CH 34

Chapter 34 (Prologue): Convenience with legs

“N, n n ~…… afu ~uu~u…… I’m sleepy” 

“Argento, were not you sleeping until a while ago?” 

“I’m short of sleeping about twelve hours, at least with that amount of time, I will not sleepy anymore.”

For some reason, the movement of Neguseo stopped for a while. 

After blowing his nose, he will walk again. Did I say something strange?

Even if I am asleep, Neguseo is still keep my journey on track. It is too ideal to move only when I wake up.

The wind blowing in the meadow is comfortable and it is the perfect weather for a nap. Fortunately, I can sleep a little more.

“N, fu ni ~yu” 

“Are you going to sleep again?” 

“If there is something … Please wake me up …” 

“Wait, Argento” 

“… What is it …??”

As I was called out, I lifted my consciousness I was about to sink. 

I get a little sleepy while listening to the low and calm voice of Neguseo, but if I get to wait, I will have a conversation. 

I am traveling together and I should take communication. Although he is a horse, I can talk with him thanks to translation skills.

“Will you also contract me for blood for me?” 

Although I do not know the intention of Neguseo, I accepted lightly because there is no disadvantage. 

Because the ability is improved, it seems that there are more merits. 

Especially if his physical strength improves, the distance you can advance while I am sleeping will increase greatly. If he gets better from now, I’d rather be happy. 

Lightly biting my fingers and scratching, I dropped blood on the back of Neghese. All you have to do is speak a word.

“Blood contract”

Like Oswald-kun, there is a sense that mutual existence has been connected. 

Unlike Pisces, if you use blood contracts for living things, you will be able to strongly recognize each other’s existence. 

It’s a strange feeling. Somehow, I can understand each other’s physical condition and mood. 

By the way, Oswald-kun is a bit tired but I feel like he is feeling well, so I guess he is doing training as well. he hope to overcome the problematic speed, but that will depend on him.

“HM”

Neguseo did not exaggerate like Oswald. 

Just step on the ground in turn with the four feet so as to ascertain your own condition, release a word, then it is over. 

It was a cool way to catch him.

“Are you satisfied?” 

“Thank you very much,  Argento. I can run faster with this.”

Oh, is that the reason? 

Because I was feeling bad that I do not do anything with the body I got on, I would be happy if he was satisfied. 

After closing the finger’s injury by touching the pain of usual pain, close your eyes. Well, finally this –

“- Argento” 

“Yes, I also get it.”

Burning smell. It also smells the meat burned. 

The range a horse can smell much stronger than a person. The same can be said with vampire as well. The smell we recognize was transmitted to each other right after that. (Blood Contract can shared info)

“What will you do?” 

“It become troublesome”

There are feelings I want to ignore, but if it is a fire or something, that one is bothersome. Let’s check it for a moment. 

Looking around, I can not see flames and smoke. However, there was a black landscape in the direction of a distance. It is a short grass that is in the surroundings, so it is said that it was burned.

“Looks like it seems the burning is over,” 

“Ah, it seems okay to leave it alone” 

“Smoke, Let’s check whether it disappears properly or not because it is dangerous.“ 

“I am going to go ….?” 

“Would you please, Neguseo?” 

“… … I agree with you”

If I go by myself it will probably be awfully frustrating and will leave but he have legs that can walk, so the way out is not a pain. 

Neguseo walked towards there, blowing a big nose like a human sighter. 

I would rather say it that only because I do not like it. People who are easy to flush, not horses. 

If he is a human being with this, he will be shed by my request and will finally feed me. Sorry he is not human.

“Argento, are not you thinking strange things?” 

“I thought that Neguse was a good horse.” 

“Hmm, is that so?”

Yeah, that’s pretty frustrating. 

He is shaken for a while on the back, Neguseo who is unnatural or accelerates his feet, and arrives at the scene. 

The first thing I thought was “Beautiful”. 

In the area where it is understood that the flowers that did not know the name burned, the traces of combustion disappeared at a certain position. Flowers that are not burning, not to mention grassy edge, have no impression of being thirsty. 

For example, it seems to have covered only the part and burned. A state that only a certain range is burning and the rest is safe.

“… … Is it a strange way of burning?” 

“It might be due to some kind of magic” 

“Do you understand that kind of thing?” 

“You are insensitive” 

“To be sure, I am dull in the dullness and I’m like a synonym of lazy people”

“I have not said that!”

I got off from Negseo and stepped into the burned point. 

If I concentrate my consciousness, I felt my skin tinged. It looks like a sun tanning, it feels calm.

… … Magical residue?

Is this the feeling that Neguseo feels? 

I thought about asking, but Neguseo was eating grass that was not burning. if you interrupt the meal, it is bad. I’m better leave him alone.

…… Is the cause of smell like meat burning, is this?

There were several charcoals shaped like people in the burn mark.Probably, it was originally a living thing. 

Although it is collapsing, it can be determined that there are limbs. Face bones are close to dogs. I wonder if I should say it as a human wolf? 

It is similar to the Kobolt I saw in the forest, but the Koboldt was as tall as my waist. In front of  me is a bigger corpse. It is about a little smaller than an adult man. 

Something similar to a man was burned entirely, leaving only the shape of a dimly skeleton. It collapses each time it blows in the wind A corpse. It can be seen from the fact that it was burned with considerably strong fire power.

“Hmm……”

I feel a beast smell in the burning smell. It is not of charcoal in front of my eyes. It’s more fresh, or more fresh. 

If I concentrate a bit more on smell, I may find something –

“N nya?”

The moment when I felt the burning smell strongly, the flames hit me directly.
