Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 298: The tattered rag and bagworm

While breathing heavily, we advanced through the forest filled with dense amounts of mana. What’s with these guys? Are these really women and children?!

They’re killing the attacking monsters left and right all while humming. We followed desperately so we wouldn’t fall behind.

This place is one of the countless monster nests in what they called the Demon Continent.

They said that monster nests were places with high concentrations of mana. And apparently, that dense mana meant that that place would have a ton of monsters living in it.

I want to yell at the me of the time when I imagined that the monsters here would be like those in the Sky Island.

Like「Don’t go!」……

Kishaaaーー!!

「Hiih!」

Shu! Botari!

A snake monster so large it was almost funny darted out of the treetop and attacked me as I walked in a daze.

I reflexively crouched down, shrieking and eyes shut…………huh? The pain isn’t coming? Was I saved?

What I saw when I opened my eyes nervously was the head of a giant wolf.

『Gururu』

「………………」

Hatan!

「Ah! Hey! Valto fainted! 」

「Ferryl, stop it. That’s not tasty.」

It felt like the people were talking like that about me as my consciousness faded.

「Ha! W-what happened!」

I had to check, am I lying on the ground, did I collapse, am I injured? It was then that I heard that shitty bastard’s voice.

「Ou, had a good sleep, you wornout rag?」

「Who are you calling a wornout rag?」

Yeah, it was Uncle Valkan’s son, Vart. Even though we’re the same age, that detestable guy is far stronger than me. As if I’d admit that though.

Then a girl’s bell chime-like voice pushed through.

「Hey! Don’t fight inside a monster nest!」

「Tch, this doesn’t concern you, Berkut!」

「A-ah, Berkut-san.」

The name of that girl was Berkut-san.

She had a small face and a slender figure. Even so, the parts of a woman that should protrude, were protruding, and those that should cave in, do. And above all, her wings are so beautifully white that it’s like they sparkle.

「Are you okay, Valto-kun? Can you walk?」

「Y-yes, I’m fine!」

「Berkut, don’t talk to that guy.」

「What do you mean “that guy”!」

Gauu!!

「「Hiih!」」

「Look here, you better stop before Ferryl-chan gets mad.」

「Ferryl, let’s go.」

「Uon.」

Was the giant wolf monster from a while ago was the familiar of that human girl I think was called Akane?

My old man asked that human brat Takumi to train us. And they brought us here.

At first, he started changing the inside of the caverns in the Sky Island to his liking, then just when I thought he made a room for a magic device called a Gate, we were brought to place he was based in at the Demon Continent.

Here, we were reunited with the tribespeople we were separated with 200 years ago, but minus the elderly, women, and children, everyone was stronger than us from the Sky Island. What was most shocking was when I found out that the bastard who beat me up was not the strongest among the warriors of the tribe.

It happened when I asked some dude my age.

「Eh? Vart? That guy’s the weakest.」

「Eh!? You’re lying, right……?」

「Hmm hmm, what’s up?」

「Ah, Berkut? Nothing much, I was just answering this guy’s question about how strong Vart is.」

「Bagworm is dead last.」

「B-bagworm…… I was done in by a bagworm……」

To begin with, this place is abnormal.

Today, the one commanding us Sky Islanders was a female elf warrior. She’s scary so I didn’t go near her.

And there were two Human girls. One was using a spear to overpower the monsters. Wasn’t she that Iruma guy’s maid? The other one was the master of that ridiculously huge wolf. Maybe she was a mage? She mainly used magic. I beg you, please keep that wolf away.

「Tattered rag, hurry over nya.」

And what the hell with this one?

She’s just a Catkin child, why is she so much stronger than me?

She’s still just a young Catkin child. Wasn’t her name Lulu? I thought she was a servant of the owner of that wolf.

I spurred my heavy body to rise and chased after my old man and comrades.

How did this happen…………
