Chapter 356: Fighting Power Check
356 – Fighting Power Check
The following day, I wake up in the nesting hole. Aro, who was sitting on my head, jumps to the floor. I crawl out of the nest and meet the nightmare’s eyes as it sits in a web strung overhead branches. It moves from its web to a branch, then from the branch the trunk and descends.
I look down at the ground beneath the giant tree. Various monsters can be seen flying around the trunk.
A huge eagle’s head and a lion’s body… That must be a griffon. It looks pretty strong. Fortunately it doesn’t seem to have noticed us and isn’t coming this way. I shift my focus beyond the griffon, towards the base of the tree.
…Inside the ruins in the roots, letters from my previous world are carved. There has to be some sort of clue related to my previous world in there.
I haven’t got any memories, and it’s not like I particularly want to return. Rather than those who I have no memories of, right now Aro and the others are far more important to me. If I can’t have them both, then I really would be fine with my memories not returning.
But that’s not to say I haven’t got any curiosity about my place in this world. If clues are dangled in front of my nose, then of course I’m going to chase after them.
Glancing to the side, I see Aro next to me also looking down. A short while later, treant-san emerges from the nesting hole, holding a hand-like branch over its mouth to stifle a yawn… It somehow gives an impression unreliability.
After passing through the mortal combat with the strange siren birds, Aro and the others’ statuses have shot up.
