Chapter 7 - 7. MEMORY/FIRST HUNTING

POV HYAKKI

After our encounter with the captains, we finally got out of the city and started our journey.

The first thing we will do is go hunting We are now in a field near the zone we chose for our hunting but before we go there I have some questions for Kira, I stop myself "Why did we stop, Something is wrong?" asked Kira but then I questioned her "What did you mean when you said that you love me?"

For a moment she was shocked but got over it and smiled saying "It means that I love you Hyakki, for someone so clever you sure are so oblivious" (What does she mean) "Say what made you fall in love with me? I am not someone who stands up my grades are average I always stay by myself, even now in this new world I have chosen a solitary path than the other, so why me?" I asked her.

POV KIRA

"Because you are incredible"I answered him he seemed shocked, after all, it was impossible for me to not fall for him. I remember clearly, the first time we met.

FLASHBACK 11 YEARS AGO

POV KIRA

I was 5 years old and my family just moved into a new neighbourhood. I didn't know anyone so while my parents were systematic the luggage I went to the nearby park to try making new friends, when I arrived I saw that there were only older kids who were bullying a younger kid I was scared so I tried to go away and get help but the bullies saw me and they stopped me "Where do you think you are going" one of them said "We can't let her go now that she saw us" "Let's teach her a lesson" "Don't think Just because you are a girl we will go easy on you" I was really scared I didn't Know what to do tears where threatening to escape my eyes, but before they could hit me something happened.

SPAM

The kid who was holding me released his hold on me and went down to the ground, Out of nowhere appeared another kid who was glaring at all the bullies "Who you think you are" "Get him, boys." In less than 5 minutes all the bullies were on the ground and he was still standing with heavy breath.

Then he turned around me and asked "Are you ok?" I nodded to him before hugging him and started crying on his shoulder, he hugged me back while also comforting me. When I calmed down I noticed that the other kid who was getting bullied was already gone, I looked at his face and he had some bruises, and was bleeding from the corner of the lip. "You are bleeding, please come to my home I will help-" "That's ok, you better return home now. I will return to mine too, so you don't need to worry." He interrupted me and started going his way but before he could go I stopped him and said "My name is Kira, what's your name?" at least I wanted to know the name of my saviour "Hyakki, that's my name" he is so cool I will remember it so that one day we can meet again.

END FLASHBACK

POV KIRA

After that day I searched for him everywhere until I finally met him in high school, he doesn't seem to remember me, but that's okay I will always stay by his side and I will always love him.

"Let's leave this aside for now and let's go hunting," I said to him trying to change the subject "You're right it's better if we go hunting now," he said as we went to a forest area for our first hunting

BEAST FOREST

POV HYAKKI

When we reached the entrance to the forest I could already feel many animalistic instincts we started to enter the forest I already found something of great use for me 3 corpses of small animals and a few bones we stopped because I wanted to try my new skill. I stretched my hand toward the bones and said [BONE WEAPON CREATION]

It's not much but better than nothing, "Why don't you turn those corpses into summoning?" asked Kira, "Because I have a better plan for them" I said.

we advanced into the forest then we started to hear some growling, out of nowhere 3 wolves appeared they were bigger than normal wolves,

but in this world, they are medium-sized monsters just what I needed.

Kira was getting ready to attack by unsheathing her katanas but I stopped her "Leave it to me. This is what I was waiting for" She reluctantly stepped back but still held her hands on her katanas,

the wolves started to slowly approach us and at that moment I threw the corpses from the inventory at them, then I said [CORPSE EXPLOSION]

All 3 wolves were dead, even if they were bigger than normal wolves attacks like this are still very effective.

In front of me appeared the 3 wolves but they were all black with some red kind of flame all over their body and at the same time their body seemed transparent, and the eyes were like light on fire. With them hunting will become easier.
