Arthur and Right (2)

Ssss~

Hissing sounds that would make one's scalp turn numb seemed to be mixed amidst the sound of the rain. Moreover, they were getting closer and increasingly clearer.

Right turned his pitch-black eyes, put out his claw to pry the grass pile open, then looked out from the gap.

"Ssss~" A little green snake was staring at the grass pile, and at that instant, their gazes met.

"Screech!" Right gathered strength secretly.

The green snake looked around, then got closer to the eagle head amidst the grass pile.

The little eagle suddenly shot up to his feet from the grass pile, backing off in defense.

The green snake was given a fright and also backed off instinctively, letting out a warning hiss.

The little eagle gulped. He hadn't had a bite since the morning and had long gotten hungry. Now that there was food sent up right to him, how could he possibly let it slip by?
