I draw my 1911, flick the safety off, and aiming at that black figure.
It's obviously not human. I can see something resembling an ear on its head.
It's starting to walk slowly to us.
A sound that I thought was just a tree branch rubbing together, start to remember a growl of a beast.
A silhouette that getting clearer obviously reveals fur on its entire body.
A palm that I thought of having a very long claw, is actually a finger that soo long it breaking a proportion of a palm of any animal out there.
And it keeps taking a step that is too close for comfort
BANG!
I shot it!
It stops moving. I shot my first real gun and it hit it!
[Grrrr... ARGH!!!]
BANG!! BANG!!
It's running closer!
BANG!! BANG!! BANG!! BANG!!
Keep getting closer!
BANG!!
[kaing!!]
It drops. Did I kill it?

[DID YOU KILL IT??] Andreas
[Let's just get outta here!] Me
I got its head in that last shot.
But is it dead?
I shot a full magazine into that thing so I won't be surprised if even a shot to the head didn't kill it.
Let just run!

[[huft.. huft]]
[I think we're far enough.] Val
[What is that thing anyway!] Andreas
[Did you manage to kill it, Dean?] Val
[I don't know. And I wouldn't dare to check it. Let's just go to Dasi as fast as we can.] Me
-------------------------------------------
In Dasi
[Are you sure it's a lycan?] Rando
We manage to arrive at Dasi village safely.
After we inform the guard about that lycan we encounter, he immediately suggests us a meeting with a village elder named Rando.
[It has a dog ear, fur, really long finger, and its growl.] Me
[It seems to be lycan alright.] Rando
[So what do we do now chief?] Villager
[Young man. You're a mercenary right? Can you receive a request?] Rando
[Depends.] Me
I don't want anything to do with that lycan again.
But on the other hand, my arsenal certainly lacking right now that I'll be in danger if I need to meet something like that again.
[As you tell me, you aren't sure if that lycan is dead or not. I intend to send someone to town to recruit mercenaries to make sure it is dead. But before that, I'm worried about the safety of people here.] Rando
Lycan might implore grab and hide strategy to get their victim. But, with it suffer a loss that time, it might getting agitated that it'll go to wreak havoc in a nearby village.
[Three days. Help us protect our village for three days starting tomorrow while I sent someone to town. The payment is 5000G.] Rando
Wait, 5000G? Is it not too high?
But if you think about it, if my 1911 with 8000G pricetag is considered as a bare minimum but a decent piece of firearm, it may be equivalent as a decent piece of a short sword in this world, so then 5000G is not too high after all.
[I accept. But I want the pay upfront if you can ] Me
5000G is not near enough to buy something that I think can kill that lycan. But at least I can buy a lot of ammo so I can dump it leisurely to that thing.
[No problem. I'll lead you to our inn so you and your companion can rest for tonight.] Rando
