“““Wau! Wau! Wau!”””
“Haha, so slow. If you don’t work together properly, you won’t be able to catch me~”
I was running around the forest, dodging and running away from the wolf cubs that pounced on me at breakneck speed.
“Wau!”
“Haha, it’s obvious.”
“Wau!?”
I grabbed the wolf cub by the neck and throw it away.
It had been more than a month since I had come to this forest. I’m now able to speak properly, and let alone stand, I can now fly and jump around.
『As expected of Master, I didn’t expect that you’ll be able to move this much in such a short period of time. 』
Well, this is due to the fact that I am using body strengthening magic. With my bare body, I could run at most, and I wouldn’t be able to continue to dodge the wave attacks of the wolf cubs like this.
I said it is an attack, but in fact, we are just playing. There is a saying, “eating from the same rice pot”, perhaps because we drank the same breast milk, we became close like real brothers from then on. The wolf cubs, who grow faster than me, are already about the size of a large dog. They drink less breast milk and even hunts in the forest.
“Ngug, ngug, ngug”
『……Jeez, as always, you are drinking so much that I can’t believe you are a human baby.』
Thanks to that, I was monopolizing kaa-chan’s boobs more and more by myself. She has a surprised look on her face, but she seems to have gotten used to it, and calmly lets me suck her milk. However, she is actually producing breast milk for her own baby. Unfortunately, perhaps because the babies were no longer drinking breast milk, the milk output is gradually getting weaker.
(Mmm, I think it’s time for me to wean too.)
『Master, if it’s a normal human baby, it should be about half a year old.』
(If I strengthen my stomach with magic, it should be fine.)
I feel guilty for wolf-kaachan but I’m also getting tired of the bland taste of breast milk. As expected, it would be better not to eat raw meat of monsters like the wolf cubs.
Then at that moment,
The mother wolf suddenly stood up and I was shaken off her boobs.
“Uuh- …What’s the matter?”
After landing hurriedly, I looked up at the mother wolf.
“Grrrrrrrr”
She was glaring in the north direction while purring warily.
『You must take the children and leave this place right away.』
(What happened?)
『The Northern Lord of this forest has attacked.』
(Northern Lord?)
According to what I heard, it seems that this magical forest is currently divided by four powerful monsters, divided into north, south, east, and west. All of which has four vast territories. They have been defending each other’s sphere of influence, sometimes engaging in a fierce turf war. But even so, it seems that the lords haven’t fought each other in years. This was because they understood that if they clashed with each other, the winner would not be able to do it for free.
『……However, there have been many times in the past when the lords fought each other in this way. The balance of power in the forest changed then. It’s not uncommon. Besides, no matter how many years he lives, he’s still a bug. You can’t expect any decent thinking from him.』
Is the Lord of the North an insect-type monster? The insect system is visually tough.
(Really? Then, does that mean that the southern lord is around here?)
『That’s me.』
What!? I was surprised. Wolf-kaachan turned out to be the lord of the south.
『Hurry up. I’m going to gather my clansmen and take them down.』
“Waaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Wolf-kaachan let out a terrific howl towards the sky. Apparently, this is the signal for a gathering. Soon, a howl could be heard from all over the place, and wolves gathered one after another.
『That is going to be the case. You guys should stay away from here.』
“““……Kuuun”””
Despite their sad growl, the clever little wolves began to run away quietly. Sometimes they look back at me with worry, but as newborns, they’re just a hindrance to this battle.
『No, you run away too.』
(Eh? I’m going to fight though?)
