Chapter 28: Runaway Group
“───What is it? Do you know what it is?”
“It’s dark and far away, so I can’t really see.”
While saying this, Lang lifted his hips from the horse to get a closer look. He asks Fleet to halt the formation, and then he too pulled his horse up next to Lang’s to get a better look.
“It’s coming this way!”
“Everyone! Get ready for battle!”
A sense of urgency runs through the ranks, and all eyes look ahead.
By the time everyone there sensed something was wrong, they could hear the ground rumbling in the area along with the approaching dust.
“A swarm of demonic beasts. ─────”
As he pulled out the thing at his waist, the earth rumbled and ──── screams rang out
───── nooooooo!
───── oh, for heaven sakes!
───── forgive meeeee!
───── a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
With the dust that rises, the voice becomes clearer and clearer.
“huh ─────? A woman’s voice?”
“ a person?”
“───── Are those people?”
A group of runaways approaching rapidly.
Even though they weren’t even on horseback, they were coming towards us at an impossible speed, scattering sand. ───── What is that?
“Oh… hey… Are you okay?”
Lang waves his hands to signal their presence, but the approaching speed did not seem to slow down.
On the contrary, the runaways noticing our presence, screamed even louder.
“oh no────n! Move, move out of the way! ─────”
“noooooooo────”
“Run over, run over, run over ─────!”
“People, please forgive meee ─────.”
They rush toward us keeping the same speed, yelling out noisy words.
“Lang! Something’s wrong!”
“eh, ─────, wait a minute!”
bang ─────
With the sound of an explosion, a large amount of dirt and dust were scattered, and silence fell over the area.
Shaking off the dirt that had piled up on my head, I checked the surroundings. Nothing has changed behind me.
When I looked ahead, I saw a brand new mound of dirt that hadn’t been there before.
“So, did it stop?…”
“Well, it looks like it. ‥‥‥‥”
Fleet suddenly noticed something while cleaning the dust off his glasses.
My own horse, what? What’s wrong? He just nods his head.
“Why are the horses so calm despite all this commotion?”
“I guess you could say that.”
What’s wrong with the horses in the middle of all this commotion? They are just the same as usual.
When I looked at my horse, it responded with a snort. ────What, are you getting bored?*
I went around to the back side of the dirt pile and there they were, several women, lying in the hole they had made.
“‥‥‥‥ Oh, I’m stuck.”
“Mmm-hmm. ‥‥‥‥.”
“I don’t want to do it again. ‥‥‥‥”
“I’ll never run again‥‥‥‥”
Each of them muttered something, but it seemed certain that they were the women who had been the subject of the investigation. The site is suddenly set in motion and we start to move quickly to prepare blankets and water.
“Are you all right?”
Fleet is watering a boy with a little girl on his back.*
I guessed that those girls were probably the ones who had been reported missing by the village, and then I realized something.
“Where’s Lang?”
His horse was not carrying its master, huh? what? he said, tilting his head.
He looks around, but does not see the person he is looking for.
Everyone’s silent gazes are focused on the pile of ───── dirt that has just been created.
“Ho, dig him out,─────!”
