"Go, Valkyrie!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Cuey!　Cuey!"

　Valkyrie's sprinting speed increased even more with my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was all I could do to hold on to it so that it wouldn't shake me off, but I managed to turn its head backward to check it out.

　With a thud, thud, thud sound, the big boars are running after us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the lead boar, which was hit by my shotgun attack, is chasing us with bloodshot eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess they are not going to forgive me for attacking them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The boars were running very fast, by the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was running after Valkyrie as if he was trying to keep up with her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The boar was running at a furious pace, just like the word "boar-rush".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The size of the boar is so big that it puts a lot of pressure on the chasing party.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's exactly what I was aiming for. Now, jump, Valkyrie!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this chase was not what I had in mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the beginning, I never intended for my magic to decide the game.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rather, my greatest weapon was not magic, but the Valkyrie, the beast that would work with me.

"Cuey!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Valkyrie screamed while running at high speed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And this was no mere squeal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the Valkyrie casting a magic spell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The speed was fast up to that point, but it increased even more from there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is so fast that the surrounding scenery flows backward in an instant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Valkyrie used [Physical Enhancement].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a simple magic that sends a well-composed magic power to the whole body, and temporarily increases physical abilities.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, unlike the magic that I, a child, use to draw water, the effect of the magic used by Valkyrie, an adult horse-shaped beast, is tremendous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if the rate of enhancement by magic power is the same, the basic value of physical ability is different, so the increase in value is higher in Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Valkyrie with such enhanced physical functions jumps, kicking the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder how far she jumped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was struck by a floating sensation as if I were flying in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And right after that, it landed on the ground with a thud.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I almost fall off the back of the Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Boom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was struggling to keep from falling, clinging to Valkyrie's body with the reins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a terrible noise behind me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After landing, the Valkyrie, which had been moving forward for a while, slowed down, then reversed and went back toward the direction of the noise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a big hole.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or perhaps it is too big to be called a hole.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A crack as if the earth had been split open.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was in the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The crack in the earth was nearly 10 meters wide and deep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, this was a pit I had prepared in advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A half-hearted attack will not work against the huge boar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then what should I do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My answer was to use his power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My magical attack made the boar so angry that Valkyrie lured it into a fissure in the earth and it fled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Valkyrie makes a big leap just before the crack and jumps over it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the boar, which has been chasing after the Valkyrie in anger, cannot jump over the crack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He has no choice but to fall down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, I guess he's not alive..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I did so from atop Valkyrie, looking down at the bottom of the crack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I probably hit my head on the wall of the fissure across from me when I jumped into the fissure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could see the boar's head bleeding profusely, and it was lying dead at the bottom of the fissure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The one I attacked and the other cubs are dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel sorry for them, but it can't be helped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least I'll get to enjoy them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"All right, let's go home, Valkyrie."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so ended my first battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"My goodness, they really did defeat the big boar. I can't believe it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're good, Ars. That's my brother for you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I returned home and reported to Mr. Maddock and my brother Bite that I had killed the big boar, they were each surprised.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess Mr. Maddock did not expect me to kill the boar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard later that he was trying to think of a way to drive them back to the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, at any rate, it's going to be all right now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you talking about, Ars? There's no way the big boar is done with them alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It means there are other big boars that will destroy the fields. If they come out again, do me a favor, little brother."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, come on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What are you talking about, a**h*le brother?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't want to have to do the long jump every time we make a hole like that with a boar chasing us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought it was over... but it's not!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's how I got sent out every time a big boar appeared.
