"I'm going to have to wait another eight hours, be attentive, concentrate—" Cai Yue was forced to interrupt only halfway through her words!

- Hmm! At the moment when the eardrum caught a slight strange sound, Caiyue's body retreated to the side without hesitation.

In addition to engaging all the senses, it is also a dodge action that is decided in advance.

Immediately afterward, the sound of an overweight object crushing the trees was heard. The felled trees rippled around them, and the sound of leaves and branches breaking and scattering danced wildly.

Natsuki rushed out of there and jumped off the cliff in one go.

"-uhh

Even if you grit your teeth, you still can't suppress some of the screams, and your internal organs taste the floating sensation of churning when you fall. However, the fall was interrupted by an escape rope only two seconds later, and the pain of being tightened made people wail.

"Urgent...... Escaped ......! ”

Cutting the rope with a knife, the sole of the shoe desperately clung to the sloping rock wall during the fall again. Skidped, hit the shoulder, but still managed to land rough on the ground. Cai Yue didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief, so she started running.

In order to make his body lighter, he even threw away the prop bag, without worrying about his appearance, and said while panting: See! Huh...... Well, see!!

The object that the Pleiades knocked down the trees - it was an iron ball about the size of a human head. The object that can be said to make bowling balls lethal is a weapon characterized by a long chain - the meteor hammer!

The metallic sound heard by Caiyue, who was lying still, came from the iron chain, and the timbre was no different from the murder weapon.

After witnessing the power and ferocity, it was only now that Natsuki began to tremble in her teeth.

If that kind of mass flies over with accuracy, it's not surprising that the body that withstands a direct hit will be torn apart, and it's understandable that half of Natsuki's body will be knocked away.

"But...... It's actually attacking me?! "Trampling on tree branches, crossing ravines, running all over the bad mountain roads where she is based, Nanazuki spat as she ran.

The attack on Caiyue Pleiades was expected. Just like attacking the mansion, the enemy is likely to attack the Nagetsu Pleiades who leave the mansion. If the goal is to kill all the people involved, then of course Caiyue Pleiades will also be the target.

"But that's on the premise of knowing I've been in that house for days!" The attackers had been monitoring the mansion for several days, drawing up elaborate plans.

That's why he will regard the Nagetsu Pleiades who left the house as one of the targets, and attack him with the vigilance.

"-Woo!" Caiyue's breathing became more and more rapid, and her lungs were also aching from the rapid incoming and outgoing airflow, and her feet seemed to be slippery, and she almost fell just now.

As a result of being too desperate, he lost his way, and ran wildly on the beast path with no priority of not falling, and Natsuki Pleiades, who was not confident in his staying power, smacked his lips for the situation in front of him in his chaotic breathing.

"I... It didn't escape the palm of the enemy's hand at all. Ahead of her feet, there was a large cliff that seemed to imprison you, and Natsuki moaned with remorse.

The rock wall, where you can see hard and sharp fragments, is a natural crux to resist climbing and stepping on. Of course, the current Natsuki Pleiades have no means to cross here.

Natsuki turned around, adjusted her chaotic breathing, and put on a posture.

Directly ahead, the darkness in the forest unconsciously deepened, and the space where the sunset was hidden by the trees was filled with a sense of isolation and loneliness.

"Come here if you want to!" With resoluteness to drive away the deflated, Natsuki opened the zipper of the sportswear and took off the top. Holding his outstretched shirt in both hands, he waited silently for the attacker to arrive.

Chased and cornered, Natsuki is now nothing more than a powerless prey caught in a predator's trap. However, it seems that he has no intention of being eaten obediently.

He was to charge the price corresponding to the sacrifice.

- In an instant, violence brought chain timbre from the other side of the darkness and flew at high speed.

"I... I'm ...... Perseverance!! The fatal blow was approaching, and Natsuki's body showed a reflexivity beyond common sense. Raising his shirt with both hands, he slapped the flying iron ball directly underneath it, deflecting the flight path and successfully avoiding the impact that came straight towards his body by a millimeter.

However, the shirt was unscrewed off, and Caiyue's body was hit against the rock wall with the unstoppable impact.

However, the moment he looked up and saw the iron ball that had deviated from the target sinking into the mountain wall, Natsuki Pleia, who had thought that the plan had been successful, jumped up and firmly grasped the straightened iron chain.

Then he glared at the other end of the chain—in the direction of the attacker with the weapon.

"Hey, show up, bastard turtle grandson! I've worked so hard to see you! Caiyue used angry insults to cheer herself up.

Holding the chain in one hand and re-grasping the knife used to cut the rope in the other, he would have been able to swing the knife at his attacker in the worst case. If there is a need for that, Natsuki Pleiades will never hesitate."

He stared intently into the darkness, confident that no matter what kind of opponent appeared, he would never miss it.

Although Fang had just fallen into a desperate situation, he still picked up a small life, and he didn't need to sacrifice anyone this time to repel the attackers.

In the state of giving up for a while, Caiyue Pleiades desperately stretched out to the optimistic light.

In the light are Emilia, the maid sisters, the arrogant maiden, and Rozval. Natsuki tries to gather and collect memories with them that no longer exist in this world.

There are several agreements that I want to fulfill, that I want to conclude, but now I can't convey them.

Then......

"-I can't help it." The chain made a sound, and it felt like the straightened chain was falling as its owner approached.

However, leaving aside that subtle feeling, Natsuki couldn't help but widen her eyes as she looked at the figure in front of her.

His lips trembled, and his silent voice slipped out of his throat as a moan. The fingers unconsciously let go of the chain they were holding, and the neck shook gently from side to side as if it were resisting reality.

"Liar...... Lie, why... Why would it be you!! Caiyue asked with wide eyes in disbelief.
