Chapter 14
“……For you to ?”
“Shall I show you an actual threat for once, Kawazu-san…”
Kawazu-san, who ended up co with me, directed a really suspicious look my way
This Frog, I wonder what kind of person does he think I am?
Italk with him about it
Then again, I never expected that ould end up searching for aperson
“Don’t say anything derogatory Even I would have moments where I want to save someone”
“Is it really just that?”
“A-, then, this village is the nearest to the forest so it won’t hurt to gain their favor, right? Also, they ive us a discount at the inn”
“What a stingy guy”
“Don’t say ‘stingy'”
It wasn’t the right tiic now
While thinking of that, I observed the deep forest In the e unexplored areas
{Side of} the lost girl
Alheie land
It is the abode of fabled creatures, secluded and is unexplored
It’s not a place where one should enter without a certain level of resolve
At the end, it would be easy for terrifying beasts to snuff the life out of the unprepared
“Haa……haa……daddy, mommy……”
The girl singlemindedly ran without a sense of direction
She readily went into the woods when she heard that there was a herb that could easily cure injuries
She was confident
She had always been living near the forest anyway, she should have had some wisdom and experience
Actually, she had always stolen glances at the forest where adults always enter
“……I even thought it would go well! What in the world is that guy!”
The one chasing behind her was a de with three heads
She’s never seen such a thing before
She had completely lost her sense of direction due to her panic in trying to run away
Had the beast been serious, she probably would’ve been eaten already
The fact that she was still alive is only because the ani with its food
“……I only thought that father’s wounds could finally be cured”
The hope and joy that she was feeling a while ago turned into bitterness
Finally losing her strength, she crawled under the shade of the nearest raised roots of a tree
“Grrrrrr…”
“!……!”
She heard the the nearing footsteps of the large beast along the forest floor, her skin at the sound
The groere gradually co in her little heart turned cold
Each creeping step increased her certainty of as to come, it was the voice of the Grim Reaper
“Don’t coo away……!”
She desperately repeated that like a mantra
She was at the point where she no longer has any strength to scurry away
Desperately suppressing her ragged breathing, she hugged her pained knees There was a sudden sound
Swish!+
There was a sudden and unpleasant creaking, the nearby trees were rustling
The tree she was under fell down slowly then it round
And finally, the reason for the cause of the commotion slowly entered her field of vision
This close, it really was too large
A foul sure The beast stalked
She gasped for air and with every sound, she further curled in on herself; doing her best to suppress a scream
However, such actions were useless
She carefully turned her gaze back and the beast was there, unquestionably laughing at her
“……!!”
She couldn’t make a sound
Death
She thought
The beast was ai to pounce
And then
“Kyaah!”
“Nng-wah!!”
Suddenly, an unexpected voice was heard She raised her head
Without so aze, she heard a soirl was jolted
It was a familiar voice
“A-, found you Dangerous! Is this what they call a Cerberus?”
{Side of} Tarou
“[Plant Manipulation] is too convenient” (Tarou)
“Even looking for things becomes simple, huh” (Kawazu)
Since ere inside a forest, I tried asking the plants for a favour and it unexpected ell
[Plant Manipulation] is a ic that could move a forest
I asked the trees to see if a child entered the forest, and a telepathy-like infor where she went
With branchesarrow shapes
Even without search ic, there are ways to use what you have!
