Demon Lord Wants to Laze

Episode 48: Inside the Cave

The girl pulls my hand and walks to the back of the Don't Cave.

Perhaps you'd rather hide in a place like this than run around poorly to escape the chase of the city.

I can't see without using pine lights like this, but girls don't seem to.

Is it hard to see at night?

But it's a long cave.

It's like a natural pit, wondering if it's a large space where the house is going to be suffocated, an elongated ramp, a chopped cliff... with a complex structure.

That's how it went, the girl stopped.

There are only walls, in a large space where people can fit in.

The girl is tapping the wall petite as she explores.

Then,

Gone?!

What, he just disappeared?

What a surprise, only my head jumped out of the wall.

A crisp, round eyed raw neck is looking at me, frightened.

Now my arm grew from the wall and grabbed me.

No, don't come!

That's how I was dragged inside the wall.

Inside the wall... what is this place?

There is about two open spaces in the room.

There is spring water, and the tall trees, some fruit is bearing fruit.

The ceiling was like countless ores sparkling and reasonably bright.

From that ore, randomly, a few light muscles flicker down, and after a slight glow on the ground, fade away.

I guess the ore shards are pouring down.

The grasshopper that received it swayed in full each time.

When I look at the wall that came in, I see a proper exit there.

I didn't see it from the other side, and I didn't feel one of the signs.

There was a small pedestal, milky, finely decorated, on the side of a small creek made by springwater.

There was a cat on the pedestal, a cat with long hair.

Did he get there, like us?

You're here, I finally see you.

I heard a neutral and strange voice.

In my ear rather than say I heard it... no, it's a voice that sounds directly in my head.

I'm tired of waiting, I thought you'd come sooner.

Who is it?

From where?!

I don't look like a person when I look around.

Hey, don't ignore me!

I felt like Tessitesi at my feet.

When you look there, it's the cat from earlier.

Uh... maybe.

"Are you talking?

What do you mean, who else is there?

"No, 'cause I can't believe the cat talks."

Oh, give me a second?... uh, I knew it. You're still closed, aren't you?

"Is it closed? What the hell are you talking about?

Mm-hmm. I don't know if I can say it by mouth. Well, take your time.

The cat, who yawned all the time, went back to the pedestal again.

Room in the wall.

Fantastic space.

Talking cat.

It's still closed.

Looks like we've been dragged into an unexplained world all at once, but we'll probably be safe here.

Try to give me a break without thinking deeply.

The girl is also looking at the cat earlier, with her hands on the edge of the pedestal.

Try a little stroke or a light twitch and you seem relieved.

Let me take a moment to think about what I'm going to do.
