Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?

"You"

"I'm sorry. My lack of strength."

"No. You've done all you can for us"

My mother hugs me gently so as to support my dripping father.

"Sophia, at least I wanted to stay by your side until I was an adult. Forgive my impudent father."

My father lifts me up gently.

This may be the first time my father has ever held me for as long as I can remember.

But my father's affection was well conveyed.

I get a mouthful from my mother while my father holds me.

To be honest, the affection of parents and children was thin.

Because I really have memories of my previous life, the feeling of being a real parent and child was faint to me.

So I even felt backwards somewhere that you were loving me in this way.

But when I thought this was the last time, I regretted it the other way around.

I should have been sweeter.

As a child of these people yet, I have not been able to repay them one by one.

Because of my memory of my previous life, I think I had a rather unscrupulous attitude.

Had it been sweeter, these people might have been more aggressive with their children, too.

That way we could have been real parents and kids.

But that's too late.

"Melazophis, Neuria. After me, please."

"Yes."

"Yes."

To the voice of my father, Melazophyces and Neuria stretch their spines.

The two are dressed from their usual squire outfits to the kind of clothes that the average man and woman in the city would wear.

Multiply the confusion attacked by the enemy and ask the two of you to do the couple's part to get me away.

If you're just a city baby, I might be able to escape, too.

It was a bitter measure, put out by my hunted father.

There are no other humans left in the mansion.

Everyone's letting the crop hauliers get into it and evacuate it from the city.

But my mother and I really have eyes for tight surveillance.

The only way to escape was to ride the mess.

And I, the baby, anyway, had no chance for my mother, who was exposed and had a cracked face, to escape.

It's up to my luck if I can escape.

And my father and mother will not survive.

It was a lifetime goodbye.

What remains of the Mansion today is many old squire, determined to follow such fathers and mothers.

The young squire was driven far away by his father, without saying whether or not.

And they were the two who said Melazophis and Neuria would stay here until the end too.

That is also why I can say that you have been entrusted with the great role of missing me.

I think my father knew Melazophis admired my mother.

After I found out, I think I still trusted you.

Melazophis, having understood it, had served his father.

I've never been in love before, so I'm not sure how my father feels or how Melazophis feels.

However, there was a definite trust there.

"Lady, I will always protect you"

"Oh. I asked for it"

My mother and Neulia hugging me in tears.

In the hands of Melazophis, my father, who softly hands me over.

The hand was shaking faintly.

And I broke up with my parents.

Say goodbye that you will never meet again.

Sneaking out the back door of the mansion, by then the firehand had already risen from near the city entrance.

Slip well into the waves of escaping people.

Keep up with the flow of people and go outside the city.

But at the gate that leads out of the city, soldiers from the enemy countries already stood.

"It's coming out."

Melazophis pulls Neuria's hand and breaks people's flow forcefully and rushes into the alley.

So my sign sensing worked.

"Wait."

"Let them wait"

A figure who shows up in an alley at some point.

Behind the alley and in front of the alley.

Four stand in each of them.

Should this be seen as marked from the moment you left the mansion?

It was absolutely deadly.

But, hi. Something's wrong.

"Who are you people!?

"I have no in-laws to answer. Protect the baby."

"Aim is the baby! Defend him!"

The men in front and in the back of the alley rush towards us at the same time.

I'm not sure what's going on, but the four in front and the four in the back are people from another organization?

Still, we might be able to multiply this mess and get away with it.

Such pale expectations were crushed by the slaughter of Neulia by a man approaching from the back of the alley.

"Neuria!?

"Give me the baby!

A man on the other side takes an impending cut to Melazophis.

At the same time, it attracts the body of melazophis.

Melazophis uses the momentum to feed a man the opposite of his body.

Try to rush through the alley with the momentum as it is.

but its body was to fall into the alley.

Don't let me get crushed while I fall.

On the face of a horizontally fallen melazophis, a distressed look.

I peeked in, and there was a short knife poking deep into its back.

The battle of the mysterious men continues in the alley.

At its feet lies Noelia.

The overflowing blood and the vain eyes were telling the true story of her already running out.

Melazophis won't help either.

I get desperate with my young hand and pull out a short knife stabbed in the back of Melazophis.

Blood overflowing as soon as possible.

I'm not gonna die like this.

If Melazophis dies, it's my turn next.

How to reverse it from here.

Only one, possibly.

But if you do that, my life as a person is over.

Besides, I don't even know if I'll succeed.

I don't know if I can do anything about this place if I succeed.

See the melazophis that is dying now.

Seeing epic emotions in that eye, like cursing your powerlessness.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry"

A plundering voice.

I make up my mind.

On the collapsed man's neck, I stuck my fangs out.
