Hitsugi no Maou

Sixteen Stories: Rock Shelf Swordfish

Strand (string), stretched with Straw's signs, the belongings of the vanquished bandits, was indeed linked to Sabitoga's bark string signs.

In the unlikely event that a burglar survives, the bark strings are retrieved while following. It was careless to abandon the hanging trap, but the danger of being followed by the enemy was not allowed to pass away.

As you walk through the bark strings wrapped around your fingers, the fallen leaf trench (Zanjo) eventually enters your sight. The look on the face of the blue armored man carried by Sabitoga is hard against the relieved Sabitoga and Straw.

Sabitoga considered it inexorable, but Stolo was different. He found the man with blue armor with Kakashi's face lowered in one hand.

"Hey, hey. Why don't you stop that stinky smell? Thank you for your life. Better love won't hit the bees."

……

"I heard you." Someone, someone "a big man cried. The armor (good) and sword that you want are all over you. Pathetic."

A man must have lifted his eyes and looked back at Straw. But before he opens his mouth, Sabitoga shouts "Let it go" to Straw.

"I was attacked by a bunch of bandits. Nobody messes up, and it's not a mistake to ask for help. I'm not accusing you of anything."

"You know, buddy. Even if I was a girl with nothing but sewn needles, I wouldn't tell you. But take a look. I fell with this perfect sword in my sheath. It means you have a weapon, but you didn't even try to fight it. I hate that kind of thing."

"... It's a Ledge"

Straw flaunts the blue-armed man who said blush.

"Is that you?

"It's a ledge, I said. My name is Ledge Swallow. It means' swordfish flying on rock shelves'. That's the name my mother gave me three days and three nights worried about growing up on a kid with that strength, who rips headwinds and moves on even in harsh environments. So stop calling me 'this guy' or 'that guy'. It's an insult to my namesake parents."

When the frowning straw returns him to throw up, "Is that what you found out," the man, Reggie, keeps his voice up and going further.

"I really appreciate you guys saving my life. A heartfelt thank you. But there's only one thing that doesn't go wrong with the name. When I was a kid, when I first met him, he pointed at me and said," Who is this guy? 'I've stuck a cobble in the mouth of a soaked classmate and wandered around until I bled. Parents and school teachers scolded me perfectly (and only) and now I really reflect, but I hate that much anyway. It's called "This Guy."

Call me by name. [M] Whether it's "you" or "you". But don't just "this guy" and "that guy."

Straw and Sabitoga look at each other as their tongues suddenly turned to look like a ledge.

Reggie pressed his temples, then mumbled and made a slight noise. If you look at it, you are squeaking your swollen face further, dripping tears and runny nose.

"But even a name I cared so much about might not be worthy of naming me right now. swordfish ripping headwinds......? Actually, I was like a muddy cuckoo. You know what? Cuckoo doesn't lay eggs in his nest, he's a bird who lays eggs on the nest of an approximate bird and runs away on his own. And he gets annoyed by the Lord of the nest with his uneaten face, and asks him to carry the bait until he grows up. He's a cowardly bird who can escape the battle of survival competition and survive on the power of others. No... I guess" other birds "instead of" others "..."

"Hey, you okay? What's" other birds "? I thought you hit him in the head."

To Straw's words, Reggie finally groaned, "It's not okay. Hey." with tears on Sabitoga's back.

"You're absolutely right. When those bandits showed up, I stood still without pulling my sword. I heard dozens of adventurers and explorers visit the Island of Demons every year. That's why I thought all the people on the island were collaborators, fellows. Yet... those guys, all of a sudden, they were slashed by the mutiny and dropped her neck!

Muti. Sabitoga sees the name in a pendant worn by one of the bandits.

Reggie shrugged his blonde hair like the tail of a famous horse and continued.

"Kennel, Albert and Therese were both hit. I should have fought, but when I found out, I was running away. I should have fought my fellow men's revenge, but my heart was swept away by fear over anger. I'm a coward. It's a cowardly cuckoo. He asked others for help and saved him without fighting himself. I...!

"... the emotions that were paralyzed by fear, you're back. My mind finally realized I had come out of the crisis."

You can cry now. That's right. Let's cover his face with Sabitoga's back. To Ledge, Straw let his gaze wander with his shiny face. He turned to you. "I don't know anything about his people," Sabitoga steps into the trenches of the fallen leaves, also placing her hands on his shoulders, resentfully saying.

I don't know when Stolo left this place, but there were still signs of fire behind the trenches. Sabitoga, relieved not to have to start the extinguished fire again, walked the trench with the other two, bent the corner, and eventually put the burning fire into its sight.

- Leave the dead minister alone.

My leg stops in the voice I'm being called.

At the end of Sabitoga's gaze, which rounded her eyes, the girl twisted the branches of the buna into a flame that burned with momentum, making a crisp noise and leaning her neck as she lit up the dry, bloody creepy face and hemp clothes in orange (daisy) color.

"'The people of the birth canal' will guide Omae. Spears -"

The girl's mouth swelled and her little teeth touched the night air, like bones peeking from the wound.
