NGNL: Can't humans do that

No way to know.

As a person who experienced the abnormality firsthand, Asano Shirasu could not sit down and discuss his feelings with Su'er shoulder to shoulder. After all, he had perfectly integrated with this environment.

He did not suddenly become strong, the pain in his shoulder was still there, and the weakness in his body was still lingering. Everything seemed to be the same as before - too normal, so normal that Su'er even began to doubt whether he was under some kind of illusion magic.

But Asano Shirasu final performance was indeed abnormal.

I don't know what Su'er was thinking in his Heart. Asano Shirasu monkey named Tama was still scratching his ears and squeaking. Su'er weird and abnormal behavior added fuel to the little monkey's fear of witnessing the terrible death of his master.

Even though nothing extraordinary happened after Su'er raised his hand, the monkey seemed to collapse, jumping and running desperately until it reached the place where Asano Shirasu had just sat - and then picked up a round piece of blood-red cloth from there? ! !

But Su'er face suddenly changed, and he immediately rushed towards the monkey - but it was too late. The monkey jumped swiftly, ran on all fours, and rushed up the hillside in less than a few seconds.

Whoosh! !

That was the sound of a dagger thrown out urgently through the air.

This monkey named Tama was obviously specially trained, and it dodged the dagger thrown by Su'er with just a slight dodge, waving the things it had just picked up from the ground randomly. The monkey shouted loudly in a language that humans could not understand, and then turned over and fled along the stone wall under the hillside before Su'er rushed over.

Even though Su'er rushed up the slope the next second, he could only helplessly watch the small figure jumping nimbly between these gaps, and disappeared completely in a few short breaths, leaving Su'er standing there like a stone statue that had lost its life.

Like falling into an ice cave.

——————————————

Su'er specially endured the cold river water and walked a long way from the river before getting ashore again. Su'er hoped that such small details could help him get rid of some possible troubles, such as the pursuit of the Werebeast who came to check the battlefield later.

In fact, although the return journey was long and lasted for several days, good luck seemed to have finally favored Su'er once. He did not encounter any troubles during this journey, but even so, he always had a heavy stone on his Heart.

The piece of cloth that the monkey picked up was the piece of cloth on Su'er clothes. Asano Shirasu, who suddenly pounced on him, bit off not only a small piece of flesh on Su'er shoulder, but also the clothes on the shoulder area - it was stained with Su'er blood... Of course, there was also Asano Shirasu blood and saliva.

Su'er didn't know how the leaders of the Werebeast would interpret this information after it was mixed together and taken back by the monkey, but this did not prevent him from making many heavy assumptions about it.

It's like a good man who has grown up for more than ten years and has never done anything wrong, but accidentally brought someone else's things back to his home by chance. When he found out about this, he would feel panic - would others call the police? What would my friends think of me if this matter got out? Is it still useful for me to explain and apologize now?

It was this kind of panic and fear that was going up and down in his Heart, and Su'er feeling at the moment was even worse than this. After all, accidentally taking someone else's things would not cost you your life, but the things that the monkey brought back might cost Su'er life... and even the lives of everyone in the entire settlement.

He clamped a piece of prepared ore with a special wooden stick, and then put this simple light source into the dark river flowing out beside him. Su'er quietly watched the small ore flickering, and then gradually and steadily emitted an orange-yellow light.

Even though it was weak, it was enough to illuminate the darkness around his body and reflect the road ahead.

He was home.

Walking towards the depths of the cave with a stiff step, walking mechanically, Su'er could no longer feel the existence of his limbs, as if there was a cold storm sweeping through his Heart, taking away his light and heat every minute and every second.

He even forgot how far he had to go until he heard those familiar voices.

"Is it Su'er?!"

"Su'er is back! Hey! Go tell Couronne! Hurry up!"

The few people who stayed in the village to guard the road saw Su'er appearance, and quickly lifted the fence that could only be used to prevent ordinary beasts from rushing in, opened the gate and cheered.

When Lanny and his friends who had returned safely said that Su'er had insisted on staying in the area where the Werebeast were fighting the Orcs, everyone in the village was worried about Su'er who had not returned yet. After all, just from the weak appearance of Lanny who had lost too much blood and the huge dent on his arm that had lost flesh and blood, it can be seen how dangerous the situation was at that time.

So the camp's housekeeper, Couronne, spent all her time beside the gate except for some necessary work. She looked out from time to time with a sense of something. Whenever she saw a light in the passage, she would open her eyes wide in anticipation and greet it. But in the end, she found that it was only the other people who had set out on the expedition who had returned. Although she was not disappointed, she was glad to see her companions return safely. But what Couronne really wanted to see more was the safe return of the person who was clearly known to be in danger.

Not long after wasting time, Couronne, who had just left the gate to take a nap, was called over. She saw the man, the boy, who was standing silently at the gate Surounded by excited people.

The dark grey robe was full of holes, and the hood on his head had been lowered, but the platinum blond hair that should have shone brightly under the light was now grey, and his whole face was tired. He was smiling and talking to the people around him, but Couronne inexplicably felt an unspeakable sense of despair from the boy.

Even though they had gradually grown taller in the past few years and had long Surpassed Couronne height, both Su'er and Riku still looked the same in Couronne eyes.

Two little, stubborn little radishes who would purse their lips and raise their heads expressionlessly when they were stubborn.
