V7C157 (2/2)

In that condition, Kanon would probably be able to follow even if she increased the pace — Haurvatat thought that and told Norn to ride on her back (Stella, in turn, rode on Norn’s back) before she started running with all her might. (TL: Lol Haru is looking quite monstrous now with 2 people stacked on her back.)

Of course, with Norn on her back, she couldn’t pull forth her full speed but if she could follow this speed — Haurvatat looked forward to seeing if Kanon was capable in terms of instantaneous power compared to stamina. If it is the job of a Blacksmith to wield a hammer then she should have arm strength as well.

“Haurvatat-san, if you wish to test me then you can raise the speed slightly more. I have confidence in my physical strength after all.”

“Aah … riding brings back memories of riding on Fenrir … Haru-san, please go slowly.”

“Fenrir … that legendary beast? You rode on its back?”

Although Haru’s voice was slightly raised, she still asked with composure. However, internally she was astonished.

Haurvatat heard about the legendary beast Fenrir from the person who sealed it after all.

That person was — Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei. She told Haurvatat about it.

She expressed that she could defeat Fenrir with a single arm. Haurvatat knew that it was a form of compliment to its strength. After all, normally she would say she could defeat them with a single fingertip or even without having to use a single finger.

In light of the conversation until now, she speculated that the current master of Kanon and Norn was a person capable of removing the seal on Fenrir and control it as a subordinate.

” … Yup, a lot has happened on our journey to here.”

Norn said ambiguously. She had no choice but to say it ambiguously.

Since she can’t speak of anything about her master.

In the end, Haurvatat returned to the Cat Sith village at 70% of her full speed.

As she ran there at full speed and came back at 70% speed, Haurvatat’s legs were burning up to the point that pain would run through them if touched, no, it was in a state where the pain persisted even if they weren’t touched.

Nevertheless, they somehow made it.

“Kanon? Kanonnn!!”

Malina ran over and hugged Kanon.

“Wait, calm down Malina. Didn’t you say she has grown? She’s exactly the same as before.”

“That was unfair, leaving all on your own. I haven’t even had the chance to thank you. So I’ll say it now. Thank you thank you thank …”

Suddenly, Malina was started — and pushed away Kanon who she was hugging.

” … More importantly, it’s … terrible!”

“To think that our reunion would be like this … you’ve certainly become a little stronger, Malina.”

Kanon said somewhat sadly.

Ignoring what Kanon said, Malina told them about the serious incident.

“Jofre-san and Elize-san were attacked by somebody … and suffered serious injuries …”
