Really, why did it turn out like this?
As I moved to evade the oncoming fist, I murmured this.
By all rights, around this ti, I shouldve been resting to relieve the fatigue from walking around the forest.
Around this ti, I shouldve been snuggly asleep in my futon.
Even so, the place I was in right now was the complete opposite of that.
Moreover, the one with an outward appearance of a loli was swinging her fist downwards towards .
Unconsciously, I raised my head and looked up towards the sky.
Soone, let rest.
Various things developed too rapidly and I was soon at my limit.
We arrived, and then imdiately after one-sidedly introducing herself, the small fist ca falling down.
The dainty fist seemingly held no strength, but I had just seen it send Kyousuke flying.
It was the result of the experiences Ive had up until now that I was able to promptly avoid it.
Missing its target, her fist swung through the air without pause and punched a hole into the ground.
The cracks spidered outwards, and my face stiffened when I saw the crater.
I couldnt speak for others, but her superhuman strength made it impossible to believe that she was human.
Seeing that I had nimbly dodged it, Noas eyes widened.
Hou. It seems that youre more capable than the hero over there. How interesting.
Seeing her lick her lips in a belligerent manner, chills ran down my spine.
The atmosphere around Noa changed.
The montThreat Detectionsounded in alarm, I followed my instincts and lowered my head.
Noa had co behind in an instant and her fist swung above my head.
The ends of my hair were cut off and fell onto the ground.
I gulped at the sound of her fist ripping through the air.
Was it just who felt that she was truly trying to kill .
If I was on the receiving end of it, it would be the end, in various ways.
Oi, old hag! Are you trying to kill him!?
As expected, did Kurou also think that it was dangerous, as he hurriedly tried to put a stop to it.
Seeing that, Noa raised her eyebrows.
Trying to kill him? My son is saying sothing strange. Of course I am.
Thick killing intent started leaking out from that small body of hers.
My body temperature imdiately dropped, and I started to tremble.
Noas actual strength was probably higher than Kurous and mine.
No one here, was a match for her.
I could hear the sound of soone gulping.
Otherwise, it would be the previous generation all over again. You didnt forget, did you? Despite the fact that those people were praised so extravagantly, the only ones who reached the demon king were you and the previous hero. In the end, you were done in by the demon kings aide.
For what reason are you the hero? Why did you co to the demon territory?, Noa quietly asked this as she swung her fist towards .
Bending backwards, her fist missed the tip of my nose.
Thats why Im here. You did well to get to this point. However, you can not go any further.
Those eyes filled with firm determination, as expected, they were parent and child.
She closely resembled Kurou when he commissioned to kill Gram.
I cant let anymore young people die in vain because of the demons.
I didnt like those words, by any ans.
Continuing to avoid the deadly attacks that she threw even as she was in the middle of a conversation, I caught her fist for the first ti.
Her shoulder shook, and her focus turned from Kurou to .
I dont know if youre Kurous mother or what, but stop talking nonsense when you know nothing about our situation.
We too had our reasons.
We ca this far because of it.
I dont know if this path was correct.
Even if we could visually see our levels , I dont know we were a match for the demon king.
Even if I t Mahiro, I dont know if we could return to our original world using his magic circles either.
Even if we could safely return, it didnt an that the ti flow was the sa.
I dont know what the unique skill that Commander Saran talked about was either.
I keep thinking about things that I dont know over and over again.
Even as I fumble along the way, I might be veering away from the shortest path.
However, even so, I must keep going.
No matter what you people from the previous generation say, I, we, will continue going forward. If we are currently not strong enough, then we will get stronger starting now. Thanks for worrying. However, it is unnecessary.
I dont plan on dying in a place my family is unaware of.
I said this, and let go of the small fist in my hand.
Everyone-! The food is ready!
Hosoyamas voice ca from within the building.
I thought that I didnt see anyone else other than Kyousuke, Nanase, and the hero, but it seems that they were preparing lunch.
It was lunch ti before I realized it.
Now that you ntion it, Im hungry.
Ill say this now since it seems that you misunderstood, but we are only searching for a way to go back to our original world. Going to the demon territory is rely a ans to an end. We might not fight the demons, and we might accomplish our goal without doing so.
If possible, it would be best if that were the case, but it might not be so.
I was reminded of the demon kings right-hand man who was from the sa place as us.
I wanted to do everything I could, but he probably wouldnt cooperate willingly.
Im sorry for being brazen. However, we dont have ti. Kurou nor I.
Understanding what I ant, Noas eyes widened.
I understood from the battles weve had up until now.
Kurou, didnt have much ti left.
