Memory Piece: Battle With the Evil Beastmen
The moon, which had just begun to wane, sparkled and lit up the night sky, turning the ominous forest to white.
In Vealoth, the threat of the wicked beastmen once more drew near…-.
Heldt: "Damn, they were hiding…!?"
Vim: "A sneak attack in the confusion of the dark…these guys always play dirty."
Heldt and Vim scowled at the evil beastmen before them, who smiled faintly.
Evil Beastman: "The princes came to see us so obediently. We'll deal with you…then raise a glass in a toast at that human village!"
Heldt: "You…! Do you plan to attack the village again!?"
Vim: "Just try hurting the people of Vealoth. You'll pay for it."
Heldt set his rifle, and Vim got into a ready stance.
The two were filled with anger, and for a moment the beastmen looked daunted as they felt the pressure in the air but…
Evil Beastman: "Don't falter! There's only two, let's get 'em!"
The evil beastmen turned their sharp claws on the two princes, and as they were about to attack…-.
Vairy: "Oraa!"
Evil Beastman: "Gyaaa!"
Beul: "You two okay!?"
Vairy and Beul rushed towards Heldt and Vim, mowing down the evil beastmen along the way.
Vim: "Vairy! Beul!"
Heldt: "Why are you two…?"
Vairy: "Vim called us. He said the evil beastmen were acting funny and asked us to lend a hand."
Beul: "We'll talk later! Right now we have to deal with these guys!"
Vim: "Right. Heldt, now's our chance for a counterattack!"
Heldt: "Got it! Vairy, Beul…thanks for the help!"
Heldt reset his hunting rifle, and aimed the barrel straight at the evil beastmen.
Heldt: "I, Heldt, Prince of Vealoth of the Country of Red Hunt and clad in the sacred red…and my courageous friends shall be your opponents! Evil beastmen, if you value your lives, stand down!"
Evil Beastman: "Gg…you think you can get rid of us!?"
Vim: "! Here they come! Brace yourselves!"
In the same moment as Vim called out, the evil beastmen moved together and leaped at the four princes.
Vairy: "Rraa! Don’t underestimate me!"
Heldt: "Nice one Vairy! Just what I'd expect!"
Beul: "You're not bad yourself Heldt! Vim, there're some over there too!"
Vim: "I see 'em!"
As Heldt's bullets pierced through their adversaries, Vim and the others brought down the evil beastmen with claws and fists, one after the other.
Facing down the beastmen who had them outnumbered, the princes cut an impressive figure as they continued to fight…-.
…
……
Vim: "Looks like we were able to drive them all back."
Vairy: "Geez. It'd be nice if they'd learned their lesson and changed their ways but…"
Beul: "At the very least, I'm glad everyone's safe."
Heldt: "Yeah. Everyone…you really saved me there. Once we're back at the castle, I would like to thank you all properly."
Vim and Vairy and Beul: "…"
Heldt: "Wh-what? You suddenly all got quiet…"
Vim: "…you're so stand-offish."
Vairy: "You don't need to go thankin' us like that."
Beul: "That's right! I mean, it's only natural that we'd come to help a friend in trouble, right?"
Heldt: "! You three…- …thanks."
