Konjiki no Moji Tsukai

(This is () huh ?) (Hiiro)

The moment he entered the desert, he could feel warm dry air blowing against his cheek.

Up until now, there was no wind or daylight this strong. Its almost like he had entered acompletely different world.

According to Silva, the demon land is almost covered in this. Its normal for anenvironment to change drastically. Its said that the race is strong because theywithstand these harsh environment.

Hiiro cant see anything ahead, only the horizon. After they walk for a bit, they stopbecause of Liliyn.

Oi, Whats wrong ? (Hiiro)

Kukuku, oi, Shamoe. (Liliyn)

Y-Yes ! (Shamoe)

Liliyn called Shamoe while ignoring Hiiro.

Listen Shamoe, Dont leave my side. Got it ? (Liliyn)

Eh ? Y-Yes ! (Shamoe)

Its unknown why Liliyn said that, but Shamoe trusted her 100%, so she sticks close toher. Silva too, without saying anything, stands close to her.But, not Hiiro. Hiiro didnt understand anything she talked about. So, he asked.

Oi, Whatre you doing ? (Hiiro)

Kukuku, You will understand soon enough. (Liliyn)

She said that and walked again, Silva and Shamoe also walking together with her.

Kui ? (Mikazuki)

Mikazuki said that as if asking if Hiiro wont go with them as well. Hiiro sighed.

Theres no choice but to go. (Hiiro)

Hiiro said that while dragging Mikazuki.

Theres a mountain of sand ahead, their destination is ahead of that. When they pass it,Hiiro stopped and was bewildered by the view.Theres one person there. He never saw anyone like that before. Who ?

Violet hair. Their hairstyle is like a samurais. Its hair should be around 20 cm. Blueuniform. A bandage to cover the nose and mouth. And two sword behind their back.

That guy is folding his arms and glaring this way. Its obviously full of killing intent.

Hiiros party is on guard and slowly starts approaching him. When they got close, thatperson silently talks.

Ill ask you one question. Do you want to leave or become a corpse ? Choose. (???)

What a dangerous question. They cant ignore the pressure of that question. Dependingon our answer, he wont do anything right ?

Who are you ? Youre in the way. Move. (Hiiro)

Hiiro responded just like that. That person glares even more.

Looks like you dont know the rules here. Then, Ill tell you. (???)

His eyes shine suspiciously.

Kukuku, Careful Boy. (Liliyn)

Liliyn is smiling happily, Hiiro wonders whats the matter.

Sfx: ZABAZABA

Suddenly something sprung up from the sand.

(What !?) (Hiiro)

Hiiro hold his hand in front of his eyes to prevent the sand getting in to his eyes. Andthen, he looks again.

Its a person. He can at least see three people here. They all hold weapons and startcoming with killing intent.

One to Liliyn, One to Hiiro, and One to Silva. All of them are wearing blue clothes and aturban-like hood, tied violet hair until their waist, a bandage to cover their mouth andon their back, twin blades like that guy earlier.

( are all like this ?) (Hiiro)

To come without having a conversation, are such a war-hungry race ? As ifLiliyn is not enough.

Hiiro immediately draw his Thorn Piercer to fight.

Sfx : Kakiiiii ! (weapon clashing)

Their blades clashed and sparks are created.

Ku ! (Hiiro)

Theyre stronger than Hiiro thought. Hiiro is pushed back and clenches his teeth. Itseems the enemy also thought that Hiiros power is stronger than they expected. Afterstaring at each other, they dashed towards each other again.

But, the enemy didnt fall from the air, he instead uses steps to maintain altitude and flyover Hiiro.

(Dont tell me, Mikazuki !?) (Hiiro)

The enemy probably decided to kill Mikazuki first.

Oi ! Drolling Bird ! Go away ! (Hiiro)

Saying that, Mikazuki avoided the enemy that was trying to attack her from the back.

She never thought that the enemy would fall down like that. The enemy, stunned atHiiros action, has no other choice but to attack him again.

Kiiiiin !

Once again, their blades clashed. This time, the enemy might have grasped Hiirospower since he didnt get blown away. Now, hes confident that hes stronger than Hiiro.

He has ascertained his victory. Suddenly

Pishun !

Suddenly, Hiiro is gone from his sight. Hes confused at the situation.

On Hiiros arm the word can be seen. He activated his word. Hiiro is also

confident to fight only with his Katana. He knew that his footing and power is worsethan the enemys. Thats why, he used .

Eat this ! (Hiiro)

He appeared behind his opponent, and slashed vertically.

Bushun !

Blood dripped on the sand, but..

(Che ! Too shallow huh..) (Hiiro)

The enemy managed to react in the last moment and avoided fatal injuries.

The enemy who had avoided Hiiros attack lost his bandage that covered him. So, histrue face is revealed. Rather than a man, its more like a boy. Its without a doubt apretty boy. On the boy mouth, a straight scar, and blood is dripping.

(EN: Im gonna assume you meant mouth and not voice)

Wiping the blood, the boy said..

You..are strong, I will get a bit serious. (???)

The boy takes the blade on his back.

Then..

Wait ! (???)

The one who sad that, is that samurai dude. Hiiro and the boy took a glance at him. Heseems grumpy, but they dont know why.

Mu ? Is it over already ? (Liliyn)

It seems so. (Silva)

Hiiro looked at Liliyn and Silva. It seems they already defeated their opponents. Liliyn istrampling her opponents head, and Silva is locking his opponents arm joint.

It seems, youre not average people (???)

If you think so, let us through already. (Liliyn)

Fu, sorry, but that wont happen. Because.. (???)

He drew his twin blades, they were black. Its what people usually call Black Sword. Hethen put on his guard.

Because I will kill you all ! (???)

Hearing that guy, Liliyns laughter echoes..

Kukuku, You will kill me ? What a funny joke. (Liliyn)

Its not a joke, even if youre just a brat, I wont allow anyone in this desert ! (???)

Hou.. (Liliyn)

A dark smile can be seen. Liliyn emits blood thirst to destroy the enemys blood thirst.The enemy stomps his feet and flew.

Che ! (???)

She smacked her lips because she cant see him. The enemy came down to strike, buttheres nobody there.

Here ! (Liliyn)

A shiver runs down on his back. Just when did she get beside him ?

Dogo !

The enemy took a considerable impact from Liliyns kick and shows a distorted face. Hemanaged to adjust his body when he got blown off. When he landed, Liliyns sharp nailis already in front of him.

The samurai guy is startled. He never thought Liliyn possess this much power. Even ifhes going all out, she beat him as if ridiculing him. In that instant, he can see the littlegirls wicked smile.

He thought, hes dead now.

Dosu !

Something interrupted and Liliyn put distance between them. The Samurai Guy isdrenched in sweat, in front of him is a blade (scimitar of some sort, from thebishounen).

Whats he doing ? That boy. (Liliyn)

Liliyn took a glance from the defeated enemy, it was that boy who was fighting withHiiro earlier.
