Chapter 94

''Oi, Touya! Stop throwing the rocks all around the place. You might attract some unwelcome guest if you keep doing that.'' I advised.

Touya doesn't seem to take my advise seriously and continue throwing the small rocks that he picks from the ground towards the bushes. I just let out a heavy sigh as I silently followed that little brat.

*Rustle!*

All of a sudden something just moved in the wild bush as soon as Touya throws a small rock into the bush.

''Oni-san, d-do you saw that?'' Touya shuttered in fear.

''Shh!! Let me check it out first.'' I hushed him. Then I take a few steps towards the bushes cautiously.

Taking a deep breath, I open the bush and saw it was only a grey rabbit that was munching the wild berry. It looked at me before that rabbit hopped away.

''Phew! It was nothing, Touya. Just a wild rabbit eating—'' I turn my back at him.

Touya's face turns pale as he pointed in front of me. He seems speechless while his tiny fingers are trembling in fear.

''What happens—!''

''Oh, shit!'' I cursed when I saw a wild boar is breathing heavily in front of me.

Clutching my fist, I quickly grabbed Touya and leapt across the forest back to the training point, hoping that I can find some help over there. I hugged my brother tightly in my arm while shouting for help.

''HELP!! HELP US!!'' I shouted.

''Help us!! There's a crazy wild boar chasing us!!''

As the trees began to clear, I saw Miyu was running towards us with a bow in her hand. Those hazel eyes of her's were aiming at the bore that was chasing us from the back.

''Duck down your head, Touma!!'' She shouted as she pulled the arrow from her back.

Without any hesitation, I trusted her and ducked down my head. I covered Touya's head with my other hand while shutting my eyes tightly. The sound of an arrow splitting the air next to my ear makes my heart beats wild. I lost my balance after I tripped on the nearby tree's root when I try to get away from there.

*Boom!*

Behind me, I heard a heavy falling sound following the wild boar grunting noise before it gradually fades away. I was surprised as I turn my back to see that the wild animal was lying dead on the ground with the arrow hits right on its head.

''Touma, Touma-san! Are you alright? Do you hurt yourself?!'' Miyu put down her bow and kneels in front of me while asked me with her shivering voice.

''I was fine...Thank you, Miyu. Would you mind to hold my brother for me? I think I had sprinted my ankle.'' I gently hand Touya to her. Touya's eyes were teary as he hugged Miyu.

''My sincere apologies, my youngest master, for not be able to protect you earlier on. There, there. Stop crying, my master.'' Miyu patted him in her embrace.

''T-Thank you, Miyu-san, f-for saving my brother.'' Touya thanked her as he cries.

***

'Where did she learn to do that move?' I silently think to myself after seeing my angel gracefully killed that wild bore by just using an arrow. Thinking back, she was just started to train a few moments ago and now she is able to kill a moving object? Just what is she, I began to wonder.

''Touma-san, here let me carry you on my back.'' I offered him since I notice that he can no longer walk on his own without having to grits his teeth in pain.

''Thanks a lot, Yuuto-san.I will bother you with carrying me no your back then.'' Touma slowly climbed on my back.

''We will be head to Uncle Matsui's house first. You guys also should be heading back now because there's no guarantee that the wild boar's pack won't be coming back.'' I tell them as I carefully carried Touma on my back.

''Okay! We will catch up after we keep the equipment back into the hut and bury this wild bore.'' Hikaru said.

''Then I will be leaving first. By the way, please help us carry back the bags together after you guys had done the cleaning.'' I then walked down the hill with Touma on my back.

***

''Thanks, Yuuto-san. Do you mind if you help me to get my bag for me, please? I want to make a quick check-up if anyone was calling through my phone.'' Touma asked me after I have helped him with his injury. It was not that bad since he was still able to walk around by himself but he still needs some time to recover for a bit.

''Here.'' I handed him his bag.

Touma takes out his phone that was safely kept in his bag. He then switches on his phone and almost instantly there's a ton of notifications of missed call and messages pop out on his screen.

''Gosh...why the hell this old man is giving me this much of missed call and text messages? It was so rare for him doing like this...'' Touma murmured to himself as he started to dial his father's number.

''Hello, father. Why—"

All of a sudden, Touma pulled his phone far away from his ear after he said a few words. He pinched his nose bridge before he places his phone next to his ear after lowering the sound.

''Very well understood, father. We will be back by this evening...See you later, father.'' Touma hangs up his call. Soon, he flips his body down to the tatami mat in the living room while letting out a grunting.

''What a pain in the ass...'' He grunted.

''Touma-san, what happened? Is there something wrong between you and your father?'' I asked him.

''Everything is fine between us. He asked me and my brother to go back immediately to attendant his business partner daughter's funeral a.k.a it was my classmate, Sakura-san.''

''I see...'' I looked outside at the peaceful scenery until I heard a familiar voice gasping for air.

''Funeral? Sakura-san? The one from your class? Oh, no...I-It was my fault...I am such trash.'' Miyu clutches her mouth in disbelief as she began to murmur to herself.

''Miyu...san?'' Touma seems a bit surprised after seeing that Miyu was acting that way.

''Miyu-chan...why are you standing there and blaming yourself?'' I quickly try to get her but she pushes my hand away. Her eyes are wet in tear as her hand are trembling.

''Hey...Yuuto-kun...'' She said with a shivering voice.

''Was it because of me they died? Was it because of my salty tongue they are dying one by one?'' Miyu's covered her face.

''No...It was not your fault at all...'' I gently pulled her into my arm.

''Then, tell me...what they did to deserve to died that way?''

''Because they—"

Then I immediately paused as soon as I realise that I almost spill out the truth.

''Because they what, Yuuto-kun?'' She glanced at me with her teary eyes but her gentle voice send chill running down my spine.

''Because the God want them to...'' I answered.

''I see...*whisper* Then let's all of us head back now. We can't let her waiting for us, right?'' Miyu whispered next to my ears.

'Just what are you having in your mind, Miyu-chan...'
