Chapter 33-: Hostage 

( TL By GUST )

"Sora has a sister"

Sora unhurriedly opened her mouth.

"She's twin sister. She has a completely different personality from Sora, but I think we're on good terms. She's a very important sister."

"Nya, I also have a younger sister."

"Then I have to say hello. I wonder if your sister is nearby?"

"..."

Sora has a dark face.

She's about to start crying.

"My sister is ... now caught by a monster."

"To a monster ...?"

"... There are several roads leading to the spirit tribe village not only in this lost forest, but all over the world. Sora ... manages this lost forest road with her sister Luna. It was a boring job if I got messed up, but it was a fun day because Luna was with me. Sometimes I played in the forest and I was happy. "

"You're on good terms "

"Yes, my sister is important, but ... One day, a monster who claims to be the Demon King's army appeared."

I think she's looking back on those days.

Anger, fear, and conflicting emotions appear on Sora's face.

"Of course, Sora and the others responded, but they couldn't beat it ... Finally, Luna was caught in a gap."

"The spirits struggle ...? What is the name of the monster?"

"Shadow Night"

"I see ... reasonably"

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Kanade asks

"Shadow Knight is a C-ranked monster, and if you're a top-notch adventurer, you won't have a hard time. It's just a nasty trait. It's a rare individual with a special ability to completely nullify magic. The spirits are a race that specializes in using magic. The combination is too bad. "

"Nyaru ... Shadow Knight is a natural enemy of the spirit tribe."

"Shadow Knight told me to break the barrier if I wanted to help Luna. The purpose of Shadow Knight was to destroy the strongest species that were hostile to the demons. Of course, I can't drink such a request. Bounce off ... I tried to help Luna on my own, but ... "

"I couldn't help ...?"

"Yes ... my companion didn't help me. The chief can't put his companion in danger. Fortunately, it's safe to be in the barrier. I have to give up on Luna. ……When"

Sora holds her fist.

The fist I grasped quivered slightly.

"What's that !? Not terrible"

"Nya ... I've heard that the spirits are rational, but ... no matter how much, that's not so much ..."

"I want to help Luna somehow, but I can't put my companion at risk. I understand what my companion is saying. The life of one sister or the life of all the spirits ... which should I take? When asked, my sister would be cut off. Still ... Sora wasn't convinced. Should I choose between my sister and my companion? Sora was forced to make a choice, but Sora ... I don't know which one to choose ... I want to choose Luna, but it's betraying my friends ... But if I choose to protect my friends, I can't protect Luna ... "Ku"

"I understand the situation."

"a……"

I gently stroked Sora's head.

Be kind and work hard.

Stroke repeatedly.

"It was hard"

"……rain……"

"Suddenly, I was attacked by a natural enemy ... My sister was kidnapped ... I kept wondering alone ... It must have been painful."

"Uh ... oh ..."

"It's okay. We're here. So ... you don't have to overdo it."

"Hi, ok ... Egu, uh ... uhhhhhhh !!!"

What I was holding down overflowed at once ...

Sora's roar echoed.

"I'm sorry I showed my disgust at ......."

After a while, Sora regained her composure.

However, her eyes were red from the tears she had shed.

It is the demon's fault that it is making her look like this.

The thought of this made me feel angry.

"I don't mind. I don't care. It's times like this that you need to let out whatever you've been holding in.

"...... I feel a little better now."

Sora laughed slightly.

"The more you smile, the better.

"What?

"It's cuter that way.

"...... Oh, really?

"Yow ...... Rain is such a codger ......

"You never tell me I'm cute. ......

I'm not sure why the two of them were looking at me like that.

"So, about the future. ......

"I have a ...... favour to ask.

Sora stared at me.

It was as if she was hanging on to me.

"It's shameless of you to do what you did in the first place, and then to say something so convenient. ...... It's the worst. But I don't know what else to do. ...... Please help Luna. ...... Please help Sora and the others. ...... ......

"He asked me to.

"Oh ......"

"I promise. I promise, I will save Sora's sister. I will defeat the Shadow Knight. I won't do anything to endanger the Spirit Tribe. All of them. I'll make all your wishes come true."

"Nah, Rain is greedy."

"It's better that way.

"Are you sure, ......? Sora turned her blade on Rain.......

"I don't care. It was not her intention to do so. I think I know that.

"...... Rain ......"

"You two have no objections, do you?

"Yes, of course!　　I'll punish any demon that torments Sora!

"I knew this was going to happen. I knew this would happen, and I'm not going to object now.

"......, then."

It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

I'm not going to be the only one.

"Thank you, thank you ......, thank you so much ......."

"It's too early to thank me.

"But I'm still happy. ...... Thank you so much. ......

When Sora settled down, he moved to the front of a large tree, which is the cornerstone of the barrier.

"Don't you know what your sister is doing?"

"I'm sorry ... Shadow Knight only gives a one-sided order, and I don't know how Luna is treated ..."

"Nyaa ... I'm worried."

"I'm not going to fuel my anxiety, but ... is it safe?"

"that is……"

Sora has a dark face.

"I used to hear Luna's voice, but nowadays it's not like that and it's ignored ..."

"Maybe you should hurry"

The demons wouldn't care about the hostages.

Sora's sister may have been treated badly.

It may even be debilitating.

I have to rescue him as soon as one minute and one second and send it to Sora.

"If you break the barrier, the place where Shadow Knight is is straight from here. Maybe Rain and others can reach it in a few minutes."

"Nya, I'll do my best!"

"Let's kick off the monsters that imitate playfully!"

Seeing the two enthusiastic people, Sora says quietly.

"That ... after all, I'm with Rain and others ..."

"No, it's better to stop it."

Sora offered to accompany me, but I rejected it.

"My sister is being taken hostage. If Sora finds out that she has betrayed, the monsters may rise and harm the hostages."

"that is……"

"Also, to put it badly, I might make us and Sora hostile with my sister as a shield ... I think it's better not to move around. Well, that's true for us, but the relationship is As long as you don't understand, the enemy will be lost. I don't mean to say this, but ... I think it's easier to do than Sora comes out. "

"..."

"Maybe I'm worried, but can Sora wait here? It's okay. My sister will definitely help us."

"... Yes. I believe in Rain and others."

Sora laughed a little.

Shows a bright face to inspire us.

"... Good luck"

Seen off by Sora ...

We kicked the ground and ran towards Shadow Knight.
