Chapter 193: Hiding
Still holding Lily, I tumbled and rolled. Stones and branches on the ground struck my body and hurt, but this was no time to complain about such things.Looking at where the Beast Bear had gone, it had sent several of the pursuers flying and reached the Fenrir. The Fenrir, as expected, did not seem to have been sent flying. It would have been nice if the Fenrir and the Beast Bear simply fought each other from there, but things did not seem to be progressing that conveniently.
I put Lily on my back and started running together with Stevie. Lily, being shaken, spoke in broken phrases:
"Ro-Robby-sama, um, wh-why can you carry me so lightly, so, so, so..."
"Lily, I know. I have a skill called Strength. That’s why I don’t feel the weight even when I’m carrying you."
"I didn’t know... When did you..."
"I don’t know either. Before I realized it."
Oh — even while carrying Lily I was running faster than Stevie. I would still lose to a Beast Bear, but I was running far faster than a normal person.
"Also, I have Healthy Legs and Quick Legs too."
Because I was running, I couldn’t speak properly.
From behind I could hear Stevie’s footsteps. Looking back — oh, we had pulled a little ahead.
"Stevie, let’s go into that forest over there. Anyway, let’s get somewhere the pursuers can’t see us."
"Y-yes!"
Stevie was running while gasping "ze ze ze!" Beyond her, an especially large man among the pursuers was fighting the Beast Bear. Around them the Fenrir were fighting the other pursuers. Sorry, but please just take each other out.
"That dog whistle... huff huff... wasn’t something that could freely control magical beasts?"
I asked even though I thought she wouldn’t know, of course while running.
"Probably... it only calls them."
Stevie answered.
"They only called them, and the user of that mental magic was supposed to control them, don’t you think? Ah!?"
This time Lily answered. She had recovered enough to speak quite a bit. I see — so that was why the magical beasts could no longer be controlled and had ended up fighting. They reaped what they sowed! Fufufu, when you do bad things it comes back to you!
We plunged into the forest and ran until we could no longer be seen from outside, then finally stopped.
"For now, let’s rest a little."
I had sweated a tremendous amount. I raised my hand, produced water, and put it in my mouth. Stevie was looking as if she wanted some too, so when I raised a finger and tried to produce water she bit down on it with a "paku." She was grinning. Having no choice I produced water from the tip of my finger, and her throat moved with gulping sounds. Somehow it was erotic—! Lily was also looking as if she wanted some, so when I brought my finger she likewise took it into her mouth. Uwah, Lily’s chest was completely soaked from my sweat and in a terrible state. The parts of her breasts that had been pressed against my back were wet in round patches — it was serious. Could I see the shape of her nipples, or could I not?
