Chapter 84 (2/2)
To the 『Ashura Tribe』, relations within the clan came before all else, and they respected their dead more than anyone When one died, they believed that, while the body became an empty husk, the soul wold return to the clan They were unable to abandon their grave along with the desert
“Then can’t you just take that grave marker with you?” (Hiiro)
“Don’t speak the impossible Do you think we could violate our precious treasure like that!?” (Man)
Well, once you’ve buried ahim up to move him
“And preventing you fro is also for your sake! You’re no match for that monster! If you don’t want to die, then leave quickly!” (Man)
“I refuse” (Hiiro)
“… What?” (Man)
Hiiro’s pro, but moreso was the fact that it was a refusal
“Why must I, for some monster I’ve never even met, abandon the road I came down?” (Hiiro)
“W-weren’t you listening to what I was saying!? I don’t care whatsoever if you’re killed by thatif that e!?” (Man)
“Hht?” (Hiiro)
“Wha… Y-you can only say that because you’ve never seen it! It’s to late to run once you’ve gotten it angry!” (Man)
“I’ll say it as etting in our e’ll cross blades too” (Hiiro)
“Dammit!” (Man)
The Saave Hiiro, ouldn’t listen to a word he was saying, a scornful glare But the boy by his side simply silently looked in Hiiro’s direction And he put his hand on the er
“C-chief…?” (Man)
“… Stand back” (Boy)
“U-understood” (Man)
Following the boy’s words, the man stepped back
“Oy, Aka-Loli As I said, I’ll be the one taking him down” (Hiiro)
“… Fine by ” (Liliyn)
“What?” (Hiiro)
The boy returned the swords in his hand to their sheathes
“What are you doing? Are you saying we can pass?” (Hiiro)
The boy silently stares at Hiiro again And he quietly opens his mouth
“Are you going… no matter what?” (Boy)
“Yeah, taking a detour would be a pain” (Hiiro)
“… Got it Then… I follow” (Boy)
“What?” (Hiiro)
“C-chief! Are you sure?” (Man)
The man raises an alarht nod, showing his intent
“… Understood Then I’ll return, and inform our comrades of these events” (Man)
“Yes… be careful” (Boy)
“Yes Then” (Men)
After the saain
“Introduction… late I… Camus I’m the『Ashura Race』… Chief” (Camus)
(TL: If you didn’t know, Camus is pronounced Kale ‘How do you pronounce Camus?’)
By his disinterested expression, and his youth, one wouldn’t think hie conflicted with his appearance, looking at a boy that looked to be of a sie to himself, Hiiro couldn’t help but doubt his chiefhood
“Now, I’ll take you… to home There… please determine” (Camus)
“Determine What?” (Hiiro)
“… Monster’s… terror” (Camus)
For the first ti h Camus appeared to be devoid of emotions, he harbored quite a resentment for the monster
Hiiro crossed his ar the 『Ashura Tribe』’s settleoals of this journey It would be beneficial if they had someone to lead theuard
“Isn’t it fine?” (Liliyn)
Liliyn said as such, so Hiiro directed his gaze to the others Silva nods with a slight s by Liliyn’s side, and it seems that her mind was unable to keep up with the sudden development
Putting the maid aside, it seems the other till folloithout co the opponent, she should be able to take theroup
“Got it Then I’ll have you be our guide” (Hiiro)
The boy nods, turns his back to Hiiro’s group, and starts walking His et into rank and file behind him, and quietly follow
(A th)
The strong Ca such an attitude, so theferocious and uncontrollable, even for him
As they walked, Hiiro approached Silva to see if he had any relevant infor Liliyn’s ansas the same
“But doesn’t it sound interesting? Things like this aren’t bad for entertainment” (Liliyn)
“You’re one to talk, after you holed yourself into that ” (Hiiro)
“Mu… listen here, brat! I only stayed there to accoet that!” (Liliyn)
Liliyn insisted this while pointing her finger at Hiiro, but Hiiro closed his eyes halfway, and let out a light sigh
“More iuy look from your perspective?” (Hiiro)
“Hmm? So you want to know? Hm?” (Liliyn)
An irritating shtly pissed off
“Just answer the question” (Hiiro)
“Hht? I think he at least has the power to back the title” (Liliyn)
“So he has so of that level?” (Hiiro)
“Don’t play dumb Since you also use a katana, you should understand that better than I” (Liliyn)
Right After seeing Carasp of it Neither side was serious, but still, it was apparent that he had a considerable amount of power
“In regards to physical ability alone, you wouldn’t stand a chance And his ood that you didn’t 1v1 him there” (Liliyn)
Liliyn rin as she speaks
“Quite joking around If we fought, I would have won” (Hiiro)
“Kukuku Where does that confidence come from… Well, when that battle actually comes to pass, make sure to entertain me Kukuku” (Liliyn)
Her phrasing th It’s true that she said she was acco him to find out his secrets, and to reveal his identity The feeling of having her stare at hiht wasn’t a nice one It felt as if he was being strip naked, and examined
(Come at me if you will I’ll look for a time when this one isn’t around)
With that decision, Hiiro stared at Camus’s back as he walked ahead
