Soul Eater of the Rebellion

Forest of guardian.

The demon tribes so-called the forests that humans call Titis.

Sparrows are the last of the survivors of the Kamuna clan protecting the forest of their guard-the last of them.

Originally, Kamuna no Sato was a small village where about 100 demon people lived.

To humans, "we do not invade and do not invade", and we did not reach out unless we unnecessarily destroyed the forest.

The options that humans have taken against such a village in Kamna are eliminated. Fifty years ago, Kamuna village was destroyed by a group of samurai coming from the east.

Although the demon fought hard, the power of the samurai was overwhelming and only seven survived.

Old men who were too old to fight and children who were too young to fight.

Two Parents Among these children were sparrows.

After that, the surviving demons resumed their lives in detail, guarded by the barriers, but it was extremely difficult for only the elderly and their children to live deep in the depths of Titis, the nest of monsters.

Some fell ill, others were assaulted by demons, others shared little food with their children and died themselves.

One, and one and the demon tribes, reduce the number.

And by the time the sparrow was born, only his parents had survived.

His parents are no longer there. His father did not go hunting when the sparrow turned three years old, and his mother died of illness when the sparrow turned six years old.

Since then, seven years. The sparrow is protecting the village of Kamuna alone.

While the sun is rising, look for nuts and edible plants in the forest, and when the sun goes down return to the village to clean the roadside and care for the house. This included houses other than their own.

This is what the mother came, and the sparrow took over after her mother died.

Sparrows do not forget the mother's face laughing so lonely in case someone returns someday.

And one more thing sparrows inherited from their mothers. It was the offering of a sacred tree towering north of the village and the dedication of dance.

The Great Snake The ritual of calming down still sleeping here.

In a ritual inherited by Kamuna fosters, sparrows' parents gave priority to their offerings, even though they reduced their eating habits.

Even a sick mother was indispensable, even after she couldn't dance, and she taught a young sparrow how to dance.

Earlier, the sparrow was caught by the King of Flies because of the inadequate amount of offerings and the danger of collecting food away from the barriers.

There the sparrow meets a person and is helped.

――If you think about it, it was the first time I had exchanged words with others since my mother died.

Until then, I was so desperate to live that I never missed anyone.

Demon beasts do not enter the Demon Village due to the barriers, so small animals such as squirrels, rabbits, hedgehogs and small birds frequently visit. When I talked to them, my loneliness was lost.

Beware of humans aiming for horns has been repeatedly taught by their parents. Therefore, I did not intend to leave the forest and visit a human town, even if I made a mistake.

However, since that time, feelings about humans in sparrows have changed slightly.

If you find a demon, you will not be a monster attacking by changing the color of your eyes. Instead, you will be able to talk and laugh.

That's why when he found a lost man in the woods, he shouted away to the brook where he had previously avoided.

It is easy to return to the city of Ishka down the river.

He was a different person than the one who helped me from the King of Flies, but he wanted to be the same person, one of the rewards.

No one can predict that a 13-year-old girl would sell her information to a slaver.

Hunter It is also possible that the location of the village is roughly specified. It can be sent in a row. That also meant that they couldn't get out of the barrier, and that they couldn't do the serpent-sleering ritual--all of which could not have been predicted.

The king of the snake appeared and the sea of rot spread, swallowing a part of the village, the sacred tree withered, and the barrier disappeared.

The sparrow alone has confronted the attacking monster.

Long pupil peculiar to snake species. Does the bright red blood look like delight in front of the prey or hatred that has been sealed for many years?

The sparrow managed to escape from a monster, such as a hill, but was hit by a sharp-tailed blow against a tree trunk, and its body was squeezed by a basilisk, who had quickly stopped.

Kurororo and the demon happily throat.

Listening to it up close, goosebumps stand all over the body. The monster's mouth is wide open, trying to make himself a circle only.

...... Oh, I wonder if I die here.

The sparrow thinks so, trembling with pain and fear. It probably also contained relief.

Even if we survive today even if the barrier was lost due to the sea of rot, tomorrow we will have more difficult lives than ever before.

A thirteen-year-old nymph cannot live alone in Titis.

If so, death here would result in less pain.

You may be able to meet your father and mother.

"Please be happy"

--Mother who died regretting leaving her young daughter. I'm sad that I can't respond to that last word, but it doesn't seem any better.

Mother: "I'm sorry."

I mutter with a trembling voice.

The basilisk stretched his long tongue, licking the sparrow's body, laughing at it.

A terrifying feel that crawls the whole body.

But there is no power left to dispel it. There is no energy left to pay off.

Basilisk goes up the trunk of the sacred tree while holding the sparrow. On the ground, other monsters may get in the way. It must have climbed the tree for that.

While doing so, the sparrow's view becomes dark. Sparrow consciousness is swallowed by darkness.

Shortly before everything turned black, the sparrow felt like seeing someone rushing into the square-but that was definitely a concern. The sparrows immediately think so.

No one can come. If it were to come, it would be something of a quick grim reaper.

With that in mind, the sparrow gently let go of her consciousness.

But then.

"Curoa aa aa !?"

The roar of the demon that explodes in close proximity.

Suddenly, the sparrow wrapped around the body of the sparrow.

The hands of Basilisk, who had bound his body like a vise, were unraveled.

Basilisk was climbing up a tree, holding a sparrow.

The sparrow's body that leaves the beast's hand falls according to the laws of nature.

It's not really high. In addition, the sparrow's body does not move in spite of its owner's will.

A monster poison, or a recoil that gave up everything just before.

And when the sparrow closed his eyes unintentionally, he heard his voice.

"--That's dangerous, dangerous. I was about to stab me."

With such a voice, the sparrow's body was firmly held.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a young man with black hair and black eyes looking down on a sparrow with a fearless smile on her mouth.

It was a familiar face.

I remember, but I don't know why I'm here at this time. The sparrow, who had no idea, but just opened his mouth to say thank, opened his eyes wide the next moment.

The basilisks above the sparrows burn flames of rage in their eyes and run down their trunks-no, they fall away from their trunks!

If you're crushed by the giant Basilisk, you'll be a human or a demon.

"U ... u, uh ...!"

Like his body, he tries to convey danger to a young man with a tongue that does not move.

Both hands of the young man are blocked by supporting the sparrow's body. Now he has no weapon against the Basilisk.

You have no choice but to hurry to escape from this area, but the surrounding ground is rotten and slim, and looks like a bottomless swamp. The only thing that is safe is the part of the tree root that the young man is scaffolding.

At that point, the sparrow suddenly wondered.

-Then how did this person come to here?

However, the giant Basilisk descends sooner than asking that question.

The young man lifted his chin and turned up. Even when I see the basilisk approaching, I do not move one eyebrow. One-tenth of a sparrow was not moving.

And the young man who turned up slowly opened his mouth-

Cheer "Hello !!"

Loud voice My eardrums were cracking.

At that moment, the sparrow's body jumps in the youth's arm. The whole body was swallowed by the vibration waves just by the aftermath. Huge pressure trembling to the core of the body. The ears squeal and all sounds disappear from the hearing for a moment.

On the other hand, the basilisk that was hit not in the aftermath but

"Currooooo !?"

A giant of more than 10 meters flies in the air, as if by a direct cannon hit.

The young man replayed the monster that had fallen from overhead with only his voice.

Of course, you can't really do that with your voice alone, so you must have actually used magical items, but it's not unusual.

Said the young man shortly to the sparrow, which was astonishingly surprised.

"I will fly. Be careful not to bite your tongue."

jump? I have no time to wonder. At the next moment, the young man, who was squatting down on the spot, kicked his feet with his sparrows.

The sparrow was about to scream. That much shock hit the whole body.

The young man jumps easily over the humid soil while holding the sparrow. For humans, no, it ’s impossible for a demon.

The sparrow was standing on hard ground.

The young man with the sparrow down reaches for a black sword stabbed in the ground in front of him. The young man grabbed the sword with such a sword that the sparrow was so inadvertently moved back.

Then he casually swings his sword at the basilisk that has just fallen to the ground.

A blow that cannot be reached, however, easily cuts off the leg of the demon. The demon's legs fly in the air, sprinkling poisonous blood. Now the demon has four legs-no, three. The leg that was holding the sparrow was slashed long ago.

At last, the sparrow realized what had happened to itself.

Perhaps the young man who ran to this place cut off the leg of the demon that stuck to the trunk from here. The purpose is to help sparrows. The young man, with his legs cut off, pushed his sword to the ground and released his arms, and flew to the base of the sacred tree to catch the falling sparrow.

It is not a human business.

"... What a bullshit ..."

Unexpectedly, such words leak.

Then the young man laughed happily.

Eyes: "Haha. Then, let's show one more bullshit in addition to the bullshit-'The blood is boiled, the hair is burning, and it boils.'"

The young man starts chanting.

Sparrows did not think that their opponent, such as a swordsman, would use magic.

Koketsu: "The chair of the castle, fluttering is a flag of rebellion, falling down is a bad blade. Hug my death to my enemy-Flame Princess."

The young man who completes the advanced magic of fire releases it to Basilisk.

There are five flame arms in the air-six, no.

The number of arms is up to two if a normal surgeon uses it. Even a very good surgeon will be able to do their best.

The arm that the young man showed was twice that. Moreover, each arm attacks the basilisk with the thickness, length, and speed reminiscent of a large snake.

They just described the power of the magician and the power of magic.

The screams of a basilisk with six arms tied all over the sea.

The sparrow, who was watching at it, suddenly felt the burning heat from near, and made a surprise voice.

If you look over there, youthful black sword is burning red as if it had become a flame.

Kei: The sparrow has no way to know that it was burned to the limit. However, without knowing the cause, I could understand the surprising amount of heat generated by the black sword.

Flame: Burn down the rotten forest-Fantastic one-sword style

The torrent of fire created by the sword technique of the young man swallows the basilisk with the forest as if it were a tsunami.

The sparrow stared at the sight as if dreaming.

I just stared at my dream without knowing whether the scene in front of me was a nightmare or a good dream.
