【UnderWood】An underground city in a bustling temporary market.

Asukina took Esther's little hand and walked down the crowded street.

She held a cone identical to Esther's in her hand, and the two of them ate as they walked, enjoying the joy of the harvest sacrifice.

"I can't believe it, this place was attacked by the Demon King not long ago, and now it's actually recovered."

“Yes！ We are able to do this thanks to the efforts of all of you! ”

The black rabbit jumped in front, turned around when he heard the words, put his hands behind his back and showed a sweet smile, and the pair of ears on the top of his head flicked around looking very happy.

"Black Rabbit, you also have a lot of strength!"

"It's all trifles! Lily, they're working hard! I'm still busy preparing for the opening ceremony~! ”

The children, especially the older ones, were very happy to be able to come here with the adults to participate in the harvest festival, so they seemed to be extremely happy to help even when they were called in, and they were very diligent in their work, which made the members of [Six Injuries] love these children from [NoName] as well.

"By the way, Black Rabbit, what do you think Hayasha will do if he calls Mo over?"

"I don't know......"

The black rabbit blinked and said as he surveyed the various stalls around him.

“…… I heard that the Eastern District was also attacked during the last attack of the Demon King, and I haven't seen Hakuyasha-sama since then, so I don't know what happened to her. ”

"It should be fine, after all, it's a class dominator - really, why not, I've been looking for it for so long."

"Huh?"

The Black Rabbit turned his head to look at Asukina.

"What's not?"

"A barbecue rabbit shop!"

The black rabbit's face turned green on the spot: "Please, please, please, please, please, please don't say such a terrible thing, okay Tomorrow-sama!! ”

Just when Black Rabbit and Asukina were fighting, there was a sudden commotion in front.

"Huh?"

The ears on the top of the black rabbit's head moved, and he glanced at Asukina. The two of them took Esther to the scene of the riot at a brisk pace.

"Let go, please let go!"

Squeezing through the crowd, Black Rabbit and Assuna find a girl lying on the ground covered in wounds.

“…… She was!? ”

The black rabbit's eyes widened.

This girl she had seen was one of the enemies who launched an attack among the giants during the [UnderWood] underground city attack.

The sleeveless black dress was torn everywhere, and the short coat tied around the waist was stained with blood. The long, beautiful black hair has also become dirty.

The girl, who was already a little unconscious, raised her head with difficulty and wanted to say something after seeing Black Rabbit and Asuka, but she collapsed to the ground and passed out completely.

Asukina frowned and immediately stepped forward to check the girl's injuries.

“…… It's so serious, how did she make it here? ”

"Akira, Tomorrow-sama, she's an enemy, isn't she?"

"But the injury is so bad, if you don't care, you'll die, right?"

The kind-hearted Asukina shook her head, in fact, the black rabbit was a little unbearable when she saw the girl's injury.

So with the help of Asukina, the black rabbit picked up the girl.

"Please wait—"

A member of the Six Wounds stepped forward to stop the two.

"Honorable Hakowa nobles. And a friend from [NoName], who is our enemy! ”

"The bounty game is over."

Asukina stood in front of this cat man with a serious expression.

"This child is obviously not hostile to us even if she is so badly injured, maybe she has any important news to tell us?"

"This ......"

The cat people were a little hesitant.

"What's going on? What's going on? ”

An active voice rang out.

Aixia jumped high and flew over everyone's heads and landed in front of Asukina.

"Huh? Is that you? ”

"Miss Aixia? What about Master Jack? Black Rabbit looked very happy to see Aixia.

"I'm busy supervising the people below to make the goods to be sold at the harvest festival, speaking of which, the black rabbit, you are holding...... Huh? Isn't that the one we fought last time? ”

Aixia, who saw the girl held by the black rabbit, shook a pair of dazzling double ponytails in surprise.

"Yes, anyway, let's go for treatment first, and by the way, notify Lord Sarah!"

The members of the cat clan of [Six Wounds] gritted their teeth. Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and inform the speaker." This guy is up to you. ”

"Don't worry!"

◇

Gently putting down the report in her hand, Sarah frowned.

"The new East End Dominator...... Yakumo Mo? ”

Just now, she received news from the Eastern District that the original class ruler Hakuyasha had resigned and was replaced by Yakumo from [NoName].

For Yakumo Mo, out of the events of the Battle of the Dragons. Sarah has some affection and trust in her.

"If it's him, maybe we will be able to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the Eastern District in the future......

Buckle buckle clasp.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

When the door opened, a member of the Alliance walked briskly into the office.

"Speaker, this is the news that just came back from below."

"What's the matter?"

"At the makeshift market, we found the last enemy member ......"

"What? Are they still planning to attack!? ”

"It's not like that......"

Wait until you hear about the situation in detail. Sarah's brow furrowed even tighter.

"Where is that man now?"

"I have been taken to the medical point of [Six Injuries] by the nobles of [NoName]'s Hakoten."

"I see, it's over."

◇

[Six Injuries] Temporary medical point.

After seeing a girl from the fox clan bandaging the wounds on Caili Ling's body, Asuna asked, "How is she?" ”

"The injuries on my body have been treated, but it will take a few days to wake up."

The fox girl said as she cleaned up the remaining bandages.

Asuna looked at Cairi Ling, who was wrapped in a mummy on the hospital bed, and pursed her lips tightly: "What the hell is going on?" I've heard of the battle with you, and she's not weak. What about the others who were with her? ”

"There is no news, we have carefully searched the vicinity of the venue, and we have not found any other suspicious people."

The answer to Asukina was Gryghon Griffon, who had rushed over with the inquiry.

At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the hallway, and Sarah walked in with her entourage.

"What's going on?"

Gurley immediately stepped forward to explain the cause and effect of the incident.

After Sarah listened, she stared closely at Rei Cairi, who was unconscious on the bed.

"Sarah-sama, do you have any news?" Black Rabbit asked.

"No...... Now I don't know anything. ”

Sarah shook her head in annoyance.

"The worst-case scenario is that we may have to face an even more dangerous attack from the Demon King than the last one......"

The atmosphere in the room instantly became extremely oppressive. (To be continued.) )
