Running Away From The Hero!

16. It burns. (4)

# 7 Their Reason: A Daughter's Reason

“Then listen to your grandfather. ”

“Yes!”

“And be careful! ”

“Yes!”

“And also…. ”

“Hey, Dad, did you know that you keep repeating the same thing for 10 minutes? ”

I frowned slightly, looking at my father with worrying eyes.

I didn't want to look like this, but if I didn't do this, my dad would say the same thing all day.

“Yeah, be careful. Be quiet at home today. ”

“Heehee! It's time for a quick harvest. ”

“I'm fine for a day or so. ”

“Yes.”

I nodded my head as I felt my father's hand gently stroke my hair.

It's not bad to rest at home for a day or so.

“Then be careful. ”

“You have to be more careful! ”

“I'm going with my sister. ”

“You can trust me! ”

“That's my brother! ”

When I look at my sister who proudly smiled, I feel relieved.

Of course, if you raise your hand at me, I can't be more afraid than anything else!

“Hmmm… a battle…. ”

“If anything happens to Elise, I'll ask him. ”

He's been asking his dad for a battle since yesterday.

But my dad always told me not to fight, to live.

Fight as hard as you can with someone else!

If you have to fight yourself, he told you to think about running away first.

Fighting is always the last resort!

That kind of pacifist father would never accept his request for battle.

“Hnng... Okay."

He looked like he had a lot to say, but finally, he nodded and walked him out.

“Hmm……. If anything happens, call your grandfather. ”

“Yes, Grandpa. ”

My grandfather left and watched him with his clumsy eyes. He sighed and stroked my head as he couldn't see him.

After Grandpa went back to the next house.

“What do you want me to do, kids? ”

I sat in front of a lightly burning fireplace and talked to Misha and Coco.

“Meow!”

“Mmmm... ”

Misha was screaming like usual, and she was grunting and looking for an answer to my question.

“How do you usually do? ”

“Meow…. ”

“Aunty... No... * Sobbing * ”

Seeing Misha's twisted reaction, I don't think she said anything.

Usually, my dad and I build farms, and these kids are guarding the house with my sister.

But you're still my sister.

I don't think they usually leave them alone.

“I'm sorry, Cowboy. ”

“Ugh... Aunt... I'm scared! ”

He ran up to me in tears.

I gently pat down those knots and soothe them.

She is very painful to hit with a night of honey.

“Yes, she's not here today. Play with your mom today. ”

“Yes!”

Squeeze tightly until your nose doesn't shed a tear.

“Mommy's gonna kick your aunt's ass! ”

I'm not just saying that to Koko.

I'm really going to nag her when she comes back.

Even for my older sister, this seems a bit harsh.

He's still a one-year-old boy!

Even if I could talk, I wouldn't do that to a one-year-old!

Of course, that fist is too strong for an adult!

I was talking to Misha in front of a small campfire.

Knock, knock.

“Grandpa?”

At the sound of knocking, I tilted my head.

Right next to my house is my father's crop, my grandfather's next door.

So the only people who come here are my family and my neighbor's grandfather.

But why would he come all the way out here?

Something is unsettling.

But the knocking is getting louder and louder.

“Should I go?”

When I got up from my seat, Misha and Coke also started following me.

He spoke up a little bit as he got more aggressive.

“Who are you?”

He said it was natural for people to ask questions and answer them.

The people who knocked on the door seemed to have no manners as a person.

“Over here!”

because at the same time, they broke down the door.

# 8 Their Reason: The Reason of a Demon

“Find the successor of Circus so no one notices. ”

That was the Lord's command to us.

The Magic Cube is now in chaos, itself.

Three factions wage an invisible struggle.

In that situation, the Four Thousand Monarchs, our Lord Aggreat, summoned us for only one reason.

To take the place of the Demon King, I ordered you to find the successor of the Circus.

“I understand.”

One vote from the lack of a circus solves everything.

Most of the chiefs who raise their hands on the whole tribe, without participating in Aggreat's power, remember their predecessor, the Demon King.

The leader of the Demon King is a monarch who even Agreart recognized.

He was the Great Demon King who created the Great Peace Corps.

However, the Demon King made it into an era of peace after the pacific age.

Even though all the forces of the Demons were combined and the perfect supplies were prepared, they did not invade the humans.

Humans and the Horsemen cannot live under the same sky.

It is also one of the laws spoken by Jesus.

Despite not defending it and having ample capacity, the Demon King did not attack the humans.

That's why, after the death of the Demon King, Aggreat decided to take over his role.

As the Demon King, he will stand at the forefront and defeat all who condemn and insult the drunkard!

I will raise the name of the Horsemen on every continent!

That said, I took him with the tribe as Lord.

This Aggreat is the only one who can tell the world the name of the Maa.

I believed I would be the greatest king to build the Demon Empire.

That's why I traveled with the others to find the successor of the Circus.

Most of them were violent because they were the center of a radical wave, mostly combat prone.

After that, the war with Humans is enough.

That's why I've been working so hard to calm them down for the last two years.

In a small village to the north, you can finally see the signs of the Horsemen.

I was shaking.

Our lord will finally be king of the Horses.

The dream of the Horsemen is about to come true!

‘Let's calm down.'

This is important now.

This is the continent of Humans.

Among them was the kingdom in the northern corner.

If word of a Horse has spread across the continent, the entire human race may occur.

Even if we are strong, it is dangerous for all humans to stick together.

So we must secretly find the progeny of the Circus.

I need to calm down before I can stop these bastards.

That way, you kill all the humans in the village, stopping them from seeking the successor of the Circus, and gradually narrowing the area.

And the last house I found.

A short distance from the village, there were two small houses among the crops, including wheat and corn.

“First things first. ”

“Can't we just smash it? ”

Afir, the leader of the towing tribe and one of the four thousand kings, growled.

It's a little further from town, so this place should be fine.

But let's be a little more careful.

“There's still a house next door... I think it's best to be careful. ”

“Ugh... Yeah, I've endured it a few times. It doesn't matter if you endure it one more time. ”

While sharpening his teeth, Afir nods.

He also wanted the Lord to take the place of the Demon King more than anyone else.

“Why isn't it coming out? ”

“Is there no one here? ”

Aphir knocks on the door.

But the man was not coming out.

“It's popular. ”

“Ugh... This place... ”

“Wait……. ”

You hear a small footstep, but you start to hear it coming.

But more importantly, the red glow is getting clearer!

This tool was a tool that only the Mages would react to.

“Who are you?”

The moment you hear a slightly trembling voice, the red light of the tool peaks.

It meant that the owner of this voice was the descendant of the Circus we were looking for.

“Over here!”

Afir pulls the doorknob.

A retractor known for being impatient, and this should last a long time.

“Ugh!”

At the same time as the girl's scream, she flies the door air with a handle to the power of Afir.

“Nu, who are you? ”

“Come with us! ”

The little girl with the pink head screams, but Aphir's touch does not stop.

“Careful. When you die, the only magic left is war. ”

This is a civil war among the same faction, even if the factions are divided.

After undergoing internal combat, it's impossible to even calculate how low the army's combat strength and morale will drop.

However, if only this child could be handed over to him, he could become the Demon King according to the law.

The moment you become the Demon King, you will be able to judge the arrogant humans they call their best!

That's what came close.

Maybe that's why.

When the cat next to the little girl jumps up, we do nothing.

It is the same for the towing chieftain, Aphir.

It's because we all knew that hard skin doesn't hurt even steel.

“Rrrrgh!”

But after a while, I saw Aphir holding his right arm.

“Meow!”

It was the image of a cat spraying swords at long fingernails.

# 9 Their Reason: What a Cat's Reason

Strong.

The energy of the four men who appeared smashing through the door made me realize that.

Then all we need now is a break from the enemy.

Do as you've always done.

Just like you showed the end to a man and a silver girl who seemed to know who I was.

It just looks like a cat is running.

The enemy was careless.

The dog's head is bared and bared from its robe.

I'm not a Demibeast. The horn on my head is proof of that.

The Horsemen only heard about the opponent.

More reasons to fight.

They are hostile Demibeasts to Humans, but only when the Horses have invaded are they evil enough to make allies.

It is because it is the will of our God, the Holy Spirit.

“Meow!”

“Ha, a cat... going?! ”

Aim for the neck.

The user collects magical power from its fingernails to create swords by aiming for prudent gaps.

The Demibeast's most primitive weapons are their teeth and nails.

As a Demibeast, when I spread my martial arts skills from childhood to the body of the cat, my enemies panicked and began to withdraw.

Faster than I thought! ’

As expected, the opposing Pokémon is strong.

Maybe a frontal battle would be a one-on-one battle.

I had the physical ability to step back with a moment's judgment and exercise that judgment.

If it's not the neck! ’

Twist your whole body to change course.

I can't take your life, but I need you to lower your strength at least.

“Rrrrgh!”

Success.

The right hand, which reached out to the savior, was cut clean off.

“Son of a bitch! ”

The angry bastard wags his left hand.

The wind pressure alone makes my small body wobble.

The swing of the hand released its magical power naturally.

We can avoid it, but if we avoid it, the Silver Man will get hurt.

However, this small body cannot stop that attack.

If so, there is only one way.

“Mwaaaahhhh!”

Bring magic to your body with a shout.

Flow of magical power in the whole body.

You can feel your body change as it flows.

It's been a long time.

In 0.3 seconds, I turned from cat to human in front of me. Sharp magic approaches.

“Cat people, reflux."

Magic back into the enemy's hands.

“Who are you! ”

If I could kill a man with my eyes, I could kill ten more times, and the Crane looked at me.

“Misha?”

The voice of the embarrassed savior is heard behind your back.

But right now, I don't have time to care about the savior.

Enemies at your doorstep are strong.

So we have to stall.

“My name is... Misha. The Silver Man you want to take.... ”

After a moment of thought, I shout with a slight smile.

“It's you!”

And at the same time.

“What are you? ”

An old man, a monster, appeared at the right time to face the enemy.
