Astra-Chan Decides to Go South

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 70771

This was very different from any sort of training that Astra had anticipated. She guessed that she was supposed to get the chest of gold. But to do that would mean defeating the giant minotaur, and she did not even have a weapon. Maybe she could distract it with the leg of lamb for long enough to grab the gold? If she could jump to another platform before it attacked her then she would probably be safe, since the creature looked too heavy and clumsy to be a good jumper. But then she realised that, carrying the heavy chest, she would be unable to jump to another platform to escape from it.

Astra therefore decided that if she was to defeat the minotaur she would have to acquire a weapon of some kind. Though she could see nothing on the south platform, she would go there first. Maybe there would be something hidden there.

She took the leg of lamb in one hand, just in case she found a use for it. Then she retreated as far as was possible, to get the maximum run-up, before sprinting forward and leaping when she reached the edge.

  1. She landed safely on the south platform.
  2. She misjudged her leap and found herself falling.
  3. But in mid run-up she had a thought, and pulled up. If she gave the leg of lamb to the minotaur, might it regard her as its friend and let her take the gold?
