Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aiest～ Chapter 54 (1/2)

A certain female Swordsman’s Intrusion (side Merutia)

Forest of Noah was a place erous than rumors

I inning while advancing smoothly, but e had to turn around because of a cliff, ere attacked by a large spider

Ia pincer attack with Yuno, but it erous if it is one-on-one

After a long walk, the vicinity starts to darkens

Yuno picks a rew in the forest, and we use it as light substitute

Half a day had passed since we enter the forest, but we haven't found any clue related to Dorz

I guess it was just a bad rumor after all

”Umm, Yuno-chan thinks we had already enteredthe deep forest” (Yuno)

”Rather than co here because of the request, I’m here purely for er, so shall we head back?” (Merutia)

When I answer unapologetically, Yuno glares at me with moist eyes

”Well, I thought it was like that too” (Yuno)

When I was about to turnin the distance

In front of the entrance of the cave, two statues are placed

One was shaped like a dragon, the other one was shaped like a human

Although there’s already a shrine between the village and the forest, is this one also the sa?

But i’ve never heard of a religion that worshi+p dragon in the village at all

”As I thought, we need to check it” (Merutia)

When I turn around while saying so, Yuno is sniffing around with a ‘sun sun’ sound from her nose

”Eehthat smells like meat, no matter how you look at it” (Yuno)

When I look at the direction Yuno points, a large amount of meat is stabbed to a tree that doesn't have any leaves

Frankly, it was a strange sight

I was preoccupied and doesn't notice it

”T-there was a big monster bird with this kind of habit, I think i’ve heard of it” (Merutia)

”Really? Did the bird pick up all the leaves or is it the villagers? The meat too, I think it was cut to a reasonable sizes you see” (Yuno)

”We-well…” (Merutia)

Just when I found a convincing reason based on e at hand, it was easily denied by Yuno

”But still, I don't think there are people living in the forest depth”

I think for a bit after saying that

Don’t telltouched by the nature?

But still, why do such a thing?

”A-as I thought this request is really weird u know! Let's cancel it, canceled! In the first place, it wa impossible to do a C-rank request with only two people!” (Yuno)

” A little bit et closer to observe the stone statue Anyway,this is too suspicious” (Merutia)

As I approach the stone statue, Yuno also follows behind ly

””

When I get a closer look at it, I understood that it ell done

However, I cannot guess the time it was made

It's unnatural as there are no scratch at all, like it was iic to prevent deterioration
