448 Prolog: The griffin (part 2)

*crunch* *munch* *munch*

"...haaa..."

As the black wolf was snacking on the headless corpse of the massive griffin, Cranberry was standing by him, carefully observing the corpse.

"Arion, sorry to disturb your meal, but could you wait a bit."

"Raor...?"

In the end, she tapped his back and asked, causing the wolf to look back at her and tilt his head in confusion.

"Mary, Roan, could you both come here for a bit?"

The red-haired girl took his growl as confirmation and waved at the other two.

"Eh...? But, I thought that we were in a hurry...?"

Mary asked surprised, but even so, she was already trotting towards the corpse – and Roan joined her without voicing any concerns.

"This is quite a big griffin, right...? Or it should be – look how it looks now that it's dead."
