Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 227

 

Shadow of One's Mind



In the deep forest


We hold our breath


We strain our bodies to never make a sound


The ground shakes slightly


The shaking gradually increases


We hear the sound of trees breaking from the planned direction


We cannot see it, but we can hear its cries


"Guooohh!"


A monster, much larger than a man, cries out and advances.


Its entire body is pierced with spears and arrows.


Behind it, our comrades are running after it.


"Now! Pull!!"


At the captain's signal, my comrades who had been hiding on both sides pulled the ropes.


As they do so, a huge net appears before the monster's eyes.


"Ready!"


The front row supports us with their great shield of steel


The men behind them thrust their spears through the gaps in the shield.


And those behind them will hold them up.


"Gyeee!"


The nets slow it down.


The shield prevents it from rushing forward.


It was stabbed all over with spears


"Hold!"


Our legs sink into the soft ground peculiar to the forest.


The soil was gouged out and our footprints were stretched into long, thin lines.


It was only a moment, but it felt like a very long time.


Everyone else felt the same way, and when they saw that the monster had ceased to breathe, they let out a sigh that echoed through the forest.


"Subjugation complete! No injuries! Let's go back to town!"


Still, no one complains and heads back.


That is the daily life of this town


The city that makes wings


The city ​​that controls the wind


The city ​​surrounded by mountains


The city protected by a dragon


The city called Kadaza, which has many names, and it's just another day in the life of this city.


"Everyone rejoice! Actually, I kept it a secret, but I received something from Shiro-sama. Do you know what it is?"


No one answered.


Of course, I don't know


"It's liquor! He gave me something in a new type of storage container! It's chilled, and it's strong!"


"Captain!"


"Don't panic! I've got enough for everyone! We'll all drink it when we get back!"


The men are cheering.


I also cheer loudly with them


This is it


With this reward, no one will complain.


Quality of weapons


Detailed information


Fine dwelling


Delicate clothing


Fine food


Good wine


My body aches every day, but these are the best days of my life.


A few years ago, a group of young women came to settle here.


Some of them got married and had children.


It's a great town.


Yes, it's the best town with no inconvenience


But I have one worry


"Ah, welcome home."


I've found someone I love.


"I'm home"


A happy life with her


That's why a shadow falls over it.


"The water's boiling."


"Yes, thank you"


Her big ears and tail wag.


She's not a human, she's a fox person.


It can be said that physical contact with her is contraindicated.


If she gives birth to a mixed one, I'm sure I'll make her and her child unhappy.


For me it is.


I was so worried that I couldn't help it.
