Chapter 48: The Bee Unable to Fly 3
We all get to know the humanoid Insectoid Hanenashi
-x-x-x-x-x-
Hanenashi said that she cannot call her friends, but what should that mean?
"We flap our wings to send the scent to our companions. But I can't do that because I was born with very short wings."
As she said, the wings on her back seem too short to flap so strongly.
"See? It's not dangerous."
"Well, in that case..."
With Piyo's words, Filiana put her sword back into its hilt.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"We are all on a journey, each with their own purpose"
Sharin answers Hanenashi's question.
"Really? Then I will guide you out of our territory."
We followed her through the forest. Then, suddenly, as if struck by lightning, she stopped.
Piyo looks at her with a worried look.
"Oh no, my friends are under attack!"
"Friends? They are being attacked, where?"
Looking around, there was no specific change in the environment. Is this the scent she was talking about earlier?
"It's dangerous, so let's take a small detour."
"What? Are you sure? Don't we need to go help your friends?"
Hanenashi had a worried expression after hearing Filiana's words.
"But it's dangerous. You don't know what's there."
"Your friends are under attack, you need to go help them!"
After hearing Piyo's words, we changed course and headed towards the place where Hanenashi's friends were being attacked.
When they arrived at the destination, several honey bees, all quite similar to Hanenashi, were surrounding a single object that was at least one size larger than Hanenashi. The color and shape of the body is similar to that of a honey bee, but it looks more spiny and aggressive.
"We call them Killer Bees. As the name suggests, they are scary creatures that kidnap my friends and attack people. They are a warrior species."
The difference in strength was clear, and although they resisted desperately with spears in their hands, several had already been killed.
"See? It's scary. I'm no match for them."
"But we have to help! I'm sure you think so too, Hiro."
Thinking that we could do something since there is only one of them, we took our weapons and attacked the Killer Bee.
