The Survival Strategy of the Contract Duchess - Chapter 108

Coming to this different world and becoming the Duke’s wife, yet being unable to help in any way, had always bothered me. But a connector and knowing how they cross over here, I can definitely help Kyler with his work.

As if sensing Sasha’s excited heart, the young monster came out of its mother’s arms and bounced towards Sasha.

“Then are you going to let us go back home? Is this human going to do it?”

“Ah, that’s…”

Sasha was slightly embarrassed by the young monster’s words. That wasn’t something I could do right now.

Looking across, even the adult monsters had faces that seemed to demand an answer, making me feel awkward. Haha, I gave a sheepish smile.

“I don’t have any special powers. I can’t use magic, I’m not strong, and I can’t use a sword. How can I what do I need to do to this entrance for you to go back?”

The monster in the lead and the one to its right, who had been adding explanations, exchanged glances. I couldn’t tell what their expressions were like with their dragon-like faces, but I could tell the atmosphere was serious.

“We don’t know how to go back. We just wanted you to block the hole down there.”

Sasha desperately tried to keep her wide eyes from turning to the young monster. She didn’t want the child, who had been counting the days to return, to see her expression.

“A way back jumping into that.”

“Of course, some have tried but most are swept away by the waterfall, thrown out, and die.”

Looking at the waterfall pouring down so fiercely that it created a thick mist, I understood what they meant. Before the vastness of nature, even incomprehensible phenomena, and the frustration of not being able to find a way to solve it.

I understood well that the humans must have been embarrassed and had a hard time seeing this place become a mountain range where monsters that threatened people were created, but the monsters were also in a bad situation.

If I told Kyler, he would definitely figure out an answer. He was struggling without a single clue to solve the problem.

I even remembered how embarrassed he was when he found out I could communicate with monsters.

Anyway, he looks like he’s full of steel or ice on the outside and inside, but how can he be so emotional and cool only to me?

“Don’t worry. I can’t do it, but I know someone who can. He will definitely solve it.”

Because there is a man more trustworthy than anyone else in the world. Not just because he is the person I love, but because he is actually the man who protects the empire.

“Then I guess we have to go back down the mountain range.”

The leader of the monsters said softly. He was also very quick to understand. In some ways, he felt much wiser than Midiena or Elina.

And she, for a brief moment, fell into serious thought alone. About the possibility of going down on her own two feet.

The mountain range seen from the back of the young monster was certainly enchantingly beautiful, but the thought of going down again made me feel dizzy.

“I’ll give you another ride! I’ll give you another ride!”

The young monster was excited at the thought of being able to return home, or maybe it was happy to have flown with Sasha, the young monster was already approaching Sasha, peeking and peeking.

“I’ll take you down. Although there are few people, the Uhalin Forest is a place where humans come and go. You, you’ll be scolded for going down earlier.”

Haha, it seemed that I had accidentally encountered a young monster who had come down to the forest out of curiosity. I smiled at the young monster, who was dejected but couldn’t quite let go of his regret.

“It was fun earlier. Thank you.”

The monster, who was happy and jumping around at her words, even looked cute.

“Well, then let’s hurry down. I can only go as far as the Uhalin Forest, is that okay?”

“I have to go from there on my own.”

I knew that it wasn’t over just by going down, but those who sent me to the mountain range must be sure of my death. If they are waiting for me to come out from the outside that’s a big problem.

I approached the monster, getting hit by the faint spray of the waterfall. The monster next to the leader was the largest. I reached out as I watched him spread his wings to carry me.

It was much rougher and harder than the one I rode earlier, but the back was very wide, so it was stable.

“If there’s no place to hold on, I’ll be careful when flying.”

“Um! I think it’ll be okay unless you change direction suddenly or fly too fast.”

I thought it would be a bit much to be too picky when he was giving me a ride, so Sasha grabbed the protruding hard wing bones tightly with both hands.

“I’ll definitely find a way to come back. Don’t come down to the Uhalin Forest as much as possible and wait for me.”

Sasha vowed, looking at each of the monsters one by one. Vowing to herself to keep this promise.

The monster soared again in an instant. It was something I was experiencing again, but it was a speed that I couldn’t adapt to. It was a pressure that didn’t even let out a scream because of the feeling of being crushed.

The vast beauty of the mountain range unfolded once again. And right below, I could see the majestic scenery of the waterfall.

I want to see it with Kyler.

And I wanted to see Kyler right now.

Please let me return home safely.

I don’t know if there is a god here or not, but I prayed like that. Knowing that I left the mansion, he must be very worried, so, if possible, I wanted to be able to go before he returned home so that I could be with him. I wanted to pray.

–

“I can’t promise a clear date.”

“Oh! You can speak here too?”

In the dark forest at the border between the mountain range and the forest where I first saw the young monster, Sasha was facing the adult monster who had carried her. I wanted to finish tidying up my hair and clothes that had been swept away by the wind, but it wasn’t easy.

“Ah.! I see. Once it’s opened, it seems to be possible continuously.”

“That’s good. I don’t know how long the preparation will take. I’ll do my best to find it.”

Sasha answered firmly, brushing her hair back with busy hands.

“I will come down here in three days. Can you come to tell me the progress, whether it works or not?”

Sasha nodded naturally at the gentle request. If it weren’t for the appearance I was seeing now, the voice and tone made me think of a man in a very neat tailcoat with Lydian’s appearance.

“Then I’ll be on my way.”

“I’m sorry I can’t take you home.”

Seeing them treat her kindly because she was a person who listened to their voices, even though they were humans who had been fighting for such a long time, Sasha was feeling something similar to a sense of kinship with them.

“It’s something that requires risking your life. Our house is Kyler’s house, after all.”

“Okay, so I’ll be on my way now!”

Kugwanggung!

It was then.

A sharp murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the monster who was about to say a gentle goodbye, and he kicked the ground with explosive leg strength and flew up. And a tremendous force flew to that spot, splitting the ground and passing by.

“Kyaa! What!”

It was a movement that aimed at the monster accurately, avoiding Sasha, but Sasha also had no choice but to take a few steps back due to the wind.

“Mr. Monster, are you okay?!”

Flutter!

The sound of flapping wings was heard, and the presence of the monster was heard from above.

And the presence that approached in an instant covered Sasha from behind.

“Stop there, monster!”

The one who shouted upwards and wrapped around Sasha’s stomach to protect her was Kyler. Sasha’s whole body, embraced by him, seemed to freeze at the urgent breathing and angry voice conveyed by his tremendously throbbing chest.

I could see him trying to swing the sword in his hand. The monster was looking down at her, wondering if she was worried about her or not.

“No! Stop!”

But it seemed that her voice was not conveyed to Kyler. If he had heard her voice, he would not have swung his sword with such a murderous aura.

I wish he would fly away into the air, but Sasha was getting more and more impatient because the monster, perhaps because of the hasty leap, seemed to be unable to fly properly and was falling down.

“Kyler!”

“Die!”

Sasha struck down the arm that was wrapped around her and quickly shook it off, taking advantage of the gap where the strength was lost from her surprised hand due to the sudden pain. And she swept the ground and hung on his arm, which was about to be swung upwards.

If I slipped, I could be in danger too. If he swung it with the strength to overcome even my weight, there would be no reason to hang on. But Sasha had to stop this attack with all her might.

Why is this man so strong?!

“Kylerrr!”

He had already been using his strength, so he couldn’t take it all back in an instant, but because she was blocking it, the force didn’t reach the monster and passed through the middle of the forest with a loud noise.

Sasha got goosebumps all over her body showing the traces left by the tremendous force. If he had been hit properly, that monster, even if it was an adult and strong, would not have been able to get away unscathed.

Sasha, who was blocking, and Kyler, who was blocked from attacking, were both panting, while the monster kicked the ground again and flew up. The monster, who had properly taken off, gave Sasha a glance and quickly flew away towards the mountain range.

On the ground, only Sasha, who was panting as if she was about to fall while holding Kyler’s arm, and Kyler, who was staring down at her, remained.

The noisy forest quickly returned to its original damp and quiet appearance.
