The wolf-headed people are looking for traces of the girl everywhere.

They even rummaged through the old garbage in the alley, but found nothing except irritating their sensitive noses of the wolf-headed men to the point where they temporarily lost their judgment.

"The Land of Ba'akasadi (continue somewhere else)"

Although it was unclear how they chased the girl who was right in front of them, the human girl would never be able to escape from the village even if she had wings.

Wolfman captain Huffman is very sure about this.

"Bana (get it)!!"

After the wolf-headed warriors saluted Huffman, they immediately dispersed and continued to search for traces of the girl in other parts of the village.

There is a reason why these wolf-headed men are so stubborn in finding Nia, a human girl.

When this group of wolf-headed men planned to sneak attack the village as planned, they did not expect that because the villagers evacuated in time, the whole village was already deserted.

This is completely different from what was expected.

Although this allowed them to plunder property without restraint, they were unable to understand the specific situation of the village. This would not be easy to explain to the leader Nursa.

But at this time, they accidentally discovered a villager who was still in the village. Naturally, these wolf-headed men were chasing after her to get some information from the girl.

So where did that girl go?

Nia looked up at the high wall in front of her, which was about four meters tall, and looked at the shoe prints on the top and side of the wall with a look of disbelief.

That's right, just now.

The girl turned over. The shoe prints were left by her own white cloth shoes that were full of dust and mud. There was no mistaking this.

He just wanted to run forward blindly, even if he had reached a dead end without knowing it, he still had the intuition that he could climb over this wall that was several times his height.

The moment she jumped towards the wall, not only did she not feel that it was a dead end, but she felt that it was a way to survive.

Thinking back now, that moment just now seemed like a dream:

After she stepped on the wall, she could grab the other side of the wall with both hands. Then she climbed up to the top of the wall, and finally reached the other side of the wall with another step.

Nia, who seemed to be out of danger, pressed against the wall, listening to the movements of the monsters on the other side of the wall.

At first she heard the sound of the wall being peeled off, and Nia guessed that they were trying to climb over the wall.

But she believed they all failed because no wolf-faced monster could poke its head out from the top of the wall.

Nia thought to herself, fortunately, these monsters did not think of using the method of stacking Arhats to cross the wall.

Otherwise, she probably would have to keep running away.

Moreover, now that I have...it is inevitable that I will be caught.

Because, now that she had just rested, she found that her legs seemed to be tied with shot put balls and she could not run anymore.

Nia's physical strength has reached its limit.

Now she felt as if her whole body was exhausted and she had no strength anymore.

Nia felt that her head was hurting due to lack of oxygen. But when she breathed in the cold air greedily, her burning lungs immediately swelled and hurt, making her very uncomfortable.

There was no pain anywhere in my body, and I couldn't move my body.

The girl had no choice but to lean against the wall and gasp, trying to relieve the severe pain in her body as much as possible.

"Cough! Cough! Cough..."

Because her breathing was so rapid, she couldn't help but cough.

I coughed until my throat seemed to be bleeding, and my body, which was almost out of control, reluctantly stopped.

Fortunately, during the time she was adjusting her condition, there was no sound from the other side of the wall. It seemed that the wolf-faced monsters had gone far away, and they did not notice any changes on the other side of the wall.

Nia stood up from the ground while holding on to the wall, and shook her still dizzy head sideways, finally trying to regain her composure.

Nia, who had just escaped from the wolf's mouth, was the most relaxed, and was completely unaware of the black shadow that appeared behind her at this time.

"It" approached the girl who was defenseless and stretched out her hand towards Nia's back which was already wet with sweat.

"Nia...?!"

"Ugh!!"

The man had just called out Nia's name in great surprise, but was jumped when Nia suddenly screamed.

"Nia, don't be afraid, it's me!"

She reached out to hold Nia's shoulders to prevent the frightened girl from falling down.

"You!? Who?" Nia was still trapped in the panic just now, and even her thinking was a little blurry. She didn't even remember for a moment who this girl with a slender figure and some freckles on her face was.

"It's me! Lisa."

The girl held Nia's shoulders and brought her face close to Nia's face, so close that the tips of their noses seemed to be touching.

This was to make the panicked girl in front of her recognize her. Lisa stared at Nia's aqua blue pupils, as if she wanted to imprint herself in Nia's heart.

"Lisa...it's really you!"

Nia finally recalled the identity of the person in front of her. She excitedly took the girl, who was much smaller than herself, into her arms and immediately burst into tears.

"I should be...not dreaming, right?"

Faced with Nia's question, Lisa chose to stretch out her arms and hug Nia back.

"Of course not. How could it be a dream?"

She patted Nia's back, which was wet with sweat. As if Nia wanted to confirm whether she really existed, she wrapped her arms tightly around her waist.

"Nia... don't be afraid! I'm really here."

Lisa laughed, then she made a fist with her right hand and hit Nia's back hard.

"Okay! Nia, it hurts me so much!"

"Huh? Um...Sorry."

Hearing Lisa's little complaint, Nia immediately let go of her hand.

"Um... Lisa, are you the only one?"

Nia's mood has returned to normal. She looked around and there seemed to be no other people around. Could it be that Lisa came here alone? Back to such a dangerous place?

"No, there is Uncle Federer. We came together to find you and Aunt Yuffie."

Lisa shook her head, pointed in one direction and said.

Nia looked in the direction Lisa's hand was pointing, but she didn't see the familiar shadow of the uncle next door. Instead, she saw a large upside-down basket that was very common in the village.

"Where is he?"

Nia looked confused. She looked for a long time and didn't see Federer's shadow.

"I'm here!"

Federer suddenly rushed out from under the basket and made a face at Nia.

"Are you scared? Miss Nia."

"Um... maybe so, a little bit?"

After experiencing being chased by those wolf-faced monsters, the uncle next door's jokes seemed to be meaningless.

But she also understood that Federer was joking and making faces with her at this time, just to make her happy. So Nia didn't hate this cheerful and enthusiastic uncle.

"Nia, why didn't you and your mother go to the village center to evacuate with us?"

Federer, who became serious next, asked Nia about the reason why mother and daughter could not evacuate together.

Now Nia also explained to them what she had experienced just now, and they also learned something about each other that they did not know before.

However, Nia did not tell them about her experience of being chased by those wolf-headed men. Because even she was not sure what happened, it was better not to get involved in the topic.

"So Aunt Yuffie... was she about to give birth at that time? Nia, is it really okay if you are not with her?"

As soon as she said this, Lisa regretted it a little.

It's not like she doesn't know Nia's character clearly. She cares about her family as much as she does herself, and sometimes she even feels ashamed when faced with Nia's filial piety.

If there was no special reason, why would Nia abandon her mother and run around in the village?

"I... didn't know what to do at the time, so I ran out to find someone for help..."

Nia couldn't continue talking when she mentioned this. She was worried about the safety of her mother who was still at home alone.

After all, you could see those ferocious wolf-faced monsters called wolf-headed men so close to home before, so my mother probably...

"As a result...we are all not here?"

Federer took Nia's words and scratched his head. He felt extremely regretful about what Nia had said.

After all, as long as he had gone to see the situation of the mother and daughter, there wouldn't have been so many troubles.

"Um...Uncle Federer, where has my father gone?"

Why didn't he come to us?
