The Strongest Hunter Who Was Not Allowed To Hunt Monsters Joined a Cooking Guild - Chapter 85

Chapter 85

I had a dream.

A dream of when I was little.

Before coming to the Winter family …

In other words, it’s a dream of an elf village.

And it was the worst nightmare.

I’m standing in the middle of the forest and crying.

A scream was heard from around, and the fire was exploding.

Illuminated by the burning flames, what emerged from the darkness of the forest was a huge S-rank monster.

I don’t know what I shouted at that time.

Was it the name of my parents?

Or was it my childhood friend’s name?

Maybe I just stayed silent and waited for someone to help me.

What I clearly remember was the dark eyes of the demon and the sight of the elves in the village who had oppressed me for many years being murdered without any help.

The pillar of flame rises.

It rushes into heaven and fills my view.

So, as usual, my nightmare is over.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

“Huh …”

When I noticed, my view was pitch black.

And it is soft to discoloration, has a bloody odor, and has a slight liquor odor.

Thanks to the soft touch that I feel, I know what I’m doing right now. It’s a little complicated.

Cheryl was still hugging me and sleeping beside me.

But I don’t feel unpleasant. Rather calm down.

I’ve never been so laid back so far.

Rather than being busy, it wasn’t long before it settled down. Well, such a place …

I was sleeping with the child of that beast.

I’m sleeping. Just seeing her little back move up and down made me feel like I saw the breath of life.

I look down and sleep happily.

Ah……. Really.

“Did Cheryl protect me like this? I’m suffering from a nightmare …”

When I notice it, my eyelids are swollen.

Apparently I was crying.

“Ah……”

I raised my face.

Looking around. It’s my familiar room.

But nothing was supposed to be there.

“What? What about the beast?”

I asked, but I didn’t get an answer.

That baby is sleeping on the side. But what does it mean to have no parents?

“No longer with her.”

Cheryl gets up while scratching her black hair. Her constricted belly has a bandage wrapped around it, which is very painful.

The color was much better than when I last saw it.

However, there was something more worrisome to me than the resurrection of parents.

“Is she a sacred beast?”

“What else is there? Wow …”

Cheryl makes a big yawn.

This is where the baby’s mother has disappeared and is going back and forth.

“Where did you go? Or is the beast safe?”

I ask questions in quick succession.

“Calm down, Zelet. I don’t really understand. I mean, when I noticed, there was no one and you were lying on the snow. You were pretty dangerous.”

She pushed my forehead with her finger and warned me.

“Raquel is in ice. Gangel is about to freeze to death. He’s still alive.”

“Is it alright?”

“Ah?”

“The sacred beast”

“……… Isn’t it okay?”

“Cheryl is too optimistic, even though she’s a baby …”

“I think she was exhausted over there. She gave birth with a body that was almost like a child. Even if she regained her strength, it would be difficult to do it in a half-hearted way. It is possible that she returned to Shin’iki.”

“Shin’iki?”

“It’s a place where it is said that there is a god. Because the beast is originally there.”

“Then why didn’t she bring her baby?”

“I don’t know that. As I said earlier, that beast is a child. Maybe she decided she couldn’t raise a child herself. She was about to kill the child. She’s a little guilty.”

And that’s what Cheryl continued.

“She thought you were a trustworthy person, Zelet.”

“What? That means —-“

It means that you will take the place of the mother of the beast.
