Vol 2 Chapter 5 (2/2)

On the contrary, Carol who had a fierce look on his face and did not allow anyone to get close had a short and slight figure. If it weren’t for his expression, he would even think that he was a woman. Both Carol’s and Silvie’s personalities and looks were simply extremely mismatched; it would have been much better if the two of them exchanged them.

Cale felt a little like sighing in sorrow, but thinking about it again, there probably wasn’t anything more suitable for Carol than black hair and black eyes, and Silvie was indeed a golden haired and blue-eyed radiant fellow…

“Cale, you absolutely must not leave us!” Silvie said seriously. “You’re being chased for your life! However, as long as you follow us, nothing will happen to you for sure! Carol is immensely strong, after all!”

Cale had never doubted that. He was only extremely dubious as to how it was possible for Carol to let a stranger who was being pursued follow him. However, the other person had not stopped him from following him and, instead, had even left Silvie to stay by his side, while Carol was in front leading the way.

“Cale, let me tell you! Carol is really very powerful! Except for having a bit of a temper…”

“OhmyG.o.d has been my playmate since I was young. He has helped me a lot and has saved me multiple times since my youth…”

“My teacher was a very great bard. My resolve is to become a bard that is like my teacher, but I still have a long, long way to go…”

… Perhaps Carol only wanted to find someone to listen to Silvie talk? Cale had a feeling that he would rather walk beside Carol and be frightened half to death than to walk beside Silvie and be talked to death!

Cale took a peek at OhmyG.o.d who was on Silvie’s head. Its two little eyes had already completely shut, and it looked like it was sleeping soundly. He started to feel a bit of admiration toward this little thing. With the constant noise of Silvie talking non-stop paired with footsteps that were a little flighty due to high spirits, it was truly no easy feat for it to still sleep so soundly despite being on his head!

At the very least, he wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h back his sleeve, so that his right hand wouldn’t be jerked around. How irritating!

Suddenly, the hand on his sleeve tightened, and without being able to grasp the situation, Cale was dragged downwards… Then he realized that his view had suddenly become a wide panorama. This was not a good thing, since it was because he was sliding down a cliff.

Silvie had only slid for a short while before he was caught by OhmyG.o.d who was on his head.

OhmyG.o.d had been pulled in to a long length, tail wrapped tightly around Silvie’s chest with the rest of its body coiled around a tree branch.

Though OhmyG.o.d had caught Silvie, it had not attended to Cale. Seeing how he was about to say goodbye to this world, Cale frantically tried to grab onto something. However, the cliff-face was simply too smooth, and he was completely unable to grab onto anything… All of a sudden, he abruptly stopped falling and was suspended in mid-air just like that.

At this point, Cale felt as though his heart was about to jump out of his chest. When he blankly looked up, what he saw was a blur of red and black… Carol was grabbing onto his right hand.

He was a little stunned, until Carol hauled his entire body up. He then regained his senses, and with complicated feelings, he said, “T-Thank you…”

Carol only gave him an indifferent “Hm” and then turned around with a furious face. She loudly reprimanded Silvie, “Don’t tell me that not only are you going to endanger yourself, but you are also going to drag down people beside you?”

She seized Silvie’s collar and roared at him, “When someone is walking beside you, you better spend more time looking at the road! Don’t just talk and talk without stopping! It’s one thing that you normally endanger yourself, but do you even want to endanger other people too?”

Silvie shook his head violently and then apologized frantically to Cale, “I’m sorry, Cale, I’m really sorry!”

Cale didn’t know how to answer him. That he had fallen off a cliff just by walking really made him want to give Silvie a big scolding, but Carol’s rage just now was so scary that he felt that Silvie was a little pitiful.

“Let’s go!” Carol gave a growl.

“Y-Yes!” Silvie hurriedly tugged at Cale’s sleeve and then chased after Carol.

For the rest of the journey after that, Carol did not lead the way like before but rather walked together with the two of them.

Even though he had almost fallen to his death a moment ago, Silvie was still talking non-stop and was obviously not paying attention to the road.

“You should pay some attention to the road, right?” Cale reminded him with a whisper.

Silvie was surprised for a moment and then replied as though it was an incontrovertible truth, “Carol is walking beside me! I don’t have to pay attention now!”

… Perhaps, Carol really is a good person, Cale thought in his heart.
