I headed to a cave inhabited by the Lamia.

In their case, would they "dwell" rather than "live"? No, is that rude?

Somehow, they don't seem to have a cultural life, so the image of being inhabited is strong.

The Lamia will have half a snake body, so normal life will be difficult.

"Living" in that sense may not be a mistake either.

That's good. Speaking of why I knew them, when there was a race not under the control of little demon king Melvis, it was the beginning of my investigation.

The Lamian territory is surrounded by ponds and wetlands in and out of the cave.

Otherwise, I told him I would acquiesce to inhabit the cave.

If anything, he thinks he might be able to help protect his residence.

"But it's a powerful species."

After that, I looked into the Lamia.

Then I found out I had the power to be a little less stylish.

Surprisingly, they can use magic. Seems apt for water magic.

Speaking of which, I realized once again that there was an underground connection between the pond outside and the lake in the cave, and you were able to come and go.

Yes, they can breathe in the water.

And like the Auga, the Lamia are able to use their magic vegetables to strengthen their bodies.

Have a strong flesh.

The serpent's lower body is almost made of muscle, to which is added correction by magic vegetables.

When wrapped, tightened, etc., even the Auga are dangerous.

You can travel quickly in the wetlands, and you're good at swimming in the water. They don't have a problem with the sand either.

I think it has quite a multi performance.

And extremely poisonous.

How dare the Lamia produce poison in their bodies. Same as a snake.

It is quite dangerous when bitten because it is a poison that clots the blood.

In this world, very little serum or antidote is present, to the extent that it rubs and applies or swallows disinfectant foliage to the affected area to the degree of rest.

With that level of treatment, I don't think I can do anything about the poison that clots the blood.

It is paramount not to be bitten.

"Doesn't it really poison the superior species?"

When you're about the top race, they don't even accept poison.

If you feel foreign material in your body, it will be deactivated or expelled.

When I heard that, I said, "How cheesy!" That's what I thought.

Anything, superior race.

"... Well, here you are"

I approached the entrance to the cave.

All you have to do is go inside and face the Lamia.

You still haven't accepted the reign of little demon king Melvis for a reason.

I haven't heard that. It's not like I can handle it from what I've heard.

That's why the Lamia are now in a neutral position, even if they don't call themselves enemies.

I don't know when you'll change your mind and attack me. Let's catch your attention.

Slowly moving through the cave, the fence was lumped. It wasn't there before, so I guess I installed it recently.

"Was there any trouble?

Before coming here, he also stopped by other Auga villages, but said he had never been raided by the Lamia.

I don't think I can live together, but I think I can live together.

When I heard that story, I was horrified.

"This fence... it's awkward to destroy it"

The fence may have been installed by the Lamia to avoid unhappy consequences for each other due to unintentional contact.

The fence is so that it is embedded in the walls of the cave, and the round-tails and plates are alternately tied.

After thinking about it, I took off some of the boards and out of the gap I decided to go inside.

I heard a water noise after walking for a while.

Evidence of the presence of the Lamia.

"I am the Golan of the Auga tribe. I need to talk to you."

When I stopped my legs and yelled like that, my voice reflected back in the back of the cave.

After I heard some intense water noises, I quieted back with the scene.

"Hmm... you want to go"

I waited awhile before going back and the whole Lamian tribe was waiting by the water.

There is no other appearance. Probably hiding in the water.

The level of vigilance around here is the same as before.

"Long time no see. Dalmia."

I was there the last time you talked to me about the Lamian Dharmia.

The same thing I used to wear on my upper body, like a perfect tight swimsuit.

Now that I've checked it, I can see that it's knitted grass that grows underwater.

It grows in freshwater, but I expect it to be close to kelp.

They just don't inhibit movement even in the water when they braid it and wear it, or it doesn't degrade quickly.

"Will Dalmia change? Have you ever attacked another race or been attacked by someone else?

"None"

"Well, that's good. I need to talk to you today. Listen to me."

"Okay."

Dalmia's pupils squeezed cuddly.

This is keeping an eye on me, but I'm pretty scared to look into my eyes up close.

"I'm leaving the village for a while."

I wish I could go to war or something, but I still can't let the Lamian tribe, who are not under the control of little demon king Melville, hear that story.

"How long?

"I don't know for a second. Sometimes it's a year longer."

The demonic world is all falling apart the way time feels because of the longevity of the species.

I'm talking to other races, and I heard "contend with my neighbor village before this," so I wonder if that happened, and there's talk of what happened hundreds of years ago.

It's been a long year for me, but what about the Lamia?

"That's a long year."

Again, do you think so? I'm glad you don't feel too different from me.

"In the meantime, I think all the villages around here will be left to another. I'll tell you about this place, so don't worry about it."

But you won't be able to get in touch with me.

I just want you to understand that part. That's what I told him.

And I don't want you arguing with the surrounding species while I'm gone.

"Okay."

The reply is honest. I get anxious if I really know, but I felt the same way when I talked to Dalmia before.

It was a bit of a bluff, so I was anxious.

Still, I didn't get to hang out with any other species, so I think it's okay to trust them.

"If you have any problems, rely on the Kobolds in the village. I'll tell him right away."

"Okay."

…………

You'll be fine. Really.

I wonder why the Lamia are here.

Understandably, this is about seeking a place of peace, but the question is, how did you abandon your previous residence?

Did they chase you or did you leave yourself?

Are they being chased by other races or are they not there?

I've kept it that way because I feel like I'm hiding, and I don't want you to touch me somehow, but will the time come to ask me someday?

The truth is, you can either force me to accept domination, or kick me out of the country if you don't like it, but I really don't feel that way.

"That's more than I can tell you."

When will I see you next with this?

With that in mind, Dalmia approached me without making a sound.
