Chapter 12 Dogs Tribute

Gururururururururururu

Its noisy outside of the tree hole.

Judging by the voice, a cry of an Earth Dog?

Rather, I feel like the voice is getting closer each time

What a splendid substitute for an alarm clock.

Tekuteku Tekuteku

When I take my crimson gun and get out

As expected, three dogs were waiting outside.

Gururururururururu

Ku~on, ku~on

Guruaaaaa

They bark something towards me.

Ouch.

A waking up high-pitched voice.

Its like a bell ringing in my head, but A breakfast?

Im delighted that my breakfast came right to me.

Although I have a lot of preserved food, the more set aside the better.

It seems that the food doesnt rot in the tree hole.

When I point my gun towards the Earth Dogs.

Kyan, kyan

Kyan, kyan

Kyan, kyan

All dogs prostrate before me on the ground.

Almost as if they were bowing before me.

One of them takes out something strawberry-like from its mouth and put it in front of them.

With the feeling ofPlease feel freeit pushes the strawberry with its snouts.

Are?

Arererere?

No way, is this

Its not that, right?

It seems the dogs are paying tribute to me.

They are wagging their tails furiously.

But, lets make sure first.

It may possibly be Earth Dogs scheme.

They may have poisoned the fruit and aim to kill me with poison.

Maa, it wont be effective against my poison resistance, though.

I even have the protecting eggshell at hand.

I have a reassuring ally.

Well then, its your turn Appraisal-san.

Others: Earth Berry

Description: Edible fruit. Sweet with rich fragrance.

Said to be cultivated by Earth Dogs, they present this fruit as proof of loyalty to superior beings.

Yes.

I understand.

Thank you very much, Appraisal-san.

I have been paid a tribute.

It may be because I have defeated the Earth Dog leader.

Do the weak flock around the strong in demon society?

Sounds like weak meat flocking around the strong meat.

Then, lets accept it first of all.

I have enough food, I should avoid useless fighting.

I pick theEarth Berrythe Earth Dogs presented me.

When I look at it up close, it really resembles a strawberry.

Ku~on, ku~on

Ku~on, ku~on

Ku~on, ku~on

The dogs urge me to quickly eat it.

I understand.

I would eat it even if you didnt sing with such painful voices.

Well then, Im doing it.

Paku

Fumufumu.

As Appraisal said, it tastes sweet.

A fruity taste spreads in my mouth.

I like it.

Kuon, kuon

Kuon, kuon

Kuon, kuon

The Earth Dogs wag their tails in joy.

They lower their heads.

It seems they are glad because I seemed to like it.

Do as you see fit

I tell the dogs in high spirits and return to the hole for breakfast.

Gabun Chiyu Chiyu

I suck the Earth Dog meat with my fangs.

When I finished the breakfast and went out of the hole, one Earth Dog was still there.

ItWaa~ Waa~d me while sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail.

The dog is in a completely tamed state.

I dont sense any ambition, just the fluffiness.

Kuon, Kuon

It lowers its head and moves its neck.

It may be sayingGet on.

If thats the case, I will accept the offer.

Saku

I climb on the Ea

rth Dogs back.

Ku~on, ku~on

The Earth Dog barks joyfully.

The ride is really comfortable.

Kuon, kuon

Yusayusa Yusayusa

The dog shakes its head and asks inquiries me for the destination.

Lets see~

What to do?

Uumu.

Lets run through this are first.

Because Im just a Baby Vampire, I dont know my surroundings.

Im ignorant of the geography.

Kuikui Kuikui

I draw a circle with my finger to instruct the dog.

I wonder if the meaningCircle around the areawill transmit

Wan, wan

It seems to have understood.

Rather, this is the first time it barkedWanwan.

Did it get genuinely attached?

Waooo~n!

The dog barks and starts running.

Sasa Sasa Sasa Sasa

It runs around the dungeon.

The view of the surroundings slowly spreads around me.

The breeze hitting my skin is comfortable.

Its more comfortable than walking by myself.

Sasa Sasa Sasa Sasa

The scenery is similar no matter where I look.

The trees and plants show here and there, the meadow continues.

The most standing out are the red flowers, Nirvana Flowers.

Ah.

That reminds me

The Elf Jiisan in the Anima Temple said something about this.

If Im not mistaken Was itIf you want to meet, go where the red flowers bloom?

Then, lets have a look.

Patpat Poi

I pat the dogs head and stretch my finger to indicate the direction.

Waoo~n

It seems we have a good mutual understanding or something, the dog starts running to the direction I pointed at.

Sasa Sasa Sasa Sasa

To the direction where the red flowers bloom.

The wind is comfortable.
