Giant insect Inselmuje.
An outer shell with no arrows, no spears, and stupid, thick legs beneath it.
A right half with countless strange shaped thorns, and a left half like a smooth, polished steel ball. A thick horn stood on his head, and a sharp fang peered through his mouth.
The green verde told me to be careful.
Almark thinks so.
Unlike other monsters, it was clearly different.
The thick outer shell, which glows dullly in steel, evokes Almark's memory of the north.
Garrett Hardcore Mercenaries.
The fighters of that mercenary regiment with the absolute Ace "Land Warrior" Angor were all dressed in thick armor of that color.
If so, I'm learning from my dad how to deal with it.
Inselmuju's red glowing eyes moved gently to catch Almark and Morgan.
"I'm looking at you."
Morgan said in a trembling voice.
"Well, it looks like you're getting angry somehow. I wonder why."
"Are you mad?"
Almark glances at the Yukimaisumi tree he turns his back on.
Oh, I see.
"What is it? What is it?"
Morgen stares at Inselmuju and says to his neighbor, Armark.
"Tell me, too."
Beetles like sap, don't they?
Yeah, yeah.
That's why this tree is definitely his territory.
Huh?
Morgan unexpectedly looked back at the Yukimaizumi behind him and saw the nectar still flowing from the trunk.
Oh, I see.
Morgan gave up on his pale face.
"The nectar of this tree is all his." If your precious nectar is about to be sneakily eaten by people you don't know, it will make you angry. "
Then, I added the sled.
"I know how you feel."
"Even if we know how you feel, we can't just give back this cylinder."
Almark said.
"There's still some sorting left over from Fawnbury." I can't properly deal with such a sturdy monster. "
Yeah, that's right.
Morgan nods and suddenly snorts.
"Oh, Almark, I finally understood what you were saying."
Huh?
"The smell. The sweet smell of this forest."
Morgan frowned.
It's certainly stronger than before.
So are you.
Almark nodded.
Verde's pie was definitely weaker.
"There's no time for reprieve at last."
Almark stood on Mars' staff.
"I'll attract Inselmuju."
While saying that, I gently looked at Morgan. I haven't stopped sweating yet, but my breath is almost ready.
With this, we'll still be able to run.
“Morgan, when I tell you to, you take the barrel and run to where you came from.”
Eh
Morgen looks out.
"Are you going to deal with this guy alone?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Almark replied without a moment's hesitation.
"I'll take care of it."
"All right."
Morgan nodded.
The monsters were specializing in Almark. Even if I tried to use up my magic power here, it would only stand in the way of Almark.
"I beg you."
When Morgan said that, Inselmuju's head buckled.
A log-like horn is attached to both of them.
The wobbly, stupid leg stops its movement.
Coming
Almark said.
Morgan, go around to the back of the Yukima Smith.
Um, yeah.
It was when Morgan started to move around the tree.
Inselmuju rushed toward the two of them. Even though there was no preliminary operation, it was a tremendous speed.
"Heehee"
Morgan hides behind Yukima Smith as he rolls over.
At the same time, Almark slipped behind the tree from the other side.
With his body shrinking to prepare for the impact of Inselmuju on the tree, Morgan is surprised that the tree doesn't shake even twitch.
Ah, huh?
"It just stopped just before I hit it."
Almark said in a tone as if he were looking across the tree.
Did you stop?
Morgen looks at Armark.
Why?
"He can't hurt this tree."
Almark answers.
It's a source of honey.
Oh, I see.
Morgan breathes out in relief.
”You can't just knock down a tree that produces precious honey yourself, can you?”
But beyond the trees, you can hear the unpleasant sound of rustling. Then there was the sound of scratching the trunk.
I'm licking honey
Almark muttered.
I hope this fixes your mood and leaves us alone.
"I hope so."
Morgan replied.
"We can really enjoy the deliciousness only if we share the delicious food together." No, I don't want to talk about it if I only have one person. But it's going to come out so much, why don't you split it up a little bit? "
"I wish he was as good as you."
That said, Almark slightly relaxed his expression.
"But I can't stay here forever. Let's move, too."
Yeah.
Morgan nodded. Time is limited.
That's right.
"I'll jump out of here."
Almark points at the way he came around.
"I'll give you a signal when he's attracted to me, so you can jump out of the other way and run like hell."
"Okay, I got it."
Is it okay?
Morgan swallowed his spit.
Almark smiles to reassure Morgaine.
"I'll catch up with you, so you can run without turning around."
Yeah.
Morgan nodded and took a breath.
Don't worry, I'll tell you that.
"I'll do it."
Well then, let's go first.
Almark jumped out of the tree in a tone that made him feel like he was going to play.
I guess he reacted to that, and Morgan knew that Inselmuju was making a frightening noise and moving away from the tree.
Inselmuju follows the footsteps of Almark as he runs away.
Come on, over here.
Almark's voice.
The voice has no cowardice at all.
Really, Almark is amazing.
Morgan realizes that his body is beginning to tremble.
When it comes to battle, Almark always gives instructions without any trouble, but when he does, Morgan always shakes.
It was the same with the mercenaries during the summer vacation and the Koen during the martial arts tournament.
Because the opponent is much more powerful and scary than me.
Of course, there's a reason to tremble.
It was mostly because of the tremors of the battle with the mercenaries in the winter mansion.
However, after the various battles that followed, Morgan realized that his reason for trembling was changing.
Almark's eyes were as if he hadn't thought that Morgan would fail.
The trust that puts you in the important place of the battle.
When he feels it, he sees his body gradually trembling from the inside of his chest.
What if I screwed up? If you lose Almark's trust. Of course I was scared.
But more than that, the joy is that such a great friend believes in my power just as much as he believes in his own.
How many more fights with Almark?
Morgan thinks so.
I wonder if I can stand next to it naturally without trembling like this.
After thinking about it, Morgan shakes his head in a small way.
I'm sure that day won't come.
Morgan listened to Inselmuju's footsteps and Almark's voice.
Almark will call me soon. [M]
Morgan!
Almark's voice was heard.
Now!
Morgan jumped out of the tree without hesitation.
Almark had already quite separated Inselmuju from Yukimaisumi.
Morgan just ran straight ahead of him on the road he had opened.
Almark told me not to look back, but I still looked back.
Almark lashed out at Inselmuju's rush as if he were a puppy.
She dodged herself with a flick of the outer shell with Mars' staff.
A giant bug with such a hard shell looked like it was wobbly.
Exactly, Almark.
Morgan thought.
I'm sure they'll catch up with us soon.
That's when I tried to turn around.
All of a sudden, Almark fluttered.
As if the movement just now was a lie, body judgment lacks precision.
Huh?
Morgan unexpectedly stopped.
Without being able to dodge Inselmuju's rush, I saw blood dancing from Almark's chest.
The face was distorted in pain.
Poison.
Morgen instantly understood.
The sweet smell rushes through Morgen's nasal cavity.
Poison.
The poison is robbing Almark of his movement.
Almark jumped.
However, Inselmuju's long leg suddenly struck the body in a strange movement.
The body is thrown over the grass.
Almark!
During the battle, Morgan disobeyed Almark's orders for the first time.
I didn't have time to think, and my body was moving on its own.
Swinging his staff, Morgan rushed back toward Inselmuju.
Morgan, don't come!
Almark's scream.
But Morgan didn't stop.
If I had to stop here, I wouldn't have qualified to be friends with Almark for a long time.
"Wow, ahhh!"
Morgan roared.
