The rainy season begins (3)
I am thinking about something.
‘Why is that?’
Of course Winter knew why she was like that.
The momentum of the pouring heavy rain. And the condition of the nest and the crypt was serious.
But Misoah, second in the rankings.
And the list of words to have a conversation with Soyul, the next and second rank.
For some reason, at least it was a little different from what I expected in winter.
“Ahh.”
“How uh uh.”
‘A top predator. Threat detection. A dangerous trail.’
Hwarin Yu. Smile. And Soyul.
The aspect of the contents of conversations with each other spilling voices is somehow strange.
Winter blinked in puzzlement.
‘Huh?’
The conversation he thought didn’t happen.
The conversation between the three main werewolves leading the pack wasn’t about the lake level or the pouring rain.
Furthermore, all of them had hardened expressions.
It was strange that his expression was so bad that the nest was filled with water.
The three of them stood at the entrance of the crypt.
Everyone was looking at what was in Misoah’s hand.
The feeling I felt from it was unique.
Winter also sensed that peculiar sensation.
From noble mtl dot com
‘What is that?’
What can I say?
For some reason, the color was ominous.
Something like a long purple wire.
From there, dark magic that was thick enough to be described as unpleasant was rising like smoke.
‘What is it that has so much magical power?’
Is it a relic of something?
It could have been part of the weapon the hunters were using.
At least for the winter, I had no idea what that purple wire-like thing was.
Georeum tried to listen to the contents of her mother Yuhwarin and the other werewolves, who were talking to each other with a serious face.
I couldn’t understand it properly, probably because it was an unfamiliar word he had never heard before.
Indeed, they are higher than the water level in the nest of the group.
I was only looking at it.
“Ahh!”
“Miu Miu!”
But after a while, the conversation was cut short by the two sisters of the approaching winter chirping.
Mother Yuhwarin, smiling softly as usual, hugged her sisters.
Yuhwa Rin looks at Misoah and Soyul and gives her an incomprehensible nod.
Then she turned to the group and shouted.
“Haaa!”
The inner meaning of the cry was simple.
It was ‘let’s move’.
Since winter has already been a word that has been heard many times.
He understood the meaning at once.
[···Arr?]
Her mother, Yuhua Lin, held her struggling winter in her arms and passed her voice on to her sisters who looked up at her beside her.
“How.”
Follow me.
Let’s say that with a lot of meaning, and it seemed that he understood it right away.
The sisters of winter nodded and followed Yuhwarin, who took the lead.
Shoot!
They climbed over the crypt and went outside.
Now living here was no longer possible.
Because it belongs to a relatively low land, the water was rising.
Following Yuhwarin, who leads the way in the pouring rain.
Misoana Soyul. And other packs of werewolves followed.
“Ha, how, how…”
And among them.
The other day, there were two werewolves whose stomachs were getting bigger.
“Ha ha. Ha.”
[Werewolf. 24 Years old, Eve.]
[Werewolf. 23 Years old, Rubris.]
They are adults named Eve and Rubris, breathing heavily.
Perhaps it must have been quite difficult, the two of them were holding on to the boat they had called. He was being supported by other colleagues next to him.
They are about to give birth.
I could see cold sweat running down me just by walking.
[·······.]
Winter was held in the arms of Yuhwarin, her mother.
It must have felt like he was staring at me quietly.
Eve, who barely took a step, smiled while staring at him forcibly.
The unspoken meaning that he was able to endure was conveyed to him through his gaze.
Winter did not respond to that appearance.
Instead.
Sure.
He just lifted his front paw.
From that moment on, a blue curtain spread over everyone’s heads.
It was a water curtain.
Winter condensed the moisture around it and spread a round curtain like a wide umbrella.
The falling rain didn’t even reach the werewolves’ bodies, but hit the curtain and rolled around.
Thanks to them, no rain drenched the pack of werewolves.
It was entirely thanks to the winter.
“How?”
To that bizarre sight.
Misoah and Soyul, as well as most werewolves, looked at the curtain above with their mouths open.
Thanks to this blue curtain, it seemed strange that it did not get wet in the rain.
Georeum met Eve’s eyes once again and sent a warm feeling.
Nodding off.
Then Eve lowered her head and expressed her gratitude.
Perhaps she recognized that this was what he had done for them.
Recently, she was Eve, who had always stayed in the nest and waited for the imminent birth.
She may not be as good as Yuhwa Lin or Winter’s sisters, but she was already familiar with the fact that Winter deals with the manipulatives around her.
So they felt admiration for this large umbrella-like curtain that covered their heads, but did not feel a sense of wonder.
Instead, I just wanted to express my gratitude to Winter.
Winter, nodding her head, looked up at her mother again.
“Whoops.”
My mother Yuhwarin was looking at him proudly.
Winter rustled her tail at the touch of her Yuhua Lin stroking her own hair.
* * * *
Shoot!!
Thanks to the aid of winter.
The pack of werewolves was able to move smoothly towards higher elevations.
Since the entire group was moving, it took a considerable amount of time.
Of course, each of them is as fast as their pure physical performance.
The pace of childbirth was tediously delayed due to Eve and Rubris, which had reached the point of childbirth.
“Ha ha. Ha.”
They are both very full.
Even taking a step made me out of breath and sweat dripped down my wet hair.
Snack! Click!
While the two of them walked away, wringing out the strength they had so little.
The other werewolves in the pack were busy scouting the surroundings.
The sound of their feet clattering against the wet mud could be heard over and over again.
The feet were already wet with the rising water.
Just a moment ago, at most, only the heels were wet, but now it is already up to the knees.
The speed at which the water rose was steeper than expected.
“·······.”
Of course, it wasn’t just some colleagues who stood guard that raised the edge.
Winter’s mother, Yoo Hwa-rin, was also scanning the surroundings with a rather fierce gaze.
As there are comrades in poor physical condition in the group, you need to be extra careful.
At a time like this, a monster stronger than usual pops out.
That could lead to fatal consequences.
That was the moment.
[Kurrureu!]
Kooung.
With a heavy vibrating sound.
The figure of a black giant appeared between the trees in the pouring rain.
‘That’s…!’
The winter snow confirmed its identity.
It was greatly expanded due to momentary bewilderment.
[Tsutsutsutsu!]
A monster in the shape of a praying mantis, as huge as a house, appeared in front of them.
The guy with his razor sharp forelimbs and his glinting eyes was Giant Mantis.
A dangerous opponent.
It was a strong enough entity to become the boss of an S-grade dungeon.
Even Winter, who was a normal person, knew about him as well.
The anecdote of a world-class hunter party challenging the dungeon where he became the boss.
At the time, it was such a big topic that no one knew about it.
Giant Mantis was such a dangerous opponent.
I knew that Yuhwarin was strong.
I had no choice but to panic this winter.
Can a mother and a group handle a guy like that?
“·······.”
Hwarin Yu.
She seemed to recognize that he was not an easy opponent.
She opened her eyes narrowly and glared warily at the guy who appeared.
I passed the winter I was holding in my arms to Soyul, who was standing next to me.
He was one of the top predators in the deep forest area, who wouldn’t normally come this far.
Once upon a time Yuhwarin also faced him.
But she’s not an easy opponent, she backed down even though she and the guy faced each other.
[Tsutsutsutsu!]
But this time it didn’t seem like that.
Hey, Giant Mantis’ eyes seemed to be full of life.
The forest was filled with water and turned into chaos, and it seemed that they were trying to express their soaring ferocity and fury at least to them.
I didn’t intend to let this guy go.
As if they expected a fierce battle to break out here.
I can see the group of colleagues next to me carefully hugging Eve and Lucilis, who are full.
Chuck!
Hwarin Yu. And as if Misoa was trying to cover her crowd, she stood at the forefront.
The rest of the group started to retreat in the opposite direction of Giant Mantis.
I started to push forward as it was.
It was an all-out escape.
