This year, ten years after my reincarnation, I was finally allowed to enter the Grand Old Man's Forest on my own. My father had said it was okay for me to enter the forest when I was eight years old, but my mother was adamantly opposed to it, so he postponed it until I was ten years old. However, he said he had to be home by evening.

　Therefore, I decided to learn 'flight' magic during the two years from the age of eight.

　I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any more of this stuff, so I'm going to have to make sure that I'm not going to have to worry about it.

　I'm going to use this flying spell to fly to the place where I've gone before, and from there I'm going to continue my search to gain experience.

　One day after I had spent half a year like this, I looked up a 10km radius around me in the "search" and found two large reactions at the edge of the search area.

　I appraised those reactions.

His name... is Golden Fenrir.　
Gender...male
Rank...A
Species...

His name... is Silverio Fenrir.　
Gender...female
Rank...A
Species...

　I answered. My current location is about 20 km from the village, and the demon is less than 30 km from the village. And it's getting closer and closer to us. Even though it's in the forest, a beast-shaped demon would be able to reach 30km in two hours.

　So I decided to approach it from above without it noticing me, hiding my presence as much as possible, thinking that even the worst case scenario would be to turn it away.

　After about 10 minutes of flying, I was able to find it, and I observed it from about 100 meters up in the sky, but both of them were blackened and somewhat sluggish. I met my eyes with one of them, perhaps because I was staring at it.

　I'm not sure if I should have set up a surprise attack and defeated it all at once, but I jumped out of the sky and tried to make a breakaway strategy with my magic.

　As I unleashed my ice magic 'Ice Lance', I suddenly felt the same sensation as I did with Slarin.

　I hurriedly released the magic and descended behind a tree about 30 meters in front of the two wolves, ready to produce a barrier with magic at any time.

　I'm not sure if it's my own blood or the return blood, but it seems to have been blackened by a lot of blood, as I found out when I approached, slowly approaching the tree as a shield, both of them were about four meters long.

　They seemed to be on guard, but did not seem to have any hostile intent.

　They looked at each other for nearly five minutes at a distance of about fifteen meters, and then, just as they were about to approach, they suddenly stood up and growled at their surroundings.

　I was surprised and tried to jump backwards to get some distance, but something jumped at me from the side with its mouth wide open at the landing spot.

　I'm going to be the first to say that I'm not going to be the only one. The true identity of the thing that was skewered is a B+ demon called the Dragon Snake.

　Not only is the dragon snake a B+ monster, it is also a B+ monster, which is not a good thing, as it often acts in packs of four to five to hunt its prey. Their danger level increases to A to A+ when they are plural. They are usually 7 to 8 meters long, and some of the larger ones can reach over 10 meters.

　Our search revealed that there are eight of them hiding around the perimeter, except for one that has been skewered to death. Even if you try to escape by flying, their leaping power using their entire bodies lightly exceeds 10 meters. If the timing is wrong, they'll clobber you for defenselessness, and it's better to take them out one by one while there are two wolves in the room than to let that happen. That is, if the wolves were willing to fight together.

　Thus began the brawl with the Dragon Snake's intrusion.

(Three for me and five for the wolves, or could this one get away?)

　But if Tenma escaped here, the wolves would be killed. More importantly, if the dragon snake wasn't satisfied with the wolves, there was a risk that the worst thing that could happen was that they would attack the village.

(What the hell, these demons would come to a shallow position in the forest!

　In the vast area of the Great Old Man's Forest, this position, about 30km from the forest break, was still a shallow place, and usually only had about C-rank demons. Originally, A and B rank demons are rarely seen more than 100km away.

　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

(What the hell are these guys?) Are you hesitating after seeing the magic you just returned with? (Or is there an agenda...)

GANG!

　At that moment, the wolves' screams came from behind Tenma. Tenma turned around and saw that the wolves were outnumbered. One of them had been hit by a body blow and had fallen down, while the other seemed to have bitten and crushed its way to the dragon snake's head, but another individual had bitten its throat and was in a desperate state.

　The three animals that had surrounded Tenma seemed to see the moment that Tenma was concerned about the wolves as an opportunity to attack them all at once.

''Don't lick them!''

　It is a very good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.
　The head and body parts of the three dragon snakes continued to move, perhaps not realizing that they had been cut, but Tenma left them alone and ran towards the wolves.

　There were two individuals dying near the wolves, one with its abdomen bitten off and one with its head chewed off.

'Take this one!'

　It is a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　The individual biting the wolf's neck had a three-centimeter hole in his head, and although he did not die instantly, the intense pain and impact left him sprawled on the ground. It wasn't going to last much longer.

　The other two were on the verge of pouncing on the fallen wolf, but when the air-bullet knocked them out, they realized that the other six had been killed and ran away in a flash.

　Tenma looked at the wolves, but the one that had been bitten on the throat was already dead, and the one that had fallen could have died at any moment.

　Seeing that too much blood was spilled and the damage was too much for his recovery magic to work, Tenma noticed something strange about the wolf as he approached it to at least make it easier.

　His belly was large, not that he was fat or anything. I thought it might be a pool of blood, but I realized my mistake. The milk was taut. In other words, she must have a baby.

　The wolf began to breathe hard in front of Tenma's eyes as he thought that. It had begun to give birth.

　Tenma watched the wolf, wary of any other predators approaching, as he watched the wolf.

　It had probably been about ten minutes since the wolf began to breathe. One white baby was born.

　The wolf was apparently in a dangerous state and couldn't seem to move his body, but he moved his face and eyes slightly to look at Tenma.

　As soon as his eyes met the wolf's, Tenma quickly picked up the pup and held it out in front of the wolf's eyes.

　With the wolf unable to move, he stuck out his tongue and used all his strength to clean his own child.

　Eventually he finished licking it clean and looked at Tenma again. Tenma takes the cubs to the milk now, and the cubs suckle and drink their mother's milk desperately.

　By the time the cub finished drinking its mother's milk, the wolf was already breathing away with a satisfied look on its face.

　Tenma put the corpses of the two wolves and six dragon snakes into a dimension bag, then picked up the little wolf and turned it into his family.

'I'm going to take those wolves' place in your family.

　That's what I told the little wolf.

Your name is Shirou... yes, Shirou-maru!

Swoon.

Nice to meet you, Shiroumaru!

　Thus, Tenma had a new family member...or rather, a new family member.
