Saka climbed the tree and found the canal the giant had talked about at the top, wondering if they could enter it. Was it really worth it? Saka: Damn, this thing looks scary already. I don't even want to go inside, but... Ugh, damn it! How do I move inside? I can't really see anything, and all the giant said was to just go straight. Damn, I have to go down now. He said someone is after me. Saka jumped into the canal and slid so fast that he screamed in fear. Nothing surrounded him but terrifying darkness. Saka: Aaaaahhhhh!
The scene shifted to the armored man, Vitsuko, walking to the site of the previous battle between the snake and Saka. The armored man, Vitsuko: Damn! It looks like there was a fierce battle before I came, but could it really be the boy? He continued forward until he saw the snake's body stuck by the river in some trees.
Armored Man Vitsuko: Oh... oh... God, I'm really starting to doubt that the boy killed it without weapons, just his bare hands. Is that even possible?
The soldier ran an examination of the snake and the readings indicated that Saka did kill it.
Armored Soldier Vitsuko: Oh, that's insanely amazing. Who would have thought a human could kill a monster without even a gun? Those are things we used to say to each other when we were kids, thinking they might come true!
Anyway, it seems...? *strange rustling noise*
Armored Soldier Vitsuko : Who's there? No need for trouble, right?
The "Fishman" emerges from the forest to the river and dives in.
Fishman: It seems you humans never learn your lesson. First the boy, then you.
Soldier Vitsuko talks to himself: The boy? Does he mean the owner of the salamander blood? He must have met him. Does he know where he is?
Armored Soldier Vitsuko: I don't... *Shut up!!* *The fish man interrupted him, shouting*
Fish Man: Do you know who that snake was, you bastard!! He was my friend, now I'm going to kill you.
For him hahahahaha
The fish man attacked Vitsuko directly. He didn't even give him a chance to respond. But Vitsuko, the trained soldier, knew his priority was to find the owner of the salamander blood. The soldier confidently dodged his attacks.
Armored Soldier Vitsuko: You mentioned the boy, right? Do you know where he is? The attacks continue on the soldier, but none of them touch him.
Fishman: Ohhhhh, yes, he's in the place I'll send you too.
Fishman grabs the soldier's leg and throws him up.
Armored soldier Vitsuko in the air: "Hey, who thinks monsters are good at jokes? Listen, how about I shock you? I'm not the one who killed your friend, it's the boy. If you tell me where he is, I'll go and avenge you. What do you think?" He lands safely and begins to retreat into the river to keep some distance between himself and his enemy.
Fishman: Enough lying!!! The boy is dead. I killed him. I twisted his head and threw him into the lake. How shameful you are, you human! Blaming a child, so vile! First of all, how could a child kill a snake this big? You're just a liar, but... I'll do you a favor. You want to know where the boy is, right? Let me eat you, and you'll meet him...
The fish-man entered the river with a wicked smile from ear to ear.
