My name is Bazara. I’m a solo A-rank adventurer. After six months of solo adventure into the depths of the Great Dungeon of Vegaltia, I had returned safely to the surface. Fortunately, it was a road that I had traveled once, so I was able to cross it in a short time without much difficulty on the return trip. Of course, I have also improved my level significantly.
During my exploration, I also find powerful weapons and my equipment had leveled up as well. It was a very rewarding challenge. Furthermore, if this achievement is properly evaluated, promotion to the S rank is not a dream.
“Even so…… it’s been a long time since I’ve had a comfortable bed……”
I was lying on a plush bed. I’m in a room in one of the most luxurious inns in the city. This is where I am recuperating from a long adventure.
And that’s when it happened.
From the other side of the window, I felt a tremendous amount of magic swell, and I jumped up in a panic.
“Wh-what’s with that magic just now……? Uh-……What’s more, this terrible presence is……hiii!?”
My back shivered. Outside the window…… In the direction of garden in the inn…. the terrifying presence is coming from there.
“I-impossible…… this presence…… it’s comparable to the monster in the sixtieth level. No…. it’s even more than that….…”
I looked out the window in disbelief and fear, there, I saw a gigantic jet-black wolf that must have been seven or eight meters in length.
◇◇◇
I decided to summon Kaa-chan in the garden of the inn.
“Mmm, I guess with this space, it will be fine.”
『……Master. Even I, who is only a staff, understands that it would be better not to summon that monster in a place like this. 』
(Eh? Is that so? But this is an emergency. I’ll just talk to Kaa-chan for a little while anyway, it will be fine.)
The summoning magic circle is deployed, and a brilliant light bursts out. By the time it subsided, a gigantic wolf had appeared.
『……You summoned me out of the blue again? Seriously, why don’t you think about my convenience a little? I’m busy too, you know? 』
(Sorry, sorry, Kaa-chan. However, I heard that something terrible is happening in the forest. Are you guys okay?)
『We are not okay at all. 』
Kaa-chan let’s out a big sigh. As expected, something happened.
『Suddenly, a powerful monster appeared in the forest. The Lord of the East has already been killed by it. 』
(Powerful monster? What kind of monster is it?)
『Who knows. I haven’t seen it before, so I don’t know. However, we monsters are sensitive to magic, so we can usually tell how strong the other party is even from a distance. To be honest, I don’t think that even if the remaining Lords, the Lord of the South and the Lord of the West joined forces, we won’t be able to stand up against it. 』
It must be a pretty powerful monster to make Kaa-chan say that. It seems that the monsters are escaping from the forest one after another because of it.
(Kaa-chan and the others don’t plan to run away?)
『We’re not going to run away. We are going to fight to the end no matter who is trying to invade our territory. After all, there won’t be many other places where the pack can live together than in the first forest. 』
If she is alone, she would probably be able to live anywhere. But Kaa-chan is the leader of the pack. She can’t leave the wolves in the pack alone.
(As expected, Kaa-chan is a cool and noble wolf.)
『……W-what’s with that all of a sudden? T-that’s gross. 』
I proposed to Kaa-chan.
(Then I’ll fight with you. You helped me the other day too.)
『What absurd thing are you talking about? Even if you’re a powerful baby, this time, you may not get away unscathed! So, no! 』
Kaa-chan shakes her head in refusal.
(Don’t worry, Kaa-chan. I’ve gotten stronger since then. Look, as you can see, my body has gotten bigger.)
『……From my point of view, it’s even more uncertain. Humans grow slowly after all. The babies who used to drink milk with you are now adults. 』
When I appealed my growth, Kaa-chan snorted exasperatedly.
