Afterwards, the Ataru were the only ones in front of the rocks lit by the sunset.
Atal and Caro decide to look into the rocks again where all the adventurers who were forming before the rocks are gone.
"Sure, it doesn't seem like it's just a rock"
Caro also put his hand on the rock and concentrated his consciousness so that he could understand what Atal was saying. Cold feeling coming from a bite of surface. I felt something like magic emanating from the nucleus.
"Oh, I knew this wasn't just a rock, it was a chunk of metal - so it looks like a life form"
It was not to be gained that the facts could be reconfirmed.
"But..."
"Right..."
What am I supposed to do? It was difficult to make that decision. The two roar troubled.
"What about a new weapon? If it's equipment based on Xuanbu material, maybe."
I might be able to break it. Caro also knew the idea was sweet from a look he didn't seem confident in.
"That would be hard...... you could scratch it, but with all this size. Besides, it's hard to destroy even if the contents are mostly metal"
I did my hand on my jaw. The claws were also bothering my head about what was going on.
"Hey, then why don't you go another way?
That was the word of Balkias, who was silent. I don't seem to know exactly why the Atals are bothering me, but I also seem tired of standing still.
"... another way?
"I see."
Caro tilted his neck, but Atal was pounding his hand wondering if he had that hand.
"The problem is that there's only one way through here in the first place."
It is the main road, but therefore we have to do something about this rock. If so, shouldn't we stick to nothing here? That was the sincerity of what Balkias said.
"Ignore the rock, do you mean?
Still, when it comes to bypassing this place, which is the only way it is as it stands, it gets pretty far away.
"You're half right. But going another way would be a big time loss. Besides, if we don't get to and from the rest of them eventually, we're gonna lose all our interactions."
Then what? In Balkias' unexpected word, one answer was floating in the atar.
"- Let's make our way."
The option of creating a new path, not going through this path, not bypassing it. That was a suggestion that made me think Atal might be able to do it.
"I can, that's right. Master Atal can do it!
At first it seemed like an anxious Caro somewhere, but from the anticipation that he seemed to be able to do it, it had turned into an affirmation that he could do it right away if he was his own husband.
"I'm glad you put your full trust in me, but the question is where and how to make your way."
Ataru was wondering where to make it around here without having a significant natural impact, and even more convenient to use.
- Gatan.
"... hmm? Did you hear anything?
Atal looks around at every bit as soon as the sound reaches his ear.
"You did..."
The sound was heard by Caro as well, and she looked around as she fluttered her ears to see where the sound had come from.
"Gallululu......"
But Balkias, the most sensitive of all, knows where the sound came from, and he's staring at you with his fangs peeled.
"Bal... that's him"
Ataru, who followed the gaze of Balkias staring at him, understood what the sound was.
Seeing the same direction, Caro stands silently pulling out the short sword.
"Because you're putting it through - you're having trouble ignoring it and going another way. Ah."
The slightly missed voice was coming from the huge rock in question.
"- Who are you!
Atal asks against the rock as he stares with hegemony.
'It's hard when you ask me who... Ah. I'm just trying to keep you out of here on orders, uh.'
Atal frowns when something goes wrong with the slow talking rocks everywhere, despite the situation Atal is wary of.
"No hostility, huh? Then let's change the question. Who gave you the order?
If you cannot answer about the person, it was a natural decision to ask questions about the orderer.
"It's..."
The rock honestly tried to answer the question, but that's where the words stop.
"What's up?
I can't hear a response at all from a tilted neck atar speaking up. Balkias suddenly shouted when he got a surprised look at what was going on.
'Dear Atal, there's something wrong with this guy!
Balkias, again vigilant, was noticing rock changes in wild prospects. Caro also keeps an eye out of the rock with some unspeakable sensation.
"What?"
"What?"
Atal parrots back to hear the voice of the rock finally heard.
"Guaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
I don't know if it was a shout, just a shout, a yell, or any of that, but the rocks were so loud that the Atals accidentally blocked their ears. Everything around me is shaken up loud like a shock wave.
"... Gu, Ko, this..."
With an intolerable and painful look, Atal blocked his ears with both hands, and Caro and Balkias, with good ears, had managed desperately to prevent his voice by folding his ears.
"Ahhh!
'Ugh!
But it seems particularly hard on Caro and Balkias, who have a sharper hearing than Atal, and I unwittingly raise my voice.
It took about a minute for the shout to subside, and by the time that voice subsided, the rock that had covered the body, which was metal, had worn off and peeled off. like rubble. They roll massively at the foot of the rock.
"Have you shown yourself... you're losing your mind, apparently"
I stopped holding my ears. Atal stares quietly at where the rock was.
The stripped contents of the rock were covered in glossy metal. The metal balls had two things like eyes, out of perspective. That seemed obviously insane. It also had something like a mouth, from which a rough breath was exhaled enough that even water vapor could stand in.
"Is this it, because I tried to tell you something you had to keep a secret, so the limiter activated and left you in a runaway state or something?"
The word Atal chose was appropriate, but it almost referred to the state of the metal demon.
"- Well, it's easier for you to come out as a demon."
I laughed with my nose all the time. Atal starts to distance himself when he puts up his gun.
"Hey, Bal, I'm coming for you!
"Yeah!"
The two finally returning Caro and Balkias are avant-garde, so they were confronted with metal demons when they jumped forward opposite Atar.
