Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

The next day, the horse-drawn carriage passed by on a different road.

Wrong direction, huh?

The cat and the cat (Mao Mao) asked the sparrow (Chué). Today we are not in the stands, but in the horse-drawn carriage together. Xiao Hong (Xiaohong) is not there because he is riding with his uncle.

"Yes, it's through the mountains."

I think it's faster to cut through the meadow, but for some reason I'm going around.

"Why are you changing the path?"

"If you go straight ahead, you'll run into your uncle, who is the same age as you." Didn't I tell you about the two of you? "

Is that it? Is it a serious duel?

The cat remembers what the cat fluffed up to hear.

“Yes, I think you arrived earlier than us because you avoided encountering us. In a way, those two are better than anybody."

The sparrow said that it was stained.

(Son of a bitch.)

The cat and the cat looked around again. A rocky desert rather than a meadow. There are cliffs on both sides.

Is that why you're going this way?

"It's a shortcut in terms of distance." I avoided it because it was a carriage, but the big merchants will use this road. ”

In other words, it is presumed that there are bandits on the road that cannot be used on a small scale. As expected, there was no Mogadishu who would attack my current state with an escort.

I think so, but the cat's anxiety doesn't go away.

Normal paths are good.

It's a road along the mountain range. As for the body in the carriage, it is shaky and disgusting.

Wasn't there a detour?

"It's snowing on the north detour this time of year." The horses are drained and need a lot of fuel if you're going to camp. ”

I can't help it if, judging overall, I decide that this path is good.

However, the sparrow's expression was slightly cloudy as well.

I want to get out of here soon.

Looking out, the barren earth lingered.

There are frequent breaks on the road to avoid draining the horses. One of the carriages carried fodder and water for horses. The horse eats the foliage in a bucket deliciously. It looked like Xiaohong was feeding too. I have something white in my hand.

You're giving rock salt to a horse, right?

"Yes, your horse will sweat a lot."

It must be something that needs to be wasted. I hear that giant deer in the far north prefer human urine.

Hmmm...

The sparrow prepares a meal with a subtle face.

What's the matter?

No, I'm not relieved that there are anxiety elements after all.

The sparrow wrapped a small sword around the dried meat.

Cats and cats feel indescribably anxious when they see how it goes.

Sparrow-san, are you sure you want to say that in front of me?

I asked her to check it.

The sparrow has a dull face.

"... yes, it was bypassed." But my current job is to keep Cat and Cat safe. "

It is unusual for a sparrow. Isn't it impossible to see impatience in cats and cats?

"I want to get rid of the anxiety element."

"What anxiety elements? The bear man can't escape anymore, can he?"

"Yes, I have my limbs tied and my arms broken. You can't even wield a weapon....."

The sparrow lays down its eyelashes lightly.

”The most scary thing is not being ferocious like a tiger, but persistent like a tiny tiger.”

(Well, I know)

The bear man seemed to have interrupted his work many times after his eyes were crushed, and he would have made trouble again if he hadn't caught him this time.

And this time, you must have quite a grudge against cats.

I don't think we're going to get away with this.

I see.

The sparrow places a small sword.

However, the sparrow's instincts were right.

That night, we went camping without leaving the rocky desert. I can hear howling wolves and can't sleep well. It is cold, so I layered my jacket and wore more fur. My exhaled breath is white and cloudy, and my ears are sore as if they were ripped apart. It's not a meadow, so the tent can't be put up well. That's why I slept in the carriage.

If you fall asleep for the time being, it will be in the morning. But the Sleepy Son is hard to come by. My eyelids flickered when I finally felt like I could sleep.

It's a million euros to open your eyelids with the cold and the sleepiness, but I managed to open my eyes. The cover of the horse-drawn carriage was dyed red.

Cats and cats look outside the carriage with their fur woven in haste.

The carriage is burning and the fire is rising. The horses squeaked and the men leapt to extinguish the fire. It must have been a carriage with leaves on it that caught fire. The way it burns up is not unusual.

Everyone is paying attention to the burnt carriage.

So I didn't notice anyone who came out in front of the cat.

⁉

Gradually, I was struck by my flank. Soon after I felt the pain, the cat and the cat fell out of the carriage.

"... this damn woman"

There was a bear man there. My eyes are bleeding and blood is dripping from my mouth. The front teeth were missing a few, and instead they had a rope torn between their limbs.

Both arms are hanging down. One of the torn ropes is wrapped around the arm with a metal bar. It's more like a weapon than an arm.

The bear man doesn't even seem to feel pain anymore.

I think the one who knocked down the cat is the one with no metal bars on it. There, I saw my aim to inflict pain on you.

(to be killed)

It is thickly worn and some shock has been absorbed, but there is pain. You must get up and flee immediately.

A bear man approaches. Cats and cats try to stand up while backing up, but they can't stand up. My body is still numb from the shock that fell. If we run somehow and run to everyone, we'll manage.

But it's faster for a bear man to get hit than for a cat and cat to escape.

The cat has to protect his head somehow, and the cat covers his face and squints his eyes.

How long has it been? It was like a moment, and I felt like four and a half hours had passed.

The bear man's arm was not swayed by the cat.

"Excuse me, Mr. Cat."

I heard a sparrow.

Open your eyes.

Against the background of a carriage with a fire rising, you can see the shadow of a bear man and the shadow of a sparrow riding on it. A splash was dancing from around the bear man's neck.

"While I was out of sight."

As the sparrow jumped from the bear man, the bear man's body collapsed.

"I'm sorry for the dirty attire. Is it important?"

"... I'm fine."

I don't know if I should be relieved or surprised. There is blood sticking to the sparrow's face.

I'm glad Xiaohong didn't ride on the same carriage. You should be with your uncle.

That's why we should've cleaned it up sooner.

”Ah, ahhh, ahhh!”

I heard a muffled voice. The sparrow immediately turned around and took the fist that had been wielded. No, you can say it was shaken. There are no more bones left in the arm that can be moved.

The broken arm made a further rustling and bone shattering sound, and the body of the sparrow blew away as if to let the shock escape.

Your teeth are bleeding from the fracture, your arms are hanging without crushing force, and your neck is splashing blood.

……

Why are you alive when you're not dead anymore? Is that because it looks like a snake that moves even after dropping its head?

However, the sparrow immediately stood in front of the cat. There was a small sword in my left hand.

He gnashed his teeth and entered the bear man's pocket.

"This is the end of it."

The sparrow pierces the bear man with a small sword.

(I'm used to it...)

It's like stabbing a gap in a rib, and a small sword is buried slightly to the left from the center.

There was no such thing as hesitation, and the sword was pulled out like a task.

Still, the bear man stood.

"O-Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."

It was when the bear man swung and the sparrow jumped backwards.

An arrow pierced the remaining eyes of the bear man.

"He's really persistent."

The voice of a man who seemed to be somewhat unfortunate. It's just a trick. When the trickster raises his hand, his men shoot arrows one after the other.

I can hear the screams of a grumpy bear man. I don't know what you're talking about anymore.

However, when the voice stopped, the bandit who called himself Cyclops stood still and stopped breathing.

"Sorry, while I was distracted by the fire."

Tsubaki talks to the cat, but it was the sparrow that bothered the cat.

"I'm sorry, Cat."

The sparrow is smiling as usual. The only thing that bothered me was that the sword was held in my left hand.

Sparrow-san.

A cat and a cat put their hands on the sparrow's shoulder. Something's wrong with the right shoulder.

It's dark and I can't see well. But it looked black and discolored. The cat and cat hold the right arm of the sparrow. It felt slimy.

"No, no, I'm sorry, Mr. Sparrow, I'm so sorry."

The sparrow's eyes were lying on the ground. When did you get injured like this? I thought it was a moment when the cat and cat were meditating on each other's eyes, but how many attacks and defenses were there?

There was also blood from my stomach. The cat and the cat immediately carry the sparrow to the carriage.

The bear men were probably the same, but so were the sparrows.

"Please boil the water!" And therapeutic equipment! "

"Oh, oh"

It doesn't matter if the opponent is a hacker.

The cat and the cat made him take off his sparrow kimono.

The broken arm was half torn, and there were bruises on the abdomen. Both are fierce, but looking at the internal organs is a priority.

But at the same time, there were countless scars on the sparrow's body that could be described as her history. There are scars of battle-scarred fighters, and there are obviously signs of torture.

"Cat. Cat."

“Don't talk!”

"Shut up and let me talk to you..."

The sparrow strokes the cat's cheek with her left hand.

My right hand won't be able to use it, will it?

I don't know yet.

“No, I won't be able to use it anymore”

It is half torn.

The cat became frustrated when the cat was pointed at the star. Cats and cats don't have the skills to connect torn limbs. Here, even if it is connected, it will barely function, or it will rot.

“If you can use it, give your arms priority over your stomach.”

No, it's from my stomach.

The internal organs are more life-threatening than the limbs. The first thing to do is to start with my stomach.

“No, if you can't use your right hand, I'm worthless. It's over if you can't use it anymore."

“No, I'm not.”

Cats and cats give out hand-healed equipment. There are no blood stops, cough stops, cold medicines, or scraps.

"I can't because I don't have a sparrow." No matter what happens, live. "

The cat and cat hurry up with the treatment equipment, pour hot water, light the fire, and wait for the arrival of the cats. Outside, the lit carriage was still burning.

”Fufufu, Cat-san... do you like me?”

"Yes, I like it." Please don't talk to me. "

It seems that my lungs are not abnormal because I can only talk like this.

"Sounds good. A confession of love from the cat."

Strangely enough, the sparrow's face looks endless.

"It's good to be liked temporarily by people."

……

The cat and the cat slip their fingers into the belly of the sparrow, unable to repent. Your ribs are broken and likely to be pierced by your internal organs.

"There are many things about cats and cats, so it's important not to let your emotions get in the way." but..... "

The sparrow touches the cat's cheek with his left hand, which is wet with blood.

You can't use that as an excuse

Fufufu, laughing, sparrows. Keep your eyes peeled.

For a moment, I was surprised, but I still had a pulse.

"Hey, hot water and therapeutic equipment."

The cat receives a treatment device from the cat. Remove the incision blade and the disinfectant (alcohol).

(I don't know what you mean.)

Cats and cats bite their lips.

I won't let you die easily.

I clenched my fist and decided to start the surgery.
