《Chatura Side》
ㅤ
Chatura, one of the Holy Zodiacs under Kyrie’s command.
He has led the forest people to assist the saint in her dire situation.
ㅤ
“Mr. Chatura, please take command of everyone. I will be treating the injured and isolating them.”
“Understood. What shall we do with the zombies?”
“Neutralize them, please. Do not kill them.”
ㅤ
. . . . . .Zombies die if you crush their heads.
But it seems Kyrie does not approve of that.
ㅤ
Chatura has not even the slightest interest in humans.
The only one he trusts is Kyrie, who carries on the will of the first Holy Demon King Ellison.
If she says not to kill, he will obey.
ㅤ
“Understood. Then, I will lead the people to neutralize the zombies. Kyrie-sama will take care of the injured and isolate them through barriers. Syndulla, please accompany Kyrie-sama.”
ㅤ
Nodding in agreement.
The Griffon, Syndulla takes Kyrie on its back and flies off.
ㅤ
The left-behind Chatura speaks to the rampaging Anila in the distance.
ㅤ
“You heard that, Anila. . . . . .!”
『I know! No killing, right!』
ㅤ
Tyrant Dragon Anila.
She is a monster of the highest order, like Holy Demon King Ellison.
ㅤ
But she was a troublemaker who would use her great power violently.
Even Ellison found her hard to handle.
ㅤ
. . . . . .So what?
ㅤ
『I ain’t nothing but a follower of Kyrie’s request! I’ll obey it!』
ㅤ
The Tyrant Dragon Anila grappling with a massive undead dragon.
Taming that dragon. . . . . .
ㅤ
Not with violence, but to keep people alive, to wield power in that way.
ㅤ
“Indeed, Kyrie-sama is. . . . . .an amazing person.”
ㅤ
Kyrie・Inori.
Everything has improved since she came.
ㅤ
The forest’s problems, the issues between monsters and people, everything.
Chatura thinks Kyrie must surely be a pillar of God descended from heaven.
ㅤ
Anila kicks the undead dragon’s belly.
ㅤ
『What’s wrong, dragon? Is that all you got? Huh?』
ㅤ
Clearly, she was tormenting the weaker one.
. . . . . .Well, she’s not killing it, so let’s allow it.
ㅤ
“Everyone, let’s start the action!”
『『『Oooh!』』』
ㅤ
Kumakichi, along with the other monsters, faces the zombies surrounding the building.
ㅤ
『Take this. . . . . .! Bear punch!』
ㅤ
Kumakichi strikes a punch with all his might.
With a loud thud, the swarm of zombies is blown away.
ㅤ
『You did it, Kumakichi! My son opened the way! Come on, everyone!』
ㅤ
Thud, thud! Kumakichi’s mother, Kumako, goes outside with the forest monsters.
In the zombie-filled capital city, the monsters are fighting back.
ㅤ
『I got bitten by a zombie, Mom!』
『Don’t worry, Kumakichi! Look at your body!』
『! Kyrie-oneechan’s protection!』
ㅤ
Yes. . . . . .the monsters’ bodies were somehow endowed with a holy barrier.
ㅤ
『Kyrie gave us her power before taking off to protect us!』
『Thanks, Big Sister! I’m going for it!』
ㅤ
The monsters are united under Kyrie. It’s a sight just like when Ellison was around.
ㅤ
“I sense the human presence inside that broken building!”
ㅤ
As Chatura commands, the monsters rush in.
ㅤ
『Whoosh! Take this wind!』
『Take this slime water too!』
ㅤ
The Griffon and a slime child push the zombies away.
Then Kumakichi lifts up the broken wall.
ㅤ
“Yikes. . . . . .!””A monster. . . . . .!””It’s over!”
ㅤ
It’s the humans. Apparently, they were trying to hide and get through it.
ㅤ
They’re completely terrified of Kumakichi and the others who helped them. . . . . .
It was at the moment when Chatura tried to leave.
ㅤ
『Everyone! Please listen!』
ㅤ
Kyrie’s voice resonates in the mind.
ㅤ
“This is. . . . . .the voice of the mind that Kyrie-sama used when we first met!”
ㅤ
Kyrie had the power to deliver telepathy.
It had stopped being used since the wounded soul recovered, though. . . . . .
ㅤ
『The monsters are allies! They are helping me!』
ㅤ
“It’s Kyrie-sama’s voice!” “What, that gentle saint-sama!” “Kyrie-sama has come to save us!”
ㅤ
The faces of the capital’s citizens brighten all at once.
They must all know about Kyrie.
『Don’t be afraid! The monsters are our allies!』
ㅤ
With just those words, the voice in the mind vanished.
Kumakichi saved the people of the capital. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Thank you, Kuma-chan!”
ㅤ
Everyone thanks Kumakichi and the other monsters.
. . . . . .They all seem to be uniformly surprised.
ㅤ
Monsters are originally beings despised by humans.
Even without Kyrie, the humans thank them.
ㅤ
“This is also. . . . . .the virtuous work of Kyrie-sama. . . . . .”
ㅤ
If it weren’t for Kyrie, monsters would have been treated as enemies of humanity both now and in the past.
Because Kyrie was there, they were able to unite.
ㅤ
“Indeed. . . . . .she is a goddess. She descended to this devastated earth. . . . . .”
『Chatura, get out of the way!』
ㅤ
Thud! Along with the sound, the undead dragon falls.
A fragment hit Chatura on the head.
ㅤ
“Lizard. . . . . .! What are you doing!”
『It’s your fault for standing there dumbfounded』
ㅤ
Anila seems to be dealing with the undead dragon as per Kyrie’s orders.
There’s damage to the enemy’s body, but it doesn’t seem to be dead.
ㅤ
『There are more humans in trouble like this. Why are you standing in one place and lazing around, you’re the commander, aren’t you?』
ㅤ
. . . . . .That’s right.
Scolded by Anila, he recognizes his position again.
ㅤ
“I understand. Everyone. . . . . .scatter and suppress the zombies. Check inside the collapsed buildings for people, and rescue them if possible!”
『『『Yes!』』』
ㅤ
Everyone is striving for Kyrie’s sake.
If it weren’t for her, they wouldn’t have shown such unity.
ㅤ
Chatura, deeply grateful that she had become the master of the forest, strives to protect the humans he dislikes.
