It was the middle of the night. Near one of the most exclusive inns in Vegaltia, a group of suspicious figures gathered.
“Are you sure that they are staying at this inn?”
“Yes, there’s no doubt about it. It seems that they are renting a room in this inn with an adventurer who is part of their party.”
“At this time, they should be asleep.”
“Yes. And if you cast a sleep spell on them, they won’t wake up until morning. ……The carriage is ready to leave at any time.”
Their true identities are none other than the vassals of the Brazel family.
Meliena muttered in frustration as she watched as the most stealthy magicians broke into the building.
“We should have done it this way from the beginning.”
“Don’t say that. I didn’t expect the adventurers to be so troublesome.”
“……”
“Above all, there is the power of that Reus kid. There is no doubt that he was a Great Sage in his previous life. We must bring him back. If the reincarnation of the Great Sage appeared in my clan, I would have nothing to fear anymore. For many years we have been relegated to the undeserved role of guarding such a remote land, but the time has finally come for us to show our power to the whole kingdom, no, to the world!”
As Galia spoke proudly, a thud resounded nearby, as if something fell.
“Hmm? What’s that sound? T-this…… -wha!?”
He turned his gaze to the direction from which the sound came, and involuntarily gasped. There were people lying on the ground. Moreover, when he looked closely, he saw that they are the magicians who have just invaded the building.
“W-What on earth is going on……?”
“Grrrrrr”
“~~~~!?”
The roar of a beast echoed from above.
He looked up timidly and saw an unbelievably huge wolf. In the darkness of the night, its silver coat still shines. It was a beauty that makes one easily entranced. But more than that, the overwhelming intimidating presence that the monster radiated from its whole body made Galia fell to his knees on the spot.
“A, A, A….…”
Of course, he’s not the only one.
His wife and his subordinates, without exception, were all speechless and could only kneel on the spot. The head of the giant wolf slowly descends close to Galia. He despaired that he would be eaten to death just like that. However, the next moment, he was hit by an unexpected situation.
“…… Eh?”
The wolf just lifted his body by the corner of its mouth so that only his lower half was trapped.
“Hiiii!?”
He then heard his wife’s screams from the other side. Apparently, on the other side, she was bitten by the wolf in the same way. There was nothing they could do. He instinctively understood that it was useless to resist. His subordinates could not even move.
Immediately afterwards, a tremendous load was applied to his whole body. But it wasn’t bitten. The wolf kicked the ground with the two of them in its mouth.
“~~~~~~~~~~~~!?”
The acceleration is so great that he feels like he is about to be tear apart. The wolf leaped and fluttered through the air. Then it jumped over the wall that surrounded the city.
““Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!””
A scream rang out of their mouths, but the wolf landed on the ground as if nothing had happened. In addition, it continues to run at a breakneck speed.
““Gyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!””
The giant wolf’s gallop continued throughout the night.
Morning.
They were already tired of screaming and are now limp, and what greeted them was the familiar city wall illuminated by the morning sun. In the distance, they can see the Magical Forest. Apparently, they have returned to the city ruled by the Brazel family.
The wolf that had been running all this time stopped in its tracks. They are then tossed on the ground nearby.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”
““Hiii!””
『Never lay your hands on my Master again. The next time you do that, I’ll bite you to death. 』
For some reason, a voice came to their minds that seemed to belong to this terrible monster.
Nod! Nod! Nod!
Both of them frantically nodded their heads.
『……You promised. 』
Perhaps satisfied, the giant wolf slowly turned back. Then, with its tail facing them, it headed back the way it had come at breakneck speed.
