Chapter 74

Golden eyes …….

Silver animal hair …….

Even though they are all in the dark, I can clearly see the colors.

No, it was dimly shining overall.

When I look back, I reflexively understand.

This guy … This is a cat.

But it was too big to be a cat.

The hind limbs are placed on the roof of a two-story building, and the claws on the forelimbs are half-fitted into the wall of the attached building. A sharp fang was shining in the slowly open mouth.

Wrinkles are carved between the eyes that stare at me.

It looked more like a giant spider than a cat.

“match…………”

When I was hunting, I said that I saw a C-rank monster, but the pressure that pierces my chest is more than that.

I can’t move because of fear as if my head and shoulders were pressed down.

My throat was so tense that it seemed to be strangled even though it wasn’t touched.

“Wuuuuuuuuuuuu …”

I hear a low growl.

I found myself on the alert. Perhaps it’s trying to tell if I’m an enemy or an ally.

Even so, it’s a beast that I’ve never seen in a picture book in a mansion.

Right now, I was about to be killed, but in a nutshell, it was a very beautiful wolf.

The problem is how such a big wolf was hiding in a busy city, but I don’t have time to think about it now.

Certainly the beast is still confused when it sees me.

If it understands that there is no hostility, it may not chase after it.

I slowly step back.

I can’t take my eyes off it. The moment I cut it, the horror will attack me-rather, my eyes are attracted to the golden eyes like an evil eye.

Even if I go back, I can only rely on the feel of my feet.

Fortunately the alley is straight. The distance to the corner where I can escape is less than 100 feet. I can go.

Gacha …

Everyday sounds echo in the current tense atmosphere.

The back door of the house where the wolf was stuck opened suddenly. It wasn’t the guards, much less the cavalry that came out.

He was a little boy.

He rubs his sleepy eyes and tries to go to the bathroom outside. From the other side of the door, I heard a voice that seemed to be his mother.

It’s a common sight in the city.

However, the everyday scene was about to become an extraordinary scene.

“No! Don’t come out !!”

I raise my voice.

At that moment, the faces of the wolf and the child turned to me at the same time.

The big wolf sighs, “Hmm!”

The moment I landed lightly, it ran toward me.

“Wow! !! “

It barks.

If I hurry and run away.

Actually, I was aiming properly.

And reach for the bottle that was hanging on my waist. I threw it at the wolf.

When I hit the big wolf, the smoke spread. It’s not just smoke. It is a mischievous bomb specially made by Zelet, which is a mixture of homura grass, chatter grass, and pepper.

Inhaling powdered Homura grass causes a burning throat, and when powdered, chattering grass also causes severe pain in the tongue. Pepper was like a bonus.

The symptoms are relieved immediately, but the pain I feel for a moment is quite sharp.

Cheryl, who fell asleep with deep sake, was the one who got up with tears.

“How is it!”

I stare at the smoke with a doy face.

The expression doesn’t last long.

I could see the shadow of a big wolf running from the other side of the smoke without slowing down.

I hit a turnaround.

“Who wrote that it was a cat ?! Isn’t it a wolf, not a cat !?”

I know this is a lion, but I haven’t heard of a wolf-and a new kind of wolf.

Right now I have no choice but to run, but anyone knows whether a wolf or a child can run faster.

When I was caught up quickly, I was just thrown away. When it leans forward, it can press my back with its forelimbs.

heavy…….

I can not breathe.

Next to the ups and downs, the wolf is whistling.

It approached my nose and started licking my body.

Even though it’s such a time, I’m laughing. I’m about to laugh and die …

Unpalatable…….

You can eat it as it is.

If I have the power at such a time.

That’s right. I’m 10 years old now.

I can go to the temple and receive skills from there.

In fact, the children in the neighborhood have already received it.

It’s bad that Cheryl gets tired and doesn’t take me to the temple.

Ah……. I was getting angry when I thought about it as I was about to die.

It’s scary, tickling, and angry …

Today is a very busy day.

It’s all because of Cheryl.

Already…….

“Cheryl’s idiot ahhhhhhh !!”

At the end, I put all my strength into it and exhaled my thoughts.

Good grief…….

I heard a voice.

Immediately after hearing something like a wind noise, something broke through the darkness.

At that moment, the wolf holding me backed away with a terrifyingly agile movement.

It exposed its alertness again and made its golden eyes shine in the darkness.

What I saw was a woman in casual wear that was so rough that I couldn’t believe it was against a wolf.

In her hand was a spirally bored iron rod.

“Here and there. Parents aren’t stupid, Zelet.”

“You’re late to come …”

I stand up while swaying halfway.

“A kid who doesn’t lose his mouth.”

“It’s a gift of parental education.”

“I don’t remember growing up that way … well, leave it for the time being.”

Cheryl points the stick at the wolf.

“My child has taken care of me. This time I’ll deal with him, so I coming.”

Provoke towards the wolf.

When I first saw that wolf, I couldn’t even move my lips.

But instead of being afraid, Cheryl is provoking.

If this was enough for an S-class hunter, I couldn’t help but be afraid of it.

The appearance of the wolf was strange against Cheryl’s margin.

I stuck out its tongue and felt more breathless than before.

Is Cheryl’s pressure so great? Or is there something wrong with the physical condition? If I look closely, the hair is not glossy. The golden eyes also seemed to have faded from the first time I saw them.

“Wow! !!”

Finally the big wolf howls.

When he jumped in, he was ready, but the wolf showed his tail and ran away.

As it is, it is lost in the darkness of the city.

The pressure I always felt was gone, and I exhaled without collecting.

“Cheryl, why didn’t you chase?”

“Ah? Why?”

Not knowing what I’m saying, Cheryl tilts her head.

“I’m late for you, so I just followed that magical power.”

She points to the amulet hanging on my neck.

What, that’s right.

I wondered if Cheryl had changed her mind and came looking for the cat.

“That’s it! That’s the cat I requested!”

“The cat you requested? Oh! You took out the request form without permission.”

Uh … Cat’s out of the bag.

“I wonder if I can do more than look for a lost cat …”

“Then, maybe I’ll review Zelet? ‘I’m Zelet-sama’ ?”

What is that? It’s really unpleasant, but mainly Cheryl’s face.

Then Cheryl hit my head.

“Hey, Zelet. I’m still an S-class hunter. You’ll soon see that the request isn’t like looking for a lost cat.”

Uh … Well, surely …

“Cat is a jargon used by hunters. In this case, it means that a monster has entered the city.”

“Well, monsters in the city !! But there are walls in the city, and even guards are standing. You should be able to find them soon, right?”

It is not uncommon for monsters to enter the city.

It may be a sky salmon during the spawning season, or a wyvern may suddenly descend from the sky and kidnap a person.

The problem is using a hunter, they have to find it. It means that a monster is hiding in the city.

“But it’s more troublesome than I expected.”

“What do you mean, Cheryl?”

“That’s not a lost cat”

“I heard. Is it a monster?”

“That’s not the case.”

Cheryl grins and makes fun of me.

“Don’t waste it”

“To be clear, Zelet. I’m not sure, but — hah …”

After a big sigh, Cheryl took a break and smoked.

“I can’t help it. Would you like to go to Gangel …”

She said with a sigh again.
