw down the treasure called Elf that I got because of it and get away with it, it has to be more like pulling out the wildlings' liver.

Even the wildlings are like fear.

But there's something like that?

Xa tells herself to stand up with her heart that is about to crumble.

"Think, think! Anything? What would surprise the bandits?!"

But no matter how much I twist my head, I can't think of anything like that. In time, my brain was about to boil up due to the heat of wisdom, and my head began to snap.

Erica smiles small and bitterly at the appearance of such a xa. I'm glad you're desperate to think for yourself, but she also knew well that the status quo wasn't that sweet.

"You don't have to worry so much. As long as God doesn't show up anymore, I know exactly what I can't do."

That is the word that I said when I saw the agonizing xa.

But you didn't think Aerika herself would tell you to give up, and Xa suddenly loses herself.

When Erica was becoming more and more worried about Xa, who had stopped moving as she was, Xa's lips finally moved and leaked her pompous words.

"... unless even God shows up?

Aerica replies with a tilt in her neck asking if she had said something so weird.

"Ah, oh. That's how desperate it is..."

It's supposed to be a commonly used rhetoric, but where Xa lives, Erica wondered if she wouldn't say so.

But whether he was listening to that Aerica or not, Xa muttered like she was talking to herself.

"With that said, is Elf's god of the wind a big tree?

Erica frowned even though she came all the way to interrogate what even a child might know, such as what the Seven Pillars God looked like.

"I don't look like a tree. The tree is more in the form of a god of the wind."

It doesn't seem like a big deal about which is similar or anything, but it's still something we can't give way to when it comes to the God we worship.

"God appears to help... God appears..."

It was Xa who repeatedly whined in her mouth about the same thing for a while, but in those eyes where the point of view was uncertain and void (depression), there was an unintentionally strong glow of will.

"That's right!

Xa started checking her belongings again as she raised one voice.

Every thing in his hand is completely irrelevant. But they were trying to shape one picture, like jigsaw puzzles behind Xa's brain.

"Can you do this...? This and this...... Yeah, but no. That's... No, wait. With that said, Mr. Nahl..."

One missing piece after another is buried and finally becomes a single painting.

"So, can you? We should be able to! No! I'm sure, I can!

Saying away as if to tell herself, Xa suddenly ran out when she returned her heel on the spot.

"Hurry up, let's go back! There's something I need to check!

Aerica was overwhelmed by Xa, who tried to roll and ran out the slopes of the mountain, but rushed to stop Xa when she returned to me all the time.

"Hey, idiot! Not that way! Different direction!
