"eh wait wait, Mr Hikaru?" Hikaru asked the blue-haired woman
"Yes you have saved our village you have become a hero to us" said the beautiful woman with a smile to Hikaru
"Huh? No no no, shiori who saved you guys is not me" Hikaru said as he prevented the woman's words
"We all the villagers saw the fight you two are dead to fight cerberus" the woman sat on the bed that Hikaru was sleeping on
- Too close!!. Hikaru's mind while his face was flushed red
"My name is Asuka, thank you for saving me and the other villagers, Mr. Hikaru" the woman thanked him while saying her name
"N-don't thank me. Oh yeah how do you know my name?" Hikaru asked while nervous because Asuka was too close to him
"I know from your cat-eared friend, he was looking for you" Asuka replied
"Shiori's? Where is he now? He's lookingfor me? Argh... Adududududu" Hikaru asked as he tried to get up but his body was heavily injured
"You better not move much first. Your friend is in the other room, now you are in the village clinic" Asuka said as she laid Hikaru back to bed
"You work here asuka?"
"Yes I'm a doctor here, yes more precisely I am a support when becoming an adventurer. But I stopped and opened a clinic in my village to help others"
"Your goal is very noble Asuka" Hikaru was amazed and smiled at Asuka
"Thank you"
"Like, can help me stand up and get out. I want to see the situation outside" Hikaru asked Asuka for help to help him walk out
"Oh yes of course. I will help you" Asuka stood up and tried to help Hikaru get up
Asuka held onto Hikaru's body and she supported Hikaru's body with her body so that Hikaru could walk. As Hikaru walked out of the clinic, he saw a village that was already half destroyed and a lot of blood like a massacre and many citizens were crying because their loved ones left them
"What'sthis? Can't be this many victims?" Hikaru was shocked and creeped out in fear ssmbil asked Asuka
"Diving may be because it's dark so you don't see that many corsas" Asuka replied as she slowly let out her tears
"You're crying Asuka?" Hikaru said softly while looking at the crying Asuka as he watched the other survivors bury the villagers who were the victims
"My father, he just died last night from the Cerberus attack and is now buried" Asuka said as she continued to cry and held Hikaru
"I'm sorry I don't know"
- Even in this state he can still smile and take care of me. Inner Hikaru who is amazed by Asuka's nature
"My father gave me a final message when he was already dying from Cerberus' attack. He told me"
like, you have to be a good person and save everyone. And you have to live with good people forever. You must live happily Asuka said her father who was already severely injured and dying
Then Hikaru came and immediately shouted to direct the citizens to a safe place, and there Hikaru saw Asuka who looked desperate in front of his father
- What are you doing here? Hurry up we have to go!. Said Hikaru while holding Asuka
but my father, my father Asuka said as he continued to cry and shed tears
your father wouldn't be happy if you were like this, he sacrificed so you could live but you just wanted to die?. Snapped Hikaru to Asuka
Hikaru immediately pulled Asuka's arm back then and carried her away
"Oh so you're that girl. Sorry because it was dark last night I don't remember your face very much" Hikaru said with a smile and his head held
"Yes, it's okay hehehe" Asuka said while laughing at Hikaru's behavior
you are a strong person Asuka, I will continue to help you inner Hikaru
"Argh..... Adudu" Hikaru fell for being too excited while talking to Asuka
"You're okay? I told you not to walk unless I helped you" said Asuka, who was upset and held Hikaru back
"Ah nak Hikaru" a father comes from the crowd of people who are burying the victims
"Thank you for everything, thank you for fighting death against Cerberus, thank you for saving us. If you don't exist maybe we're all gone and our village just lives on land" the old man said thanking Hikaru
"Ah that's okay sir, I also can't possibly let the monster go berserk and kill innocent people" Hikaru said with a smile to the father
"Hikaru you sit here first yes, I have to go to my father's grave first" Asuka said as she helped Hikaru to sit on the bench in front of the clinic
"Yes, thank you Asuka"
"Same, you continue the conversation" Asuka ran to her father's funeral
"Sir, I'm sorry to ask. Why is the cerberus dog here and suddenly destroys this village?" Hikaru asked the old man who had thanked him
"Well I'll tell you"
So at first our village was safe, peaceful life like a village in general. But one day the hunters disappeared and did not return home as they went into the forest. We all tried to find but did not meet.
And a few days after that the people in the village began to disappear as we searched it turned out that it was all the demon dog monsters that came to attack our village. We can't do anything because the people in our village aren't many who can fight.
Then the dogs did not show up and we were happy and then came back to live peacefully, but when we did routine care at night arrived the dogs came and attacked, Cerberus, though before he never came even we never saw or heard the rumors. We were all slaughtered, and then when we all resigned you came to Hikaru's son and saved us. Thank you for everything, the old man explained very long
"Oh so, thank you sir for telling me" said Hikaru who thanked after understanding all the words the father said
"Alright, I'll continue to help bury the victims. Take good care of yourself, son Hikaru" the father went and helped bury the victims again
- Why did Cerberus come while shiori and I were in this village? Is this just a coincidence.] Inner Hikaru
