Akihara Sekka no Shou - 1-1N

[Cave]

Sek: Brr, it's so cold. The climate's been going crazy since that day.

*Kosinpu appears*

Sek: Hm? The influence from the heavens and our friendly Kamuy is clashing, so the surroundings of Asahikawa are like this?

Sek: I get that much. Got it explained several times over. And one, and two... I guess I can call it a day here.

Sek: This mountain cave is getting pretty wide. My own hiding place. And in case of emergency, my shelter.

Sek: Those things from the heavens seem to be mainly targeting specific shrines or places with a lot of people...

Sek: Which means that if I dig really deep underground alone in a mountain, they might not find me, right?

Sek: Hehe. With my Hero powers, I should be able to dig out a pretty sizeable space.

Sek: ...I guess I'll work a bit more. The deeper I go, the better my chances of survival.

*Kosinpu appears*

Sek: Ah! That's... The enemy's coming. Time to go! I've got to do what I must do!

[Asahikawa surroundings]

Citizen A: Waaaah! The monsters are here again!

Sek: You'll be fine! The Hero is here! Damn you, targeting fishermen on their way back!

Sek: Leave it to me! Take that!

Citizen A: Ooh. They're being skewered one after another. The Hero's spearwork is divine as usual.

Sek: Huh!? A call!? They came from a different direction too!?

Citizen G: Hero, please head here right now!

[Asahikawa surroundings - residential area]

Sek: I cleared that area of enemies and came running here, but as far as I can see... There aren't any enemies.

Citizen B: I-I'm sorry, Hero. I saw some white figure and was afraid...

Sek: Don't worry about it. I'll protect you.

Citizen C: ...Hero. Are we going to survive?

Sek: If we keep defending against their attacks, some other survivors are bound to come to our help eventually.

Citizen D: Hero... No, should I call you Akihara-kun? I value your efforts more than anyone else.

Sek: I'm glad to know someone as important as you holds me in high regard.

Citizen D: So come live at my house. You lost both of your parents, it must be hard on you.

Citizen E: No no, the Hero should live at my house...

Sek: Ahaha. Sorry, but there's no place like home...

Citizen G: I will take responsibility for distributing the caught fish.

Citizen E: Oikawa-san, about that. You should distribute it more evenly.

Citizen G: How can you even say that at a time like this!? Useful people should be prioritised first.

Citizen D: Tsk...

Sek: ...Well, I'll return to my patrolling then.

Sek: Brr, it's really cold. Fairy, can't you at least help me out with this?

*Kosinpu appears*

Sek: Hm? What about telling the others about this cave?

Sek: That's going to increase human presence here. What if those things from the heavens find us?

Sek: Oh fairy, fairy. I might be a Hero, but I'm still just a frail human.

Sek: I'm desperate to survive. And I don't think that it's a bad thing, either.

Sek: After all, I got this Hero power. What's wrong with putting it to use?

Sek: I've got piles of emergency food stocked up, too. I should be good for a few years.

Sek: I'll give it my all as long as I can. But if things go haywire, I'm running here!
