The God of War
Follow Zhou
Nouhime was still scouring the forest area, as he saw Zhou enter the forest a moment ago. The road was slightly sloping and filled with trees and shrubs that he kept going through hoping to find Zhou soon, so that it could help Zhou to clean up a little.
But it has been running for a while and far enough, he still has not found the existence of Zhou until now. And it did not lower his spirit and courage to enter even further into the forest.
"Where's Hades? I saw him enter this forest, yet why did I still not find him? Where'd he go, huh? Uhhm .." murmured Noahime stopped right when he saw an intersection and formed 2 different directions.
"Hadess where is it? He should have gone to find the spring, right? If according to my feelling, that means he's going this way." he muttered again starting to take the right side of the road.
It was true that the road finally led him to a river. But again Noahime did not see Zhou's whereabouts here. And this is quite confusing.
But apparently without realizing it by Nouhime before, apparently since then the beautiful woman has been observed from a distance. The aura of the creature was so cold and dark. Eventually, Noahime begins to notice and their views meet.
GRCRM ...
Just across the river, Noahime saw a white tiger watching him. Highlight his eyes were red and extremely sharp looking at Nouhime, as if he was already preparing to pounce on him.
At once Noahime found it difficult to breathe or swallow his saliva, one step he took back despite his heavy footsteps.
CTAK ...
The wooden twig on his shoulder made him even more surprised instead of playing. His body was already shaking violently because of the sharp and passionate gaze of wanting to kill from the white tiger.
GGRT ...
The white tiger now began to jump high and very far above the river, until finally he could reach across the river where Noahime was. While Noahime froze for a moment, he tried to retreat. But apparently he fell.
The white tiger began to walk up to Noahime and began to jump wanting to pounce on Noahime. Nouhime closed his pair of eyes in fear, because he could not stand up and ran back so scared.
GRCRM ...
NEB ...
But just before the white tiger managed to touch Nouhime, a reddish-colored spear shot so fast that it hit the white tiger's stomach and stuck it into a large tree.
The white tiger neighed in pain and his body trembled even more when he saw the spear owner Jumonji yari who started to wander dashing toward him. In a matter of seconds, the white tiger's body began to fuse and disappear like dust with the air.
After picking up his Jumonji yari, Zhou began to approach and sat down before Noahime who was still sitting curled up in fear. Even he was unaware of Zhou's current presence and thought that he would already end up being the white tiger's stealthy meal.
"Nouhime, are you okay?" zhou's words made Noahime look up at Zhou.
"Ha-Hadess ... Is that you? You it? Hiks .. I'm so scared .. hiks ..." Noahime cried and immediately threw his body into Zhou's arms.
"Yes. Its me. Why are you here? All the soldiers are looking for you."
"I just came to catch up with you and wanted to help you clean your blood-stained clothes. But I instead met the white tiger demon." replied Noahime still trembling.
"You should stay with them and wait for me to come back. Nature and the outside world are dangerous. Because the laws of nature will still apply wherever we are, without caste or whatever. Never be far from the guardians. And let's get back!" said Zhou taking off the embrace of Nouhime.
"Okay, sorry ..."
Zhou started to stand up. For a while Noahime was still sitting. Until he finally tried to wake up. But just two steps away, Noahime's body staggered and he almost fell down again. Zhou quickly grabbed him and restrained his body.
"Sit. I'll check it out for a minute ..."
Nouhime obediently sat down on a fallen log not far from them. Zhou sat down before him.
Slowly and carefully Zhou examined Noahime's leg to find out which part was sprained. Until he finally found it. A gentle massage made Noahime palpitate and blush.
"Hold your breath for a moment, and imagine something that makes you happy .." Zhou said looking up at Noahime, while his hands were still holding on to Noahime's feet.
"Eh? Ba-alah .." said Noahime stammered as he suddenly became nervous.
However he started to do as Zhou had ordered before. Zhou began to justify the nerves being shifted on the smooth white leg.
The flowery heart of imagining the togetherness of the two of them in the past made Noahime forget the pain he felt on his legs at this time.
"It's done. Your legs are fine." Zhou said, breaking Noahime's mind.
"Eh? Done already? Did ya? It didn't hurt at all." said Nouhime moving his legs and did feel better.
"It's because you're thinking of something that makes you happy" Zhou replied with a faint smile. "Yes, let's go back soon! The soldiers are waiting for us."
"Hc. Aye!" suhut Nouhime stood up.
But just walking a few steps, he again felt pain and reflexes holding on to Zhou's arm.
"What's wrong? Does it still hurt?"
"When sitting is no longer painful, but when using it to walk suddenly back pain."
"Actually it is a natural thing, because the nerves are still too tense and still recovering. Alright. I'll carry you." Zhou said as he could and started holding in front of Noahime.
"Thank you, Hadess ..."
"Hc. Hold on tight because I'll use a little bit of my strength to get there faster. Anyway we have to get to Fumio's castle soon."
"Ba-good ..." Nouhime immediately poked both of his hands on Zhou's strong neck.
Zhou used a bit of his strength, darting swiftly through this forest and successfully back up following the Nobuhide warriors.
But again they were surprised by the arrival of their warlord who came by holding the front of the petmaisuri Nouhime.
But none of them dared to say anything, as they also saw Noahime's right leg slightly swollen and bruised.

Nouhime's visual bonus when he was in the escort of Nobuhide's soldiers and only wore a simple layer robe, as the previous layer robes were damaged by the bandits who were trying to harass him.
