Chapter 1 : Empire's Soldiers

42 people + Rabbit-ear traveling along the canyon.
Naturally, a lot of demonic beasts tried to attack them but to no avail. Those who tried to attacked the RabbitMan tribe without any exception had their head blown with a flash.
That flash accompanied with gunshot, when looked around you can see a lot of demonic beasts' corpse scattered around Raisen Grand Canyon that make the RabbitMan tribe dumbfounded and stare in awe at Hajime who did this.
Especially the child, they are looking at Hajime's overwhelming strength and see him as their hero with sparkling eyes.
"Fufufu, Hajime-san. The little one are watching you know~ Why don't you wave at them?"
Shia immediately tried to tease Hajime who's already in bad mood because of those child's innocent gaze.
With a vein popped on his head, Hajime silently fired his gun.
DOPANn! DOPANn! DOPANn!
"Awawwawawawawagh!?"
With rubber bullet aimed at her foot, Shia tried to evade it which make her looks like tapdancing. To that spectacle, Shia's father, Kam only reveal a wry smile meanwhile Yue look at her with amazement.
"Ha Ha Ha, so Shia and Hajime already that close. It's looks like… Shia already reach that age huh. It's make father a bit lonely. But if the other is Hajime-dono, then it is a relief…"
Even though her daughter is still shotted at, Kam saw her as if celebrating her departure (as in marriage) with tear forming in the corner of his eyes. The other's tribe member also look at her with warm gaze although her screaming "Help me~" can be heard.
"Wait, all of you. Why is that you conclusion after looking at this situation?"
"… Unbelievable"
As Yue said, it seems the RabbitMan tribe rather lack of common sense and it's already become something natural for this tribe. Though it wasn't known whether it's applied only to Haulia tribe or not.
After walking for a long time, their group finally arrive at the entrance of Raisen Grand Canyon. There are finely built staircase as far as Hajime's "Far Sight" can see. The stairs was built by cutting along the wall and it was the type that make an u-turn every 50 meters. Sea of Trees can be reached after walking around half a day after exiting Raisen Grand Canyon.
While Hajime tried looking at the distance, Shia started to talk with uneasiness in her voice.
" Are there any of empire's Soldiers?"
" N? What can I say about. Although there are the possibility of them getting annihilated already…"
" Th, that is, supposed that there are empire's Soldiers around… Hajime-san… What will you do?"
"? What do you mean by that?"
Hajime tilt his head because he can't understand the question asked by Shia. Rabbit-ear of the Rabbbitmen tribe hear perked because of her question.
"Unlike demonic beasts, the enemy are the empire's Soldiers… human race. The same as Hajime-san. … are you sure you can fight them?"
"Failure rabbit, you, didn't you already see the future?"
"Yes, I am. Hajime confronting the empire's Soldiers…"
"Then… What is the problem?"
"I want to confirm it. To protect us, RabbitMan tribe from the empire's Soldiers and confront the human race. Are you really okay, fighting against humans…"
Having heard Shia's word, the surrounding RabbitMan tribe nervously looking at Hajime. The children can't understand what happened but guessing the serious atmosphere started to alternately looking between the adult tribe members and Hajime restlessly.
However, inside such a serious atmosphere Hajime casually said.
"What is wrong with that?"
"Eh?"
Hajime continue his talk ignoring Shia's confusion.
"Like I said. There is no problem for me to fight against human."
"Th,that's, aren't you come from the same race…"
"Didn't your tribe also chased by the same race (demi-human)"
"That is, well, even if you put it that way…"
"Although, you're wrong about the basic"
"Basic?"
Shia was tilting her head and the surrounding RabbitMan tribe looked confused.
"Listen, I am employing your tribe to be my guide. So, I'll be troubled if any of you died so I'll protect it. It's not like I was sympathizing you, or I have any kindness to do that. Moreover, I won't protect you forever. Didn't you remember that?"
"Ugh, yes… I remember…"
"If so, I'll protect you until my business in Sea of Trees over. Everything are for my own benefit. Because of that it doesn't matter if it demonic beasts or humans, if they are tried to obstruct my path, they are enemies and enemies must be killed. Simple as that."'
"I, I see…"
Shia consented with a wry smile to that Hajime-like answer. Even if she with "Foresight" saw Hajime confronting the empire, because the future wasn't absolute she didn't know if it'll come true or not. There are others future with higher possibility that she seen, one of it was the future where they become slave under the empire while living a life more painful than death. Because Shia think "it was her fault" even though the others didn't think so, she tried to do with all of her might to confirm which future they'd be in.
"Ha Ha Ha, It was good to understand that. Please leave it to us to guide you through Sea of Trees."
Kam was laughing cheerfully. Rathen than some stupid sense of justice, if everything is under the condition of give and take then it'll be more assuring. His face said it all.
Their party approached the stairs. Hajime gone ahead of them in alert. To escape from the empire's Soldiers, the RabbitMan tribe haven't had drink or eat anything, but their steps are light. It seems the rumour that demi-humans who unable to use magic have higher physical strength instead is true.
And finally, Hajime's group escaped from Raisen Grand canyon.
What they see over the cliff…
"Oioi, seriously. They are survivor. Even though I was reluctantly stay here because of commander order~ If it was like this, I can bring back some good souvenir home."
There are around 30 Soldiers of empire. Behind them there are a lot of wagons/carriages where marks of camp remained to be seen. All of the Soldiers who dressed in Khaki-like uniform and equipped with a sword or spear and a shield, look surprised at Hajime's group.
However, that only last for a sec. Immediately they become delighted when they saw the RabbitMan tribe.
"Platoon leader! The gray haired RabbitMan also there! Isn't she the one commander want?"
"Ooh, it's look like we are lucky. Even though it's ok to kill the others old one, that's the only one you must keep alive."
"Platoon leader~, there are some women in there, can we taste them a little? We have waited here for 3 days after all. Please overlook it~"
"Geez. Don't take all of them. If it was only two, no three then it's okay"
"Hyahho~, as expected of platoon leader! You really can understand us!"
For the empire's Soldiers, RabbitMan tribe seen only as easy prey for them to catch, they approached while licking their lips looking at female RabbitMans. Seeing those Soldiers, the RabbitMan tribe can do nothing but tremble in fright.
Along those clamoring Soldiers, the man who called platoon leader who's currently grinning at those RabbitMans finally notice Hajime's existence.
"Aah? Who are you? It looks like… you're not a RabbitMan."
Hajime, who think it was impossible to just pass through those Soldiers, simply respond.
"Aa, I am human"
"Haa~? Why is a human together with RabbitMan? Even coming from the canyon. Aah, are you a slave merchant? Did you hear this information somewhere? What a great business spirit to come here yourself. Well, sorry but hand them over to the empire now"
Assumption come from the platoon leader, although it was natural if you looks at the situation. He also believe that then give order to Hajime.
Of course there is no need for Hajime to follow it.
"I refuse"
"… Did you just say something?"
"Didn't you hear "I refuse". Those guy are mine now. I won't give you even one. I recommend you to give up and go back to your empire now."
He thought what he hear was a mistake, but he answer back while giving them order. Vein appeared on platoon leader's head.
"… … boy, mind your word. Is something wrong with your head to not understand who we are?"
"I already know everything. Even you won't like to be called something wrong with your head right."
Platoon leader glaring at Hajime after heard his word. The other Soldiers also glared at Hajime creating a tense atmosphere. At that time, the platoon leader probably because of that tense atmosphere finally notice Yue who come from Hajime's back. Inside the tense atmosphere come a young girl, maybe because of the gap, he was enchanted by her beauty for a moment while looking at her tightly holding Hajime's clothes, finally smile reappear at his face.
"Aah~ I see, I finally~ understand now. You're nothing but a naive shitty boy. Let me teach you the severity of this world. Ku ku ku, aren't that young miss over beautiful. After I chop your limb of, I'll violate her in front of your eyes then sell her to the slave merchant"
To that word Hajime frown his eyebrows and even from the expressionless Yue, disgust can be felt by everyone who look at her. Yue who can't forgive that men existence hold out her right hand.
However, it was stopped by Hajime. To the dumbfounded Yue Hajime only say one thing.
"In conclusion you are my enemy, right?"
"Aah!? Did you still not understand the situation! You, bastard should be trembling while seeking forgive-!?"
DOPANn!!
The irritated platoon leader unable to finish his word. The reason is, when one gunshot can be heard, his head was shot. On his head a big hole in the middle of forehead can be seen and brain-matter scattered from the back of his head, then collapsed just like that.
Unable to comprehend what happened, the other soldier can only stare dumbfounded at the platoon leader.
DOPAaaNn!
One gunshot can be heard, and at the same time, six empire's Soldiers' head was shotted. Actually it was six shots, but Hajime's speed was so fast that only one gunshot can be heard.
Naturally, after seen their leader and comrade's head shotted the Soldiers become panicked then turned their weapon to Hajime. Though they don't know how, they understood who the cause, what a precise judgement. Personality aside, as expected of empire's Soldiers. Their ability is real.
The Soldiers immediately move forward while the rear started to chant. However, something immediately rolled over to their feet. A black, cylindrical object. What is this? though they puzzled but it they only looked without interrupting their chant and they turn into corpses in the next moment.
DOGAaNn!!
That's because the black object, "grenade", exploded. Moreover metal pieces burst from it just like a "fragmentation grenade". Compared to the real one, it's power was far stronger. It was only able to be created because of this world's unique ore.
Only with one move, around 10 Soldiers immediately died, with their hands and feet blown off, their organs scattered, in addition seven more figures can be heard groaning in pain.
To the explosion in the back, seven Soldiers who act as vanguard immediately stopped their charge. Wondering what happened, six Soldiers who looked at their back, along with their other companions immediately crumbled because of a shot through their head. Blood sprayed around, however one of them remain alive, having lost his power, and remain at his spot. It was not wonder. Only in a moment, his companions was annihilated. It was not like their forces are weak. In fact, there are some elites who complained having received the orders. Therefore, with an expression asking if he was inside a nightmare, his glance wandering around.
And to his ear, an aloof voice can be heard from the cause of this tragedy.
"Un, as expected, if it was against human there is no need to use "Lightning-clad". The usual bullet and mechanism was enough. Combusting stone is REALLY a convenient one."
That soldier was surprised and start to turned to Hajime in fright. Hajime while tapping Donner to his shoulder, slowly approached that soldier. His figure who brought death along with his fluttering black coat, made him look like a grim reaper. At least it looks like that to the surviving soldier.
"Hii, do-don't come! N-no, I don't want to die. So-someone! Help me!"
That soldier tried plead for his life. His face distorted in fear and liquid leaking from his groin. Hajime look at him coldly and to the soldier who tried to flee, he slowly open fire in succession.
"Hii!"
No impact can be coming to that soldier. What Hajime shot was the Soldiers who was severely injured by the grenades. When he notice it, the last surviving soldier timidly looks around, this time he finally see the disastrous scene of annihilation with his own eyes.
The gun's muzzle finally aimed at the stiffened soldier. Again, his body shook, and with an unbecoming expression he started to plead for his life.
"I, I ask you! Please don't kill me! I, I'll do anything! Please!"
"Is that so? Then. tell me what happened to the other RabbitMans. Even though there should be a lot of them… …have they been transported to the empire?"
What Hajime tried to ask was, it takes time for hundred people along with RabbitMans to move around, so it'll be okay to help them on the way if they are near. Well, if they are already arrived at the empire then there is no need to purposely help them.
"… Wi-will you spare me if I tell you?"
"You, did you think you're in any position to ask me? Well, it's not like I need those information. Should I kill you now?"
"Ple-please wait! I will say it! I will say it! … They are probably have been transported, because we already reach the quota…"
The "quota", in other word those who won't sell, such as elderly was killed. Hearing that word, bitter expression appear on RabbitMans' faces. Hajime take a peek at their expression. Immediately he glance back at the soldier, in his eyes killing intent can be seen.
"Wait! Please wait! I will tell you anything! About the empire or anything you want! So please!"
Having noticed his killing intent, the soldier desperately plead for his life. And, answer his plead was…
DOPANn!
One bullet.
At this all of RabbitMans hold their breath. Added that, Hajime's completely unforgiving behaviour. Fear appear in some of them. Who know if Shia also feel the same, she timidly ask him.
"I-isn't okay to just overlook that person…"
Haa? Hajime glance at her with amazed expression and Shia only can mutter "Ugh". To the one that killed their family members, also tried to enslave them, looks like the RabbitMan tribe can forgive them. When Hajime tried to say something, Yue immediately told them.
"… Once, the weapon was pulled, the result, even if the opponent was strong they'll be inconvenience sooner or later…"
"Th-tha is…"
"… In the first place, how can you look at Hajime with that kind of eyes even though he protected you…"
"…"
It seems Yue was angry. Even though they are protecting them, she won't forgive those who harbor negative feeling toward Hajime. Even though it was natural, the RabbitMan tribe can feel their guilt.
"Fumu, Hajime-dono, I apologize. It's not like we blame you. It just that, for us it was the first time we saw something like that… … that's right, we are only surprised by it."
"Hajime-san, I am sorry."
Having heard Shia and Kam apologize to him representing their tribe, Hajime only waved his hands to tell them not to worry about it.
After that, Hajime go to where the horses and wagons/carriages are then told the RabbitMans to hop on. Even though it take half a day walking to Sea of Trees, since there are horses and wagons/carriages they should use it. He take out the magic-driven 2 wheeler(bike) from the "treasure warehouse" and link it to one of the wagon/carriage. The party continue their course to Sea of Trees.
Also, Yue use wind magic to drop the empire's Soldiers' corpse to the canyon. What lefts are nothing but pool of blood.

Chapter 2 : Shia's Feelings and Haltina, Sea of Trees

One of 7 Great Dungeons, "Haltina Sea of Trees" where the country of demi-humans Faea Belgaen resided in. Thanks to the magic-driven two wheeler pulling two large carriages and dozens of horses, Hajime and his party able to advance forward with a rather fast pace.
On the two wheeler, Hajime sit behind Yue, while Shia is sit behind him. At first, Shia was told to ride on the carriage, but she insisted to get on the two wheeler. Even though Yue keep beating her, but she keep clinging just like a zombie and finally Yue give up. Shia who finally meet two people that "same" as her, seems wanted to talk about various things. She keep hugging Hajime. It seems Shia like to sit behind Hajime on the two wheeler… and sometime she flail her limbs around! that's what Yue think.
Hajime who was sandwiched between ill-humored Yue and good-humored Shia, only absentmindedly drive the two wheeler.
In that state, Hajime heard Yue's voice.
"… … Hajime, why did you fight by yourself?"
"N?"
Yue was talking about the fight with empire's Soldiers. At that time, after stopping her from using magic, Hajime fought them alone. Even though there'd be no much differences other than Yue "Instant Kill" the Soldiers, she thought Hajime was too eager to fight alone, and that made Yue anxious.
"N~,well, I just wanted to confirm…"
"… … confirm?"
Yue asked him with doubtful face. Shia also start to feel intrigued over his shoulder.
"Aa, that was…"
What Hajime said basically this.
First, Hajime stopped Yue because he wanted to fight the empire's Soldiers as an "experiment". Even though it looks like he head-shot all of them, actually he also shot at their armors. Why he did that, because to fight humans using railgun is completely overkill, it'd be too dangerous to use it in town or wherever they are because of its penetrating power. Though there is no problem to turn thugs into dust, it'd penetrate into residence housing and killed whoever inside! something like that, like a complete scum. For Hajime, he didn't want to become someone who indiscriminately kill unrelated people. So, it was necessary to measure the proper amount of power. After looking at the result of this experiment, he'll be able to fine-tuning it.
The other reason was to confirm whether there'd hesitation for him to kill humans. Even though he was changedeborn, he have not experience in killing human yet. Therefore, he tried to see his reaction before and after killing those Soldiers. The result is, "he didn't feel anything about it". As expected, if they are enemies then he can kill them without mercy.
"And well, even though it was my first murder, when I think that I've changed because I didn't feel anything about it, it make me somewhat sentimental…"
"… … that… Are you okay?"
"Aah, there is no problem. This is the current me, I am just glad that I'll be able to fight properly from now on."
Having heard Hajime's story, Shia was surprised that it was his first murder. At the same time, she admired Yue who was able to noticed the slight change on Hajime (probably only limited to Hajime). And once again, she felt a little lonely because she still doesn't know anything about them.
"Un, that! Can I hear more about Hajime-san and Yue-san?"
"? Aren't we talking about it now."
"Ah, what I want to know wasn't about your skill but something like why are you inside the Abyss? or what are your objectives? or what have you done until now? I want to know more about you two."
"… … after you heard it, what then?"
"Even if you ask that, I just want to know. … … I, because of my circumstance, have brought a lot of trouble to my family. I disliked it so much when I was a child… … but of course everyone told me to not mind it and now I don't hate myself anymore… … even so, I still feel I was an oddball in this world… Therefore, I was happy. When I met the two of you, to find someone with similar existence as me and to know that I'm not alone, this overflowing feeling was… … although it was selfish of me, t-to w-wanted becoming your companion… … that's why, that, can you tell me more about the two of you… … whatever you can tell me…"
It seems Shia was embarrassed by her own words, her voice became smaller and she tried to hide behind Hajime's back. When Hajime and Yue think of when they meet Shia for the first time, they remember how incredibly happy she was. At that time, Yue was having complex feelings, immediately they tried to save Haulia tribe from the attacking demonic beasts and she found out how they are capable of using magic inside the canyon. Surely, Shia must have been felt anxious since then.
Surely, in this world, those who have the same constitution as demonic beast won't be accepted. It was not impossible to have a sense of camaraderie. Though that was said, for Hajime and Yue, there exist no sense of camaraderie. But… because it'll take some time until they arrived at the Sea of Trees, also because there are nothing to hide and when they think it'll be good to kill some times, Hajime and Yue start to tell their story.
And the result is…
"Ue, sob… cruel, how cruel~, Hajime-san and Yue-san have it hard~. Co-compared to that, I was blessed… Uu~, I didn't lack anything at all~"
She cried. While crying sometime "I was too naive" or "I won't complain anymore" can be heard. Then, naturally, she wipe her face using Hajime's overcoat. Apparently, she thought her circumstance was worst but compared to Hajime and Yue's circumstances, it seems she felt miserable about herself to think that way.
After crying for a while, suddenly Shia clasp her fist and with resolute expression she declared.
"Hajime-san! Yue-san! I have decided! I'll join your travel! From now on, this Shia Haulia under this sun promised to help the two of you! There is no need to be reserved. The tree of us are comrades. Let's overcome the hardship and find the hope together!"
To Shia's sudden declaration, Hajime and Yue only give her a cold look.
"What were the weak and need to be protected rabbit just said? You'll only be a hindrance."
"… … casually changing from "I want to be a comrade" into "comrade"… Shameless rabbit."
"Wh-why the cold look?… … aren't you moved… now that you mention it, please properly call me by my name."
Shia was shaking because her eagerness resulted in their cold look. And additional blow was given.
"… … you, aren't you simply want someone to become your travel companion?"
"!?"
Shia was shocked by his words.
"Once your tribe safety is secured, you, you wanted to stay away from them, right? And come good situation that we who was the "same" showed up, have you decided to go with us? Well, of course having that unusual hair color for a RabbitMan would make it hard to travel alone."
"… … umm, that, even if you say that… … I only wanted to…"
Maybe because it hit the bull's eye, Shia stuttered her word. The truth was she already determined that once she gained Hajime's cooperation and her tribe safety was secured she will leave them. Because as long as she was there, her tribe will be always in dangers. Even now a lot of tribe members were lost. Who know next they will likely be annihilated. Shia was unable to endure it. Of course, her tribe didn't think so and it'll only look like she betrayed her tribe. But, "even with that" she already decided it.
At worst, she'll go alone, but that'd make her tribe even more worried. On the other hand, if she said it was to repay Hajime and Yue who have overwhelming strength, then it will be easier to convince her tribe to let her leave. "Desperation" can be seen in Shia's behavior and speech now.
Of course, it was true that Shia was interested in Hajime and Yue. As Hajime had said when Shia found out Hajime and Yue were "same" as her, she felt strong sense of camaraderie with them. Even when she thinks about her tribe circumstance, it was as if it was "fate" for Shia to met Hajime and Yue.
"Well, it's not like I can blame you to think so. Even so, don't expect anything. Our objective was the Seven Great Dungeons. Most likely the dungeon's interior infested with monster similar to Abyss. You'll be instantly killed and that's the end. Therefore, I won't allow you to go with us"
"… …"
Hajime's relentless word make Shia fell silent. Hajime and Yue who were unconcerned about it, continue their attacks.
From then on, Shia was quietly sitting on the two wheeler with an expression that was difficult to read.
After several hours, their party finally arrived at the border of "Haltina Sea of Trees". From the outside of Sea of Trees, they don't only see the dense forest, but it seems as soon as they entered they'll be covered by fog.
"Well then, Hajime-dono, Yue-dono. Please don't ever part from us in here. Even though it was possible for you to advance by yourself, it'll be a problem if you get lost here. Also, our destination is in the depth of this forest, under the Great Tree right?"
"Aah, I have only heard about it, it seems there is a way to the real dungeon there."
Kam was confirming Hajime's destination in the Sea of Trees. What Kam called Great Tree was a huge tree that exist in the depth of "Haltina Sea of Trees", it also called "Great Tree Ua Alt" by demi-humans, and seems like it become a sacred place that no one dare to approached. It was a story they heard from Kam when they escaped from the canyon.
At first, Hajime thought "Haltina Sea of Trees" was one large dungeon, but when he think that if that was true then the wandering demonic beasts would be as strong as the one inside the Abyss, it would be impossible for demi-humans to live there. Even for "Orcus Great Dungeon", they are only able to guessed where is the true entrance. So, he became suspicious when heard about "Great Tree" from Kam.
Kam who nodding at Hajime's word, signaled to the other tribe members to make formation with Hajime in the center.
"Hajime-dono, if possible please erase your presence. Great Tree was a sacred place so there are no one and it was prohibited to approached it, but there is possibility to encounter someone from Faea Belgaen or other inhabitants(villagers). We are wanted person after all so it'd be a problem if they found us."
"Aah, I'll do that. Yue and me are, to some degree, able to do that so it's okay."
Hajime use the skill "Hide Presence". Yue also thinned her presence using the method she create in Abyss.
"-!? This is… … Hajime-dono, if it's possible, can you adjust it to the same as Yue-dono?"
"N? … … something like this?"
"Yes, that is enough. If you hide it as much as a while ago, even we will lose sight of you. No, ah, as expected of you!"
In the first place, although their specs are lower, RabbitMan tribe excel in stealth operation and search operation using sound. And it seems, Yue's skill for hiding her presence that she create in the Abyss was quite excellence to use it on the surface. However, Hajime "Hide Presence" skill was more powerful. If it was at typical place, they'll be able to find him, but inside Sea of Trees, even with RabbitMan tribe's specialty they might be unable to find him.
Having her tribe's specialty surpassed by humans, Kam can only smile wryly. Beside him, Yue was proudly puffed up her chest. Shia was complexed. Probably because of the difference in ability that Hajime just show.
"Then, shall we go?"
Under Kam's words, their party start to advance, Kam and Shia head into Sea of Trees with complex feelings (deppressed).
After a while, they are unable to see the road anymore. Immediately thick fog surround them and their sight was cut off. However, there is no hesitation in Kam's steps. He seems to completely understand their location and direction to take. Although it was not known why, demi-humans and only demi-humans were able to understand their current location and accurately move around the Sea of Trees.
While advancing, suddenly Kam and his tribe stopped and began to look around their surrounding. There are demonic beasts' presences. Naturally, Hajime and Yue also can feel it. Apparently they are surrounded by demonic beasts. The RabbitMan tribe pick the knives that given by Hajime when they entered the Sea of Trees. If it was the normal, they'll just escape with their ability, but they can't do it now. Tense expression appear on all of the tribe members.
And, suddenly Hajime quickly shook his left hand. Faintly sound of something flew (PASHu) echoes in succession.
Immediately,
DOSA-, DOSA-, DOSA-
""" KIiiii!?"""
Scream can be heard along with the three sounds of collapsing. And, panic can be felt coming from the fog area, three monkey-like creatures with height around 60 cm and four arm each can be seen moving around.
Yue hold up her hand aiming at one of them then mutter in whisper-like voice.
""Wind Blade""
Having said the name of her magic, wind of blade appear and rushed toward, without any resistance that monkey-look-a-like was slashed apart in the air. Without any chance to scream that monkey-look-a-like fall to the ground.
The other two was moving separately. One of them approached a child, while the other aimed its four arms equipped with sharp claw toward Shia. Shia and the child were instinctively stunned and unable to move. Meanwhile, the nearby adults were yelling… … but that was just baseless worry.
Once again, Hajime shook his left arm and PASHuu! sound can be heard then the head of the monkey-look-a-like that tried to approach Shia and the child struck with countless number of 10 cm long needles.
What Hajime just used was Needlegun that's equipped on his artificial left arm. He got the hint from "Scorpion-look-a-like" that he fought before, then create the Needlegun. To fired it he used "Lightning-clad" though it was not at the level of Donner-Schlag but it has enough power. Even though it only have range of 10 m, it was silent, and added with poison it became convenient to use. It can be said it was one of dark-weapon series. Because they are inside the Sea of Trees and they didn't wanted to attract attention, Donner-Schlag can't be used.
"Th-thank you, Hajime-san"
"Onii-chan, thanks!"
Shia and the child (boy) thanked him. Hajime gesture them not to worry about it. The boy look at him with sparkling eyes, while Shia suddenly dropped her shoulders because she can do nothing but stunned in such times.
Kam only wryly smiled at her. They continued to guide him after being urged by Hajime.
Afterward, even though some demonic beasts come to attack them, Hajime and Yue quietly dealt them. The demonic beasts of the Sea of Trees, who were considered as troublesome by the mass, were not a problem for them.
However, after several hours passed since they enter the Sea of Trees, innumerable presences that can't be compared to before can be felt, Hajime and his party stopped their advance. Their killing intent and teamwork can't be compared to the demonic beasts they encounter before. Kam and his tribe start to restlessly search for their location.
And then, a worried and lose expression appear on their face while they gripped their hand. As for Shia, her face became pale.
Hajime and Yue who noticed the other party's identity, feel that it'll be troublesome.
The others was
"You are… … why are you together with humans! Tell us from what tribe are you now!"
It was muscular demi-humans with ears and tails similar to a tiger
