With Soras breath attack, all signs of the monsters that had been in the area have vanished.

This is troubleso. Were back to square one.

Well, with Soras speed, its not too difficult to track them down.

Hey, Sora. Regulate your mood please.

What are you talking about? Im not mad at all.

So, can you hurry up and fly faster?

No. Im tired. I need to rest.

With a snort, Sora curled up and laid down on the ground. She occasionally slapped her tail against a nearby tree.

Youre completely unreliable, you dragon.

No, I admit that I didnt communicate properly, but I think that we both need to reflect on our actions and cooperate with each other a little more.

I an, youve been changing your character too much lately.

Wheres the dignity you had when we first t?

She is completely sulking. What are you going to do about it, Kudou?

What should I do with her..

I played with the goblins magic stone (large) I had picked up from the center of the crater and thought about how I could fix Soras mood.

Hmm, I didnt really want to use this thod, but I guess I have no choice.

I shook my hood to wake up Shiro, who was sleeping inside.

? Whats up, Kazuto? Food?

No, you ate a lot of hay before we left

I can sll sothing delicious in Kazutos hands.

Hey, listen to .

Shiro swooped down and popped her head out of the hood, trying to sll the goblins magic stone.

You want to eat this?

Yeah, that looks really good.

Then, Ill give you this, and in return you can help convince your mother.

? I dont really get it but, okay?

Shiro used both her paws to take a bite out of the magic stone like a squirrel, and then flew towards Sora, saying, Mom~

Kuun?

Ah, Im sorry, Momo. Ill give you the magic stone I get next ti.

Waow.

Momo was a little disappointed that she couldnt eat the magic stone, but when I called out to her, she rubbed her body against mine and said she was fine.

Shiro is a junior, and Momo is a senior! So theres no problem! Is what she seems to be saying.

Its so cute to see Momo acting like a senior. Yeah, lets fluff her.

Mom, dont trouble Kazuto.

Nuuh! Sh, Shiro-chan. What, you are on Kazutos side?

No no no! We all have to get along!

Guh..Guhuh. Kazuto, you, you are a warrior from the human race that I do not acknowledge. You my child. You should be ashad of yourself!

No, youre the one who should be ashad as a parent for being so easily frustrated and being persuaded by your child.

Gnu, gnu, gnu,!

With an incredibly frustrated expression on her face, Sora picked us up again and started flying.

Good job, Shiro.

Now then, lets go after the monsters that have escaped.

Among the monsters caught in the search, there was one that seed oddly strong.

It was not a monster that was startled by Soras breath and fled.

It was a monster that had left the area before Sora had fired her breath.

Im going to go after it.

huh huh!

How did this happen?

She was running desperately, out of breath.

It was a young woman. She had brown hair and a good figure. She was a beautiful woman, even without makeup, but her face was covered with fear and trepidation.

(It hurts. Its hard to breathe. )

It was a mountain road with poor footing. She must have fallen many tis.

The clothes she was wearing were stained with mud and blood in several places.

But even so, she did not stop running.

That is because if she stops for even a little bit, she will be imdiately eaten alive by the thing.

Ha ha. n, no, I dont want to die.. I dont want to die.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The monster was chasing her.

That monsters appearance could be sumd up in four words: a giant tal lizard.

Its body length alone was nearly three ters, and if you counted its tail, it would be well over five ters.

It had a huge mouth with sharp fangs that could easily swallow a person whole.

And its entire body was covered with shiny tal scales.

A tal lizard.

With its light and supple movents unique to reptiles and its solid tal scales, this monster boasted a strength incomparable to orcs and goblins.

She could feel the thick presence of death behind her.

That sensation seed to prickle her skin. She continued running desperately.

(What was that explosion earlier..?)

I thought it was my lucky day.

While exploring, she found an empty house, and when she looked inside, she found a large amount of untouched food and daily necessities left behind.

There was only a small amount of food left in the base. With this much food, they could last a few more days.

She was thankful to whoever had left this behind.

However, what she was doing was basically stealing, and she felt guilty. But when she thought of her mother and friends waiting for her at the base, she was able to crush that conscience.

She left a note saying Im sorry in case the landlord ca back, and packed her backpack with as much food and dicine as she could find and left the house. She planned to co back here with her friends and take away the remaining supplies. If the owner of the house ca back then, she and her friends would apologize to him.

With this in mind, she was on her way ho when a mysterious explosion occurred.

(This, what the hell?!)

The sound of the explosion ca from far away, but the roar and the mushroom cloud made her feel as if her heart would stop.

She turned to the direction of the explosion and was astonished.

Her occupation was that of a thief.

She knew imdiately who had caused the explosion when she used the Visual Enhancent skill.

Dr, Dragon? Youre kidding, right?

The details were blurry because of the distance, but it is definitely a dragon.

Even from a distance, you can feel its overwhelming presence.

The presence of a powerful creature that made your skin burn.

Its impossible.

How could such a being appear?

(No, I have to hurry and inform everyone.!)

Her body cowered in fear, but she mustered up the strength to run.

But then

?!

Shrrrrrrr..

She decided to return back to the base. And on her way, she encountered a tal Lizard.

From there on, she began to run for her life.

(A little more Just a little more )

Im almost through the forest.

Then Ill be able to reach the base.

It would be safe there, and my friends will be there waiting for .

Those thoughts made her relax for a mont.

That was a terrible mistake.

Ah.

She stumbled over a tree root and lost her balance.

She rolled on the ground several tis and fell on her back.

A dark shadow enveloped her body. Death was looking at her.

Shriiii

No Stop.

The tal Lizard was delighted to finally catch up to its prey.

The very next mont, it opened its big mouth and tried to bite her.

Woof!

For a mont, it thought it heard a dog barking.

The next mont, sothing black crawled from the surroundings and wrapped itself around the tal Lizards entire body.

Eh?! Sha. shiiii?

Sothing black tangled around its entire body like a sli and quickly robbed the tal Lizard of its freedom.

The tal Lizard was confused for a mont, and then it imdiately tried to resist.

But the more it resisted, the more the black thing twisted and gripped the lizards body, like a strong thread that could not be broken.

Wha, what is this, this.

Of course, she had no idea what it was.

It was the first ti she had ever seen such a thing.

Anyway, now is your chance, Satsuki. You need to get out of here.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhh?!

Perhaps noticing her attempt to flee, the tal Lizard roared even louder and struggled harder.

But soon sothing black blocked its mouth and it could not speak.

Hi, hii.

In the midst of confusion and panic, she started running again.

This ti, a Shiba Inu jumped from the bushes and appeared in front of her.

Cute. Its a very cute Shiba Inu.

For so reason, there was a red transparent dumpling on its head.

.Doggo?

Waauwwww!

The Shiba Inu walked past her and headed straight for the tal Lizard.

She was startled by this.

Hey, what are you

She turned her head reflexively.

Then, a surprising scene unfolded before her eyes.

The sa black stuff that she saw earlier was now spilling out from under the Shiba Inus feet.

Whau!

In response to the Shiba Inus shout, the black thing attacked the tal Lizard again.

No, no way

When she saw the scene, she understood.

The black thing had been created by that Shiba Inu.

Okay, good job, Momo.

Then, this ti, soone appeared from under the Shiba Inus feet.

She could not make out his face from the back of his head, but he was probably a young man.

However, he had a fox on his shoulder and a blue lizard on his head or rather, a smaller version of the dragon she had seen earlier.

The man looked incredibly suspicious.

Momo, stay still.

The man then waved his hand to the side.

At the sa ti, the tal Lizards head fell to the ground.

eh?

Just now, what did he do?

In her eyes, it only looked like the tal Lizards head suddenly fell off.

Fresh blood gushed out from the tal Lizards neck, but when the man held up his hand, the blood stopped.

The blood that should have been flowing out suddenly disappeared.

tal Lizards Magic Stone (dium) huh. Momo, you can eat it.

Waw!

Huh? Is that sothing you can eat?

She had fought monsters many tis, but she didnt know that the stone was edible.

Seeing that the Shiba Inu was eating it with relish, I guess it was harmless.

Oh, um.

Oh, um, are you okay?

The man turned towards her.

At last she could see his face. It was surprisingly normal, it was the face of an ordinary young man which could be found anywhere.

Yes, yes. Thank you for your help.

No, it wasnt much. Im glad youre okay.

She was impressed by how humble he was, even though he had the power to easily defeat a monster like that.

She was impressed.

But why did that man look strangely apologetic for a mont?

Um, if you dont mind asking, could you tell your na?

My na is Kudou Kazuto.

Kudou, right. Honestly, thank you very much.

No no, there is no need to thank , um

Oh, thats right. Im sorry, I did not introduce myself to Kudou.

How rude of to ask the other persons na without telling my own.

She lightly brushed the dirt from her clothes and straightened her posture.

My na is Satsuki. Goshogawara Satsuki. Its nice to et you.

huh?

As soon as she said her na, he looked at her in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
