Although I went hunting with the little Fenrirs, they certainly are excellent.

Their ability to search for enemies is especially worthy for mention.

Over here, over here

In the blink of an eye, the position of the monster is specified, and I started running there.

I didnt need to act, and it was annihilated.

Its exactly like a search & destroy.

They then held the dead monster in their mouth, and dragged it towards me.

Praise us, praise us

They wagged their tails quickly as they adorably frolic around me, which made me feel warm and fluffy inside.

Nonono, I cant feel warm and fluffy!

Ill have to defeat it!

I caressed the little Fenrirs heads, and while playing with their fluffy throats, I retorted.

Amazing! But please leave some for me.

Also, can you search for strong monsters if possible?

As I requested that of the kids, they imediately said Leave it to us! and broke into a run.

As expected of them, though they are kids, they are Divine Beast Fenrirs.

Their momentum is staggering, my stamina already reached its limits after moving together for just an hour.

Sorry, let me rest for a while

As I sat down, the little Fenrirs once again came to my side, and sat down.

Pet us, pet us

As I petted them, they purred, and shut their eyes in pleasure.

The number of monsters Ive defeated until now is forty.

A lot of them were Forest Apes and Sidewinders, but theres also these guys.

Name: Midnight Mantis

Race: Mantis Family

Gender:

Skills

Strong Arm

Ability

Camouflage

This was a large praying mantis, and I was surprised at it suddenly appearing behind me.

Since the little Fenrirs had been on the lookout, I managed to survive without problems, but if I was alone, I might get injured.

It seems that the reason I didnt notice it getting close is due to its ability, Camouflage.

Name: Midnight Dragonfly

Race: Dragonfly Family

Gender:

Skills

AoE MagicWind Large

Ability

Levitation

A large dragonfly.

Thats why basically a one hit knockout is considered the best choice of action against it.

Well, in my case, I immediately snatched its ability, so that has nothing to do with me.

It was originally a small dragonfly, which transformed into a monster, and became gigantic. Its the same for the mantis from before, by the way.

I dont know the details as to why normal living things transform into monsters.

According to one theory, its said that its the same as the monsters within a labyrinth, they absorbed some kind of magic power.

Name: Forest Drill

Race: Ape Family

Gender

Skill

Physical Strength EnhancementExtreme

Martial Arts: Heavy Fist

Ability

Roar

A Forest Ape is a monster which specialises in agility and attacks, but this one, though its also an ape, seems to be a monster which places importance on strength.

Its quite the troublesome monster, since it can even use martial arts, but a lot of them move independently, so it was an easy prey to me.

By the way, Ive heard that its meat is an ultra high-class item which can be sold for an outrageously high price.

I was thinking of hunting lots of them as souvenirs for Aisha and Sylphy.

While taking a break, I checked the defeated monsters as I worked.

Since it didnt take much time to search for enemies, our hunting speed became really fast, didnt it?

While confirming the contents of my storage bag, I muttered without using telepathy, but the little Fenrirs

Praise us, praise us

they said, and came near me while rubbing their faces against me.

Since theres really no doubt its all thanks to this kids, I affectionately rubbed their throats with gratitude.

They seemed to like having their throats touched, and the three of them had a look of pleasure.

Yosh, Ive got enough rest, lets continue the hunt.

Yosh, lets hang on for a while longer, okay?

Well hang on, ou!

Well, even if I say hang on, the one exhausted will only be me, and the little Fenrirs have way more energy though.

Once again, I was guided by the little Fenrirs, and as we went deeper and deeper into the forest, in front of my eyes was a large pond no, a lake?

Are there monsters here too?

As I asked the little Fenrirs that, they replied There is, a big one, you know

A big one?

I took a glance, but theres nothing like that anywhere.

However, if thats what the kids say, it definitely exists, I thought, and used Presence DetectionModerate LV3

As I did that There it is!!

What is this!? Where is it from, eeeeeeeeeehhh!?

At about the same time I confirmed its existence with Presence DetectionModerate LV3, the surface of the lake started rippling, and a gigantic black fish (?) like thing jumped out.

Name: FirisCatfish (TLN: . Help? Used the same word as Atelier Firis)

Race: Catfish Family

Gender

Skills

Presence DetectionLarge

MagicWater Colossal

Ability

Swallowing Whole

Uu, this is A catfish monster!?

Just like the little Fenrirs said, its really big!

The scene of its big frame, which should be around 67 metres, leaping out was quite impressive.

Its level was higher than mine, and it feels like the first strong enemy in a while.

However, how can I defeat it if its in the water?

While worrying about a way to defeat it, the earth suddenly shook greatly.

This is bad, isnt this the catfishs Skill?

It feels bad that I didnt steal its Skills, since it only leapt out for a moment.

I accidentally fell down at the violent shaking.

The little Fenrirs yelped while crouching down.

For the time being, I cant do anything as long as the shaking continues.

I specified its location using Presence DetectionModerate LV3 and made a gigantic stone with Realize, before dropping it from above.

It easily avoided it since there was water resistance, but the shaking has calmed down for now.

Yosh, that guys rising to the water surface again.

I predicted the location itd leap up from, and lied in wait to steal its Skills.

At the same time, I picked up a moderately large stone, and activated Body EnhancementLarge LV3Physical EnhancementLarge LV2 Strong ArmSaint.

It then finally leapt out from the water surface with a terrifying force.

I quickly stole Earthquake and Presence DetectionLargebut, it seemed to be aiming for that moment as well, and a gigantic water ball flew towards me.

Ku!! Is that MagicWater Colossal!?

I can only steal one or two Skills at most in the moment it leaps out.

It used the Skill other than the ones I stole in that moment How unlucky!!!

I cant avoid it at this distance, and if I do avoid it, the little Fenrirs might get hit.

I can only endure it!!!

I used Water AttributeResistance and Defender, and stop the magic it fired!! (TLN: Defender???? Wait what????)

The sound of me receiving a direct hit from the magic resounded all around, and the water ball popped, water scattering around the surroundings.

Thanks to using defence type Skills in advance, I was able to suppress the damage received considerably, but even so, my I fell down in a kneeling position.

Seeing me injured, the little Fenrirs howled at the water surface.

I casted MagicLarge Recovery a few times to cope for the time being.

Its dangerous so back off, Ill defeat it the next time it jumps up

I called out to the little Fenrirs, and confirmed its location with Presence DetectionModerate LV3 again.

Although it was aiming directly for the water surface, I could see that it was swimming unsteadily, probably an effect from when I stole its Presence DetectionLarge just now,

I also snatched away its Earthquake.

It can only attack from the water surface now.

In that case, if I wait, itd probably attack from over there.

Just as I expected, it started moving towards the water surface.

Prepare yourself, its my turn now!

Once again, it leapt out of the water surface with a terrifying force.

This time I steal its MagicWater Colossal without fail, and threw a stone as large as a fist at full power.

However, the stone which I threw at full force couldnt bear the force, and the moment it hit the catfist, the stone fell to less than half of its original size.

I couldnt put an end to its life, but it seemed to have received quite the damage, and dived into the water again before blood rose to the surface.

Not having a projectile weapon really hurts, I can only try using magic, huh

However, the strongest magic I have is AoE magic should I use it?

As I thought until that part, I was hit by an idea.

This can probably work, right?

Third times the charm, they say, lets kill it with this!

The catfish who was injured and raging, rushed towards the water surface with a great speed.

Hasnt it realised that it doesnt have any Skills anymore?

I thought it would escape since it doesnt have anymore means of attacking, but Im thankful for this.

And then, it leapt out from the water for a third time.

Now!!!!

The Skill I used was Unique MagicSpace-time.

A black vortex appeared in its path, and the catfish leapt into it.

Of course, the place I connected to before it entered it, is the ground a few metres away from me.

If it cant dive underwater, theres no way itll be a hard fight!

I equipped my steel dagger, and stabbed it towards the body of the flopping catfish.

After the stabbing with the dagger, I ran horizontally.

I rushed away from the catfish which let out a terrifying shriek, and stole all its remaining abilities, and pasted them onto a pebble.

Because of its big body, it didnt immediately die, but violently shook its body, and continued struggling.

As it loudly struggled, I hesitated to approach it.

It might take some time, but I casted Sorcery Extremity LV2 and used MagicWind, and delivered damage from a distance.

I fired about ten blows of MagicWind.

Its struggling finally started calming down.

I roughly casted defence type Skills, and carefully approached its head, and stabbed my steel dagger towards its forehead.

The catfish jolted for a moment, before it became completely still.

Phew, its over

As I said that, the little Fenrirs who were sitting down hard on the floor flew towards me with a great momentum.

They were probably worried, huh. They licked my face intensely.

Are you okay? Are you okay? Wasnt it painful?

Un, Im alright! Thanks for worrying!

After getting healed by the little Fenrirs for a while, I started dismantling the catfish.

If I bring this, Ill probably get quite a lot of points, wont I?

As expected, I was a little tired, so todays hunt will have to end here.

While thinking that, I sent a telepathic message to Divine Beast Fenrir-sama, and the result was that I will be guided to their residence.

Well guide you to our home!

Thus, my bed for tonight will be in Divine Beast Fenrir-samas residence.

Thinking that I originally had to hunt alone on top of fighting all night, I am really thankful for this.

Im really grateful to these kids and Divine Beast Fenrir-sama!
