Chapter 118 - Koa And Chai’s Pup (2)

-Pup born between Koa and Chai’s POV-

The forest has changed.

The wind running through the forest used to be a bit uncomfortable but now, I don’t feel like that anymore.

On the contrary, I feel like the wind is gently enveloping me.

The dragons told us why.

They said that there’s a possibility of the world tree evolving because it has taken a lot of his lordship’s power.

This is something that has never happened before so we need to keep an eye on it.

In spite of the fact that it should be a serious matter, the dragons were looking at the world tree with a somewhat happy expression.

Father said that the dragons were the ones who were most deeply involved with the world tree.

Perhaps that’s the reason why they are happy to see the world tree looking so well now.

At the same time as the world tree has evolved, the power of the evil eye that covered the forest has been visibly reduced.

When we go hunting in the forest, I can see places where the black power of the evil eye magic is disappearing.

Until now, everything outside his lordship’s barrier was black and eerie.

Mother and father told me never to go outside the barrier.

Ai-san’s group and Shuri-san also looked very distressed.

They seemed to have been through something very unpleasant.

-0-

Shuri-san said that even though she experienced unpleasant things, it is because of those that she was able to meet his lordship.

That’s why she feels not everything is unpleasant.

I was told that a human king was invading the forest using evil eye to control it.

If the evil eye is getting weaker, then, something must have happened to the human king.

If he just disappears, the evil eye magic will disappear from the whole forest.

If that is the case, I wish that he’ll disappear.

-0-

Everyone is the companion his lordship cherishes.

I’m glad that we’re part of that group.

I want all those who torment them to disappear.

If our companion suffers, his lordship will be sad.

When I told that to father, he licked me gently.

I’m so happy.

I’m running through the forest with my siblings.

We will be hunting a killer bobo.

Normally, mother or father, or some other adult will accompany us.

However, it is just me and my siblings today.

And we’re targeting the biggest prey we can hunt right now, the killer bobo.

My back doesn’t feel as secure as it usually does.

I’m nervous but I’m okay.

I trust my siblings as well as my power.

-0-

It was a little scary but we got it.

Killer bobo.

I’m so happy.

-0-

My siblings and I are so excited.

We’re still in the forest but we can’t control our excitement.

-0-

We used floating magic on it just like mother.

We are still a little unsteady on our own so us siblings have to work together.

Now, we only have to go home.

「Hey, did you hear that?」

We all stopped and listened to our surroundings carefully.

No, there’s noth….ah!

That’s definitely a voice, a faint voice.

-0-

We moved closer while hiding ourselves to find out the source of the voice.

The voice seems to have come from outside the barrier.

Enemy? Trap?

Father told us that humans would do anything, even cruel things, so we should be careful.

….is there a possibility of it being a trap?

But we’re basically in the center of the forest….

Listening to the voice, it sounds weak as if the one who’s talking is dying.

My siblings and I looked at each other wondering what to do.

-0-

The voice stopped.

….did it die?

I’ll go check it out and start running.

I hurriedly stopped my siblings from trying to follow me.

I have to leave the barrier alone.

If anything happens to me or if I don’t come back, call mother and father.

I moved in the direction where the voice came from.

-0-

I approached while hiding while trying to find the source of the voice again.

There it is!

I checked the surroundings to see if there’s anything strange.

Still, it’s hard to explore since this place is still under the influence of the evil eye.

This is the first time I’ve had to deal with evil eye so I’m a little confused. To be honest, I’m scared.

However, his lordship’s barrier is nearby.

I don’t need to worry!

I endured my fear.

I was able to confirm that there were no others aside from what I can see.

I can hide if the other party is strong but….I prepared myself to show up to the other party.

Ah….ehto, what should I do?

Did the other party die after seeing me?

….areh? Still alive?
