These were words of farewell.
It was a farewell, and a clear declaration of war to the other world.
CH 210
Blue’s Sponsored Chapter (1/5)
After the battle with the High Orc, I ran around the campsite.
Most of the monsters roaming the grounds were goblins, orcs, and shadow wolves.
The current me didn’t even need to blink an eye at this level.
I proceeded to overwhelm them with mass attacks from the item boxes.
I saw Aiba and Rebel a little ahead of me.
It seems that both of them are safe.
A huge pillar of fire rose up around them, burning away the monsters one after another.
I ran over to them and they also seemed to have noticed me.
“Yes, we’ve just declared war on those idiots from the other side.”
“The other side of ?”
“I’ll tell you more later. For now, let’s just destroy the remaining monsters.”
“Oh, wait a minute–“
Without waiting for me to say anything, Rebel charged toward the monster with her huge sword of light in hand.
I wonder if that’s her unique skill, “Divinity”
I guess it can be used not only to block skills, but also to attack.
I looked at Aiba who was left behind.
“Aiba, are you . Okay? Can you stand?”
“Yes, I’m fine.”
Aiba looked extremely exhausted.
“Are you sure your skills are out of control right now?”
“ Yes. Fortunately, she can suppress my ‘reanimation’ with her ‘divine power’.”
Aiba-san then rubbed his chest.
So that means that at least the monsters won’t be reanimated any more.
“Her ‘divine power’ is a technique that completely blocks the use of skills. If she had used it at the time my skills went out of control, we wouldn’t have been flooded with so many monsters. ”
That’s certainly what I was thinking too.
But if you were to completely shut down Aiba’s skills, you would also erase the people who have been “reanimated” so far.
Yes, even Goshogawara’s daughter and wife.
That’s probably why she hesitated to use her skills.
“I’m sure it took her some time to adjust the output of her skills so that it wouldn’t happen I was going to repay the debt, but it seems I’ve created another debt .”
Aiba stood up.
“What about Satsuki and the others?”
“ .They all are probably headed towards the emergency shelter. We’ll head that way too. Can you lend me a hand .?”
“Of course. Oh, can you tell me where it is first?”
I immediately typed the location that Aiba-san gave me into my ‘mail’ and sent it.
And, ‘they’ seem to be closer to the shelter than us.
We hurried to the shelter.
At the same time, Goshogawara Satsuki was running through the woods with her companions.
They avoided fighting the monsters as much as possible and tried to run away.
Thanks to this, the damage was kept to a minimum for now.
“Ha ha ”
But they were nearing their limits.
Her breath was unstable and shaky, and she had little energy left to run.
“Sa, Satsuki-chan, I’m I’m sorry. Mom, can’t anymore.”
The woman who was running behind Satsuki fell to the ground.
That woman was Midori Goshogawara – her mother.
The monsters had not hurt her.
She had simply run out of stamina and was out of breath.
“Mom! Hang in there! We’re almost there!”
“Hah hah I’m sorry but I’m already .”
She must be really at the end of her strength.
She seemed to have a hard time even raising her voice.
Her mother, Midori, chose the profession of “cook”.
Although it is useless in battle, it is indispensable in daily life, it is useful for keeping food fresh and improving its taste and nutritional value.
But on the downside, her status was far inferior to Satsuki and the other combatants.
It was obvious that she would run out of energy faster than anyone else in these situations.
“ I’ll carry you! You guys go ahead!”
The charming guy carried Midori on his back.
But the monsters were not so naive that he could escape with one person.
Suddenly, something wrapped around his leg.
“ ?! What the heck is this ?”
It was a plant, an ivy plant.
He must have accidentally stuck his foot in a bush.
He thought so, and tried to tear it off forcibly, but the ivy did not break off at all.
Instead, it entangled his legs more tightly.
“What the hell is this ? My legs are trapped –no way.”
At this point, he finally realized that this ivy was not just any plant.
Satsuki, who was also running next to him, also noticed something strange.
“Satsuki! Don’t come over here! It’s a plant monster! It has trapped my legs!”
Satsuki was shocked.
There were no signs of monsters at all.
Even now, that ivy plant trapping the charming guy didn’t show any signs of being a monster.
But no matter how you look at it, that action can’t be that of a normal plant.
“There’s a knife in my backpack! I’ll take it out.”
The moment she tried to take the knife out of the backpack, she fell on her back with a loud bang.
The contents of her backpack were also scattered all over the place.
When she looked down, she saw that the ivy was tangled around her legs as well.
“What, is this . I can’t get rid of it? Guh ”
The ivy tightened around her with far more force than she had expected.
In the blink of an eye, her whole body was entangled and she couldn’t move.
~~shsh
What was that monstrous sound now?
Suddenly, a tree that was a short distance away seemed to tremble.
It was a large tree with bright red flowers.
Normally, she wouldn’t be bothered by it at all, but for some reason, the tree seemed terribly creepy to her at that moment.
“Oy, what’s going on?”
“What’s wrong with them?”
The others began to notice something strange.
That’s not good, Satsuki thought.
“Guys! Don’t come over here! This ivy won’t let you escape once you’re bound! If you get caught, you’ll be dragged underground and– huh?”
Then a question popped up in Satsuki’s mind.
Once you’re bound, you can’t get out?
Dragged underground?
This is the first time I’ve seen this monster, so how do I know about it?
“Huh .? This .?”
– – Hon
Something.
Something flashed through her mind.
–No! Please, hel- Quickly– run–
It was a scene of someone trying to help someone else.
Is this a memory?
But whose?
The scene gradually came back to her mind in vivid detail.
Don’t give up, mom! I’ll help you now! No! Don’t worry about me, Satsuki, just run away! No! There’s no way I can just leave my mom and run away! I promise! I’m going to save you!
And then she saw it clearly.
The woman’s whole body was entangled in a giant ivy, and a girl was trying to save her.
It was unmistakably her and her mother.
“–Ah!”
At that moment, a memory that had been forgotten came back to Satsuki’s mind.
It was the first time she saw her mother’s face.
“ Yes, I was eaten .”
Satsuki desperately tried to regain her composure.
‘But, this is the first time I’ve ever seen such a thing.’
The tangled ivy, the tightening pain, the sight of her mother trapped with the charming guy in front of her.
The scene in front of her eyes overlapped with the one from that time.
“Ah ah . ah”
Memory after memory was seared into her brain, bringing back the scars from the past.
