Chapter 257: Third Time with the Manticore
257 – Third Time with the Manticore
Yarg ties up my partner’s arms with fresh rope before taking the end of the rope and pulling her in the direction of the manticore.
Behind, Tatark is aiming his spear at her head. In his other hand, he has a lantern-like container, with glowing stones inside.
Perhaps enduring since my partner kicked him, Yarg occasionally moves to hold his nose with his bandaged hand.
Throughout the journey, many anxious glances are sent our way by Tatark. My partner glares at him, and he looks away. Averting his eyes, he opens his mouth to speak.
“…Soon, we’ll be reaching the manticore. It should be expecting our arrival following the setting of the sun. At this time it should be salivating as it waits in the shrine. ”
It makes sense that there’s no guarantee it would stay in one place all day long. I wonder if it was asked to wait there by the girl with miko’s blood through [Telepathy].
At this time of day, the manticore shouldn’t be as cautious. Having the Lithovar tribe consistently bringing it gifts at this time would have that effect.
“Oi, Tatatrk. Don’t make pointless conversation. ”
