A big moving stone statue about 1.5 times my height overtakes Lucky and goes around him.
It seems he was a little late to escape because he had us on his back.
Lucky is a very sweet and considerate boy.
The moving statue was a demon called a gargoyle.
They look like stone statues when they're not moving.
It passed us and stood in front of us, but didn't seem to attack us.
Hmm? Instead, it started crying again.
"Uh-uh. Why are you running away? I don't like this scary face either!"
Are you okay? Is she at an emotionally unstable age?
I thought so and tried to talk to her, but she suddenly unleashed an attack spell.
It was a wind magic bullet made by compressing wind.
I was lucky to react to it.
You are so naive. You dare to cast wind magic at me?
Lucky's tail wags wildly.
An intricate magic circle appears before my eyes.
Is Lucky ready for this?
No, this is definitely not the way to do it.
Beyond the gargoyles is the city we came from.
This is a bad idea!
"Lucky! That's too much!"
Lucky's spell can't be canceled by .......
I'll counteract it with my own magic.
I stand in front of the gargoyle and cast a spell to repel Lucky's magic.
Even if I'm serious, I can't cancel it out.
I know Lucky doesn't really mean it, but I'm going to die if he doesn't really learn to control his magic.
Lucky tries to cancel the magic in the middle of the session, and buys me a few seconds to gather my magic power.
Lucky's magic splits in two around me, and the trees in the forest are knocked down.
It doesn't reach King's Landing, but he's done it!
My hands hurt like hell.
I guess I couldn't hit them all.
A heavy cloud of smoke rises and I lose my vision for a moment.
When the smoke clears, I see Lucky, lying on the ground in Shannon's shadow, holding his head with his paws. He glances at me through the gap between his paws.
"Lucky, Shannon, are you hurt?
"No, I'm fine. I'm fine.
Shannon was also quite surprised and her knees were smiling.
I'm glad to hear that. Shannon is also surprised, Lucky's magic is like a disaster. If the magic reaches King's Landing, we'll be hunted for the rest of our lives for treason, so be careful. Come on out of hiding."
--I'm sorry. I was a little off...
"Yeah. It's good that you can apologize. It's good that you can apologize, but you know that Lucky is stronger than all of us and he can hurt me or Shannon if he gets a little carried away. I was there this time. Power can protect or destroy depending on how you use it. I hope you'll be able to make that decision. Because Lucky is a very kind girl."
"Mr. Locke! I need to stop the bleeding right away.
He pulls out a recovery potion from his bag and takes it all at once.
It's been a while since I've taken a recovery potion, but it tastes pretty good with a honey flavor.
Thanks to the recovery medicine, the wound heals instantly.
I lost a lot of blood, but I was quite lucky to be able to repel Fenrir's magic.
"Lucky, come here."
Lucky comes over to me and licks my wound.
"I'm really glad Lucky saved us. So now we're going to learn together how to control our power and how to fight. Are you okay with that, Lucky?"
------Kuhn. I'm fine----
Lucky rubs his cheek against my face.
I'll have to brush it later.
Tears well up in Lucky's eyes.
He's such a sweet boy, it makes me happy.
"Thank God. Don't cry like that. I'll be all right. Speaking of which, where's the gargoyle that fought Lucky?"
The gargoyle was looking at us and shaking.
When his eyes met mine, he yelled out.
"You little b*tc*! You monster!"
"No, I don't want a gargoyle to call me a monster. No, I don't want a gargoyle to call me a monster!
I walk over to the gargoyle and see it shaking.
"It's okay. Calm down. We won't attack you unless you attack us.
"Oh, really?"
"You see, if I wanted to kill you, I could take out not only Lucky, but me and Shannon all by myself. Why bother lying when we're so different?
Shannon is shaking her head, but I'm sure she can handle a gargoyle like this.
"You're absolutely right. I'm a gargoyle mass-production type born in the Demon King's castle. But I was made from surplus materials, and I've been in charge of cleaning the castle for a hundred years now, without ever being in the front line. But recently, the leadership of the castle changed, and they said they were going to change the generation of gargoyles, so I was fired. They don't need gargoyles just for cleaning. The previous Demon Lord was a very good man, and I wanted to help him, but in the end I couldn't do anything."
The gargoyle was very depressed.
A change in the leadership of the Demon King's castle must mean that something has changed in the Demon King's castle.
My parents' village is near the castle, so I was getting worried.
"So I wandered around in the forest for a long time, and when I reached the village beyond the mountain, I was suddenly attacked. I didn't make the scary face. I wondered what I was born for.
"You don't look that scary. If anything, I think he's cool. But human villages are sometimes exclusive... so it's inevitable that they'll attack if demons suddenly appear..."
"I see. I've been doing nothing but cleaning for a long time and I've never met a human before, so I'm not familiar with that kind of thing.
But a gargoyle that has been doing nothing but cleaning for 100 years?
Is there such a thing?
When the Demon Lord's entourage wandered into the village a long time ago, they were told that gargoyles were an elite unit of the Demon Lord's army.
Even if they're a failure, they must be very powerful.
And yet that wind magic was of a commoner's level.
That's why they were in charge of cleaning up. .......
With these thoughts in mind, I turned away from the magic-gouged forest that had split in two and flown apart.
Let's just pretend we didn't see it and move on.
I'll get in trouble if anyone finds out about this.
