V4C101 (1/2)

(101) To move forward or to retreat?

As I was sent flying, while turning upside down, confirming Haru’s safety came first.

Instead of getting flung into the air, it seemed like Haru leaped into the air on her own to avoid it so it looked like she wasn’t hurt.

Suzuki … was like me, checking that Haru and I were safe.

While upside down, I ordered Haru.

“Haru, can you destroy the wooden stick that Centaur is chasing after!”

“Jofre-san is in the way so ― ”

“Oi Jofre! Break the stick above Centaur!”

Perhaps my voice reached him, Jofre unsheathed his sword and cut the wooden stick.

As the carrot fell to the ground and Centaur ate it, the runaway train or rather, the runaway donkey finally stopped.

It seemed like I was about to fall on my head so I balled myself up to fall down safely.

I was surprised that my body didn’t hurt at all.

“Ha, we survived … Eh? Why is Jo here?” (TL: They nicknamed Ichinojo as Jo.)

“It’s been a long time Jo! Are you taking a stroll?”

Jofre finally noticed my presence.

Elise, nobody will ever take a stroll at a place like this.

“Brother, please wait!”

“Milky, strengthen the barrier more! Monsters are coming from behind!”

” ― This is my limit … leaving that aside.”

From the same direction that Jofre and Elise came from, two boys and one girl about the age of high school students came running.

The black-haired boy was carrying a large amount of golden wool for some reason.

The girl who was running the furthest behind seemed to have noticed me first.

I guess those people were the ones Suzuki said where with Jofre.

The girl who was maintaining the barrier the furthest behind must definitely be the niece of the Cat-user man.

… She’s a pretty cute girl.

“Leaving that aside, two new men … fufu, fufufufufufu.”

Scary!

What’s with her? That girl burst out laughing when she saw me and Suzuki.

“You all are Milky-san, Julio-kun and Sutchino-kun right? I came to help due to Milky-san’s uncle’s request.”

Suzuki gave a refreshing smile to reassure the three of them.

It can’t be helped with the current situation but if it was during normal times, it was a refreshing smile that made me want to strike him from behind.

“By the way, Jofre, what happened exactly? Don’t tell me you guys are the reason why the monsters are appearing?”

“It wasn’t us. I don’t know what exactly but the Korat agents did something like 『Gaban』 and 『Dogan』.” (TL: Those are onomatopoeia.)

… I don’t really understand but if I remember correctly, Korat is the enemy of Dakyat.

“I’ll explain.”

Milky stepped forward.

Eh? Even though she wasn’t injured just awhile ago,

“Are you alright? Your nose is bleeding.”

Suzuki examined Milky’s face.

“She’s fine. That is something like an illness of hers. Right, Julio.”

“Yeah, an illness. It’s not due to an injury.”

Sutchino and Julio nodded to each other.

A … sickly girl?
