Chapter 260: Return
260 – Return
Seeing the blood pouring out of the manticore’s corpse, I breath a sigh of relief. My partner drools as she looks at the corpse.
P-please don’t eat that… Seriously. It’s been eating Lithovar people. Even indirectly, I don’t want to eat humans. When we next get given an offering I’ll leave it for you, so please hold back for now.
『Aaa, but…』
Would you be able to meet the eyes of the kids you spoke to in that cave? In its belly are their relatives and friends, you know?
『…W-well, I’m not that hungry at the moment. 』
She looks away from the manticore. Great, I was able to persuade her.
I turn around and notice Yarg. His has his spear readied as he looks between myself and the manticore, all composure lost.
There’s no strength in his grip. It looks like he’s struggling to work out what is happening. Similar to Yarg, Tatark has a look of bewilderment on his face.
