The unexpected shout with the blows from the short hilted axes came to me, fortunately I was able to jump backwards so only one piece of my shirt was torn, but nothing close to it.
-I'm trying to kill me!? - I shouted, feeling worried by the evil smile of the opponent, currently in front of me is one of the "trio" of the class, Takashi.
-Gaido has allowed us to use weapons, otherwise it would be fine if we didn't cause serious injuries or kill each other.- Smiling at the subjective voice, Takashi spun the ax continuously as he matured. it, but has only been summoned since yesterday
-You might be wondering my skills, why are you so skilled. Actually, this skill I learned from him, hehe, how do you feel?
I almost ignored what Takashi said at the time and focused on analyzing our situation now and thinking of ways to deal with it. As I thought, if there was Takashi, the other two of the trio would be here, Kaito was struggling with Yoshiro and Okiha, but with his big battle ax, just one sweep would be enough to make both of them. they have to jump back. The biggest problem right now is how to sinki and retreat.
-Don't ignore me! -Giving me no more time to think, Takashi rushed in and threw an ax at me.
The ax was rushed in just to warn it, so it just flew past me, but it was enough for me to be "super lost soul". I jumped back, took a deep breath and summoned my sword. The moment Takashi finished summoning the ax in his right hand, I managed to catch it, but then he kicked it into his stomach. Even so, with the "experience" from the same phase, I tried to hold my balance in an instant and grabbed Takashi's leg with his left hand and his {Set} fell to his knees.
-Sorry! - Although not a logical statement, at least it makes sense when I intend to kick Takashi's face in order for him to faint.
But then he caught my foot again.
-Hey! Really !? Can't you kick another place?
-Who was the one who almost killed me in the first place !? Ouch!
{Php} Takashi pulled my foot and I fell down, but before I could touch the ground, I could still kick his face with the other leg, causing him to lose consciousness.
-Sorry! I'm really sorry! - I apologized as if shouting at him, while trying to stand up to run towards Sinki.
-Kaito! Buy me some time! - I shouted as I ran behind Kaito
-Yes! Just leave it to me!
Running to Sinki, I jumped up and cut the string and freed him.
-Is it okay, Sinki? - I asked
-I feel like ... Oeeee! - the fact that being suspended in the middle made Sinki dizzy
-Ne! Don't throw up here! Kaito it's time to cut their tails! - I help Sinki to retreat and give orders to Kaito
-Understood! Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhhh-that, shouting, smashing the battle ax to the ground made a huge vibration and caused the boulders to protrude between us and the "trio".
- Where's my hiding place? - I kept rolling my eyes to find where I could hide in
-Yes!
Right after that, we escaped into a nearby bush. Takashi, Okiha and Yoshiro made a detour to reach us, if we were to be late, we could be seen.
-Where are they running? How fast are they? - Takashi seems to be depressed
-No, surely they're still here, with Sinki getting dizzy they probably can't run right away. Search around. - Yoshiro said
-Dammit! They are about to find us. What should we do, Kazuto? - Kaito whispered to me
-No longer left. Kaito, I will distract them, you and Sinki will retreat to the camp.
-What about you?
-Don't worry, I'll be able to get them back when they're cut off. Now then ....- I jumped out, sprinting quickly towards the mountain -.... Hey! If you are good, try catching it.
-Kazuto! Catch him!
As I rushed away, Kaito helped Sinki back to the camp as planned. By the time they arrived at the camp, it was already evening. At that time, the sun could only see a small part like a small flame of a candle going out.
-UMBRELLA! Kaito- Mika ran to Kaito and Sinki- Why are you two back now? Where is Kazuto?
-We were careless, so we were discovered by group 2. Then Kazuto had to distract the "trio" and we escaped.
-Really....
-What's going on? Why only the two of you? - then Rin and the others came forward
-Sorry! We ruined it. - Sinki bowed
-So Kazuto is captured.
-That we don't know.
-Dammit! There was no information at all and there was still a loss .-- Rin clenched her fist and gritted her teeth, she was angry right now but in the end, she calmed down- Whatever came Come, you two take a rest, tomorrow we will discuss tactics.
At that time, for me, I was able to cut off the "trio" by cutting down a large tree with a sword and quickly jumping on a nearby tree.
"Where is he?" Takashi asked, bewildered
-Haizz! Tired, unable to catch her-- Okiha sighed and sat down
- At least we can stop them, it's almost dark, let's go back. - Yoshiro still calmly ordered.
-Oh! - both of them simultaneously turned back
I waited for them to go out of sight before I jumped down. Originally, I intended to go back but then thought differently. I decided to climb up the Leviota mountain right in front of me with the intention to spy on group 2 from above. As soon as I had that thought, I jumped up, grabbed the protruding rock and started climbing. Because I've never climbed a mountain before, so I climbed very slowly, by the time I got close to the flat rock, the sun was almost completely gone. Suddenly, the sound of the stone breaking from the stone I was holding was enough for me to understand that I was about to be in danger of death, if not by someone's arm pulling me up, I would not know what happened. , but I can still use magic to keep myself from falling.
-Fish! Thank you! - I thank the person who helped me while I was still gasping for breath
-Nothing! Who are you and what are you doing here? - the person in front of me is now a girl about my age, with a serious face with long black hair, she wears a short white Yukata, a band. hoso obi is around the waist and wearing a thin hooded coat. Her right hand held a katana with a silver scabbard.
-I'm Kazuto, a student of Surima High School. And you?
-I'm Miyuki. Monster hunter.
-Monster hunter?
-Yes! What is a student like you doing here?
-We are on a practice trip.
-.... So that's it- Miyuki whispered something- So this group of campers at the foot of the mountain should be your friends right?
-That's right, where did you see them?
Miyuki pointed behind her, which was a flat, slightly protruding rock surface.
-I've answered your question, now you have to answer me.- Your unnerving seriousness makes me feel reluctant to answer, though it's quite normal
-OK! So what do you want to ask?
-Do you see any demons running around here?
- Quy Quy?? - I feel really strange because according to everyone at the inn, the demons in this forest have been "wiped out" a few years ago.
-Well! - Miyuki just nodded slightly as if it was normal - that demon came from the mountains over there, I hunted it down so it ran over here.
"I see" - I thought
-If you don't see it, I have no reason to ask. Goodbye.
Before I could say another word, Miyuki slipped down the mountain and fled into the forest. Her manner of speaking and mannerisms reminded me of Rin.
-They're like a pair of heaven-born. - I made a joke even just for myself to hear
After thinking for a while about what the demon hunter was and where it was different from the adventurers, I stopped and went to the position of the rock top Miyuki pointed at. Their camp is no different from us, the only special thing is that they freeze around the flagpole so that it is harder to draw. Besides, there are 2 "guards" alternately guarding the flagpole. Also at that time, I heard the group 1 discussed the plan.
-Remember, when Group 2 attacked, Yoshiro, Takashi, and Okiha would raid their camp. Surely they will be surprised.
After listening to them discuss their plans, I decided to return to my group's camp. At that time, the moon was high and the sky was only left there is a little light left by the sun.
