Chapter 23
In the course of looking for dinner, I found myself watching the playful kyuru treat the forest as her home, then a thought crossed my mind; I understand that she is sensitive to emotions. . But how the hell did he know I’m a hunter? When asking the distracted fairy, she replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the universe:
′′ When we made the contract, a voice in my head explained a little about your circumstances; both the fact that you are a hunter from another world and the fact that you are on a mission of some kind.′′
And there you have it, a magical voice told her; nothing strange about it. . . Fuck everything about it is weird, wait a second. . . On second thought, this probably has something to do with the hunter’s book; giving myself a pat on the back, I went through the notebook.
?
As usual, the explanations of the hunter’s book are quite complete leaving some implicit parts here and there. Despite this, I was able to obtain all the information I needed. I hate to admit it but the explanation is correct when it talks about the personality of the hunters (assuming they are similar to me); on the other hand, this function allows us to get help from others as long as they are willing to offer their help.
It seems that even hunters have to work on their social skills, I don’t think it’s a problem for someone like me; social skills are one of my strengths. . . provided that the other party is female; for some reason, I don’t get along very well with other men.
.....
′′That is because you are a damn pervert who cheats on women by acting all innocent. . . and you’re damn handsome; go and fall dead in a ditch.′′
Desmond would swear he heard the universe speak to him again, but he chose to feign insanity and send the universe go fuck itself.
Thinking a bit more about the information he just got, he tried to ask kyuru if she was willing to follow him into his world; the answer he got was quite simple.
′′ Silly Desmond, you are my Guardian and I am your fairy of blessing. . . We will be together until death does us part. ”
Probably due to the possible implications of her words, the little kyuru was so embarrassed that the blush covered not only her little face; it even reached her breasts.
Even I felt a bit embarrassed by the situation, I can only thank the unreasonably aggressive nature of a certain species that I despise that interrupted our conversation.
PSSST!
A powerful water projectile passed me, missing its target by at least 40 cm, they are not only aggressive; they also have poor aim. Someone might wonder why I despise the creature attacking me so much, perhaps the following information will make my motivation clear.
Leaving aside the fact that it is a higher level than the aqua rabbits I have hunted so far, it doesn’t seem to have changed much compared to its predecessors; even in terms of appearance, the only thing different about him is an increase in size and the blue crystal coating on the tips of his ears.
Trying not to get too distracted, I carefully analyzed the Great Aqua Rabbit, I would not let my prejudices cloud my judgment; after all, that’s how most villains in wuxia novels die. And Desmond Astryd will not die a third-rate villain.
PSST!
Dodge his next shot with a little sidestep, the fucking idiot is exactly like the smallest version of him; he just stands there firing his water attacks without a care in the world.
The only peculiar thing about all this is the fact that he doesn’t seem to have any intention of attacking Kyuru, but that’s probably a fairy thing. Clearing all unnecessary things from my mind, I pulled out my gentle fox bow, dodged the next shot from him and my chance came; I quickly took a wooden arrow that I made while waiting for Kyuru to wake up.
The dual elements mana gathered in the arrow faster and more intensely than normal, the arrow acquiring a metallic gray color different from its previous wood color was ready to be fired at any moment; not wanting to see the idiot rabbit act arrogant any longer I just fire.
SWIIIIFT! Puack!
The arrow made a great noise during its flight, but the sound of the impact was not particularly loud; perhaps because it only pierced through the Great Aqua Rabbit’s chest and continued on its way beyond the horizon.
Stuck!
The rabbit could only fall helplessly to the ground as life escaped from his body, I turned to see Kyuru trying to check her reaction but seemed to understand my intentions when she calmly declared.
′′ It is the natural course of things, you are the hunter and he was the prey, that easy; Besides, he attacked you first. ” She just shrugged with a sincere expression.
′′I understand . . . but I did not expect him to be so weak, of course, his reckless and aggressive attitude did not change anything, but I thought It would at least have a little more strength to back it up. “I said feeling helpless at how disappointing it was to complete the most difficult objective of my mission.
′′ Nope, the truth to be told, that is probably the reason why nobody likes those silly rabbits, the only reason why they have not become extinct is that they reproduce very quickly; Added to that, people really like to eat them, because of that, they also try not to hunt them excessively. “Kyuru explained with a strange expression on her face.
Wow to think that their survival method will be based on reproducing non-stop and relying on how much others enjoy eating them. . . truly a pathetic animal.
