While encountering a Dog with Human Head, Karubene had been pushed off a cliff.
The Dogs with Human Heads lowered their heads and walked toward this way. Their seated eyes were calmly filled with anger.
“The Boss doesn’t need to meet you all. This luggage alone will be proof of eliminating intruders.”
The other dogs seemed to be waiting for a word from their leader. In response, Cecilia slowly turned around.
“Don’t joke. We’ve lost someone too. I’ll tell the Boss directly that your subordinate has failed, bringing you his head.”
This situation was about to turn into a full-blown battle. This field was inconvenient for the large-bodied Philiana (F), Nina (F), and Lauren (Female). However, the most surprised was Cecilia. She never expected to show such anger for Karubene. She always made a nasty face whenever they talked.
“Wait, Cecilia. Let’s have Piyo check on Karubene. Knowing him, he’s surely not dead. Piyo, please search below the cliff.”
Piyo immediately jumped off the cliff. In the meantime, the enemies were closing in.
“It seems we have no choice but to repel them. I’ll do it.”
“Hey, don’t just kill them!”
Just then, Karubene’s voice was heard from below the cliff. Cecilia reacted first.
“Gerro, are you alive? Seriously, come up quickly, or I’ll push you down again.”
Despite her biting words, she seemed inexplicably happy. Knowing Karubene, he wasn’t the type to die in a place like this. However, this would only fuel the enemies’ anger. For the time being, I asked Pauline (Female) and Lauren (Female) for help to pull Karubene up. During that time, we had to prevent any interference from the enemies. Sharin took a combat stance, a dagger in hand.
“If I take the luggage to the Boss, that will be enough. Attack!”
At the leader’s signal, they all leaped at once. Their coordinated movements were just like real dogs.
“Just a moment, hey, your companion is here too. Be grateful I didn’t push her off.”
The enemies’ movements suddenly stopped. The female Dog with Human Head who had fallen with him earlier was also alive. She silently returned to her leader.
“It’s a tie now, isn’t it? Now, let us pass. Neither of us can afford any more sacrifices, right?”
I spoke calmly. The enemy leader stepped back and seemed to be contemplating something.
“I won’t take your lives, but you will meet the Boss.”
“Are you still saying that?!”
Cecilia expressed her anger at the Dogs with Human Heads who still refused to back down. At this point, Elana, with a cool demeanor, spoke up.
“It’s fine. Let’s meet him. If we keep barking like this, our ears will just hurt anyway. Come on, why don’t you guide us quickly?”
Elana walked past the man with a mocking glance.
