I stepped into a cave.
I mean, it's wide...
”Big underground lake."
That was the image that popped into my head.
But that's not all.
There are remnants of civilization.
I wonder if this is a ruin.
Buildings protruding from cobblestones and rock walls can be seen.
Inside - bright.
Light-emitting stones were buried in the wall.
It resembles a stone found in the ruins of Mills.
That may be the case when it comes to fantastic beauty.
But it is not the case that such a landscape has taken away my attention now.
I mean...
"Mummmmmmmmmm..."
There's a hill ahead of us - right and left.
A slightly small figure stands on top of it.
They're positioned to surround us.
A dog-like head.
Humanity.
What do you mean, "covolt"?
However, the color of the eyes is green.
It's not the golden eye.
As Nyaki asks for instructions,
"Ah, Lord...."
And I opened my mouth.
They don't call us "toca” when there's someone but us.
When I call you ”Lord” or ”Belzegea”, I am told.
Looks like you're protecting me.
"Nyak, is there anything I can do for you...?
It was then.
Beyond the high ground, a small dragon (?) flew away.
As I grasp it at the edge of my vision, I answer.
"No, it's okay.Now, just like I did, raise your hands and show me no resistance. "
Wow, I see.
And Seras and the others.
"Yes"
Sleigh, who was in the mood in the second form, also loosened his stance.
I'm not here to fight.
I came to ask for your help.
What is needed is not a solution to ravage.
All we need is a solution to get friendship.
If we make hostile moves now, it will be difficult to negotiate in the future.
Avoid critical aspects that require skill use.
And...
There are other signs of monsters.
They're hiding.
Ambush?
…………
He's like a small dragon that just flew away.
It looked like a message.
Maybe he went up there and told them about us.
I'd appreciate it if someone could talk to me.
... speaking of which...
Does the word make sense?
For example, pigeon circles are obviously what I always say.
"I want you to see the Immortal King Zeke.The walruses came here to receive the ”key” from Erica Anaolobael.I heard that King Zeke would accept her name for the time being. "
Yes, I'll talk to Covolt.
But there is no response.
What the covolts showed was a reaction that tilted their necks.
I'll try rubbing the ground small with my soles.
At the same volume as my voice.
Sari
Gummu!
Covolt's bow stance became intimidating.
--Can you hear me?
But the words don't make sense.
Still, there's no sign of an attack in the dark so far.
That's what I thought.
Huh!
An arrow was fired.
Seras pulls out the sword and slashes down the arrow.
She stood before me with her sword in her arms and shield.
"I'm sorry."
Seras apologizes while turning his back.
"Come on, your body's reacting."
I can avoid those arrows now.
But Selas seemed to understand it, but he moved reflexively.
Slowly, Seras lowers his sword.
"There's nothing I can do about it.It's just.... "
With Seras pulling out his sword,
Gummmmu!
The Kobolt side was instantly killed.
And then...
Geghua!
"Xhaaaaa!"
The other monsters that were lurking appear.
They're approaching us, surrounding us.
It seems that I've been hiding and watching.
I suppose you thought it was a fellow pinch.
But the golden eye is zero.
Certainly not.
They're watching us.
But obviously.
Somehow.
The ”quality” of reason is obviously different from those of golden eyes.
I feel that way.
Looking at Chira and her back, the door was still open.
There is no sign of closing for now.
Or...
The ”key” Nyaki is nearby, so it may still be open.
"This could mean... that there are no more verbal subpopulations or monsters."
There are no linguistic species left.
This pattern... is bad.
Then,
"Pippi... piggy!Poyon! "
The pigeon circle jumped out of the robe.
The covolts reacted surprisingly.
I'm not attacking.
Piggy, piggy, piggy! Piggy!Pi, pi, pi!Peony! Peony!
A fiercely squealing piggy round.
What... are you suing me for?
and
Gummy?
"Gu... gummy"
"Gummu....."
Kobolt and the others had a different reaction.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The pigeon circle keeps squealing.
"Pigimaru, hall...?
Selas also blinked and looked at the piggy circle.
What is it, man?
Only slightly....
Decreasing the monster's willingness to kill?
"Punny, punny, punny!Piggy, piggy!
No way, Piggy Maru-
"Are you interpreting my words...?
Krullin
the piggy circle rotates 180 degrees,
Piggy!
Indicates a positive color.
"Pigi Maru, you..."
I accidentally put my right hand on my face.
Fufu.
I still don't think so, and the smile leaks in the mask.
"He's as clever as ever... my God, where are you..."
"... Belzegir, how are the monsters?"
There was a definite change in the monsters.
Reserved.
See how it goes.
It was like that.
Has the complaint of Pigimaru arrived?
The Kobolts have an atmosphere of uncertainty.
I gave instructions.
"Don't do anything for a while.Just wait. "
"Piggy"
When the piggy circle rang, the covolts looked at each other.
They interpreted my words. [M]
― ― ― The covolt side also enters a static stance.
Then,
"Who is it?"
A low voice sounded.
It feels a little echoy.
The light leaked out from the other side of the corner.
I can see the light approaching this way.
That's how he appeared from the corner.
Let's disarm them first.
It was like wings from the base of the shoulder.
The tip of the hand is human, but I can see a large hook nail.
It seems to be a biped walk.
It can also be said to be characteristic from the base of the thigh to the toe.
It resembles that of raptors.
There are also feathers on the head and I think the area grows to the left and right.
He must be a crown feather.
Other shapes are relatively similar to humans.
Sex can be seen as female or female by appearance.
That's....
What do you mean, "Harpy"?
The gaze at us is harsh and sharp.
I wear clothes and apparently armed items.
Looks pretty sophisticated.
I don't feel wild.
Maybe it's clothing and gear made exclusively for Harpy.
But it is not the harpy that asked ”who” just now.
My voice is different.
I see...
There were other subpopulations and monsters with them.
Everyone's armed.
Keep looking, I'll tell Selas.
Drop your weapon.
"Yes"
Throw away your sword, Seras.
I also pulled out my hip dagger and threw it on the ground.
Pigi Maru, Slay, and Nyaki are unarmed.
Seeing him throw away his weapon, Harpy narrows his eyes.
Harpy,
"--Hmm."
And snorted.
…………
Daggers aren't a big weapon to me.
Main focus is on Abnormal Condition Skills.
If anything happens, I can handle it at any time.
What about the magic equipment?
"There's nothing to attack.If you can't trust me, you can have my luggage checked. "
"You can't take hostages of people who come close to the investigation."
I see.
Watch out for that.
Smart.
and
"Good"
A shadow broke into rows and came forward.
The ”skeleton" with the crown came out.
Echoing low voice.
The same voice that I asked you earlier about "someone."
The skeleton wore a crown and a robe.
Unlike the Skeleton King at the Mills ruins.
In other words, "Skeleton King" in the true sense of the word...
On his right hand is a tin cane.
Harpy took a position like a shield in front of the Skeleton King.
And the others spread over their wings, and stood ready.
”If we make a bad move, we can attack anytime."
a strong manifestation of intent.
The Skeleton King asks even more.
"What are you doing here...?
Say, Skeleton King who looks at Nyaki.
"That's... a god beast.And... "
Once again, the Skeleton King observed us.
"To the monster, the beast... the elf... and the fly king's mask... you..."
Skeleton King, point your wand at me.
"Hello... human?
"Yes"
I admitted it.
The other side twitched for a moment.
This is the endless country where the subhumans and monsters have flown.
They are the ones who fled the human world and came here.
It is only natural that humans should be uninvited.
…………
The opponent is the King of the Last Land.
This is the Belzegear version for now.....
You should treat him with courtesy.
I lowered my hips for the time being.
"You will be known as the Immortal King Zeke."
"... anyway"
Your heart is relieved.
A king in the form of a skeleton.
(e) (...) Li (...) Ka (...) or (...) et al. (...) listened (...) (...) (...) (...) (...)
The king of the last kingdom has not changed.
If so,
"Lord Erika Anaolobael asked me to visit the country of the end if I wanted to serve my purpose... so I came here with advice."
Harpy's complexion has changed.
"Dear Zek-sama... this one's name is Anael-san...!
... hmm?
Anael?
Is that what Erica was called here?
Oh no...
”Erica” was a postfix, not a real name.
Maybe.
”Analobael.”
It's a long time.
Anael.
I suppose they were calling it shorter.
It's like a shortened English name.
For example, ”Benjamin” is called ”Benji.”
"... if it's true, there may be room for reflection on whether or not to accept them.But... it's hard to believe that word unconditionally.Can you prove anything worthy of trusting you?
"I came here because Erica Anaolobael gave me the key.She also told me where it is.And the evidence..... "
Get it in your pocket.
Was it a disturbing move?
The opponent's attack appears stronger.
However,
"Good"
King Zeke takes control with his hands up.
I took the waxed letter out of my pocket.
"I have this from Erica Anaolobael.If I give this to you, I will know that the walruses have gotten faith from her. "
Harpy asks King Zeke with his gaze.
King Zeke nods back.
Then Harpy approached and received a letter from me.
If it's not enough to name an analoba, just give it to me.
Erica told me so.
"Hmm...."
King Zeke, who received the letter from Harpy, breaks the sealed wax.
Paki.
When the seal was lifted, King Zeke spread the folded letter.
I immediately began to look through the contents (I don't have eyeballs because it's a skeleton...).
By the way, in the meantime, the soldiers guarding the Immortal King remained alert.
A time of long silence passes.
It seems that the contents are long.
It seems that it takes time to read.
Eventually - King Zeke carefully folded the letter with his bone fingers.
It's like dealing with something important.
King Zeke, who had finished folding the letter, remained silent for a while.
And he made a voice.
"I see... this is certainly something I don't know but Yo and Anael."
I don't know because I haven't seen the contents of the letter.
It appears to contain information that only King Zeke and Erica know.
whereby
”This letter was indeed written by Erica Anaolobael.”
It seems to have been proven.
The method of claim 1, further comprising:
"In an arrangement with Anael, if it is written under threat, it is to mark Yo with a mark that only Yo can understand.And - apparently, I can't find the mark.In other words, this letter is not a letter that you forced Anael to write by means of threats or other means..... "
I see.
Is there such a way?
That's Erica.
Well prepared.
He proved that the letter was authentic, even if I didn't have to.
Even if I'm not here - I can count on you.
King Zeke, who had dropped his gaze on the letter, raised his face.
"I know about you for a moment."
King Zeke looked up over his head once.
It's like chewing on determination.
And I went on.
"Naturally, this country does not accept humans.But Lord Anael - who now seems to be named ”Erica” - is a great benefactor for this country.And there you are... the person who took the ”key” from Lord Erica.If she thinks she deserves it, Yo will have to accept it. "
I knelt down.
Thank you, King Zeke.
"You are already guests.You don't have to. "
King Zeke turned his back, and gave instructions to Harpy.
Take these men to our country, Gratla.
