Finally, we are on our way to exterminate the demons.
I feel scared to face the demons, and I also feel that I have to finish the job. ...... Many emotions are dancing in my heart.
I walk with Gaius, Ilkesai, and the other children.
Our first priority is to provide logistical support. We are not strong enough to fight the demon directly. We realize this even more when it comes time to fight the demons.
The child griffons are also supposed to provide logistical support along with us.
Plant demons, terrifying demons, demons that demand sacrifices from the elves.
We are about to face that demon.
I am scared, I feel.
I squeezed the hand of Gaius, who was standing next to me, unintentionally. Gaius also squeezed my hand. I think Gaius is also anxious.
I held the hands of the other children, too. Because he seemed anxious. I was anxious too, and we were all anxious. I was anxious, but I didn't want to just watch. With that in mind, we are here, wanting to fight together.
I clenched my fist and resolved to do my best.
From the village of elves, it was about a two-hour walk.
The first thing that comes into view is a huge tree. It seemed to glow a little. The tree's presence was amazing, even though it was supposed to be a distance away. It was a fantastic sight. The sight takes my breath away, and I want to get closer and closer. But my footsteps are stopped.
Don't come any closer.
Sireba said to me. I stop.
Yes, there is a demon under the tree of spirits, I thought. I knew that even if I wanted to get close to them, I should not.
The demons are ...... tormenting the elves, and I wonder where the demons are that are demanding sacrifices. I looked around from that spot, feeling uneasy. I honestly don't know where the monster is.
A plant monster.
We are in a forest, so there are a lot of plants here.
Sireba says.
That's the demon over there.
I hear the voice of Mr. Shireva, sounding disgusted. She pointed to the foot of the spirit tree. It is smaller than the ...... spirit tree. But it is thicker than most plants. At the end of the stem is a flower. A big, big red flower. It is facing down. It is lying face down on the ground, and it looks up as if ----- a person were to raise its face.
The center of the red petal is blue. The blue part opens. Is it a mouth? Everything in the center of it.
The mouth opens with a flap.
Did it eat the elves with its mouth? Just the thought of it frightened me. The body trembled a little.
A huge plant. Even from a distance, it was this big. I wonder how big it really is.
"......We will defeat that demon in the name of the spirit tree. Failure is not an option. If you fail, you will only die."
Sireba said, looking over at the elves.
We cannot continue to be sacrificed. We cannot win by our own strength. We are unwilling to do so, but with their help, we will defeat them. If we do not defeat it, our future will not open. ......Relunda."
As if heading toward the elves, Sireba turned to me.
She said, "...... Lelunda, you have been a catalyst for us. I thank you for that. We gave up and didn't even try to fight, thinking we couldn't win. You said you could do it. I believe your words. It seems that Spirit-sama also agreed with your opinion."
Shireva turned away.
I'm going to go now. Are you ready, beastman?
I don't care if you want to ...... call me by my name. I'd rather you call me by my name.
If ...... you win this, I'll call you by your name.
That's the signal.
That's the beginning.
He is looking for the best time to do the most damage to the demons in his vision. The demon plopped down again. It does not look up.
Everyone is moving toward the demon.
The griffons, the seafos, the elves.
The elves.
The beastmen.
All of them --- they are heading toward it.
On my side were Wanon, the child griffons and their children, including Gaius---as well as a few elves and beastmen who stayed behind to provide logistical support.
I will do whatever I can do.
I don't even know what I can do, but --- I will do whatever I can. I'll do whatever I can, and I'll do my best for everyone.
I wished so, and in front of me, the monster --- reality hit me.
----- girl and the extermination of the demon 1
(The girl, who is probably a child of God, went to exterminate the demons. The girl sees a huge demon in front of her eyes. The demon slammed reality into the girl's vision.)
