CH 5 (1/2)

5. The girls with one digit number.

“It’s there.”

Iss.h.i.+ and Premier layed down in the tall gra.s.s and by Verde’s hushed voice, turn their eyes to the direction where she said to be cautious.

There, right in the middle of the gra.s.sy land, stand a huge monster which had skin of earth-like color, and glaring at the surrounding area.

Apparently, it seemed to be looking for prey.

It had a big lethal club in its hand, and the blood of its previous prey blackened it, it seemed to be impossible for the other party which consisted of a high school boy and innocent girls to go against it.

(There is no problem, as I believed Premier words, but I wonder that it is really okay to came here.)

As he look behind while burdened with such uneasiness, all the homunculi girls in their lowered position ,whim only had golden eyes as a common trait, and trusting the greatness of him.

(No no no no! There is only an uneasy element here)

As he scratch his head, Premier next to him, thought (Why are you so upset?). While not understand the real reason why such expression showed on Iss.h.i.+’s face.

(Ee, Am I amusing?)

His confusion is growing more and more.

Thus in the same way Premier called Verde,

“Someone having combat skills as a gift among the people of one digit numbers, come here.”

A beautiful sound whispered quietly.

Then, a slightly active girl with silvery hair that seems to be the youngest among the girls, and a girl with raven-black hair and tanned skin which appear unusual among the homunculi stepped forward.

Premier quietly inform the two people.

“Master desires to move to safe place as soon as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the obstruction, can you two do it?”

(No no no no!!!) Was the word that Iss.h.i.+ shouted in his mind.

By all odds, the girls before him, were not able to defeat that huge creature.

When he was about to stop this foolish act, the girl with silver hair opened her mouth.

“Certainly jayo, I who have a one digit number, No. 0004 believe that I can take care of that not so scary monster in a matter of seconds jayo.”

How can you be so confidence, where do you take pull it out of? No, it’s absolutely abrupt. And suddenly a huge sickle appear in the s.p.a.ce above her head.

She, while grinning in high spirits, swing the sickle back and forth many time, a  feat not fitting her small physique at all.

With a provocative gaze that doesn’t suit her childish face, she turned towards the Troll monster’s vicinity without it even realizing it.

The other girl with tanned skin,  also showed a dazzling smile.

“I’m glad. The time for me to be useful for Master comes early. Please leave it to me. This one’s pathetic ability is to alter one’s body const.i.tution. Ah, by the way this one is No. 0008.”

When saying so, some kind of aura momentarily ran down her slender child-like arm.
