Chapter 11
A tiny hero
…………。
…………………。
Vaguely, my consciousness returned .
My body is painful all over . It’s heavy . If I slightly pay attention to my body, it’s covered by painful looking injuries all over .
I don’t want to do anything .
I’d like to sleep on the cooling earth of the forest the whole time already .
No good, I seem to be succumb to the pain and suffering .
My current state……At any rate, I ought to understand my current state .
What happened to Milia? What happened to me?
I directed my awareness before my eyes .
A grey wolf came into view .
Seeing that, I was convinced that I lost .
If perhaps, when I woke up there is no wolf and Milia is also safe……such an expectation is cut down with a single stroke like this .
It’s so, damn it, it’s your win .
Do as you like . It’s troublesome to stand up too .
Kill me quickly .
“ ”
Probably because my consciousness has not recovered, I do not understand what the grey wolf is howling .
However, without finishing me off uneventfully, the grey wolf disappears into the depths of the forest in a hurry .
Ah, what is it?
Which reminds me, there is a out of place feeling from my mouth since a while ago .
What have I been holding in my mouth all the time?
The power of my jaws is approaching its limit, and the item held in my mouth drops to the floor naturally .
It’s a bloodstained grey wolf .
[44 Exp obtained]
[Due to the skill called [Walking Egg : Lv–], additional 44 exp is obtained]
[ Level of [Baby dragon] increased from 22 to 23]
… . . Ah, it seems like I will evolve soon .
When I raise the neck that was even troublesome to move and try looking left and right, the portion of remains for 2 grey wolf rolls over .
Did I bring them down? These guys, I defeated them?
Even if I consider from the speed the level rose, it seems to be correct .
It’s consistent to think that I rampaged after losing half my consciousness when I was close to death just now .
That’s right, Milia……where is Milia?
Milia? Milia?
Ah……
I spot Milia who had fallen on the ground, and rush over .
She’s alive . Still alive .
Although her HP continues to be shaved off by bloodshed, she is still alive now .
Carrying her on my back, I started running, dragging my tattered body along .
I pulled out of the forest before long, and rows of raised soil comes into my vision .
Is that… . . a field? Then, is there a human habitation nearby?
In time, I made it in time .
It’s bad but because I do not have the strength to take a roundabout way, I stepped over the field and cut straight through it .
Whenever I took a step, I even felt the illusion similar to my body becoming light .
Something like a house came into sight .
I walked into the village while staggering .
As it’s at night, the figure of people are not readily found .
Milia doesn’t seem like she has such a long time .
She needs treatment even right now .
I raised a loud voice when I came to a place in the middle of the village .
“GUOOOOOO!”
Somebody, please help Milia!
Come out!
“GUOOOOOOOOOO!”
“GuuOOOOOOOOOO!”
I cried over and over again, pleading desperately .
And with a [Kyi] from behind, I heard the sound of door opening .
Good, Milia would be rescued with this .
And, I am already close to dying too .
Earning their trust through Milia somehow, I want to rest my body .
If it goes smoothly, I might remain in the village and abandon the life of the forest from today .
Learning [Gurisha language : Lv 1], mutual understanding should slowly be possible sooner or later if I am taught carefully .
Hunting with humans, I may be unexpectedly useful even if it’s fieldwork even just because of my strength .
I turn around towards where the sound was .
There was a man’s face peeking from the opened door with a half vigilant feeling .
「τέρας！」
Immediately following, an intense pain ran through my shoulder .
An arrow was stuck deeply .
The man who shot me, glared at me like that while preparing his bow .
Biting my lips, I stood up although my feet were trembling .
Is that so……that’s right, I am a dragon .
Then, there is no choice but to attack if a dragon walks to the middle of the village at night and howls while bringing a bloodied human along .
The man stop moving when our eyes meet .
He might be regretting for not defeating me in a blow .
Looking at the status, there is no big difference with Milia without skill .
The person seemed to understand too, that he couldn’t fight against a monster directly .
I dropped Milia in that place, and ran away from the village .
The man drops his bow, and the sound of his knees dropping is heard .
Surely, Milia will be saved with this .
This is all right . It’s good with this .
Anyway, I will look for a place that will allow my body to rest .
[Level of skill titled [Spirit of relief] went up from 3 to 4]
