Chapter 61 – 5. Haruna, the Mother of Two Daughters, a Predator Who Preys on a Predator

She was bombarded with knowledge by Minerva and parted at the entrance of the jungle, escorted by her.

“I’ll be waiting for you here tomorrow morning, so don’t be late.”

“Thank you so much for today.”

– Nod

As I bowed down to greet her, Minerva glanced at me, placed her hand on her chin, and spoke cautiously.

“He really is a stage shooter. You’re pretty self-righteous, too, to fight without asking the doctor.”

“Are you going to blame Haruna?” I confidently said to Minerva in a reprimanding tone.

“As a result of yesterday’s fight, it will happen unconditionally. This is guaranteed by our daughters.”

“…Huh, you’ll understand that when you see it, right? Rather, that would be more fun. Then I’m sorry~”

With a slack tone, Minerva slowly floated up in the sky. In a blink of an eye, she lost sight of the place where Minerva had been. The darkened sky and the setting sun made her temperature chilly.

“Hello-“

As I headed towards the village, a beastman I had seen a few times greeted me cheerfully. I nodded and entered the village.

“You! Are you Cassano?”

A woman with a tight, voluminous body in solid black leather approached me. The woman with a shrill voice said to me as if snarling.

“I can tell right away, the chief asked me to come to the gym when he sees you. Did I say?”

The picky woman said just what she had to say and she ran away. I ran to the place where the party was standing and left behind the chattering women and moved to the gymnasium.

– Perok!

As I headed towards the gymnasium, recalling the memories of walking with Eruka, a beastly woman swept the ground with her back and flew towards me with a strong impact. Swallowing her saliva and spitting at her red, swollen abdomen and pain, she ignored me and ran again.

“Hmm.”

Haruna, who approached her right boxer with her claws upright, kicked and blocked her before she saw me approaching, untied her hands behind her back and shouted loudly.

“Stop!”

-Stand up

As soon as the woman who was preparing to pounce heard her signal to stop, she looked at Haruna Che who maintained her straight posture. Seeing her standing like a soldier with her discipline firmly in place, her Haruna beckoned her lightly and signaled her to leave.

“Thank you!”

The woman bowed 90 degrees and stepped back and went to stand behind Haruna, who was looking at me with an expressionless expression. The other beastmen who had already lined up behind Haruna spread their distance and maintained their ranks.

“I’ve been looking for it since daytime, but it’s not there. Where have you been?”

“I’ve been away for a while because I have business to do.”

“Hmm. You must have seen Minerva.”

Haruna, who closed her eyes and nodded her head, slowly approached me. She must have smelled her, judging by the slight flaring of her nose. She was going to hide it because she wouldn’t do anything good if she became known, but she was caught at once.

“How was it when we met?”

“He was kind. I met him because I needed advice.”

“Hmm, then can I borrow some time from now?”

At Haruna’s polite request, I reluctantly nodded her head. Even if he went back anyway, he would just hang around with Tsuruka and Eruka, and he had a lot to talk about even briefly with Haruna, so refusal was virtually impossible.

“Of course.”

“Yeah, since you said you’d help with training, I thought it would be nice to compete with the people I brought.”

At the words of the competitor, the eyes of the beastmen standing in line behind Haruna flashed. Sensing the burning hostility, sympathy, and jealous gaze, I nodded once more and accepted Haruna’s proposal.

“As long as I can learn from someone like Haruna, I can always find time.”

“Whoa, you’re humble enough for someone who rushed to kill you yesterday.”

Haruna, who threw her mischievous joke, gave a slight smile and glanced at her subordinates who had kept her rank behind her. The one who stepped forward at Haruna’s wink was a boy with fairly small wolf ears.

“I have a lot to learn, so let’s seek help from you, it won’t be that easy.”

The boy, who was cheered up by her Haruna’s praise, shrugged her shoulders and approached me. Even as she looked up at me, her combative eyes were burning brightly.

“Then, if I beat this boy, I have something I want to ask you, can I hear your answer?”

“Hey, do you want to make a bet?”

Haruna smiled and showed her fangs, and I was taken aback by her clear smile for the first time. Her lively smile, which resembled Eruka’s, quickly disappeared, covered with expressionless expression, but I kept thinking of Haruna’s smile.

“Okay, I’ll answer anything if you win, but if this kid wins…”

Hmm – Haruna fell into her troubles with her arms crossed while her drool flowed away. Haruna, who seemed to have decided on her troubles for a moment, loosened her tightly gripped arms and placed her hands on her hips. Haruna said with a weak mischievous smile. .

“I have to do what I tell you to do for a day. However, I will answer up to five of any questions you ask.”

“That’s good enough. Can I do it right now?”

The boy turned around at my question and nodded vigorously at Haruna. At the signal that she was ready, Haruna looked at me again and replied with a nod of her head.

“Let’s see what I’ve learned from Minerva.”

Haruna turned her shoulders and watched me loosen her body. After looking at her for a while, she turned her body around and fell outside. The beastmen who had been standing behind Haruna and guarding the ranks followed her and left in an instant.

“I’m counting on you.”

Leaving her eyes watching us from outside the gymnasium, she lightly greeted the boy in front of her. The boy, who was stretching and warming up, spoke crookedly at my greeting.
“Heh, prepare to become Haruna-sama’s slave.”

The kids in this world seemed basically rude. Thinking of the kid whose name I couldn’t remember, I approached the naughty wolf.

The height difference was almost a head and a half, but I didn’t ignore it. From what I remember hearing when talking with Tsuruka, it was said that the growth of the beast race was slow, so it was clear that he was an adult with a boyish outward appearance.

“Are you ready?”

Haruna, who was watching us from outside her premises, pressed her ferocious breasts with her arms and loudly asked for her doctor. I lightly nodded her head.

“Yes! Ready!”

The bastard, who answered her loudly, glared at me with her eyes burning with her fighting spirit. I looked down at her baby, waiting for Haruna’s soon-to-fall signal to start.

“Start!”

With a thunderous start signal, the boy charged. Along with the leap with full power, the fist aiming for the chin pierced like a shot. I quickly reached out my hand and swung my fist, and despite the shaky balance, the boy stretched out his leg and delivered a kick aimed at my chin.

-Widely!

Immediately after blocking the kick with his free right hand, he circulated through the air and fired the same kick at the landing person. The one who lost his balance due to the long flight time was beaten and hit the floor while flying through the air.

“Quit!”

He rushed in without any psychological warfare, and although he was embarrassed by the ignorant fighting method, he watched with his guard raised without being vigilant. He straightened his posture and jumped back at me, baring his fangs.

“Whoa…!”

The percussion-rusher jumped high with his claws straight. I glanced at Haruna, but it seemed to be within acceptable range. Seeing his flashing fingernails slash at his head, I eventually backed away as if leaping back and opened my distance again.

“Running away like a rat…!”

“Crazy.”

Isn’t it sickening to fight proudly with bare hands? Tak-tak- The guy jumped in place and refined his posture, kicked off the ground again and started preparing to jump.

“Wow…?!”

This time, I rushed first because I was foolishly taking up time. When he kicked the ground and ran into the ground, he seemed to cross his arms to block it, but due to the difference in weight class, he was pushed back and his arms began to tremble.

Before I could get caught, I pulled out his leg and hit him on the head for his awkward posture. The sound of hitting the watermelon echoed and his head swung around.

“Aww!!!”

Watching the guy grind his teeth and put his head back, this time he slapped his cheek. His head snapped back just before his palm, which had been swollen with all his might, touched his cheek. Sensing that his upper body turned and his guard was empty because of his strength, he raised his nails and scratched my chest.

-Chack!

The moment I felt my nails getting caught in my clothes, I pulled my upper body back. The clothes caught on my nails stretched, and the moment I bit them, because of the nails, his small body ran straight to my movements.

Seizing the opportunity, I kicked it with my slender legs right before I pulled out my nails. Jjiik- My body turned around because of the strong kick, and the clothes caught on my nails were torn, but I ignored it and ran to the fallen guy.

– Pleasant! Wow! Wow!

“Kwaaaaak…!”

As he tried to get up, he pressed his arm with his knee and slapped his cheek. There was a chilling sound of bones grinding against his skull, but since it wasn’t my head, I ignored it and continued waving my hand.

-Chack! Chew!

He raised his fingernails and scratched my calf while being slapped on my swollen cheek. Ignoring the feel of his fingernails digging, I slapped him on the cheek, let out a painful scream, bit my fingers with his fangs, and immediately clenched my fists to his confession and lowered his cheekbones.

– Bahak! Baek! Baek!

Gradually, the strength of the nails scratching her legs weakened. I was worried about the wound that was coming on, but I didn’t care because I thought I could walk, and I kept punching him while punching him in the head.

“Huh, uhhh…!”

A painful moan flowed, and the nails scraping his leg finally stopped. I raised my fist to slam his red, swollen nose and drooling head down once more. Tup- When I glanced back at the grip that gripped my fist tightly, I saw Haruna looking down at me with a hardened expression.

“Don’t stop here.”

“Did I win?”

“It seems like you’ve lost your fighting spirit, so that’s why.”

Hee-hee- Hee-hee- Hee-hee- I watched the guy dripping all sorts of secretions with an airy sound, and got up slowly because I was dirty. I could feel the pain in my throbbing calf, but it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t walk.

“When I was my age, I was busy playing with my friends, but they fight well.”

“Probably the same age as you. Beasts grow slowly, so they look like boys, but they are already adults.”

Haruna shed tears and held the dismembered man’s hand and helped him up. Hudeulhudeul- The guy who was shaking his legs like a newborn small animal slowly moved to his place while being held by the hand of the beastman who was summoned by Haruna’s beckoning.

Haruna, who was staring at me with a troubled expression while pressing her arms against her unfathomable breasts, quietly opened her mouth.

“As expected, you have enough qualities as a warrior.”

I ignored the throbbing legs and stood across from Haruna, lightly accepting the compliment.

“Compared to Haruna-sama, it’s nothing.”

“I can’t help it because the years I’ve lived are different, now is it my turn to receive the price of victory?”

After watching her treat the swollen face, Haruna quietly took me to her corner. Haruna stepped into a quiet place with no one around, looked at me with her strange eyes and urged her to ask her question.

“Who is the next Chieftain?”

First, I asked the question I was most curious about. According to the prophecy, it was either I submit to the next chieftain or he submits to me. It’s not that I blindly believe in the prophecy, but to break the will of the villagers and Haruna who believed in the prophecy, it was best to follow the prophecy.

“If I say that we have already met, will it be invalid?”

“Haha, you know.”

Haruna threw a spiteful joke at her and said as she peeked at her and lifted her head.

“The child we fought earlier is the next chieftain. After hearing your compliments and comments, he became angry for a long time.”

A kid who couldn’t even control his emotions was the next chief. She stared at Haruna, stunned by the completely unexpected answer. Haruna shrugged her shoulders as if she wasn’t really lying and added an explanation.

“If we fought calmly, it would have been more difficult. Although she is an immature child who can’t even handle mana yet, her instincts are innate.”

As I’ve already been attached to him once, I’ve already figured out his power. Even if he calmly measured the situation and fought, if I gathered mana, it was enough to knock him down.

“The second question. How strong do I have to be to fight Haruna-sama on an equal footing?”

“Ho-oh… Are you with me? Hmm…”

Haruna swallowed her drool and was immersed in her thoughts, and Haruna, who walked around shaking her voluptuous breasts, stopped her steps as if she had finished organizing her thoughts and looked at me with her clear eyes.

“If you are trained by me for about 15 days and show enough mana management to be able to use sword skills, at least you won’t be pushed back.”

“Don’t get pushed – are you?”

“You use a sword, and I mainly do fighting. But you’re not good at swordsmanship, and you’re not good at fighting either.”

Haruna looked at me while gently stroking my sleepy neck. With her slightly reddened face, Haruna took a step back from me and explained again.

“If we had a fair duel, both would fight with a grapple. It’s not easy for me to predict as your fighting skills are unpredictable. That would be the condition for the most equal fight.”

Fighting without using any weapons is the most likely way to beat Haruna-I nodded her head and asked Haruna the third question as she waited for the next question.

“Haruna-sama said that the divided villages would unite and take the lead in a war that would break out on the continent.”

“Um, obviously it was.”

“If the villages are merged, who will be the chieftain?”

Haruna, who seems to have understood the meaning of her third question, opened her mouth slowly with an incomprehensible smile.

“Hmm… Can I ask what you think first?”

“I want to build Tsuruka or Eruka.”

“Huh… Isn’t it you? Aren’t you the chief now?”

I nodded and explained the trade in the village. He explained the long-term relationship with the merchant company in Hormia and the benefits that the village could see, and took care of Haruna.

“Huh… Did you go that far?”

“It was possible because a kite came about by chance. And now that we have traded with the human guild, if hardliners stand up and try to cut off relations with humans, everything will be ruined.”

“Right. Surely that would be difficult.”

“Then…”

“But the chieftain’s opinion is absolute. Rather, if you want to prevent such a situation, you should be the chieftain.”

“Can I become what I want to be?”

Haruna smiled and untied her arms as she approached me. Haruna placed her hand on her chin-my shoulder, she said with a faint smile.

“We must fight a sacred duel. Cassano, the patriarch of the moderates.”

It was as expected. I calmed down her rising smile and looked down at Haruna and asked again.

“Is the opponent Haruna-sama?”

“I would have said I was a priest, but that’s why your opponent should be that kid you saw earlier…”

In an instant, Haruna’s gaze changed to that of a beast. Chinna asked Haruna, who smiled while exposing her fangs, facing her sharp pupils and the creepy eyes that looked at her prey.

“But?”

“That wouldn’t be so much fun. It is one way for me to act as the chief’s representative.”

“Then isn’t that too cowardly? I’m not even Haruna-sama’s opponent.”

“Or how about a separate bet? After 15 days, depending on the outcome of the duel, we follow the winner’s request.”

“Are you betting?”

Haruna nodded her head and replied with a bright smile.”

“After 15 days, the winner of the duel becomes the chieftain and governs the unified village. In addition, the loser grants the winner’s wish.”

“It seems Haruna-sama wants a lot from me.”

“Whoa… Don’t you want something from me too?”

-Munkle

Haruna, who presses her large breasts with her arms and exposes her cleavage, the gap between her blushing face and confident expression is quite unique.

“If I win, you will have to remain as the chief of the village. You will go out with me at the forefront of the war.”

“What if I win?”

“This town belongs to you. I will take a step back, but I will always help at the moment of war and at your request.”

“After all, I have to remain in the village whether I win or lose.”

“No, it’s okay for you to become the chief and leave Tsuruka the acting chief. Just stopping by the village once in a while is enough.”

We predicted each other’s moment of victory and defeat. Predicting an unknown future, we discussed all the situations and talked again.

“What is your wish?”

“I will tell you when I win.”

“Huh, good. Then, do you agree to have a duel in front of everyone in the village in the next 15 days?”

“I agree.”

“I’ll tell you after I’ve sorted out the conditions for the duel. Ah, training will proceed as planned, so come here every afternoon from now on.”

“All right. I’m tired today, so I’d like to go back after this…”

“Let’s do that, are the rest of the questions intended to be asked later?”

The conversation seemed to be over, so Haruna turned around and realized that the question wasn’t over yet, so she asked me back. I was contemplating whether or not to ask something I had been curious about until Haruna’s lips bitten into her eyes and I finally asked.

“Did you go back to your room and masturbate yesterday?”

“…”

“…”

We were just silent. As if time had stopped, we stood face to face in an empty lot where we couldn’t hear a single sound of the wind, and we just spent time looking into each other’s eyes. Haruna’s eyes blinked slowly, and her thick pink lips slowly opened.

“Did not do it.”

Haruna, denied by her calm voice, slowly turned her body around. Her face, ripe as red as her apples, and her ears could tell the heat from behind. Paddle paddle—Haruna, who trembled her clenched fists, spoke to me again with her turned body.

“Let’s go first. The last question will be asked later.”

– Trudge

Haruna walked away from her seat at an accelerating pace, and the more I thought about the duel after 15 days, the more I couldn’t figure out how to make a decision with Haruna. Moved to
