009 (1/2)

“Oi! Ai Fa, What happened!?”

While standing with one knee, I called from the rock

If she only slipped her foot, I would really be killed, so I couldn’t move recklessly

But, there was no answer

Only the sound of violently splashi+ng water The sound had a sinister feeling to it

“Oi! I won’t look there! If there is nothing, then please reply within 3 seconds!”

Whether “seconds” could be understood, I continuously called her

But, there is no reply

While enduring the frustration that made my heart painful, I still counted 3 seconds

“One…two…three!”

I stood and saw the river

There was…no one there

However

At one of the distant rock, I saw a fa around

And

At the nearby surface water, splashi+ng wave sprayed everywhere

I immediately threw the fur mantle, jumped over the rock and ran there

At the same time, Ai Fa’s face appeared from the water

Ai Fa’s face that looked like she’s in pain

“Ai Fa!”

Ai Fa’s mouth that desperately tried to find air was rushed by the river water mercilessly

Although the depth was only up to waist if she stood up, Ai Fa didn’t seem to be able to take her body out of the water anymore

“What are you doing! Hurry, grab my hand!”

I extended ht hand at the top of the rocky stretch

While struggling violently, Ai Fa’s weak eyes looked at me

“Dontcome near…”

Ai Fa voice became hoarse

Her body was gradually dragged downstream

“Don’t joke with rab it!”

If it’s like this, there was no choice

I threwrabbed Ai Fa’s body

The ertips touched Ai Fa’s sht hand with “shurun”

(TL: It’s a kind of sound when a certain animal coil around your hand)

“Uwaaa!?”

Instantly, severe pain ran through ht arm

I heard the sound of bone cracking

The object that was coiling th

With thickness sie object rapped by pale and dark scales

It was the tail of a big snake

The h” painfully

After the water splashed intensely

Ai Fa’s both arms were out of the water’s surface

With her fingertips, she grabbed the neck of the big snake

With the neck as big as a rugby ball, It held it’s fang out to Ai Fa

Ai Fa had been struggling with this big snake in the water

“This bastard…!”

While enduring the pain in ht foot further

Althoughfrom yesterday, I didn’t care about it

Although it had powerful strength thatit on!

I would just drag it out of the water The water floas gentle, Ai Fa’s weight also wasn’t heavy It’s possible to do it

Or rather, I would do it even if I die

“Oraaaaaaaaaa!”

With one psyched yell, I drew the power froht ar approached the edge of the river

I pulledsnake with my left arm

(TL: Asuta is badass!)

“Nuuuu…ryaaaaaaaaaa…!”

This already looked like weight lifting

I ah

“damn bastard!” (TL: くそったれえっ！ xD)

Once again, I put out all my power

After that, finally I was able to drag Ai Fa’s body up to the rock

“Kuuu” Ai Fa leaked out a weak voice The big snake’s body coiled many layers around Ai Fa’s naked body

Her chest, belly and right foot were in entangleht arm

The thickest part of its body was as big as h

It’s thickness and length was not normal

If you looked carefully, it's pale and dark scales were split and torn there and there This snake was already wounded like this originally, if not, Ai Fa’s bone may have already been crushed

“Ok! Don’t release my hand, Ai Fa!”

I grabbed a convenient rock nearby and sla snake’s head

It’s slimy and shi+ny body started to convulse

That snakes didn’t feel pain, seeot hit, it felt pain

While Ai Fa was still holding the big snake’s neck into the air, I slammed the rock many more times
