Chapter 25 (1/2)

Resolution and Tears

Beowulf sunk into the muddy stream. It had suffered Daniela’s strongest hit and this concentrated avalanche of debris. What kind of monster would be able to survive…

“Is he…dead?”

Daniela asked as she came to stand next to me. However, that was a death flag. It was almost miraculously optimal that I just happened to brace myself.

Because before I knew it my body had broken through the wall behind.

“Hhha….ggg…”

I couldn’t breathe. There was a high-pitched ringing in my ears. My vision was a blur of white fog. My body felt so heavy, it was overriding any other sensation.

“…gi…sagi…Asagi…!!”

I can hear Daniela screaming my name. Or at least, I think that I can. Surely there was no one else here that could call me.

“Asagi, huh. That was pretty impressive for a human b.a.s.t.a.r.d…”

Who, what…? The sudden voice brings me back to full consciousness immediately. The first thing that I see is the ceiling. Then a shadow. Then I’m a.s.saulted by the impact and weight of something on my chest.

“Ggggaah, ahh….d.a.m.n…!” “I must congratulate you on being able to hurt me to such a degree.”

Beowulf said as he pressed me down with a single paw.

“d.a.m.n you, release Asagi!”
