"Go away."

I hear voices.

I'll look around, but there's nobody but us.

"Ni, ni? Is anybody here?

"I don't see anyone... Could it be a ghost?

"Shit!? Oh, stop talking like that!

"Oh. Maybe Canade doesn't like that kind of talk? Even though you're a cat spirit clan?

"Because ghosts don't work the blow..."

"Both of you, be quiet"

I stood up for whatever happened.

Okay, what's coming out?

Tania's right. Are you a ghost?

Or...

"Go away."

With a third warning, particles of light flooded from the surrounding trees.

Regularly drifting through the universe, as one by one is willing.

Eventually, we gather in one place and take the shape of people.

……

When the light cleared, one girl showed herself.

He's short, and he's going to mistake me for a child, if you will.

Contrary to such an appearance, he has a Rin look, contradictory, but somewhere he looks grown up.

Flax colored hair was put together in flower decorations and looked great.

Above all, it's the... wings.

On the girl's back, two pairs of light feathers grow.

"... Spirit Clan..."

Tania crushed it, feeling incredible.

Spirit clan.

Alongside Canades and Tania, it's one of the most powerful species.

Unusual among them, the tree spirits...... it's dry adds.

A warm race, but tough on people.

Or I hate people.

For spiritual tribes that dwell on mountains, forests and nature, humans who pioneer mountains and fell trees are like natural enemies.

For that reason, they've collided many times.

And... the Spirit Clan disappeared.

He hated to relate to people and dived into depths beyond people's reach.

That was about 200 years ago.

No one has seen the Spirit Clan since.

And yet...... I can't believe we met here.

Not many words of surprise come out.

"Uh... hello"

"Go away."

"Why don't we talk for a second?

"Go away."

"I am, Rayne. These two, Canade and Tania. My people."

"Go away."

"I need a little help and I'm here... Is this junction made by you?

"Go away."

No.

I don't have an island to attach.

"If you don't want to leave..."

Spirit clan girls float.

Turn your hand flat over here and the light converges.

"Eliminate by Strength"

"Nha!?

"We're leaving once!

"Wow, okay!

We rushed back to the entrance.

――――――――――

"I'm not following you...?

Look behind the horror of Canade.

"Oh, I'm fine. There doesn't seem to be a pursuit or anything."

"What the hell is it? I can't believe you suddenly tried to attack me."

"I don't think Tania wants me to tell her that I suddenly tried to burn the woods."

"Did I say something?

"Nothing."

That's crazy, huh?

I haven't heard anything from Arios about the Spirit Clan coming out.

Were you lying, or were we stumbling into each other?

... No.

You shouldn't think of it as a coincidence.

The other person is a spiritual clan who hates people and disappeared 200 years ago.

He showed up before us, for a good reason.

The reason for this is still...

"The juncture...?

"Nha?

"How did that spiritual clan show up before us? Anyway, if it's just Canade and Tania, there's a human me. That's the strangest thing about it... because it's about to be lifted, so it fits."

"Well... when I was walking around the woods, I didn't show up at all, because as soon as I tried to break the line, I showed up. I think Rayne's right."

"So you're saying that spiritual girl is keeping the line, then? But doesn't that... indirectly, protect the demons in the deepest depths?

"That's right..."

Who's in trouble for being de-linked?

The answer is the demon that would be in the deepest depths.

To make his dwelling a robust fortress, he set the line.

On top of that, I let the Spirit clan preserve its boundaries.

That's a good idea, isn't it?

It's just that the story makes sense, so why did you do that? The question remains.

Sure, spirits hate humans, but that's why they're not the kind of species that cooperate with demons.

Demons trample nature without meaning and vandalize the trees.

In a way, spiritual clans are much more hostile to demons than humans.

So there is no way the Spirit Clan will cooperate with the demons.

"I wonder, has a deal been made... or are they holding a weak taste? Hmmm...... no. None of this is out of your imagination."

"I'm not good at thinking."

"Hey, good luck, you wasting cat"

"No cat!?

"I don't know what the sincerity is, but there seems to be no doubt that the Spirit Clan is part of the demon. Then why don't we just take him down? Rayne wouldn't be heartbroken if he was just powerless."

"Easy for you to say... they're that spiritual clan, aren't they?

"There are cat spirits and dragons here. Besides, it's not like I'm gonna lose."

Phew, with a face like that, Tania stretches her chest.

As always, great confidence.

He doesn't even think of himself as a loser, or a shard.

Well, I can tell you that sounds like Tania.

"Sure, if it's a fight, you might win... but no, I still can't. The power of the Spirit Clan is unknown. If you're a mess, you may not be hurt. You can't risk Canade and Tania."

"What the hell is that? So you don't trust my powers?

"No, I'm not. I'm purely worried."

"Oh yeah... he's worried about me... still, well. If that's all you have to say, I'll leave you with no hard work."

"Nah, I'll do what Rayne says."

"Thank you, both of you"

"But what do you do? You can't get to the bottom of this unless you do something about the Spirit Clan."

Tania is right.

If you don't convince the spiritual girl, you can't go back.

Some hands say they only destroy the junction by looking at the gap...

I'm going to buy anger, so I want to refrain if I can.

"Can you leave it to me?

"Do you have any ideas?

"No, not particularly"

"Nha?

"I'm going to discuss it again"

"It wasn't an atmosphere we could talk about, was it?

"I was suddenly surprised earlier, and I would have gotten myself into this one, wouldn't I? Now if you show no hostility and show your sincerity… or maybe a dialogue is possible"

"It's a popular opinion."

"No?

"Yeah. I don't hate that kind of thing."

"Sounds like Rain, doesn't it?"

Canade and Tania chuckled so that my choice wasn't wrong.
