Hakai no Miko

"Hey! Mr. Nahl didn't have it?!"

And he came running back to the rock where he was camping. And Kisa caught the girls that remained on the spot, and said, When the girls screamed small and retreated to Xa, who stuffed them with intense excitement, they sat down to cover each other.

But even though the girls are frightened, Xa explains the shape and size of what she is looking for by gesturing.

"Mr. Nahl is that deceased dwarf, but a tiny bottle about this on his hip! I must have had it because it was so sturdy and I was trying never to lose it!

Nina, one of the girls who had an idea for it, pointed to the side of the burning fire with her trembling fingertips. Having done her eyes there, Xa immediately finds what she wants and shouts her joy.

"There it is!

It was a pottery vial about the size of a single hand ride.

When Xa picks it up, she first unties (about) the string that had tied the vial's mouth tightly, and pulls the wooden plug that appeared from under it. When the wooden plug falls out along with a pompous, creepy sound, a unique odor drifts out of the vial.

"All right! All right! All I need is, uh... yeah, box!!"

Quickly looking around to find Nahl's back sac, Xa jumped like a hungry tiger with meat in front of her. At first, he stuck his hand in his back sac and fished in with the gutter, but he didn't see what he was looking for, or suddenly he flips his back sac and punches everything in it all over the ground.

"There it is, there it is!!"

From the tools rolled on the ground, Xa grabbed a box small enough to hold it on the side made of smooth leather. When I opened the lid of the box, I first smashed the contents to the ground, just like my back sac. Then, while observing the empty box, he talks to himself.

"The size looks good. Is it easy to process because it's not that thick?

To its appearance, the girls become even more frightened, as even the creepy monsters have seen in front of them.

There Erica came back late.

"Hey, Xa! What did you do to everyone?!"

Aerica, who sees a girl frightened by Xa, hangs herself by hanging herself, eating on Xa. But with his eyes dropped on the box in his hand, Xa jumped Erica's strangulation softly.

"I don't have time for that."

If you look like a faint Kisa, I was just wondering if you would excuse yourself for sure, Erica lost much of her surprise words.

"More than that, I'd like you all to help me out,"

That's what I said, Kisa, but it seems like all the Aerikas that are hardened by surprise, the girls are too scared to speak up. Besides, when Kisa stops observing the box and looks up, she turns back to the girls. Even then, Xa appealed in a chewy tone to the girls who trembled.

"You can be afraid of me, just listen to me."

The girls don't even reply, but they still didn't try to escape, and they were just going to listen to me. Confirming that, Xa tells me clearly.

"Erica is going to leave you with me and go to the bandits alone."

To the word, the girls show intense agitation and gaze at Erica to make sure it's true and false.

If Aerika's decision had already been heard, the girls would have rebelled or mourned against Aerika. What didn't happen was that Xa's prediction that perhaps Erica would keep her mouth shut to the girls was in the middle.

Aerica, exposed to the decisions she had hidden, showers her anger at Kisa from the upset.

"Xa! Don't say anything extra!

"But I don't like that."

But Xa ignores Erica's anger and speaks to the girls.

"If you're going to the city, I'll take you all! You're not the only ones. Erica and the people who are caught now are with us."

In the words, the fright fades from the faces of the girls, and instead puzzles and expectations come to mind.

"But I need your help with that! That's why I need your help!

Besides, Erica was in a hurry.

What Xa says is ideal. But it's an ideal like a mirage that can never be reached. I didn't give up from the beginning with Erica. No matter how much I thought about it, it was a decision I made because there was no way to get my sisters out of those bandits.

Yet Erica even remembered her anger at Xa for saying she would help everyone cheaply.

"Shut up! You're taking these kids to the city! That's all I need!

Xa also said it head-on against Erica, who reveals such anger.

"Then give me three days! There are three days of respite for the bandits, right?! See if I can really get rid of the bandits in those three days!

But Erica laughed with her nose.

"Ha! What can you do in just three days?!"

"Wouldn't you know if you didn't try?!"

"Do it yourself! We're not cooperating!

We don't give each other a step, we stick our noses together and the two stare at each other.

"Hey......"

It was one of the elf girls who had been silently listening to the two arguments until then who spoke from such a cross between the two sides.

"What do we do...?

On the girl's words, a delightful colour floats on Xa's face. Conversely, Erica was in a hurry on her face and scolded the girl.

"Nina! Don't be silly!

The girl, called Nina, shrinks her body to Aerica's reprimand, but the girl beside her speaks up on her behalf.

"But sister Erica. Me, too, it's better for everyone to help."

"Paula Momo!

Aerica is shocked when she turns to Xa's side, not just Nina, but even Paula.

But as the third girl, Irza, pushes the other two forward, a much brighter look appears on Erica's face. Because if Ilsa suggested killing Kisa, who had just woken up, she would expect the other two to be stopped.

"Tell me quickly. What are we supposed to do?

But what jumped out of Irza's mouth was the exact opposite of Erica's expectations.

"Even Ilza!!"

In the unexpected treason of the girls, Erica is about to tear eyes.

With such Erica on her ass, Xa gives the girls one instruction after another.

"Then you want me to gather the branches with the leaves on them."

Nina, who was anxious to see what kind of difficulty she would ask for, would clap herself out and make a decent face.

"Branches?

That's what Nina asks, tilting her neck small enough to look childish. Besides, Xa answered with an unexpected grin.

"Yes, a thin branch with as many leaves as possible is good"

"Yeah. Okay!

When Xa was dropping off Nina, who ran out to say so, she was now staring at this one with full anticipation of what Paula would be asked to do.

"You, gather the tweezers. When I collect it, I want you to stone it and soften it."

"That's a good one. I'll collect them all!

Paula also makes footsteps and runs away to gather the bamboo.

At the end of the day, Ilsa was stunned to death as if she were going to be challenged by Xa. She looks angry, but just now she said she'd cooperate, so Xa says she's terrified while she peeps (or whatever) at the girl's complexion.

"You wash your fur in the river... may I have it?

Against Ilsa, whose eyes get more and more dazzling with every word, Xa's words make her voice smaller on her butt stump from the middle of nowhere, and at the end of the day, somehow become a tribute. Xa was anxious not to know what was pissing her off, but Ilsa snorted (groaning) forcefully when she finished listening and showed it.

"Okay! You should come wash your fur!

Apparently, she wasn't angry, she was listening seriously to me as she was.

At the same time that Xa is horrified, she hastily pulls on Irza, who was trying to grab her fur and run out.

"I want you to paint something like this on the bank of the river where you finally picked me up."

That's what I said. Staring at the odd picture that Xa painted on the ground, Irza says.

"What is this? Flowers or four leaves?"

"If anyone sees it, they'll know it from me."

On his own flat, Ilza practiced drawing his mark several times before this time grabbing his fur and running to the river.

Confirming that Irza's posterior disappeared across the bush, Xa turned to Erica and said, "What do we do?," he asked with a gaze.

"You can help me now, too!

With that said, Erica regrets stepping on the group Tai.

"But three days! Show us what you're up to in three days! If you're not convinced, you'll follow my lead!

"Yeah. Okay."

Behind Erica's back, Xa responds with a smile.

"Well, I'm just sorry, can you make a hole in this box?

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

When Ilza, who was going to wash his fur to the river, returned, Erica was making rope with Nina and Paula, who had already returned earlier.

Firstly, beat with stone the bamboo brought by Paula to soften it. Thus, the crushed and loose fiber is now broken vertically into thin pieces by Nina. Then, when Erica clutches several pieces of broken rice balls together and binds them together, she holds the other end (shaver) with her feet, and then rubs her hands together to form a rope.

"What are you gonna do with the rope?

When Ilsa inquired, Erica frowned blatantly as she plugged into the leafy branches that Nina had been collecting.

"It's refreshing for me. What do you use this for..."

Still, Aerica, whose roots are serious, keeps moving her hands without rest.

Irza looked around for a moment, but couldn't see the key xa.

"So, what about him?

"He's messing with the box over there"

What Erica showed by squeezing her jaw (chin) was just the shadow of a rock.

Irza said, "Box?" Asking Oum back, she leaned her little neck.

"Oh. You suddenly make a round hole next to the box, or you tell me to cut it off because the part that's out inside the box of leather cylinders you screwed in there is in the way. Damn it, tell him to do it himself."

So, you were angry about that time, there's a thorn in Erica's tone.

"Then what do you think he said? 'Cause I'm clumsy.'"

Indeed, from Irza's point of view, the human being who said xa smelled dull and did not look very clever. But that doesn't seem to be all Erica has to say.

"Can you believe it? You can't cut one string with a knife, and you can't scratch one in the box. It's not about clumsiness."

No way, Irza laughed, but Erica's face was the ultimate, serious one.

Just there, out of the shadow of a rock comes Xa with a difficult face. Erica was right, she had a leather box in her hand.

"Xa, I've been washing you!

When Ilsa offers fur where the water still drips off, Xa gleams her face, putting the box she had on the ground once to receive the fur.

"Thank you, thank you for your help."

As Xa spread the received fur over the ground, she began to smear the mud gathered there by hand. Irza, whose fur she had just washed with mud, slaps the back of Xa's head with that little fist.

"What are you doing!

Xa makes a hasty excuse to Ilza, who inflates her cheeks into bread to represent her anger.

"Originally, this is what I'm going to do. When I have fat, I play muddy water, so I have to wash it once..."

"Then say yes, quickly!

Some of the reason I was embarrassed to make an early point, and to Ilsa, who has shanked, Xa even tries to keep her head down and get in a good mood.

Aerica, who was watching the appearance, said it was pompous.

"Are we okay with relying on a guy like that...?

Nina and Paula, who heard that, also had to return a bitter laugh.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

noon the day after that.

Kisa's neck, which was rowing the boat with her muddy fur on her knees, accidentally fell. Awakened by that shock, Xa, when she blinked her eyes violently (if only), speeds up the task of passing strings made of strings through holes in her fur (like ice picks) in a thousand pieces, so as to appeal to her surroundings that she had not slept.

"You look a lot sleepy."

However, sarcastically by Aerica, who was watching the whole thing, Xa dyed her cheeks red with shame.

"I'm a little sleepless."

That was Xa excusing herself, but Erica was realizing she wasn't "a little" around.

Yesterday, Erica and the others interrupted the work at sundown, but Xa said she had something to do and continued working alone in a remote location. Moreover, even when Aerica woke up early in the morning before the sun still rose, she heard faint noises, so perhaps Xa continued her work without a single night's sleep.

"You can't do better than I thought..."

He was a blurry xa on the yawning crossing, but soon realizes his rudeness and excuses himself.

"But just a little bit more, so it's okay!

Erica had a provocative grin toward Xa as she rested her hand, which had been painted black with charcoal left over from the burning of a short chopped crossbow arrow.

"Don't expect me to."

Aerica's soul gall to deliberately piss her off and make her give up was clear, but still, Xa was muddled by some grumpiness coming from lack of sleep.

"It's okay! By the end of the night, I'll make it right!

But that's what I tried to say, Kisa, who was messing with the box all by herself even after the night and the Ericas went to sleep, but it still doesn't work.

"Damn! No! I knew it wasn't enough..."

It's already way past midnight. In a few hours, the sun will begin to rise from the eastern sky.

That's why it's not working.

The thought of whether it was still impossible comes to a boil with jitters.

"No, no, no, no! Don't be weak here, you can't!

Xa shook her head so hard that she shook off such a weakness, but her head cracked with too much force.

"Let's calm down a little..."

Once he put in a small pause and thought of cooling his head, Xa walked out of the shadow of the rock to the incendiary fire where Aerica and the others were sleeping.

It is then.

What sparkled in the wake of the incendiary lights appeared in a corner of Xa's vision.

"Is that...?

When Xa rushed over, it was a large helmet placed over Nahl's grave.

When Xa took the big helmet, she flipped over and peered inside. The interior was packed with a cushioned alternative cloth, but when it was removed, the metal plate appeared on its face. When the sleeve stretched to the wrist was brushed instead of a cloth towel, the metal plate was slightly distorted but shiny enough to show the face.

"Isn't this something you can use?

Xa stuck a box of leather into the neck area of her helmet. Then, just the helmet was the size of a box that would fit perfectly.

"Somewhat, it's a rash, but if I pack the cloth, I think I can fix it"

When Xa held the helmet and the box aside, respectively, she rushed to the roots of the rock where Aerica and the others were sleeping.

"Wake up, Erica! I need a favor!

Xa speaks out as she shakes Aerica's shoulder violently as she slept wearing fur by the burning fire.

"What the hell? Even though the sun hasn't risen yet..."

Aerica, beaten up by Xa, says in a grumpy voice as she rubs her sights against the back of her hand. The girls who slept nearby also wake up with something.

"I want you to cut this side of the box."

To the sleepy-eyed Erica, Xa pointed to the opposite side of where the hole had been holed out earlier.

"Now you're going to break the box?

Xa hesitated at Aerika's words. Once cut, it can't be undone, even if it was a failure. Sometimes, as Erica says, it can break as a result.

But Xa bet on her own thoughts.

"Yeah! Do it"

As Erica cut the sides of the box with a knife as she bit the yawn to death, Xa said, "Thanks!" and take the box back to the place where he was working.

"Please, make it work."

When you can push the box into your helmet, tuck the cloth into the gap and secure it so it doesn't move. Unexpected luck with the helmet visor, which was movable, acting as a lid.

After setting everything up, Xa closed it feeling like praying for a visor with a helmet.

And with that achievement in sight, Xa accidentally kneels on the spot and now offers her thanks to the late Dwarf, who was the owner of all the tools.

"Thank you! Mr. Nahl"

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Guys, come here for a second!

When Erica and the girls, who were about to go back to sleep, finally called out to utter, Kisa's loud voice sounded again.

"Now what the hell?!"

Erica interrupts her sleep twice because of it, questioning Xa in a sinister tone. But Xa was in an exciting tone without going badly, freshly screwed all at once.

"I could do it! I finally did it! Look at that right now!

"... what?

"A secret weapon! Get rid of the bandits, secret weapon! You can use this to surprise the burglars and get rid of them!

Erica sighs one loud sigh when she thinks this is useless to say anything to Xa, who makes her eyes shine with joy as if she were a child.

Aside from the rising morning sun, the eastern sky is not even white yet. Still, I wanted to yell at him that he was insane, even the chickenmost (most dori) would be asleep, but because I know that Xa was working hard for us, it didn't work, and Erica shows a compromise.

"Not since morning, can't you?

"It has to be now!

Immediately, Xa affirmed.

Aerica stands reluctantly, who has only been dating for a few days but was reminded that it is useless to say anything to Kisa that happened. And still take the sleepy-eyed girls and follow them after Xa.

When the rock came to the point where it stood like a wall, Xa began to prepare somehow with the helmet she had on her side at her feet.

"So, when you say secret weapon, where is it?

The only thing there is a helmet with a box that Xa brought into it, and I don't see anything weapon-like.

"It's a pleasure to see."

So, Kisa came up with the look of an evil kid who came up with some hell of a prank.

"That's right! Do you want to come up with another idea? - Hey, you got a knife?

"Oh, for when you attacked me, don't let go."

Aerica tells him to provoke, but Xa openly replies, "It's not supposed to strike."

"Besides, could you cut my fingertips a little with a knife?

"Let's not say fingertips, but even cut your neck?

I was assured that I wouldn't attack him, and I wondered why Aerika was so handicapped that she said something sword-soaked, and Xa said, "Just your fingertips!" and I sweated cold.

Squeezing her lightly damaged fingertips with Aerika's knife and bloodied like balls, Xa takes something out of her helmet and starts working with Gossogoso. After a while I put what I took out back into my helmet again, I was nodding (nodding) several times to convince myself.

To Kisa like that, Erica pushes caution.

"Hey! Don't forget your promise, Xa. I don't know what you're trying to do, but if you can't surprise us, you're gonna do what I say."

Plus, I'll tell the girls.

Don't bother to surprise me, either.

I want to rescue my sisters. Not really, stabbing nails at girls who might try to help Kisa by pretending to be surprised.

And Erica herself was tempted to never surprise herself.

Then put out the fire a little bit.

Saying so, Xa shook the stick of the burning tree that she had brought instead of Matsuaki, extinguishing its fire. Then only a faint moonlight illuminates the surrounding area.

"Hey, Xa! I don't know what to show you, but then it's dark and it doesn't look good..."

Aerica's words, complaining about Xa, stop perfectly along the way.

And the next moment, the screams of the girls tearing silk apart echoed.

"God of the wind! God of the wind! Please help! Please help!

As the aericans paled their faces verbally offered apologies and prayers to the god of the wind, that's what jumped out of the shadow of the rock so they could roll.

I was in such a hurry that when one of them pulls his leg, all four fall in the form of being caught up in it. The four hit their bodies when they fell, moaning (groaning) at the pain for a while, but jumping up to the footsteps of someone coming after them. And when we all pulled our bodies together, they rattled and trembled.

"How are you? Surprised?

It was Kisa who came after the Aerikas.

But knowing it's Xa doesn't stop the fear and confusion of the Aerikas.

"Oh, oh, are you God's use? Or are you a wizard?!"

To Erica's words, Xa shook her neck sideways with a bitter smile of "outrageous".

"I'm just a weak person who knows something strange."
