《Gallinus》11- First victory
Advertisement
For the first time, since I arrived in this world, I feel that I am in danger.
Behind me is a mutant armadillo with huge claws, sharp teeth and a tail that can probably pierce me.
My only luck is that I’m a little bit away from it, so it will take time to reach me.
What do I do?! There has to be something… Ah, I just need to climb a tree!
I quickly changed my path to the nearest tree.
… Eh? Where’s that armadillo?
When I look around, I see no sign of the animal that chases me fiercely.
This means…
I looked down at my feet and saw a little wine color.
Without hesitating, I jump to the side.
As soon as I jump, the armadillo claws leave where I was.
… Hey, I would have died if it hit me, right?!
Seeing the blow missed, the armadillo slowly returns to the ground…
I’m still fine, I just need to run back towards a tree and look under my feet… What?!
While I was coming up with my escape plan, the armadillo, which retreated below the ground, made a big jump from my side, trying to capture me.
The only problem was that he jumped too high and ran over me.
… How can you get it wrong?!
Even I was incredulous at this scene, but I took the opportunity to climb the tree in front of me.
Hahaha… Now I’m totally safe!!
On top of a tree it is impossible for an armadillo to reach me.
Or, at least, I hoped so, but the armadillo began to climb the tree with its claws.
… Get out! This tree is mine!!
I start throwing branches at the armadillo, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect.
Why are you so insistent?! Leave me alone!

Looking for something to help me, I found a long stick.
That should do it… I’ll make you fall!!
I grab the stick with my beak and then try to poke the armadillo.
If I hit the eyes…
Since the armadillo was occupied with its claws, as long as I did not aim at its mouth, it would manage to hit its eye.
But something that I completely forgot happened, which is the fact that I never tried to use my beak for manipulative objects.
So when I try to hit its eye, it just bites the stick and breaks it.
Did you break my stick?! Don’t you know it took me 5 seconds to find this stick?!
Ah, this armadillo is really making me mad.
You know what, there’s only one solution now… Suzy, where are you!? Come help me!!
I turn my gaze to the battlefield and find Suzy, without a problem, fighting Gabel.
It seems that she also noticed the great weakness of that armor, since she just keeps pushing him to the ground, instead of trying to punch or kick.
I wonder if this is still a fight…
I look back at the armadillo again and realize that it will soon reach me.
Well, I think I’m going to have to work this out on my own.
As I stand, watching the armadillo climb, it finally arrives at the part I’m on.
So you made it… But it’s a shame that you can’t defeat me, since I trained with that girl who is bullying your master!!
I change my posture to the one Suzy usually uses.
Seeing this, the armadillo also seems to feel my pressure and becomes serious. It slowly approaches me with its big body.
As soon as he comes close to try to attack me, I put some strength on my leg and jump… To the other branch.

With the pressure of my jump and the weight of the armadillo, the branch I was on starts to crack until it breaks.
And so, the armadillo fell from the tree and, although it didn’t hurt much because it had turned into a ball, it started to be afraid of going up again.
You know, I wanted to use what Suzy taught me, but…
I start to think, looking at the stunned armadillo.
What she taught me is useless.
That was the purest truth that I arrived after all those days of training.
I don’t have human arms to do the same strikes as hers and my center of gravity is totally different, so I can’t fight like her.
Seeing the armadillo no longer seems to want to climb, I look around.
That’s why… I must run!
This was the best time to escape, as there was no one to obstruct me.
In addition, I could escape by jumping from tree to tree.
So I jump towards a nearby tree…
And, before I can hold on to the branch, a hawk catches me with its claws.
