Teiko stood up and approached Silica and Akeiko but he fell to the group instantly.
“Teiko?! You’re also bleeding! What should I do?” Silica said.
Akeiko looked at Teiko and struggled to speak. She said, “Teiko, don’t push yourself. Let’s just let Silica find someone for help. I’ll cast another Ground Splitter so there would be no other beasts that would approach us.”
“No! Don’t do that, reserve your remaining strength to endure the pain,” Teiko said.
“If only I made my action faster, then this should not have happened,” Silica said.
“It’s not your fault, Silica. You killed half of the Savage Bears so it’s far from being your fault,” Teiko said.
《Greater Salvation》
《Greater Healing》
Light particles appeared enveloping both Akeiko and Teiko.
“Saki!” the three exclaimed.
“You’re hopeless without me,” Saki said.
“Thank you so much, Saki!” Silica cried out.
“Teiko-nii, your bleeding is still not cured so don’t move too much. I’ll wait for the cooldown of my skill but it takes six hours to refresh,” Saki said.
“I see, but my strength was restored and Akeiko is fully healed. You’re a lifesaver, Saki,” Teiko said.
“Thank you, Saki. But how did you find us here, you’re just in knick of time,” Akeiko said.
“Actually, I made a mistake. I didn’t detect the Savage bears because they’re too far and I didn’t know that you would travel this far. I overheard that the reason that they couldn’t find wild animals here is because of the savage bear. The villagers realized that you go hunting on your own so they tried to find you, they tracked you and I followed them,” Saki explained.
“That mean that the hunters are also here?” Silica asked.
“Yup, but I left them behind since I heard the growl of the savage bears in the distance. They will be here soon, but you guys are amazing, I didn’t know that you could defeat the sleuth of savages,” Saki said.
“Sleuth?” Teiko asked.
“A group of bears,” Akeiko said.
“Everyone knows that, why are you asking, Teiko?” Silica said.
Wait? Is that normal knowledge? Bears are extremely rare so there’s no way that it's normal knowledge. They’re just making fun of me. Anyway, I’m so glad that Saki found us. Teiko thought.
“I’m just kidding, of course I know about that,” Teiko said.
“Silica! Teiko! Akeiko!” Helson shouted in the distance.
“They’re here,” Akeiko said, then stood up.
“Village Chief!” Silica shouted back.
The village chief and the other hunters were shocked by what they saw. A terrain that has many holes and cracks and ten savage bears lying in front of them.
The village chief and the hunters approached them.
“Did you guys do this?” Helson said.
“I’m sorry, Sir Helson. I damage the terrain here,” Akeiko said.
“Yeah, but what I mean is defeating the Savage Bears,” Helson replied.
Teiko also stood up and said, “Yes, we defeated them though half of the bears were killed by Silica.”
“Teiko! You’re wounded,” Helson exclaimed.
Helson looked at the hunters. He said, “Hunters! Aid them quickly.”
The hunters take a look at Teiko’s wound.
“Village Chief, this is not a normal wound, we need to go back to the village to ask our alchemist for help,” one of the hunters said.
“Oh, we forgot to bring him with us since we’re in a hurry,” Helson said.
“Can we bring him to the village before anything bad happens?” Silica asked.
“It seems that our new hero didn’t lose too much blood, we can make it to the village,” one of the hunters said.
“Alright, then let’s go already,” Helson said.
“The only problem is that Teiko should endure the pain, that kind of wound is excruciating and some people go insane even with only thirty minutes of experiencing it,” one of the hunters replied.
“It’s fine, I can endure this thing. It’s nothing for me, let’s go back to the village. Sorry for making you worry guys and thank you for finding us,” Teiko said.
“If that’s what you said, Teiko,” Helson said.
“What about the savage bears, village chief? They said that their meat is very delicious, but it might be scavenged by other animals if we let it here,” one of the hunters said.
“I’ll store them in my inventory,” Akeiko said.
Everyone aside from Teiko’s party was shocked.
“How can you do that, Miss Akeiko?” Helson said.
《Dimensional Storage》
Akeiko stores the savage bears’ corpses one by one in her inventory.
“That’s amazing, I never knew that something like that existed,” Helson said.
The hunters murmured in amazement.
“That solves everything, let’s depart from this place and go back to the village. We got so much to do,” Helson said.
They travelled for one and a half hours to return to the village. They immediately went to the Alchemists laboratory to ask for help.
“Good afternoon, everyone! It’s rare to have someone visit my laboratory,” the alchemists said.
“Mia, we need some help. Our hero’s son is in grave danger!” Helson said.
“Sir Helson, what are you saying? I’m still fine,” Teiko said.
“Ohh, he’s the one being rumored. Tell me what happened,” Mia said.
“He has a bleeding status, if you’re an alchemist, you should know about this and you might have some cure for this,” Akeiko said.
“Oh, so you’re familiar with the status effect, huh? I know about that and I know what to do,” Mia said.
“Really? Thank goodness,” Helson said.
“But I need one hour to procure the potion. I want all of you to leave Teiko to me, I’ll apply some medicine so he wouldn’t suffer too much from it,” Mia said.
“Thank you, Mia,” Silica said.
All of them left Teiko in the alchemist’s laboratory.
“Didn’t I say I want everyone to leave?” Mia said.
“Oh-ho, so there’s another being in this village that could see me?” Saki said.
“No wonder everyone is calm even with your presence, Demigod Saki,” Mia said.
“And you know who I am, that’s a beast for you,” Saki said.
“Beast, what are you saying Saki?” Teiko asked.
Mia turned herself into a beast, a humanoid being that has ears of a feral cat, arms that have fur of a cat, claws as sharp as knives and a tail. The clothes she’s wearing were torn out but are still functional.
Is this what beasts are? I thought she would be scary! That’s freaking cute. Teiko said.
