Satania And Kaede, In Danger?

Hey, Shun here!

Have you ever been surprised at something that you were practically rooted on the spot at first, trying to process what just happened?

It definitely happened to me a few times and it was still quite funny to remember those times to this day.

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

(Third Person's POV)

Since Shun and the others were out to gather more materials, Kaede and Satania was left to guard the camp and look after the young animals who were still sleeping. At the moment, these young animals are resting on their own sleeping quarters that was made by Lyly and was designed by the girls themselves.

The only young animals that's awake right now is the red panda of Shun who's furiously doing some shadow boxing near the shed, the white snake who was adamant about following Shun everywhere, the azure snake who's currently sticking with Kaede, and the little black fox who's pretending to be asleep as Satania pampers it. The rest of the young animals are asleep, surrounding the kuudere white pony named Hakkou.

"This event has been sooo fun isn't it, Satania-san? We got to explore a whole lot."

"Uh-huh, it is. Because of this event, I got to level up my Senses faster."

Knowing what Satania is planning on doing, or atleast talked about what she would do if she gets strong enough, Kaede just laughed it off.

"Hehehe, that's good. I got to level up my Senses a lot too. It's a shame we didn't get to have exclusive weapons though…"

"Hmpf, I don't need that to become amazing!"

As the two continues to talk to each other, their relaxed and laid back personalities seemingly permeated all throughout the surroundings as a cozy atmosphere enveloped the place. Even the irate azure snake and the cautious black fox became relaxed when enveloped by this atmosphere.

However, this atmosphere was destroyed when the usually slow Satania picked up a change in the red panda's demeanor. It was furiously practicing not too long ago but it was now looking at seven different locations with vigilance.

Quietly, Satania equipped her combat equipments and Senses before looking at Kaede who's still oblivious about the situation. Even the azure snake who's flying beside her became tense.

"Kaede, equip your combat equipments. There's someone stalking us."

"Huh? Umm, sure." Without asking any questions, Kaede equipped her armor and greatshield before changing her Senses to a more combat focused one.

"So, where are the enemies Satania-san?" Kaede asked while looking around aimlessly.

"Just ask your snake. Frederick, go wake up your buddies. You too Panchamp."

At Satania's instructions, Frederick, the young black fox, and Panchamp, the young red panda, immediately got inside the sleeping quarters of the young animals to wake everyone up. They were frantically making cute noises, trying to wake up their friends who are still fast asleep. The baby panda Panchan was especially hard to wake up.

"Did you find out what they are?"

"I could only see a warrior and two mages. The others are too far away. If Mutsuko-san, [Admin] Shun, or Rikka-san was here, they could probably see them."

"Hee… Well, you never know? They might just be here to take a look at the young ones or something~?" Kaede said while stretching her body slightly.

"I don't know. But I think they're not here just to take a look. I'm a devil you know? I could tell they're up to no good! I just know it!"

Seemingly convinced by Satania's words, Kaede hit the palms of her hand with her fist while showing an "Oh!" expression.

"Ohhh! I get it. Then we should probably contact [Admin] Shun-san and the others!"

With that said, the two went ahead and began contacting everyone that's supposedly a member of their guild. It was then that the people hiding from the thickets of the trees began their attacks.

Fireballs rained down from the sky, accompanied by some bullets of waters. A few players who are equipped like a warrior ran out of the thickets and began sprinting towards where Kaede, Satania, and the young animals are.

"Quick! They're already coming! Hurry, hurry!" Kaede said while pointing the young animals to run towards the opposite direction of where the attackers are coming from.

Meanwhile, Satania is stalling those guys, even managing to almost fireball a guy to death.

Every young animals were thankfully fast enough and was able to avoid getting attacked by the fastest guy amongst the attackers who managed to reach the camp first. Well, almost everyone of them.

Panchan, one of Shun's young animal companions, was still sleepy and was being dragged around by a frustrated Panchamp. The guy saw these two who are struggling to run because of the slow Panchan and brandished his sword to attack them.

However, whether it was because of luck or some other stuff at work, the guy tripped on a stone that was just lying on the ground, leaving him out balanced, with one of his feet dangling mid air. It was then that Panchamp took this chance to 'attack' as it held the still drowsy Panchan by both of its arms and swung him at the out balanced dude, presumably intending to hit the guy in its stomach.

However, it was unknown whether it was just a coincidence, but Panchan's body coincidentally hit the man's crotch area. It was such a direct hit and you could even say that Panchamp's 'counter attack' was done beautifully. Panchamp was able to fully wake up Panchan and was also able to buy them enough time to run away.

While it was definitely good news to Panchamp, the guy who got hit in the crotch by a 100 lbs mammal that was done via a swinging motion is not having the best day of his life. He is currently out cold, lying on the ground while frothing at his mouth.

His legs are bent in a weird direction while his hands are clutching at his family jewels which seems to have cracked badly. It's probably no good already even as a simple sunny side up.

"Run everyone! Ow! What was that?" Kaede was still instructing the young animals what to do while occasionally getting hit by some bullets made out of water and fireballs.

Well, she didn't really receive any noticeable damage so she never really paid attention to it as much. Getting the young animals to a safer location is her primary goal.

"Did you contact the others yet!?" Kaede yelled while looking at Satania who seems to be having too much fun 'stalling' the attackers.

"A-hahaha! Run! Ru— Oh, ah, yeah, I did!"

And so, the two of them waited with bated breaths for their back up to arrive. Well, that's while Satania is having fun raining down fireballs at any warrior guy who is foolish enough to run towards her again head first.

(Shun's POV)

"Um, Shun-chan, it looks like you made lots of friends while Onee-chan is away. That's good."

"Is that your younger brother, Sei? Ain't he quite the looker? It also seems like he's got a 'good relationship' with the girls here."

"Sei-oneechan! You're here!" Miu shouted before sprinting towards Shizuka-nee and hugging her.

"Hello Miu. We meet again in game. Also, what are you saying Mikadzuchi! Shun-chan is my little brother. He's still too young for that."

While I looked at where the voices are coming from, I saw two figures with their colors totally contrasting each other. One has red wine eyes and hair while the other has cool blue colored eyes and hair.

"Shizu— Ah, Sei-nee? What are you doing here? And also this is?" I asked while looking at the wine red haired girl who's dressed up like a guy. Shizuka-nee called her Mikadzuchi.

"Ah, she's…"

"I'm Mikadzuchi. The Guild Leader of [Eight Million Gods]."

[Eight Million Gods]? That sounds like a very fancy name of a guild.

Speaking of guild names, I am yet to come up with a name for our guild. I like pandas and we're strong so I think One Punch Pandas would be good? But then, a lot of the members of our guild likes Tsuka and Tsuka is a bunny so maybe a guild name with bunny or rabbit included in the name would be better.

That aside, there's a more pressing matter than thinking up of a guild name for our guild.

"I'm Shun, the leader of our soon to be created guild and the brother of Sei-nee other there. It's nice to meet you Mikadzuchi-san." I said while showing a slight smile.

"It's nice to meet you as well. Anyway, where are you guys in such a hurry to leave? This is such a great place to farm EXP ya know?" Mikadzuchi said. She then removed what seems to be a cigarette on her mouth before exhaling the smoke.

"Yeah. You seem to be worried about something Shun-chan. Do you want onee-chan to help you?"

"Sure, you guys could come with us if you want Sei-nee." I don't think we'd need help but I could definitely use their help if the situation is that dire.

That said, after a brief conversation and some short introductions, we immediately left the mountainous area of the north. We basically sprinted without rest to make sure that we could make it in time to hopefully save Satania-san and Kaede-san.

We met with some monsters along the way but we ignored them altogether as we sprinted past them. Finally, after an hour or so of traveling, we finally reached our base camp.

I was so shocked at the destruction that happened just a few ways away from our camp so I was definitely worried that something might have happened to the two who we left behind. However, as we move past that large area of destruction, the damages in the environment became smaller and smaller, until we reached our base camp which, aside from some evident attacks that destroyed some walls slightly, is still intact.

Then, when I looked at the large table that was set in front of our log houses, I saw Satania-san and the young animals happily chowing on some food. A few seconds later, Kaede-san arrived while carrying a few more servings of food.

"Here are your food everyone! Ah, Taffy, eat carefully! You might choke at this rate!"

Then, as Kaede-san lifted her head, our eye's met.

"Oh, you arrived [Admin] Shun-san, Rokuko-san, Magi-san, Fenny, Tsuka, and Miu-san. You just arrived in time! We made some snacks! Come eat! Oh, we have two visitors? Come eat with us too! The more, the merrier!"

What the heck? I thought there was a huge emergency here or something? Where's the emergency at?
