How To Live In A Different World

Episode 53: The Rare Beast? That's six.

We called the village hunters who had kept us waiting in the distance, and we split them up and gathered the knocked down Kobolts in one place.

"Earthfall!"

Four large deep holes are drilled and the bodies of the Kobolts are thrown into them.

Dotha, Dotha.

I gave up crying except for the amount of weapons that I could each have, and I decided to bury them in the dirt.

If you wild the bodies of the High Cobolts and the Twelve Cobolts, even the stupid Cobolts will notice the anomaly.

It may only buy me some time, but I decided it was better than being considered a threat to my enemies.

"Brother, you're smart after all!

"Asshole. This is the first step, the first step. It's the pinnacle of stupidity to spare a little effort to make the crusade more difficult."

"What the hell?"

Cain is like an asshole, with his neck over his head? floating, but I ignore it and talk to the hunter.

"And how far to your destination?

"It's already at the end of my eyes and nose. There is a horizontal hole around the bottom of the hill ahead. Maybe they're nesting in it."

The hunter points to the top of the slope with his fingers.

"So these guys were like watchdogs in a way? Hmm?"

"What's wrong?

Cui looks worried and peeks into my face and asks.

"Hmm!? What would you think if your watch buddy suddenly disappeared?

"Well, there's something going on."

"Right. I hid the body, but it'll be only a matter of time before they find out. Then we need to act as quickly as possible. Whatever it is, it is first and foremost to dare to check the nest holes!

We also started moving ahead of the hunters.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Coming to the top of the gentle slope, the tip was a steep slope about ten meters high.

There are forty cobolts under my eyes, all lying down and resting.

And there's a big lateral hole on the right hand side, with two cobolts standing at the entrance and watching.

"Brother, what are you going to do?

"I can't believe it, let's just see how it goes. If I can, I want to make sure there's an unconfirmed queen."

"Okay. Then Cui and Mooie stay alert behind you!

Cain gives instructions to the two of them, and me, Cain and the hunter look under their eyes in a state of depression, and they stand guard around.

I will see how the condition remains for about an hour, but nothing has changed under my eyes.

"Ugh, nothing's happening"

Cain stretched his back wide and tried to get up.

THEN!?

"... no! The Kobolts are starting to wake up."

I'll stop Cain, activate the eagle's eyes, and keep an eye on the cave entrance.

"Uh-huh."

One voice, the moment I thought I heard a squeal from inside the cave, the forty cobolts moved out in unison and lined up nicely in four rows of columns.

And then he showed up from the cave.

"Whoa, whoa."

"Uh-oh."

A large red-haired high cobolt came out of the cave.

Afterwards, four individuals who appear to be hickobolts, emerge as if they would follow.

At the beginning of the line of forty cobolts, when four high cobolts are attached, they all fall on one knee at a time and drool their heads.

The redhead high cobolt suddenly began to run when he pointed to the three.

The Kobolts follow it beautifully in three rows.

Thirty + four cobolts and high cobolts rushed off just opposite our position.

Among the remaining cobolts, the high cobolt and three cobolts disappear into the cave.

"Apparently, that red-haired high cobolt is the queen."

"Right. But it feels like there are fewer of them than I thought."

I'll check the sights I just saw with Cain on the side.

"Well, there are five in the carriage raid and thirteen that I just knocked down, and I still don't know what's in the cave..."

"What are you going to do?

"I guess we should see it as an opportunity. I am anxious to know how long there is in the cave, but the story of the village chief confirms that there are five high cobolts, so I just knocked one down and now there is one in the cave. Defeat one here and it will be much easier to fight in the future."

"The problem is in the cave..."

"It's okay. Summoning magic in times like this."

"Oh my God! Reconnaissance."

In other words, I immediately summoned a rat and dived into the cave, watching Kobolt's eyes.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The inside of the cave was filled with potatoes by the way, which made it feel dim.

They go deeper and deeper as they connect the sidewalls and ceilings so that they can't be found on the cobolt.

The interior is relatively spacious, making it a main road.

A little further from the entrance, he went out into a slightly larger space.

There were unwrought loads of food and weapons that would have been obtained from the raids of travellers and merchant platoons.

After the place, further into the back, he heard a little noise.

"Queer."

"Ooh."

"Coon."

I thought I was in a big cavity at the moment, and there were around fifty little kids' cobolts there, and the high cobolts and four cobolts were taking care of them.

Among them, there were four individuals whose body was obviously larger than the other children's cobolts, and two redhead types could be confirmed among them.

Zash.

The moment there was a sudden sound, my vision darkened and I returned to normal.

Apparently, a Summoning Rat has been attacked by Kobolt.

"Guys, gather around. Talk about what's going on inside the cave"

I gave details of what I saw inside the cave.

"What are we going to do?

"Well, now would be your chance. We don't have three Heikovolts below Queen."

Mooie insists that she should slap him fast.

"But while I'm tapping, what if the Queens come back? It's dangerous."

The queer disagrees with her hair.

The village hunter doesn't say anything, he just shuts up and sees how it goes.

"What should we do? As far as I'm concerned, it's a great opportunity, so I think I should slap it. But the leader of our party is Kane. Let Cain decide eventually."

When I say so, everyone gathers their gaze on Cain.

Cain puts his arms together, sits on the spot, closes his eyes and thinks.

"Um... I've made up my mind! Now's your chance. Let's slap. If we miss this, there may not be a next time."

Cain's word determined the next course of action.
