Chapter 17

“… And then, I was completely worn out. I feel like at this rate I’ll really get an ulcer…”

“Don’t cry. Cheer up.”

Me and the G.o.d of Hunt (abbreviated: Hunt) were sitting next to each other in the stone chamber. When I tried talking to him, it turned out he’s a great chap, who sat hugging knees to his chest and lent me his ear.

Anyhow, he might look eerie but he’s a G.o.d, not an evil monster. When he understood that I’m not an adequate hunting prey — that is, I’m too much of a shabby opponent, he has completely lowered his weapon. It also seems that, the fact that he killed the adventurers’ familiars was actually him disposing of animals let loose by robbers, who were causing a disturbance in the ruins.

“That before, above, amazing. That, Rēko?”

“Yep, you’ve got great intuition. She left for town just a while ago.”

“That, strong. Very strong. Not human. Dangerous.”

“Nah, she’s still a human. She just went a bit too far with her wrong a.s.sumptions.”

“Amazing.”

While remarking briefly Hunt felt deeply impressed. It seemed like Reko’s awakening was hard to believe even for a

G.o.d. What is she, that child. After I complained for a while and felt refreshed, I’ve wiped away tears with my forelimb and asked.

“By the way, are you living here?”

“Yeah.”

“It has to be hard. Adventurers wreak havoc, robbers make this place their headquarters, it has to be noisy.”

“Not, really. No more, treasure. No one, comes.”

Having no visible face Hunt obviously had no expression, but he still somehow looked lonely. And yet, he still tried to ruthlessly kill the first visitor he had in quite a while, so his hunting pride must’ve been considerably high.

“Since no one’s coming maybe you should move somewhere else, where there’s more people?”

“I, this place’s G.o.d. I cannot go, anywhere else.”

“That’s just suffering. It’d be nice if there was something I could do to help…”

“Really?”

Hunt looked as if his non-existing eyes were s.h.i.+ning.

“Of course. You kept me company for a long while. As long as it’s something I’m able to do, just tell me.”

“After a, long time, I want to, go outside.”

I quizzically tilted my head to the side.

“Were you not allowed to?”

“Usually, I could not. But, when teaching hunting, special. Can go, gra.s.slands.”

“Ah I see.

see. Since you’re a G.o.d of Hunt, teaching is also a job of yours. Were you teaching humans long ago?

“Yes. Taught, a lot.”

I nodded in agreement and said.

“Then it’s decided. Please teach me hunting on the gra.s.slands above. Honestly, lately I was thinking I need to temper my body a bit anyway. With a G.o.d’s guidance it might be a little easier. Having said that, I’ve never hunted before, so please go easy on me.”
