The Child Hunter Little Red Riding Hood (4)
“Did two wolves come? It seems one more has entered. Then, this grandma will catch one for you.”
“Ugh…”
“Why are you like that, dear?”
Little Red Riding Hood was expecting to hunt the wolf.
It was because she remembered the wicked and evil wolf stories her mother had told her.
When her mother was Little Red Riding Hood’s age. The heroic tale of how she had beautifully hunted the wolf that entered this forest.
Little Red Riding Hood also wanted to hunt the wolf like her mother and be recognized as a monster hunter.
So, gripping a large hunting knife, hiding the training sawed-off shotgun, and luring the wolf.
Oh no!
Little Red Riding Hood had forgotten that aiming with one hand was difficult.
But she couldn’t let go of the knife. Her mother, whom Little Red Riding Hood loved, used a knife.
“Grandma. I want to hunt the wolf by myself too!”
“Eh? Are you sure it’s okay?”
“Yeah! I’m going to do it alone! I can do it!”
Little Red Riding Hood was a good child, but because she was young, she sometimes threw tantrums.
And Little Red Riding Hood’s grandma, from childhood, loved this kind and pure granddaughter more than her bad daughter who didn’t listen.
“Aigoo, then! Our Little Red Riding Hood can do it all by herself!”
“Yeah!”
“Aigoo, good. Then, I have to come back before it’s over? Grandma is preparing a delicious dinner at the hut.”
“Yeah!”
Putting her beloved granddaughter in a forest with two wolves?
It was an unbelievable thing, but this family handled the power of red.
Even if there were two, they were just wolves. It was like going out to the front yard to catch a nap.
Yes.
Ordinary.
If it were a normal wolf by Faelim standards.
“Hihi. I have to catch the wolf and get praised by mom!”
Little Red Riding Hood ran away from her grandma.
In Faelim, there were no ninjas, but Little Red Riding Hood jumping from tree to tree looked like she was watching a ninja.
She didn’t forget to stop midway to check the wolf’s location.
“Eh? The wolves are going the same way? Perfect!”
Clang
Little Red Riding Hood infused Red Qi into the gun.
Surely those two wolves were friends.
In Faelim, wolves are wicked and naughty animals. They lure children and eat woodcutters.
They never form families, wander alone, imitate mothers’ voices to open doors.
Two such wolves had come to this forest, so they must be planning something terrible, right?
I have to hear what they’re saying! And tell mom about the evil wolf’s plan!
The hunter Little Red Riding Hood aimed the gun at a position where she could shoot both wolves at once.
And she was about to eavesdrop on the two wolves’ conspiracy. So that the story she tells mom would be richer.
“Smart. That’s right. I’m originally a human. My name is Sihoo.”
Eh?
**
I don’t know the wolf’s fighting techniques.
In my human days, I hadn’t fought anything, and I hadn’t even seen martial arts.
The only memory was watching a taekwondo demonstration at a school festival when I was young.
Of course, transforming into a wolf’s body for fighting is impossible. Even if I could, biting the side would be real impossible. I couldn’t do it even as a human.
Other than that.
Perhaps the weird comic about the strange uncle and high school students fighting that my friend showed me.
I don’t know how to use claws.
Not even the position where teeth touch.
If I try to pull them off forcibly and follow.
Now, the only way is this.
I did it all day.
Put strength in my legs.
Lower my body.
Breathe in.
Then, take a big breath.
Kick the ground noisily.
“Die!”
“!!”
Boom!
No technique, just a tackle with full power.
From the side, a cool sound of breathing. The bitten place was slimy with saliva and blood.
The teeth—
Didn’t pull out. Instead, bit harder.
“Kr, kuaaa……Stupid friend……You really thought this would work…?”
“No. I didn’t expect you to pull it out.”
No more acceleration from running.
What’s left is only my wolf body size.
Ramming and pushing the bigger, heavier body desperately.
“Krueuk…!”
“Oraaat!!!”
Boom!
Boom!!
Kwang!!
The more it hit the tree, the stronger the force and sound, and the tree that was standing straight slowly leaned.
In extreme situations, they say superhuman strength comes out? Surely I would now.
And this wolf too.
“Aaaah! This guy really thinks he’ll go to the end!”
“Kiheok! Kiheokheok! Friend……You can’t beat me….”
“Alright, man! If you die, I’ll bury you in the tree!”
The biting force that gets stronger the more it is pressed against the tree.
The pain that was bearable at first gradually becomes unbearable.
Nevertheless.
Even knowing it would hurt more, my body didn’t stop.
My body’s already not usable as a cushion. The more force I put, the bigger the reaction on my body.
But I don’t think of stopping.
This wolf too. Even though it could just open its mouth and back off, it keeps holding on.
The resolve to kill me before I die.
Damn, did I get bitten in the vital spot? The textbook doesn’t teach even dog’s vital spot.
Then I too!!!
The more it hurts, the closer death feels, the more strength surges in my whole body.
I have to kill this guy before I die.
The struggle of someone whose survival instinct has been completely transformed into adrenaline, a beast that can’t be helped.
“Kruaaa…!”
“Ahh! You rough old lady! You really did it big to me! You really did it big!”
Kwang!!!
Kwang!!!
Kwa-gwang!!!
Repetition of brutal tackles.
But inside that brutality, a little bit, the body follows how to hit to make it stronger.
With a wolf’s body different from a human’s body. To pull as much force as possible.
The power stepping on the ground.
As it rises, add rotation.
Breathe in and out.
Tackle. This is it—
A punch thrown with the body!
Kua-gwang!!!!
Legs shaking.
When I don’t know if the indiscriminately bouncing is the wolf’s blood or my flesh.
In the end, the endless strong shock makes the tree unable to hold and fall.
This big tree broke with a crunch, but two wolves are holding on.
Then, is it fantasy?
“Ki, kiheok, kiheheok! Friend……I’m not dying…”
“Smiling?”
“Krung?”
Thinking that with the tree broken, no way to attack. A dirty laugh comes from the side.
But the tree?
There are plenty of such trees in this forest.
“Just one broken tree, what does that mean!”
“Kegek…!”
Kwang!!!!
My body ran again and hit the tree next to it.
During the run, the brown wolf didn’t let go. Still, whether it was there or not, or if it had no will to back off.
The only thing certain is that this wolf is tougher than the tree.
“Ku, kuheok……W-wait…”
“Eiiit! Why did it break already!”
The tree, which was weaker than the one it had been hitting so far, went over with one tackle.
Of course, the teeth stayed stuck.
Instead, this time, no laugh sound.
“St-stop…”
“It’s not over yet!!!”
Kwang!!!!
Another one. One more tree.
Every time I threw my body somewhere, the tree went over with a crunch sound, and our bodies rolled.
But a little bit.
I feel the biting force on my side weakening.
“Kr, kru…”
“You!!”
Kwang!!!!
“Until you pull out!!!”
Kwang!!!!
“I won’t stop!!!”
Kwa-kwang!!!!!
I don’t know where I slammed my body, but anyway, when it hit something.
“Kulak…!”
The pain I’ve never felt before.
A feeling of something coming out from inside and a firm touch.
When I come to my senses and look around, my body was rolling on the broken tree.
“Ha……haha……I should have just pulled out instead of holding on……Where do I think I’ll go to the end….”
The brown wolf has become a red wolf in appearance.
With foam from the mouth and eyes rolling, hanging below me.
“You……You must have been hungry more than me…?”
It came out.
Finally, couldn’t hold on and the jaw’s strength gave out.
Or perhaps it had already given out and came out due to the shock.
“Maybe not.”
I won.
My victory.
The evil wolf is lying down and I am standing firmly on four legs.
But.
“It hurts so much…!!”
How hard did you bite!
The reaction from the wolf’s biting force and full power tackle.
Legs trembling. The forgotten pain is coming all at once.
“Wound……I can’t see it. Can I not see the side with a wolf’s body?”
Or perhaps it’s because it’s painful and the body doesn’t move.
Since I can’t touch it, I don’t know what happened to the bitten side.
The only thing I can tell is that the teeth came out and bleeding.
“I have to stop the bleeding……I need treatment……But where…”
“Ah.”
While enduring the pain, barely standing up, I saw something I shouldn’t see and our eyes met.
“U-uh…”
A gun in one hand. A large knife in the other.
A girl in bright red clothes visible from far away.
Holding the gun to my face.
“Ah……Hello?”
“U, uuu…”
It’s Little Red Riding Hood.
Is this not a second round here…?
**
Little Red Riding Hood was surprised.
The wolf called herself human?
That wasn’t particularly surprising. Wolves are animals that love to lie.
What surprised Little Red Riding Hood was what happened after.
The fight between the two wolves.
And the big wolf trembling.
The fact that it was bitten first was true, but from Little Red Riding Hood’s view, the brown wolf was just clinging to the fleeing wolf and being dragged.
And the tackle towards the tree.
The giant tree was knocked down, and the increasingly stronger tackle eventually broke even a tree twice as thick as the first one in one hit.
Martial arts…
It was similar to the martial arts Little Red Riding Hood was training. But a wolf.
And what was most surprising was what she said in the middle.
“Wolf. Do you know our grandma?”
“Grandma…? I don’t know at all?”
“I said earlier. Grandma said she won.”
“Eh……That is…”
The wolf uncle was just saying whatever he wanted.
But the young Little Red Riding Hood didn’t understand such things and thought it was a known fact.
At the same time, it was strange that she said such words while fighting the wolf. Was she trying to deceive someone?
Perhaps this person was really human?
“Hmm……I don’t know. I’ll ask grandma.”
Little Red Riding Hood clapped. Then, red waves occurred from both hands.
To the wolf, it looked like she was scared, but this was not for attack but for treatment. A technique that replenishes life energy with Red Qi.
But the wolf had to ask an even more important question.
“You……Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Yeah. Why?”
This place is the mysterious land of Faelim.
Wolves that speak human language are not rare.
