『No, you run away too.』
(Eh? I’m going to fight though?)
Wolf-kaachan sighs exasperatedly.
『What a stupid thing to do… The enemy is powerful. You, a baby, can’t help me with anything.』
(Did you forget? I have this guy.)
I pulled out my beloved staff, Lindwurm, from the void.
『Where did it come from just now…?』
Wolf-kaachan seemed to be quite scared of Lindwurm so I usually covered it up with magic.
I grabbed my beloved staff with my little hand and swung it around. Okay, it looks like I got strong enough to do this.
『……Certainly, that staff , I can feel a terrifying presence from it that makes my entire body hair stand on end. It must be a very powerful thing. But, you are a human baby in the first place. There is no reason for you to get involved in the strife of the monsters of our forest.』
(Hey, come on. Don’t speak like we’re so distant, Kaa-chan.)
『Kaa-, What do you mean mother!? Tsk! Sure, I gave you milk, but I don’t remember making you my child!』
(I’ve grown this far thanks to Kaa-chan’s breast milk. Besides, it’s not an exaggeration to say that I’m your child. I’ve become close with the wolf cubs too.”
『That’s why I’m telling you not to call me Kaa-chan!』
Mother wolf howled menacingly, then, 『…Fine, whatever. Suit yourself 』, she said resignedly.
『Master, you say things like you’ve “grown this far”, but isn’t it usually said after you’re a little older?』
(Can you please not get into details?)
In the meantime, the wolves were gathering one after another. Even if they are the same wolf monster, their physiques, skeletal system, and furs are different. In addition, it seems that there are quite a few different races.
“““Gau-gau!”””
“Wauu!!”
Kaa-chan seemed to have sent some kind of signal to one of them, and then a wolf came towards me. Then he bites my body gently and throws me upwards. Before I knew it, I was riding on the back of that wolf.
『You stay on top of him. In that way, you won’t have to worry being accidentally eaten by your comrades. 』
Well, a lot of them don’t know me after all. It’s indeed troublesome if they see that I’m just a human baby and then I get attacked by my own allies.
『Oh! They’re coming!』
Kaa-chan then roared. The wolves get ready for battle all at once. The next moment, through the trees, huge spider monsters with a total length of more than two meters appeared.
I’m sure it is a Tarantula. The threads that combine stickiness and toughness, and the venomous fangs make it a troublesome monster. I used my search spell to see how many forces the enemy has. After a quick search, there are probably more than 100 monsters of the same kind. In terms of numbers, it seems that there are more people over there.
Eventually, one after another, giant spiders rushed into the area where this pack of wolves is waiting. In no time at all, it turned into a melee. Fierce battles broke out here and there.
Wolves get entangled in spider silk and are unable to move. On the other hand, wolves easily tear apart the spider’s fragile body with their sharp claws and fangs.
Kaa-chan was one of the most active. Taking advantage of her huge size and power, she easily tramples a two-meter spider. Despite her size, she is also very agile. She is running around the battlefield at a tremendous speed, quickly evading the spider silk that flew by.
As expected of my Kaa-chan.
I can’t afford to lose either.
(From what I see, the spider’s armor looks weak. Alright. Linlin, it’s sword mode.)
『Understood, Master. However, I would like to ask you again and again, please do not call me that.』
(Ei, it’s fine, it’s cute you see.)
『……』
Slightly dissatisfied, the Holy Dragon Staff Lindwurm transforms. With Lindwurm in hand, which had changed from staff mode to sword mode, I straddled the wolf and charged into the spider pack.
Zubabababababa!!!
I wield Lindwurm vigorously and slashed the spiders one after another. As I thought, with sword mode, the sharpness could easily slaughter these guys even with my current meager muscle strength.
““Wauu!?””
The wolves are amazed at the sight of a human baby swinging a giant sword.
“Gaoo!?”
“Hmm? Spider’s silk threads?”
Perhaps seeing us as a troublesome opponent, many spiders surrounded us and released their silk threads all at once. Threads approached us from all directions. There is no way out. But that was in vain. In this mode, there is nothing that Lindwurm cannot cut. I slashed the thread to create an escape route and annihilated the spiders that surrounded us.
“Waaauuu!?”
“Hmm?”
It was then.
I turned around when I heard that familiar roar and looked at it. Kaa-chan is trapped in a spider’s silk and I saw her scratching her head in pain. Near her, there was a ridiculously huge spider that was on par with Kaa-chan’s size.
Eh?
Kaa-chan is in a big pinch!
