《Gallinus》21- Third floor
Advertisement
The sky is orange, with some clouds passing over it.
Meanwhile, Suzy and I start moving.
- ... Didn’t you tell me not to worry?! My back is hurting now! - Suzy says angrily while holding me tightly in her hands.
I’m surprise at how you don’t have any bruises on your body...
- Galizé, can’t you at least feel a little guilty?!
Well, maybe that’s my mistake, but for you to trust me so easily... How innocent are you?
- Why wouldn’t I trust you?
... If an animal came out of nowhere and started talking to me, I would certainly stay away.
- ... You’re right. - She murmurs, while looking at me, before saying positively. - But now I know that you will not try anything.
I’m afraid of how easy it must be to deceive you...
With this brief conversation of ours, we make our way through the forest to a heap of rocks.
We are looking for a place to hide, since the place we were in can be dangerous at the moment.
Mainly because of Suzy’s cry of pain after she fell off the tree.
By the way, why do you remain in this world while your family left?
Because of Suzy’s tiredness, I decided to wait until this moment to ask.
But, as soon as I ask, Suzy stops her steps.
- ...Actually, I don’t even know. - She says in a weak voice.
How don’t you know?
- Somehow, I don’t have many memories of the past...
And your mother? Didn’t she tell you?
Even if I ask this, in fact, I already know the answer.
After what her mother told me, I’m sure she’s trying to hide something from Suzy.
The girl shake her head slightly, indicating that, really, nothing has been said.
Anyway, there are still some other questions I would like to know... First, after hearing the story, why will Astral Passage be activate again?
- What do you mean, why?
If this Qi is so important, then why is it going to be spent again to activate the passage? I believe it also cannot be recover, right?

- ... I’m not sure either, but I think the elder is looking for a person who can bring God into this world again.
So, whenever he can, does this elder activate the passage?
- Yes, the last time seems to have been about 4 years ago...
Getting the information Suzy tells me and everything I have observed so far, it is easy for me to conclude that the people of this world are trying to improve because of the lack of Qi.
In addition, most likely some people who left this world in the past, returned with new cultures.
It is no wonder that i felt the logic of this world strange....
- You think? I always thought it was normal world.
Our worldview is totally different... Ah, I also wanted to know, what was that situation on our first encounter?
- On the first encounter... When did I summon you?
Yes, I couldn’t understand your words, so what was going on?
- ... That was a ritual to try to summon a God to this world.
... It’s not an evil cult, right?
- No! Also, even if it was, I had to get out of it because of you!
Wise choice, there is no one better than me when compare to me.
- ... Maybe I should have chosen to stay there.
Continuing with conversations similar to these, we find a place to hide among the rocks.
Well, now it’s time to see what’s in that bag!
- Don’t you know?
Girl, if it was for me to know what I’m going to steal, I’d rob a store.
- Actually, you shouldn’t even steal in the first place.
Well, it’s that old saying, the thief who steals last is the one who steals best.
- Although I never heard this saying, I’m sure it shouldn’t be like that!
Despite the brief discussion, Suzy open the bag and start to take out the objects inside.
... Does this guy have a weapon addiction?
Each time Suzy took her hand out of the bag, a different weapon appears. The amount of weapons he stole from other participants is incredible.

In addition, there are also the four elemental stones that the thief had gathered and a cloth to cover his mouth.
- ... How much can we get by selling these weapons?
Since I don’t know anything about the money in this world, I can only say it should be enough.
- You know, you better not answer when you don’t know.
I want that too, but you read all my thoughts!! It is impossible for me not to answer something!
- True...
Anyway, take this cloth and tie it around my neck, so i can hide this necklace.
Suzy seems to want to question me, but she soon notice the reason for my request.
This necklace seems to be valuable and some people end up recognizing it, so it is better to hide it quickly.
Before covering me necklace, the girl tore the cloth in half and the used one part to tie like a belt, while the other part served to cover my necklace.
After that, Suzy keeps the weapons in her bag and only keeps a halberd spear and two knuckles.
... Come here, don’t you have your own fighting style?
As soon as I ask her, Suzy ties her bag to her cloth belt and then turns to me while swinging the spear naturally. It seems the brass knuckles in your hand don’t affect your handling at all.
- Well, I’m certainly better with my fists, but I also know how to use any weapon at my disposal.
If you know how to fight with anything, then why do you regret it so much!?
- Even though I’m good at fighting, I’m still weak in my cultivation!!
Is it so disadvantageous to be weaker in cultivation!?
- Yes, to the point that I am unable to touch a person with a cultivation at a higher stage than mine!
Right... By the way, later you have to explain more about this cultivation.
- Then I’ll tell you everything you want to know, but now we must go.
As soon as she say that, Suzy gathered the four elemental stones and, after a brief moment of shining, it shattered.
- ... Fail?
No, we’re here.
In front of us is a huge boar, approximately 2 meters high, looking at us.
... Is that someone’s animal?
- No, it looks like a monster.
Should we run away?
- No...
Before the boar can move, Suzy runs towards him and cuts off one of his paws with the spear while dodging a headbutt.
Although the wound is not very large, the boar seems to suffer.
- With that, it won’t be able to escape.
Seriously? I thought this is for it not to attack us!!
- As long as it doesn’t charge, his attacks are slow and weak.
Suzy, just how did your mother raise you?
- Hm? Ah, it’s coming!
Despite not being able to run properly, the boar try to run towards Suzy, but she just jumps to the side and cuts his other foot.
The boar loses strength on its feet and ends up skidding on the ground while trying to stop its impulse.
With difficulty, it turns towards us, but a spear is thrown in the direction of its eye and, as soon as the spear touch it, Suzy kick the other end of the spear, making it dig deep into the boar’s head.
A few seconds later, the big boar was on the ground, lifeless.
... Suzy, how can you kick a spear in the air?
- It’s a little difficult, but you just need to kick at the right time.
Seriously? So tell me... Why is your cultivation so low? Isn’t it just necessary to cultivate it?
- Are you looking for a fight!? - Suzy says while looking at me over her shoulder.
Girl, you can be big, but it’s not two... And I think we better run.
- Just what happen to your motiva...
When she looks forwards, she sees five wild boar watching us closely.
- ... It reminds me that they usually flock.
... How can you forget that!!
