Isekai ni kanaderu densetsu ~toki wo tomeru mono~ Chapter 9 (1/2)
It’s sudden but I’m currently with a Goblin? I’m running from it and it’s chasing after me with great momentum. Why did it became like this?
A few minutes ago――
I’m walking on the plain slightly away from the Royal Capital and looking for a reasonable animal like a cat to confirm my ability when I saw a humanoid shadow in the distance. At first, I thought it was a child because I can see its small stature clearly from here. A lost child in a place such as this? I carelessly approached it but it wasn’t a child. It wasn’t even a human.
It’s holding a club with one hand and its whole body is green with hideous face and drool dripping from its mouth…… is this a goblin? I forgot that this is a different world, I’m such an idiot!
I’m sorry.
When I looked into its eyes, both my instinct and intuition told me that this green goblin-ish creature is dangerous and I had to run away quickly.
「……」
「……」
We silently stared at each other for several seconds……this is? It’s holding a club but it’s surprisingly a non-aggressive monster? Such thought was instantly shattered.
「Goga~a~a」
It seems it deemed his prey a powerless human being and it suddenly brandished its club and attacked me. Its attacking appearance with drool spitting all around gave me an impression of gross rather than scary.
I’m little anxious if my ability will be effective to this guy. I thought the word time stop in my mind like I was praying.
Stop~tsu!
「……」
「……It stopped?」
Quickly after, everything brilliantly stopped moving. The goblin(temporary) stopped while drooling and brandis.h.i.+ng its club. I don’t hear any sounds other than my own breathing, if I look closely, I can see the drool spitted from its mouth floating. No, more correctly, it stopped midair. It really stopped everything in place. Fantastic!
「Goga~a!」
Uo~tsu!
The goblin(temporary) started to move again. That reminds me, it can only stop the time……for 5 seconds. Let’s make it stop once more.
Stop!
What?
「Goga~tsu!」
「That was close!」
The time stop didn’t work as the monster swung its club at me. Although I successfully avoided it, the club graze at my left shoulder and tore my s.h.i.+rt.
Even though I remained expressionless, I broke out in a cold sweat. It’s natural because I didn’t experience being struck by a club back in Earth. Well, it’s considered good that I got off with just only a cold sweat despite being a level 1.
「But, this is bad. I have to take this chance to get away…… Alright, let’s make a run for it.」
――Thus, it lead to the present time.
The moment I turned around and started running, the goblin(temporary) gave chase. It’s about 120-130 cm tall and it’s shorter than me who’s 174 cm tall, so naturally it can’t keep up to me with its shorter strides.
Alright! As expected, the goblin(temporary) wasn’t fast and I gradually made some distance. Because of that, I got some breathing s.p.a.ce.
However, I still don’t know much about the time stop ability and I need to know more about my status. For the time being, let’s look for a place to hide. After that, I also need information about the opponent. Because the way to the town is long and tiresome, I don’t want to run away and defeat it in any case!
Poun.
A strange sound rang inside my head.
「What’s that mechanical sound just now(?)……」
I didn’t misheard it. It’s probably something amazing……
After some time, a forest gradually become visible in the distance and it seems the monster is not entirely happy about chasing around and wasting stamina. Because I made a considerable distance from the monster, I jump and hide into a lush vegetation near the boundary between the plain and the forest.
The monster came near the forest and look around the vicinity, it looks like it had lost sight of me.
Now……
Status!
