Chapter 17 After the Rain~~
"It's almost time to close. After washing the fresh wild vegetables and putting away the wooden bowls used by the previous guests, Silver looked at the still gloomy sky. Visually, it is estimated that there will be heavy rain at night...... It was intended that way.
"......?" When I turned around, it was very abrupt, and I didn't know when another customer came to the stall. A white-haired girl in a trench coat.
A strange scene, obviously the avenue was empty just now, just in the blink of an eye, a guest came inexplicably.
"Welcome. "Still, a guest is a guest. Just stunned, Silver welcomed warmly. There is no association with ghosts or anything like that. "Ask the guest what he wants. "Oden at noon, farmhouse stir-fry in the evening, and Silver handed over the homemade menu.
"Yes. The girl hesitated and took it.
"But the guests are really amazing, it's raining heavily, how did the guests avoid the rain?" The girl was very clean, a little too clean. In particular, the girl did not carry any rain gear at all. Kneading the dough in his hands, Silver looked at it suspiciously.
"Excuse me, do you know the owner of this item?" However, the girl did not answer Silver's question, but only felt something from her sleeve and placed it on the table.
Is this a red scale, which looks like it was peeled off from some large creature?
"Huh?" At the first glance of the item, Silver stopped what he was doing and let out a whisper of surprise. "Isn't this Xiaohong's thing?do you know where Xiaohong is?"
"Dead. What I got was a cold answer.
Hearing this answer, Silver was stunned. “...... Well, I'm sorry, I didn't hear that clearly. "Put down the scales in your hands.
"Dead. "Nothing has changed...... An impersonal answer at all.
"......" Silver was silent.
The rain that had stopped before was now falling again, and the raindrops made a crisp sound on the canopy.
I opened my mouth, but I stopped thinking of something.
"I'm sorry, guest, please wait a moment for your yakisoba. With an embarrassed smile, he returned the red scales and continued to prepare the dish in his hand.
"Feeling hopeless?" the girl asked faintly.
"Impossible. The girl's voice has not yet fallen, and the response is the girl's negation. "Although I don't know what the relationship between you and Xiaohong is, or the person you are looking for is not the same person I want to know. "The chopping of vegetables sped up.
"Little Red promised me that he would come back...... Moreover, I still owe him three hundred years of wages, and Xiaohong is a very calculating child. "Heat the boiler, open the lid and add the seasonings.
"Moreover, Xiaohong is also very strong, and it is impossible to have an accident. After all this, Silver raised his head again, and what he showed in front of the girl was an innocent smile with no sad face at all.
"......" However, this smile does not mean anything, for the performance of the girl in front of her, the girl only raised the corners of her mouth with a touch of arc.
It's as if you've forgotten to order your own food...... Putting on the hood of her trench coat, the girl turned away from the stall and disappeared into the gray rain. As for the red scales, they were left at the stall.
As a stall owner, I should have stopped the sudden departure of customers, but I couldn't care about it.
At the moment when the girl left.
The clenched little hands let go, as if they could no longer support it, and fell softly on the bench used to stand, and the peasant hat was pulled down with both hands to cover the side of the face. The sound of the girl sobbing sadly echoed with the rain on the stall.
And, following the aroma of the food on the stall, the monster wolves that should not have appeared in this area were attracted~~
——Different Space——
The main hall inside the tower.
A vicious beast bound by countless chains that can't break free.
A huge body that is enough to cover the sky, and a bone wing that is as bright as blood. Sharp fangs that send chills down the hearts of even the bravest knights. The malevolent scarlet vertical pupils speak of its brutal nature, a creature at the top of the food chain, an adult red dragon.
The images recorded in front of him, the body that had been eaten, the blood-stained peasant hat, the crystal plates of various colors scattered all over the ground, and the torn clothes.
Seeing this scene, countless chains froze, and the originally silent dragon unfolded its body, and the thick dragon tail swept through the pillars of the main hall, and the dragon fell into a state of rage.
"Your master is dead. "The replay of the recorded video is completely an ant compared to the huge body of the dragon, and at this moment, the words of the girl who looks like an ant make the dragon angry.
At this moment, the extremely angry dragon finally broke free from the shackles of the chains, and the raised dragon claws that tore through the air swung down heavily towards the girl's direction!
The power of the dragon is not something that humans can stop, a huge sonic boom resounded throughout the hall, and the magic barrier was prevented, however, the girl's whole person was slapped away by the dragon with the magic barrier, smashed through the wall, and flew out of the tower.
The sharp claws tore through the tower, and the red dragon crawled out of it, roaring in the sky...... The angry pathos conveyed in the roar seemed to be an unwilling confession to the heavens.
However, no one responded.
"......" wiped away the blood that had spilled from the corners of her mouth due to the heavy blow, turned to leave the space, and the girl disappeared.
==========================================
"On the western border of heaven and earth, there is a kitchen knife that the Grim Reaper once used, and it can use seven spells to cook. Under the southern desert, there are buried the chopsticks of the god of food hidden by the god of fire, and you can taste all the delicious foods in the world. "The second girl with an umbrella passed by, with blue hair that was clearer than the rain, and fluttered in the wind. "Inheritor of the North, this is the price you have to pay when you get it?" Closing the blue tome in his hand, the tragic death of the girl in front of him reflected the sage's eyes
"......" glanced at the tragic situation around him and watched quietly, the sage was speechless.
