A Misunderstood Mentor

"There's only mountains over there."

The old man stopped me from leaving the city of Nat after I finished preparing for the roundabout.

I don't suppose you're thinking of living in the mountains with that big gear?

"No, I'm just going to pick some wild vegetables." I'll be right back. "

I don't want to rough things up, so I laugh and lie.

I was actually going to stay in the mountains and live alone.

I've come this far to find out that no one lives in this mountain.

"Isn't it true? Look, you can never go higher than your stomach. From there, it's the territory of the dog god."

Dog God of Mount Bolt.

I heard the story many times from people in the city as I was preparing to go to the mountains.

About a hundred years ago, when the city of Nat was attacked by a horde of monsters, the dog god who appeared from Mount Bolt was said to have helped me.

Since then, the people of the city have never approached the Dog God's territory from the midst of Mount Bolt.

"Oh, okay. It's not going to work, it's not going to work"

The suspicious old man set off towards the mountain with his ass in view.

A mountain where no one comes.

That's why I chose this place.

While being the weakest person I recognized, I became an adventurer and formed a party with the Great Sage.

Then, I picked up Alice, who seemed to be the strongest of humanity, and taught her the way as a human.

I felt like I had completed all the roles I had to do.

After that, I thought that I would live alone and relax.

Uwaaaaaaaaa

We were running at full speed.

I found a cave that seemed to be easy to live in, so when I went in, there were early customers.

Big Bear.

A big brown giant, about twice as big as me, comes after me in a rage.

Overwhelmingly faster than me. Flee desperately while throwing away the gear you have prepared for the city.

When I tossed my bag, I was lucky that Big Bear showed me an interest in it.

Probably thanks to the food that was in there.

The Big Bear runs away like he rolls while he tears off his bag in a crush.

On my first day alone in the mountains, I lost all my gear.

Three days later, when I arrived there, I was already full (worn out).

Speaking of what I ate, it was only a small tree nut and I didn't drink much water.

It was a time when I was completely lost and unable to return to the city.

I found a large rock altar in front of me.

And on top of them are fruits of all kinds, and fresh flesh, as mountains.

Could it be a tribute from the city?

I think I shouldn't, but my hand is stretched out.

It's incomplete. What is it about me that I try to do with my offering?

I didn't see the figure.

However, your voice sounds like you're in front of me.

"...... Inugami. Were you really there?"

"My name is Gala (Character). I'm the dog god Gala..." Hey, hey, what are you eating? Listen to me. "

Even the gods worshipped by the people of the city had nothing to do with it.

If you don't eat now, you'll die.

I'm going to take any punishment and I'm going to crush the feast in front of me.

"It's a strawberry I've taken care of." Ah! Even my favorite lever! No, for now, just once, just calm down. "

I settled down after I ate almost everything.

"No, I ate it, I ate it. I'm finally settling down."

Accept any punishment. I don't complain about being killed. Because if I hadn't eaten, I'd be dead.

Vuvuvu

There is a dog god named Una.

But it wasn't that powerful, and it looked cuter than I imagined.

I still can't see you, but... hh? Well, it looks like it's a little boisterous.

When he stared, it clearly appeared on the stone altar where the ingredients were gone.

It was a small dog. It's a very small dog.

It's a dog breed I've never seen before, with a long torso and short legs.

I'm wearing something like a kimono and I have eyebrows like a mahogany.

She was barking at me on the altar, but her little tail rattled.

I accidentally put my hand in front of my eyes.

Your hand.

Pupu, the feel of the meatballs spread to my hands.

"No, what are you doing, you rude!" No, no, wait, do you see me!? "

"Yeah, I can see it. It's super cute."

Oh, seriously!

That was the encounter with Inugami Gara-sama.

It's the first time you've seen me in this world in a hundred years.

Why do you only see me?

I don't know, maybe it's because you're too poor and I'm losing my vigilance...

Yeah. It was a little tearful and it was hard to see Kara-sama.

”Well, anyway, you had better get down from the mountain. You don't have the strength to live here."

"No, that's the only place left." As an adventurer, I don't want to bother everyone. "

It's better not to lick the mountain. I can't live much longer. "

I know.

Everything was lost on the first day.

But I still had no choice but to stay here.

“It's okay, I'm going to eat it with this tribute until I get used to mountain life.”

That's because it's mine!!

Kara-sama barked.

"People don't ask God, do they?" Don't worry, when you can live in the mountains, I'll give you a tribute in return. "

'Eh, eh. Really? Could you bring me some fresh leaves or something?

"Oh, leave it to me."

Kara-sama had a lot of trouble.

Until I got used to living in the mountains, Kara-sama took care of me a lot.

They kicked Big Bear out of his first cave, taught him how to hunt little beasts, taught him a lot.

Three years passed, and when I was used to the mountains, Master Gallo, who was always there, disappeared.

When I walked to the first stone altar, I noticed it, but I couldn't see it.

"I can do it alone now, so I can't see?"

I asked, but Kara-sama didn't reply.

Garo-sama told me what I needed to know and disappeared on his own volition.

Thank you so much, Gara-sama.

It was only a little sad that I could no longer see the pretty figure.

"Takumi doesn't usually cook levers, does she?" Are you not good at it? "

Leia spoke to me while I was eating rabbit meat.

Since then, only the lever has been supplied to Kara-sama.

“No, this is a thank-you.”

If I give you a lever in front of the big rock in front of the cave, it will definitely disappear the next day.

I guess Kara-sama was still looking at me.

“Thank you? To whom? Speaking of which, there's a small sign....."

The wind carries a nostalgic smell through the trees.

Woof, I felt like I could hear a squeaking voice.
