Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

We ran.

Just to live.

Not to die.

To return to the village.

To protect childhood.

Then......

How long has it been since then?

"... Ha, ha... so far, if you come..."

From where the carriage rolled over to quite a distance, I shrug like that.

But Jinlin,

"... le, lento..."

And he said that in a trembling voice, like he was dyed of fear, pointing forward at me.

You're too obvious to be willing to explain again what happened there.

I mean, that evil wolf was there.

He was looking at us with those bloody eyes, but with those eyes that made him feel the will of some cold beast.

It would have been weird to think about it.

With a kid's leg, he couldn't possibly escape such a demon, but he ran quite a bit.

I mean... they were playing.

That wolf demon was playing with us.

I've been watching how far you run, how desperately you run.

It's a terrible story.

Well, still, that's where all that wolf play ends.

I'm tired of saying I didn't show any shadows or shapes until just now, but that's how I showed up in front of you, that's for sure.

I just didn't know that at the time, so I thought I had to run.

But I don't listen to my feet anymore.

Even for Jinlin, I can't seem to move a single step......

There was nothing I could do.

That's not why... I stood in front of a wolf.

Tell me you're not very smart, or it would have been meaningless behavior.

But that's all I could do anymore.

To protect Jinlin.

To connect her life.

If Jinlin escapes while she runs, while I'm being killed there...

That's what I thought.

Spread your hands, stare at the wolf, and tell Jinlin.

"Jinlin, run. I'll take care of this..."

I told him, but Jinlin shook his head.

The wolf was watching.

Whatever happened, I guess I could afford not to let them get away with it anymore.

In fact, I couldn't run anymore.

Whatever I have to sacrifice.

But I didn't know that...

"No! Lent, I...... I!

"Just hurry up! I'm here...!

After a few push-ups like that, and so, he finally got tired of wolves.

He sighed like a sigh, and then raised his arm.

Slowly, slowly.

The tip of that nail was sharp and pointy, and I could still see the blood sticking.

That must have been Pravda, and my parents' blood.

They were pierced, torn apart, they died.

I'll be the same thing in a few seconds...

But that buys Jinlin time to escape.

Then why don't you...

That's what I thought, and I stood there feeling neat.

I was standing there.

I closed my eyes and felt the wind of the wolf waving down my arms, at that moment,

- Tong.

And I felt pushed by something, and I fell.

And the expected nail impact didn't strike forever... and I slowly opened my eyes thinking what the hell.

Then, as far as I could think of, there existed a sight where the worst end, the least I wanted to see.

"... len, t..."

"... Jinlin...?

Pooped, and leaked my voice like a twinkle, Jinlin.

From her mouth, there was dripping blood.

As you shift your gaze down from there, there's something sharp growing around your chest.

... of wolves, nails...

I was supposed to get stabbed.

Jinlin took it instead.

Take it...

Then, slowly, it was pulled out of Jinlin's chest.

Shivering, and blood erupts.

Jinlin's throbbing, he falls to the ground, from which the blood pond spreads.

"... Jinlin... Jinlin!! Hey! Jinlin!!

I rushed over, scrambled.

Wolf?

I didn't care anymore.

I don't care if they kill me.

I thought I'd do it whenever I wanted.

More than that, it's Jinlin.

We have to help her.

So much blood, my face gets whiter and whiter.

How can I not die?

How do I......

But it was just futile to think.

"... Ren, t... sorry, huh? I... already"

"Jinlin... don't... don't talk! He's gonna die... he's gonna die...!!

"To your father and your mother... I'm sorry, tell you... Lent, live... wanted to marry one day, of..."

"Let's... if we live... we can..."

"Heh heh... even if I die, with someone else... Mixed up, you know..."

Death of a person is a shame, isn't it?

So I suddenly lost my strength from Jinlin's body.

So, already...

No matter how much I talked to you, it stopped working.

"Jinlin... Jinlin...! How could you...!

That's where I screamed.

I really didn't care about everything anymore.

They asked for a message, but we have a wolf demon in front of us anyway, and there's nothing we can do about it.

It blew me out for better or worse.

So I picked up the rolling bar slice and set it up.

Towards the wolf.

It's a stupid act.

I don't know how to win.

Even though it's much more likely you'll survive if you honestly run away.

It's just that if you're going to die anyway, I figured that's when I was going to fight and die.

So I...

The wolf stared at me like that with funny eyes, turning his body over here from a sloppy stand-up earlier to a sort of setup aimed at the score.

I knew it was like that until just now, to say it was appropriate or to say I was playing, so I figured it out.

I don't know why, when I set it up, I made it into a decent fight, but maybe there was that wolfish aesthetic.

In person... I don't know until I ask the book wolf.

So I shook my stick and headed for the wolf.

Even though the structure was unusual, the way it was shaken up was terrible, and the speed at which it ran was about as good.

Not very much, but it wasn't like being able to stand up to demons.

But that's nothing. I'm glad.

I'm not going to fight.

One way or the other, I was going to die.

Wolves don't know if they figured it out, they looked like they were having fun, then they opened their mouths wide and came this way.

Is that going to shatter me?

I thought so, but it wasn't horrible.

In front of me, the wolf's wide open mouth looms.

In there, it might be soft.

Even a wooden stick could be scratched.

That's what I thought, and I switched from being a stick swinging down to poking it and stretched it forward.

Unexpectedly, the wooden bars were scratched just a little like plundering the wolf's gums.

It was a shame, the wolf was too distracted, or on purpose... I didn't know that.

But I checked it out, and I was satisfied.

You paid off with one arrow, I think.

And I was ready to be shattered by the wolf's fangs, and I lost my strength.

Oh, it's over.

That's when I thought so.

- Kickin!!

The sound prevented the wolf's fangs.
