Chapter 167

Chapter 167

My eyes open . My consciousness is still dim . At first it is blurry, but my eyes gradually focus . It seems I have hardly moved from where I was before I lost consciousness .

When I think that this landscape looks unfamiliar, my line of sight lowers . My cheeks are lodged firmly in the ground .

I stretch my neck and raise my body while spitting out the sand in my mouth . Bleh, bleh . How did so much sand enter my mouth? Come to think of it, inside my dream, I think I was biting onto the back of a dark worm the size of a mountain . It tasted weird, I never thought that there will be a day where I would taste sand . Freud, please diagnose my dream .

My head has calmed down after spitting out the sand .

I'm sure I was hit in the head by the guy with golden hair…… But, I'm still alive? Am I being overlooked? Wait, but if that is so, then why?

Oh right, Nina! Where is Nina!? When I thought about Nina, blood rushed to my head . The block in my thoughts cleared up . Even if Nina was overlooked, due to the effects of [[Dragon Scale]], there is a possibility she is already dead .

"GuooooOO!"

I look around as I roar .

[DON'T MOVE]

Coming from behind me, was a [[Telepathy]] message full of hostility . I stop my movements . A [[Telepathy]] message received at this timing, I doubt that it is anyone else other than the ball rabbit . But, there is hostility in that [[Telepathy]] .

After I stop moving, I slowly look behind me .

I meet eyes with Adofu, sitting cross legged on the ground with a complicated expression .

The ball rabbit is right behind Adofu . The ball rabbit has both of its ears constricted around Adofu's neck . The ball rabbit seems to be serious, but the overall figure still looks silly to me .

The ball rabbit is glaring firmly . It is the first time that I have seen it this angry . My eyes and the ball rabbit's eyes meet and somehow its glare softens .

It seems like the [DON'T MOVE] from just now was directed at Adofu . Since Adofu was weakened from being stabbed in the back by the mysterious guy who had the same name as me, I thought that he had died after that . The wounds on Adofu's body seem to have covered up . Did the ball rabbit treat him?

"Pefu"

[Eyes, finally opened]

Ball rabbit sighs in relief .

Anyway, it is good to know that the ball rabbit is fine . But, I still do not see Nina around . Is Nina… is Nina ok?

[……That guy, took her away]

……I knew it, so it became that way . For some reason, I knew that it would become like that .

The last thing that that guy mentioned was about an invitation to the city . That is the reason he didn't finish me off . In order to lure me to the city, Nina was kidnapped as a hostage .

It's a complicated feeling . I was suddenly attacked and seriously injured, and Nina was even kidnapped, yet her life will be prolonged because of that . From the few exchanges in our conversation, it was easy to figure out that he is a total bastard, even though going to Haranae wasn't what Nina wanted . .

Because Nina is separated from me, her curse should weaken . If it is that person, there is also no need to worry about being defeated by monsters along the way . That person seems capable enough to handle it even if he was faced with two huge giant centipedes .

And then, well…… Adofu is…… .

"Pefu"

[Capture, done]

O, ou……

[He was about to die soon . So he wouldn't notice, I treated him from underground]

Thinking that Adofu would not be able to see you, you treated him from underground, right……? Ball rabbit, at times like this, you are really clever . Perhaps it is more clever than me?

It is true that Adofu can be useful in sorting out this situation . We can get all kinds of information regarding that mysterious guy and Haranae from him too . He seems strong-willed, but he had a falling out with his comrade . Even if we do not threaten him, there is a high chance that he will tell us the truth .

For now, I should take a look at Adofu's status .

〖Adolf・Ahren〗

How did this person get loaded down with so many abnormal status effects…… As someone who has experience in various battlefields, it is my first time seeing five status effects . Even in the past, I think the most I have seen is the poison spider which had three .

[Looked like would die from poison, so symptoms, lessened]

Ball rabbit, you are able to remove the poison? Perhaps it is an effect of [[Clean]] ? I thought for sure that that skill was only for cleaning .

[But, if he resisted, I couldn't hold him down, so a little was left]

……A cunning move .

Certainly , even if Adofu was not in perfect form, it would be easy for him to shake ball rabbit off . An enemy of an enemy is not necessary an ally . If it is ball rabbit, with [[Telepathy]] it should be able to perform a simple mind reading, but even that skill is not flawless . Or possibly, it found hostility towards me inside Adofu? Anyhow, I do not understand what happened in their situation, so after he's cured, the chance of him going on a rampage is not zero . It is necessary to have insurance during the period when I had lost consciousness .

"Pefu"

At the same time as the ball rabbit cries, a blue light comes out from its body and envelopes Adofu . I understand immediately because I had seen it before . This is the skill, [[Clean]] . Looks like it's completely curing the poison . Because I had woken up, it's no longer necessary to have an insurance .

"Th, thanks"

Adofu turns his head around and gives his thanks to ball rabbit . It seems like he was worried about how to respond, but for now he is giving his thanks .

[Don't move, do not make me repeat]

Adofu lifted his head immediately . Like before, he is showing a complicated expression .

……Anyway, I am awake now, can you unfasten your ears? For me, I can immediately capture Adofu alive in his current condition . For this reason, ball rabbit has already cured Adofu, yet for some reason stubbornly keeps the restrain around his neck .
