"Hey, cooperate...?

"Yes, cooperation. I don't have a clear basis, and I can't explain it well, but I don't think I'm in the race anymore."

Why did Leanne and Monica stay there?

I don't know about that... but you must also be thinking about not being a rock anyway.

You weren't surprised to see me, so here's what you're after?

Or are you collectively trying to do harm to the immortal birds as well?

Phinea doesn't know about Leanne and Monica, so she can't explain it well.

You may understand if you take the time to explain, but at this time, I want to avoid losing any extra time.

"So now let's form a cooperative stance. I think it's best to do that."

"Uh..."

Phinea doesn't answer instantly.

Take the thinking trick...

Then I look at this one with suspicious eyes.

"Oh, doesn't that mean you're up to something...?

"Uh... it"

Of course, I'm not planning anything.

For this one, Leanne and Monica are irregular.

There's just no way to prove that.

For an immortal bird tribe hostile to humans, words alone would not make you believe me.

Shit.

I need to convince you somehow, what should I do?

"On."

As I was haunting my head, my neighbor Sakura barked.

No.

Rather than barking, it's a gentle chirping somewhere in an atmosphere of talking.

"Wahoo...... on, on"

"What, Sakura?

"On!"

"Ugh, um..."

Apparently, Sakura is persuading me.

The look on Finia's face, which at first included insurance, changes into something slightly softer.

"... I get it"

After a while, Finia looks at this one like she's ready.

In its eyes, the colour of suspicion, unchanged.

However, I could see only a few other emotions.

"What about Sakura?

"Oh, it's okay to believe you..."

"Then can you believe it?

"And I can't believe it. I hear humans are savage, fierce and cunning...... and very awful creatures! I'm sure, look at the gap about the eagle too...... gakugaku blubber"

"I wouldn't do that..."

"... but"

Her gaze remains rugged, Finia says, in a somewhat soft condition.

"Now...... I'll try to believe Sakura"

"Oh well. Thanks."

"Or don't get me wrong! Oh, I didn't believe you, I believed Sakura. So... ahhh."

"That's enough."

Thanks to Sakura, the place is going to come together somehow.

Thanks again to Sakura.

When I settle down, I want to treat myself to something delicious.

Nevertheless...... just convincing one Phinea, this is all the hard work.

It'll be harder to get to Mr. Elfin.

I'm worried about Canade, Chiffon, Rifa and Nina.

Will you be all right?

Where is this place, and what happened?

We need to find out early and get back to everyone.

――――――――――

Back inside, Elfin assembled the others to explain the situation.

That all of a sudden, people other than Rain appeared.

That Finia disappeared somewhere by that human being.

Unfortunately, reinforcement-like humans have escaped.

After explaining them, Elfin says with a tough face.

Let's execute the hostages.

The man named Rayne was cowardly enough to take his people and sneak them.

That's not all, I kidnapped my daughter.

It is a despicable and extreme crime.

I can't refuse to forgive you.

No immortal bird tribe succumbs to a foolish act.

We must challenge them with determination and reward them accordingly.

"That's right! Kill him! Kill him!

"I still don't trust humans!

One endorsement after the other.

Everyone and he are including anger in their voices, and they look impatient.

To the sight, Nina shrugged herself.

Rifa leans on her like that and protects her from the malice around her.

"Calm down."

Sigre speaks softly to the heating elfin.

"Isn't it decided that with Rain and the newly emerged human being connected? This time it could be the work of a completely irrelevant third party"

"Yay, is it better to be a werewolf than a human being?

"You don't like humans. Except for Rayne. Rain is a man we werewolves have recognized."

"You don't talk about it. I can't believe humans are fooling me... is that the extent to which the werewolves are fooled?"

"Well... is that an insult to the werewolves?

"If that's what it sounded like, then so be it."

There is a disturbing air flowing between the two of them in statements that denigrate not only Rain, but also the Wolves.

My gaze hits the bees......

Slightly, Sigre spills a sigh.

"Hmm... you can't help fighting here. That's what the enemy thinks."

"What do you mean by enemy?

"I won't lend you an ear if I tell you right now, so I'll see you later. I'd rather not execute hostages."

"Why is that? Even when this happens, you still think that man hasn't done anything?

"That's what I'm thinking, but I guess you're not."

"Naturally. Again, even though you are, you shouldn't have let humans and such inside. We should have eliminated it immediately."

"Are you restless? Whether it's malicious or not... there's Phinea over there at the moment. You should leave the hostages behind for a while."

"... we'll secure the hostages, too?

"I think that's the best part, don't you think?

"... right. It'll make sense. We shall wait a long time for the execution of the hostages."

Sigre spills a softly relieved exhale so that no one notices.

Somehow, the immediate execution of the hostages could have been avoided.

But it won't last that long.

If this opaque situation continues, it is not strange that the wrath of elfins and undead birds will explode again.

"We have to do something about it before it happens... Rayne, Sakura, what are you doing now?
