-Yui’s POV-

A Cerberus suddenly appeared on the beach and growled.

Three heads, as high as the 3rd floor, stared at us separately.

「Grrrr………」

The soldiers instinctively step back as the Cerberus licks its tongue out while roaring.

Still, they didn’t run away, perhaps because that’s how they were trained.

「H-has anyone of you ever fought against a higher level?」

The instructor’s voice was squeezed out of him but everyone shook their heads.

「Given what’s happening, we can only ask boss for help.」「Yes, boss can…boss should be able to do something about it.」

The soldiers were all saying they should ask for Kazu’s help.

The enemy in front of them is so powerful that even these mighty soldiers don’t want to fight it.

However……

「No, we have to fight it on our own.」

「Eh!?」「That’s……」「Impossible!」

The Cerberus, looking down at the soldiers who are slowly falling back, steps forward with ease.

Flames spewed from the three mouths of the Cerberus.

One of the three flames comes toward us.

It was blocked by five soldiers who had activated their defensive type divine objects.

However, their divine objects were burned out by the blow, and some of them had parts of their bodies set on fire as an aftereffect.

The two other flames that passed by us burned the vegetation on the island, chipped away the hills, and evaporated the sea water on the other side of the island.

The faces of the soldiers turned desperate as they watched the massive amount of steam rise.

「As expected, it’s impossible……」「It’s not something you can beat with training alone……」

It was only one attack but this is the effect.

「The opponent Kazu is facing is far stronger.」

It can even send a Cerberus.

There’s no way that’s an easy opponent.

「That’s……」

Even the instructor let out a voice of despair.

「Thus, we can only fight this Cerberus with just us.」

I thought I said it firmly but my voice might have trembled a little.

Even I am scared.

I want to escape now.

However, if I escape here, I would not be qualified to stand next to Kazu.

This thought stopped me.

「Aren’t you elites from Scandinavia? If you lose, what will happen to your family!?」

It’s funny for me to say this because I’m not getting along with my father.

After talking to them for the past two weeks, I’ve learned something.

They, too, are humans with various circumstances.

Of course, many of them have left their families and loved ones behind in the country.

However, even superficial words can work on them.

For me, there is only one person who comes to my mind when I hear the word “family”.

Kazu.

We don’t have that kind of relationship right now but I’m sure, one day……

For that, I can’t die here.

No, none of us here want to die.

However, I will still drive them to fight.

Because that is the best way to survive.
