"Hey, are you sure you're okay?This guy... he's a Rokkai Noja, right? "

"Oh, I can't believe it... but I don't know why it's okay to talk about the boss..."

"But if this bug exposes us..."

"That's why the boss told us to hit this bucket and Kojiro, and we should leave immediately and surround the woods to prevent them from escaping.And if this demon tribe is defeated, Kojiro is not free... we are the ones who are responsible for Kojiro... "

"But why does this bug grow up and listen to you?"

"I don't know... the route is strictly confidential... and I wonder why this bug who has been working with the Empire until recently is so fucked up, and if we know it in vain, we might be in danger."

"Ah, we're just as good as the boss says we should keep these people out of this forest, right?I've been instructed to listen to that order, too. "

"Hmm? From the woods? But aren't there ninja warriors chasing owls and kojiro from Japone?If they show up by accident, they'll do it...? "

"You mean you don't mind being a sidekick? It's scary."

"Either way, I want to get out of here quickly... so much pressure to just be around..."

"But, Kojiro... it would be great if you could take the reward off my neck... and crush the disturbing Kojiro with this bug..."

"Hmm? Hey, wait a minute... did this bug react to anything?"

According to Espi, among the large number of people like Hunter, a little girl is mistaken.

If you just say "little girl...", imagine something cute, such as an old espionage or an amae.

However, if the word "nine tails" is added to it, it becomes a bug at once.

"Well, why would he do that?"

"I don't know... but... it must have caused Kojiro to fall back..."

More than a thousand hunters, they want to avoid combat.

That's Noja, one of the legendary Six Heights.

But....

"But why? After all, Noja's on the Union side, right?Uncle Ben and I were investigating the ruins... and what do you mean? "

"I don't know... I just... I was curious to know from a distance that Noja... seemed kind of weird."

"What? That guy's weird from the start, right?You're a pervert, right? "

"That's not true! I don't know... something... yeah, it feels different from the Noja I've been seeing before... even if I skip Oniichan..."

From my point of view, Noja is originally a strange guy, but if Espi says he met Noja once in a while after the war, then so be it.

But then what happened?

"Ha ~... Noja... I didn't know that Rokkai's... impossible monster had stopped..."

"But why, with the hunter? What about the other demons?"

Yes, I don't understand the situation.No, in the first place, it includes the situation of the Kagellos and the Kojillos.

Besides, I don't even know where the cozillos who turned their heels...

"I can't say anything more than I haven't seen it... and it's ambiguous that something's wrong..."

Traina can't judge anything by just talking about the current Espi.

I'm in trouble.

I wouldn't know if I hadn't checked it out, but I don't want to get anywhere near it....

"Anyway, I think we should meet with Kojiro Han once..."

"I see... oniichan, on the radar..."

That's right. For now, I can't help it.

First of all, with the cozillos...

"Gagggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"

"" "" Hmm!!?? ""

Now, with a sudden and intense wind, something shouted madly, and we were suddenly about to be softened.

"Hmm... what?"

"That was....."

"I'm trembling...."

"... I don't know... what's going on..."

The shock and scream made my ear kick.

I just don't know what happened, but I know who the crazy screams are right now.

And....

The air has changed... the spearhead... over here!Stupid... at this distance... the smell of someone else I know... has grown in the last decade or so?Either way...!?

"... eh?"

I found out, kid! Your presence is on him!Hurry up and get away from here... "

At that time, the next moment I snapped at the words that Traina shouted in a hurry, the huge earth smoke that exploded in the distant land rose, and something linearly momentum, knocking down the trees of the forest and coming here like a shell....

"Yabe---"

"Ugh! Fluffy Escape!!"

At that time, before I finished saying, "Yabe," the trees in front of our breathing eyes were also knocked down, and nine tailed bugs appeared, with bloody eyes and teeth peeled out from their little mouths, with their hands shining with the sharp claws of the beast.

"Nah, nah!?"

"What the hell!?"

Before thinking "ripped apart", "eaten to death" or "dead", the Espi made us jump out of the scene with our abilities, avoiding crazy bugs.....

"Noja! What are you doing! Fluffy panic!"

"Gyaaaaaaaaaa!!"

"Hmm!?"

The Espi attempted to launch an attack while evading.But before that, he smote the abdomen of the Espi as if the tail of Nojah were a whip, and cut down the trees of the Espi as it was, and kept it far away.

"Ugu... cumming... it's Tata... Noja's... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, oniichan!Chieftain! Get away! "

Shit.

"Espi!?"

The espionage was spoiled. No, he's fine.

Noja is right in front of me!

"Here, this... breakthru!"

Gyaaaaaaa!

"Uh-oh!?"

Noja tried to stab me with a clawed knife against me who aggressively triggered a breakthrough.

Step-by-step... but... if it was a moment too late, it would definitely have pierced my heart.

Noja's eyes... sure are insane... brainwashed!?Stupid, you think you're dealing with Noja?Anyone who can do that... no wonder they used some ancient tools!?But who!? '

Brainwash?

"Run, chief! Hurry, to the Espi!"

"Eh, ah, but...."

No, not if you're thinking about it.They'll kill you like this.

"The Great Devil Sonic Flicker!"

"Gugaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

"Eh... ghh!?"

The shock waves fired by the flicker... were all played with the tail defense that was launched with Noja's shouting, and at the same time Noja grabbed my head with a small hand with a pointed nail, and then he hit me with the tree...

"Haha!?"

Behind my head!? Tree!? I got hit. The trees are broken, not good!

"It's... the Great Demon Spiral!"

"Gah!?"

Anyway, I let go of my selflessness.

The giant vortex rose to the sky to mop up the surrounding forest trees.

But before being swallowed by the vortex, Noja ran away from me and out of the vortex in an instant.

"Uh-oh!"

Noja, who is still insane, is staring at me in the beast's four-legged walking style, drooling with salivation from her mouth, as she stops the spiral and recovers her posture.

"Damn it... I can't believe I won't let my touching reunion go away... but... this is..."

Noja face-to-face.

Reunion for the first time in more than a decade.

It used to be a huge fox, but the human figure hasn't changed since the time of the textbook or the arrangement in the past.

And this is not the first time I've ever fought Noja myself, and I've experienced his wind and forest volcano.

But....

Children, let's get through this now.And I never thought I'd go where I used to be... and Noja's level is much better than when I knew it... and... above all... "

"Ahh... I know."

Traina's right, it's not what it used to be.That's not simple strength.

You're killing me.

At that time, Noja was interested in you confronted as a lagerman, observing, trying, playing... there was a gap.But now Noja..... "

Yes, in a way, it's my first time.

Fighting "Noja", who is out of his mind and has no intention of killing,

It's just....

It's not the first time I've fought the "Rokkaha", which relentlessly rages out of my mind.
