Curse Shirou

On the magic prairie of Kalia, a male black panther named TOUJI was walking towards the swamp nest full of bad luck with half a deer leg in his mouth.

This year's grassland has an abnormal climate, and the summer has not reached the highest temperature for a long time. The wildebeest herd that passed by here in July every year, because the river has not dried up, delayed the time of the big migration. This is really anxious for the hunters in the western grassland. eater.

Today it managed to find a big-horned buck, but just as it knocked down and killed the prey, a group of flame lions overlapping its territory surrounded it.

Generally speaking, the size of a lion is three times that of a cheetah. Even in a one-on-one fight, a cheetah may be killed by it.

But TOUJI is a giant cheetah with an unusual size, and its strength and reflexes are far superior to mammals, so it is not afraid to fight with lions at all.

But there were so many lions here today that even the chief male lions who were not usually responsible for hunting ran out, not to mention the female lions in groups.

Most of the cheetahs are lone rangers, and TOUJI is the most withdrawn character among the cheetahs.

On the one hand, because of its different fur color, most of the grasslands are yellow spotted leopards, but it has pure black fur, which does not conform to the aesthetics of the same kind at all.

On the other hand, it is because it has no magical talent.

On the Kalia prairie, even rabbits can use fireball magic. As a carnivorous species, TOUJI did not inherit any magic pattern. Abandoned it and left with three other cubs.

TOUJI still has a deep impression on the day he was abandoned.

Fortunately, it had been more than four months at that time, its teeth had grown, and it was out of the fragile period when it needed breast milk the most.

Young panthers have to starve themselves, prey on some small animals, such as insects, lizards, prairie rats, etc., and force themselves to eat carrion, eating rotting carcasses that vultures and hyenas will eat.

And it also needs to beware of wild beasts that may attack it from time to time. No carnivorous hunter wants to have non-biological carnivorous cubs grow up in the territory, because they will become their own competitors when hunting in the future, so even if they don’t eat them, as long as they If you see it, you will kill it.

The ubiquitous dark hyenas will even prey on the young of other carnivorous hunters if they get the chance.

On TOUJI's right chin, the scar caused by the sharp claws was left at that time, but when it entered the puberty period, its body grew rapidly, its skeleton became thicker, and its muscles soared, all of which made it gradually lose its opponents, and even Can compete with lions.

And now TOUJI has completely entered the peak period. When one or two lionesses see it hunting, they can only stare defensively from a distance. Give it a lesson.

As hunters in the prairie territory, lions are also unlucky to have such a strong competitor in their territory. Some time ago, they killed three leopard cubs in a nearby wetland, which was secretly trying to raise their offspring here female cheetah with child.

After the female cheetah was besieged, her left hind leg and abdomen were seriously injured. After she saw the cubs being found and killed from a distance, she wandered sadly for more than an hour before she had to leave sadly.

Unbeknownst to the mother, only three of her four cubs had been killed by the lion, and there was a silent leopard cub, well hidden from the danger just now.

It wasn't until a certain male black leopard passed by that the little leopard cub couldn't help but sneezed.

"grumble--"

TOUJI, who was passing by the grass at that time, was full of question marks. He stopped and raised his legs to look at his paw pads.

Didn't step on anything strange?

Then it looked around, only to find a cheetah cub less than [-] days old who couldn't even open its eyes.

At that time, TOUJI was stunned. This cub had very clear magic lines on its body, obviously it didn't look like it was a non-magic 'waste', so normally it shouldn't be abandoned by the mother leopard.

It hesitated for a moment, and decided to leave it alone, since it wasn't its species anyway.

In other words, even if it is its species, no male leopard will raise its cubs by itself, because it is born without this skill.

The duties of the male leopard only last until the end of the female leopard's estrus period, and the female leopard can give birth on the male leopard's territory, but that's all.

Besides, it is not a female cub, and it is impossible to mate with itself when it grows up. It is still not weaned at such a young age. Where can it get four-month-old leopard milk to feed this little thing?

Thinking so, TOUJI turned and walked away as if nothing had happened.

After an hour.

The strong male black panther stared at the little leopard cub that he hid in another hidden grass nest with a livid face, wondering what evil he had fallen into today.

It may be that the moment he left, it suddenly remembered the female leopard who abandoned it without hesitation.

He thought that if he just left the little brat here, the helplessness and fear he faced back then would also befall this little brat.

Gee.

I don't know how to take care of cubs, so I don't care if I raise them to death.

In this way, TOUJI chose the most difficult road. Without milk, he could only catch fresh prey every day, and let the leopard cub named MEGUMI eat his hunger by licking blood.

And it has to travel long distances every day to hunt farther, so as not to be tracked into the swamp by lions or hyenas, revealing the location of the cubs.

So finally, the little cheetah survived the most difficult first month and miraculously survived.

When the 20th day was approaching, MEGUMI began to grow teeth in his mouth. Although he knew that he might not be able to eat meat, TOUJI had no choice.

The traces of prey are decreasing, and the hunting range of the flame lion is increasing. Fresh prey cannot be found every day.

The cub must be allowed to eat meat.

After going out hunting for two consecutive days and being entangled by lions, TOUJI gritted his teeth and decided to try to feed the cub some minced meat to see if it could digest it.

Sending the chewed fireball rabbit meat to MEGUMI's mouth, TOUJI stared at it nervously until the little cheetah swallowed instinctively.

After observing for a long time, the cub was not found to have a vomiting reaction, so the male black panther was really relieved.

In this way, being randomly fed by inexperienced male black leopards, the cub miraculously grew to two months.

At this time, the leopard cub is still vulnerable, but MEGUMI is very smart. As long as TOUJI goes out to hunt, it will hide in the deep meadow and keep quiet all the time.

Whether it is a group of hyenas passing by, or lions and prairie wolves passing by, it will never make a single movement.

Due to the instinct of self-preservation, the smell of the cubs was originally very weak.

But after eating meat in advance, the composition of MEGUMI's sweat and urine changed somewhat.

Lions and wild dogs may not be able to smell this change, but to magical dogs domesticated by humans and specially used to track pagans, it is like a bright light in the dark night. When entering a radius of ten kilometers, it will was fully noticed.

SHIROU is a super-giant Swiss Shepherd Dog, about the height and length of a polar bear, with a snow-white body and a dark red long hair on his forehead.

Even standing there quietly, its momentum is extremely awe-inspiring.

It has been almost half a year since I left the church where I grew up, Shirou finally got out of the confusion and walked silently alone.

Aimless, eating and sleeping in the open, wandering alone in this magic grassland.

There is no one of its kind here, the hyenas dare not approach it, and the wolves are also afraid of it.

As long as the other lone beasts saw the huge size and smelled the strong attacking smell on it, they didn't dare to stay in this range at all, and ran away with their tails between their legs.

After entering this land, SHIROU can smell what predators are here, but there is no fear in its heart.

The more than twenty cyan magic lines on the snow-white long hair are not decorations. Even the huge flame lions are unwilling to rush to make trouble when they see this unfriendly guy passing by from a distance.

Just kidding, nearly thirty magic lines, where did this monster come from?

Even if the Flaming Lion family used magic power against it together, they probably couldn't match it alone.

However, SHIROU never engages in any territorial competition, it just wanders aimlessly, and it doesn't know what it is looking for.

After approaching the range of ten kilometers, it suddenly discovered an abnormal smell source.

Following the smell, SHIROU dug out the frozen cub from a marsh grass depression.

The little cheetah was trembling all over, and its round eyes were filled with fear of an adult giant predator.

As if he already knew his end, the MEGUMI group was on the ground, motionless, and was pressed by Shirou's pointed nose, sniffing around behind the sweat glands and Madoka's butt.

This pup seems to have a digestive problem?

In just a few seconds, the Swiss Shepherd judged that the strange taste should come from eating meat too early.

It's not good to go on like this.

The little leopard cub looked sluggish, and the tip of its nose, which was supposed to be moist, was also abnormal. Although it would not starve to death if it continued to eat like this, it would cause more serious digestive problems.

It decided to take this unlucky little guy away first.

No matter who is feeding it, this is not the way to go.

So, when TOUJI came back from hunting, what was waiting for it was an empty grass nest and a strong smell full of male carnivores.

The deer leg in his mouth fell to the ground, and the male black panther's golden pupils shrank sharply.

Although there was no smell of blood, the grassy pit that had been roughly dug open could already explain everything.

The male panther arches his back—

Howls full of anger and killing intent resounded across the grassland sky.
