Water Spirit King and Flaming Knights

Merdie’s Side

“Merdie, are you alright?”

“Haa, Haa, I, I’m at my limit , meow…”

We are desperately running away from the approaching flames. I’m a cat-form beastman, so my stamina isn’t that high.

I don’t like it when people say that I’m too similar to a cat, so I try not to add “meow” at the end of whatever I’m saying, but in an emergency, I can’t help this old habit.

“I’ll try to do something about the flames, so please run away, Merdie!”

Leaffa suddenly stopped and faced the blazing inferno.

“Leaffa, it’s no use , meow!! Run, meow!!!!”

I grabbed Leaffa’s arm and tried to pull her, but she won’t budge. Leaffa started to gather magic.

“Wind Wall!”

She cast a protective wind barrier, and somehow, the raging fire stopped coming towards us, but because the wind fanned it, the flames rose up higher.

“AHHHHH!!! What are you doing, meow!!! Leaffa’s magic can’t erase fire, meow!!!”

“I, I know that!! Now’s the time!! Merdie, run!!”

“What will Leaffa do, meow!??”

“I’ll stay here and try to stop the fire. I already blew the whistle, so I think Professor Tina is on her way!”

“There’s no way you can stop an inferno like this, meow!!!”

“It’s all my fault, so I’ll try to do something about this. I need to protect Merdie no matter what!”

“Then let’s run together, meow!!!”

“Merdie, you can’t run anymore, right? That’s why, go, quickly!!”

Th, this gal really has no intention of bowing down!!!

“Ahhh, whatever, I’m sorry, meow!!!!”

“Eh, wha, what ──”

I karate-chopped Leaffa at the back of her neck so she’ll lose consciousness. The stunned Leaffa fell to the ground, so I used all my strength and carried her while running full speed.

“After all of this, you really have to treat me to eat-all-you-can cake, meowwwww!!!”

My physical limit has already been exceeded. I forcibly moved my body with magic. I know I won’t be able to move 2-3 days from now, so I didn’t want to do this, but now I can’t grumble about this, meow!!!

I continued running away with all my might from the intense raging fire that gained momentum due to Leaffa’s magic.

───＊＊＊───

After running for a while, I finally saw someone.

“Eh, Merdie!?”

“Hey, both of you, run away now, meow, fire is coming, meow!!!”

“Eh… T, the forest is burning..”

“Mai, can you control that fire?”

“I can’t! Maybe that’s the fire knight we saw a while back. That flame doesn’t listen to my command at all! Mei, can’t you do something with water magic!?”

“It’s impossible! The whole forest is already on fire. You can’t extinguish that kind of flame unless you bring a Leviathan!”
