Wamala runs closer, but sooner than that, multiple shadows appear on the crack.

Hyun-hyun!

Dos dos dos dos dos dos!

An arrow was fired from the top, most of it piercing Emmett's body. Wamala and Emmett, because of their strength, were the heads of generals widely known to their enemies.

I've been targeted...

"... ufu..."

"Emetho!!

"Oneechan!!

"Uaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Gah! Kim!

I hear Amazonas on the ground fighting.

There was no time to shoot down, and the arrows didn't come down any further.

"Oneechan!!

"Emetho!"

Wamala rushed to Emeto with an arrow all over her body. They have been best friends since they were little.

"... wama... la..."

"Emmett, come on! I won't let you leave me alone!

"Ina... fuck..."

"Do something yourself! Don't cum!

…………

"Hey... Emmet...? Hey, wake up! Wake up!"

………

"Don't die! Emmetto!

"Wamala, it's dangerous to be here! Anyway, let's go deeper!

………

"Wamala, come on!

Bathroom!

"Sister...?

"You let Inaya do it!" Then we'd better evacuate the Inayas now! Make it look like nine stones!

Yanashiri understood how frustrating he was. Still, if we don't evacuate the others now, we're doomed.

"Ah, ahh...."

Wamala holds Emmetto and walks flatly.

"Oneechan... oneechan..."

Inaya murmuring at her sister's appearance, as rumored, was unable to move on the spot.

"Inaya is my responsibility. Hurry up!"

"Why... why... why did Emmett..."

"Wamala, if you don't hold on, we're all going to die! Run with all your might now!!

"Nh!!

Running through the valley in one stroke, you arrive at a place where the Amazonians are retreating further. Beyond this, it leads to an underground cave called an ant nest.

It is a place to escape because of Amazonas, which has lived for many years, and it is a maze like an ant's nest that is mixed up in the top, bottom, left and right. A place where people say they can never come back if they don't get in except Amazonas.

However, because Amazones didn't know the whole story and didn't want to enter as much as possible, he stayed in front of it.

"Inaya?!

With the death of Emmet, Inaiah has lost himself. I'm just staring at something.

"Nanahi....."

"Oh, no way... Master Emmett..."

"I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you..."

"Dear Wamala-sama...."

"Nanahi! Atani! Chikuru! Take Inaya and evacuate! Everyone else throw away all their luggage and evacuate! Those who have one stone will stop them here!

"" "" Yes!

"Damn it... I didn't know this was happening... Wamala, take Nanahi and the others.

"Is that so?!

"You can't fight on the front lines right now.

"I can do it!

"No, I can't. Nothing can be done with such a daze. Nanahi. Take Wamala.

Sister!

"... once in a while, listen honestly to my sister.

"Nh!!

"The others will defend this place with me! It's a blind spot from up here! Let's get rid of them from the front!

"" "Ooooh!

Wamala-sama!

"Eh... let's go.

Yes!

Nanahi and Oumara take Inaya into the nest of ants. There's just the same cavity everywhere you look. You can't tell which way to go without knowing this place.

Nanahi!

"Atani! Chikuru!

"Eh... Emmett-sama...?!

"Oh no... Emmett-sama..."

"I'm sorry...."

Wamala-sama! We have to go deeper!

"Nanahi... I see. Follow your sister's instructions.

Gogogogogogogogo....

"... there seems to be a fierce battle going on.

"They... they don't care about us!

…………

"Master Wamala?

All of them were headed back, but Wamala stopped her legs.

"... no way..."

"Master Wamala? We need to get back inside!

"... they didn't come after us... to find us...?

Wamala murmurs with a small voice that the other four cannot hear.

"Taka... Taka is putting everyone in danger again..."

Wamala-sama!!

"... Nanahi.

What?

"Do you know the way forward?

"Eh... I know, but..."

"Inaya and... please give me Emmett.

"What about Wamala-sama?!

"I'll... take responsibility for what I did.

"Responsibility... no! Yanashiri-sama told me to go with Wamala-sama!

"I have to do it. My sister... there's no way the tribal king could have died here.

Wamala-sama!

"Nanahi!?

Wamala ran to the entrance. Nanahi followed it.

"Hah... hah..."

Wamala headed for the entrance at full speed. The first thing I saw when I finally got there was a lot of blood and a pile of dead bodies.

Inside you can see soldiers in armor.

Before that, Yanashiri was the only one standing with a scratchy body.

"Not yet... not yet..."

He holds a thick, boneless sword in place of a cane and stands in front of the entrance.

"Sister..."

Soldiers approaching slowly. Yanashiri no longer has the power to wave his sword.

"Let me... let me like it any more!

Wamala, who jumped out of the entrance, grabbed the hazy body of Yanashiri and threw it into the nest of ants.

"Ha?! Wamala?!"

"I'm sorry I don't always listen to your sister. Your sister lives for everyone.

"Wamala!!!

Even if you stop Wamala from running inside the enemy, Yanashiri can't move forward from the spot without listening to his body.

"Uhhhhhh!!

Gah! Gah!

"That idiot! Damn it! Why aren't you listening to my body at a time like this? I can't let Wamala die!

Gakin '!

"Nh!! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It was Wamala, who had rounded off enemy soldiers one after the other, but there were many defenceless. The blade pierces the surrounded wamala.

Wamala, who still couldn't fall down, kept swinging her big sword, even though she had many swords stuck in her body.

"Yanashiri-sama!!

"Nanahi?!

"That's right... Wamala-sama..."

Wamala was surrounded and pointed at a blade. Blood is bleeding out of your body and your mouth is bleeding out with a pounding noise.

"Wamala... wamala!

It's no wonder he's long dead. The number of blades stuck in the body is not counted at a glance.

But Wamala turned slowly toward Yanashiri and Nanahi, slightly raising her mouth and lowering her eyes.

"Huh?!

"Wamala-saaa!!!

No!

Forcefully stop Nanahi, who was about to jump.

There was an orange light overflowing around Wamala's chest.

Covering Nanahi, the ears of Yanashiri lying on the ground in the nest of ants receive a roar that they have never heard before.

Shock, light, sound. Yanashiri and Nanahi, who were attacked by them, were easily blown into the cavity.

It was impossible for the two of them to remain conscious after striking their bodies hard.

"Dear...!... Master Yanashiri!

"... uhh..."

"Master Yanashiri! Are you all right?!

"... Chikuru...?

"Did you wake up!

Around Yanasili stood Chikuru, Atani, and Inaiah.

"Nanahi...?

"I'm out of my mind, but I'm fine.

"... I see... that's good..."

"Um... what happened?

"... Wamala used her heart stone.

"... Huh?!

Everyone's eyes go to the entrance to the ant's nest. Entrance collapsed by impact. Atani and Chikuru desperately retreat the blocked soil.

Little by little, the light plugs in.

"Oh no...."

Looking at Chikuru's voice, the outside turned into an unimaginable sight.

The entrance existed in the crack in the crust, in the valley. But now it's turned into a perfectly flat earth for a kilometre around.

"This is the second time I've seen the effect of the Heart Stone with my own eyes... but it's amazing..."

"Wasmara-sama... did you...?

"In order not to give any more heart stones, and to protect our Amazones.

"Oh no...."

"Ugh...."

"Nanahi!? Are you okay?!

"Yanashiri...?... Wamala-sama... where's Wamala-sama?!

………

"Oh no! Wamala-sama... Wamala-sama!

And Nanahi, who waved off the hand of Yanashiri, went out, and lost his word, and became stunned.

"... I'm sorry.

"Why... why Wamala-sama!

………

"Why are you doing this? Wamala-sama... wamala-sama!

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

"And then what happened?

"Afterwards, the King of the Beast tribe who noticed the noise came to me.

"Since then, Amazones has gained the backing of the King of the Beast clan, so he won't be targeted anymore..."

"Somewhat, I think Wamala-sama had a greater impact.

"With that destruction, the soldiers around us would have blown up without a trace..."

"At that time, there was no Amazones with hair decorations other than Yanashiri, and the number of people was considerably reduced.

"I lived quietly afterwards, but recently, the Knights of the Holy Order appeared.

"We trained ourselves desperately to never do that again....."

"Still not enough...?

"Yes."

Such a powerful heart stone. What the rest of the race wanted as a deterrent...

It's like a nuclear weapon in the original world. If another nation has it, but not one of its own... I hate that, but I'm sure it'll come for it anyway.

But in this case, the Holy Knights want to use it.

And for the Holy Knights against the world, there is nothing to do with the backing of the King of the Beast Clan.

The Knights won't give up, though they're running around now and there's no harm done. That's why we have a rescue request. And that's why they're lowering their heads to me. That's what I mean.

You might want to get out of the wasteland and escape somewhere, but for them, other species are dangerous creatures. Even if you were given a shield behind the King of the Wesen tribe, it doesn't mean you can trust all the Wesen tribes.

In other words, they have no choice but to continue fighting the Knights of the Holy Order as they flee here and there. Is this what Yanashiri thinks?

"The Knights of the Holy Order will come again. We have to be strong.

"In that case, I'll do what I can. It's best to protect ourselves.

"Really?!

"Get permission from Yanashiri and Nil.

"Gotcha!

"Hey, don't jump!

"Ahahahaha!

"But can't you tell Yanashiri? You think it's better to have Amazonese Yanashiri teach you than I do?

"Yanashiri-sama is busy with all kinds of things!

"Besides, Yanashiri-sama... wasn't good at teaching..."

Not good?

"When you try to teach me, it's almost the end of the game!

"... you can learn for yourself because it stinks. or something like that.

"Somehow I can imagine... okay. Well, let's get started tomorrow.

Yeah!

"Nanahi. Yeah! It is not. Please. That's right."

"Please!

"Please.

"... please.

"... please.

"Well, Nil must be worried, and I think it's time to go back.

"We'll tell the other kids! If you can't sleep like this, you'll get in the way of your morning training!

"Scared! Can't I sleep without telling me?!

"Ahahah! I'll see you tomorrow!

Nanahi and the others left behind a glimmer of anxiety.

It was time to return to Nil's waiting tent, but the Amazonian women should not follow just by looking at the flickers.

"Master! How are you?!

"I don't know... I'm really tired.

"I'm sorry..."

"It's not Nil's fault. Besides, there's no one who can fight that wave. It's horrible...

Have you heard from the Nanahi people?

"You're going to practice in the morning, right? I heard. There are a lot of people starting tomorrow!

"Nanahi is of a different type, but he uses his dagger very well. You'll learn a lot about it as a weapon similar to a dagger, so absorb what you can.

Yes!

"Well... today I'm tired, so why don't you use the yakitori I made earlier?

"It's magic of soy sauce!

"Ha ha ha. Niru is already a prisoner of soy sauce.

Yes!

"What?! It smells so good!

"Whoa?! Nanahi?! When did you get here?

"I went through it in the future! Besides! What's that smell?!

"Yakitori. It comes with a trait sauce made of Nil and me. You can do as much as you want.

"What?! Are you sure?!

"Hear."

"Hagh!... delicious!

"Take it yourself, take it yourself.

"What? What's delicious?

"Yakitori! It's so delicious!

"Smells good, right?

Amazonians gathered in succession by Nanahi's propaganda. They've been watching us for a long time, so they're all gathered here.

"Give it to me too!

"Me too!

"Oh oh...."

I handed the yakitori to the hand that was offered one after the other.

"Ah... ah..."

Nil looks at it with her eyebrows raised. You think you'll lose your share. You don't have to look so greedy because you can always make it like this...

"Nil, don't make that face again.

"Nh!! That's not what I meant..."

"Ha ha ha. It's bright red.

"Hmm...."

"Delicious!

"Did Sinya make this?!

"Me and Nil.

"It's so nice to be able to cook!

"Ah! Corakora! I promised you guys! Don't touch Sinya!

"Ahhh!

"Promise is promise! If you don't protect me, I'll take care of you.

"Well, I get it... see you later, Shinya!

"Oh oh...."

"These people are like storms..."

"I see...."

"Sinya, give me some yakitori too!

"Yanashiri..."

"What? You're telling me you won't give it to me?

"Don't stop because you're going to do it.

"I don't know.

"Here."

"Ahhh... nnh! Nnnh!

"At least say it after you swallow it. And hold it yourself.

"Delicious!

"That's good.

Speaking of which, Nanahi and the others came earlier and said that they would have Sinya practice tomorrow, okay?

"Listen to everything.

"Ah... are you talking about the Wamalas?

"I hear she was my real sister.

"... well.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't a good topic to get into.

"No, it's fine. That was a long time ago. I also have quite an arrangement of feelings.

I was really an idiot who didn't listen to me until the end... but I'm alive now because of that. We have to live to that point.

I see...

It's about to be a treat.

"It's no big deal. We're going to bed.

Hmm.

Go into the tent and lie down.

"Hey.

"... why are you even entering Yanashiri?

"Of course not. The man who beats me is the first man in Sinya!

"Of course not. Get out of here!

"Oooh?!

When Yanashiri was kicked out, he went back to his tent complaining.

Yanashiri said that he was able to organize his feelings, but such a thing is absolutely impossible. Death of a loved one is not that simple. I know that well, too.

That said, it's not like I can do anything, but if I could at least do everything in my power to train Nanahi and lighten the load on both shoulders a little bit... if I was thinking about that, I'd fall asleep sometime.

By the way... because the yakitori was popular that day, it was another story that we were able to form a queue of Amazonians to have dinner divided in front of our tent from the next day.

And the next day.

"Ohhaaaahh!!

"Nanahi is always fine..."

"Yeah! That's what this is all about!

The four Nanahi who assembled at the place where the game was played yesterday seem quite motivated. My eyes are tingling.

"Let's get started... first of all, everything I can teach you about my technology is self-study... I think there are many biased opinions. So, choose to throw it away yourself.

"I got it!

"I see.

"... okay.

……………

Well, let's get started. First Nanahi. "

Yes!

"Yesterday's game showed that Nanahi is afraid of fighting, right?

"Nh!!... I knew it..."

My healthy face gets dark. I still have to ask.

"I was convinced when I heard the story. Nanahi is quick and sharp, but not far enough. Because of that, there are extremely few attacks that I am afraid of.

……

"Was it the death of Wamala or Emmett?

"... maybe..."

People who believed they were strong died. I watched Wamala die before my eyes. According to the story, I also saw the scene where the other person's sword was stabbed with this.

When you see such a scene, you can't help but feel afraid of the battle itself. It would be a complete trauma.

"To tell you the truth, I think Nanahi has the same sense and skill as Inaya. If it's true strength, two stones are going up.

"Huh?!

"It's how I feel. However, in order to demonstrate its strength, there is only one way to defeat its trauma... its fear of battle. It's... probably impossible to get stronger without winning.

………

"The method is not something I can teach you. We have to find out for ourselves and beat it.
