"Coumoleen!"

If I were screaming with my hands in a cylinder, Michio would say,

"Yes."

I screamed and flew away.

"Huh?"

I blinked.

"Ah, right. Right! So...!

Michio is swinging his right leg around. Are you clinging to that tibia? I mean, are you biting? Animals?

It looks like an animal. About the size of a cat? So, my body is covered in hair like a needle.

"So, help, yes, hey, amuck, amuck, don't look, ahuck"

"Ah."

Well, I thought, give me the bastard sword, and I pulled it out.

"... If I slash you with this, I could slash Michio's right leg too?

"Oh, that sucks! Oh, no! No! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, come on, this guy! Get away from me! This...!

Mithio pulled out the dagger and tried to beat it to the animal.

Then the animal, painfully apart, at a distance, turned his whole body's hair upside down, and peeled off his fangs sharply.

"Wow, I'm scared..."

I was sober.

Mithio nodded, holding down his right leg.

"While I'm at it... Hey, this isn't getting stylish... it hurts... me, I hate pain..."

"Huh..."

Keita, not Johann. Johann pulled out the long sword.

"You're out, you dark manipulator. I'm the one who's gonna succeed...!

"... I don't know if it's just a beast, what do you think...!?"

Mushrooms jumped.

"Hey dude!? Oh dude. So...!?"

Feet.

Mushrooms aren't right legs, they're left legs.

That animal is biting.

But that animal is over there, is that...?

"There are two...!

Hisaya said.

"Be careful! Maybe he's still here!

"... heal me, heal me"

Michio is wearing half a beard.

Hisaya seems lost. I thought there might still be other animals out there, so maybe you're on guard. That's what he said.

"No matter how many, it's the same...!

Johann poked at the first animal and shook up a long sword.

The animal jumped back and flew away.

"... Kuh!

Johann stood, lay down and obliqued the long sword.

"All the time......! Don't do it, Dark Hands......! I didn't know you would see through my Light Sword moves......!

"Uhhhhhh......!

The mushroom fell and rolled. Still, the animal doesn't leave the left leg of the mushroom.

"It hurts! It hurts! Because it hurts! So it hurts! Ouch, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

"Be patient......!

I ran to the mushroom and kicked my left leg. I was going to kick every animal out, but the animal, after all, I pampered away, so I only kicked the left leg of the mushroom, as much as I wanted.

"Yes!"

"Duh...!?"

"Oh, my God."

"... uuuuuuuu"

"Saiyah! Zuhh! Nuhhhh......!

Johann's waving the long sword around, but it hasn't hit the animals at all.

I'm on my way with an animal off the leg of a mushroom. Tiny, but powerful, I feel cautious. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go. Because it's small, like a sword, and it's unlikely to hit.

"Ouch, that hurts."

The mushrooms are rolling around and crying.

"Hey, Hisaya!

Michio yelled.

"Heal me! You're a priest! I need you to heal me! It hurts!

"Just be patient!

Hisaya's looking over there and over here.

"There's no one else, after confirming! You'll be defenseless while I'm treating you, and if they attack you there, you won't even be able to see me."

"But I'm here!

"So tell him to be patient!

"Hey! If I were there, I'd be here... Ugh...!?"

Michio flipped. Animals. Third? It's biting around Michio's neck.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!?"

"You're too broad......!

Hisaya ran to Michio and poked the animal with a short staff. Looks like it hit me, the animal gagged and screamed, but don't jump away, don't just go anywhere, twitch and flip, shh.

"Blood! Blood...! Hisaya! From my neck, no blood...!

Michio's already panicked.

"Shut the fuck up! You can't do this now!

Hisaya has a short staff, calm down, or isn't it a little cold?

"No more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more..."

Mushrooms crawl on all fours and hold their heads.

"Huh...!

I tried to shake the bastard sword down on the animal, but I was caught.

"... I don't think I can do this!

"Something impossible......!

Johann pointed the tip of the long sword straight up and put his left hand in front of his face.

"With the guidance of light, we can destroy the Dark Hands...!

"Okay, do it."

Hisaya laughed...... I think.

"Good luck."

"... Huh?

I was taken aback.

Hisayah twirled and turned right, because he ran away.

"Huh? Huh...? Huh...!?"

I couldn't figure it out, so I swung the bastard sword around. Then I got kind of grumpy, handy, and it seemed like some kind of coincidence, I hit it, and the animal flew off with a più.

"Yay! One!"

"Ugh."

Apparently, an animal that bit Michio's neck was attacked by mushrooms. The mushroom is bitten by the neck muscle and crawls with great momentum.

"Uh-oh! Ghhhhhhhhhhh! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

"... naughty"

Johann shook the long sword and put it back into the sheath.

"Now is the time to show the depths of light..."

"Ogi?

I snapped my neck.

Johann shrugs. Animals come forward.

Johann gets even lighter. Animals leave a long time ago.

Johann and the animal stare.

The animal tried to jump on Johann. At that moment, Johann shouted.

"Kahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!

The animal went down, freaking out. In that gap, Johan turned his heel back.

"Transfer......! My men! Follow me...!

"... even if they say so"

I alternated between Johann's hindsight running più and Michio sitting and holding his neck, and a mushroom crawling a long way further away as I shrugged, then I glanced at the animal Johann had been dealing with until just now.

The animal turned to me and posed as a threat. Shh.

"Er..."

Why did this happen? Should I run, too? But then, the mushrooms are going somewhere, and even if they can't help it, they're going to abandon Michio. Something doesn't feel like I can do that either.

I ended up waving a bastard sword around like I just fucked up.

No matter how much we shook, it didn't hit us at all, but the animals seemed tired, me too, distanced ourselves from either, and at the end of the day the animals went somewhere. I crouched down, breathed, and then went to Michio's.

Michio let the tree bring his back and sat on the ground, still holding his neck by his hand. The blood was amazing, he looked pale, and he was sweating like that to see.

"... Michio, are you okay?

"Yeah."

"Doesn't look like it, though."

"I wonder."

"Ouch?"

"Hey...... what do you think? Something, not really. That hurt earlier."

"Can you stand?"

If I ask you that, Michio won't answer that.

"I don't know, run away."

I said.

"Let's get out of here. Normal. Hilarious. Hisaya and Keita. It's possible..."

"Right."

"It sucks, seriously. Because they suck..."

"Yeah."

"Amro didn't run away."

"Because, Michio, we will"

"... mushrooms, wondering what happened"

"I don't know. 'Cause he's been gone forever."

"You'd better not go looking."

"I'm not going though."

'Cause I don't know.'

"Right. Go home?"

"... me."

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry. It's because of that. Amro, don't run away, you're here... that's what I'm saying."

"Yeah."

"I don't feel like it anymore"

"Really?

"Yeah. Something... what is it? Wow. You can't stand or anything."

"I'll support you."

"I don't think it's going to last until Altana. 'Cause look at that."

Michio let me take his hand off.

The wound at the neck, it was pretty, awful. It was much, much worse than I thought.

Michio held the wound with his hand again and laughed.

"... uh. What is it? This, hey, that's it. Oh, no, me. Something more like this, I want to cool it. But that's about it. No more."

"You don't have to put it on, okay?

"I don't know. Hey, but you want to put it on. So, Amro, go now."

"Huh?"

"Come on, get away from here. You should go home. To the city."

"But"

"When I say hon. Come on. It's hard. This is how we talk. But I wanted to talk to you. Um... what? If you don't talk, it's me, you know... you're not dead. Ha... well. You feel like you're gonna die."

"... Michio, are you going to die?

"Probably. Oh... scared... to death, scared..."

"And don't die?

"... yeah. I don't want to die. Oh...... hey, Amro Chi"

"Yeah."

"Chu, do"

"Fine."

"... that? Is that okay?

"Just Chu, okay?

"Fine. Sufficient. Probably more than that... something that doesn't seem possible."

I kissed Michio. I feel sorry for you, so I put my tongue in properly, and I behaved for you. Me, dude, you like kissing. He sounds like some kind of pervert, but he got excited. Michio, too, was an amazing tongue to say he was already dead or something, and it was good. I don't know, I didn't even think about it. If Michio was fine, I think he would have. But Michio wasn't dying. He didn't even make it look so good, and suddenly, Michio's tongue moved dull, and then he stopped moving, and I let go of my mouth.

"... Michio?

I called his name a few times, but Michio didn't respond. I opened my thin eyes, I'm still breathing, but I'm so weak, and I stopped breathing. My eyes stayed open.

I sighed.

"... I'm dead, Michio"
