"Huh!? Hey, you know what you're talking about?

My eyes were on Maribel's sudden confession.

The young beast man in front of us says he was with the Abyss Walker we were looking for.

"Because it looks just like that sketch. My fathers were creepy, but my employer told me not to tell anyone else."

Maribel, who regarded herself as denied what she had said, pointed her mouth and protested against me.

Still young and beastly, she looks almost the same as a human child, but a small dripping cat ear visible in her brown hair tells the story of her being a beast man.

Would it piss you off to say she's cute......

Maybe this is what the world says about my sister.

Maribel, the young beast man, was a child full of cuteness, as much as she seemed to think of herself and Fern all along.

Meira seemed quite interested in Maribel like that, and she spoke seriously unlike her attitude toward me.

"Er, you said Maribel. The creature in this sketch is Abyss Walker, and it's a terribly scary creature. Didn't your fathers tell you that?

"I thought it might be Abyss Walker that my mother told me about Maribel, but not because my father said he wasn't."

Indeed, as Mayla said, there's no way I can't tell you about Abyss Walker in this Hartford kingdom from an adult.

I grew up in an orphanage. Even I've been told many times, and you don't know it.

But I wonder why Maribel's father saw the creature on Mayla's map and said it wasn't Abyss Walker?

It's not like Maribel's father doesn't know Abyss Walker.

Maribel doesn't look like she's lying either.

I'm not sure what it is anymore.

"Hey, wait a minute. I wonder if you could sort things out. I'm going to have a headache."

There were signs that the conversation was going to get complicated, so I decided to sort it out once.

"Oh, yeah. First of all, where does Maribel live? This isn't your home, is it?

Meira, who sensed such signs of me, was listening to Maribel to confirm them.

"It's obvious. Even Maribel doesn't live in such a dark, stinking room!

Maribel seemed heartless to have been asked if this was the house, with a pumping and angry look on her face.

Being angry doesn't compromise Maribel's cuteness, but rather makes me want to put things in place for her.

I can't believe there was such a pretty girl in the world......

I noticed a hand I put out to caress my head by accident and was pulling right in.

"Maribel followed me from the city of Imbahanes in the luggage of my father's carriage. Even when I look like this, I'm good at hide and seek."

"You've been hiding in a carriage from Inverhanes!?

Being an animal man, I didn't think you were from Yughannotes... no way, Imbahanes.

Hiding in the wagon's luggage...

Quite a way to erase the signs, isn't it?

Inverhanes is the one who went east of here, and it should be quite a long way.

"Yeah, maybe two weeks. I slept at lunch and had a carriage dinner when everyone was asleep at night."

How dare you act like that at this age...... not too bold?

I can't believe you followed your father without finding him all the time, you're an actionist girl without looking.

"So, when I arrived at this facility, my fathers found me, and I couldn't let them go home alone, so I kept it to my employer, and I lived with everyone here."

Looks like Maribel's fathers weren't here on their own, they were hired by someone to come to this place.

"Could your employer have been this avis walker?

"Yeah, no. From what I hear the fathers were talking about, it's like the minister of the Lords of Imbahanes. Anything, he said if I helped him fix the facility here, he'd make the city of Imbahanes another beast country. And there were a few people who spoke in words I didn't quite understand, and some of them were disgusted."

Maribel doesn't seem to know the details either, and she was telling me stories her father told me.

The minister of the lord of Imbahanes is the employer......

Besides, this is some kind of facility, and they've been sending people out on purpose to fix it.

And what does it mean to make Imbahanes a kingdom of beasts......

I don't think a city in the Kingdom of Hartford can be independent or anything.

"When I say Lord of Inverhanes, Gill, the Knights of Kingsguard, should have gotten it as a territory two years ago... I wonder what kind of facility you've been building in Abyss Fall in this endless land on purpose from there."

I sensed that Maribel's words were somehow getting mixed with the smelly stories, and Meira, who was next door, was also clouding her face.

"So, my fathers were helping me fix this place for about two months, and I suddenly stopped fixing it about three weeks ago and only took my fathers away."

"Two months ago!?

Maribel's fathers have been helping repair this underground facility in Avisfall for over two months, he said.

But in that time of year, is this area about an adventurer who comes to crusade against demons?

Rebecca said it was only recently that there were more people.

"There were others, but they said it was a long time ago."

According to Maribel's testimony, this underground facility has been in operation for quite some time.

What the hell are you putting an institution like this in such a place for...

Every time I went ahead and listened, there were more questions in my head.
