Maybe it's for…. Nah, if I saw correctly, the curse only limits his memory, not his instincts, maybe it's just in its nature?
Oh well, anyway, I think I still owe him a debt, even though I have been taking care of him all night, it would be cruel of me to let him wander without memories and helpless.
I have no choice, right in the field of magic I can do nothing, at this moment I can do nothing but rely on this feeling of mine, and hope that "she" will be there and can help us,
If I am right, I will entrust V to her care, and I…. I…. I well….
I do not know.
Tch. Don't think about it, now you are with him, try to prove yourself strong Rosie, in the end, he saved you from certain death, and it's your turn now. Though probably for a little while, now you have someone to talk to, come on.
Yup,
“Cough, Cough. ERm. " Rosephira tried to get the attention of V, who at that moment was observing the forest to pass the time.
"Our destination is" Faraday ", it's refuge city which is located in ... .. well, I really don't have a precise idea, however, I know the way, hopefully, we should get there in exaggerating a month, on foot. Unfortunately, my wings are destroyed, otherwise, we could have gotten there in a couple of weeks. Anyway, I know a very knowledgeable Mage, if everything goes as I imagine, she should be able to help you. "
huh, convenient.
This part of the forest was much denser than the previous one, however, you could see the road quite clearly,
It was undeniable that this part of the forest was much sunnier, the colors were much more vivid, although I'm not sure if it's actually the forest or my eyes still bland.
We kept walking, for quite a while I think, I was not really careful here, I think I fell asleep subconsciously for at least a couple of times, woken up only by the noise produced by Rose's tail that was crawling on the ground due to its length and the occasional twinges affecting my legs.
Speaking of Rosephira, she hasn't opened her mouth for quite a while, on the contrary she seems a little bit off, so to speak, extremely upset.
Well, maybe it's better this way, even if it bothers me a little, she died like this on the spot, and went from putting our lives at risk against a pair of slimes just to make a scene to walking with terrifying seriousness.
Mhe, I don't care, in the end, She is only my bodyguard, if we want to put it in polite terms, she just has to protect me until we get to our destination.
I don't care about her.
Mhhh…..
Oh, come on, I'm feeling guilty.
I have to do something, but what?
Mhhh….
She likes to talk doesn't she? I have to try to open a conversation, maybe I could also get some useful information.
I sneaked up to her, and with a finger I touched her thigh, no response or reaction, in fact, my finger almost broke, it seemed to be ticking on a brick wall,
God damn I hadn't given it too much weight until now, not even a bodybuilder, I could identify every single muscle in her body with just one glance by how much she's built, in fact, if it weren't for the face and hair she wouldn't even look like a woman, and no, what she has on her chest cannot be defined as "breast", I would call them more pectoral than anything else, in fact I don't understand why she wasted herself covering them with that black band.
Anyway.
I sprinted forward a bit, trying to get past her, in the meantime, I also raised my hand to try to get her attention.
It didn't take me long however to realize that perhaps that wasn't the best of my ideas, especially when I failed to feel the ground beneath my feet,
Oh no….
“HUh, V!!?!?”
I felt a strong backlash hit my entire body, starting with the arm I had raised,
I was hanging in midair,
Below me several meters away was a valley,
at my feet was a river flowing from a cave.
I looked up, Rose had managed to take me by the arm.
"What the hell were you thinking?!" Rose screamed concerned,
"Uagh, apparently we have already arrived on the other side"
“Hug, I remembered this hill lower. Wait a moment"
Rose pulled me up with little effort, and then hugged me to her as she hurled herself down the hill.
"Fiuu, the river, are we really that close to that place ?, fantastic!"
that…. place ... huh? ..
still shaken, and confused I turned to Rose,
Yes, she got back on. And here I was worrying for her...
Rose rose abruptly, and sprinted forward, sitting down on the bank a few inches from the stream bank.
"Oh, I remember this valley, it was here that i was ambushed and almost killed"
Wow, from zero to a hundred in half a second, yeah.
Rose got to her feet, and pointing in the direction the stream gushed she said,
"In that direction there is a city that I recently visited, I even met the mayor. We could stop there for the night, although I'm not sure if they'll be happy to see me again. "
Well, the night is still far away, Wait, how is the sun?
I looked up above me, I was almost blinded by the light, as a result I put my hand in front of my eyes, leaving tiny slits between my fingers open to let a minimum of light pass through,
the sun was in the center of the sky, had half a day already passed? no, less, when we left the sun had already risen completely,
Mhh…..
Nah, I'm overestimating myself, I wouldn't have been able to make this journey alone, better not think about it.
We started walking again following the river,
the road was barren for now, a gigantic valley full only of weeds and tall grass, even if from the distance it was possible to see that several meters away the forest was starting again, in such a thick way that the river, which entered the forest, it almost seemed to disappear.
We had been back in the middle of the forest for a while now, nothing interesting to tell the truth, except the trees, trees everywhere, almost touching, but after all it's a damm forest, what can I expect.
If before the road was at least passable now neither, even Rose was having trouble walking, at one point she turned to me to check if I was okay after tripping, which is quite wholesome in and of itself, except the part when she hit a branch with her head and almost fell unconscious seconds later.
My point is, being in the forest means not even being able to breathe at moments while being near the river means being in close contact with the fish.
This until,
"Hei V, look!!" iheard Rose shout enthusiastically as she pointed across the river.
There was a difference in height, across the river you could see various stumps of cut trees, the road was also visibly cleaner,
"It would be better to go that way, don't you say?"
I nod in approval,
"Then I go"
Rose took a run and jumped across the river to the other side.
Mh ... Now, I have a doubt, how can a spit of one meter and something like me cross such a "wide" river,
I don't know if I can swim, but I don't think this is a good time to find out.
Fortunately, I realized that there were some large stones in the river, very detached and disconnected, and most likely slimy, but better than nothing I suppose.
Taking note of my persistent weakness, however, very painfully I pulled back, took a run, a strong inhale and left, jumping and landing disastrously on the first stone, it was slippery but not too much, I was able to stay on it firmly,
I did the same with the second, and then with the third, jump after jump I finally reached the sixth and eighth.
There was still a last stone missing before reaching the other side, already at first sight there was something strange, it was not gray and mossy like the others, but it appeared black and with a kind of coat on top, similar to the mane of a horse.
Was it some kind of creature, or a corpse? bha, it didn't matter, the important thing was to reach the other side,
abruptly, I jumped on the strange rock, landing perfectly.
…..
…..
Well.....
Nothing happened, maybe I was just complicating a nonsense, hah,
now it was enough to make a last effort and ... ..
The earth began to shake, the ground beneath me…. it… .. IT WAS MOVING !!
“V!?!”
Suddenly I threw myself at Rose,
the ground was crumbling and the river was starting to overflow.
From that "rock" a gigantic creature was emerging from the water.
