Chapter 7: Blood Rush

"Please....hel...p..." (???)

Do you want to accept the quest?

YES NO

A weak feminine voice rang out from the green haired person that came out of the woods right before collapsing.

There's something wrong here...Well, yeah, finding a pretty girl in the middle of the woods collapsing is also unusual and suspicious but this one...how do I say this?

I can see through her.

Literally.

I can see the ground through her...this isn't an added effect of [Dragon Eyes] right?

I checked just in case for the description and it really didn't say anything about X-ray vision. Only farsight and thermal vision.

I mean, yeah, I can use thermal vision to see heat signatures behind cold objects like walls but I only see a red blurred silhouette of the heat.

I can't see details like colors or the pebbles beneath a collapsed person.

And...oh? [Dragon Eyes] has reached Master level...and the new effect is X-ray vision...huh? Then how come I was able to see through her before?

I thought but Eu immediately answered my problem.

"A spirit?...Why would a spirit show herself to anyone? More importantly, for such a creature to collapse and ask for help..." (Euomun)

"A spirit?" (Lucas)

"Oh, yes. They are different kinds of spirit, explaining all of them would take too long but this one here is clearly a forest spirit." (Euomun)

Then if this spirit is here...she must be [Dorville Forest's] spirit?

But if that's the case, then why the forest would be named after a monster?

"Spirits don't usually show themselves to anyone, hence, no one has ever heard of their names so the forest is named after different sources. In fact, they were believed to be a mere myth by humans." (Euomun)

I see.

Certainly, if the spirit doesn't show itself, then others would naturally ignore such a thing...but can Eu read minds or something?

Anyway, what are we to do with this?

I only have 2 days till time unfreezes.

"Well, not my problem. Let's go Eu." (Lucas)

I clicked the [No] in the quest confirmation window that I've ignored till now.

That's right, why would I help her anyway? It's not like helping her would cause world peace.

For a while, Eu let out a shocked expression.

"A-are you serious? Aren't you a [Hero]?" (Euomun)

"Wrong, that's just what they call me without my consent. Hm?" (Lucas)

I thought Eu would be the one that will force me to stop so I had turned my back to her immediately but...in front of me were the monsters I tamed.

From them, a single [Dorville] stepped out as if it were the representative of the group...come to think of it, I think this one is the first monster I tamed, Vil.

"What do you want?" (Lucas)

Vil stretched out her hands...rather, paws, towards me.

"What? You want me to stop and help this spirit forest?" (Lucas)
