Time goes back a bit.
'Master, please take care of me.'
Yeah, okay.
Cain bowed to Yuya and said so.
Cain then became Yuuya's disciple.
''Cain, for now, with your status, I'd say you're about medium weak in this world. You wouldn't survive in this world that long. Go level up a bit. And also, until you complete your training, nothing is allowed to check your status. I also adjusted this world so that you can't use the transference.
In this continent, unlike the world in which Cain lived, high level demons inhabited this continent.
Yuya handed a swing of a sword to Cain.
When I pulled the sword out of its sheath and checked it, it was shining white and silver.
It's a good thing that your iron sword is crawling with demons that can't be cut even through magic power. Take this mithril sword.
Cain put it back in its scabbard and replaced the sword hanging from his waist.
'Thank you, Master, come to think of it, Master, how many levels were you at when Master sealed Aaron?'
At Cain's question, Yuya remembered as she put her hand to her chin.
'That time~. I thought you were about six hundred.'
Even now, Cain was surprised to hear that he was even more than double the level he already thought he was at, even more than the level he thought he was substandard.
'You're still more than double that. I'll do my best.''
'For now, the demons around this house can't be defeated by Cain right now, there are SSS-ranked or higher around here. Even the weaker demons at the outer edge of this continent have an S rank in that world. I'm going to take you to the beach we just arrived at, and from there, you'll have to make your way to this house in the center. Oh, don't fly in, don't fly in.
Cain was taken by Yuya and transitioned back to the beach along the coast.
Yuya then threw the direction indicator to Cain.
When Cain received it, he put it on his hand and looked at the direction indicator and saw that it pointed in one direction.
This is the direction of the house. Get your own supplies, including food. Then I'll wait for you at home.
Yuya said and then shifted and disappeared.
Standing on the sandy beach, Cain stared towards the forest.
Each tree in the forest was dozens of meters tall, and the forest was dim and eerie with only the slightest amount of light shining through it.
'I don't know how far we're going to get, but let's get into it!
Cain stepped into the forest.
He proceeded while using the search. There are signs of demons everywhere, and even demons are fighting with each other. Within five minutes of entering the forest, Cain was found and attacked by the demons.
"Five minutes after entering the forest, it's S-class, huh~. This seems to be a good response.''
Cain puts the four-meter-long Orc King, sliced in half, into the item box and proceeds again. Within a few dozen meters, he would meet another demon again. It was a repetitive process. Sometimes, while I was fighting the monsters, other monsters would attack me.
When we took a break, we dug a hole with magic and took a break there. For meals, we grilled the demons and wildflowers, and used the spices we usually carried with us for camping before we ate them. It was truly a life close to the primitive times.
Cain pointed in the direction that the direction of the direction indicator was pointing, but he still went forward step by step.
And a year passed. However, for Cain, there was no way he could understand the sense of the number of days, as he walked in the direction the direction the compass indicated and fought demons every day repeatedly.
After a year of fighting, Cain's emotions had slipped away. Wandering alone in this dim forest for a year without talking to anyone, anyone would be like that. He was only ten years old, and even if you included his previous life, he had only lived for more than twenty years.
Cain, who remained expressionless, just defeated the demons that appeared, like a machine. That was just it.
As he defeated the demon as usual and put it in the item box, he heard a cry from nearby.
Cain was curious about that cry for some reason, and he naturally turned his feet to it as if he were being called.
As he proceeded, there was a pure white wolf with a body stained with blood, still the size of a puppy.
Its legs were broken and it seemed to have escaped from something while covered in blood, and it was already almost out of strength.
The pure white wolf and Cain looked at each other.
'Kuhn.'
The wolf purred and then bowed his head.
For Cain, who had lived for a year without talking to anyone, it was a healing experience in itself.
He smiled for the first time in a long time, from the expression that had been missing from his face.
For the first time in months, the expression returned to Cain.
Step by step, he slowly approached the white wolf with a smile on his face.
'Alright, are you alright? I'll fix you up now.
With a gentle smile on the white wolf, Cain chants his magic.
''Extra Heel.''
When he cast an advanced recovery spell, the white wolf was enveloped in light and his injuries were quickly healed.
'Body Clean (Clean)'
The little bloody white wolf became a wolf with beautiful white fur.
'Kuhn,'
The white wolf got up and rubbed up against Cain. As it was, it jumped on Cain's face and licked his face.
'Cora cora, tickle me, it's time to eat, do you want to join me?'
Wow.
The white wolf circled around Cain, wagging its tail.
Hearing the wolf's voice, Cain first built a wall around them with magic and then began to cook within it.
'You're better off raw, aren't you? Here's some Oak King meat.
Saying that, I cut the meat into moderately sized pieces and tossed it towards the white wolf. The wolf catches the tossed meat with its mouth and begins to eat it as it is.
It seems to be gone soon, and it stares at Cain's face again and squeals.
'Another one, you can't help it. Here you go.
He brings out the meat again and throws it to the white wolf.
And the white wolf happily starts eating the meat again.
Cain was also eating the roasted meat next to him, watching the white wolf eat.
'Do you want to follow along with me?'
Without thinking, Cain asked the white wolf. It was lonely to be alone, after all.
When Cain spoke to the white wolf, the white wolf stopped eating and looked at Cain's face.
'Wah.'
He only made one purr and started eating again.
'If you're going to come with us, we're going to have to give you a name, it's all white and 'Haku' will do.
Cain said, and the white wolf looked up again and gave a single 'wow'.
'Good! Huck! You're going to have to stick with me.
Then Cain and Haku finished their meal and started walking again in the direction the direction the direction indicator pointed.
Haku was even stronger than he thought he was. Even though he was the size of a puppy, he didn't fear and used his instantaneous power to fight against demons that were already beyond the SS level. He scratched with a speed that even Cain couldn't chase, and in an instant, he bit into their necks.
Cain was relieved that he wasn't alone, his expression no longer slipping away.
Another two years passed as they fought their way through the flattened forest.
In the name of training, it was just a journey to walk in the direction the direction of the direction indicator and defeat the demons.
Haku was already about three meters tall. Even so, he still flirted with Cain.
''Haku. Come on, you're big, you're heavy!
Cain was already thirteen years old, and he was already over a hundred and sixty centimeters tall. His clothes were no longer fitting, so he had to use magic to make them and wear them.
''When on earth will I get it on?''
While saying that, he was enjoying his life with Haku. By this time, I had already entered a zone where demons that seemed to be SSS class were wandering around, and I was diligently slaying demons called training again.
After another year had passed, he saw a light at the end of the forest.
Cain ran through the forest at once, aiming for that light.
At the end of his run, he saw a landscape that looked familiar to him. And at the end of the field was his master's house.
It took us four years to get through this forest.
'We're finally there... !!!!
He runs all the way to the door of the house. Haku is running with me beside Cain.
He opened the door suddenly without knocking.
'Shishou! It's here!
In the living room beyond the door, Yuya, his master, and a strange man were talking together.
'Cain, it's finally here. It's been a long time coming. You've grown up a bit, haven't you? Hmm? Isn't that a godwolf (Fenrir) you have with you?
Yuuya muttered as she looked at Haku, who was over three meters tall.
'Fenrir?'
Cain nodded his head curiously.
''Hmm, it's a race that's also a divine beast. They're just kids, but when they're adults, they'll be over five meters tall.''
'What? Haku is a divine wolf (Fenrir) and a divine beast?
Wow.
Haku shook his head.
'You miss it a lot. That's about the extent of your contract, isn't it?
"Contract?
Now Cain nods his head.
'It's called a summoning contract, and by signing it, you can summon it at any time. It would be something of an inconvenience at that size.
Haku, will you sign a contract with me?
Wow.
'Sounds good, let me just teach you the contract before you start your training.
"'I seek a covenant. Bond in the name of mutual trust! You chant, 'Contract Summons (Contract Summons)'. Answer that and we'll know.
I'll try.
Cain turned to face Haku.
'I seek a contract. A bond in the name of mutual trust! 'Contract Summoning (Contract Summoning)'
At that moment, magic power began to flow from Cain towards Haku.
A magic circle appeared at Haku's feet and Haku was covered and disappeared without a trace.
'Haku's gone!
Don't be so hasty. Summoning "Summoning Haku" will do.
Summon Haku.
At that moment, the floor began to glow and Haku appeared from the magic circle.
''Wah.''
'Oh! It's great. Now we can be together.
Cain was happy to hug Haku.
'I think it's about time.'
The person who called out to me was the man who was with Yuya.
''Oh, excuse me. My name is Cain von Silford.''
'My name is Doran. I'm an old friend of Yuya's. And I've been called upon to train you.
The training wasn't over yet: ....
