Immediate Trouble in the Great Desert

A broorld

«Guryuu-en Great Desert» was a place those words expressed, perfectly The sand was brown, for constantly threw up the sand and dyed the air brown, and in a 360 degree radius, there was only one color as far as one’s eye could reach

Moreover, there were nu and small, whose surfaces were always stirred by the wind Moment by ing, as if expressing "I a sun and its unreserved heat round shoot up quickly It easily exceeded 40 degrees celsius Coupled with the fluttering sand, it was the worst environment to travel in

However, it was only for "ordinary" travelers

Currently, inside such a severe environic-driven four-wheeler in fact, was advancing casually while raising a dust storh there was neither road or pathway, it was solved by the compass installed inside the vehicle

"… The outside is ae"

"This one agrees This one doth not kno it became such an environment… but indeed it isn’t a place this one wants to be activelythe sand battering theand observing the brown-colored world, Shia and Tio muttered so, wholeheartedly No matter how much of an M Tio was, this environment only depressed her

"It’s completely different from when Myuu came here before! Here’s very cool, and Myuu’s eyes aren’t hurting! Papa is aht~ Myuu-chan, do you want to drink cold water?"

"Want to~ Kaori-oneechan, thank you~"

Sitting on the lap of Kaori, as seated on theside of the front seat, Myuu was excited because it was different from the time that she was here when she was kidnapped before Myuu was looking at Haji eyes

That was natural It would have been terribly severe for Myuu, as achild around four years old like her, it would not be strange for her to have died due in her weakened state Having endured such an environap between that time and now After all, this four-wheeler was equipped with air conditioning

Following that, the one who agreed with Myuu, took out cold water which normally didn’t exist in the desert even if one hoped with all their ht, was the one who made an impactful confession to Hajime and declaration of war to Yue in Hol-ad, and, before he knew it, she had become one of his companions She was Kaori Incidentally, the water was taken out of the refrigerator installed in the car

"You know, Shirasa-… Kaori Please stop saying Hajime-papa It is somehow made me felt terribly itchy over here"

"? But, isn’t Myuu said that as if it was the norm?"

"Well, I don’t mind Myuu However, for a classmate to call me papa is really…"

Due to her personality which liked to look after others, Kaori somehow became the one who took care of Myuu and she mostly called Hajime as Hajime-papa when she was by Myuu’s side And for a classirl at that, to call him papa, Hajime felt a different sense of resistance from when Myuu called him that, and he wore a truly subtle expression

Incidentally, for Hajime to call her as "Kaori" was a result of her petition Her reason was, Hajiiven name, so it is unfair forlike that

"Is that so? Then I won’t… but, someday when I also have a child… at that time…"

Kaori said so with her cheeks dyed crie atmosphere wrapped everyone inside the vehicle, except for Myuu Then Yue answered Kaori in place of Haji

"…Unfortunately, I have made that appointment already Hajime promised it to me"

"!? … Hajime-kun, what does she e After all, it is so still in the far future"

"… fufu, Hajime already promised to introduce ht family plan"

" !?"

"…Even the dates in Hajiorous attacks couldn’t be stopped! Those words, one by one, became stakes, driven into Kaori’s chest However, Kaori wasn’t a woman that would be done so easily She believed in Haji situation and she held the courage to challenge Yue, who obviously owned a special bond with Hajian her counterattack!

"I, I know a lot of things about Hajime-kun that Yue doesn’t know! For example, Hajienre! Does Yue know the ania that Hajime-kun likes?"

"Hmph… that’s… but, those aren’t related to the current us There are no such things here Hajime can just teach me once we arrive in Japan…"

"How naive Just look at the current Hajime-kun Doesn’t he looked like an aniht between Kaori and Yue but soe

"White-haired with an eyepatch, s Hajime-kun’s favorite characters have… even his weapon, that Cross Bit is modeled from funnel… ah, but the one Hajime-kun likes is 00, so is it GN Bit? Whatever it is, the current Hajime-kun is still quite the otaku"

"GAH!? K-Kaori…"

"Mu, muu… for Hajime’s weapon to be derived from that"

"Yue, can you say it is your victory if you don’t know the things the one you love likes?"

"… Kaori… that’s sos that Hajime likes on…the bed"

" !? … W-, -, on bed, uu~, as I thought…"

"Fufufu… it is good that you no the difference between us"

During their travel, Yue and Kaori had already ainst each other that the other party , Shia watched them anxiously, but in the end, it didn’t beco herself involved with thee Hajime was the source of the two’s quarrel, so the content of their fights e because the things he worried about thepointed at

Now Yue boldly told theht" activities whichto hear it Hajime himself didn’t want Myuu to be exposed to that, so he tried to stop Yue

However, faster than Hajime, Myuu unexpectedly came to stop the two’s quarrel

"… u~, Yue-oneechan and Kaori-oneechan always quarrelling! Myuu hates it if big sisters don’t get along!"

Saying so, Myuu moved from Kaori’s laps towards Shia’s lap in the back seat Moreover, Yue and Kaori becairl said she would hate the in front of Myuu-chan Rather, that was bad for her education I also understand how much you two think of Hajime-san, but please be more prudent"

"! …What a failure To be scolded by Shia…"

"I-I am sorry, Myuu-chan, Shia"

To be admonished by Shia made the two droop their shoulders

For Yue, Shia was akin to a friend and younger sister, and although Shia also held affection towards Hajiht similarly towards Yue which made Yue didn’t think of her as a love rival As for Tio, she was just a pervert That’s why, Kaori, who made a full-frontal declaration of war towards Yue, was the first love rival she ever had

Yue was convinced that there was an absolute bond between her and Haji confidence that she was Hajime’s "special person" That’s why she was confident that she would be able to easily defeat the challenger, Kaori, when the confession and declaration of war happened

However, although her confidence didn’t change, Kaori sometimes made the flowers bloo about Japan, which was unknown to Yue and the others Towards Kaori, who knew the past Hajime that she didn’t know of, Yue’s sense of rivalry budded before long

As a result, just like children boasting about their collections, their quarrel turned from a serious one into such a situation and today, Myuu and Shia finally got angry at the Yue, but he was the one who received e from the two’ quarrels And now, he could only look far into the distance, as if it didn’t have anything to do with him, to heal his wounded heart

"Nn? What is that? Master, there seems to be a commotion in the direction at three o’clock"

Yue and Kaori were desperately appealing that they were getting along toMyuu with a wry smile Hajime muttered, "I am not a chuuni" with hollow eyes While those happened, unexpectedly, Tio atched them in interest called out to Haji outside the

Haji dune at his right There, numerous worathered Their numerous heads could be seen at the top of the dune

Those sandwore-scale deest ones were around 100 th They lived in this «Guryuu-en Great Desert» and would usually subround and attack prey in their vicinity by opening their big, fangs filled mouths fro hard to detect and were feared by people who crossed the large desert as the gods of death

Fortunately, the sandwor as one wasn’t so unfortunate as to come near them by accident, they would neither notice nor aim at anyone as far away As such, it could be said that there was someone as not that fortunate at that dune, but…

"? Why are they just squirht, Tio would have not made a doubtful face and asked Haji With Hajime’s perception skills, he would have noticed any of the sandworet out of the sandwore with four-wheeler’s speed What was abnor so around in their surroundings

"It’s as if, they art confused as to eat or not, right?"

"Well, froe of this place But those art all-eaters, they shouldn’t be hesitating to eat anything…"

Although Tio was a er than Yue and unlike the ie was pretty vast That hy she owned reliable infor doubtful

However, they didn’t have any reason to be involved with it Haji or getting involved in it

And at that time,

"Kh!? Everyone, brace yourselves!"
