Chapter 107 – [Porter] The Magic of Turning a Human Into a Dog
No, I don’t really want to go.
Seria, who was investigating the half-collapsed house, must have thought it was a very good idea, and persuaded the hero next to her with a smirk.
Our foolish warrior fell for her words again.
Do you believe me even when you doubt me?
How stupid are you going to be…
She gave me her signal as Seria walked out after she had finished talking.
Means you have something to say.
“You can’t use the bathroom here, can you?”
“Hmm… I think it would be better if you just leave.”
“Then I’ll be gone for a while.”
I followed Seria with the excuse of going to the bathroom in moderation.
Okay, let’s hear what you have to say.
“Eric intends to spy on us.”
“What?”
As soon as she saw my face, Seria said that without hesitation.
This year, you have good timing.
Before I could say anything, I hit the player first.
If this is the case, I’m curious and I can’t help but listen.
I obediently handed over the initiative of her conversation to her.
After all, she’s like a fish she’s already caught.
It’s not the stage to be punished for trivial things now.
“I heard from Uni the other day, and she said that you can share your five senses with spirits. Then Eric, who borrows that power, will be able to do the same thing, and Eric seems to be suspicious of the relationship between Master and Arin these days…”
“Are you going to secretly check this opportunity?”
“Yes, maybe…”
Hmm, for some reason, I thought it would go smoothly, but was there such an intention behind it?
For a hero, she shook her head quite a bit.
Even if Seria didn’t know beforehand, she would have been beaten by him as she was.
“So, why do I have to catch the dog?”
“Ah, I think you’d prefer to go with us… Sin, sorry!”
Seria was restless and lowered her head.
In fact, she wasn’t particularly wrong in her opinion.
It’s much better to go out with the two of you than to be with Yuni or Hero, whom you haven’t touched yet.
Maybe if I hadn’t seen that dog, I wouldn’t have judged that way either.
I don’t want to fight a muscle mass monster like that…
“Gwa, it’s okay! I’ll take care of everything, master stay behind!”
“Are you missing? Are you saying I’m a worthless bastard?”
“Ah, ah… I don’t mean that… Sorry!”
Feeling heartbroken for no reason, I came back from teasing Seria.
Yes, the two of them will figure out what to fight anyway.
This isn’t my specialty.
Taking that fact as comfort, I took part in a full-scale search.
***
“Look in the direction. As I said before, this guy is going somewhere without any hesitation. That he has a destination somewhere.”
Actually I don’t know.
It’s because I’m just spitting out something reasonably plausible.
Tracked by footprints?
I’m not a hunter, so how can I know such a professional skill?
However, since the hero would be listening to this conversation in the dark, he was just pretending to be working.
“Wow, that’s right.”
Arin seemed innocently admiring it without knowing that fact.
Well, what does this bitch know who has only read books in the church?
It’s not that her brain is bad, but perhaps because of her lack of social experience, Arin was easily fooled if she made up a plausible statement.
Even if she has doubts, if she pushes hard, she’s at a loss and eventually accepts it.
She did it the first time she ordered a striptease, and she did it the same way she punished her.
She was probably more like a masochist by nature, but it was undeniably true that she was naive in her nature and weak to her seduction.
After, I have to bake more at this time.
Thinking that the damn hero is secretly listening makes me cautious.
“So someone is keeping the dog?”
“Um…”
I don’t know, don’t ask.
The reason we’re doing this shit right now is because the old mother of a man named John who was supposedly kidnapped last was being too loud.
It’s probably the same person as John the kid was talking about.
I don’t care about the opinion of a kid, but I thought that if I found a body, I would bury it well.
Well, I’m not completely trash either.
Sometimes you have to do good things to build up enough virtue to do worse things.
I inadvertently looked back to ask Seria’s advice on this.
Squeak.
She was masturbating without Arin’s knowledge, with her skirt down.
“…”
That’s right, he’s busy.
“Oh, Seria might know something…”
“What! You can see that too! Would you like to see this?”
I pulled Arin’s gaze back toward mine as she tried to return her gaze to Seria.
After that, who is the master at this point?
I allowed it, but it was a very funny scene.
The spirit’s eyesight that Eric was using now was basically not much different from a human’s.
Didn’t I just say that I can’t make detailed distinctions like humans? He didn’t quite understand it, but accepted it as if it were different.
That vision, of course, was borrowed from the spirit next to us, who is diligently searching for traces even though we can’t see it.
Suwook!
In line with our steps, the dog’s tracks rose slowly upwards.
In fact, to be exact, it’s the opposite.
We are walking along the traces rising upward.
How could the three of us, who had never done a search before, find the dog that had run away?
Of course, I have no choice but to use the Earth Spirit to find traces instead.
It was clear that the hero would keep a spirit next to us for a plausible cause, and then share sight and hearing to keep an eye on us.
There, Seria said that she would draw attention instead.
When I asked her what she was going to do, the absurd reply was that she would attract attention by masturbating.
However, when she thought about it, she really gave her permission with a smile because she was a Seria-like answer.
At first glance, it seemed that he was seriously challenging the hero enslavement plan he talked about the other day.
Cheering her on, I refocused her mind in front of her and timed her.
The interval at which traces are found is getting longer than before.
The Spirit is not doing its job.
And that’s probably because the hero is doing something else with the spirit.
Seria seemed to be doing well.
“… Anyway, priest.”
“Yes yes?”
I cautiously addressed her to her.
“Underwear… You’re not wearing it.”
“Hick…”
She flinched like someone caught doing something bad and blushed slightly on her cheek.
Look what you like to be caught.
It is already more like a pervert than a priest.
“Do you want to be punished again? Why so…”
“I’m sorry…”
Of course, the expression on his face is not an apologetic one at all.
He secretly looks at me, his expression as if he’s trying to figure out whether or not I’ll punish him with this.
I said with a serious expression.
“We will talk about this later. I have to focus on work now.”
“… Yes.”
Arin replied with a somewhat regretful expression.
After walking further, we finally succeeded in encountering the black dog.
What, destination? Master?
She didn’t see anything like that and was just sitting on the floor by herself.
“My, Mr. Jeren… That’s that…”
“Probably right.”
Anyway, it’s filthy big.
It’s just like the one I saw before.
Even though I was lying down, I shuddered slightly at the pressure that was transmitted.
Damn… Why are you so nervous
“First of all, Seria…”
Flash!
The moment Arin was about to call Seria, the dog opened her eyes.
“Hey… !”
Arin panicked and she backed away involuntarily, which seemed to provoke the dog.
Dada dot!
The dog showed hostility and started charging at me in an instant.
Crazy!
I hurriedly pushed her away and I dodged to her side.
“Be careful!”
“Kyaa!”
Cooong!
“Lord, Master… !”
Seria panicked and called me out loud.
What an idiot! What if I call you by that name?
“Uh, um… ?”
Arin put on a puzzled expression, but the situation was so urgent that she had no time to take issue with Seria’s words.
The raised mound of dirt that had been marked by a dog collapsed in an instant.
Has the spirit disappeared… ?
“Dare!”
Ceria bit her lip and pointed her staff at the dog.
“Kreur…”
The dog turned her head toward Seria, who was hostile towards him, and barked menacingly.
It was more scary than I thought because her body was the size of a person.
“Dare… Something like this dog… !”
Seria chanted her incantation with a fierce expression as if her anger would flow from her eyes.
Tadada dat!
Her dog started running towards her again.
Do you think it will be late?
I quickly took out my staff and aimed it at the dog.
“Me, purification!”
But before Seria and I could finish our orders, Arin hurriedly shouted,
“Key, Kireureuk… !”
Shiver.
After her brief prayer, the dog’s body began to melt.
“What, what?”
“Also… ! This is a curse!”
When Arin saw the result she had caused, she jumped up as if she was surprised as well.
“I was wondering if it was black… ! It’s a curse that forcibly transforms the opponent’s appearance! It is the sorcery of the evil cultists!”
“Ki-ing… Whimper… Ah, ugh…”
Jeruk, jruk.
The dog’s body was melting to the extent that its bones could be seen.
Curiously, the dog’s bones are not white, but flesh-colored…
“Uh?”
“Oh?”
The two women groaned.
“What.”
No, it’s three now.
The three of us stood there frozen as ice, staring at something between the dogs.
The true identity of a dog that was as huge as a person.
It was none other than a real person.
“… Uh?”
Arin lost her words and blinked her eyes.
The man, who looked like a man, lay passed out over a puddle of melted dog water.
“… It is dead.”
Seria mustered up the courage to approach him and check whether she was alive or dead.
“Lord, are you dead?”
Arin panicked and looked back and forth between the corpse and Seria.
“Huh. The shape remains, but the skin is soft? The purification performance is good, Arin. It melts even the people inside.”
“Yes… ? Uh, that can’t be…”
When Seria quietly sarcastic, Arin approached her in surprise.
I sneaked up and looked at it, but the human skin was as soft as a snake’s skin.
“It drips and flows like when a dog dies? Isn’t this because of your purification or something?”
“No! It has no effect on humans!”
Arin was outraged by Seria’s words, but she also seemed embarrassed that a person had melted this far.
“Eh, what is this… It seems to be under a terrible curse.”
And the conclusion she came to was that the man was cursed with something even when he was human.
She wondered if she was just trying to excuse her mistakes, but here she knew no one better about this curse than she did.
“I think that maybe his body was cursed to turn into a monster. This person must be John. He had people who had seen him until today, so maybe he kept going back and forth between man and monster… I want to.”
Arin looked down at him with pitiful eyes.
Hmm, so it doesn’t mean that the man who was said to have been kidnapped by the dog was actually the culprit.
What the heck, nothing special
There seems to be something more intertwined, but that’s not my role, anyway, the dog is caught, so the goal is achieved.
Yes?
“… However.”
Arin looked at the corpse for a moment and then moved his gaze to us.
“Don’t you have something to tell me?”
Seria winced and her body trembled.
