Bercheria looked up at Muha, chattering.
“Don’t eat that person! Spit it out! Now!”
At her voice, Muha’s eyes flickered and moved.
Bercheria also raised her eyelids forcefully.
For a moment, very briefly, she felt that Muha’s gaze had changed.
As if observing her closely, it was moving loosely.
“Muha……. You recognize me.”
Muha slowly bowed its head and brought its face close to her.
As she reached out with trembling hands, Muha clicked, opened its beak with a sound.
Then, without hesitation, swallowed her small body whole.
“You stupid Muha bird……!”
Bercheria’s clear voice was trapped in the beak and vanished.
She sighed and closed her eyes tightly.
She thought this might have been for the best.
Since she was an immortal being, she just had to find Lakrahan and rescue him.
“Ugh!”
Of course, she would have to endure the filthy, hot, and sticky saliva of Muha, thinking that death might even be preferable.
When she felt her skin being crushed under the hard beak.
A hot hand sprung from somewhere, roughly grasping her arm.
‘Lakrahan?’
Holding his puffed cheeks as he held his breath, his face came close enough to break through the mucus.
Lakrahan pulled Bercheria’s body towards himself.
He tightly blocked her escape with his long legs, and with his arm, he wrapped and protected her small head.
And the next moment.
Keeek!
The beak of the injured condor opened wide, creaking.
Kwack!
The two united bodies were spat out with waterfalllike saliva.
“Ugh!”
“Eek!”
The two bodies that fell to the ground bounced into the air and began to tumble on the ground.
During the tumble through the rough, untrimmed forest, Lakrahan’s clothes tore, and new scratches appeared on the exposed skin.
Nevertheless, Lakrahan did not let go of Bercheria, who he held until the end.
“Ugh!”
The two bodies stopped when his back hit a hard tree.
“Haa, haa.”
“Hoo.”
The two waited for the shock to subside, still embracing each other.
Then Lakrahan, who regained his senses first, released Bercheria from his arms, who was still unable to escape from the shock.
As she staggered to her feet, his brows furrowed angrily.
“Why did you jump in after I went to the trouble of saving you?”
Fortunately, she seemed unharmed.
It was fortunate that he found the lady at that moment; otherwise, she might have been seriously injured.
Callis Argen saw the wound on his hand, but he had no idea how far it had healed.
Rather, he felt it would be easier if he were the one who was hurt.
“What on earth happened?”
Bercheria asked, brushing off the sticky saliva of the muha from her hand.
“What.”
Lakrahan said, pushing his cloak aside to show the sword belted around his waist.
“It fit perfectly between the gigantic condor’s gullet and my sword.”
Lakrahan glanced at the stillhopping muha and scowled.
“It won’t think about picking up anything to eat for a while, having been dealt with like this.”
“Sigh.”
Bercheria struggled to stand up.
Lakrahan’s body was riddled with wounds everywhere.
She turned her head to his opposite side, biting the flesh inside her mouth for no reason.
“I’ve caused you trouble.”
Lakrahan’s gaze, which had been on the muha, turned to Bercheria.
“You say ‘thanks for saving me’ quite amusingly.”
Bercheria exhaled a short breath and smoothed her furrowed brow.
“Yes, I put you in danger because of my judgment error.”
“And?”
Her golden eyes flickered without resentment.
“……Thank you for saving me.”
Lakrahan’s lips quirked up.
Receiving an apology was no small feat.
He stepped one leg back and raised his right hand to his left chest.
“To hear an apology from a great goddess. It’s an honor, Bercheria.”
“What’s the truth? Kindness? Or is it your real character to scoff like this?”
“Haha.”
Lakrahan laughed cheerfully at the angry Bercheria.
It seemed that the latter was certainly his nature.
Bercheria, who was shedding tears of pain as she looked at the whimpering muha, walked towards the tower.
“Follow me.”
Lakrahan watched Bercheria’s retreating figure and then followed.
“Isn’t it polite to tell me what you want at this point?”
The sound of grass being trampled sounded with each step they took.
“We’re going up the tower.”
“……What?”
“We failed the first method, so we have to go to the second.”
Bercheria pointed her finger at the tower above.
“Where are you going?”
“Up there.”
“So you’re saying we’re going up the tower?”
“Yes. There’s something I need to bring with you.”
“With me?”
“You’ll find out soon enough, so just stick close and follow me.”
Bercheria, having finished speaking, suddenly started running towards the crouching, groaning muha.
“Hah.”
Lakrahan ran his hand through his hair and then couldn’t help but shout after Bercheria.
“Is that your true nature?”
All that came back was her retreating figure.
“Of course. There’s no reason to answer.”
Lakrahan finally moved after Bercheria.
His cloak fluttered in the empty air, and he quickly caught up with Bercheria.
