After receiving Seth's command, Hihi immediately followed Seth behind. While walking he keeps looking around checking everything and keeping all the details in his mind. After following Seth for a few hours, Hihi already accepted the fact that they are currently in another world.
The trees and grass still looks the same that he remember in their 'world' but the flowers and plants that he saw while travelling are certainly different than the one that he have in his memories.
After awhile he suddenly noticed Seth stopped for awhile and started running, he was confused but he still followed. Being transported in a different world out of nowhere, Hihi promised to himself that he will definitely protect Seth-sama. He is still young and having been summoned is definitely not easy for him so instead of worrying about his situation, Hihi prioritized Seth first.
He immediately became alert and started looking at his surroundings. He can smell the scent of battlefield not faraway from here.
"Seth-sama, it's dangerous. Allow me to go first and check what is going on"

Seth looked at Hihi's worried expression, he was a bit touched but he don't have time standing on the side right now.
He remembered from his recollection from 20 years ago.
That bloody battle in the forest.
That fight was the one who caused Seth to avoid other people because he was traumatized, he's scared that if he's not strong enough everyone will die. He started to fear getting close to someone and lose them, but it's different now. He's no longer the same type of guy.
He will definitely not let those variant to hurt those innocent humans. Even though they isolated him before, Seth know that it was because they saw him killing human traitors and Variants alike without batting an eyelid at that time, he didn't have time to care about his image because he's facing that 'guy'.
He will make sure that it will never happen again. Definitely.
Running with all his might, Seth replied to Hihi without looking back
"We don't have time for that Hihi, we need to be there in time"
Inside the forest that didn’t have anything until now. However, he felt a frightening presence. The noise he heard at that time.
'Grawhhrr'
Seth’s face froze in an instant.
‘Variants!’
It was certainly the growl of a Variant.
'Grawwhwhhhrr'
The noise came closer.
