Volume 1 Chapter 2 Help the Divine Beasts
The state-run ranch is quite far from the outskirts of the royal capital.
I was riding on the back of the earth dragon, Chippy, heading towards the royal capital.
"Graaah!! Graaah!!"
"What's wrong, Chippy? Why are you acting all wild?"
An earth dragon is about a size larger than a human and is specialized in running.
This girl was injured when I rescued her as a young dragon, and I have raised her since then.
"Graaah!!"
"Are you angry for my sake? Thanks a lot!"
It's okay, okay, I gently stroke Chippy's long neck.
She must have witnessed the scene where I was pushed away by the Prime Minister.
"Well, that's something that happens often."
"Grrr... Graaa? Graaa-graaah!"
Just then, as we reached the edge of the forest.
Chippy suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong, Chippy?"
"Graaah!!"
Dash...!
The earth dragon suddenly took off running.
"H-Hey! The royal capital is not that way! Where are you going?"
But Chippy was moving deeper into the forest on her own.
After a while, I saw it.
"Is that dog hurt...?"
A pure white dog was lying in the forest.
"I see, so you want me to help this weak child"
"Graaah!!"
I got off Chippy and immediately headed towards the dog.
It's a pretty small puppy.
It doesn't even budge when I approach it.
That must be a very dangerous situation (wild animals never let humans near them).
For now, I'll take out the magic syringe and quickly draw its blood.
"[Health Scan]"
This skill was used to Identify the health.
This is a magic trick that uses the appraisal of ordinary objects to determine their value, and examines the condition of sick animals from the components of their blood.
"Toxin detected. This child must have eaten some poisonous plant."
"Whimper, whiiine..."
The puppy looked at me with frightened eyes.
If a stranger is nearby, it's natural to be scared.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything bad to you. I'm a beast veterinarian."
"Whimper..."
I take out the medical equipment from the backpack on Chippy's back.
After further analysis of the collected blood, it was discovered that the poisonous plant eaten was the [numbing plant].
"Good, looks like I won't need any major surgery"
I take out the herbs needed for detoxification from my backpack.
"[Synthesis]"
It's a unique skill passed down to beast veterinarians, blending the required herbs to create medicine.
The herbs are extracted in mid-air, mixed together, and then the medicinal liquid fills the magic syringe.
"You'll be fine as soon as you get this shot. Just stay still."
"Whimper..."
The anxious puppy looked up at me, so I patted its head.
Then the puppy closed its eyes, seeming relieved.
I quickly administered the liquid medicine, and soon the puppy stopped trembling.
"Whimper!"
The puppy stood up and started bouncing around.
"Haha, I'm glad you're feeling better!"
The puppy looked up at me and bowed slightly.
Huh, a bow?
'Thank you! This me, will pay you properly!'
"Huh? What? Did that animal just talk!?"
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew.
"Whoa!"
Dust flew up, and in the next moment... the puppy from before had vanished.
"What was that... that dog? A dream?"
"Graaah!!"
Chippy licks my cheek.
The tickling sensation told me that I wasn't dreaming.
"Were they magic beasts? But their wills have been taken over by the Demon Lord, so I can't communicate with them..."
I thought it was a monster, but it seems that's not it.
They attack humans without discrimination when they see them.
"Well, strange things happen..."
I didn't think any more about it at this point.
I never thought they'd come back to repay me after that.
