Chapter 59 [All I need is me](9)
“……It’s boring.”
With just a few steps, you can quickly reach the front of the rare green forest.
Dante murmured, blinking leisurely as he leaned against the flat stone pillar.
About 10 minutes have passed since Nagi jumped vigorously through the dense bushes, saying he would come hunting.
It’s warm inside the cave, and a cool breeze blows from outside. It was Dante who was staring at the front in a hazy mental state with his eyes half-closed like a cat who was unknowingly tired of sleeping.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve been alone like this…’
A procession of trivial thoughts.
Dante let out a small yawn and slowly stood up while stretching.
No, I was about to get up.
Go away!
“Ah, it’s hot. Ouch… Why is the static electricity suddenly…”
Gripping Support Support Support Support Support Weaving──!!!!!!!!
“!!?”
Until a huge blue lightning strikes from the sky.
◇
“aaah!!!! f*ck my eyes!!!!!”
A weak demonic boy rolling around on the ground with both hands covering his eyes due to a sudden lightning eyeball attack.
Maybe it was because he had fortunately closed his eyes quickly during his misfortune, but soon after, his eyesight gradually returned.
No, that one, that one is 100% better!? Nagi is never right!!? Are you sure something happened to her!!!?
Even during the Familiar Contest, I didn’t see that level of power, but despite this distance, I felt the tingling static electricity through my fingertips all over my body.
It was as if the whole world was dyed blue.
There is only one opponent that Nagi can use such a great technique…
“……Olivia…”
He said with a sigh.
She’s not her, if she was an ordinary beast or dragon, she would have already been knocked out in one shot.
[──■■■■■■■■■■!!!!]
“……!”
As expected, before I could organize my thoughts, I heard a very familiar dragon’s roar in the distance.
That, too, was an extremely angry cry.
From noble mtl dot com
Dante frowned and tore at his hair with a puzzled expression.
Why?
Why did the battle happen?
Nagi, who has a cautious personality, wouldn’t have started a fight first, and of course, if he was going to hit the first, it would most likely be Olivia.
…..Is there a reason to fight?!
If I had been with Nagi, wouldn’t you know, and even if I did run into him, you might think that he’s just one of the ordinary beasts living in the mountains!?
I don’t know.
I can’t even guess at all.
As an ordinary criminal, I couldn’t understand the crazy accident of my master who gave away the dog next door to common sense.
“Well, there are cases like this (*savage demon swearing)!!”
Goddess of the Almighty Sky, why the hell?
No, why do you keep giving me these f*cking trials because I did something so wrong?
Do you really want to be slapped with a b*tch?
He said that all of his faith would disappear.
It’s crazy how high the probability of a hunting thunder tiger and a hunting black dragon colliding in that vast mountain range that is both horizontally and vertically long!
It’s clear that the world hates me.
THIS f*ck!!
I grabbed my throbbing head and forcibly raised my wobbly legs.
Dante was crying.
──It’s my fault.
It was his own fault.
She shouldn’t have let her go, she should’ve been more careful.
She’s crazy, she’s hungry even though she knows Olivia is obviously in the mountains, she must have said such useless words.
Damn it, I was too complacent.
I can’t believe I’m repeating the same mistake again.
If because of me, because of me, if nagi dies——
“Ooh, ooh…!!”
A delusion that embodies the worst possible assumption.
Dante, gagging at the moment of contact with the cruel ending, took a deep breath.
Now, this wasn’t the time to be here.
Unlike before, the light sound was quite quiet, but that didn’t make it safe.
I didn’t know how the situation was going, whether Nagi managed to escape Olivia or if he was captured.
Yes, the current priority was to grasp the situation.
It is also very earnest.
To do so.
“…I should go to the site myself.”
With a silly smile on his face, Dante put his hand on his chest.
“I’m sorry… I tried my best not to bother you, but I don’t think I can handle this job on my own.”
So, please lend me your strength.
“──Yeonhwa.”
Dig-!
Watching the white orb surrounded by bright light escape from within his chest, Dante called out his familiar’s name in a low voice.
◇
Todok!
A ball of pure white hair that has turned once in the air lands lightly on the floor.
Upright ears, fluffy tail, and even a red pattern on the face.
The white fox the color of snowflakes neatly put her feet together and looked up at Dante prettily.
“[Yes, Dante. What did you call for?]”
Seeing Yeon-hwa speaking in a clear tone, Dante confessed everything about himself with tears welling up, as if he was suddenly filled with sadness.
Yeon-hwa, who finished grasping her situation in just a few seconds, centering on her key keywords, tapped the floor with her forepaw.
“[Hmm… Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt… Let alone using blue lightning…]”
“I beg you, Mrs. Yeonhwa. Please help me…”
As if she knew something, she chewed on Noiho’s name for a while, then opened her eyes wide at Dante’s earnest voice, and then burst into a small laugh.
“[Whoops, no, no. Dear, at times like this, it’s not asking for help, it’s saying help.]”
Why would the owner ask his familiar for a favor?
Yeonhwa smiled and drew an arc on her mouth.
“[And don’t worry too much. If the thunderbolt was a tiger that really uses blue lightning as you said, he wouldn’t be able to easily harm even a black dragon.]”
“! You seem to be familiar with the thunderstorm?”
“[I haven’t seen it myself, but I can say I have some knowledge.]”
Gently wagging her tail, she took a few steps behind Lair.
“[Well, I’ll tell you the details as I go, dear. Please close your eyes for a moment.]”
“Yes? Oh, yes…”
“[Right.]”
On? Eye? Why?
“[It’s a bit primitive, but this is the fastest means of transportation. The size… Since you have to ride in steep mountains, you’d better adjust it appropriately.]”
A primitive way? Size? Ride the mountains…?
…!? Come on, no way!
“Wait a minute! Wait a minute Yeon-hwa! Perhaps, that means of transportation…!”
“[Um, of course it’s open.]”
Dante let out a scream mixed with joy and astonishment inwardly.
The joy came from the pure anticipation of riding on the back of a fox for the first time in my life, and the astonishment was due to the terrifying trauma of riding when I was born.
As soon as I got off, I vomited, and I thought I was going to die because my stomach was turned upside down… Really.
Soon, Dante shook her head violently as if to dispel her thoughts.
Asshole! Is it time for me to cover hot rice with cold rice? There is the fastest way, but of course you have to use it!
“[You mustn’t open your eyes until you say you’re free. Do you understand, Dante?]”
“Yes..I will…”
As I kept my head down with my eyes closed tight enough to wrinkle my surroundings, soon after, I started to hear a sound that sounded like my bones were breaking.
To be honest, I was curious about what the hell was going on in front of me, so I briefly thought about opening my eyes.
After all, I decided not to, so I quit.
Because, above all, we promised.
At the end of a minute,
“[It’s done. Now open your eyes and look up.]”
When the words of permission finally fell from Yeon-hwa’s mouth, Dante slowly lifted his eyelids.
Let’s raise our heads as soon as the golden eyes are revealed,
There, a huge fox with purple eyes silently looked down at herself with her head lowered.
As soon as our eyes met, the fox smiled thinly.
“[Good boy logo.]”
……I did well not to open my eyes.
Really.
