The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I’m Taking a Liking to This Life

15. Creatures and escape

- Honestly, that stinks.

When I thought about it, I realized I was unexpectedly a locust.

But is that so weird?

Everybody's got the best life of their own, right?

This is the world.

Make yourself a priority over others.

Consider yourself the best survivor.

Is that "the wrong thing"?

Nothing is wrong.

You can't be wrong.

That's why we don't understand those people's thoughts.

They are torn through the barricade and are desperate to fight.

Why do they keep fighting so desperately without running away?

Easy.

Perhaps they're buying time.

The others - perhaps time for the escape of the same people who were caged inside the mall.

"Because - you're not going through here! Buy us some time for everyone to escape!

"" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "

The men who were fighting scream and inspire themselves to respond to my thoughts.

Definitely.

They are literally buying time for their lives.

Some time for the others to escape.

"... are you serious. That's a good thing..."

I definitely don't want to imitate you...

Why are those people dying so much?

Is that it? Because we have our own family and lovers inside?

Um, still, if I were you, I'd give myself priority over others.

"I knew I'd run away..."

I can't do that.

Hi, I don't like these people.

The weather is cloudy and it's going to rain somethin ', and we'll retreat early.

"Kuh?

Momo in my arms raises his voice.

Are you sure? He seems to be asking.

"... oh, I forsake those people. The momomo... you disagree?

".................. wow"

After a little while, Momo responds.

Let it go, he seemed to say.

Momo agreed, but I was just a little relieved.

"Okay. Bye, Momo. Unshadow me according to my signal. At the same time, I solve 'lurking'. After that, we'll run all at once."

"Wow!"

Momo agrees, too, and I try to solve 'lurking'.

At that moment - there was a change in the war situation.

"Hmm?"

That high oak that I was holding back behind moved out.

Tension runs on the men's faces.

What are you gonna do?

High Oak took only a few steps forward and breathed slowly.

At that moment, my whole body runs scared.

- Huh!! Something's coming!

There's a hell of a 'suck something'!

To the evidence, the other orcs stop fighting once and distance themselves from the men.

And I set up an arm cross to prepare for something.

The men look in surprise at the mysterious actions of the orcs.

"Momo! Let my whole body wrap 'shadows' around me! Right now!

Momo also manipulated the 'shadow' at about the same time I gave instructions as if his instincts had detected the danger.

Momo's 'Shadow' covers my whole body.

In that state, I covered myself with momomo and nodded on the spot.

In the next moment, High Oak 'barked'.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

"~ ~ ~ ~!

The cry became physical destruction and rippled around.

Billy and the atmosphere trembled without joking.

Cracks run on the ground where the cobbles peel off, crumble, and peel off.

The glass in the shopping mall and surrounding buildings was broken and scattered, pouring down to the ground.

Just a few seconds.

A moment of screaming that seemed forever brought catastrophe around.

"- Huh! Ha, ha, ha... Momo, are you okay?

"... kun..."

Weak, but got a response.

What, what's the 'scream' now...?

Is there a scream that disregards that laws of physics?

No, I'm probably 'skilled' too.

'Screaming' skills that do not know the name but cause widespread destruction.

That's what the high oak used.

Ride yourself out just a little bit and look forward.

"Become...!?"

The people who were fighting in front of the entrance were all bleeding out of their bodies and falling.

He's dead.

That one is definitely dead.

High Oak raises his hand.

It signaled that other oaks poured into the mall.

I guess you're going to hunt for a caged human being.

Watching the other oaks enter the mall, High Oak moves on as well.

But inadvertently, the leg stops.

I wondered what was going on - that gaze turned to 'me'.

"Huh!!!

My gaze fits.

Even though it's more than a few dozen meters from here to him.

You're supposed to be using 'latent' skills.

Obviously, his gaze was pointing towards me.

And he...

He looked at me and looked like he was having a good time.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha"

My heart sounds so loud that I feel like I'm about to rip my dokundokun.

Something's wrong with breathing.

Die.

One of those letters comes to mind.
