Ch 72 — Bloody Horn Bulls

We arrived at a wide area of open grassland on the west side of the city, ready to subjugate the Bloody Horn Bull herd which was grazing there .

The Guild Master had told us all about the monster known as the Bloody Horn Bull . Each Bull was about the size of a rhinoceros with a temper to match . On top of that their cattle-herd instincts of clustering together and facing threats like a well-drilled military formation increased their danger level compared with attempting to subjugate an individual Bloody Horn Bull .

Fer wasn’t bothered by that kind of threat of course . For me, I just decided to stay out of his way while he dealt with them . But where were they?

“Fer, do you know where the Bloody Horn Bull herd is?”

“Yeah, I can see them, they’re not far off . Let’s get closer and then I’ll deal with them . ” Following Fer’s gaze I made out some small black dots off in the distance .

“If that’s the Bloody Horn Bull over there then Sui and me will wait here . ” Safety first, after all .

“Do that . I’ll head over there right now and I’ll contact you by telepathy when I’ve killed them all . ”

“Gotcha . ”

Fer slunk off towards the Bloody Horn Bulls, staying low to hide himself from their sight in the long grass .

I lay down and hid in the long grass too . After all I wouldn’t want to spook the Bloody Horn Bulls and make Fer’s job harder, would I? It’s not like I was scared of them or anything . Just playing my part .

Sui crawled out of the bag that I had placed next to my head .

“Where did Fer-ojichan go?-”

“He went off to defeat the big cow-sans . ” I explained .

“No fair- . Sui wants to defeat the cow-sans too-”
