Chapter 262: A Moment at the Shrine
262 – A Moment at the Shrine
I return to the dragon-god’s shrine with Aro.
My attention focuses on a big tree that wasn’t there before. The tree uproots itself and a large mouth opens on it. Oh, it was lesser treant-san.
The treant shakes, and yellow-green spiderlings plop to the ground. It’s the baby araenies. More of them come crawling out of the shrine.
“Gaah! Guah!”
My partner stretches her head out, and the spiderlings come closer. They climb onto her head and start tapping her with their feet, playing around.
…It seems she really wants to keep them. What’s going to come of them, I don’t know.
But with them welcoming us back like that, this place is really starting to feel like a home. The spiderlings, the treant, Aro…and now the clay rabbit, too. Yeah, yeah, it’s nice that it’s gotten lively. It’s nice, but… It’s really starting to look like I’m headed down the demon lord route. When these guys grow up, they could form quite the war potential.
“Gaah! Gaah!”
