Ch. 5: His Back (SUN)

Wh-what do we do?

Eyes that gleamed with an unnatural light glared at us.

 

I'm scared…

 

I promptly picked up the puppy.

 

At that moment…-.

 

Shigure stood in front of me protectively.

 

OO: "…Shigure?"

 

Shigure: "Don't move in front of me."

 

I could tell at a glance that Shigure's legs were shaking.

 

Shigure's really scared too.

 

In the next instant…

 

OO: "…!"

 

The wolf aimed and leapt at us.

 

Shigure: "…!"

 

Shigure held me protectively.

 

OO: "Shigure!!"

 

The wolf clawed at him, and a single line of blood appeared on Shigure's arm.

 

Shigure: "…it's alright….I… don't want to hurt anyone."

 

I felt then that Shigure's back seemed both wide and dependable.

 

I entrusted my shaking body to him.
