Chapter 157 (2/2)

“It’s not an invitation to play by a child, thus…” (Helen)

“I haven’t told a lie” (Reni)

Pulling the cup to herself again, she tastes the tea which has become lukewarm

“Even if ere to fight somewhere, on’t be able to put up any opposition since our nu Thus I think that it’s useless to try” (Reni)

Although one ht say that their nu, the scale is only at the level where it can be called a vigilante corps

Restraining the forces of the hu traps is the best they can do Even if they get dragged into battle with a foreign ene

“To begin with, as long as Swordland is split ay to assist others” (Reni)

“What will you do if the dery over this?” (Helen)

“I think it would be best to run away” (Reni)

“Run away?” (Helen)

When Helen asks “What’s this about?”, Reni answered with “It’s simple”

“The part of us not having the nuht means that our side has few We are also used to the wastelands and forest, right? Thus it will be fine if we hide after running aith everyone during the night” (Reni)

Stretching out her hand towards the re fruit, Reni raises her voice in joy as the one left is her favourite fruit, Bodan

“It’s not like there’s any particular need for us to protect this soil I mean it’s fine for us to create a new city in the forest if we can protect it by ourselves There isn’t any need for our friends to shed their blood for the sake of someone else, is there?” (Reni)

Although she does agree with Reni, it was surprising for Helen that Reni was able to part with this city, which she learned to love, easily

“I believe it would be better if you talked with everyone about that Even if you tell them to abandon the slums all of a sudden, I think that there will be people who can’t ht away” (Helen)

“It’s as you say, Helen Before the deilante corps and check whether the demon-san’s went home properly” (Reni)

Reni heads to the city’s entrance

After looking around in a circle inside the building, Helen let both her rabbit ears hang down

“I wonder whether that means that ill have to abandon this city and this home…” (Helen)

For Helen, who got co that caused painful feelings

Hifu to his territory, entered Vichy by hi and supple his weapons

It was decided that Origa would reimen in both, military and literary arts, for Viine, and that Alyssa would lead Fokalore soldiers while waiting for his return

“Leave them alone” (Hifumi)

With that brief conored Theabout being sent away, came back to Fokalore several days later because he defected while bringing his fa

That’s how much Vichy’s central committee had been driven to the wall

“Please be careful!”

“Aye I leave the rest to you, okay?” (Hifumi)

Leaving Arosel, which is prospering equally to Fokalore, after being destroyed once, he enters Vichy through the new border city Lorn which has turned into a city of athered for the purpose of the soldiers and the money those soldiers spend

The state’s soldiers, ere assigned at that place, know Hifumi’s face as if it’s only natural and thus there’s no need for him to show his permit anymore

Leaving his horse in the care of the border security’s unit, he leisurely departed Orsongrande Even the soldiers on Vichy’s side, who saw that, gave hi eye contact

Several people, who are ca out, sat at the border on Vichy’s side Many of them are merchants, but sporadically people of the common populace can be seen there as well They apparently intend to escape by crossing the national border

When he was advancing leisurely through the area between Vichy and the wastelands just like that, three man jumped out in front of Hifumi

“Soldiers of Vichy, huh?” (Hifumi)

Looking at the si, Hifu uninterested

“What are you doing at this place? Fight against the de” (Hifumi)

Apparently the soldiers of Vichy don’t know about Hifumi They coerced Hifumi with 「It ain’t the ti him

“Listen, hand over your money Your food as well!”

Hifumi looked with cold eyes at thehis face close

“It’s that, eh? The thing that’s called deserter, right? Were you scared of the demons?” (Hifumi)

“You bastard!”

The hand which tried to grab his collar only grasps air, though he was right in front of the man

“Huh?”

He seizes both knees of the ain in that state

The s trapped, severely struck into the ground with the back of his head unable to take any defensive posture

Hifuroaning while holding his head

“What are…!?”

Hifumi silently circles around to the back of the excited soldier atches his colleague faint while foaathers at his mouth

By just lightly pulling his waist belt, the soldier falls on his backside with a thump

Before he coets twisted and broke

“Uwaaaah!”

The last one tries to run away but gets secured by having the nape of his neck grabbed by Hifumi’s left hand

“You saw the deht? Tell me the state of affairs” (Hifumi)

Drawing his katana, he stabs the foa man to death in front of the seized man

Thestabbed without any kind of hesitation, is treree that it even affects his teeth

“I-In the first battle close to half of our side was killed! They should still be fighting at the border after getting reinforcements frole demon could be killed…”

“You got scared and ran away, huh? In which direction is the battlefield?” (Hifumi)

Where the treer of the soldier pointed at was the direction where Hifuo for now

“For a change ht, wasn’t it?” (Hifumi)

Kicking the back of the soldier’s knee, Hifumi makes him kneel

“H-Help…”

“You won’t tell ht?” (Hifumi)

Setting the angle of the blade so that it won’t hit bones, he stabs the soldier’s heart from behind

Wiping the extracted katana, he slowly returns it into the scabbard and fixes his slightly disordered attire

“The festival venue is over there? Though it would be best if it hasn’t ended yet” (Hifumi)

Retrieving a bread with grilled fish sandwiched in fro towards the battlefield while enjoying the aro inside his mouth
