Formicea Chapter 137

- Alea -

What did I just do?

I thought...

I don't know what I thought.

Apparently, nothing if I look at the result.

I just did as I was told.

It felt like the right thing to do.

Well, I went with the flow.

Everything was so chaotic and I completely failed to understand what was even happening.

I... I was scared of what would happen to if I got caught.

So calling for help didn't seem too wrong.

I didn't know!

I was just running, trying to avoid the guards who surely found it weird that a kid was running away from the event.

Then I got caught.

I panicked and, and...

I scread!

Naturally, in this weird screeching speech.

I'm not even completely sure what I said since it was about so much at once.

My confusion about this sudden turmoil, my fear when there was fighting close by, and what might happen next.

Then there might've also been sothing about Honiu contained in my call since she was the one who instructed to do so.

It just felt sowhat right.

Was it right?

The guards were confused and looked strangely at for the weird sound I made and started questioning.

But before I could even answer there was first a tremor in the ground.

The one holding let go and I jumped away.

Before they could grab again the wave ca.

An endless flood of those creatures.

Small, big, huge, in all shapes, they were running towards the very hall I ca from.

I couldn't possibly fathom that they might rush at us like this.

This wasn't to be expected, right?

They just were suddenly everywhere.

They didn't even care for the guards in the way.

At least not for those who jumped to the side in ti.

Those who tried to lash out...

...there are now so stained red spots on the floor.

Now I'm standing in the hallway after the stampede has passed by.

It's like back then when my hotown was destroyed.

Just with all the monsters in addition.

For so reason, I didn't get trampled.

It was as if they intentionally avoided .

All that's left now are the few guards who were left alive and a horde of the insects who seem to be waiting.

"Girl! What was that?!" (guard)

"She called them! It was her!" (guard)

"She did that!" (guard)

"Why? What is going on?! (guard)

"Don't you understand?! She's responsible!" (guard)

They're upset and I think they have a good reason to be.

It's my fault.

Obviously.

Had I not called out to them they wouldn't have co.

I called them.

It was !

One of the guards is now close and I don't know his intentions.

But before he can do anything, I find that two of the mid-sized ones block him off.

And then there's even a giant approaching from behind .

The man still tries to grab but is brought down by the workers, who pin him to the ground, one claw even clamping around his face.

The figure of the giant behind alone is enough to keep the others from approaching.

"Wade!" (guard)

"Please, stop!" (guard)

"We surrender!" (guard)

They shout and call out at the monsters but those won't stop and the guards are unable to approach.

I on the other side, am too overwheld to even move.

People died here, are even now dying, and this only because of !

Just what should I do?

Suddenly, one of the guards looks directly at and speaks.

"O-okay, we understand! Just tell them to let Wade go! They're killing him! He has a wife and kids!" (guard)

He's asking !?

What am I supposed to do?

I don't want this man to die because of my actions but how should I stop them from mauling his head?

Should I... I could try talking to them!

(K)

"But Ie caused thies!" (A)

I point at all the chaos that is apparent in this room alone.

(K)

Well, when he puts it that way.

(H)

Beginning?

What is beginning?

(A)
