Helmut
Episode 275
‘That!’
Ygrel’s pupils dilated greatly. His extraordinary eyesight caught something white and plump in the forest below.
A rabbit that looks like you want to bite it. When Ygrel’s eyes suddenly turned, he couldn’t even see anything small hanging above it.
‘It’s a rabbit!’
Ygrel likes rabbits. That too, very, very much.
Immediately, the presence of the golem following him disappeared from Ygrel’s mind.
At this moment, Ygrel followed his instincts perfectly.
Geeeeee!
A huge monster bird plunging down with a roar!
Before Ygrel attacked, a shadow attacked them first. White rabbits named Sera and Pomi!
“Huh? “It suddenly got dark!”
[This… … .]
The white rabbit sensed danger. That was a rabbit’s instinct, not Naho’s.
puck! Kwasik!
As the white rabbit dodged to the side, a huge claw powerfully grazed the spot where he was.
As Ygrel’s claws dug in, trees fell down wherever they passed, creating a hollow in the forest.
Cuguagagagagang!
A gust of wind followed.
Sarah almost grabbed the white rabbit’s ears and barely managed to avoid being thrown away.
She immediately mumbled in a daze.
“Bird, it’s a bird. “What kind of bird is that big?”
The white rabbit immediately recognized the identity of the bird.
‘Why is Ygrel here? ‘This is close to the central area.’
It was a disaster.
Igrel and Naho did not get along very well. It is difficult for birds and snakes to get along. Because it’s a relationship where they eat each other.
If Igrel even recognizes Naho’s thoughts in the white rabbit, then.
The White Rabbit was conflicted for a moment.
‘Should I leave this girl and run away?’
But even if he didn’t recognize him, Igrel had no intention of giving up on the white rabbit.
Ygrel, who missed his target and destroyed the forest, flapped his wings again and circled towards the white rabbit.
[Quite quick? good. Let’s see if we can avoid it this time… … huh?]
Ygrel blinked.
This is because a human girl suddenly jumped in front of the white rabbit.
A girl aiming her sword in this direction. A sword that looked like a toothpick in Ygrel’s eyes glowed sharply in her hand.
And Sarah’s eyes were shining bravely.
“Fomi, run away while I fight!”
Sera had lost her so-called cowardice.
She is the one who brought Pomi here. Sera was burning with her duty to protect the only friend she had made in the Forest of Pahe.
The white rabbit watching this was dumbfounded.
‘You stupid girl, you’re turning your back on me! And you don’t even recognize who the other person is?’
They say you are brave if you are ignorant, but I was shocked.
Do you think that a weak young human can counter even one attack against Ygrel, the ruler of the southern region?
‘If I take her out of here, this girl will die. The purpose is achieved. Elaga will also focus on Ygrel, not me, so it will be better if the two fight. but… … .’
I tried to kill him myself, but something was disappointing. That may be the reason. The white rabbit hesitated, unable to leave.
Sera shouted once again.
“Go quickly!”
‘What are you doing? That human. Are you really trying to protect that rabbit? ‘Humans and monsters?’
Ygrel was momentarily confused. It was a sight rarely seen twice in his life.
At that time, one more bird landed next to Igrel, who was staring at Serah blankly.
No, it was a golem in the shape of a bird. And then four humans jumped off its back.
The silver-haired female wizard opened her mouth.
“Mr. Ygrel. “Didn’t you say that humans don’t eat it?”
“The reason why I suddenly fell vertically like that… … . “Isn’t it true that only children eat it?”
Suspicious eyes fell on Ygrel. Ygrel suddenly became mortified.
[No, I was trying to eat the rabbit back there. I’m not human!]
Sian asked, scratching his cheek.
“Wait a minute, why is there someone here?”
“person? It’s a girl, right? “Is there such a young girl in a place like this?”
With wide eyes, Sarah pointed her finger at them who appeared out of nowhere.
“Uh oh, it’s a person!”
They seemed surprised to have met a person in the forest of Pahe.
‘Oh, I came to save them.’
Sarah came to her senses first.
In fact, seeing giant monsters like Elaga every day, I didn’t feel very threatened when I saw Ygrel.
Compared to Elaga, Ygrel was a bird that was only larger in size and had pretty fur.
“Is everyone okay?”
At her question, the group all looked at each other.
Asuka opened her mouth crookedly.
“I’m more curious about whether you’re okay. What are you doing, kid, holding a sword? Are you really going to fight this bird?”
Xian, who sensed the corners of Igrell’s eyes rising, quickly corrected him.
“Mr. Ygrel.”
Sarah shouted loudly.
“That bird tried to eat my friend!”
[It is common in Pahe Forest for strong monsters to prey on weak monsters.]
Ygrel’s eyes still contained desire. The desire to see mouth-watering prey right in front of you!
[Don’t get in my way and get out of the way. Because I have to catch and eat that white rabbit!]
Sera raised her sword again and widened her eyes.
“No! “As long as I’m here, you can’t catch Pommy!”
Asuka responded indifferently.
“Why are you protecting the monster? “Why don’t you just give it to me?”
Xian also asked as if he was curious.
“What monster’s name is Pomi? “Is it really you who built it?”
The conversation was mixed up in confusion. It was an unknown situation as to what had happened.
Meanwhile, Area watched the scene in front of her and quickly organized her thoughts.
‘A young girl in the forest of Pahe. It doesn’t look that strong. If so, you must be under someone’s protection. This is the road to the central area. Is that someone a leopard named Elaga?’
At that time, Igrel noticed that the white rabbit was moving backwards and became impatient.
[Ayyy! Move! Young human! If you block my way, I won’t let you go!]
Thump thump! This Grell stepped forward, stamping his feet on the ground.
Even though Sarah stepped back, she didn’t think about getting out of the way. She raised her sword again. Sarah’s eyes shone resolutely.
Area asked.
“Do you know the leopard named Elaga?”
Only then did Igrel regain his senses and pause. He wondered why he didn’t realize it sooner.
[Elaga? Are you the human being raised by Elaga?]
The wary expression eased slightly.
Sera’s pupils shook wildly as she saw Area hidden behind her.
It was a reaction as if I had suddenly witnessed something unreal. Shiny silver hair and vivid purple eyes.
Area, dressed in white robes, was so breathtakingly beautiful that she did not look human at all. Sarah finally stuttered her answer belatedly.
“ah… … i know. I am with Elaga… … “I’m living.”
A gleam flashed through Area’s eyes.
“Then, is there a human named Helmut living there too?”
The voice asking the question was simple, but an intense and earnest emotion welled up in my heart.
Area waited for the girl’s answer.
‘Helmut? Suddenly about Helmut… … How did know?’
Sarah, who was about to quickly answer yes, suddenly became wary and stopped speaking. She finally did something.
‘It was said that Helmut was betrayed in the human world and driven out to the Forest of Pahe.’
In that case, these people from the outside world may not necessarily have come to Helmut with good intentions. If they are people who have a hostile relationship with Helmut… … .
Sarah lied naturally.
“I saw him, but we don’t live together. “I don’t know where it is.”
My pulse relaxed.
Area tried to suppress her disappointment and console herself.
‘There’s no way I can find it this easily.’
“Besides, what happened to you? What is that bird? Weren’t you all banished to the Forest of Pahe?”
Sarah tilted her head. In that sense, Area and the others came riding on something that looked like a strange bird, and they looked very well and prepared.
As if he voluntarily entered this forest of Pahe with a certain purpose.
‘That can’t be… … ‘Is there one?’
Ygrel perked up and became irritated.
[This isn’t even the central area yet, so why is Elaga’s pet human wandering around here? Unlucky. I almost killed you! Then I’m not just making excuses!]
It was only after seeing him getting angry that Serah realized Igrel’s identity.
“South… … Ygrel, the ruler of the area?”
[Now you recognize it. Still, I’m glad I have eyes, young human.]
“This is not the southern region.”
[It’s not even the central region. This is an area where a weak child like you should not come!]
“I came to save those people.”
Sarah became more and more confused. Then why did you come here?
They seemed capable of protecting themselves.
But I didn’t know why Ygrel was with him. Like Elaga, does Ygrel protect humans?
[Could it be that that rabbit is also Elaga’s subordinate? Did they also keep monsters in their household? But there’s something strange about that rabbit. I feel an uneasy feeling.]
Ygrel narrowed his eyes as he glared at the white rabbit lingering behind Sera. It felt like he knew or didn’t know.
At that time, Charlotte, who had been quiet, walked forward.
“Well, we’re heading to the central region to find Helmut. I was close to him. “Maybe we can meet Elaga?”
If this child is under Elaga’s protection, it will be helpful in making healthy contact with Elaga.
Sarah immediately froze when she saw Charlotte’s face.
She muttered as she slowly scanned Charlotte’s face.
“Resembles… … .”
I could hear the friendliness in Sarah’s voice. It was as if she had met someone who resembled someone close to her.
Alea’s voice became cold.
“Are you sure you don’t know where Helmut is?”
“that… … .”
The moment Sarah hesitated, a white rabbit jumped up and ran behind her.
‘Ygrel must not recognize me!’
Anyway, Igrel won’t kill Sera because he doesn’t have the heart to fight with Elaga. Then he just has to wait for the next opportunity.
The important thing now is to take care of your own life.
Fortunately, Ygrel did not chase him. The white rabbit heaved a sigh of relief and jumped around diligently.
Not long after, the white rabbit raised its head in surprise.
‘huh?’
Thump, thump, thud!
The floor trembles and vibrates slowly. The excitement resonated throughout my body.
‘What is this?’
The White Rabbit was soon able to get the answer to his question.
A huge shadow fell from above. It felt like rocks were falling. The heavy front paw hit the white rabbit directly, with no time to dodge.
puck! Quack!
The white body fell to the floor, its bones and flesh being crushed.
A blow that would have killed him if it weren’t for the monster. The white rabbit lost consciousness from shock.
The person I was talking with muttered after lightly catching a rabbit that got in the way as he was passing by.
[huh? What is this guy? You can feel Naho’s energy, right?]
