WE LIVE IN DRAGON’S PEAK – 23
Residents of the forest
The e wolf ruesoical beast and the man, an arrow fled there pass the mist
Reflectively the ical beast took a step away
Then the ilant while scowling to somewhere inside the forest
What’s up, what happened Who was the one who shot the arrow, I tried tomy neck I scan the situation around
“Inside this forest, I won’t let any filthy blood nor soul of a sinner to defile this place”
I and the ical beast, and the man as saved at hair’s breadth, at the end of our line of sight, the one than appeared froht along a bow Wearing a light green leather arreen colored, with silk like silver hair that beautifully arranged around his shoulder, and razor like intense features
Drawing the bow to its liical beast, he draw near carefully
Then, beside his intense face, fro pointed ear
Long eared tribes
I held my breath
The legendary tribe that being mentioned at numerous tale
That was the tribe that quietly lived deep inside the forest, honoring the nature, the one that placed a curse that would make someone lost inside the forest, and cut off any connection from outside world
“Pl, please help me”
Theeared tribesman
But, an arrow fled toward him from another direction, the man screamed in surprise
“You lowly sinner, do you think you have a qualification to beg for us to save you?”
The long eared tribesman asn’t just the silver haired man alone
Before are of it, there weretheir bow Atop the trees, inside the bushes, and then behind me At least there were around twenty of them
There were some with different color but, all of theuy
Even if our attention were focused to the first guy, we never thought that ould be surrounded by this many of people
“Kari What should we do?”
The one behind me opened his mouth
“Depend on the ical beast, if it back off here then we should just let it go”
According to what the person behind uy’s name was Kari
Theeared tribesilant Even before several people that brought a bow, it didn’t backed away even a bit
While the long eared tribes and the ilant to each other, none of them closed their distances
“As a ical beast, you should be at least able to comprehend what a person said Just back off already If you back off, then ill let you go”
While saying that, Kira-san fired an arrow at around the ical beast’s feet
With a sharp sound, the arrow stuck into the ground Kari-san’s appearance wasn’t looked that strong but, the arroas considerably fast
But the roaning at him
Since a , there were soent than a human
The ical beast, even with so many people surround it didn’t backed off even a bit, was thateared tribeser than all of them?
The space filled with a tense mood
Foreared tribes, if not, I won’t be saved
Then, please re The wound around my body, especially the arroound atAnd I can’t feel ht hand
“There’s no other way”
Someone had come
The ical beast stand firm
The long eared tribes pulled the bow string to its fullest
“All of you, please stop right now”
At the time they almost fired a deathly blow, I heard a familiar voices Then, the one that come was Mistral
She was literally descend here Froet down to the ground
The descend of the Goddess-sama, instead of appeared with such divine-like appearance, Mistral appeared while clad with thirst of blood
“Guh, princes Mistral”
Overpowered by the sudden appearance of Mistral, Kari-san groaned
“Kari-dono, please put off your bow”
“B, but”
Mistral’s tone was polite but, her presence while saying that was terrifying
Even that, Kari-san was hesitate while gazing at the ical beast and me, and also the man
“O ical beast, you please be obedient too”
Being told that, the ical beast even while groaning and turned its body, it obviously huddled
It turn its tail to conceal its stohtened by Mistral
That was, because you’ve being knocked down once right
“There is no probleical beast It didn’t harive toleration to it Or perhaps, do you think if you let it away, it may hurt old man who livde inside this forest, is that really the case?”
“But, it almost defile the forest with bloods of a sinner”
So eared tribes said that
“That was it can’t be helped since that was to save this boy Thisto save this boy”
While saying that, Mistral was pointing toward me
Eh, theh After all, wasn’t it was the saical beast that tend to chase after me thus far?
Moreover after being knocked down by Mistral, it won’t be strange if it hold a grudge toward me
Did my question shown atat me
“First of all, we should treat your wounds”
After said that, Mistral untie me
“W, wait, Princes Mistral You were indeed said that theto shed a blood to save that boy, but, who is that boy? Why he was tied deep inside the forest, moreover ounds all over his body”
While hearing Kari-san’s perplexed words, Mistral was treating my wounds
After the gag at my mouth was reusting feeling in my mouth disappeared
“It htly hurt but, if you’re a boy then please endure it, okay”
Mistral removed the arrow that still stuck at my shoulder
I attacked by pain for a second but, it i to my shoulder
It’s that right, that
“Pr, princes Mistral”
The ignored Kari-san was troubled But Mistral was gave her maximum priority to treat me, silently plaster my wound with nasal mucus panacea
