TEASER CHAPTER 5 PART 16
When
Nozomu started fighting Anri, Jin and his friends were running through the
forest to join Mars and the others.
They
were trying to join Mars as soon as possible, but Deck who was running behind
suddenly stopped.
"Haa,
haa ... Deck, what's wrong?"
"...
Jin. I'll go back."
"……Huh?"
"Think
about it. We don't need the three of us to tell Mars about the fight with Anri,
the others should go to help Nozomu, who is earning us time right now."
"That
is……"
Jin
thought about Deck's words. Certainly, if they only needed to contact Mars,
they wouldn't need the three of them to leave at once.
"But
Deck. Isn't your arm injured? Even if you go to help him, that arm..."
Jin
turned his gaze on Deck's arm, whose uniform was torn, and Deck raised his arm
as if nothing had happened.
"The
wound is closed, so I can use the spear now. And there are other ways to fight
even if it's not close-quarter combat. Also... can you burden him any more than
this?"
What
Deck said was the same as what Jin felt in his heart.
They
propose to combine their party with special training in their minds. However,
Jin also felt that they are only very dependent on Nozomu and Mars.
Strategy,
planning, base building, trap installation, and operation command. Everything
has been proposed and implemented by Nozomu.
Of
course, Jin and his friends were not powerless and useless. The cooperation of
Jin and his friends was indispensable in the fight with the 4th class party
earlier.
Certainly,
Nozomu was the one in charge of their joint party. However, in their hearts,
the question of whether it would be okay to leave everything to Nozomu
continued to rise.
"...
Jin, I'll also go back"
"Hamria
..."
Following
Deck, Hamria also declared that she would go back.
Probably
because she was still scared of the fight with Anri, she gripped her wand
tightly. However, even so, her eyes were only firmly stared at Jin.
"...Thanks
to Nozomu, we were able to defeat the opponent we couldn't win until now. I
think it will be difficult for ourselves to win in the future. So, his strength
is absolutely necessary."
"And
we don't know how long Nozomu will last against Anri-sensei. Then there should
be someone who can help him even a little bit. I know Nozomu won't complain.
Also, until we join Mars, you will be the one in command. He said that,
right?"
"...
That's true. Deck, Hamria. Now, you two go back and support Nozomu-kun. I'll
let Mars know about this."
Jin
nodded at Deck's words. Smiles appeared on Deck and Hamria's faces.
"Alright,
I'll leave it to you. Please come before we are wiped out. "
"Jin-kun,
please."
The
three nodded and confirmed each other's intentions, and each of them rushed out
for what they should do.
