The man wearing a cloak blindly and longingly gazed at the night sky. It was a sight he missed. (or it's just that his body's feeling numb from that fall.)

"Upsy daisy," He mutters as he stands up, picking up the sword besides him and proceeds to scout the area. "Hm? Fire? That's weird.."

===============

Asuka, Ayumi, Seris, Lunaria and Vesper were in between two dangerous situations, first was the raid in their village, and next was the hundred soldiers in their destination.

"Hmm.. I could probably beat all those humans." Vesper mutters, slowly turning his arms into paws.

"But what about the village?" Lunaria asked, holding on to one of Vesper's paw.

"Like I care. The Elder said he could handle it, didn't he? I'm not the one who wanted to leave." He replies.

"But still... Everybody's in danger, are you gonna let that petty grudge judge the fate of everyone there?" Ayumu followed.

"Hmph. They can handle themselves," Vesper retorted, tugging Lunaria's hand away as he dashes off

"Geez, he's such an idiot," Asuka comments, pulling her tongue out as she teases Vesper, "Bleeeeh!"

"Anyways.. We should go home, they might need us over there..." Seris adds, everybody nodding in agreement as they proceed to run back home. "Let's just hope that we can still make it in time..."

===============

The village was surrounded by fire, huts were burning, flowers withering. Screams of the child monsters covered the whole vicinity while others were moaning and wailing in pain as Humans were slaughtering them.

In the middle was the elder's hut, in which wasn't covered in flames. The fire could only surround it, it couldn't get closer. Inside the hut was the Elder, along with a few child monsters behind him as he kept up a barrier.

The adults were fighting against humans with Nanabi leading them, though as much as they didn't want to admit it, they were gradually losing.

"This is bad, everybody, fall back! Make protecting the children your priority!" Nanabi commanded, slicing up humans one at a time with her katana.

"Evacuate to the hut! With the elder's protection, none of them can enter. For those who can still fight, follow my lead!" She continued, still holding her ground as she fought against the humans.

Sooner or later, Nanabi and her group were surrounded by the Humans. "Hey, hey, hey, look at that, a seven tailed kitsune. Kukuku." The humans laughed as they've got them cornered.

"Ha, that'll fetch us a high price," Another added, smirking.

"Yeah, so let's slaughter them!" Another replied, all the humans charging in at once. "Chaaaaaaaaarge!"

In a sudden moment, as if in a quick flash, blood splattered everywhere, almost all humans fell into the ground as Nanabi and her allies stood dumbfounded. Backup arrived as Asuka, Seris, Ayumu, and Lunaria stood in front of them with their weapons unsheathed.

"Looks like we're right on time." Seris commented, wielding a steel sword stained with blood.

"Seris?" Nanabi mutters, looking relieved as she saw them. "At least your okay..."

"Tch, what kind of era is this where we have to rely on the young?!" One ogre shouted, running off as he battered humans with his nail bat one, two, three to release some steam.
