A great presence approachedn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“Mr. Takumi! It-it’s coming closer!”
“Huh!? Uh, what should… Will it chase after us if it sees our backs?”
“I don’t know… At the very least, I can sense that it does not want us to get away.”
Ms. Delia was shaking even more now.
I continued to move back very slowly. Next to me, Phillip looked quite pale.
“If we can’t escape… Uh, what should we do? I could deal with an orc, but this is clearly different.”
“Yes, it must be a large monster, like a troll…”
Trolls would be very difficult for a human to fight… Even Ms. Delia, who could easily deal with orcs and the Audhumbla, was scared.
It was clearly very dangerous.“…If it does attack, I will try to distract it. I do not know what we are facing, but I am still a guard of the duke. I can at least give you time to escape, Mr. Takumi.”
“But then you, Phillip…”
“I am a guard. It is my job to do this. Besides, I would feel bad for Lady Claire if anything were to happen to you. Besides, even if I get injured, you can use the Loe to heal me.”
I understood that he felt it was his job, but…perhaps he also thought that I would not be that useful in a fight.
Also, there was Ms. Delia.
Perhaps we should escape in order to keep her safe as well.
Even if it meant sacrificing Phillip…
“…There is no time to talk.”
“Mr-Mr. Takumi!”
Just then, the powerful presence showed itself from the other side of the hill.
“…A fenrir.”
“…”
The familiar figure had white fur and was about the size of a horse.
However, unlike the fenrirs we knew, this one was not very relaxed. And it looked at us with shark eyes, and its fur seemed to be standing up.
“Still, it is just glaring at us, and not coming any close?”
“Perhaps it is waiting to see what we will do. A fenrir could pass this gap in an instant. Mr. Takumi, as I said earlier…”
“Wait.”
“Mr. Takumi?”
Not only did it not attack, but it sat down and continued to stare.
This was definitely not what I was expecting.
“Is that fenrir looking at me? No, Ms. Delia?”
“M-me-me?”
“…It is not looking at me at all. So it must be Mr. Takumi or Ms. Delia.”
“Phillip, please was Ms. Delia for me.”
“M-Mr. Takumi!?”
“Very well…”
As I moved away, the fenrir’s gaze…
“Yes, it is looking at me after all. Hmm…”
“Mr. Takumi. You seem very calm now?”
“Well, if this is what I think it is, then there is no danger.”
I was starting to feel that it was not hostile. And that made me more calm.
Of course, I still stayed on my guard, as I did not want to put the other two in danger.
