97 Night in the Forest 2 Difference in ability

Waoon!
I see, you have a name called Tarou. Nice name

Wafun, wau, wau
Oh, I see. You got your name from the person called Mai. How did you met-nojya?

Kuuun
I see, thats hardlooks like you also went through many things

Tarou and Shiro face each other, and they looked like they are having a conversation.
Shiro strokes Tarous back while becoming teary eyes, and Tarou also looks like it is sad as its ears and tail are down.

When did the two of them get along? Wasnt today the first day they meet each other?
Un. It looks like Shiro-chan has the same Talent as Shinozaki-san.
I see. No wonder People with Communicator can speak to dogs, huh
No, she is orginally a fox
Fox?

Akai and Kagura are sitting in front of the campfire while looking at the two of them. By the way, because Shiro is using the figure of a girl, everyone thinks that Shiro is a girl, but Shiros gender is male.
When both of them looked at Shiro and Tarous mysterious exchange, suddenly, one animal and personto be more precise, two animals turn and run up to them.

Somehow, it smells good-nojya
You mean this?

Akai has been grilling the meat with the campfire. Todays dinner was the curry made by everyone, but for Akai, that wasnt enough, so he brought back a wild rabbit that was dragged into the training with Hikawa, as a snack. A wild supper.

You wanna eat? Theres still more
C-Can I!? Thanks-nojya!

Akai holds out the meat skewer to Shiro, and he starts to eat it as if s.n.a.t.c.hing it away. He also gives Tarou some leftovers, and Tarou looks happy as it wags its tail.
When they finished eating, Shiro spoke to Akai while licking his palm.

Youare quite a good guy. Do you have a name? If not, I will give you a name
Me? Its Akai. Akai Tsubasa

Shiro raised his ears, and started to say the words that came out from Akais mouth.

Akai? TsubasaAkaiTsubasa

Just like that, after reciting Akais name like a spell, he said this.

No, too long-nojya! You are Tsubjya
Tsuba?

Upon hearing the name, Akai had a strange look on his face, and Shiro now turns to Kagura.

Andyou are Mai? I heard from Tarou
Waoon!

Receiving looks from both Shiro and Tarou, Kagura smiles.

Thats right. You are Shiro-chan, right? Nice to meet you
No! Not Shiro-chan. Its Shiro!

Shiro who desperately corrects his own name. Kagura was puzzled for a moment, but she immediately smile, and

I understand! Nice to meet you, Shiro
Umu

Just like that, Shiro and Kagura start a trifling conversation. Seeing them from the side, Akai walked into the forest alone.

I really couldnt do anything

I lost utterly in todays training.
I didnt stand a chance against him at all, and he completely go easy on me midway after being disappointed. That might be inevitable. I cant even put up a good fight due to the huge difference in ability.

I know the reason of the difference.
The movement of Hikawa is totally different than mine. Akai doesnt have any movement means using the Talent like Serizawa and Hikawa. Thats why, the situation gets worse and worse for him, and even if he manages to land a surprise attack, he will be outpushed immediately.

No, its a lie if I say that I dont have a movement means.
I have a high speed movement means for emergency evasion. A method of jetting flames directly from my body. But that cant be used for a normal movement means. If I do it, my skin will be charred in seconds.

Today, I actually tried using it once.
As a resultI destroyed myself instantly.
Although I manage to move quickly for a moment, my skin was burned terribly, and after that, I had to fight him while feeling the pain for the whole time.
When I showed the burned marks to Kagura, she scolded me harshly

If I make a mistake, I might be on the verge of death by my own flames. What a ridiculous thing.

Serizawa somehow cant feel the heat itself, so he handles it as theres noheat in it. Thats why, he can accelerate that quickly by heating near his body rapidly.
On the other hand, Hikawa creates a wall of ice skillfully, and hit it to the ice beads to create a sudden propulsive power. That one is something that becomes true with skilled moves.
In addition, those two didnt acquire it with effort, but with just their natural sense.
Ability and talent. That movement is something that can be done with both of those.

In comparison to that, I
Fly by using the blast of the fireball. Thats my best. However, I must still do it with the resolve of getting wounded to a certain extent.

Im getting sick of myself

When I thought that I was lionize by the army and private schools, I lost in succession.
When it comes to real thing, I have not done anything on my own. When Im with the guys who are one step better than me, I will just be a small fry.

I know that more than enough already.
But still
I must become at least a meat shield at the critical moment. I must make sure Kagura survives. Its to repay my debt to her father who brought me up.

I need to think of a way

Even though I say that, I cant think of anything.
As if to dodge it, Akai starts his usual muscle training.

Sit-ups, push-ups, squats. Daily running, and if he has the time, rope-jumping. He plainly build his stamina.

I have been doing only these recently

Theres no way that this way is fine.
But I dont know what I should do.
Without knowing what to do, Akai just moved his body continuously in the dark forest.
