Ch 49 — Fell and Sui combo vs . bandits

Fell picked up speed . I could see a blue sky ahead through gaps between the trees .

“Okay, we’re out-” said Fer .

We left the forest and entered a wide sprawling prairie . Our journey through the forest had lasted for for a month and a half .

“Haa, we’re finally out of the forest . ” I sighed . Grassland, it feels good . . . . . . but where are we? Are there any roads?

“Fer, have you been here before?”

“Maybe . . . ” he replied noncommitally . So you’re not sure, huh?

“Are there any roads around here?” I enquired .

“Roads made by humans? I think there’s a road not far from here . ”

“Can you head there?”

“Why should we?”

“From what you’ve told me, Fer, I think that this is the Kingdom of Leonhart but it’s better we check that with someone . In addition we need to get to a town quickly since the meat will be used up soon, that’s why . ”

“The meat is running out?” Fer asked anxiously . “That’s serious . There’s bound to be a human road over that way . We’ll go there at once . ” The possibility of running out of meat to eat is a big deal for Fer .

As Fer promised, he found a human road quickly . I hope to encounter someone while going along this road . . . .

From high up on Fer’s back I spotted a horse carriage in the distance as we ran along the road . “Ah, people . . . ”

I heard voices, faint and intermittent . They must be quite loud since they’re so far away . Are they shouting?

“That carriage, it’s being being attacked by bandits . ” Fer said .

What? Bandits? !

“F-, Fer, please protect me, I will make a luxury dinner tonight!” The words tumbled from my mouth . I panicked and forgot I wasn’t the one that needed help here .

“Don’t forget that promise . ” Fer said as he accelerated towards the carriage .

We were suddenly beside the carriage . Adventurers who appeared to be escorting the wagon were fighting a gang of scruffy-looking ruffians . It looked like the bandits outnumbered the adventurers who were being pressed back .

“Plug your ears . ” Fer ordered . As Fell said I put my fingers in my ears .

“A-oooh!” Even with my ears plugged Fer’s howl froze my body .

The bandits and the adventurers who heard his howl clearly were totally petrified .

Sui crawled out of her bag . “Aruji-, what’s wrong?”

“There are some bad guys, Fer-ojichan is dealing with them . ”

“Huh? Is that so? Sui will help too . ”

“Right then, shoot acid bullets at the arms of those men with weapons over there and there and over there, OK? Don’t hit them with big acid bullets, just get them to drop their weapons . ”

“I understand-”

Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew .

“Gyaaa”

“Gooo”
