“I almost killed stern people.

Whether or not I bruised it, the spirit of the plain snake seemed to be sold for the apricot in front of me. He didn’t even pay attention to the half-seeded apricots and only flicked his tongue at the whole apricots. I’ve felt it before, but he’s a really greedy guy.

Whoop whoosh.

After tapping the water droplets on the surface, the guy opened his mouth wide and immediately swallowed an apricot six or seven times the size of his head.

It took a while for the bottom of his throat to become grotesquely bulging. The snake’s body shrank quickly, as if the air had been blown out of a balloon. It melted the apricot in an instant with its formidable digestive power, which was not suitable for its small body, which was less than 30 cm in length.

“Ugh. I don’t know what the hell you’re doing.”

“Why is there a problem?”

“Then won’t it?”

Ellen, who was sitting across from her to see if she didn’t like something, glanced at the snake and let out a small sigh.

“Don’t you think there’s too little tension to be sticking your head into the dragon’s jaws? What are you going to do by attaching a piece of baggage to a board that would not be enough even if you remove the existing risk factors?” “Hey, what a burden. I hear you.” I made a fuss and plugged the snake’s ears with both index fingers. Of course, considering that snakes don’t have external ears like humans, and that the snake slashed itself with the next piece of meat it targeted, it was a waste of effort.

“Aren’t you in the mood for a joke?”

“Still, keep your mouth shut. Is he smarter than you think?”

“…Let’s not talk.”

I reassured him with a relaxed tone as he shook his head and drank cold water.

“And he’s also quite strong. As long as she maintains this appearance, she doesn’t play a big role other than being cute, but it’s definitely helpful if she just transforms.”

“If you transform, it will be like that. but Poi. Has it ever changed its shape at the moment of need, even once?”

I nodded at once.

“huh. in Direnz. I do not remember?”

“Yeah, just once. When I first came out of the egg almost two years ago.”

The identity of the guy who swallowed the juicy chunks of meat and even the potatoes that Munchi held out was none other than Hrunting.

Hrunting, which was originally a longsword in an archaic form, was said to have turned into a large egg, although it is unknown what kind of harmony it was. A few months later, the egg cracked and a living creature popped out in front of me.

“Well, isn’t it because he is strong in a crisis? After D’Rents, there was no such thing as too much danger… Anyway, if you show ‘that time’ just once during the journey, it’s enough to pay for the meal.”

‘That’s when’ refers to the ability that this snake demonstrated in Direnz the year before last. It clung to Heila, who had deployed the iron-blooded armor, and instantly transformed her into a terrifying and powerful monster, the ‘artist’.

At the time, Haila gained not only long, sharp claws, thick, sharp horns, and a long, flexible tail, but also combat skills based on those transformations. According to her testimony, while wearing the mask of an artist, she was able to perform blood manipulation on a different level than before.

“Instead, I’ll have to take the same risk again and again.”

Is it because I didn’t properly see the majesty of Hrunting at that time? Even though I explained her potential, Ellen still had a sullen look on her face.

“A snake will be added to the red knight’s pet list. It would be better than the bicorns that occupied the top row, but I don’t know if Zacharis and the Patriarch think so too.”

“…Uh, that’s what I see.”

While watching Hrunting’s predation, I turned to Ellen with a sudden thought.

“He looks just like you when I first met him.”

“……me?” “uh.” Ellen’s features were distorted. Considering the fact that his face was smaller than my fist, I made the most of the limited free space to show my reluctance.

Either way, I smiled and continued.

“The potential is great, but it’s also the same as not having any right now. It’s similar to not listening to me even if you die.”

“…Don’t you have a rat? When”

“It’s almost the same that your safety becomes dangerous when it becomes known that you have it around you. Isn’t it the same as being cute enough to take that risk?”

Steedman, who was drinking beer, pretended to vomit secretly, and Gollman, who was peeling a lemon, gave him a look of reverence. Ellen pursed her pink lips as if at a loss for words, and barely spoke a word.

“…He must be crazy.”

“So please don’t hate me too much. It’s just a guy like you in the past.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Because I know what you want to say.”

Ellen fired coldly at them, muttering unnaturally, “Oh, it’s hot,” and then stood up and left the wooden window open about an inch. He seemed to be trying to hide his reddened cheeks, but he was too slow to avoid my eyes.

“oh. trunnion!”

It was around that time that Hrunting’s meal was over. The group that had been looking for snakes with sparkling eyes called me with an excited voice.

“Dance, dance!”

Looking back at the fuss of the bundle, Hrunting looked like he had overeaten to the extent that his formidable digestive power was colorless, and his lower body was swollen. The guy hissed his tongue, as if in a good mood, while shaking his body from side to side with his head erect.

Mungchi burst into laughter and shook his shoulders at the same time. Hrunting, who was watching the guy’s movements with two pebble-like eyes, shook his body to match the opponent’s rhythm and clapped his hands almost to death.

This was the first time Hrunting had left Heila’s arms.

Just as she had always done when she was in her egg form, Heila took care of him like her own child. Perhaps knowing her sincerity, Hrunting also followed her like a mother.

That’s why, the night before leaving Eisbowald, I was surprised when Heila suggested taking Hrunting with me.

“Are you okay? A child who won’t even eat if I’m with you.”

“Not today. It’s been quite a while.” “…was it grown up?” Heila nodded, stroking Hrunting’s head, which was coiled in a small coil on my chest.

“You’ve shed your skin twice. I’ve grown in my own way, and now I don’t whine meaninglessly.”

“okay?”

“If I’m by your side, I won’t be afraid of falling with you. I explained it well from a month ago.”

As I made a grotesque expression, Heyla blinked and added a comment.

“I don’t know if I fully understand, but I mean.”

“I didn’t know if the two of them could communicate until the end.”

“It’s just a feeling. I feel like he understands what I’m saying… he’s such a clever and mysterious kid.”

“is it.”

“It will definitely come in handy for work in the capital. These days, he transforms as requested. Although it is very rare and only a few forms are allowed.”

“really?”

“huh. Wanna see?”

Heila tapped Hrunting’s nose with her fingertips. The transparent scales, like mucous membranes, parted and black eyes turned to her.

“Now focus.”

Heyla raised her index finger, and the snake’s gaze turned to it. She looked at Hrunting with a somewhat nervous expression and gave the order with a firm voice.

“It turns into a sword.”

As Hrunting flicked his tongue, Heyla repeated the order.

“It turns into a sword.”

shhh.

“hurry. It turns into a sword.”

He seemed to have lost interest and only hissed with his head turned. Heila kept her mouth shut. Then, in a slightly softer tone, he gave a command.

“Can you turn into a sword…?”

Hrunting flicked his tongue a couple of times, then hit my chest again. No, after drawing a circle three or four times, it bit my tail.

Gi Ying.

The moment he closed his eyes, he turned into a bracelet. It was a vivid snake-shaped bracelet that seemed to come to life at any moment – no, it could actually come to life.

When Heila looked down at Hrunting with a savage gaze, I picked up the bracelet and burst out laughing.

“Oh, it’s not the shape of a knife you usually think of.”

“…I’m doing this because I’m shy.”

“okay?”

“okay.”

As if to prove her point, she snatched the bracelet and ordered it again and again.

However, Hrunting did not respond to the end, and I also had no intention of just watching the inanimate person pretending to be insane.

“Hrunting is nice, but we have to say goodbye.”

“No wait. I will teach you things to be careful when taking Hrunting around

.

Every time Heyla tried to say something, I attacked her wildly.

After a while, by the time she closed her eyes and

tiptoed her toes, she seemed to have forgotten what she was trying to say. In the meantime, Heila’s hands were holding on to the bracelet.
