After hunting Savage all day, they decided to rest at night because it would be dangerous to take a walk when the sun had rested.
“Is it okay to eat this time?” ask Hayato.
“Hayato, have you heard this saying? ‘The worst enemy of a man is his empty stomach’,” Haru said while cooking curry for everyone.
“…”
“Where did you hear such a saying?” ask Hayato.
Haru was surprised that there was no such proverb in this world. He confidently said, “This is mine.”
“………”
Hayato.
Claire nodded and said, “I agree with that.” He looked at Haru and asked, “We have hunted 5 Savages before, how about you?”
“Around 20,” says Haru. He hunted more than that, but he did not want to tell them.
“….”
That answer shocked them, especially Claudia, who had only known him earlier.
“You really hunt a lot, what about your energy?” Claire asked.
“It's okay. I can patrol tonight,” Haru said.
“Good.” Claire nodded.
Claude looked at Haru and whispered to Emile. “Emil-sama, is what he said true?”
“Ya, that's right,” Emile said. He was also surprised, but when he thought about his fight on video, he felt it was possible.
“…..”
Claudia really thought that Haru might be the strongest Killer in Little Garden and Warslan.
Then dinner was ready and they ate with gusto.
Claudia, who ate her food could not help but be amazed.
‘He's good at cooking, he's strong, he's good-looking.’ Claudia sighed and was eager to bring her back to the kingdom to marry him.
In between meals, they again talk about their strategy with the news that there will be rain (rain) at night.
“Once...” Claire looked up at the sky and said, “I doubt a light rain will cause much trouble, but we have to be careful with the beam weapon.”
“We will be divided into two groups and take turns sleeping for four hours. Awakened groups will secure the perimeter and keep watch,” Claire said.
“Understood?”
“Then, I'll be with Hayato!” Said Emile and hugged Hayato's arm.
Claire nodded and said, “There are three people in the group. Hayato and Emile should stick together.”
“Eh! I mind!” Claudia.
“Then, how about the lottery?” Haru asked because the sooner they decided the sooner he would sleep.
They nodded and started with the lottery.
After the draw was over, the two groups were separated by three people on each team.
The first team consisted of Emile, Hayato, and Erica while the second team consisted of Haru, Claire, and Claudia.
Claudia cries as Emile is about to stay with Hayato.
“We sleep first,” says Haru.
“Erica, please be careful,” Claire said.
“Yes, Claire-sama.” Erica nodded.
Claudia wanted to complain but could do nothing. He followed inside then suddenly felt awkward when he saw Haru and Claire were very close to each other. He felt like he was the third wheel. “Umm... I'm not bothering you two, am I?”
“T – No, it's okay..” Claire replied with a blush.
Haru did not reply as she closed her eyes.
Claire looked at Haru in annoyance as she watched him sleep. “At least show me the reaction...” He sighed and moved his sleeping bag closer to Haru as he watched her sleep.
Claudia became more uncomfortable with this, but was also jealous for some reason.
It was time for them to patrol, Haru and Claire stayed a few meters away from the encampment, and Claudia decided to stay at the camp because she was afraid of Hayato and Emile doing something.
“This is a beautiful star,” Claire said as she looked up at the sky.
“You are a more beautiful thought,” said Haru.
Claire blushed and said, “J – Don't tease me!”
Haru looked at the star and somehow thought of Megumi as they often watched the stars together. “How is your sister?”
Claire smiled and said, “She's awake, but she can't stay outside the capsule.”
“Why?” ask Haru.
“He cannot control his own strength,” Claire replied with a sigh.
Haru stroked Claire's hair and said, “At least, she's awake now.”
“…..”
Claire blushed as she felt her caress.
Haru realized what he had done and stopped. “Sorry, it is a habit and very difficult to change.”
“Actuation?”
Haru shook his head and suddenly realized something. “Liar is there.”
Claire's expression turned serious and did not doubt her words. He took his communication tool and said, “Claudia, we'll both go see Savage. You will guard the camp.”
*bzzt!* *bzzt!*
“Transmission error?”
“Do you want to go to camp first?” ask Haru.
Claire shook her head and said, “We can handle this ourselves, let's go.”
Haru nodded.
Running together, they arrive at Savage's location and see Savage used to walk towards the forest.
“I'll handle this,” Claire said.
“Seratus In!”
Six floating cannons appeared on his side and shot out rays at the same time.
*BOOOM!!!*
“OOOOOOOOOO.”
Claire called out her rifle cannon and closed the distance between her and Savage, but she suddenly slipped due to the wet ground.
“Eh?”
“OOOOOO!”
Savage was right in front of her and raised his clamp ready to slam her towards Claire.
Claire was in a hopeless situation, then she heard a voice.
“Prez, you clumsy, yes?”
Haru swung his dagger and cut Savage's brace, then hit Savage's core, killing him. He dodges the juice coming out of Savage and gives Claire his hand. “Come go.”
Claire grabbed his hand and felt very embarrassed.
Walking towards the lake, Claire's suit was filled with dirt and mud.
“I – I can handle that situation alone!” Claire blushed and said, “But thank you for what you have done.”
“No problem.” Haru looked at Claire's suit and said, “Your suit is dirty all.”
“Yes, I can't go back like this. I want to wash it first,” Claire said.
It didn't take long for them before they arrived at the lake.
Haru could feel the warm temperature of the lake and felt a little surprised because he did not expect to meet the hot springs. She looked at Claire and asked, “Do you want to log in together?”
Claire blushed but nodded.
“Fuuh...” Haru heaved a sigh of relief when he entered the lake as he felt very relaxed.
Claire was feeling very hot at the moment, but she was also happy.
They did not face each other but turned their backs to enjoy this hot spring bath.
“It feels good,” says Haru.
“Ya...” Claire sighed then leaned her back on Haru's back. He felt his back was very wide and very comfortable. He thought for a moment and asked, “Kasugano Haruka, may I ask you?”
“Haru.”
“Hmm?”
“Call me Haru,” Haru said.
Claire blushed and said, “T – Then you should also call me, Claire!”
“Well, Claire, what's up?” ask Haru.
Claire was happy and said, “Haru, how can you be so strong?”
“Strength, yes?” Haru wasn't sure what to say and said, “I'm not sure.”
“Avoid sure?”
“I heard from Charlotte that most of the strongest Killers should be Variants, but I'm not a Variant,” Haru said.
“Somehow, I'm a little envious of you,” Claire said with a sigh.
“You shouldn't have done it because you are the leader of the Small Garden,” Haru said.
Claire looked up at the sky and said, “Haru, do you know why I became the leader of the Little Garden?”
“Should have been LIZA, right?” said Haru.
Claire was a little surprised and asked, “How do you know?”
“I can see that Judar does not treat LiZA like his own little sister, but rather something different.” Haru was very relaxed and said, “If LiZA is my younger sister, then I will do the same as you.”
“Do you think I'm selfish enough?” Claire asked.
“Protect what you love, what is so selfish about it? I feel like it's a pretty normal thing and it shows that you love your little sister very much,” Haru said.
Claire somehow felt the knot in her heart had come off. “I'm not sure, but talking to you makes me very happy for some reason.”
“I'm glad you feel that way,” Haru said.
“Do you know how LIZA became like that?” Claire asked.
“I'm not sure,” says Haru.
“LiZA is a Variant and she is a Variant from birth…” Claire starts by telling me about LiZA who is a Variant from birth and it is all because her mother who inserted the virus into her womb created LIZA into the first Variant in this world. He also told her that the reason she slept was because LIZA had used forbidden powers to save her in the past. That was why LIZA could only sleep in the capsule, but she still released a huge amount of energy.
The last thing Claire said her mother did was to LIZA to defeat the Gods.
“God, yes?”
Haru felt that the God from Claire's mouth was something that created this Savage or virus.
“Haru, how about you?”
“How about me?”
“Why did you become a Killer?”
Haru raised his eyebrows and said, “There is no special reason. It's just that my family is gone and it's hard to keep chasing my dreams with the many Savages plaguing the world.”
Claire who heard Haru's reason felt that although her voice was quite clear, there must have been a lot of things that had happened to her. He could not help but turn around and hug her. “Please let me know if you feel sad ....”
Haru did not feel sad but felt very excited because Claire was clinging to her back. She had been gone for a few days and missed Sakura somehow, but Claire had actually calmed her down or rather excited her?
Claire who hugs Haru notices a standing anaconda coming out of the lake surface eyeing her prey.
*sniffle!*
“Do you need—“
*beep!* *beep!* *beep!*
“Emergency phone?”
Claire was startled and hurriedly stood up, but she slipped again.
Haru also stood up and caught him, but it was probably because their God's will fell at the same time. He did not know how they could fall into this situation.
Claire and Haru had kissed each other and her hands were squeezing great
Claire also noticed something hot and hard in her stomach and knew what it was.
“…..”
Haru wanted to stick her tongue in, but she stopped. Cleaving their lips, he said, “I'm sorry.”
Claire was surprised, then confused and blushed. “I – I will ask you to be responsible for this!”
Haru decided to change the subject. “We have to go.”
Claire also nodded, but she wouldn't let him go after he picked up a lot for the first time.
‘Idola? I'll beat him!’
