The Tale of the Teapot Hero's Revenge

The next morning, we just left.

The great tree sea is just close, and the streets feel in the woods.

The white tree that dropped the leaves still grows like this, whispering the sky.

Looking up, it's like he's in a creature's rib.

"That's kind of creepy, even the demons seem to come out"

Beat hugging on my right arm, nodding over and over again.

"It's okay, right? This isn't a tree sea, so it's a decent street."

"Sure, you're safe, aren't you? Everyone from the west uses this road, and the army uses it to transport them."

It's a tone like nothing, Melo, but it comes with a great hug on my left arm.

What, is this kid scared, too?

You went by yourself when you came to Wang Du, didn't you?

Then I walked for a while and wanted to break up.

It's a southwesterly street and a straight path to the sea of trees.

The street leads to the forest exit, and the tree sea leaves thinner and thinner into the dark forest.

Anyone in the street will choose.

"Right this way. You'll know when you see it, but for once."

Joana taking the lead, don't get lost on the southwest road.

I think I did, even if I hadn't decided beforehand.

Naturally, I'll follow.

It's a little hard to walk with a girl holding both sides.

Crap!!

That's when a lot of black shadows popped out of the bushes and surrounded us.

"... Huh!?

"Demons!?

No, you're not.

It's not a demon, it's a human being.

The number is about twenty, lightly dressed and blackened.

Those were the ones who attacked us in the capital the other night.

Something's more than that.

"Oh, my God, the ambush was successful."

Liquino laughs Niyaniya behind his men.

Brilliantly surrounded, we are utterly desperate.

Beato and Melo, shaking, stuck to me more and more.

"Come on, we're all killing-- no, wait. That little girl..."

What the heck, I'm going to see Giro and Beato.

You didn't know about this kid?

But don't turn your dirty eyes on this kid.

"No doubt about it, I struggled to catch it and dedicate it to Karon, that girl. I see. It's all connected."

Karon?

Why did that name come up now?

"Bastards, don't kill that girl. If you put one scratch on it, you'll have to choose your eyes!

Oh, well, definitely.

He knows Beat's qualities.

You mean he caught Beat and turned him over to Caron?

Anyway, now it's time to cut through this pinch.

To Joana, light eye contact.

Look at the Beats tilt, then gaze at the forest exit.

"... Hey, Joana. Twenty while protecting Beato and Melo. Can we go?"

"It could be a little harsh. Ma, I'll try my best... Huh!

Looks like it conveyed its intentions.

After a fake (bluff) conversation, Joana pulled out her dagger and ran towards the exit.

I take Melo aside, and I pull Beato's hand and follow him back.

If you deal with them all directly from the front, you have no winning shot.

Break the siege and run, this is the operation.

"... okay, don't let him go"

... what?

The ones who were building the siege, how they paved the way.

What the hell are you doing?

Are you after something?

But I don't have time to think.

Run through the siege to the forest exit.

"Except I'll have her left behind."

Liquino's voice was heard directly beside him.

Have you chased him yet?

Fast, this guy's too fast!

He pulled out his dagger as he ran beside him and came to slash off my wrist holding Beat's hand.

"... Huh!

"Beat!?

Before that blade reaches me, Beato is forced to wave.

Between the two distant hands, the blade passed through.

"Chip, did you take it off? But...!

"...... Huh!!...... Huh!!

Beato got caught by Liquino.

"You! Beat has nothing to do with it, let go!!

"Kirie, don't stop your legs!

Ugh, how can you run away?

Dirty hands, don't turn your hands on Beat's body!

"Oh scary scary scary. Hey, bastards, you can kill the rest if you want."

"He...... Huh! Give me back my bear!!

Some miscellaneous fish flocked all at once.

Out of the way, Beato's going to be taken away.

"Kirie, if you stay calm!

"Joana, Melo, please"

Put down the girl held aside and entrust it to Joana.

Twenty miscellaneous fish, superior.

"All of you, I'll send you to hell"

Into a herd of water bags, all at once.

Fully open the magic and touch it from one end to the other.

"Guru!"

"Oops!

"Gha-ha!!

"Geez!

Three people touched his stomach scattered their guts, and the left half of his face, which was binta on his cheek, bounced off.

I wonder if you freaked out at the unusual way your people died.

For a moment, the enemy's momentum loosened.

Touch your enemies more and more in the birth gap and boil or burst your body anywhere you want.

"Uh-oh!

With a voice clinging to fear, one man stuck out a knife.

I'll just grip it and grab the boiling guy's face, and I'll turn it into a shield.

A knife pierced Gutsugutsu's flesh and died screaming with heat and pain.

Ha, it feels good.

"Hi-ha, hi-ha, what the heck, he is!

"When you are touched, you die...... eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh!

You're all freaking out.

This one's convenient, let's kill them all at once.

"Temeer and the others, you're not freaking out!

Whoa, again.

With Liquino's voice, the confusion subsided again.

"The brave kid did it this far. Well, he's unexpected. Once we're out of here!

Retreat.

Hey, wait a minute.

I'm taking the miscellaneous fish and running away with the zorro.

Leave Beato alone.

"Stay!! Don't run, fight!!

"...... Huh!!

That kid's reaching this way, too, but it's far away.

Beat, it's far.

"Beatto! Beatto!!

"Calm down, Killier."

Joana held me back.

Let go, Beat will be taken!

"Calm down!!

"... Gu! Ha, ha..."

I know, as much as there's nothing more I can do.

Liquino, holding Beato, with about ten of his surviving men, ran down the road to the tree sea and disappeared.

I can't go after him now, not anymore.

"Beat...... Huh! Damn!!

Kick the head of a molten body in the face as much as you want.

"Damn, damn, damn!!

Behind your shoes, step over and over again.

Even like this, my anger and pity don't go away, but I still can't help bumping my anger.

"I lost sight of him..., Beat took him...!

"I'm telling you to calm down. Calm down for a moment and let your head work."

"... what do you mean?

"Running away, right?"

It was Melo who took over Joana's words.

He seemed to shut up all the time because of the shock of being held by me and the sight of his gut and brain splashing, but you were looking at the situation.

"The escaped direction...... It's about the trees, isn't it?

"Exactly. Beat, if you're just going to take your sister away, it's the king's capital, right, normal?"

"They attacked us only to kill you, Killier the Brave. Beat is nothing but a by-product I stumbled upon."

"... I mean, they're in a tree sea, waiting for us?

"That sort of thing. I know you're coming after me to help Beato. And I've heard it's in Liquino's Ajito, in the sea of trees. We'll have plenty of traps waiting for us, won't we?

Superior, I'll crush all the traps.

Even so, how do you know Liquino's Ajito?

Oh, speaking of which, I was originally an informant.

"I finally get it. Thank you. Then let's just kill them all, Beat, and help them out."

"... hey, are you out of cool?
