Chapter 4: Chapter 3 - Little Girl Fights Wild Wolf
Wolves...
They are one of the animals that live in large groups. Their physical abilities and hunting instincts are so great that it even makes me shiver when I face one of them.
Another pair of wolf eyes can be seen watching me from behind the bushes. It seems this wolf is not alone. This is like a food fight with the rule whoever finds it gets it.
More or less.. I am just a little girl who is an appetizer in their eyes.
I immediately folded the cloth ribbon that covered my head and formed a thick ball of cloth. I have seen a self-defense technique using a piece of cloth. It sounds ridiculous but is very effective as an emergency weapon.
Ah! That's right. Could it be that he is a wild wolf who is attracted by the scent of blood on this bandaged cloth?
I have heard that wolves have a sharp sense of smell and mark their prey by injuring part of their body and then following the scent of their blood to hunt them.
Which means... it's my fault for luring them?
Should I throw this cloth away and run away?
No!
If I do, then the Maid who is on duty in the garden will meet them.
Ah, that's right! As a girl who follows royal etiquette. I have to take responsibility for bearing this problem.
Wait! Why can I understand the rules of royal etiquette?
Forget that! Now focus on this problem.
The wolf in front of me has a large physique. Its size is around twelve times my body. Physically, its body is very large. If I die, will my body be able to fill its stomach?
Now I'm curious about that question.
He looked at me with a sharp gaze, like a hunter locking his prey so that it wouldn't escape from his sight.
Part of my body screamed to run, but my heart was too comfortable to be silent and chose to defend against the attack of this wild wolf.
It seemed that he had finished observing me, his saliva seemed to be coming out even more, adding to the strange impression for him. Animals like this only care about their stomach instincts.
The wolf suddenly ran towards me.
I prepared myself to receive the attack that was coming.

The wolf jumped and lunged with claws that scratched my cheek.
"Ugh!" seeing the sudden attack. I was a little late to respond. This body is very slow to respond to my brain's commands. I once saw my father's notes about human responses that take 0.08 seconds to move.
A hot and stinging sensation was engraved on my cheek. Reflexively, I touched my cheek to make sure how deep the wound was.
"Eng?"
This is so strange!
My cheek looked fine as if the wound I experienced would close immediately.
"Grrrrr!!" the wolf's groan made me realize our little fight.
My gaze was fixed on his sharp claws that had traces of blood.
What is this?! there is something strange with my body!
The wolf lunged at me again. Different from the previous attack that was aimed at my cheek. This time, he knocked my body down and stood on top of me.
In front of my face was a very hungry wolf. His disgusting saliva immediately dripped down my face.
Ugh! This is so smelly and sticky!
I can't stay still! I want to attack him. But.. is it possible for a girl like me to have enough strength to escape this attack?
Just think about it later!
Save yourself, Lily!
I was forced to move by rolling my body to the side.
Eh? What is this? Why can I push this wolf to the side?
This wolf.. seems very hungry to be this weak.
Without wasting any more time, I tried to tie the cloth ribbon in my hand around its neck and pressed it so that the wolf had difficulty breathing.
Slowly.. the wolf gasped for breath. When its body went limp, I felt relieved and untied the cloth from its neck.
This sudden battle was won by me.
And.. it seems I was too quick to think like that.
From behind the bushes, a pack of black wolves came out. Different from this wolf who fought on one.
This time, the wolf that appeared brought its pack.
"AAAAUUUU!!" he suddenly howled.
As if called by his howl, several black wolves came out of the bushes. I accidentally saw a wolf with a much larger body come out.
Ah, does this mean that my delicious body has leveled up a bit because I defeated one of them?
I don't care about that, if you want to eat me, then come to me!
Oh, if possible... please one on one.
One little girl and thirty black wolves.. oh! sorry, thirty minus one black wolves are preparing to pounce on my body.
What kind of fight is this?
Unlike the previous fight that happened without warning, this time my body moved with a quick response. When they were in the air, I moved my body to avoid their dirty claw attacks.
The only counterattack I could do was to shoot this cloth ribbon and pull it quickly.
Splash.. Boom!!
"Eh?"
I was a little surprised when the ball of cloth that hit their bodies and was pulled quickly made them fly far away.
Why is this? My physical strength isn't this terrible, right?
To make sure.. I'll try again!
Splash.. Buugh!!
Splash.. Kraaak!!
"Eek?"
What is this? There's no way my body is this strong. My body feels strange and I can feel it. To make sure of the changes in my body, I tried to attack the wolf back, and the result...
They flew until they hit a tree.
"W-What is this terrifying power?"
Am I dreaming right now? There's no way a little girl like me has this kind of power, especially with just a rolled-up cloth ribbon.
The remaining black wolves stared at me with murderous gazes. They were now moving randomly and circling me.
Why is this? I didn't know wolves had this kind of intelligence.
When a sharp claw was aimed at my head, my hand moved so quickly to ward it off. Because of that reflex movement, I survived the sudden death.
Of course, with this open opportunity. I retaliated by giving a direct attack using my grip.
Brugh!!
I can see it! M-My hand! My hand threw the black wolf flying and hitting a tree.
Does this mean.. my physical strength has increased? But I've never exercised before.
Putting that aside... there are only seven black wolves left.
I smiled happily with this power.
Oh, Goddess.. even though you are very strange. But, I am grateful to you.
[You're welcome, Lily-chan.]
And.. please don't just reply to what's in my head.
[I don't think that's possible. Indirectly, we're already connected!]
Uhm.. then.. can you explain why I have this physique?
[Lily-chan, did you forget the Skill given by Mio?]
O-Oh! That?
[Yes! This is a Skill given by Mio. In short.. the Yurification System makes you strong by doing the Linked Ritual. So.. find another girl to increase your Skill!]
[Oh! Don't forget. The Linked Ritual only applies to the female gender!]
"Eh?" hearing the last explanation from the Goddess. My hand suddenly hit the last wolf.
The wolf flew very high in the air and slammed into the ground quickly. The impact sound was loud and heavy.
"Lily-saaaamaaaaaa!!" behind me, I could hear a very loud voice.
When I turned around, I could see Mio running towards me and my father's troops marching into the forest.
Does this mean I'm in big trouble after facing wild wolves?
