“Orcs?”
It did take them a while to realize that, but they did in the end. However, that nowhere explained the fact about the size comparison which she had done.
She nodded her head vigorously after hearing that.
Shin looked at her sparkling eyes and realized that she wasn’t trying to lie. She was definitely not tricking him or Terran.
“Hmm…”
Not that Shin had ever encountered an Orc, but he roughly guessed its height.
With that, Shin confirmed that his imagination was on point.
‘According to her description, there is no orc that is 10 times bigger than a human, that she encountered.’ – Shin concluded.
Well, just before that, Terran intervened and said, “So you are blind!”
His chest seemed to be full of pride as soon as he said that.
To this, he didn’t reply because he too knew that he sounded ridiculous.
Whatever, Shin wasn’t interested in that anyway. That was because he had almost figured out what the young cub was trying to say.
“Don’t tell me, the witch is ten times smaller than the Orcs?” – that was the only explanation that he could think of.
“That is one way to put it master!”, Alira smiled when she said that.
Shin started to sweat profusely right after hearing that.
‘Doesn’t that mean…’
With that, he would be able to compare the witch’s height with himself.
‘System, how big is a normal Orc when compared to me?’
[ A normal Orc would be five times taller than the host ]
‘Doesn’t this essentially mean that she is half of my height…’
‘Just how small is she?’, he asked himself because being half as small as he was literally being as small as a small wolf pup or a newborn wolf pup or just a little bigger than them.
‘The heck!?’
i𝚗n𝘳𝙚𝑎𝗱. 𝑐𝗼𝒎
“Is she really smaller than me?”, he asked her.
“…”
She nodded her head vigorously again and said, “Yes, that’s what she said when we first met!”
“…”
But by asking her about that, he knew this much that the witch was a weird creature – different from what he had been imagining.
“How does the witch look like?” – yes, this was a good question to ask at the moment.
“Yes.”
“She was smaller, shorter, and cuter than master and-”
Whatever, it was finally confirmed that the witch was indeed way smaller than him.
Why would someone call such a creature – a witch?
“Oh, then did she look like some particular creature?”
Yes, witches and wizards were believed to be a totally different race. They had their own kingdom after all.
After hearing about the short height, Shin wondered if it really was some species that he knew about.
“She kind of looks like you.”, was what Alira said.
This was surprising to hear.
Alira looked at Terran and said, “Yes, her ears are like him…”
Yes, now there was no doubt at all.
He had never imagined for a witch to be a wolf, and that too a pup!
“She has the same white color as you master…”
‘Her eyes and color of her fur are the same as me?’
Tons of questions were on Shin’s mind, to which he had almost no answers since he had never seen the witch for himself.
How could she even perform witchcraft?
But oh well, he could figure all those things out after meeting the witch.
‘Ding’
“We will search for-”
The advice was weird, way too weird for now.
It would definitely be for a good reason, so Shin decided to search for the witch after an hour.
Also, he wasn’t doing that on a whim at the moment.
“Let’s wait for an hour and recover properly.”, Shin contradicted himself and said this immediately after he stated the earlier.
He wouldn’t voluntarily waste time, Terran knew this much.
‘I think the cub and I have been healed completely…’
“…”
To be continued…
