Chapter 79 - Encounter in the forest

After we left the cave, we started walking through the forest, trying to understand more about the place we were in. I asked Glasy to go ahead and search the area. Since she can shrink her size, she would probably be mistaken for a normal wolf if seen.

Although I asked Aurora-sama about this place, she simply said that it was no longer the same as before. Even if I tried to ask her something else, she always told me that saying more than that would be seen as favoritism by the other gods.

I decided to leave that question alone since it seemed to be a complicated subject. At least, as we walked around, we found a small stream where we could get some water. Even if we weren't thirsty, it wouldn't be good to go too long without drinking water, as it could affect our strength.

"After walking for so long, we finally found water" 

Saemi said as she squatted down to drink. We all did the same, and soon we were hydrated again.

"So cold" 

Said Ana as she put her foot in the water. Her cute expression made a soft smile appear on my face. Aria, Saemi, and Fujiwara were also talking with smiles on their faces as they tapped their feet in the water. I thought yesterday's situation might cause some awkwardness between Saemi and Fujiwara, but I'm glad I was wrong.

While this was going on, I felt a presence rapidly approaching where we were standing. But since it was a familiar presence, I didn't panic and simply continued to wait, looking at where it was coming from.

"What is it, Makoto?" 

Ana asked, getting the attention of the others. Before I could say anything, the bushes near us started to rustle, indicating that there was something in them. The girls started to prepare their spells, but they stopped as soon as I raised my hand. Within seconds, a white wolf with black stripes and two tails came out of the bushes and started to approach where we were standing.

"Glasy" 

As soon as they noticed Glasy approaching, the girls put smiles on their faces and ran towards her. Within seconds, Glasy was being hugged and petted by the girls while an expression of comfort was stamped on her face. But that didn't last long, as Glasy quickly let go and came towards me, leaving the girls sad in the process.

"Hey girl, did you find anything?" 

I said as I stroked Glasy's head, but I was met by Glasy tugging at my shirt, trying to lead me somewhere. I found her behavior quite strange but decided to follow her as she seemed quite desperate.

"Alright, you win. Show the way"

As soon as I said that Glasy got loose from my clothes and started running somewhere, without wasting any time I called the girls and soon we started following Glasy, after walking for less than 2 minutes we reached a steep point resembling a small hill, as we climbed to the end a beautiful view stretched out before our eyes, but I noticed that Glasy was looking at a specific place. 

As soon as I looked where Glasy was looking I was momentarily surprised by what my eyes were seeing, a massacre scene was in front of me, bodies lying on the ground with many parts missing and blood spurting everywhere, in between there was a woman wearing maid's clothes and a girl about my age wearing a white dress.

(Other humans came to this place taking people from my school?)

I thought as I looked at the situation, while this was happening, I noticed some men walking up to the women, suddenly the two women were grabbed and their clothes were ripped off, with them going that far it was impossible not to know what they intended to do.

"Makoto"

As I was thinking about this a hand touched mine, as soon as I looked at the person in question, I saw Aoi-sensei looking at me with a determined look, seeing her expression it was obvious what she intended to do.

(Well, she was always that kind of person, after all... she reached out her hand even to someone like me)

I thought as I sighed.

"Let's help them"

I said getting the girl's attention, they all nodded to me and soon stood up but stopped as soon as I extended my hand.

"I will go alone this time, stay hidden here for now, wouldn't it be nice if they knew all of our faces"

I said receiving a nod from all of them.

"Ahahahaha, there's no point in trying, little princess, soon you and your maid will be experiencing the pleasures of a woman"

Said the man who was on top of a young blonde girl, he was panting like an animal, that in itself was a pretty terrifying sight, it was as if a demon was possessing the man.

"N-Nooooo, get off me, don't contaminate me"

Shouted the young woman who was underneath the man her face was wet from the tears falling from her eyes, she was trying every way to get loose but the man was too strong and her physical strength was insufficient to even make the man care about anything.

"Princess, Princess"

Next to the young woman, a woman wearing a maid's outfit was in the same situation, but unfortunately, there was nothing both of them could do, while this was going on a man dressed entirely in black who was standing a little way off in the distance was talking to another man wearing coarse clothes.

"But to think that you would hire us to finish off the princess of your own country, I really can't understand the heads of these nobles"

Said the man who was wearing coarse clothes, but no matter how much he pulled up a subject the man in black never answered him back, he knew little about the man dressed in black, all he knew and that he was a subordinate of someone quite important who had ties to the royal family, but to him it mattered little, in the end he would do anything for money.

"Um... excuse me would you guys be able to give me some information?"

While all this scene was happening a quiet and indifferent voice broke the mood in the place causing everyone present to look in the direction of the voice.
