Chapter 236: The Name of the Skeleton
236 – The Name of the Skeleton
The manticore darts out of my field of vision. It’s annoying, but I’ve got no choice but to go along with what she wants.
Looking back, I turn my attention to the mountain of rubble she burst out of. Buried underneath, there should still be a child. Though I have to hope he hasn’t been crushed to death.
I carefully push aside the bricks with my foreleg.
“GuoOOh”
“U, uu…”
When I call out, I hear a moan in reply. I’m glad, he’s still alive it seems. It came from around here. Gently, I sift through the bricks. Through a gap I see flash of skin colour. I glance at my partner.
“Gaah”
With her cry, a light covers the pinned child. His injuries knit closed, and his contorted expression softens slightly. I lift him out with my foreleg and lay him down on the ground.
