Chapter 68: A Joyful Reunion

Monsters are roaming around in the forest, but Haku ignores them and runs through the forest at a great speed. Due to its position with the sun, the forest takes on an eerie appearance when the sunlight does not reach the ground.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that ghouls and other creatures are roaming around, all black as if they were burnt. They had traveled a considerable distance and had found several ghoul corpses by this point.

‘As expected, it’s the elf’s doing. But, isn’t she still a kid?’

“Kuna was quite good with a bow when I met her a long time ago. She’s a bit of a genius. Her partner, Punini, is also a special individual, he can spit poison”

‘I guess they won’t get done in so easily then. The smell is getting a lot stronger now’

“I see. Then they should be here somewh… Oya?”

Shion and Haku spotted something strange in the distance and extended their gazes ahead.

Kuna’s POV

At the end of the road, where the shrubbery is thriving, there is a square where the resistance had camped. There was one guard in front of the tent where the elven woman was trapped, and all the other men and women were outside.

A large group of people gathered in the square and started shouting wildly.

There were twenty of them, almost all of them armed and surrounding the deadly enemy that had attacked them.

However, some of them had already been knocked down and killed. They were pale and shouting angrily, probably because their friends had been killed.

“We’re goin’ ta make you regret eva’ attacking us!”

“Damned Elf! I’m going to rip you apart right now and drug you so you can’t fight back and make a mess of you!”

They were obsessed with intimidating their opponent, with lines that anyone would be able to identify as bad guys in one shot.

Now, who attacked them? Of course, its Kuna and Punini. Originally, Kuna was supposed to quietly finish off the enemy from a distance, but after witnessing the scene of a village acquaintance being put into a tent while being beaten by men, she lost her temper and rushed forward.

As a result, is this disadvantageous situation.

‘Hmm, we’re in a bit of a pickle-puni’

“I’m sorry, I went rampage without thinking…”

‘Well, it can’t be helped-puni. I mean, I’m also here, so it will be alright-puni’

Kuna is good at medium to long-range, so being surrounded by many people in a circle is bad for her. That’s where Punini comes in.

‘PTEW’

Punini let a round of spit fly from his mouth and splashed it on the faces of some of his enemies. It only got on their skin, but it still had the effect of causing severe pain.

“Uaaaghh, that hurts, damn slime, what did you do to me ……”

‘We’re desperate, too-puni. We’ll never lose-puni!. Ptew, Ptew, Ptew, Ptew — Kuaaaagghhh!?’

“PUNINI!”

Punini did his best to fight back, but the enemy attacked all at once and captured him. Kuna was also held down by several people, and soon her wrists were tied up tightly with ropes.

The enemy was also quite pissed off and hit Punini repeatedly.

‘Don’t touch Kuna. You can hit me as many times as you want-puni’

“Hmph! I’ll do it even without you asking! ORAORAORAORA!”

‘Ouch! ow, ow, ow, ow’

Every time he is hit, Punini screams in pain. But the truth is, it doesn’t hurt that much. He had a high tolerance for blows, and the men were holding him down as they punched to prevent him from escaping, so he was not in a position to exert any force.

In other words, it was acting.

‘Ouch, that hurts-puni. I’m dying-puni’

“…”

‘Ouch! ow, ow, ow… ah’

When you’re screaming even though you’re not getting hit, the enemy will realize that their hit was not working at all.

“Should I just kill him?”

“That’s the best. We’ll just play with that elf over there”

“No, please don’t. I’ll do whatever you say. Punini is my precious friend”

Kuna made a strong appeal, but the enemy didn’t seem to listen.

One of them lifted the slime and put it in front of him, while the other was ready to thrust into it. Punini tried to attack with poison, but he couldn’t do anything because they threatened to kill Kuna if he did.

‘…Kuna, goodbye-puni’

“What are you talking about? No, you can’t. Don’t worry about me, just attack!”

‘I was a happy-puni …… I was a child wandering alone in the forest when my family died, and I’m grateful to you for saving me-puni’

“Finished with your last interaction? Then die”

‘Yes, I’m going to die. ………… Ah, so this is the world of death. It’s dark, I can’t see anything’

“It… it’s suddenly dark!! What the hell happened!!!????”

‘Huh?’

Punini stared blankly in the darkness. He thought he had died because his vison had suddenly turned black, but when he thought about it, there was no pain. The thought occurs to him that he might not die …… from a single stab with a sword.

Before he could wonder why it was suddenly night, screams reached him from all directions, and finally from the man who had captured Punini.

As soon as he thought he was safely released, his vision returned to normal. The light had returned to the forest. The scene had changed from complete darkness to normal.

The enemies were all laying on the ground, face under. Instead, a handsome man in jet-black clothing and a hulking fox with shining, glossy white fur made their entrance.

“Oh dear, I didn’t want to use this technique too much because it consumes a lot of magic power”

At the sound of a familiar voice, Punini and Kuna looked at each other and their eyes rolled up like a full moon.

‘SHI, SHI, SHI, SHI, SHI, SHION-PUNININININI!!!!!??????’

“Master… Master, is that you—————???”

Kuna and Punini were so excited to see each other again after several years that they forgot everything and went into a frenzy.
