Chapter 20 (1/2)

After my fateful encounter with slime, 1 week pa.s.sed.

I already moved to the second safety area.

I moved a little deeper in the dungeon but, there was no change in monsters.

What I can think of is that the monsters appearing with slightly higher levels.

I’ve been defeating quite a lot every day so most of my skills are above lv 5.

While wis.h.i.+ng for some sort of change, I left for my exploration.

——-It appeared while I was resting during lunch time.

When I thought I heard a Gasa Gasa sound, something small came jumping out of the bush.

Body covered with a green color. A squirrel-like animal.

It had a ruby-like gem on its forehead.

—–What is this adorable creature?….monster?

This small animal, tilting its head cutely and looking at me with its round and big eyes.

….I don’t really know, but I guess I should try using True Seeing Eyes.

Race: Carbuncle

Gender: Female

Gifted skill

Laser Beam

Magic Skill

Healing Magic Lv 3

Barrier Magic Lv 4

t.i.tle

Super Rare Specie

Ancient Beast

——Monster…is it? I don’t really know.

But there were some many parts which made me curious

Having an adorable appearance but holding a Scary Gifted Skill.

Not just a rare specie but a Super rare specie.

The t.i.tle of Ancient Beast just makes me go numb.

I don’t get how ancient this guy can be.

I don’t feel any dignity of an ancient being, rather just a cute animal.

…Should I subjugate it?

If possible, I don’t want to attack it.

I like cute animals, like Cats and Hamsters.

Even with this kind of face. Don’t judge people by their appearance.

And it was really easy to become friends with animals compared to humans.

So it is obvious I like them.

He’s been looking at me for a while already.

What did he want to do?

—–Maybe he is hungry?

While thinking so, I bought peanuts and a snack.

I placed it on my hand and gestured it to take.

He seems to be on guard and is not approaching me.

I threw one peanut.

Carbuncle, slowly and cautiously draws nearer to it, than it started sniffing, biting, and hitting.

It judged it to have no problem and It took a small bite.

Its’s eyes opened wide and the ear stood erect.

When I thought it stopped, it started eating it really quickly.

——-It seemed, it was hungry.

After finis.h.i.+ng it, it looked at me with a longing gaze.

I tried placing the peanut in my hand again and gestured them to it.

It is till on guard.

He is not approaching me I guess….

The moment I thought that——-

Teku… Teku…, it walked toward me little by little.

Slowly it reached out for the peanut on my hand.

It gripped it tightly and brought it to its mouth.

She ate it with a face full of happiness.

When I am watching this, it makes my heart warm.

I don’t know when she finished eating but she is showing a gaze saying it is nowhere enough.

After that, it was a feeding time.

When I noticed, the bag was empty.

A lot of time seemed to have pa.s.sed and the surrounding is getting darker.

When I hurriedly prepared to go back.

I looked at the Carbuncle and said “See you Squirrel. Be well”, and began my journey back.

—–Why. Why are you following me?

Yes, that Carbuncle is actually following me.

When I turn my head toward it, it looks at me with a curious face and tilts its head.
