Chapter 91: Camus’ Resolve

“Well…”

Jin-u, the observer, stared at the situation with his eyes wide open in surprise He turned his head slowly toward Hiiro

“Oi, it’s over” (Hiiro)

“N-no way…chief…” (Jin-u)

“Are you listening?” (Hiiro)

“Chief…” (Jin-u)

He doesn’t see at all

“…Huh, guess I’ve no choice” (Hiiro)

Hiiro shrugged as he sheathed his sword He then slowly moved towards Camus The sand needles that surrounded Caround Camus, who seemed to be supported by the needles, collapsed on to his knees

“Oi” (Hiiro)

“……” (Camus)

Camus lifted his face and made eye contact with Hiiro His face was expressionless as usual, yet, his eyes were clouded with tears It was certain that he was still mortified by his loss

“Disappointed?” (Hiiro)

“…Mortified” (Camus)

“Well, that’s because I’” (Hiiro)

“I’” (Camus)

“Even so, you lost to me” (Hiiro)

“I…I wasn’t serious yet” (Camus)

“Even so The one who lost this battle was you” (Hiiro)

“……” (Camus)

Hiiro picked up the pair of swords nearby and tossed it back to Camus

“You said it before, right? You’ll protect your tribe” (Hiiro)

“……un…” (Camus)

“That includes all of the children that adore you as well, right?” (Hiiro)

“Of course” (Camus)

“But if you keep going like this, they’ll die in the near future” (Hiiro)

“N-no way! I’ll protect them!” (Camus)

“Even though you lost to me?” (Hiiro)

“That…that’s because…that…” (Camus)

Unable to come up with a reasonable excuse, Camus lowered his head

“You’re not protecting them” (Hiiro)

“…eh?” (Camus)

“Even if you say you’re protecting theer” (Hiiro)

“…then what should I…do?” (Camus)

“Don’t be naive Think for yourself” (Hiiro)

“…”

As Ca a depressed expression, Hiiro could not stand seeing hian to involuntarily speak as on his mind

“If it werein my way” (Hiiro)

“Eliminate…obstacles? All of them?” (Camus)

Camus looked at Hiiro with a startled expression

“Aa, all of theive it to anyone Therefore, I won’t let anyone take anything away fro” (Hiiro)

Hiiro and Camus looked at each other The silence between them lasted for a moment Then, unlike before, Camus’ eyes lit up with life

“…Name, can you tell it to me?” (Camus)

“……Hiiro Hiiro Okamura” (Hiiro)

“Hiiro…Hiiro…it’s Hiiro Un…I’ll remember it” (Camus)

Camus looked at Hiiro with a sincere expression

“I’m…Camus” (Camus)

“I know But you’ll be called twin-blade” (Hiiro)

“Muh…Call me Camus” (Camus)

“I refuse If you want to be called that, then nize you” (Hiiro)

“Recognize…?” (Camus)

At that moment, two children from the crowd ran towards the two

“Camus Camus~!” (Child A)

“Are you okay?” (Child B)

“Kora~ Your next opponent is me !” (Child C)

The children, wanting to protect Calared at Hiiro with animosity

“Chief, are you okay?” (Child C)

“Un You guys…should stop” (Camus)
