9 In Search of the great Commander

After a few minutes of walking, They finally reached the Center. The Center of Saijun Village were surprisingly as large as the Tsuchiyan Center. And at the north of the Center lies a steel gates with bushes surrounding the very building of the leader. Inside the gate was a long narrow way accompanied by the beauty of the blooming flowers by each side. A fountain in the middle before reaching the building.

A few more minutes and the group has arrived at the gate. "Here we are, Past this gate is our Palace, This is where Itsumi and I resides" Hiro sparked a conversation. "It's so huge! Even with these hiding the place, You can still see the upper part!" Ayumi observed the building up to the top. Then Hiro went first and opened the gate and gave them a way. "Eh? Don't you have a guard on your gates?" Chiho noticed that there were no soldiers guarding the gate, and Hiro's the one who opened the gates. "Ever since the war finished, Our village's crimes dramatically dropped. When we noticed that, We started to reduce the security inside the village and instead, strengthen the securities on borders" Gentaro explained as they walk through the narrow path. Ayumi was stunned by the flowers on the side and had her jaws dropped.

Hiro closed the gates after them and ran to catch up with them. As they reached the end of the narrow path and the fountain, Chiho and Ayumi stopped in front of the building to look at it. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" Chiho speaks as She observe every corner of the building. "I know right!" Ayumi nods in agreement. Gentaro opened the entrance and faced the girls. "Well, Come in!" Gentaro invited the two, in which they Ayumi ran while Chiho just walked.

The two girls were blinded by the bright white interior. There are two hallways at each side and in the middle, A Large insignia of the Saiju is embedded in the middle of the wall, and on the right, There's a stairs leading to a small balcony supported by brown finished wooden balcony fence. In the balcony, There's a door, leading to a room.

As the two girls admires the interior, Itsumi called for Ayumi. "Ayumi-chan, Chiho-san and nii-san are going to have a talk, How about we waste time to the gardens until they're done?". Ayumi remembers about visiting their garden. "Yay! Onee-chan, Can i go with her now?" Ayumi asked Chiho. "Yeah, You can. Itsumi-san, Please take care of Ayumi" Chiho bows. "My, You don't need to do that. And I'll make sure She'll enjoy everything" Itsumi mentioned that Chiho shouldn't be all formal around them. "Itsumi's right, you know. You should drop the formalities, We are all friends here" Gentaro supported her sister's words as He approach the stairs. "Well then, Ayumi-chan?" Itsumi called for Ayumi and they started walking to the right hallway.

"My office is right up here, Come with me, you two" Gentaro started to ascend the stairs. Hiro steps forward. "Well?" Hiro signaled Chiho to go first. "Ah, Yes" Chiho hurriedly climbs the stairs. Once they reached the balcony, Gentaro faced the fence and started talking. "This is where i made my speech when we got rid of the corrupted leader" Gentaro started to chuckle as He remembers his memories, Chiho were fascinated, to think that here's where He stood to change the Saiju. "It was not really a speech, or i don't know. But i stood here and listened to my heart. I shouted everything i wanted to say about our falling village. And i was surprised people actually wanted change, They were all cheering in front of me, The scene of people happily cheering made me and Itsumi very happy" Gentaro continued. "I was there too! I was a little brat back then" Hiro told Chiho, Which She looked behind her by her shoulder and gave a shy laugh.

"Alright, Let's not waste time" Gentaro faced the door and took a key from his pockets. The room were expanded to make more space and more room to be accessed, Of course, The leader's table is in the middle, Gentaro walked there and took a seat. Chiho, With Hiro on her tail, Goes in. "Please, Take a seat" There are comfortable long sofa in each side of the wall. Chiho quietly went for the left sofa and Hiro sits on the right sofa.

"I want you hear you out first, Hiro" Gentaro started with Hiro. "Gentaro-sama.. Um.. I would like to have a search party formed up with me as its leader" Hiro speaks his request. Chiho gave him a nervous yet determined look, Hiro saw her and just nods at her. Gentaro, Thinking about it, looks at the roof. "Who are you trying to look for?" Gentaro asked. "It is Commander Yagano!" Hiro's answer made Gentaro look at him. "Chiho" Gentaro called for Chiho then switched his eyes to Chiho. "When was the last time you were with your father?" Gentaro asked Chiho but Hiro answered. "She believes that her Father is dead, But i wanted to go against it, I know he's still in there!" Hiro was about to shout. "Hmm.." Gentaro thinks deeply, then looked at Chiho. "Are you sure your father's gone?" He asked directly. "I-I'm..Not sure... But the soldiers who guided us told us so.." Chiho nervously answered. "Goddamn it! They don't know that! Commander Yagano or even your mother is still out there!" Hiro finally shouted at her, Which She looks at him with worried expression, Then Hiro looked at Gentaro directly. "Gentaro-sama, I beg you! Give me a chance! I'll not stay here and think They're dead without knowing it myself!" Hiro begged. "I will accept your request" Gentaro firmly accepts his request. "Gentaro-sama!" Hiro happily smiled. "But the risk of losing our people there worries me, Hiro" Gentaro lays his worryings. "D-Don't worry! I'll make sure to avoid any problems as possible!" Hiro tried to reassure Gentaro.

Which made him chuckle in return. "Easy for you say that, You know that we don't know where the enemies came from, If i guess right, Maybe it's the same people as those who went to us" Gentaro wasn't still convinced. "It is them" Chiho proves his words. Gentaro gave her a worried nod. "Did Hiro told you about people who went to visit us?" Gentaro asked and Chiho answers with a nod. "If you would like, Hiro. I want you to wait for us to talk about them, I had to make sure what kind of people those are, and their incredible technologies" Gentaro suggested to Hiro. "But the clock's ticking! If we don't move soon, It might be too late!" Though, Hiro refused it right away. "I'm sorry, Hiro. It worries me that you will just harm yourselves, and to think they have way advanced technologies than what we have now, I don't think you'll even last long fighting them" Gentaro was really sorry. Hiro quickly noticed and responded right away. "N-No, Please don't apologize. I know you're worried about losing your men. But, It's Commander Yagano that we're saving here" Hiro mentioned Yagano. Which made Chiho and Gentaro looks at him at the same time. "If fighting them is impossible, Then we'll avoid any fights at all cost" Hiro suggested a rule. "Avoid a fight.." Gentaro sighs. "You can say everything here, Hiro. Still, I don't have any choice but to permit you, since you're trying to save Yagano-san here". Gentaro states the obvious. "I..I guess so" Hiro leaned his back on the sofa.

"Then, I allow you to pick up any soldier and as much as you feel like. Save Yagano-san and come back here alive, Hiro" Gentaro accepted his request for real this time. Hiro quickly stood up and bowed. "Thank you, Gentaro-sama! I shall make my promise and save Commander Yagano and come back here!" Then He faced Chiho. "Then, Chiho-san, I'll be on my way" He said his goodbyes on Chiho, She nodded as a response. "Please be careful out there". Hiro also nodded in response and stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him.

"Then Chiho-san. I'm pretty sure you have a lot to talk about" Gentaro eagerly suggested that She should start now. "R-Right.. Where do i start?" Chiho wonders where should She say first. "Hmm... We might have already talked about it, But for one last time. Hiro told you about the people visited us right? Do they really match the description of the invading enemies on your village?" Gentaro asked one more time. "Yes, There's no mistaking it. They have those loud and flashing weapons that could kill even from afar, And they have a vehicle called...." Chiho tried to recall the name of the R37. "It has numbers on it" Chiho gave a hint, Gentaro quickly knew the answer. "The R37?". Chiho perks up. "Yes! That's it! They also have that flashing weapon from the side seat!" Chiho describes the R37. "It's called Sidecar, And those flashing weapons are called Guns" Gentaro told her the names. "Y-Yeah! Hiro-san actually told me about them, I easily forgot the names" Chiho shyly scratched her head. "It can't be helped, right? They are indeed hard to remember. I too never heard such names like these" Gentaro lays his frustration on the names.

"Names aside, I have met one of their soldier" Chiho started to talk about her first encounter and this interests Gentaro even more. "Go on" Gentaro let her to continue. "It was a very close one, But i managed to fend him off and steal.. or get his gun" Chiho took out the handgun for him to see. "I see, Can i take a look at that gun?" Gentaro asked. Chiho answered Yes and stood up, She held the gun with both of her hands and hand it out to Gentaro. He took the gun and observed it. "This.. This looks different from what the people have shown us before" Gentaro lays the gun on his table. "I-Is that so?" Chiho looked at the gun. "Oh actually..." Gentaro reached under his table and took another gun and set it aside Chiho's handgun. The gun Gentaro took out was a Luger. "They looked for me, The leader of the village, and gave me and Itsumi both of this gun" Gentaro taps the Luger. "They called it The Luger" Gentaro introduced the gun as Chiho quietly observed the Luger. "C-Can i touch it?" Chiho asked for a permission. "Of course, Go on" Gentaro let her hold the gun. Chiho picked up the handgun and held it with both of her hands. "T-They're heavy, isn't it?" Chiho tried to hold the gun with one hand. Gentaro nods in agreement. "They have these things called Magazine inside that thing" Gentaro mentioned the magazine. "Eh?" Chiho wonders about the magazine.

"Do you see that circle thing on the left side near the trigger?" Gentaro locates the magazine ejector. Chiho flips the Luger so She can see where He was pointing. "Yes, I see it" Chiho confirmed. "Press it" Gentaro asked her. "O-Okay.." Chiho held the gun with both of her hands and used her right thumb. She slowly pressed, followed by the click noise and the magazine fell to the floor. "Ah!" The sudden fall of the magazine. "I-Is this..?" Chiho looked at the magazine. "Yes, This is where the bullets are stored for the gun to shoot. Bullets, Are what you call those little things inside that magazine" Gentaro explained. Chiho picks up the magazine with her left hand and observed it. "You see the yellow things inside it? Those are its bullets. They are ejected from the gun at high speed and that's how it kills" Gentaro explained further. "Amazing..." Chiho stared at the Luger. "It's the deadliest weapon we have ever discovered. And to think all of them are carrying these deadly weapons" Gentaro nervously picked up Chiho's handgun. "I know right, There's even those flying things. They do the same, They emit loud noise and shoots too" Chiho remembered the plane Ayumi took down on the way to the village.

"They fly and shoot? They haven't told us that yet.. But that one's even more dangerous" Gentaro laid Chiho's handgun down. Chiho looked under the handle of the Luger and inserts the magazine back. Then She whispers "Amazing". Then She looked at Gentaro. "That's not all, They also have these monsters called Tanks" Chiho have saw a tank before but She was at an intense moment and never had a clear description of it. But She remembers a bit how the T-62A looked like. "It's a big loud moving thing andThey have a long barrel sticking out of it and the.." Chiho forgot what its called, She looked underneath the Luger. "Bullets?" Gentaro said the name. "Ah.. Yes.." Chiho shyly answered. "The bullet that came out of it is so big, Bigger than a person" Chiho explained. "The tank was shooting the walls to block our way, The walls are completely nothing to the Tank, The wall gets easily collapse as that tank's bullets hits it hard" Gentaro sighs at her words. Chiho noticed him and went sad, She looked at the luger as She speak. "Just who are these people? Where did they come from.. Who's the one leading...." Chiho remembered something. "Their Leader.. The enemy soldier revealed their leader!" Chiho looked directly at Gentaro, Which surprised him at her sudden energy. "His name is Shichiro, Fujiwara Shichiro.. Does it sound familiar?" Chiho asked but Gentaro shakes his head. "Sadly, No" Gentaro responded.

"He has blue hair and always wear a blue.. uh... J-Jacket?" Chiho describes Shichiro. "Blue hair and wears a... Blue jacket? How does it look like?" Gentaro asked. "That's what i forgot to ask, but i will know how it looks like when i see it again, I have seen that man for once" Chiho tries to remember his face but to no avail. She clenched her left fist in anger. "That man stabbed Ayumi without mercy" Chiho speaked in an angry manner. This shocked Gentaro. "I..I'll do anything to make him pay" Chiho suddenly made a new idea. "Chiho-san? What did you just say?" Gentaro nervously asked. "I'll train more, Steal more of their guns and use it on our own.. I'll not let him just stomp over us.. The Tsuchiya... Will fight back!" Chiro suddenly shouted and clenched her left fist. Then She looked directly at Gentaro, That surprised him. "Gentaro-san, Please help the Tsuchiya to fight the enemies! I'll be the first one to fight them! I'll lead every Tsuchiyan to reclaim our village!" Chiho looked at the roof as to promise something. "C-Chiho-san? What are you even saying? Why did you..." Gentaro asked her but Chiho immediately answered. "I'm pretty sure Father would do the same if He makes it out alive!" Chiho smiled at Gentaro, Which surprised him even more. "Your father, huh.." Gentaro looked at Chiho's handgun on his table. Then He chuckled. "Heh.. To think you would suddenly come up with that idea... Do you wish to be the same as your father? Chiho-san?" Gentaro asked "Yes! I made up my mind.. I'll help Father fight them!" Chiho answered with strong determination. "But what if your father doesn't allow you?" Gentaro asked. "I don't care" Chiho quickly answered, Which surprised Gentaro at her quick answer. "Like the others said, Being an innocent person is pointless at times of war.." She remembered what the soldiers have told her. "So, you mean even the civilians should be fighting the war?" Gentaro asked. "If..If they have to fight, They will fight instead of backing off.. I guess that what it means" Chiho barely answered back. "I see" Gentaro had enough of his questions.

"I.. Actually beheaded one enemy out of rage.. I think that was a good start" Chiho stared at the ground trying to remember the scene. "Y-You did?" Gentaro were very surprised at her suddenly bringing that up. "Yes, I went without thinking. But i managed it" Chiho saved it by saying She managed. Then She looked at the Luger and laid it to the table. Gentaro didn't speak anymore and just sigh. "We just hope your mother will understand" Gentaro looked at Chiho. "Yes, I know She will.. Our village is at dire, after all" Chiho picked up her handgun and puts it back to her pocket. "I would let you rest for the day now, But i'm wondering if there's something else you forgot to say" Gentaro asked. Then Chiho thinks deeply, Then She remembered some other things. "They have these things where you have to burrow it under your skin and your wound will heal instantly, They called it Painkiller" Chiho remembered about the Painkillers. "Too bad i forgot to take one" Chiho added. "Another very convenient equipment from them" Gentaro taps his foot on the ground. "And i think, That Shichiro guy have two friends helping him lead his people, One of them is a girl with white hair" Chiho remembered where She first saw Maeru together with Shichiro and another guy. Gentaro quietly grunts as She revealed that there's more than one leading the PTRD. "They went to our village first, maybe pretending to be adventurers. That was when my eyes caught hers" Chiho clenched her fists. "So.. These guys like, Infiltrated your village first?" Gentaro asked, But Chiho were too focused on thinking of Maeru. "That girl looked so kind, I remembered her sweet smile when we both waved at each other.. How can she be with that Shichiro guy?" Chiho were really curious. "Maybe they are a couple?" Gentaro gave out a guess. Chiho looked at him, then looked down the ground. "That might be right, But still.. Why go out with him?" Chiho wasn't convinced enough.

"Then There's only one meaning" Gentaro answered, Chiho looked at him to wait for what He'll say next. "She's just the same as that Shichiro, She was just hiding under that 'sweet smile', but inside her was just as horrible as that guy" Gentaro continued, Chiho became afraid. "She's... also pretending to be a good person?" Chiho were about to reject the idea until She remembered something as the topic goes on. "Sh-Shigawa..." Chiho speaks low. "What is it?" Gentaro heard her and asked. Then Chiho looked at him directly. "Shigawa Maeru, That's her name! And I was also told that She is a Devil... From hell and hides under that appearance" Chiho completely got a hold of everything Keijuro, The soldier She met, have told her about Maeru. "D-Devil from Hell?" Gentaro were shocked at the words. Chiho nods. "I was also told that She abducts people and tortures them" Chiho continued. "What a horrible person.." Gentaro stared at his table in loss of words, Then He looked at Chiho. "Wait, Is it the same guy who you stole the gun from? What's his name?" Gentaro asked. Chiho realized that She haven't introduced the soldier yet. "Y-Yes, And His name is Keijuro" Chiho then quickly turned back into the topic. "He also told me what They call her personality, But i forgot" Chiho tried to remember but to no avail. "What? Torturer? Devil?" Gentaro gives a few hints. "No, It's far from those names" But Chiho still doesn't remember. Gentaro leaned his back on his chair. "There are lots of things to be aware of them, This one is going to be tough" Gentaro looked at the roof as to process everything.

"We don't even know where they came from.." Gentaro spoke with a defeated tone. Then Chiho remembered something again. "By Portal.. Yes! By portal!" Chiho's energy surged, Which surprised Gentaro a bit. "Portal?" Gentaro asked. "Yes.. He also said that they came from different worlds!" Chiho were hyped about remembering that. "Oh no..." Gentaro looked back at the roof. "Another unbelievable thing" Gentaro was so tired of hearing such things. "How if He just made that up?" Gentaro hopelessly asked. "I don't know, But i think i'm going to believe that one" Chiho believed the fact. "How can you be sure?" Gentaro asked. "Their equipment, Vehicle and those flying things.. Even the other regions don't have those" Chiho responded. Gentaro nodded and finished the conversation. "I think i've heard enough. It's time for you to go, Chiho-san". Chiho bowed on response. "I'm kind of going to be busy on my table, But if you want, I can find someone who can lead you to the Inn we've prepared" Gentaro asked but Chiho refused right away. "No, We're going to be fine. Just tell me where it is". Gentaro told her the location. "At least, Call Itsumi to walk you there" Gentaro still insisted, Chiho just agreed on him. "Then, I'll be on my way" Chiho bowed once more before going out of the room.

Chiho went down the stairs and stopped at the middle, She looked to her left where Itsumi and Ayumi headed. "Where did they go?" The hallway is long and only the windows is the source of light.By the end of the hallway, Pink flowers can be seen, Which is the one giving out a hint that, that is the way to the garden. "Onee-chan!" Chiho were planning on walking to the garden but Ayumi called her behind her. Chiho turned around and saw Ayumi running towards her. Then She stopped in front of her. "We went around the place! It's so beautiful!" Ayumi told her little tour to Chiho. "Did you enjoy it?" Chiho giggled. "Absolutely!" Ayumi answered full of energy. Then Itsumi finally appeared. "She ran all over the place, making sure She don't miss a spot, She's quite a lively child" Itsumi speaked with a smile. "They even have grapes on their garden! Itsumi-nee-chan allowed me to pick some!" Ayumi took out a pouch and opened it and showed it to Chiho. It has some grapes on it. "Whoa!" Chiho took one and ate it. "So Sweet!". Then She faced Itsumi and bowed. "Thank you for letting us have some". Chiho thanked her for the grapes. "Don't mention it, You can get some anytime" Itsumi responded. Then Ayumi looked at Itsumi. "Anytime.. Does that mean it grows fast?" Ayumi asked, But Itsumi just smiled. "A-Ayumi-chan, You must be tired, Gentaro-san told me where the Inn is, Let's go there" Chiho filled up the silence. "O-Okay.." Ayumi let go of her question and walked on Chiho's side. "Are you sure you know the way? Do you want me to take you there?" Itsumi asked. "N-No, We bothered you enough, We will be on our own!" Chiho kindly refused her.

"Alright then, Be safe, You two, okay?" Itsumi pats the girls' head. They both answered Yes and said their goodbyes and went out of the building. They reached the gate and stopped there, Chiho speaks up. "There's really no guard here" She said as She looks around. Then Ayumi opened the gate and went outside, She held the gate open. "Geez, Do you really want someone to open it for you? Here!" Ayumi pouts. "T-That's not what i mean" Chiho responded as She walked out. Then Ayumi closed the gates. "Alright, I still remember the way, Let's go" The two started walking to the same path as They were going for Gentaro's place.

As the Two leaves the Center, Things around them became quieter as it turns into residential. They keep walking until They saw the entrance again. "Alright, Here's the Entrance. Gentaro-san said it's just near and east of the entrance" Chiho repeated the direction. As they are about to turn left, They heard a faint noise and a shadow flew by them. The two looked up to the sky at the same time and saw a Stuka. This one has a blue camouflage and Its red star is darker compared to the first Stuka on the Tsuchiya and it has yellow outline. "I-It's those things! But quieter!" Ayumi were terrified how quiet the Stuka passed by. "What are they doing here?!" Chiho complained as They watch the Stuka gaining its altitude by pointing the nose up to the sky.

As it gained enough altitude, The Stuka flies straight again and flies away. But before it disappear from the girls' view, They heard a gunshot near the entrance and a very fast orange light hits the Stuka and bright multiple circular orange lights burst out from the spot and fades away after a second. "W-What was that?!" Ayumi shouted as the guards from the gate also panicked. "Someone was trying to take it down!" Chiho looked at the gate, planning on going outside. Then looked at the Stuka again. Someone fired a shot again but missed this time, The two watched the bullet fly past the Stuka. Then finally It changed its course to the direction of where the shot was coming from. As it points its nose to the ground, It started to emit the wailing siren. Ayumi covered her eyes as They watched it do a dive bomb.

It started to shoot with its guns from its wings as It gets closer to the ground. Then It quickly disappeared from the walls covering the village. The area around them started to get noisy from the worried chatters. "Ayumi! Hurry!" Chiho took Ayumi by her left hand and started running towards the gate. "A-Are we going there?!" Ayumi tried to break away from Chiho, But She can't focus since they're running. They stopped in front of the gates with the guards looking at them. "The vehicle!" Chiho looked around and saw the R37 parked beside a building with a soldier who is also curious of the noises. "Let's go, Ayumi-chan!" Chiho ran towards the R37. "Thank you for keeping the vehicle safe!" Chiho shouted at the guard as They both ride the R37. "Chiho-san?!" The guard nervously called for Chiho. "Don't worry, We'll be right back!" Chiho responded as She tried to accelerate without starting the engine, She quickly realized this and flipped the ignition. The R37 loudly started its engine and Chiho drove in front of the gate. The guards were surprised. "Let us through!" Chiho asked the guards. "There's something happening outside right now, It's the best not to-!" Before the guard on the left continue its word, Chiho interrupts him. "This is an order from Gentaro!" Chiho lied to them. "G-Gentaro-sama?!" "When did he..?!" both guards didn't know what to do. "Hurry!" Chiho's shout made them look at her, Then They looked at each other and nods. Then the guard on left looked up the wall. "Open the gates!" He shouted a command and the gate slowly opens.

She pressed the brakes and accelerates the R37 at the same time, Revving up the engine loud. As the gate has fully opened. Chiho let go of the brakes and the last wheel screeched loudly and finally took off. "Be careful!" a guard shouted at them, Chiho raised her left hand to signal a response and accelerates the R37 to the fullest.

A minute of driving has passed before they saw the Stuka from far away, Perfectly landed on a straight field. "That's the thing!" Ayumi pointed at the Stuka. "Hm!" Chiho nodded with a smile, Ayumi looked at her. "W-Why are you happy?" Ayumi was frightened when She saw it, But Chiho became excited. "Look at it! It still haven't exploded yet! It looks as fine as it was on the air!" Chiho pointed at the Stuka. "Well.. Except for the burn mark from the shot" Chiho noticed the large burn mark just below its cockpit. "Heeh..?" Ayumi puts up a smug in Which Chiho quickly noticed. "Well!" Chiho spoke up and quickly accelerates the R37. When they get closer, Chiho noticed two people on near the Stuka and told Ayumi about it.

Then Chiho drove to a nearby tree to hide, Then They left the R37. "We need to walk from here, I don't want them to hear us" Then They started walking towards the Stuka cautiously. After a few walks, They're now close. The Two were frightened about how big the Stuka is, But Chiho quickly caught someone on the side. Chiho called for Ayumi to look at them. The Two girls saw a girl with long purple hair visibly tying a sitting person in front of her. The person being tied was visibly struggling then it screamed. "Отпустите меня!" It's a young woman's voice but They didn't understand. "It's that language again!" Ayumi whispered to Chiho. "So that girl was a Prohorovkan?" Chiho observed the girl being tied up. The captured Prohorovkan pilot is a girl with short brown hair and wearing the same uniform as the land troops, except that Pilots have goggles and gloves on. She have been grazed on her left arm and a big wound on her stomach that the two girls have yet to noticed. The girl with purple hair responded. "No one can understand you, Idiot". Hearing the voice of the girl with purple hair, Chiho knew that the girl was only a bit older than herself. Then the captured girl struggled hard. "Hey! Stay still! Goddamn it! I will kill you!" The purple-haired girl's voice suddenly became violent as She threatened her captured enemy. Then She moved behind her to focus on tying her. The girl struggled even if She was threatened. "You..! I told you to stay sti-!" The purple-haired girl had enough and took out an axe and were about to hit her, But the girl saw the two girls. "Ты!" She shouted at Chiho.

Then the purple-haired girl looked at where She was looking, and also found the two girls. Ayumi quickly hid behind Chiho. "Помогите! Пожалуйста!" The girl continued to shout as Chiho and the purple-haired girl stared at each other, Loss of words. Then Ayumi peeked behind Chiho, Which caught the purple-haired girl's eyes. This led her to ask Chiho. "Are you one of them?" She asked. Then Chiho quickly answered no, Which made her sigh in relief. Then all of the sudden, She turned a bit shy. "Which village are you from then?" She asked. Then Chiho step aside so Ayumi can be seen. "We are from Tsuchiya, And you are?" Chiho answered. "T..Tsu..?!" The purple-haired girl were taken aback at her answer, Then She switched to being sad and looked away from Chiho. Then They heard the struggling girl again. "Хватит с ней разговаривать!" The captured girl shouted at Chiho. "Shut up!" Then the once shy, and sad girl turned back to being violent. "I told you no one can understand you!" She started kicking the captured girl. "Черт побери! Больно!" She kept shouting her language as the purple-haired girl proceeds on kicking her. "T-There's no point of shouting at her like that if you could not understand each other, right?" Ayumi walked forward a bit and tells her to stop. Which She actually stopped in realization.

Then the captured girl looked at Ayumi. "молодая девушка.. Помогите старшей сестре, будете ли вы?" She sounded like She was trying to convince Ayumi to set her free. "I'm sorry, I can't understand you" Ayumi crouched and gave her a sad look when She responded. The captured girl were affected and also became sad. Then Chiho walked forward with a determined face. The three looked at her. Then She pointed her finger at the captured girl and shouted. "Sudikatto!" The three stared at her silently in confusion.
