Chapter 17 - Silence Brings Madness

“Then… I’m off” [Hosea]

“Hosea!” [Lan]

“Hm?” [Hosea]

“Until we see each other again, please take care” [Lan]

“…” [Hosea]

“…” [Lan]

“Pffft” [Hosea]

Suddenly, Hosea burst out into laughter

“Hah~ hah~ you’re probably the only person who worries about a god’s safety” [Hosea]

AaaaaaAaaa so what? She maybe strong but… I’m still worried… She’s the first one who treated me as a person ever since I arrived here after all

“Don’t worry Lan. Not even the gods can slay me” [Hosea]

“R-really…” [Lan]

“You take care Lan. I’ll always be watching you” [Hosea]

“…Until we meet again Hosea” [Lan]

As we bid farewell to each other, Hosea disappeared out of thin air along with all the crucified elves…

Damn she’s awesome.

I involuntarily touched my lips as I recall the spectacle earlier.

Her rose pink lips collided with mine…

That was probably the fluffiest sensation I ever felt my entire life… but-

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

WHAT DID IT MEAN?

I’m amazed and astonished but at the same time I am completely confused… my first kiss was from a goddess… no one would believe me if I had told them…

In any case, I have to get moving now that I’m completely healed…

I still have some rations left so to lighten my load, I ate some before leaving.

I’m still not in the clear on what my specific power is. I get that it surpasses common sense since a drop of blood returned my entire body back to full HP.

I’m excited but at the same time really anxious… this is basically Schrodinger’s cat. It could be a solution or another problem but let’s leave that to the future me.

Above the crevice I where I hid, was a cliff. I focused arcana on my legs then leaped vertically towards the top, my momentum stopped a few feet away so I had to improvise. In mid-air, I twisted my body sideways then focused arcana on my right foot then kicked to change my trajectory, I then landed above the cliff.

I looked back to where I was chased by the elves… as I’ve said before, this forest is enormous. I’ve been here for 2 months but I haven’t seen open land yet.

I decided to change my path with the same destination in mind. I followed the cliff’s trail towards the inner part of the forest.

“Ah…”

After a few minutes of walking, I realized that the path was heading downward and I was back to my usual path…

All that flashy arcana theatrics and I’m back here huh…

I moved forward and about an hour or so, I found some fruits which meant that it was lunch time.

I took some fruits that served as rations then after eating, I was on the move again.

I’ve already made a considerable amount of distance since then but the monsters that usually greet me with a smile on their hideous faces were nowhere to be found… Did Hosea do something about this? Or did her presence scare them all away?

Scary…

It was a pleasant walk, this is the first time in a long time that there was nothing obstructing me from traveling since even back in town, bandits and bastards would milk me clean, mostly my lunch.

Though there are no monsters around, it makes me all the more anxious and alert since they could attack me at any time-

*rustle rustle*

“Ha!”

It was just the wind…

So… yeah…

Whatever sound I heard today alerted me. I was on full sensor mode but that only tired me out… since I never encountered any monsters.

This also meant that there wasn’t any place to sleep nearby since I couldn’t spot a monster’s base without any monsters…

I travelled until morning the next day then finally-

“Aaaaaah…. Home sweet home”

I crashed a monster’s base without knowing what the monsters inside was.

As I slept, something happened but I never knew it until later on so for now let me just…
