Chapter 44: A Monster Comes to the Farmland
Sui made an eerie remark. She said that even from the Demon Dragon Sui, it had an incredibly powerful magical power.
It was hard to believe that such a creature would be present in this kind of land, though I suppose nothing is too surprising when it comes to the land.
If it were a weak monster, we could leave it be, but dealing with a powerful one would be dangerous.
Living peacefully here seems impossible.
"Alright, Sui. Let's get closer. I want to know the true nature of this monster, and if it's dangerous, I don't want to leave it be."
"Knowing the enemy is important. I'll come with you. It might turn into a fight."
Together with Sui, we approached the monster while hiding in the farmland, trying not to be noticed.
We approached, and our eyes met with the monster.
"Sui, what is that?"
"No way! It's...!!"
Sui's reaction was quick.
It didn't seem like a good reaction.
She acted as if she recognized the monster, but I had no knowledge of it.
"I know you're hiding there. What will you do if you come out?"
It was the monster speaking.
Can it communicate?
Just like Sui, it's a conversing monster.
Some monsters have high intelligence and are often referred to as high-ranked monsters.
Did Sui communicate with them from the beginning?
If that's the case, then I can assume this monster is also of high rank.
"You... You've been found out."
"Yes, the monster has already confirmed both me and Franz-sama, so there's no point in hiding."
Since there was no point in hiding from the monster, I revealed myself.
Together with Sui, we approached quite close to it.
I could sense that it had considerable magical power.
When I got closer, I felt the magic being forcibly drawn into my body.
It's the magical power Sui mentioned.
"Who are you? Do you have any business on my farmland?"
I spoke to the monster because I knew it could communicate.
"Yes, I do. There is a very, very pleasant scent coming from your house."
It was a monster in the form of a dog.
Perhaps that's why it was lured by the scent.
Speaking of the scent, maybe it was the cooking I did yesterday that stimulated the monster's nose.
"You must be Fenrir, right?"
"Sui knows about it."
"I don't know the details, but it seems to be Fenrir."
