Dropped into Another World…

Chapter 142 - The Forest’s Border…Destroy It!

I checked the forest for several days.

The curse is gone.

….but I still can’t get out of the forest.

-0-

…darn it!

Calm down. Nothing good will come from being angry.

However, why?

-0-

I should go to the border of the forest.

I should see it with my own eyes.

There’s a chance that I’ll discover something.

-0-

That’s a long way to run but…I have to do my best.

When I walked out of my house, I saw the usual scene in the square.

That calmed me down a bit.

-0-

….good!

—Scene Change—

Koa is running in the sky with me riding on her back.

-0-

When I tried to start my journey towards the border of the forest, Koa got in my way.

I was surprised.

It was because she never stood in my way until now.

-0-

As I was wondering what to do, she squatted down and showed her back to me.

Is she trying to make me ride her?

I gave it a try and I was right.

-0-

After riding her, she got up and started running in the sky.

I didn’t say anything but somehow, she started running in the direction where I wanted to go.

Thank you….areh? You guys are coming with us?

Surrounding us are wolves of the same species as Koa.

….ah, no, the pups have grown and I can no longer tell them apart…

…let’s see, that one’s a pup, that one is….a pup…?

Let’s not worry about that right now.

-0-

Given Koa’s size, her running is stable enough even if I’m riding her.

Well, I wrapped her neck around her arms and hugged her body with my legs to make sure I won’t fall.

I only need to be cautious of hurting her.

I’ve made a few mistakes, I’m sorry.

The forest is big after all.

It’s already night but we weren’t able to arrive at the border of the forest.

We finally reached our destination morning of the next day. Of course, we’re taking proper breaks along the way.

This is the place where I saw the path leading out of the forest I saw with my drone clairvoyance.

-0-

Could it be beastkins?

I could see signs of someone being there so I decided to stay there.

I walked along the path and tried to go outside.

Bang!

….ouch.

I guess I still can’t.

My companions are looking at me with great concern.

I’m fine.

-0-

I’m just annoyed since we’re trapped in here.

Also, Koa and the others didn’t approach me and when I approached the barrier, their hairs were all standing.

That might be out of fear.

Maybe they’ve been hurt by it a few times before.

However, I’m definitely going to be able to get out of this forest!

-0-

But, how can I do that….?

There’s an invisible wall.

When it comes to breaking down walls, should I use a wrecking ball?

That’s what I’ve seen on TV….they use it to break down things.

Other than that, dynamite….no way I’ll use that.

-0-

Let’s rethink this from the beginning.

Why don’t I make a big wrecking ball using magic?

Perhaps I should try compressing wind over and over again.

If I hit it repeatedly with compressed magical power, I should be able to break it.

However, the problem is that I can’t see the wall.

If I hit it in another place, the load will be distributed.

….how about I make one super strong magic that is compressed several times?

I have no choice but to try it and see the result.

-0-

Okay—palm against the wall.

Let’s try one shot.

Bang!

Okay, attack won’t be reflected.

I’m a little relieved because I’d be done for if my attack is reflected on me.

The moment I hit it, I think I saw something.

I’m kind of curious but for now, I’ll just concentrate on breaking the wall.

-0-

I swear I’ll break it!

I pointed my palm at the wall and started compressing wind in front of my palm.

I’m not sure how much force I needed.

Maybe it’s not enough yet so let’s try to pack it more and more with magical power.

Imagination is also important in magic, right?

Should I imagine the wall cracking?

Maa, imagination is free, isn’t it?

Let’s imagine a wrecking ball hitting a glass and have the wind blow it around.

?Destroy it!?

Bang….bang bang bang bang…crash crash crash crash….

-0-

I hear sounds.

It changes a little.

The moment the sound changes, a translucent wall appears in front of me.

Is this what I can’t see earlier?

I could see cracks at the place where my magic hit it.

The cracks are spreading out until they stop.

I kicked the crack in the wall.

Since there’s a crack, I should be able to break it with one more impact.

Gaching!

The wall shines and really breaks like a glass and falls down.

I was surprised but on the way down, the pieces of the wall emitted light and disappeared.

I managed to get a wall fragment that had fallen in front of me.

?I instinctively grabbed it but…areh??

The wall piece, which I thought would disappear too, lost its light and turned into something like a glass the moment I grabbed it.

This is not the result I expected which kind of scared me.

While I was freaking out, all the pieces of the wall, except the one on my hand, disappeared.

-0-

Yeah, at least I was able to break the wall…mission accomplished, I guess.

I produced a ball of light and followed the path out of the forest.

It seems like we will be able to get out of the forest without being obstructed.

-0-

I took a deep breath and took a step.

Koa’s group, who had come together with me, walked with me.

Their tails are wagging too much which I think is cute.
