Chapter 16 - Fixing

As Hajime and co continued toward the Sea of Trees, the same thing that started bloodthirsty rabbits from last time happened.

En route, as Shia was getting trained (read as beaten up by ero vampire princess as carnivorous rabbit wants piece of delicious looking meat) by Yue, Karm and the others of Haulia tribe was wasting time trying to not step on flowers. As much as Hajime tried to stop himself from repeating the tragedy from last time, as it continued, he was fed up.

It started with a bullet to the flower that a boy from Haulia tribe was trying to avoid.

"Hajime-san, how could you do something so cruel!?" Karm protested as Par, the little boy who avoided stepping on the flower, seemed to be in shock. And this, finally ended his patience.

"WHAT'S CRUEL IS HOW YOU GUYS REACT!! You're not some environmental extremist who will blow up people to reduce carbon emission! At least they act against those who are considered enemies! If you guys can't step on single flower, how the hell do you guys eat?!

"I don't expect you guys to suddenly commit kamikaze to bring even a single enemy down. I don't expect you guys to be able to even have decent chance of winning against group with smaller size than yours. But if you can't run away, at least try to resist by throwing rocks or something! What are you guys trying to be? Saints?!

"At least they got somebody protecting their ass to be doing that! They fully expect to die! But if you are not going to give up your life for some cause or something, get your fuc*ing sh*ts together and fight like you mean it!

"And don't give me that crap that you guys are doing your best. If you're doing your best, you should be expected to at least bite their throats outs!

"Those guys from empire literally came at you with no caution other than you guys running away. It should be really easy with you guys' physical ability. But nope. Not even that.

" So ladies and gentlemen, I will turn you guys in to true ladies and gentlemen that can defend, and stand with dignity and pride.

"Out there, the girl you guys thought were protecting, is getting her ass beat up to gain strength to protect you guys (even though it's kind of questionable if that is the true motive, but still). NOW, you guys ain't gonna be deadweight to her with that personality. You guys are gonna be a literal DEATH SENTENCE.

"So, ladies and gentlemen, please line up your asses over here for repairs, cause I'm gonna be fixing you guys' head."

Then, hell unleashed.

"ARGHHHH!"

"Chief!"

"Run away! He found us!"

"NOOOOO!!!!"

"Peek-a-boo."

""""KYAHH!!!""""

.

.

.

"We're gonna die. We're gonna die."

"Help. Mommy. Daddy."

"Mona, I'm coming."

"You ain't gonna die from being chased by these demon beasts. They're not as fast as your best. They're just gonna kill you when you're near it. So run like hell, and hide like your life depends on it, cause it does."

.

.

.

"Please let us eat. We can't survive with you blowing up all the fruits and edible grass."

"There's animals other than demon beast in this forest, right?"

.

.

.

"Mr. Demon Beast, did you know that animals are good source of nutrition? However, you who are inedible, are just source of nuisance. So, please die right now. We need to sleep!"

"That's the 100th one. Just another 200 to go. Hurry it up. You were awake for more than 2 days. You don't want to stay up entire week, do you?"

.

.

.

"What are you!?"

"A maggot, sir!"

"What are you!?"

"A maggot, sir!!"

"No, you're a scrap iron that was going to be thrown away, but going to turn into a good, sharp knife! So, what are you!?"

"A knife, sir!!"

"No, you're a goddamn trash!!"

.

After about 15 days of training and fixing their heads, and preventing a chunnibyou that was coming up, Haulia tribe was born anew, but with a little different particularity as last timeline.
