Chapter 226: Little Treant
226 – Little Treant
“Gaah gaah!”
After reviving the wight with a use of [Soul AppendmentFake Life], my partner starts to show interest in the remains of the abyss. I try to get her to stop, but it seems she really wants to try and eat it. She must be really hungry. I attempt to leave, but she resists, making it difficult to walk the way I want to, so I end up approaching it.
Fearfully, my partner brings her head close to the abyss’ corpse and sniffs it. Scrunching her eyes closed, she sticks out her tongue and gently draws her mouth closer to the abyss.
Then, just before her tongue touches it, her eyes open. Her eyes and the dead abyss’ eyes meet.
“Gaa…”
Her tongue’s movement stops. Letting out a lonely cry, she pulls her head back.
… As expected, no matter how hungry you are, this isn’t something to eat. That makes sense. If she sank her teeth into it, I didn’t know what I would do.
Trembling, my partner looks at me, looking like she is about to cry. I know you’re really hungry, but we’ll be able to eat something much nicer in just a bit. The tribute’s still waiting for us at the shrine.
