《Arcana》Chapter 22 - Orchids
Advertisement
Dwarves, beings that are loved by earth.
All of them are small, slender yet unbelievably strong.
They are so loved by earth that the earth gave them authority; authority of gravity.
They can make the things they touch lighter or heavier.
Dwarves can lift huge rocks as if they were lifting paper.
From our history, dwarves were labeled as masters of blacksmithing.
Enrica said that there were still blacksmiths among the dwarves in their village but it isn’t the number one occupation.
As for the ones I’ve met today told me, everyone strives to be a ninja.
Taking control of gravity to travel at amazing speeds on different terrains and using the heaviest weapons for the kill shot.
This is why the dwarves carry weapons that are much larger than they are.
As for why they are here, they’ve come for the Succubus Orchid’s fruit, which brings us-
“Human, you don’t have to help us. This is none of you concern” [Enrica]
“My name isn’t human, my name is Lan… you saved me earlier, this is the least I can do” [Lan]
“I do not need your thanks” [Enrica]
“Well, I need you to receive my thanks” [Lan]
“…annoying human” [Enrica]
“Please?” [Lan]
“Grrrr… Do what you want!” [Enrica]
“Thank you… Enrica” [Lan]
We’re now observing the Succubus Orchid from the distance.
It doesn’t really look that strong, I was just caught off guard earlier that’s why Enrica had to come and save me, thinking I was weak.
“Yo, human, you in?” [Ruin]
“…yes” [Lan]
“Okay then, you’re back up. Don’t get in our way” [Ruin]
“A-ah…” [Lan]
I wanted to actually help not as back up… this is a bit disheartening.
“Taft, you’re the decoy. Stonoir and I will be the first ones to intercept. Shen and Enrica you’ll be the main attackers. Human, you’ll be on stand-by” [Ruin]

““Roger!””” [All]
“Got it” [Lan]
“Our objective is to remove the fruit before it dies. If we kill it, it’s over for the monster and for the fruit, got that? Let’s not assign anyone for that role. To anyone who gets the chance, take it” [Ruin]
A few moments after our meeting, we went to our positions and the first to intercept was the dwarf with a huge mace; Taft.
(WHAM!)
(SKREEEE)
“How’d you like that? You big piece of sh- Ah?!“ [Taft]
Taft did not know that what he did… had no effect.
Before he could retreat as he was only a decoy, the Succubus Orchid’s vines grabbed his foot.
“TAFT!” [Stonoir]
“S-stand back! I got this!” [Taft]
Taft smashed the vines with his mace with countless blows but the vines were durable enough to withstand it... wait no, the vines are regenerating! Making it look like it’s vines are invincible…
This is troublesome…!
The monster was slowly trying to place Taft inside its’ mouth, as if to lure us to save him.
“N…N-nooo… NOOOO!!!” [Taft]
“I… can’t take this anymore!” [ Enrica]
“Wha?! Enrica wait!” [Shen]
With amazing speed, Enrica lunged herself to save Taft but before she could get close, Ruin-
“Puah!” [Enrica]
kicked her stomach
“ENRICA!” [Shen]
“Enrica… Calm down, we’ll save him. Leave it to us” [Ruin]
“Kuh… cough… cough” [Enrica]
Ruin and Stonoir went to save Taft
“Don’t get cold feet now!” [Ruin]
“Right back at you” [Stonoir]
With breakneck speed they rushed from the right and the left, in the middle of this event-
(WHISH)
“TAFT! STONOIR!” [Shen]
“DAMN IT! TAFT, STONOIR, YOU THERE?!” [Ruin]
“I-I’m fine! For now…” [Taft]
“Geuh…” [Stonoir]
Stonoir and Ruin were captured as two more larger Succubus Orchids appeared…

“Y-you’ve gotta be k-kidding me” [Enrica]
I couldn’t watch anymore and this was what I was for… the companions of the person who saved me were about to be turned into fertilizer.
“H-Human? Stay back! You’ll… I saved you to live! Cough…!” [Enrica]
“Human, this is our problem! Run away! Better yet, take Enrica with you and keep her safe!” [Shen]
“N-No! What are you saying Shen?!” [Enrica]
I went to the collapsed Enrica then I reached my hand out to her
“N-No…don’t… don’t do this… No, don’t listen to her, don’t let me leave my-!” [Enrica]
She was screaming…
Crying…
In pain…
In despair…
But not once did she hesitate to stay with her comrades.
I can’t stand this
“H-huh?” [Enrica]
“I’ll repay my debt now. Leave it to me”
