First Friend! {5}

"Princess, you were here, I've been looking for you."

Just as Moona was about to react amazed against the distance covered by Pekora's teleportation— someone came in the shop.

Judging from how the guards didn't even bother to stop him to enter the pachinko, he was either a regulars here, or just a familiar person who didn't need to get checked.

"Uncle Ben, what brings you here?"

Uncle Ben, although old, one of the formidable soldiers, him surviving in this danger place a long time being one of the proof.

"They have successfully infiltrated..."

That person tried hiding despair in his face but he was easily seen through by Moona—as he brings the report to his princess.

Moona who heard the bad report suddenly darkened her face and her whole mood changed. She had no more time to joke around in this place. She had to assist her soldier even if there's no hope.

Facing the absolute despair not only caused them to lost their morale, it also made them lose their wills to fight. No matter how much troops they sends out, the Zergs side seemed to have unlimited.

No matter how strong the soldier they sends out, the Zerg seemed to be stronger. It was pitiful and hopeless situation.

Moreover, they can't even escape because of Lsarvae a mutation through the failed evolution of Laervae. With their technology, they can build spaceship to get out from this planet but Lsarvae is always keep watching of the sky.

as long as someone attempt to escape through spaceship, it would shoot an devastating laser fast and destructive enough to shoot down an 'moving' space ship.

So the people in Tsukinar had no choice but to stay inside these durable wall.

Now that wall has been broken. The citizens who were waiting their death, already prepared for the upcoming death. Some have even chosen the easy way of dying—killing oneself—so they won't have to die a painful death of getting melted inside Zerg's body.

If one thinks about it, some may have even think suicide was a smart way. but of course some people would still struggle until the end. Yes, like Moona and Uncle Ben.

Amongst these people with somewhat divided yet similar thoughts, there was 1 completely different thought inside.

The outsider: Pekora Francoi- whatever her name is.

'Peko!?!? The wall is broken!? I have to meet that disgusting spider again!?!? NO, PEKO!'

"Uhmm... Moona-sama... Pekora suddenly had an stomachache so..."

Trying to make an excuse both to Moona and herself, she weakly said toward Moona who have kept an serious face while talking with Ben.

Getting called out by the rabbit, she looked toward Pekora with surprised face, then changed it back into smiling and calm.

"It's okay Pekora-san. Good-bye...

at this moment, a portal capable of covering Pekora's whole body was made.

And thank you for being friend with me even if it's a short time."

The portal passed Pekora's body as she disappeared.

"Princess, who was that lady?"

"Nothing just an good friend."

"I see..."

Seeing her somewhat complicated face which contained both sadness and happiness, Ben had an mysterious understanding which was born from his long life experiences.

With the rabbit gone, the 2 of them went outside the pachinko.

"Oji-sa-(old ma-) Occhan(old man) see you!"

Moona smiled toward the guard who have been guarding this pachinko. as it is almost guaranteed that there's no next time, she ended her sentences rather quickly.

"Old man... HAHA! How good it is if I can live that long enough to be called like that... yeah, see you princess."

While also noticing Moona's childish imitation, the guard also bade farewell with Moona. No more honorific way of speaking as it was pointless here, nor did it bother Moona.

"Uncle Ben, let's go."

Virturan: ??? ??? ???

The landscape was rather grassy as the cool breeze moves the blades of grass amidst the humid day. Rather than empty landscape with nothing in it, it seemed more like of an huge city ruin with a single colossal blade stabbed in the blue crystal that's spreaded everywhere around here.

at the center of that place a single figured appeared out of nothing akin to transmigrator whose transmigration just succeeded. From its silhouette, one would think of bunny girl from casino, but once its figure was fully revealed, one would also notices that it's real bunny girl.

The bunny girl seemed somewhat pissed, frustrated, sad. The bunny seemed so miserable that it could triggers the desire of protection inside a person.

...or not.

"Damn it Peko... What could I have done there? I am just a weak and pitiful innocent rabbit who only know how to run. How would you expect me to fight against something that scary..."

Pekora knew that they were not expecting her to fight the Zergs and help them.

But...

"Couldn't you at least complain at me for being so cowardly, peko...?"

That final word was also so unfair. Pekora did nothing but steal her money but Moona still treated her as friend—she even thanked her.

No matter how cowardly Pekora is, she is still a rabbit that does care of her friend, not to mention, her first friend of different species.

Unfair! Annoying! Helpless!

I hate everything! Pekora hate everything!

Due to the increasing rage, she threw tantrum and hit the nearby crystal around her.

"Itai peko.(ouch)"

as soon as she drew her hand unconsciously because of pain, an tremendous portal was made, enough to cover the colossal sword stabbed into the blue crystal.

"What is this peko!?!?"

Not knowing what to do, Pekora started waving her hand trying to erase the portal.

The portal moves and passed the entire sword. The waypoint of where it was sent is... unknown.

Moon

"Queen, infiltrate, done."

"Well done, my species. Insert the Meech and make it devours the barrier from inside. After the whole barrier is devoured, command the whole soldiers surrounding the city to charge inside."

"Command not understand."

"Just go to Tsukinar. I've already ordered the Meech."

"Okay."

"Tch, such a failure..."

The Zerg taking in command, was hidden deep underground, hundred-thousand below the surface. Making it absolutely safe from any danger that may come, with many more Zergs guarding from upper levels. if one want to attack the commander, they have to travel 100,000m below while fighting against the different types of many Zergs midst the way.

Not to mention, some Zergs that can freely travel between the soils underground.

This made the commander, also a queen; Zueen the hardest to kill Zergs in Moon.

Well not until now.

an unknown colossal object suddenly appeared from above the ground and fell down. Below it was exactly the place where Zueen resides.

an unknown object, an colossal blade, was big but the more surprising thing was, despite being big, it's weight has far surpassed the expected weight from its size.

Once it made contact with ground, the whole Moon suddenly had an moonquake as well, the sturdy structures below the ground was useless in front of this colossal sword.

"What is this!? Royal Bee, guard me!"

"Yes, quee-"

Before the royal bee even finish its sentences, the tip of colossal swords has pierced the ceiling and crushed all the Zergs in there, including Zueen.
