Where the sun set completely, Hot Jiro and Theodore were quickly in another raid of herds of beasts.
Hot Jiro expected it to come at this time largely, so he was slowing the pace of walking, taking more time off, and keeping his health warm.
"Hope has gushed. We've got important information."
Hot Jiro grins invincibly in front of the beasts in the dark.
"What is important information?
"I guess they were waiting for the night because the enemy couldn't get the beast out in a row either. And... we won't wait till midnight when this one wears out, which means that if we walk through the night... we're likely to get out of the junction."
"I see..."
Listening to Hot Jiro's words, Theodore was impressed with his head spinning, while thinking about the possibility of having to walk until midnight, he let go.
(But Hot Jiro receives it as hope. I need to apprentice too...... but...... yeah...... I am too weak in heart compared to Hot Jiro)
Theodore draws attention as he begins his battle with the herd of beasts.
It was the black leopard who attacked me first. It blends into the darkness, but my eyes are shining, so I can handle it somehow.
Then a bunch of wasps fly in, trying to sew between the black leopards. It is the largest of the owls, and if the wings are spread, it will be as large as 180 cm. Although predators are mainly rabbits and mice, sometimes other birds also have memories of attacking the same raptors, such as Itachi, raccoons, other owls and hayabusa, and even deer children.
Washimizuku, which strikes from the air without even a sound, was an inevitable and troublesome substitute for the attack, although it is largely less lethal than black leopards.
While the tentacle guard was used more against the wasp mites, the black leopard was handled one by one by Theodore in a flesh-bomb battle, but many times he was caught, bit, and not fatally wounded, but when he repelled the herd of beasts, he was all wounded.
"Fine. Somewhat playful. Can recover with the application of transformative abilities"
Theodore strengthens, but doesn't look at all ok in Hot Jiro's eyes.
After taking a short break, the two walk out again. In the mountains with no road at night.
"Sleepy...... tired. But when it stops, that's where it ends."
He walks fluttered and rocks his upper body, whining as Theodore tells himself.
"You don't mind stopping and resting, but if you go to sleep, it's gonna be just like you're telling me to kill you."
"You did. If it's just a break, I just did."
said Jiro Hot, and Theodore smiled. I couldn't help but smile and squeeze my energies.
"Ah, the branches pierced me again... Why do you have so many pointy branches?"
Theodore stops his leg and puts his face to rest.
I'm used to walking around the mountains, so Hot Jiro was walking away from them, and I wanted to say that if you followed me properly, that wouldn't happen, but I'll keep my mouth shut because it's going to be another fight.
Jiro Hot is also coming more or less spiritually. I fall here, and I'm driven by the urge to sleep like mud without thinking about it later.
"Me too... I know how Theo felt earlier. I feel like crying right now."
"Try being stupid. Like you did earlier, now I'm ready to blame you."
"Ha, well, that's a good story, not to mention crap. If you ask me that, I don't even want to be stupid."
We can't joke about each other, we can't laugh. It was the two of us who were stomping on each other to do something about it and stop the connection so my heart wouldn't screw up.
"When it's over... it's too much."
Theodore throws up.
"Both Professor Friedman and a guy like Ellie called our lives distorted. I'll go home alive and prove to you otherwise. I'm gonna have to withdraw it."
"Right..."
Theodore, who increases his fighting spirit, is smiled, preferred, and felt reliable, and Jiro Hot spills a smile.
Huh, Hot Jiro smelled the smell.
"It smells like exhaust gas. The driveway is close."
Theodore smiles powerlessly as Hot Jiro looks back and tells him.
The trees abruptly break off. Two people out on grass-covered hills.
Walk the slopes of the hills. Walk the grass. And when I reached the top of the hill, I could see a number of lights overflowing in the direction of progress. The night view of Euthanasia City was overlooked. And in the distance, you can also see things in the heart of the city and the sparkling light.
Theodore fell to his knees.
"Hey, we're almost there. Come on."
Hot Jiro speaks up for encouragement, takes Theodore's hand, and makes him stand up.
"Yes, I'm fine. I can still go. Oh, wait a minute."
Over one hill, where we tried to go ahead, Theodore called it to a halt.
"Do you want to rest? I've been walking for a long time..."
Hot Jiro stops and cares about Theodore.
"No, I'm not. Just..."
Theodore watched the night sky - and the night view of the city - from the top of the hill. I could see it. It was distracting.
For a while, the two of us look back in the direction we have just come, staring seriously at the lights of the stars and the city lights of night.
"Now... I can tell you with my chest up"
Theodore opened his mouth and looked up at Hot Jiro.
"My life is not a distortion or anything. That my life is only one life, one life that lives like this here. I'm not the only one. Even Hot Jiro is."
"If you say so, so do I... no, you told me first"
Hot Jiro laughed lightly, breathing heavily -
"My life is ah! Nothing's going wrong!
Theodore turned into a decent face as Hot Jiro suddenly screamed.
"Scream for me, too."
"No, that's fine... Nori like that..."
"Huh? If you don't do it with me, I'm gonna look like an idiot by myself"
Rejected by Theodore, Hot Jiro became tanned and dropped his shoulder, it was then.
"We're surrounded..."
Hot Jiro wakes up his upper body and tells him with a nervous face.
Eventually it was in the grass on the slope of the hill, I could confirm.
King of the Hundred Beasts - a flock of lions. He lurked in all directions, but seems to have already completed the placement to push his prey, slowly getting himself out of the grass and in a position to be flown at all times simultaneously.
I thought it was just the lion. It's not. There was also one tiger slightly bigger than the lion, I could confirm. He's bigger than a lion, but as a tiger, he's still smaller.
"There's a lot of them. Much ill will...... Just before the goal, this was where I wore out, when the number of enemies was the highest ever. And then they're surrounded."
Says Hot Jiro with a pessimistic face.
"Are you saying that its ill intent is toward the beast of this image? Or against a god who's pushing such a fate?
When Theodore says in a powerful tone, he advances in front of Hot Jiro and finds himself. My body is blurry, but the hot aura rising from that little body looked like Jiro Hot.
"I told you not to be stupid earlier, but you..."
"Okay, okay. I'm not stupid in front of you till I die."
It blocks Theodore's words he pointed out and also makes Jiro Hot roll his fighting spirit.
The lions rush in unison.
The leading lion, tentacles stretched from the ground, pierced its head.
The second and third are also entangled and tightened with limbs and torso by the tentacles of Hot Jiro.
The fourth, Theodore assembled from the front. He was a lion who swung both forelimbs down with his small body and even tried to bite him with his fangs, but when Theodore caught and received the ankles of both forelimbs of the lion with each hand, he stuck his head into the empty mouth himself, behold a strong head thrust, and crushed the lion's skull.
To the left and right of that Theodore, a new lion and tiger were already looming, dressed to pinch both sides. Two lions to the left. And to the right, a tiger.
Hot Jiro summons the tentacles, but one of the three stretched from the ground had pierced the lion's abdomen, while the other lion and tiger, with their tentacles, hit Theodore at about the same time, from left to right.
(Do not engage…)
Theodore despairs. Either one of them can handle it, but no matter how you scratch it, the other fang reaches you. Theodore, who has seen its future, becomes limp and unable to move due to fear.
But neither the fangs of a tiger nor the fangs of a lion could feed into Theodore's body.
At that moment when the lion's body approached Theodore, in the air, the tiger's fangs devoured disappointingly into the lion's neck, and as it was, the lion's body dressed to be pushed back in the air, slammed into the grass.
With the strength of the tiger's tough jaw, the lion's neck was chewed up and then snapped. The lion of the image disappears.
"Huh...?
Both Theodore and Jiro Hot were distracted by what had happened. The lions have also stopped moving and are paying attention to the tigers.
"Ugoo!"
A lion nearby raised an angry growl and jumped at the tiger, but as the tiger showered a cat punch at the lion in the air, the lion spun and blew away. No matter how much bigger the tiger is, as far as weight difference physique difference is taken into account, it is not the normal tiger power.
The tiger walks quietly and moves forward in front of Theodore and Hot Jiro. We were both on guard and never stood up. We don't know who this tiger is, but it's obvious that he's on our side, and we're trying to protect ourselves.
"Oh."
As the tiger turned his body in front of Theodore and Hot Jiro, he lowered his head and took a combat stance, barking down with a strangely adorable and cute voice.
