Magical Adventure Book

[Chapter 10-1] And It Turns

Not a second after Artapatu called out to him, The silver wolf came out through the dark burrow with fierce squinted eyes. It looks how upset he is when he looks at me. It must be that the monster still holds a grudge because of yesterday's events.

"Come, do. You just pass it enough to get to the destination. It's good to be friends with him."

So much of his talk. If I could be friends, I would have done it since yesterday. But, how is it possible? Look at that mood of your cute pal right now!

My back is pushed by Artapatu. Slowly, but able to make me stand up and start walking closer to the wolf. As if to drain the courage anyway, to face the savage obstacles in plain sight.

Slowly I step. Doubt and trembling. At the center of the dome room, my steps stopped. It was a fear that grew so big.

"Wrench!"

The giant wolf ran without a cue approaching me!

I turned around and followed running that second as well. Escape from his fangs and sharp nails, which are ready at any time to tear the flesh in my body.

"Please!" I asked while staring at Artapatu.

It's ridiculous! He laughed, without any intention of helping me. Oi! Did you really want to feed me to that beast from the beginning!?

Diving into the pool? Too shallow. Cowering in the wall niche? It's the same as putting yourself up for it.

The artapatu! Yeah, correct. He's my way out now. His good friend it would be impossible to attack if I took cover behind the old man. Even if it was still reckless, I would bet, he would subvert that ferocious wolf with just a single swing of the hand.

His savage barking was getting closer. I'm trying to speed up the pace. Anyway it should get to where the old man was, before the wolf's snout devoured me.

"Ah .. I seem to be interrupting your reunion. It's good I get out of the way first. Have fun."

That's what he said, before disappearing in a blink of an eye from before me.

Goddamnit! Why didn't you feed me to him from the beginning? Reunion and make friends how, hey! He's not going to play chases like I used to do with Woofy. The giant wolf was about to prey on me! Make me a snack!

Enough's enough! I can't take it anymore! Been tired of lingering through obscure stories in this damned book! Just eat me! Maybe that way, I can get out of here and go back to my world. Meet Dad, Mama, and Chiya. But at least give me time to prepare for death, God damn it!

"Stop!" I nodded unconsciously.

Huh huh? Something is strange. I took a step, then looked back. Spontaneous I was flabbergasted.

The silver wolf stood in its place. Panting with tongue out. As if obeying my orders to stop chasing.

Slowly, still filled with fear, I tried to approach him. At that moment, I had an absurd thought in my head.

"Sit down!" my orders.

Without hesitation, he complied. Bending his back legs, with a sparkling look looked at me.

Not satisfied, I gave the order again. "Sleep!"

Next, I resignedly followed the strong urge to extend my hand, in order to stroke his head. Warmly spread out as my palm touched her soft silver feather.

Uh ... why this? Suddenly my tears melted. Down from the edge of the eye, moisten the cheeks, without being able to be dammed. Tingling tightness that hit the chest. It was as if there was a bubbling taste, before it broke apart.

"Woofy?" I said softly, which was probably driven by Sam's consciousness.

"Wrench!" He replied with a salakan. This time, however, there was no fear. Cheerful happy even.

Wush! The large silver-haired body glowed dimly, but warmly, to then be broken into strands that eventually evaporated away in the air.

After all the magic was over, in front of me stood an adorable little brown-haired dog. Exactly the same as 11 years ago when father was taken away-father Sam precisely-to avoid the death penalty from the kingdom.

"Woofy!" call me again. I grew increasingly powerless to hold back the cries, and finally realized that the pressing feeling was Sam's longing for his beloved pet dog. I just let it all flow. I am also relieved not to be prey to the giant wolf jejadian.

"Your woof!" Woofy barked as he ran to welcome my embrace.

"Finally. After a long wait all your waiting paid off, buddy. Now you don't have to be lonely waiting for your master to come pick you up." Artapatu suddenly appeared near us. Smiling, as if he knew what was going to happen.

"Ja-so all this time ...."

"Haha. Yeah, about eleven years ago, your father left him to me. He said, whatever I want, as long as he doesn't come back home. Huh ... Hard enough to give him understanding, until several times I looked for him because I ran away."

"Then, why would Woofy be like that? Turned into a giant wolf, and remained in his form as a small dog? After all these years have passed."

"It will take a long time if I explain it, temporarily, aren't you in a hurry to complete your mission? All I can say is, it could happen because of your affection."

I don't care if he explains it or not. The important thing is that my life is safe, and Sam can meet his beloved dog again. End thing.

"Can I bring Woofy?" Good idea, Sam. If together with Woofy who can be transformed into a mighty giant wolf, of course our task to defeat the dragon will be easier thanks to his help.

"From the beginning, he was yours. I'm just taking care of her until you come to pick me up."

If I could, right now I'd be soaring with excitement. It's the same half of my work has been done. Got a strong favor, and a powerful weapon. Guarantee I can complete the mission with resplendent brilliance.

"Ah yes. About the weapons you promised." Impressed to be disrespectful. But I say that more to the impulse of curiosity. Wanted to see what weapon he promised.

"Just calm. I've brought it in from the beginning."

The frail hand that held the great power was slipping to the back of the body. Moves, trying to reach out and grab something stored there.

I imagine, later he will brandish the weapon while saying his name. Like a robot cat with a magic bag.

"This is your gun, son. Defeat the darkness that has long enveloped this kingdom and continent. Rest assured you can do it."

"Huh!? What the fuck!" my chirps are spontaneous, with my mouth gaping.
