Chapter 122 (1/2)

122. Demon Subjugation 4

”We'll return with [Transfer]” (Mitsuha)

” ” ” ”Eh…” ” ” ” (The Bunch)

Hearing my words, the count family member starring dagger at me.

Well, is it because the setting about my life force? But here, I'll have to…

”My naïve thoughts had put you at risk and injured the escorts. They cannot walk for hours in this state. We will return to Bozes House by [Transfer]. After that I'll send Hunter-san to Colette Village” (Mitsuha)

”Like I said, Mitsuha, That's not the name of the village…” (Colette)

I ignored Colette-chan's protest. If you repeat it over and over, it will surely be taking root. Continuation is Power.

However, Colette-chan and Sabine-chan were quiet during the battle. Or rather, they couldn't do anything. …I also the same though.

It might be a little help if we shot at the ogre's face with the handgun, even though it was weak. If we successfully hit its head from between its covering arms, we could have defeated it or at least blown its eyes.

But it was no good.

I couldn't move at all.

Even though I can shoot the Ancient Dragon properly back then…

The ancient dragons were Intelligent. I heard that they were more intelligent than human in this world. I don't know why, but there was something like a sense of reasoning, since they can negotiate with human. But still, they think of human as a bug, despite being a predator.

Ogres, on the other hand, are pure beasts. A ferocious ma.s.s driven by violence and desire. My body was unable to move due to its fresh smell of death. Perhaps Sabine-chan and Colette-chan too. Even if you able to shoot a human from distance, when you face a monster at close range, you will not be able to move due to fear.

… I was naïve. I was stupid. Even the thought of using transfer disappeared from my head, and almost killing Sabine-chan, Colette-chan, and the three Wolf Fang.

The Count and co.? I think they would be fine. The Ogres would have been annihilated easily, even without us.

Aaaaaaa, s.h.i.t, s.h.i.t, s.h.i.t! How stupid of me!!

(Note: Wow, Mitsuha, no cursing!)

”It's decided, there will be no change” (Mitsuha)

I hid my raging feeling with a blank face. Also, Count-sama and Iris-sama who keeping silent with the same blank face. Normally, I want to scream on top of my lung.

…I guess they can read my feeling.
