Because There Were 100 Goddesses in Charge of Reincarnation, I Received 100 Cheat Skills

Over the course of a few days, we reached the mountainous area near the border of the Alsarah Kingdom and Ekbana.

Let us not cross the mountain today, and get up early tomorrow instead.

Must be hard for an old person.

You always get up early.

The mountains are too dangerous to cross at night. For that reason, it was common sense to leave early in the morning instead.

The next morning, we got up while it was still dark, and had breakfast in the hotels dining room.

Because there are many travelers in the mountain, it is usually safe. But right now, there arent really many travelers inside.

The route from this town should be the shortest to Ekbana. I had doubts, but the landlady of the inn told us.

Did you know that recently, a strange dog man has been living in the mountains? Everyone started getting a bad feeling from it, so lots of people have been taking a different route to Ekbana.

Dog man?

What the hell is that?

They dont seem to do anything bad, but, once you go near, be careful.

It wasnt for certain, but it didnt seem like the landlady was joking.

Me and the old man tilted our heads in doubt, and left the inn.

Could it possibly be a new type of monster?

I dunno

Climbing up the mountain.

Its considerably rugged on this journey.

Its supposed around here, according to the landlady, but. Well, I guess I just thought one of these monkeys could have been the dog man.

Just when I thought I let that mistake slip my mind

Ruff, ruff!

something came.

A young man.

Probably still around 20 years old.

He looks slightly dirty, but I think he still passes as a good-looking guy.

A normal human seems to be blocking the way.

Although, he is wearing a choker, with chains that seem to be leading from it.

And just like a dog, he sits, barking, Ruff, ruff!

. Its a dog man.

You seem to be right by the looks of it.

The old man was calm for some reason, even though this monster was here.

I get why travelers and merchants get a bad feeling from this route, and hence change direction.

While observing from a distance, the dog man suddenly began to talk.

Ruff ruff?

No, I dont understand dog talk

Are you going to Ekbana? Be careful~

You can speak English?!

I instinctively fed thedogman.

Youre still so young, what happened?, the old man asked casually.

Wait, thats not casual at all.

Why arent you scared or at least surprised, old man?

Ive been waiting for my master here for a long time, said the dog man.

What doesthatmean?

I asked without thinking, A master? Does that mean youre a slave?

No, Im a pet.

I became more and more confused.

How long have you waited here?

The truth is, its almost been a month.

How sad. Pet or whatever he may be, hes been left here for almost a month.

Plus, hes chained up, so he cant even leave

Oh, these chains were originally tied to a rock, but the rock broke, so Im free to move around now.

So hecanmove!

then why on earth?

Its still a mystery to me how a hard rock like that broke, but in any case, it seems like hes waiting for his so-called master on his own accord.

What an idiot. What a complete idiot.

Such a pity, this troubling state of affairs but is it possible that you were abandoned?

Oh my! Is that really the case? I had a slight suspicion But.

That is quite pitiful, isnt it. Truthfully, I was abandoned too by a princess I was in the service of I know that bitter pain all too well.

Oh my, you must have been a pet too?!

No, I was her punching bag

Punching bag?!

However, I have yet to give up. Even if she refuses me or escapes me, once more, until I am graced by a beating from my princess, only death can stop me!

My my! What is this strong will this old man possesses? Yet, I I was afraid .to be abandoned directly by him like that so I stayed in a place like this haha what a miserable human I am

I thought that now we were just wasting time, but

No, no, you still have a long way to go. You will have many chances to try again.

Is that true?

The dog mans eyes stuck onto the old man like he was looking for advice, who nodded with a gentle smile.

What on earth am I watching

Ive decided! From now on, I am going to search for him! Wait for me! Karna-kun!

Wha? Why Karna?

Oh, could that possibly be the black-haired man?

Huh? Do you perhaps know Karna?

Oh yes, this is some coincidence. Truthfully, we were also following him and heading for Ekbana. Well, I am following the accompanying princess.

Is that so! Then would it be okay for me to join you in your journey?!

Yes, of course. Would you be okay with that, Geiss-dono?

The pleasures mine.

Without restraint, I thanked them for the precious info they gave, so I forgave those who accompanied the old man, who cannot be helped.

Also because, he seemed to be rich.

But this young man is different, is what I thought, but

My name is Alek. As you can see, I am an A-rank adventurer, so I think I have plenty of strength to be able to accompany you! I also have lots of money with me! Plus, I know where Karna would be!

Where he would be?

Yes! Because Im his pet! Even if Im separated from him, I always know where to find him! That is my indispensable ability as a pet!

Youre pretty amazing, pet.

Is it like a homing instinct?

Still, its possible that Karna is not in Ekbana.

If we take his pet, we can still find him if thats the case.

He seems strong as well.

Admittedly, I was just about fed up with the hindrance of the old man.

Okay, thats fine. Lets go together.

Thank you!

I made a new friend and continued my journey to find the elf girl.
