"Well then, I think I’ll give you so"

Haji in their temporary base near the Great Tree when he suddenly said that Even though it was called a base, it was only a barrier made of Faea Drain crystals that… Haji on stumps, those rabbit-ears floated dazed expressions

"Th-that… Haji in other words…"

Shia asked him on behalf of her perplexed clan

"Just like the words said Anye can’t reach the Great Tree before ten days passed, right? Then it’s better to effectively use those tiile, and loser nature deeply ingrained in, into someone who excel in combat"

"Wh-why did you think that…"

The rabbit-ears were tre that can be felt from Hajime’s eyes and whole body Shia naturally doubt Hajime’s abrupt declaration

"Why? Did you ask why? Shameless rabbit"

"Au, you still not called me by name…"

Hajime with skeptical eyes explain to the depressed Shia

"Listen well The prouys was only to protect you until you done guidingme, did you already think about it?"

Haulia tribe’s members look at each other then shake their heads Kauely felt the uneasiness, it seeht was thrown into the corner of their minds Or it was possible that they didn’t think about it at all

"Well, it looks like you didn’t think about it at all No one told me you’ve think about it after all You’re weak, so you can only run and hide in front of malice and possibility of injury To that kind of you, the place to retreat called Faea Belgaen was lost In other words, when one, you’ll once more fall into predicaht, everyone of Haulia tribe look doith dark expression Meanwhile, they can Hear Hajime said

"You didn’t have any way out There is no protection nor place to hide However, demonic beasts and hu on there will be only path of annihilation… are you okay with that? Are you okay eakness as the reason of your ruin? Is it okay for the lives that you luckily got back uselessly gone? What do you think?"

No one utter any words and gloomy atmosphere filled their vicinity Until someone suddenly said

"There no way I can accept that"

Haulia tribe began to look up having touched by those words Shia was already look resolute

"That’s right That can’t be accepted Then, what should you do The answer is easy Just beco Just attack all the trouble that cohts with your own hands"

"… … but, we are RabbitMan tribe We didn’t have strong body such as Tigeredman tribe and Earthman tribe… … we are totally, that…"

Because it was a coive birth to negative feelings Because they are weak, they can’t fight Noas Haji this Haulia tribe Hajih from his nose

"Did you knoas called "incompetent" by my former companions?""

"Eh?"

""Incompetent" you hear, "incoe person The weakest a more than a burden in combat Therefore, I was called "incompetent" by my former companions Indeed, that was the truth"

All of Haulia tribe members were surprised by Hajime’s confession They can’t believe that Hajime as able to easily defeat Raisen Grand Canyon’s brutal demonic beasts and Elder of Bearman tribe who excel in combat was someone "incompetent" and "weakest"

"However, I as fallen into the botto I didn’t think if so was possible or i then I’d die, that’s why I fought with all ht in that crisis … … when I noticed I was already became this"

All of it was talked indifferently, however, all of Haulia tribe h their whole body because of the sublie person means his specs is even lower than RabbitMan tribe In that situation, he was able to defeat er than demonic beasts in Raisen Grand Canyon that they can’t even ain His abilities and the fact that he survived even though he was the weakest after challenging thosethose bizarre situations If it was thenation Just like how the accept the decision from the Elders Conference

"Your situation now is similar to mine Now promised to yourself, let’s break the despair into pieces I don’t care even if you think it was impossible for you You’ll only be annihilated next time After all, I won’t help you after the promise is accomplished It’s okay to spend the little time remained in your life to lick each other wound just like losers"

Then, ill you do? is what Hajime asked with his eyes There is no immediate answer from Haulia tribe members Well, it can be said there is no other answers They understood there is no other road to survive except to beco It’s not like Hajime protect their family out of justice Therefore, he will surely abandon them after their promise is fulfilled However, even if they understand that, their nature is peaceful and gentle, the RabbitMan tribe’s gentleness is stronger than anyone else, that’s why for the into an unknown territory It was difficult for thee their way of life unless they fall into the exact situation just like Hajime

Haulia tribe fall into silent and look at each other However, Shia who since a while ago floated a resolute expression look at theaze then she stand up

"I’ll do it Please teach ht! I don’t want to stay weak anymore!"

Her shout echoes all over the Sea of Trees A declaration to say there is no need to thinkIt was scary and painful, above all it was sad to hurt and to be hurt However, it was the truth that she was the cause in driving her tribe into current predicament, so she absolutely won’t let her tribe perish For that certain purpose, Shia wanted to becoainst the nature of RabbitMan tribe

Shia with unyielding deterht at Hajiradually change their expression into resolute one, one by one they stand up In the end, not just the male, female and children of Haulia tribe all stood up and Kam who represent them move a step forward
