Chapter 32 : Fenrir IX

“Perfect.”

“Charlotte…”

“This is uncomfortable…”

The voices of Aurel and Hwanggu came from below.

The two girls were clinging to the body of the motorcycle.

It looked really uncomfortable, but it was necessary for them to act as my support. If Aurel and Hwanggu weren’t holding on, the motorcycle would quickly tip over.

There wasn’t a good place to hold on, making it uncomfortable.

I extended my legs to support Aurel and Hwanggu.

“Here. Grab this.”

“Gasp…!”

“Gasp…!”

Aurel and Hwanggu immediately grabbed onto my extended legs.

The feeling of their hands clinging to my calves and thighs was quite strange, but I could bear it for the sake of riding the motorcycle.

“Alright, let’s go!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The two girls, who had been complaining, quickly smiled brightly.

Seeing their smiles, I started the motorcycle and pulled the throttle.

Vroom-!

The wheels started to turn, and the rough engine sound roared.

As I was seated on the motorcycle, the engine’s powerful vibration resonated through my body.

Then the motorcycle surged forward.

“Gasp!”

It was incredibly fast.

I quickly turned the handle as I approached a large building.

Screech-!

The motorcycle leaned sharply in the sudden turn.

Hwanggu’s tail nearly scraped the ground.

But…

Bang-!

“Ah!”

“Ahh!”

“Ahh!”

Unable to control the motorcycle’s speed, we crashed into another building.

The impact caused our bodies to be flung forward.

Aurel and Hwanggu also couldn’t withstand the shock and were thrown into the air.

Our bodies spun rapidly in the air, and we began to fall quickly without resolving the rotational force.

Thud-!

Finally, our bodies hit the ground with a loud noise.

As I rolled on the hard asphalt ground, Aurel and Hwanggu’s bodies landed beside me.

Thud! Thud!

I grimaced and got up from the ground.

Under normal circumstances, I would have broken an arm or a leg.

But being a species far beyond humans, I felt no pain or injury.

It was the same for Aurel and Hwanggu.

The two girls also got up quickly, following my lead.

“Charlotte…”

I ignored Aurel’s call and walked forward.

I headed towards the building where the motorcycle was lodged.

It was just a mistake. It was my first time riding a motorcycle, so it was natural.

There would be no mistakes next time.

But…

“Gasp…!”

The body of the motorcycle lodged in the wall was severely damaged.

Just crashing into an abandoned building’s wall had caused so much damage.

Hwanggu and Aurel, who had followed me, also groaned at the sight of the wrecked motorcycle.

The front was heavily dented and caved in, and the handlebars were bent at an odd angle.

The wheels were also in bad shape.

The dented wheels were no longer round but triangular.

The motorcycle was dead.

But I hadn’t given up yet.

This wasn’t the only motorcycle left behind by the human players.

“Ahem… It was a bit strange. Maybe it was already broken…”

I muttered cautiously, clearing my throat.

But Aurel and Hwanggu didn’t seem convinced.

Their emotionless gazes remained fixed on me as they stood around the wrecked motorcycle.

In the end, I ignored their stares and ran towards an intact motorcycle.

But for me to ride the motorcycle with my short legs, I needed the help of Aurel and Hwanggu.

I got on the motorcycle and called the two girls.

“Hwanggu! Aurel!”

They ran towards me immediately at my call.

Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!

Their short legs moved very quickly.

“Combine again!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

When I extended my legs, Aurel and Hwanggu clung to them without hesitation.

The girls took on the role of my legs.

“We’re going again!”

Just like before, I started the motorcycle and pulled the throttle.

The engine roared instantly.

Vroom-!

The wheels spun, and the motorcycle sped forward.

This time, I would not fail.

I would not make a mistake.

I had to succeed this time, for the sake of the girls who followed me with trust.

“Hiyaa!”

I sped through the ruined city, maintaining a fast pace.

The cracked and broken asphalt road rose like speed bumps.

It occasionally caused the motorcycle to jolt.

Jolt-!

“Gasp…!”

“Gasp…!”

Each jolt elicited a faint groan from the girls.

Their position was uncomfortable, and the speed bumps were hard on them.

I steered the motorcycle to avoid as many bumps as possible.

As I turned a corner,

a wrecked vehicle suddenly appeared.

A large truck lay across the road.

There was no way to avoid it. It was impossible to slow down suddenly.

“Ha!”

I moved the shadows and spread large wings behind me.

Flap-!

As the giant wings made of shadows flapped, the motorcycle’s body lifted slightly.

It wasn’t enough. I flapped the wings again.

Flap-!

Vroom-!

With a rough engine sound, the motorcycle lifted into the air.

A small leap using wings allowed it to overcome the large obstacle.

Clunk-!

The motorcycle fell as it couldn’t withstand the weight after passing the truck.

The shock was transmitted from the motorcycle to my rear.

“Ahhh!”

An unstoppable instinct to speed.

Roaring from deep within, I raced down the road.

The amalgamations reacted to my roar and began to chase, but they couldn’t match the motorcycle’s speed.

Vroom-!

The fast-moving motorcycle left the bustling city behind.

We arrived at an unknown residential area.

It was equally devastated.

Screech!

I urgently hit the brakes and stopped the motorcycle.

The roads in the residential area were narrow. With abandoned cars and debris scattered around, it wasn’t a good place for speeding on a motorcycle.

Of course, skilled drivers might navigate such places well.

Just as well.

I took the opportunity to summon my familiars.

“Come out!”

As I spread my arms wide and called out,

a giant shadow writhed and spat out six girls who resembled me.

I summoned them to farm.

Now that we knew the location of the equipment store, we needed more credits.

To fully equip Aurel, Hwanggu, and my familiars, we needed a substantial amount of credits.

“Search this residential area for items.”

“Items…?”

Yepi’s face twisted at my command.

But the body was honest.

The six girls immediately scattered.

“Oh, Dal Bunny, stay here.”

As the six girls dispersed,

Dal Bunny, who received my call, shivered and approached me.

She seemed hesitant, still finding me intimidating.

I smiled faintly at the sight.

It was unnecessary worry.

Had she been in her large human form, maybe, but I had no intention of tormenting the small child who was now my familiar.

“Why, why are you doing this…”

“I have something to ask you.”

“Ah…”

Dal Bunny whimpered and closed her eyes tightly at my answer.

What on earth was she thinking to react like this?

I pressed her now soft cheek.

“Tell me the location of the other humans.”

“Location…? Why…”

“If I ask you to tell me, just tell me.”

“Yes…”

She had a lot of questions.

If she was my familiar, she should obey her master’s orders without questioning them.

I took out a large map and pen from the shadow and handed them to Dal Bunny.

“Wow…”

Dal Bunny admired the pen I gave her.

The pen could write in five different colors, which was impressive enough.

“Mark the locations where human players are gathered without any lies.”

“Yes, yes…”

Dal Bunny made a distressed face at my command but began working right away, sitting on the ground.

“Why do you want to know their locations? Are you planning to attack them?”

I nodded at Aurel’s question.

In this world, strength is power.

To defeat Fenrir and to protect myself from other forces, I needed to increase my own power.

That’s why I planned to gather more familiars.

“As expected, you’re amazing!”

“Charlotte, you’re awesome!”

Aurel and Hwanggu showered me with compliments.

I crossed my arms and slightly nodded.

Pitter-patter!

Pitter-patter-!

The familiars who had scattered throughout the residential area returned, each carrying an armful of items.

And then they threw the items into the shadow.

The girls, having emptied their hands, scattered again to farm more items in the residential area.

If the number of familiars increased, the speed of farming items would also increase.

An army of girls who resembled me.

Just the thought made me happy.

“Um, Charlotte…?”

“Why?”

Dal Bunny’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

When I looked down, I saw Dal Bunny with a distressed face.

“This, this is broken…”

Dal Bunny showed me the multicolored pen she was holding.

The pen was crushed as if it had been pressed by a powerful hydraulic press.

It wasn’t a simple malfunction but damage caused by external factors.

“I’m sorry… I became too strong…”

As I tilted my head and looked at the pen, Dal Bunny lowered her head with a distressed face.

It seemed she couldn’t control the newfound strength from becoming a vampire.

I patted Dal Bunny’s head without saying anything.

I wouldn’t scold a familiar just because a pen was broken.

Pitter-patter!

At that moment, I heard footsteps.

When I turned my head slightly, I saw Yepi.

Yepi, who was carrying a bunch of items, gave me an awkward smile when our eyes met.

“Yepi.”

“Why, why again…”

“Give me the crayons.”

My target was the crayons Yepi was holding.

“No…!”

But Yepi refused my command.

Of course, the body was honest, so Yepi approached and handed me the crayons.

“No…!”

Yepi bit his lip with a distressed face.

I took the crayons from Yepi and handed them to Dal Bunny.

“I’ll just use them for a moment and give them back.”

“Ah, ugh…!”

Yepi stomped his feet in frustration, but that was all he could do.

“Wow…”

Dal Bunny, who received the crayons from me, smiled brightly.

This time, she carefully began marking the map, determined not to break the crayons.
