Large centipede (1)

Fleeing from the kidnapper for half a day, we are still in the woods. No, we were trapped in a cave in the woods to be exact.

“What, this forest. Why is there such monster ?”
“I don’t know”

The power of the divine protection have completely cut off from us who have wandered in the forest overnight and Misha step have become heavy. At such time, we have encountered a giant centipede suddenly.

Though I have seen small centipede many time from childhood, it is the first time that I saw a giant centipede that 3 meters in length. We rushed and escaped into a nearby cave, because the giant centipede placed itself in front of the cave we stopped moving.

“What do we do?”
“What can we do?”

There are a long sword and a dagger that I gotten from the kidnapper place, there is no way I can win by fighting with a monster that is several time bigger than one own body.

No, that not being the case, but it need Misha cooperation, I am considerably hesitant about proposing that from my mouth…..

“Is someone there ?”
“Who !?”

Being surprised at the sudden voice, I turn around and there seem to be a person toward the depths of the cave. However, it dark and gloomy to be seen. The figure of a person stepped forward when I though so.

“Were you caught by that large centipede too ?”

It is a girl that is a little younger than me that came out, the hair that is tied behind revel light brown skin glowing red and big and beautiful eye that were impressive.

“Then, you ?”
“That large centipede favorite food is human, after driving human into this cave it will eat it slowly afterward.”
“HIIIIII”

It was Misha that screamed. But I became so sacred that I would have screamed too.

“Is there no way out ?”

Even if I heard it the girl shake her head in silence.

“I went to the back of the cave but it was a dead end.”
“It is down to fighting and defeating it ?”
“Because the centipede have strong life force, it won’t merely die easily.”
“…… Uwaaa aaaannn”

Misha burst into tears suddenly when I speak with the girl.

“ebetsuku…… I, die before it here. I ran away from the kidnapper with so much effort……”

Hearing Misha crying I felt down, and sat down on the floor of the cave and remained silent. The girl had the same feeling and sat down on the other side with a sad expression.

“……Kyle”

Misha who stopped crying unnoticed suddenly called my name.

“I do it.”
“Eh ?”

Though I did not know what was Misha saying immediately, I notice it in the next instant.

“Bu, but, there a child here……”
“Hey”

Misha turned around and called out to the child, while pointing her finger at her who was sitting opposite me.

“Huh ?”
“I, I fight against that centipede.”
“Eeee, that is impossible……”
“There are secrets. well, before that there are preparations, for a while if you could not see and also possibly close your ear I would be glad.”
“Is this a trump card ?”
“Well…… I can’t really say it.”
“……I understand. Then, just 1. Because the large centipede is easily scared, it will escape immediately if it think that it opponent is stronger than itself. Therefore, when fighting from the front and cutting the face seem to be the best way. Though I have never tried it.”
“Thank you”

I said so and Misha urged me to go to the depths of the cave. The girl according to the promised with Misha faced outside and hold down her ears.
