Chapter 37 – 037 Crescent Moon Rock
Dig out!
The emergency rations, which hovered in the sky and watched the whole process, quickly flew to Hwanin as soon as the surroundings fell silent.
Quack!
And after landing on the bedside of Hwanin, who was lying on his back, he flapped his wings, telling him to get up quickly.
Did you fall asleep because you were tired? But this is a monster town. Having learned that it is dangerous to stay like this, the emergency food rubbed his head on Hwanin’s cheek and urged him to get up quickly.
Quack, Quack!
In the end, I try to pull the hair and ear lobe with my beak and even slap Hwanin’s face with my wingtips…….
Quack…….
Seeing Hwanin motionless, the emergency food recalled a memory and let out a sad cry.
Even when my mother and younger siblings died, I didn’t move like this.
No matter how much I tried to get up next to him, he wouldn’t budge.
After watching her mother and younger siblings get eaten by the beasts that came to her, she learned the concept of death…….
Quite a bit…….
I realized that a friend who was always reliable, a good friend who always took care of delicious food and punished bad guys, lost his life after defeating countless monsters and even defeating the king of monsters.
The first impression was the worst, but now I thought they were best friends…….
Emergency rations rubbed his head against his cheek as he looked at his fallen friend with sad eyes.
My heart hurts so much that I feel like crying.
=Uh, benefactor?=
Then, belatedly noticing that someone was approaching, it spread its wings wide as if in surprise.
Queueek!
It threatens by standing up to its tail feathers so that it does not approach. However, things that look like friends run and surround the dead friend regardless of such threats.
The emergency food that flew up like a push began to stare at the bald monster that surrounded his friend with angry eyes.
= Hee! What is this? A lump of charcoal…… Monster?=
=Could this and those benefactors kill all of them?=
= I don’t know. I feel bad, so let’s get rid of this!=
Perseok.
= Older sister……. My benefactor’s body is as cold as ice, what should I do?
=First of all, I have to move the benefactor into the cave. Guys, help me.=
Pretty much!!
In the end, the four monsters were going to take their dead friend, and the emergency food, angry enough to turn the tail, attacked the monsters.
Bixiangsik, who descended swiftly, grabbed the hair of the two smallest monsters with his claws, pecked at their heads, and slapped their shoulders and faces, which looked weak compared to their friends, with their wings.
Cackle! Queueek!
= Wow! What is this!?=
= Ouch! Ouch!=
But the attack is short-lived. One of the other two monsters tried to catch him, so he quickly fled into the sky.
=It hurts.=
= Ugh. Bleeding …… Uh? Isn’t that new Que?=
= Right. I’m new to seeing green. It must be Eunin-nim’s pet.=
=…… I think I’m really angry.=
=Didn’t you think we were trying to harm your benefactor?=
= Guys, stop talking. Huini, bring all of the benefactor’s canes over there. Ennel catches Que as she approaches, and Ephnis helps her sister carry her benefactor on her back. =
=Yes!=
=Yes.=
=Okay.=
Are you going to eat my friend?
Emergency food was so angry that it brought tears to my eyes. If I were as big as my mother, I would have pecked all those things to death with my beak!
As for the emergency rations, I circled the sky restlessly at the sight of bald monsters taking their friend to the cave with their backs showing…….
Quack!
It shot down the head of the biggest bald monster carrying a friend on its back.
Although the claws were not as sharp as his friend’s weapon, he intended to scratch his neck like he did.
= Got it!=
Heck… ?!
But alas, I thought it was a trap.
A bald monster turned around and snatched it as if it had been waiting for it to attack, but the timing was so exquisite that the emergency rations didn’t even have time to flap its wings to escape.
Thinking that the emergency food was better, I relaxed.
Her mother is dead, and the friend she was meant to be with for the rest of her life is also dead.
It’s not bad to follow your friend like this.
= Huh? Sister, he is so calm.=
=Kue is smart. In a little while, you’ll know that we’re not trying to hurt you. When that time comes, let go.=
=Yes.=
How do I die As emergency food was dragged into a dark cave, he imagined how he would die.
Am I being grilled over a fire like the meat my friend used to cook? Or will it be cut into small pieces and dried slowly in the sun?
I wish I could die without pain.
In the scene where bald monsters brought wood chips, piled them up, and skillfully lit a fire, Emergency Food intuition felt how they would die.
I’m going to die in a fire
The emergency rations, which were held so tightly that not even a single wing feather could move, widened their eyes at the scene where the two bald monsters began to take off their friend’s skin (clothes).
Do I not bake?
The bald monsters, who had completely skinned their friends, laid them on their side and laid them on their backs.
= Huini. Will you cover me with animal skins and listen to see who’s coming from outside?=
=Yes.=
=Put the ennel in the coo and watch it so that the fire doesn’t go out.=
=Yes.=
The emergency food that was freed from the bald monster’s hand tilted its head in bewilderment.
Why am I letting go? And what is it doing?
…… Share body temperature?
The memory of spending a warm night huddled together under her mother’s wings with her younger siblings when the cold night came. Recalling that, the emergency rations looked at the bald monsters again.
=Eight.=
Alright, shit. Kwajik.
The small bald monster of the Buddha was splitting a tree in length, and the bald monster at the entrance was paying attention to the outside.
The other two were clinging to their friend’s body with their large, wide hides pulled up to their necks.
= It’s cold…….=
= Epnis. Do it like this. You have to rub the skin to help the temperature rise.=
=Yes.=
Are these monsters good monsters?
Emergency rations, which had been pacing around, turned around at the strange sound of jjong jjong jjong jjong.
The biggest bald monster was making strange sounds and beckoning towards it.
My friend called me with a gesture like that…….
Pretending to be tricked, as he drew closer, the bald monster lifted himself up and made room for him to cling to his friend’s neck.
Emergency rations remembered that something similar had happened a long time ago.
Even then, the friend had a great fight with the monsters and was injured.
After that, I returned to the nest and the collapsed friend couldn’t come to my senses no matter how much I called. Then the friend who opened his eyes hugged him in his arms and closed his eyes again.
Maybe these bald monsters are trying to wake up their friends, not eat them.
Stare at the biggest bald monster. A face that resembles a friend’s is strangely distorted, and he reaches out to stroke himself.
Quack!
The emergency rations, which pecked the back of his hand asking where he was touching them, crouched close to his friend’s neck like bald monsters.
So that your own body temperature is passed on to your friends.
‘…… Cold.’
Hwanin, who barely came to his senses when he felt something stroke his chest, shuddered slightly without even opening his eyes.
It is a chill like being thrown naked on the arctic ice in midwinter.
My heart seems to stop.
Quack… ! Cackle…… !
The cry of emergency food echoes faintly in my ears.
Hwanin wiggled his fingers while his consciousness was hazy. Feeling the warmth of a person’s skin entwining with your fingers and melting your frozen hands, give more strength to grab the fluffy thing.
Hwanin, realizing that not only his hands but also the hot skin on the front and back of his body, stretched out his arms and embraced the warmth in his arms.
The soft, warm skin and contact area increased, but the severe cold that occupied the inside of the body did not intend to retreat.
= Benefactor…… Mental…… Hard…… ?=
=…… Can’t straight…… Unconscious…….=
I tried to open my eyes to the sound of words ringing in my ears, but my eyelids didn’t move as if they were frozen. But is it because I started recognizing external stimuli? Consciousness was gradually becoming clearer.
The hazy consciousness like a dream becomes clearer, and the resounding sound becomes clearer.
= Um~? Hmm. But Eunin-nim, you look amazing. Her ears are short to be called Fleur, and she is too tall to be called Selfin Proud.
= Aren’t we the same people? I think I heard that the light-blooded people are similar.=
=You don’t have a tail?=
=…….=
The voices of the two girls go back and forth before stopping. After a moment of silence, Hwanin heard a familiar voice coming from inside his arms.
= Ennel. Did you see any alcohol inside?=
= There was…… I think it was I’ll go and see.=
= Huini should go with you. If you have meat that is not spoiled, bring it.=
=Yes!=
A slightly echoing voice, the crackling of firewood. Although Hwanin couldn’t open his eyes, he roughly noticed how the situation was going just by hearing the sound.
‘Here is…… Is it a cave under the hill?’
The women who were held captive by the monsters must have led them to hide again in the cave.
It must be that the women who were surprised by the low body temperature were warming them up with their bodies.
The greatsword monster was alive until it passed out, but I wonder what happened to it.
Since he is alive, it must mean that the monster is dead…… Did he run amok like a berserker while he was unconscious?
Then my whole body started to throb. Even in a state where the senses are dulled by chills, this level of pain is a pain that makes you wonder if you have suffered a whole body muscle pain, a whole body bruise, and a whole body fracture.
Quack…….
Just when you wonder if you’ve been hurt by the helpless cries of emergency food, the voices of the girls echo through the cave along with the sound of footsteps.
= Ryuhi unnie, I brought it. There was also =
=The meat was still intact!=
= I’m glad Grill the meat you brought and give it a drink.=
A cologne followed by a cologne, a woman’s voice with a cough.
=It’s a fruit wine made from fermented Senpi fruit. It’s a bit toxic, but it’s rather good.=
A rustling sound is heard for a moment, and the body temperature in the arms leaves. As the warmth disappeared, Hwanin felt the upper body lift while the chill felt more intense.
Then, a soft, soft texture supports the back of her head. Hwanin immediately noticed that the back of her head was a breast.
The hard wood texture touched his lips, and the excessively aged and burdensome smell of alcohol pierced his nostrils. And flowing liquid.
=Ah, everything flows.=
=Um.=
This time, a soft touch touched his lips. The moment he realized what he was about to do, his soft, moist tongue came in, opened his lips, and alcohol flowed through the gap.
Did you drink about seven sips of alcohol that was passed from mouth to mouth? My stomach rumbles and a slight heat rises.
Thanks to the heat and stimulation, Hwanin barely managed to open his eyes.
“…….”
=Oh, you opened your eyes!=
= I’m glad…….=
Now, the two girls, who look to be 15 or 16 years old, exhale for a long time with faces that are half sad and half relieved.
Quack! Cackle!
Seeing the emergency rations on his lap flapping more passionately than usual, Hwanin reached out with difficulty and stroked his head.
“…… Everyone, are you okay?”
It’s a little cracked, but the voice comes out well. Since she thinks the power of alcohol is great, the woman with Jindo dog ears supporting her back answered.
=Yes. I’m safe because my benefactor killed all the monsters in the cave. I’m glad Eun-in came to her senses too…….=
“…… !”
As she supported the floor with her two arms and tried to raise her upper body, an excruciating pain pierced her spine.
Enduring the pain and staggering to stand up, a woman with ears of a Jindo dog and a woman with ears folded like a retriever support her from left and right.
Thanks to that, Hwanin stood up more comfortably and said to the women.
“It’s not safe here. To move right away…… ! Huuk, let’s move.”
=We are fine, but it is unreasonable to move with Eun-in-nim’s physical condition!=
“If you add all the monsters that escaped alive, there will be more than ten. I don’t know how long it’s been, but the monsters can come back at night…… ! … It is important to get out of here.”
The women’s complexions harden at the word that ten monsters will return. And it started moving fast.
A woman with Jindo dog ears gives her instructions.
=Ennel, go and bring the benefactor alcohol as much as you can. Huini brings meat, and Epnis brings something useful out of the weapons over there.
= Uh, huh? What about the meat you’re grilling now?=
“Meat has a lot of places to go from now on. The meat left for the monsters to eat…… It’s hard to see that it’s fine, so let’s throw it away.”
The wolf-eared girl nods her head at the story of Hwanin, who is too cold to even use her soul sight.
=Oh yes!=
= Eunin, I will help you get dressed. =
Even objectively, the woman with Jindo dog ears was pretty enough to become an actress.
Although the other three also look young, they are beautiful girls with different feelings.
‘A woman’s soul…… Is the beauty of the women in this world above average or is it a racial characteristic?’
After getting rid of useless thoughts, Hwan-in put on her clothes, supported by a woman with a Jindo dog, and spoke to the gathered women.
“Thank you. If it weren’t for you guys, I would have been in a dangerous situation.”
=Since you had the mental strength to wake up in such a physical condition, benefactor must have survived somehow. Rather, we should be grateful. Because you killed the monsters before they were all eaten…….=
The mood of the women becomes solemn.
Being eaten Did she have someone to feed her before she came?
Hwanin felt that his thoughts were being disturbed by the pain and spat out the words with difficulty.
“Then…… Let’s set off.”
Leaving the cave, Hwanin exchanged voices with the women.
Her name is Ryuhi, a woman in her early twenties with gray hair on her tail and ears of a Jindo dog.
Her name is Epnis, a woman in her late teens with folded retriever ears, a plain tufted tail, and straw-colored body hair.
The names of the two girls, a year or two younger than Epnis, with wolf ears and tails and brown hair, are Huini and Ennel.
I thought Huini and Ennel had similarities in appearance, but according to Ryuhi, they were fraternal twins.
“My last name is Hwan, and my first name is In. I am Hwanin.”
=Seo, you were a saint…… ?=
Epnis asks, widening her half-closed eyes.
“I don’t know what the Holy Family is.”
= On the continent across the sea, they call the nobles and nobles who have surnames as surnames…… I saw it in the book…….=
I wonder if he knows for sure, his voice becomes low.
‘Awesome. Conversation is also mysterious, but what principle is it that words are translated and understood?’
Hwanin understood that the privileged class was something like an aristocrat when he saw that the high class or the noble family were called, and answered with a difficult shake of his head.
“I am neither a high clan nor a baron.”
= Yes…….=
He didn’t seem to believe it, but Hwanin didn’t care. Rather, it may be because I kept talking and moving my legs, but I got used to the pain little by little and moving became much easier.
As she passed through the passage and came out of the cave, the noon sun stung her eyes.
As he lifts his wrist with difficulty, he sees shattered glass and dented minute and hour hands.
‘This fight broke my watch, broke my smartphone, and lost the blade of a spear……. The damage is terrible.’
It is fortunate that we can infer the current time in that we can know the duration of the soul orb.
“It is over there.”
Pointing in the direction of the Twin Mountains, the women turn in that direction.
At that time, Huini, who was carrying a lot of alcohol in a large, patched-up leather bag like a backpack, wait a minute! He shouted and ran to one side of the clearing.
= Huni?! What are you doing!=
Despite Ennel’s cry, Huini ran and picked up a molar the size of her upper body and ran back.
= This, this. It’s the molar of the holy water. Her dad said The holy beast’s teeth are said to be a material for very good weapons. I brought it because Eunin-nim seemed to have forgotten.
Without knowledge, it is difficult to react to such things.
“Good job.”
However, praise is one of the actions that work well in a dizzy situation. It is Hui who forcibly puts up with her liking.
Turning his gaze to the sky, Hwanin asked the emergency food sitting on his shoulder to be vigilant and entered the forest with the women.
