End of Century Chapter 03

"Awakened"    The sprawling city of "Kusano" centered around a large shopping district.    On the road leading into the city, a protective barriers is erected from the inside, fortified with construction fences, iron plates, and piles of building debris.     On the outermost layer, abandoned cars are lined up, with sharply pointed iron pipes and reinforcing bars jutting out from their interiors.    With this, monsters wouldn't easily get in.    The city's sole entrance is the arched gate of the shopping district.    At the entrance, two gatekeepers stand, along with an aluminum gate that commonly seen at construction sites.    The gatekeepers, pointing the makeshift spear, at the three. Saeki, Shimada, and Kato. "You, travelers. What brings you to this city? Migration? Or just lodging?" "We've come from Kyushu. We'd like to rent a room for the night."    The gatekeepers looked at the three with suspicion.    Kato in particular was

"The Decision of the Saint Party"    After eating the grilled fish, it was decided that they would stay overnight to relieve everyone's fatigue.     They would sleep from evening until sunrise and then head to the lake.    Minato, Taro, and Pipi slept inside the cave, while the saint entourage set up their tents outside. "You don't need to hold back~"  "Woof woof~" "No, it's alright. We have plenty of camping supplies."    Minato thought that there were various reasons for them to decline, such as being women and needing to change. "I see. If you get cold, feel free to come over anytime!"  "Woof woof~"    With that, Minato and the others went to sleep inside the cave.     Minato clung to Taro belly, and Pipi snuggled into Taro's fur before falling asleep.    Thanks to Taro fur, it was warm even without a blanket.    After Minato and the others had fallen asleep, the archer Sanya spoke up. "Agnes... I start

" The Saints and Protective Instinct "    Upon hearing growl of the saint stomach, Minato quickly spoke up. "Ah, let's eat! I'll grill some delicious fish, everyone come!" "Woof woof~"  "Pii~"    Minato, Taro, and Pipi dashed out of the cave.  "No, please don't worry."    While saying this, the saint followed Minato and his companions out of the cave. "Don't mind us! It's sad when you're hungry, you know?" "Woof woof~" "Taro wants you to eat too!"    In Minato previous life, his mother only came back occasionally.     Because of this, Minato and Taro were always hungry.     So, when they saw someone with an empty stomach, they couldn't just leave them be. "I'll grill them right away!"    While saying this, Minato took some river fish from Sarakia bag and skewered them onto branches.     The bag itself was a special kind of magical bag, valuable but still something t

" The Reason for the Saint's Visit "    Minato and Taro didn't notice that they were being regarded with awe by Agnes and the others. "Are you hungry? I'll prepare some food for you."  "Wafu wafu~" "Your are too kind! It's alright! We are deeply grateful!"    This was exclaimed by Hector, an older human male temple knight.     He was in his sixties and not only a skilled warrior, but also a devout believer who could use healing magic. "Oh, I see. Don't be shy." "Wafu wafu!"    As they chatted, they soon arrived at a place where a large number of statues made by Minato and the others were lined up.    To the astonishment of Gilbert and the others, Agnes and the temple knight Hector widened their eyes. "Saint-sama. I can't believe my own eyes."    Both the devout priest, and the saint, trembled at the divine power emanating from the statues.    However, those who were not priests were not as sen

" The Saint's Party "    Minato rode on Taro back, while Pipi flew above them, heading towards the visitors.     After running for about five minutes on Taro foot, they saw a group of human under attack by a curserer .     The curserer resembled a two-meter tall bear made entirely of mud.     It emitted a black mist-like miasma from its entire body.     It was the same type of curserer that Minato and Taro usually dealt with, meaning it was a weak one.     Most likely, a defenseless travelers had accidentally wandered into its territory.     That's what both Minato and Taro thought. "Wafu?" "Yeah, Taro, please."    Normally, Minato would have said, "I'll defeat it!" But now, there were people in need of protection.     While Minato could handle it, Taro was faster and more reliable. "Wafuu!"    With Minato still on its back, Taro charged at the curserer , slashing it down with its claws.     It was done in an instant.     Fo

" Status and Sacred Statues " "Fuwaaahhh, I slept well!"    When Minato woke up, the outside of the cave was bright.     He buried his face in Taro belly, who was sleeping beside him like a cocoon. "Mmm, such a nice smell!" "...Gaa?" "Pii?" "Good morning, Taro, Pippi. I feels really good for some reason!" "Wafuu~"  "Pee~"    Minato went outside with Taro and pipi. "Fuwaaa~"  "Waaau~"  "Piiii"    Stepping outside, he looked up at the red sky and stretched out again.    For some reason, he felt full of vitality, and brimming with energy. "Taro. Is it evening now?"    After waking up in the morning, i was naming the sacred beasts, and getting tired in the afternoon. "Wau~" "Huh? It's morning? I slept for such a long time. Are you guys hungry?" "Wafuwafu"  "Pii~"    Minato and the others ate the leftovers breakfast that the sacr

" Contract Rush " "I'm tired..."  "Pii~" "Wafuwafu!"    Taro sprawls out, enveloping Minato and Pipi on their bedding.    They've successfully dispelled curses from nearly a hundred and sixty sacred beasts today. It's only natural to be exhausted. "But Pipi helped with the dispelling, so I'm really grateful!" "Pii~"    In total, Minato dispelled around a hundred and twenty, while Pipi handled about thirty.     If Minato had done it alone, they would have to work for another two or three hours after sunset. "Thanks, Taro. Because of you, we could eat." "Wafu." Taro's contribution was remarkable. "But, I wonder if the river fish... will be okay..." "Wafuu." "...I see, I guess it'll be fine."    And then, Minato fell asleep. It's only natural for a five-year-old to get sleepy.    The next day, when Minato and the others wake up and step outside their bu
