Chapter 64 (1/2)

Chapter 64 – Face to face with Haku's parent desu

There is a small wooden scaffold built in the middle of Oise Village.

According to what Elder and Misaki says, Haku's egg was placed and wors.h.i.+ped there.

However, it was washed away by heavy rain, arrived at Laura, and then finally returned to Oise Village once again.

With that scaffold behind them, Laura and the rest pa.s.sed through the village, entering the forest.

There is a steep cliff deep within the forest that surrounds Oise Village.

When they advanced parallel to that, a cave appeared.

It is a cave with a huge entrance that even Leviathans and Behemoths would be able to enter.

「I-It somewhat feels like a tremendous presence reaches this far……!」

「There's clearly a big shot……」

Charlotte and Anna stared deep into the cave and shuddered.

「If you're scared, it is alright to wait there」(Misaki)

「I am not, scared! Come, Annsan, let's go ahead!」

「Honestly, I'm scared though……」

「Please shut up!」

Charlotte forcefully pulled Anna's hand and willfully strides into the cave.

Laura and the rest also followed behind them.

The cave was deep, the rays of the sun do not reach it.

However, thanks to Charlotte making light using magic, they were able to look around closely.

And at the same time, a gigantic sleeping dragon emerges in the back.

「Hyaa!!」

Charlotte screamed and clings onto Anna.

Even if it is not her, anybody will get surprised if a dragon suddenly appeared in front of them.

However, that is not a dragon, but a G.o.d Beast.

「It has been half a year, Haku. You look quite haggard huh」

The Great Sage muttered and approached the G.o.d Beast.

Just like she said, that G.o.d Beast seemed very feeble.

It had a mouth that can swallow a whole horse and an enormous body that cannot fit in the school's cla.s.sroom.

However, its white scales did not have l.u.s.ter, and it is very thin that its ribs can be seen.

It was true that there was a G.o.dly aura that can be felt before they entered the cave.

That is still present, but looking at her like this, it had an impression like a dying ember.

「Great Sage huh……I'm glad to meet you in the end」

The G.o.d Beast opened its eyes and mouth and replied to the Great Sage with a low voice.

「Ara. To say that this is the end, what a sad thing to say. What happened to your spirit like the time when we fought against the Demon G.o.d together 130 years before」

「Don't be unreasonable. I have lived 200 years longer than you. This body is already at its limit. I was able to safely give birth to a child. Let me rest already」

「……is that so. I'm very sad to lose my oldest friend, but it can't be helped huh」

With just a short conversation, how many meanings was thereーー?

Laura tried to think of it, but the imagination of her life that she had for 9 years was completely insufficient.

「And so, the one on top of that girl's head, is my child?」

The G.o.d Beast stared at Laura. More specifically, it stared at the top of Laura's head.

Although it is weakened, a G.o.d Beast is one of the G.o.ds.

A divine existence that was sent to the earth by the Supreme G.o.d at times more ancient than the ancient civilization.
