Leo silenced the bird monster

---

“Hmm… Is it alive?”
“Wuff.”
“It looks a little burned. So that is Leo’s magic…”
“Indeed. It is so big…”

With Leo, we all went to see the fallen monster.
It was bigger than I had imagined when seeing it from below. Now only was it larger than a human, but it was also bigger than the fenrirs.
Still, it was smaller than Leo, unless you counted its wingspan.
It was currently lying limply on the ground. It was covered in feathers like a normal bird, but was slightly burnt and smoke was rising from it.

But in spite of that…I could see feathers that shone like copper.
I could not tell from below, but it seemed to have a pretty, reddish black color.
…But Leo’s had blackened most of it.

“Leo. I think you might have done too much?”
“Wuff…”

I asked Leo, after seeing that it did not move at all. Leo was tilting her head to the side as if puzzled.
Apparently, Leo really had tried to hold back so that it didn’t die.
Well, even if she held back for the attack, the actual fall would have done a lot of damage…
If it was a human…or most living creatures, you would likely die from the impact of such a fall.

“Wuff…grau!”
“Kii…ki!?”
“Oh, it moved. So it was just unconscious then…”
“Well, we should move back, just in case…”
“Indeed.”

Leo had barked at the monster.
It was likely to confirm that it was still alive. But it did look like she was going to attack.
In any case, it worked, as the monster suddenly raised its head.
It seemed surprised and confused as it moved its head and looked around.

“Uh…what should we do?”
“Wuff. Wuff-wuff.”
“I should talk to it? But I wouldn’t be able to understand what it is saying.”
“Wuff-wuff.”
“So Leo is going to translate…fine. I’ll try then. Uhh…are you okay?”
“Kii? Kiii!”
“Grau!”
“GIIIIII!!!”

After making sure that Mr. Ekenhart and the others had moved back, Leo and I moved close to the monster.
The monster then looked at me with sharp eyes… And after I asked the question, the monster raised its voice at me angrily as if I was the culprit.
While its body did not move, it turned its beak towards me.
But Leo quickly barked at it, which frightened the monster.

Oh, so it knows that it is no match for Leo then… It was intelligent.
In that case, we might be able to talk to it… I hoped that we could.

“Uhh, you should calm down… I’m sorry that we attack you… But we wanted to know why you were flying over our heads?”
“Kiii…kii-kii…”

While I didn’t know what it was saying, it seemed to understand me.
And so Leo interpreted for me, and we continued the conversation.

While we were talking, the bird moved its wings, flinging off the soot that was the result of Leo’s magic.
And while it wasn’t the same as taking a bath, it looked a lot better.
Perhaps it had used some kind of magic as well… I wondered.
It had very sharp eyes, as if it was a hunter looking at its prey. But since Leo was here, I knew that it would not do anything.
The tip of its beak was bent. It made me think that once it grabbed onto something, it would never let go…

At such close range, it looked like a falcon…no, an eagle, perhaps.
A golden eagle… In any case, it was much larger.
Even if you ignored the fact that it was a monster, it had the kind of impact of something that would be the king of all birds.
Though, it would occasionally shake at the sight of Leo. And it seemed to be still suffering from the effects of the magic attack. And so it did not seem that threatening at the same time…
