Heroes In Other Worlds
GIANT SNAKE ATTACK

Seeing Furuko and Vitaloka wrapped around a giant python, Sagachi immediately took the sword he had placed beside him and then shot away like an arrow released from his bow towards the snake.

By the time the snake opened its mouth wide and was about to prey on the two girls, in a matter of seconds, the head of the giant python had been cut off by Sagachi's sword. The eighteen-year-old managed to slash the snake's head with his swift vertical slash.

From where it was cut, the snake's neck spurted red blood. While the winding that held Furuko and Vitaloka had loosened, so that the winding was no longer tight because the snake was dead.

But the two girls fainted, because the twisting of the python was so tight, that it made them difficult to breathe.

"Why all of a sudden in this cave is a snake this big?" sagachi asked while freeing the two girls from the twists of the now-dead python.

Kenta Ken who was still casually sitting on a large rock said, "Because this is the nest of the snake. He came back to this nest while you were sleeping. That's why I woke up earlier than you because I heard the snake's hiss."

Carrying the body of his sister who was still unconscious, Sagachi said, "Then why don't you help them? Why don't you wake me up as soon as they're about to be eaten by the snake?"

"I was testing your instincts. But it turns out, while sleeping, you can not feel the danger that will befall your friends," Kenta Ken reasoned.

Naturally, if his instinct is not so strong will be the danger that befalls him and his friends, because not long ago Sagachi became a fighter in this world. Because indeed he had also not long lived in a world filled with the art of fighting.

Actually, a fighter must have a strong instinct. Although in a state of sleep, a fighter who has a strong instinct can usually immediately beard from his sleep when there is an impending danger.

If a beginner fighter like Sagachi, he has not learned to train his instincts. Therefore, when a snake entered this cave he was not aware.

"Alright, I will try to strengthen my instincts" said Sagachi who while putting his sister's body on the large stone that was sitting

While Kenta Ken brought Vitaloka who was still unconscious. The black-robed man placed Vitaloka's body on a boulder beside Furuko.

"Now what should I do?" ask Sagachi who is beside Furuko. He felt anxious to see the condition of his sister who had not yet woke up from her stupor.

"Let's calm, they just fainted. They will wake up soon" Kena said. He said so with the aim of relieving Sagachi's anxiety towards his sister. "The snake's twists seemed to make it hard for them to breathe, so they're now fainting."

While Sagachi was still staring pityfully at the two girls who were still closing their eyes with a pale face. In his heart he murmured, "It must have been a long time that they were wrapped around the snake, thus making their situation this way."

...***...

Somewhere else.

Now Kamimoto Hazuki is running at high speed. The seventeen-year-old boy had just crossed the bridge and was now in the Fruit Forest. Of course, his goal was to come here because he wanted to catch up with Sagachi who was here earlier than him.

Since Hazuki wasn't wearing a horse, her stamina was running out. This seventeen-year-old boy had felt very tired and also thirsty.

"Huuufh .. tired of running all night without mounts." Hazuki spoke with her breathless breath.

It was already from the night he ran from the Alcazar Palace of Seville to this Fruit Forest.

"But, is it possible that Sagachi san has already arrived here? Or is he even further away from this?" he said as he walked towards the apple tree not far from its current foundation.

In addition, the apple tree also performs photosynthesis that produces oxygen, resulting in a cool effect for Hazuki who is now taking shelter under it.

"It's a very noisy forest!" Hazuki said that, because this forest has a lot of birds, especially fruit-eating birds.

"Where are you Sagachi? Where have you been?" ask who you know while looking at the red apples on it. The apple looks fresh, making seventeen-year-old boys who now feel thirsty and hungry want to take the fruit. He smiled and then said, "It looks like the apple is fresh. And it seems, that apple can cure my thirst."

Somewhere else.

Seen, Vitaloka was beginning to roar from his stupor. Sagachi who saw that started to smile. However, he became sad again after turning to Furuko who was still unconscious.

"Aaakh .. My whole body hurts. It felt like my whole body was going to crumble" said Vitaloka who had just regained consciousness from his sleep. The girl tried to get up from her lying down.

Kenta Ken who was beside her, instantly helped the purple misty girl sit down. "Don't be forced if you're still sick!"

"Thank you," Vitaloka said in a weak voice. The girl actually felt happy to be treated with such attention by Kenta Ken. In her heart, the girl said, "Although as usual she is very good, she is also good."

"Sagachi" Kenta Ken said as he stared at Sagachi.

Sagachi looked back at Kenta Ken. The eighteen-year-old responded to Kenta Ken's words by saying, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"You wait here first, take care of them! I'm going to look for medicinal plants to ease their pain" Kenta Ken said.

"I'm sure .. I will take care of them" Sagachi said in response to Kenta Ken's remarks. Of course Sagachi will take care of these two injured girls, especially his own Furuko—adikan.

"alright. Then, I went out first to look for medicines to cure them. Take it easy, they will heal as usual," said Kenta Ken. Then the black-robed man walked out of the cave.

"Be careful, Ken-san," said Vitaloka, whose voice was still faint, but Kenta Ken still heard his voice.

"You don't have to worry about me, Vita-san," Kenta Ken replied without looking back at Vitaloka. The black-robed man still stepped out of the cave.

"Sagachi-san, Furuko-chan hasn't woken up yet, has she?" ask Vitaloka while looking at Furuko with pity.

"Yet, but Ken-san said he would wake up, too" Sagachi replied.

Somewhere else.

Now Kenta Ken is walking in the Fruit Forest area under the scorching sun that has begun to feel rather hot.

While he was walking in the apple tree area of this forest, the black-robed man was surprised by someone who was sheltering under a tree while eating apples.

"Who is he?"
