The rattlesnake blushed.
If you're wondering how a pitch-black rattlesnake could blush, as a fellow snake, I could tell.
'Why are you blushing and making such a fuss!'
When I said that in confusion.
Char-r-r-r...
It just shook its rattle like that.
Feeling sowhat awkward, I tried to let go of the grasped tail.
But for so reason, it wouldn't let go.
I had no choice but to shake off the rattlesnake and release its tail.
'Hmm...'
This is a difficult situation.
The bear trying to catch the rabbit is fine.
Whether they try to strike from behind cowardly or not, it's not my business.
But the problem is that Madam Gorilla got involved in this.
I ordered her to bring the subordinates and et here.
But Madam Gorilla only sent the subordinates through the rattlesnake and walked into danger herself.
Probably to warn the rabbit she had grown fond of.
Strictly speaking, it's disobeying orders.
In the military, that's worth ti in the brig!
So am I angry at Madam Rila...
'Indeed, it's Rila.'
Not at all.
Rather, I thought she had a good eye for people, no, monsters.
'ans she knows what righteousness is.'
Having read many martial arts novels in my previous life, I roughly know what righteousness is.
Risking life and limb to protect what you believe is right is surely one form of righteousness.
"Ssak, sssssak."
The rattlesnake cried worriedly.
Indeed, Madam Gorilla must have had high virtue among the monsters too. They were all worried about her.
'Let's trust and wait.'
But that's all we can do.
Madam Rila, co back early without getting hurt.
==
Madam Rila walked quietly.
Indeed, the bear wasn't foolish.
When an old monster that has awakened to intelligence spends a long ti, they beco as cunning as humans.
The bear was like that too.
Madam Rila had tried to slip away and inform the rabbit of the current situation first.
That would have been the most efficient thod.
But the bear wouldn't let that happen.
"Co with us, gorilla."
Either join in attacking the rabbit, or be eaten first.
Those were the only two choices given.
Having made up her mind, Madam Rila rather proposed first.
"I'll distract him first, then you ambush..."
The bear listened carefully.
"He won't be suspicious of ..."
"Indeed, reliable."
The monsters were delighted.
They really thought there was nothing strange about the gorilla betraying the rabbit.
Madam Rila worked her brain hard.
The snake had given her the position of advisor.
An advisor's role is to devise strategies.
Though she wasn't confident, she too made a strategy.
The ti given wasn't plenty.
Not long after, they found the rabbit taking a rest.
The rabbit looked thoroughly exhausted.
His fur was soaked in blood, and his usually fluffy body was covered in dirt and dust.
"...Rila?"
He made a happy expression seeing Rila, then beca wary seeing the bear and monsters behind her.
Rila quietly extended her hand to signal the bear and monsters.
Then approached the rabbit.
"Rila. Why did you suddenly co?"
The rabbit showed no signs of being suspicious of Rila.
He just stared blankly without even getting up from his spot.
"Rein..."
Rila spoke softly.
So the bear and monsters behind couldn't hear.
"Can you trust ?"
Madam Gorilla's eyes were clear.
The rabbit must have known that too.
He nodded with a serious expression.
"Even if you kill ."
This romantic rabbit.
Madam Gorilla suddenly felt like scolding the rabbit.
She gritted her teeth and grabbed the rabbit firmly.
Literally, the iron prosthetic arm tightly bound the rabbit's body.
"Got him-!"
And the monsters waiting behind rushed in.
The ashen bear ca at the forefront.
A nad monster was indeed a nad monster.
The bear's charge was no different from a tank's assault.
Now that Madam Rila had grabbed the rabbit, if that massive paw struck, the rabbit's head would be crushed.
But the rabbit didn't try to resist or escape at all.
That trust was touching for Madam Rila.
Trust should be repaid.
Click.
One of the prosthetic arm's function locks was released.
The tal glove that had been limiting output fell to the ground, and the arm's spring was drawn.
Keeek, keekeek.
To the bear and other monsters, it must have looked like Madam Rila was struggling to restrain the rabbit.
The bear, unhesitatingly trying to crush the rabbit's skull.
At that mont.
Madam Rila released the rabbit.
In a continuous motion, she spun and swung her prosthetic arm.
A liver blow aid at the lower right of the bear's chest where the liver is located.
Pueok!
But it wasn't just a short hit-and-run strike.
Using that powerful strength as a base, Madam Rila lifted the bear that weighed more than herself as if pushing upward.
The bear's feet montarily left the ground.
Eyes eting with the enraged bear.
The combat function stage 1 of the armant superweapon that Duiman had talked about was released.
The spring drawn to its limit.
The spring with trendous tension that would need a whole carriage to barely bend it snapped back.
Teoeoeong!
That huge bear flew.
It was flung far away as if hit by a giant's fist.
The other monsters were shocked.
Madam Rila didn't miss that crucial opening.
She grabbed the rabbit's hand and ran.
The small-bodied rabbit fluttered like a paper doll as he was dragged along.
The spring wasn't installed in just one hand.
She places her other hand on a boulder embedded in the ground and does a one-handed handstand.
While holding the rabbit with her left hand that had just launched the bear.
She activates the spring in her right hand.
Teong!
This ti it was Madam Gorilla who flew up.
She leaped over the rough terrain with the rabbit.
Landing with a roll on the ground, she continued running without losing montum.
"Th-that's amazing."
The rabbit marveled too.
Madam Rila ran feeling her heart pounding.
"I didn't know I'd succeed like this either..."
It seems the practice with Duiman on using the prosthetic arm paid off.
Though she flung the bear away, she probably didn't rupture his internal organs.
