Chapter 26 Kano Tribe II - Usha's Secret

"Tsk, I didn't expect those bitches to come with such a huge army, we can't lose anyone in these desperate times," Usha said gaining the attention of everyone present in the meeting room.

Nikol was confused about what was happening for a minute,

"Alva, what's happening here?" Nikol asks with a low sound so as not to disturb their important conversation.

She had an uncomfortable face since she heard about the Kano tribe, Nikol thought it was some touchy subject to her but, she suddenly muttered to him,

"Kano tribe is a human tribe like us, remember when you first came here, we suspected you to be a Kano member,"

"They were a friendly tribe with us before the disappearance of the goddess but after it happened, they suddenly started attacking us," Alva told him making Nikol even more confused.

"Well, if we are all humans, then why do we have to fight?" Nikol asked from her.

"I don't know, it honestly doesn't make sense but they keep attacking us,"

Nikol listened to Alva's words but for him, none of them made sense because if they are the last group of humans, why don't they get together and find a solution instead of battling like this?

He didn't interrupt their meeting any longer as he kept listening to the information given by them.

According to Usha, she placed some spies near the area of the road which lead to the Kano tribe and they gave her information about their huge army.

Ron and Kano tribes didn't battle often, as it took a lot of lives of people but when they do mostly all two tribes go all out to solve it damaging the already lacking human resources. Even though they had skirmishes here and there, none of them caused both tribes to go all out like right now.

It's basically Ron or Kano tribe survival if they battle right now but the advantage was on the side of the Ron tribe for some reason.

"Basically, it's all-out war, we should gather our troops and get ready," One of the elders said gaining nods from the others.

"When will they arrive here?" Another one asked from Usha.

"Most likely, two days or three days," Usha said while looking at the girls standing behind her.

"We have enough time to get ready, This time Ron will get rid of Kano for sure,"

They talked about a few other things before ending the meeting. Elders didn't stay long as they went back to their relevant positions. Usha and the other leaders, who were given tasks by Usha stayed to discuss strategies.

Alva looked incredibly discouraged for some reason, Nikol had no idea why she was like this. Usha was too busy to notice her differences so, Alva left the room without staying for the strategy meeting.

Nikol followed her and caught up to her,

"Why are you running away, Alva'

"What happened to you, tell me? You look really depressed right now," Nikol asked from her.

"I don't understand, why are we killing each other, when we are supposed to help each other in this hard time, I know this is naive but, why do we have to kill each other," Alva asked looking at Nikol.

"Alva, why do you think they are fighting like this?" He wanted to know what caused their conflicts.

Nikol knew this all started when the goddess stop responding to their wishes but, if it's like that then why did they start conflict instead of finding a solution together.

Nikol thought about the possible outcomes but, in the end, they were just assumptions.

"I don't know, my mother might know but, she won't tell me, she said I will get to know about those things when I become the chief," Alva said.

Nikol wanted to ask about it from Usha but, if she didn't tell her own daughter, why would she talk about it with a stranger like him, Nikol thought about it.

"Let's request from her, she might tell you if we ask from her sincerely," Nikol convinced her to talk with Usha.

Alva nodded her head as she went back to the meeting room, just to see Usha busy with some war planning. She didn't want to disturb her but, her curiosity took the best of her.

"Chief, I want to talk with you for a minute," Alva said gaining the attention of everyone.

"I'm busy now, let's talk later daughter," She responded to her.

"Chief, why don't you go and talk with her at the same time, you can take a rest, you have been working non-stop, we need you in your best condition for the war," One of the attendees said while grabbing her shoulders to show their worry.

Usha wanted to decline but everyone started to request her to take a rest, so she had no choice but to do it.

"All right, You guys can continue the work, I will come back in a few minutes," Usha didn't feel tired because this war is an important matter to her.

Usha looked at Alva before leaving the room indicating for her to follow, Nikol didn't come as he was still a stranger to them. He thought Usha wouldn't like sharing personal information like that.

Alva followed her silently closing the door of the main office. Usha entered her private room with Alva after walking through the hallway,

"What do you want to talk about Alva?" Usha asks her while loosening her shoulders

"Chief!" Alva started to talk but, she got disturbed by Usha.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Call me mother when we're not working," Usha insisted.

Alva didn't hesitate this time to call her mother since this wasn't the time to argue,

"Mother, I wanted to ask something, why do we have to war like this? At this time when we're supposed to get together and work," Alva questioned her.

"What do you mean?" Usha looked at her with a confused look.

"Since the goddess stopped responding to our wishes, the relationship between our tribes became worse, aren't we supposed to get together and work to overcome this as humans, instead of fighting,"

Usha went silent for a minute hearing her words.

"Everything you say makes sense but it's not happening like that, look they are coming to massacre us, why do we have to bow our heads?" Usha questioned her.

"That's why I'm asking why are they coming to fight us instead of making peace," Alva's question caused Usha to go silent for a minute.

"They must have their own reasons, anyway don't think about useless things, just get ready to face them," Usha had a different look on her.

"Mother, are we doing something wrong to them?" Alva got some hints from her behaviour but, she wanted to confirm it.

Usha nodded her head left and right refusing to answer her,

"Alva, do as I say, you will get to know everything when you become the chief," Usha said before leaving the room.

Alva stood there seeing the back of her mother and thinking about why she was acting like that.

Usha forgot that she came here to rest for a minute because of her state of mind.

Alva left the room with a disappointed look, she didn't get any information from her so she was upset about it, but she didn't want to be a weak person. Alva decided to face the war to protect their tribe, even if it means they are in the wrong.

Nikol saw her coming all upset, he asked from her what happened with Usha and Alva explained everything to him.

"We have no choice but to fight in this war, aren't we?" Nikol asked from her.

"Yeah, but if I'm going to fight, I will give it my all, don't worry I will protect you this time, anyway I'm older than you so leave it to your elder sister," Alva said with a smile.

"Still calling yourself older sister after having sex with me countless times," Nikol asked from her with his teasing smile.

"Is it wrong to have sex with an elder sister?" Since the idea of siblings was rare in this world, they had no idea that it was taboo by the normal standards of Nikol's previous world.

"Yeah, how do I say it? If it's siblings, normally it's considered a taboo." Nikol said.

"How did you get so much knowledge? I feel envious of your knowledge sometimes," Alva didn't know how he knew so many amazing things like sex and different poses to have sex. In her mind, every new thing Nikol introduce was sexual to her.

Alva knew he had some untold memories because of all this but, she trusted him on the same level as Usha so, she didn't mind not knowing about them. Alva just wanted to be with Nikol.

"Anyway, we should get ready for the war, do you have proper armour and weapons?" He questioned her.

"I have those things, what about you?"

"I don't, I still haven't found my fighting style, sometimes I feel like doing archery but at the same time close range feels good too," Nikol was confused about what to choose.

Nikol couldn't choose a weapon as his power remained a mystery to him.

"Well, let's just go and make something good for you,"

Alva grabbed Nikol around the town spending the time showing him different things while enjoying themselves before the despair begin.
