Chapter 179 - Volume 9 (2/2)

‘Who is that I wonder? Anyway, I am really curious about who it is.’

“Gau gau”

“…………..”

Onzada, who had been discussing something with Geass, nodded and ran deeper into the forest.

…Oh, his footprints are glowing. It’s like Laplace’s ‘rabbit guide’ mode, so something must be going on in that direction.

A few minutes of running again…….. Onzada’s short legs do not give him that much speed, but after moving just a few dozen kilometers, Noa and Nia suddenly come closer to me.

“Even I can smell it now especially when we’ve come this close.”

“Yeah. I wonder if this is a hint of … Fer, Min, and Sarah?”

“Are those three people there?”

‘What kind of combination is that? I think Fer and Min are going on an errand and Sarah is their escort. People who are very close – do they have similar body odors when they are together all the time I wonder?’

“Yeah. They are probably being attacked by the rebel.”

“…………”

‘You should have told me that earlier!’

“So, shall I go ahead and do it?”

“Yeah…….No, let’s wait a bit.”

I nodded at Noa’s suggestion with a devilish smile and stopped him in a hurry.

‘I’m afraid I will really lose my cool when the people who were around me since birth get into a tight pinch…….’

Her thoughts, which had become much more demonic ever since she was far away from the people dear to her, have changed to become much more humane the moment she returned home.

“It’s bad to be taken as a hostage…… I’m going to distract them and catch them by surprise.”

Not slowing down at all, we hurried to the scene, muffling our footsteps and erasing signs of our presence. ‘I’m really bad at hiding so I can’t increase my speed anymore than this.’

‘Ah…… I found them. Maybe it is because we were able to find them so quickly that all three seem to be perfectly unharmed and safe, although they are currently surrounded by five soldiers.’

………..I felt a little bit of a pang at the sight of the faces I had missed so much.

They seem to be in a plight, but it doesn’t seem like a desperate situation yet.

“Stop.”

I immediately stopped Nia and Tina, who was about to spring out. I was the only one who quietly approached them.

“And if you’re going to call it a betrayal, how about the saints at your place? It has been two years and I have not heard from her. Didn’t she also betray you and defect to some country?”

“That is not true!”

“Master Yuru fought for the world!”

I have already come this close to them, but surprisingly no one noticed me yet.

“Then why hasn’t she come back yet? If what you guys said is true and she didn’t defect to another country, then it could only mean she either lost and ran away or died.”

“Master Yuru will not be defeated! She will definitely come back for us.”

“Yes.”

After a couple seconds, everyone there began to pale frightfully and sweat coldly, and their faces quietly turned to me.

“I have returned.”

“S-she’s here! Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

I wonder am I some kind of a tsuchinoko or something.
