Fake Princess
DXCIV Chapter
I crawled up and walked out of the hut, following Haruki and Izumi who had come out first with the others. My steps have not continued, when two men apparently intercepted our path. The two men turned around using words I did not understand, before they both walked back to us.
We continued walking, and continued to walk through the crowd of people who ran away every time their eyes fell on us. Our footsteps all stopped in the middle of the crowd, with the young man who became the chieftain and some old man, perhaps the tribal elder sitting on his right and left.
“We, would like to thank you for your help,” Haruki said with a bow.
I bowed my body, too, when others had done the same. My body rose again, as the voice of the man who was giving out foreign words sounded. He raised his hand, just then we looked at each other before finally following Haruki who had been sitting in the middle of the circle of citizens.
“What are they talking about?”
I glanced at Izumi who was muttering softly by lowering her head, “entahlah. I also do not understand what they say,” answered me who also muttered softly beside him.
“Sa-chan,” said Haruki who made me re-raise my head, “we are counting on you,” he continued which made me more confused.
My forehead shriveled, before my eyes finally fell on the chief who had stopped his words. I stood up, as the chief's eyes did not blink at me. My two feet stepped past Haruki before finally stopping in front of the chief and the elders, “we, got lost here. We, do not know where to step,” I said while trying to explain it by using a direct body gesture.
“When we walk, our friend is arrested by those who wear head ties,” connect me while rubbing my own forehead.
I stopped what I was doing, followed by both of my eyes glancing around as the whispers from around touched my ears. I took a breath before finally sitting on my knees grabbing and grasping her hands, “you, the chief here, aren't you?” I closed my eyes as I raised the hand I held onto my forehead.
“Please, help us to save them. Please,” connect me by looking back at him with my eyes slightly blurred by tears.
I quickly got back to my feet, when his palm almost touched my head. “There is something I want to give you, as a thank you for helping me several times,”, I said as I walked closer to our pile of weapons that were just placed on the ground.
I bowed by grabbing one arrow and my bow. The citizens around me walked backwards, some even pointed their axes at me. I did not crush them, all I did was raise my head up followed by my bow and arrow which I pointed to the sky.
Where are you bird? Where are you?
I moved my head towards the sky, then smiled with my bow as it fell into the shadow of a bird that was about to fly past us. I held my breath with my eyes still aiming for the bird, I was still waiting. Before-to
My arrow flew rapidly upward as I let go of the pull of my hand on my bow. I ran away from the crowd, and continued to run after the figure of the bird that had fallen from the sky by my arrow that stuck in his body. My steps stopped near the tree, I lifted my bow up, trying to drop the carcass of the bird that was stuck on one of the branches with my two toes.
I quickly moved my hand, caught the carcass of the bird that fell from the branch of the tree and turned around by stepping closer to the crowd again. Both of my feet kept on stepping before finally stopping in front of the young man who became the chief, “for you, as a thank you,”, I only smiled as he looked back at me without doing anything.
“Nii-chan, what's wrong with her? Did I make a mistake?” I muttered with a turn towards Haruki.
“Why, you're not trying to introduce yourself, Sa-chan!”

I walked beside Haruki, following the horde of tribesmen down the forest. All of us, plan to follow them all hunting. “Hayle,” called me, until the chief named Hayle turned to me.
“Can that gun of yours drop the coconuts up there?” I tukasku, while pointing towards some coconuts that are above us.
“Sa-chan.”
“I'd love to see it, nii-chan. I, want to know the power of that weapon. Anyway, somehow I want to drink coconut water,” I said to answer Haruki's words.
“Atau Izu-nii, arouse the coconut for me!”
“You can shoot it yourself, why not do it.”
I clicked my tongue by continuing, “I want someone to take, not take it myself. Taken by taking it differently,”, I continued while continuing.
“I don't know, the poison I've received lately is still harming my body or not. How can I have a brother who is not at all concerned with the health of his own sister. In fact, I did all this for them too,” my connection followed by a sigh that came out, “when only coconut. Just coconuts, but they were reluctant once to take it.”
“Stop grumbling! I'll get you as much as you want-”
I turned around as Izumi stopped following a sound like a falling object. I followed their gaze all the way to Hayle, who had gone back and walked towards me with a coconut in her hand. “Thank you, Hayle. You really helped me,”, I said, wiping the surface of the coconut she gave me.
“Nii-chan!” call me, I turned to look at Izumi with a smile while pointing the green coconut to her.
Izumi walked up and grabbed the coconut fruit before crouching down by removing an axe that he got from one of the villagers. “Did something happen to you? Why, you've been acting annoying lately,” said Izumi, with her hands still moving to peel the coconut I gave her.
“Because it irritated my brother, gave me spirit in the forest. Hurry nii-chan, they're waiting for us!”
“Which do you think this is all? It's all because of your behavior that hinders the pedal-”
I closed Izumi's mouth using my palm, followed by my two eyes glancing to the right. “Is this because I asked Kou to strengthen his magic? Something approached,” I whispered slowly with back up.
“Kou, get the Manticores here! I, want to invite them to hunt together,” my connection muttered by throwing eyes around.
