“ haaaa “
I took a deep breath, inhaling such fresh air while sitting under the towering tree to the top.
There is little sunlight that is able to break through the dense lush foliage up there. Only one gap but still means, although one point I am grateful to be able to feel the warmth of the sun this morning.
The fog kept spreading around me, indicating I still had to keep fighting to be able to feel again what the sunburn felt like..
I've missed him...
“ bro are you there ? “ heard a male voice from behind me that I thought was no stranger, even though I still considered him a stranger.
“ Yes.. I'm relaxing a little.., do you feel like someone is hurt in your body ? “
the man then just sat right next to me holding my shoulder like a brother
“ only my chest was bruised by the dog monster's blow. I guess I was dead.., "he said with one hand holding his chest
it was a very difficult night... “
he began to take a deep breath until he raised his head up, held his breath in his chest and threw it away. “ Ahhh ... Such refreshing air, I'm lucky to still be able to live “
“ If it were you, I would hope otherwise.. “
“ Eeeh ?? You expect me to die, bro..? You're so cold “ he stares at me while saying that to me with his hands holding his chest
“ uh bro... What are you wearing around your neck..? What is a scarf ? “ Curiously he started trying to hold the tiger skin that was on my neck.
“ Don't touch him. “ he stopped instantly when I forbade him to hold my scarf.
Then when I saw it stuck I continued my words. “ this could have been damaged when you held it.. “
“ haaaah ??. I think there is poison or the like. you are indeed. haaa “
While checking the scarf I was wearing he continued asking
“ what is it made of tiger skin?., where did you get it bro? “
When he asked like that. There's no way I'm saying that I killed a tiger by myself. I don't want to be considered high in the eyes of these people.
“ I found it in the middle of the road. Someone may have dropped it “ I told him.“what about the other situation ? “
“ you look cold outside but warm inside huh bro.. "
“ humm ? Meaning ? “
I did speak to him but I did not look at him. I was just facing forward with one arm above my knee that I raised.
“ yes..., though you yourself may be injured but you even ask other circumstances.. “
“ Don't get me wrong.., I'm just curious, maybe I'll be happy if any of you are seriously injured ? “
while facing towards him beside my right I asked “ how do you know I was injured ? “
He was silent without twitching as I looked into his eyes seriously..
“ where did you hear it from ? “ more for me
Nervously he started scratching his back head and took his eyes off me..
“ I heard a little from clara. “ she replied
Until now I have not even met clara. I have also told marissa and Rara not to tell the others that I made the monster retreat
“ You lied.. “ my question by pulling a collar on his shirt.
“ Yes.. Yeah.. ? “
it was obvious that he was making up stories, especially from his nervous expression while scratching his cheek with one forefinger
“ you know. I hate it the most when someone lies to me, I don't like any reason behind the lie “
“ bro.., I'm sorry. “ her answer raised both her hands to chest level.
Looking at the stupid expression on his face it seemed like he was telling the truth.
yeah I don't think it's a problem with this guy being around me either. He once defended me when others couldn't believe it, even though he was a little noisy.
“ is fine.., but next whatever it is, it is better to be honest but painful than to lie for a temporary gain.., and again do not say this to others “
“ Ready bro.., “ answers shrug, puff up the chest while paying respect.
“ That's not the way to salute.., no one salutes with a sitting attitude.. “
he who heard me stood up and began to do what I said..
“ ready bro “ once again he saluted like a military force
“ tsk.., you are yes. should not always follow my words”
“ eeh wrong again bro ? “
I held a smile for the silliness of the person beside me..
“ why do you want to keep your abilities a secret, bro? “
“ I just don't want to show it to some people.. “
“ you mean doni ? “ Ask back who is sitting next to me
“ May.. ? “
It's clear from anywhere that I don't like that guy..
“ cih.., doni it's actually nothing bro.., I don't like it either. If you want I can beat it up for you right now ! “
With a look of serious face nico clenched one hand then hit the palm of the other hand to support me..
“ no.. no need.. I am not that arrogant person. For now let him do whatever he wants. Besides I've already hit him once “
“ cih.., at that time I was really upset to see his behavior that the bar-bar wanted to hit you then tried to kill you.., Though with one pat by the dog monster he immediately fell unconscious “.
“oh really ? “
“ Yes.. bro.., and also.”
nico started to put a serious face towards me. Like he wanted to do something stressful
“ do you know about the monster that last night bro?., he suddenly appeared attacking us and screaming your name.”
“ hmm. I also don't know, why he called my name like such a vengeful person. But once I asked him “ were you ramon ? “ she murmured as replied yes “
“ ra.. ramon ? “
“ humm.., have you met any undead or other strange creatures while in this forest ? “
“ undead ?! “
judging from nico's expression, it seemed like he had yet to find those zombies
“ Yes.. I have several times faced with the undead in the depths of the forest to the west from here”
Nico was immediately stunned shuddering as I said that in front of him..
“ This forest holds many mysteries in it. Until now I don't know why the undead popped up and also ramon turned into a dog man “
“ undead what's it like bro ? “
“ it.. As long as I have seen until now, they rose from the corpses of the pirates who are chasing us. Like in zombie movies. crushed face, wide eyes even keep moving even though his head rolls on the ground “
“ Hiiih.. ! It was so scary. I don't want to meet with it bro. really “.
“ you're really lucky. no. rather you haven't found it “.
“ Arckkk ! “ a strange cry of nico comes out of his mouth along with a hand touching his right shoulder
