Chapter 1: Running in the Woods

Next Chapter

In an ordinary mountain 100 miles away from Kyoto, the midday sun is shining through the dense foliage and sporadic trees.

A girl of about fifteen or sixteen years of age rushed forward at an astonishing speed in the woods, as if she were hiding from the prey pursued by wild beasts.

The girl was wearing an ordinary goose-yellow cotton and linen dress, her appearance was beautiful and delicate, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and her eyes were ...... It's a fierce color that doesn't match her age.

Not far behind the girl was a full-grown wolf with a strong physique, the wolf's fur was a healthy dark gray, except for a pinch of lightning-like white fluff between its forehead and eyes.

According to some experienced old men, any adult wolf with white fluff on his forehead is the king of the wolf pack, and he is also the most ferocious existence among the wolf pack.

The girl ran hard in front, and the dark gray wolf, with its powerful limbs, chased after the girl, not giving the girl a chance to escape.

Seeing that the gray wolf was getting closer and closer to the girl, the girl's petite figure was about to fall under the claws of the gray wolf, and the girl's eyes quickly crossed a touch of fierceness, and then flew to the side, protected his head with both hands, and rolled down into the col on the side.

"Whew...... Woohoo woo woo ......"

The gray wolf, who followed closely behind the girl, saw that the prey in his hand escaped from under his claws, and then let out a roar, and rushed down to the col on the side without any hesitation.

The girl, who had fallen into the col, quickly got up from the ground, ignoring the torn clothes, the bruised wounds, and the dust all over her body, and rushed forward again as quickly as an arrow from a string.

And the gray wolf once again chased after the girl tightly, one man and one wolf, and the two figures never stopped, shuttling quickly between left and right in this mountain forest.

There were several times when the girl almost fell under the claws of the gray wolf, but each time she narrowly escaped from the danger at the last moment.

Along the way, the girl was crawling to avoid the gray wolf's pursuit, although she was lucky to escape from the gray wolf's claws several times, but at this time the goose yellow dress on her body was already tattered, and her hands were cut by the branches and gravel in the mountains and forests several times, and her body was covered with dust, and her beautiful and delicate flower-like face was also covered by dust, so that people could not see her original appearance.

The girl's body is petite, her movements are flexible and agile, and her speed and endurance are far beyond that of ordinary women, but no matter how she says, she is only a weak woman who is only fifteen or sixteen years old after all.

After being chased by the gray wolf in the mountains and forests for more than an hour, the girl gradually showed a state of distraction, and the pace of running forward gradually slowed down, but the gray wolf behind her did not have any intention of stopping.
