It was a large h matted hair
Crockta spoke, ”I am alive We are…”
But before Crockta could finish speaking, the man aimed his machete at Crockta and said, “Get lost, you thieves”
”We aren't thieves…”
Crockta tried to explain but the machete moved even closer The blade touched his skin Crockta's eyebroitchedBut it was a fact that they had invaded the man's home He decided to step back
“I understand We'll leave”
Thefrom the side, jumped in ”Ah! We…!”
”Shut up Kid”
The shocked Tiyo looked at the man and said, ”What did you say? K-Kid?”
Crockta seized Tiyo before he could aiic staff that was protecting the area He touched soain It spread all over the place, creating a dim shi+eld around the fence
“I just wanted to say that we didn'tStay alive”
Crockta said politely as he stood before the hole The ed and crawled out through the s Crockta andpeople…”
Then he approached the cow that was staring at him It was the cow that Crockta and Tiyo saved
“You look well SkollaWere there any problems?”
It was a soft voice, unlike the previous wild person who see the ainst the cow's face The cow gave a long cry
“What?”
The man responded like he could understand the coords The cow cried out again, ”Moooooo…”
The man's eyes deepened as he looked back He stared at the hole that Crockta and Tiyo went through The man spoke
“That doesn't mean that you owe them They came in on their own so they can take care of the proble “I understand, I understand Don't worry”
He approached the other cows and repeated the saether and feed After that, he looked at the forest that unfolded beyond the fence This place was always damp and cloudy A forest of darkness Ordinary people who entered would get lost and become the prey of the creatures
The cows drinking fro cries”Moooooo…”
The man filled his quiver with arrows “I understand”
“He is a very bad person Isn't that right Crockta?”
Crockta responded to Tiyo, ”It is true though That ere uninvited guests”
“But we protected his cows”
“We also called the wyverns”
“Hmm hmm! Yes, but he called me a kid dot!” Tiyo junome dot! I'm not a puny kid! I'm only small compared to Crockta dot!”
“Kulkulkul”
“Don't laugh dot!” Tiyo whined
They relied on the coh the Forest of Creatures then the north would appear
“Surprisingly, there aren't many creatures”
They thought that they would be attacked endlessly the moment they entered the forest, but it was ht In particular, there seens of creatures in this area The sounds of birds and insects were gone as well There weren't even any wyverns occasionally roa the sky
Crockta touched the handle of his greatsword
“Tiyo”
”Huh?”
”Shh” Crockta raised a finger to his mouth ”Go quietly”
“What did you see…?”
”I didn't see anything, but the area is too quiet The Forest of Creatures is infaerous creatures There is only one reason for the silence here”
”……”
Tiyo understood what he s meant there was a nearby predator that they couldn't tolerate Maybe Crockta and Tiyo had stepped foot into a dangerous place
”Let's go quickly”
”Understood dot”
They killed the sound of their footsteps and started to led from tree branches and covered their view Crockta pulled out his greatsword and sliced through there Slayer and were cut off cleanly
“Why would that guy live here?” Tiyo muttered
”I don’t know”
Crockta was also curious about the man's story It was a talent to have pierced a wyvern in an instant What was the reason for living in this place? The man was apparently a hunter
“It is in order to hunt”
Hunters lived by hunting They proved theame There must be a reason for the hunter to set up ca to catch here?
”……”
At that e shadow had just passed above him
”What?”
Tiyo raised his head The branches, leaves, and vines covered the sky, so he couldn't see it properly It was just a big black shadow
”Wyverns?”
The …
The shadow passed over their heads again
”……!”
Crockta grasped his greatshile looking up at the sky The big body quickly passed through their field of vision It was obviously bigger than a wyvern
“Tiyo!”
“I-I saw it”
Tiyo was already grabbing 'General' He aimed the ain Tiyo looked around
“What?”
Crockta and Tiyo moved slowly as they watched the sky At that rowl resounded out from behind them, ”Grrrrrrr…”
Crockta hurriedly raised his greatsword Beyond the vegetation and vines, the for revealed
“That…what…?” Tiyovoice
The enor at them, but its revealed teeth were that of a beast Beyond the disheveled hair that was like a shaggy er
