Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Episode 75 Hu and Ku

"It looks like you can finally introduce yourself.

I'm Sinya. We came to this island in an accident. Could you talk to me, please?

After the flickering and the light moved in the shade of the tree, they flew towards us as if they were afraid.

The light approached and finally found out who it was.

It was flames that glowed. A powerful and, above all, beautiful crimson flame, even though it is small.

It shapes birds like sparrows, flying small powders of fire around them each time.

The whole is about the size of a sparrow, but there is a long flame feather jumping out at the top of the head, and the flame feather is burning up with the strongest swing.

The two of them stopped at a branch of a tree a little further away and looked at us still.

I've cleared the most difficult dungeon, but I've never seen a monster like this. I haven't even heard of it.

Phoenix is probably the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to flaming birds. It is also called an immortal bird and is often treated as a holy beast.

However, the existence of spirits, holy beasts, and fairies has not been confirmed in this world. It's the same since it was a game. I've never heard of anything like that.

A while ago, I was stunned, but now I want more information than ever. I have information about this island and how to get back to the mainland.

"Do you have a name?

………

Can't I... speak a different language...?

"... hoo.

"... Ku.

"Hmm? Hu and Ku?

The two of them just kept looking at me for a minute, and they wouldn't answer the second question.

May I assume that you understand what I'm saying...? I believe it is being conveyed, so let's move on now.

"Hu and Ku come here every night, but what are they doing?

"... a story.

Oh, I got it! This is going well! It's just... that's all I was talking about, and the answers are short.

Are you talking to me? What are you talking about?

The story only sounds like you're trying to kidnap a child... but if you don't build some trust with these two first... if you can escape and never show up again, you're hopeless.

"... I have to go.

The two spreading out the little wings of deep red.

Ah!

I flew into the woods before I could say anything. Hated...? Are you suspicious...?

I didn't feel like I got away, and you're okay... right?

Sleep that day with anxiety, the next night.

"Whoa, whoa! Ku!"

Two of them, who had stopped a little further away, flew up close.

"... I'm here. Sinya."

"Did you wait for me? I'm glad to hear that.

"... are you happy?

I see. I'm glad. "

After they looked at each other, they turned towards me and shaken the flaming feathers in their heads vertically. It's made of flame, and it's hard to read emotions, but you're happy...?

What kind of place is this?

"... Sharna.

"Is it the name of this island...? Is there anyone on this island who's surprised by Hu and Ku?

"... I'm here.

"Are you there? That is the good news.

"... I have to go.

Ah!

The two flew away again.

Is there a time limit every time? Too little information to exchange in one day. You have to decide to listen carefully.

In the days since that day, I asked Hu and Ku some questions and found out a few things.

First of all, it seems that the two Hu and Ku have been on this island since they were born and have never been outside this boundary.

It's a creature I've never seen before, but I just tilted my neck when I asked about it. If you had been inside the boundaries ever since you were born, you wouldn't have wondered because you've only seen the world.

There are two other things I've learned from talking to Hu and Ku. When these two answer questions, they don't lie. This is only speculation (presumably), but I think it is probably not wrong. In a situation where they have to tell lies, the two clatter their mouths. Choose silence, not lies.

Characters are cowardly, but curious and slightly more curious. My image is of a pure kindergarten child. I don't think that's so wrong.

Next, it is an island called Charuna, in the middle of the sea, with no other land. There's something on the other side of the border, except hoo and ku, but he didn't tell me anything about it.

And the most important part of the information available was that there was a way to get off this island and get to another land. Unfortunately, I didn't know what to do just because I heard there was a way, but I could hope just because I knew there was a way.

This information was shared with Niru and others, and Niru was pleased with the information that they might be able to get out.

Hu and Ku have become much less alert to me and can now talk about it quite well. Tell Hu and Ku that my people are also coming to this island, and I promised to meet Nil and the others today.

"It's a little exciting. I was only listening to you, but you can finally meet me.

"As far as Sinya's story goes, I'm looking forward to seeing them because they're so cute.

"If anything happens to your mother, I'll protect you!

It's the reaction of Sansan, but everyone seems to be looking forward to it, including Burt, whose eyes are swimming.

When I arrive at the place where I always meet Hu and Ku, Hu and Ku are on branches that are farther away than usual. He seems a little vigilant.

"Cute!

"Come on, I've never seen anything like it!

Alolia and Bart are pretty excited, but Nil is unexpectedly big.

I thought, while staring at my face, Hu and Ku are also staring at me. Apparently, I'm just being honest and worried about my face, and my heart is getting excited.

"Phew. Ku. I'm the one you were talking about yesterday.

"... friends?

"I'm Aloria. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, come on, Burt!

"I'm Nil!

"... hoo.

"... cu.

He was friendly with me, and he got used to the three of us fast. Rather, by the time I got home, the three of them had gotten along better with Hu and Ku than I did.

I spent so much time getting along.....

"Come on, we can't go first, can we?

"... yeah.

"Can't somebody ask me if I can come in?

"Want to ask?

"Huh?! Is that possible?!

What a blind spot... when I asked you to meet me, you said you couldn't, so I excluded it from my head.

"Even if the meaning is the same, a little difference in words can bring back different answers.

"That's the mother of one child..."

"I'll be back tomorrow, so can you hear me by tomorrow?

Yeah!

Hu and Ku replied cheerfully and flew away from the branch.

I hope this will help us make progress...

After noon the next day. Though there was an inventory, I could not rest assured, so I spent the usual time searching for ingredients at sea and finding things that could become firewood such as driftwood.

In the meantime, I can see people walking along the coast. Who knows who to see on the coast of this island.

"I thought it was time to come... at all..."

Pork Beast Tribe Nazar.

I thought it was time to run out of food and firewood for the two Servants. If we had dived in the ocean every day, like us, we wouldn't have lost food and firewood so quickly. I thought that if I just consumed what I was given without thinking about anything, I would visit around here.

You'll see that you don't have to think deeply. The two Servitors have no tongue and cannot propose. When I suggested collecting things in the ocean, the arrogant master would have thought he could get supplies from us or take them away.

The Servitor couldn't do that treatment, and we collected a lot of supplies. If we knew that, we would have noticed our existence, and his arrogance would have been further fuelled by the fact that he gave us supplies for free.

I may have thought it would be good for you because you treated me.

The two Servitors are coming down on their faces unfortunately, and they must have done what they could. Well, I didn't expect Nathal to hear it from the beginning, and it's generally as expected.

Nathal walks great in front of them.

When I look at Nil, I take Aloria and Bart into hiding in the woods.

"This is this. It's strange to see a Pritchhound dog like this.

Seeing that we can't get in touch with Prithue from here, it's a pretty naughty attitude.

"What? Are you here to say thank you for the treatment? Then you don't have to worry about us.

"Thank you? Why should I say thank you?

It is only natural that you should serve me as a nobleman. I just did what was natural, but I can't say thank you.

"... well, that's fine. I didn't do anything to help you.

"Still, you seem to be living a pretty good life.

After the fire or looking at the tent, Nathal narrows his eyes.

"If you look in the ocean, there was a lot of stuff that was flowing down there, so you guys should be like this?

You wouldn't be ridiculous to say you didn't sleep on a deserted island, would you?

"If you don't do that, you just have to give them to me. I didn't do such a thing.

and leave quickly with food and firewood. I'm going to use this now.

"Go to sleep and say your bedtime words. There's no way to give it to him.

"What are you talking about? Are you still stupid?

"I don't want to be told by you alone. Anyway, you're not even going to do leftovers. You leave now.

"Am I allowed to say that to me, a nobleman?

"You're really stupid. This is a deserted island. You can't get in touch with the people who protect you so I can't get in touch with Prithue. Whether you're a nobleman or a king, that doesn't make any sense here.

"I am noble! It is only natural that civilians should serve the nobles! It has nothing to do with the place! Come quickly! Buhy!"

Aquaspires fly out of the woods when Nathal leaves anger to me to catch them.

Nil remembered the Magic Book he got for completing the Dungeon with Event Rewards.

Fuck!

Bhihi!

Nathal, surprised by the Aquaspire piercing the ground, arrives at the buttocks.

"Do you think this is going to happen for free?! Bhih!"

"On the contrary, do you think you'll be safe on this island without backing up, trying to exploit us?

"Buhy?!

"If I kill you here, no one will know?

"Bububuhihi?!

"If you understand, let's lose it.

"Oh, I'm so hurt! He will die like this! And if you kill me, these two will die!

While wearing buttocks, Nissar kept opening his mouth to make things easier. I have lived a life where I can only live by exploiting others. Even if I told you to live honestly now, you wouldn't be able to nod honestly.

But no matter what happens, putting your soul gall and your servants' lives at stake can only be a factor for me to rub my nerves backwards. I did treat Nazareth to help two of our Servitors, but if it's any harm to us, we'll have to change our minds.

In the first place, he's the man who sold all of Delsmark, including Prithue. The reason for the sale must have been self-serving. Gold or status, or both. I don't think they'll keep that promise, but it's important to him.

I don't feel hesitant to kill such a man now.

I put my hand on the slash blade, pulled it out, and stopped the blade at Nazareth's neck.

The two Servitors couldn't even react, and they just stood up.

"Bh... buhy..."

"Get lost."

Lower your voice and throw a single word as you gaze into Nazareth's eyes.

Never before have you had such a direct and obvious intention to kill. The man who did that must be dead.

But no one here can blame me for helping Nathal, even if I shake the blade like this. I wonder if I can finally understand it. I'm sweating a lot with a pathetic voice.

"Buhihi!!

Nathal leaves his squire behind and flees with all his might. I wish this would change my mind a little.

"Next time, I won't stop the blade.

Both Servants keep their heads down on my words and follow Nazareth. They are also responsible for failing to stop Nazareth from moving. Next time Nathal comes to say something stupid, I'll cut off his neck for sure. That means their deaths. I realized there was no next time, and I would literally stop trying to die.

"Master!

"Nil, Aquaspire was saved.

"I made an extra imitation.

I wasn't the one Nil helped. Rather, the two Servitors. If I had kept my hand up, I would have left Nathal with a wound that looked cute on his arm. Naturally, I will not heal the wound. It is unlikely that this uninhabited island with limited supplies will survive. As a result, Nazareth dies, and those two are taken with them.

The timing to prevent it was unprecedented.

"No, my head is cold. Well done. Thank you."

I stroked Nil's head and smiled as usual.

Aloria and Bart were scared to see Nathal's face, but this would have brought them peace on the island.

For the sake of the two Servants, Nazareth entered the Night Forest, praying that he would never make an extra mess again.

"Phew. Ku. Are you listening to me?

Hu and Ku, who flew up and down the beautiful wings of the flame, stopped at the branch.

"... they're coming.

"Coming...?

Hu and Ku say that there is a strange atmosphere coming from the forest.

White, big light slowly approaching from among the trees. Nil flows into the atmosphere and hangs his hand on the handle of the dagger.

Nil, don't pull it out!

He reacted to my voice with a twitch and let go of his hand.

There is no hostility, but it is no ordinary opponent at all. Since I came to this world, I've been wrapping up air that is different from anything I've ever seen. If you show hostility and start a fight, you don't think you can handle us. No, I don't think I can beat people.

Cold sweat erupts, keeping your eyes out of the light.

The blurry outline of light gradually converges towards the center and takes shape.

I didn't know what it was at first, but as the light converged, I could recognize that it was human.

"People...?

"No... just the shape.

After the human form has been completely formed, as the light amount is gradually suppressed, it is finally possible to fully recognize its appearance.

In the appearance of a human woman, her long white hair and white eyes. A well-prepared face that can only be described as beautiful by anyone. But it's too neat, too beautiful, and on the contrary, I feel scared. Like a fake, like a doll... I get that impression.

No matter how beautiful you look, everybody here thinks it's bad.

"Are you the people that Hu and Ku were talking about?

A strange voice tone that cannot be said to be male or female.

Drink raw saliva and choose your words carefully.

"... yes.

"I heard you came here unknowingly.

"... yes. The sailboat on board was swallowed by the storm, and when I realized it, I found myself on this island.

"... it's not that easy to get there..."

When a white woman looks at me, she thinns her eyes slightly.

"I see... is that so?

"I knew you had entered the island. Looks like there's three more?

"That's different from us. I don't want to be involved.

"... I see. Are those three attracted by chance?

I can't understand what the white woman is saying. Did you know we were on the island? If you knew and ignored us... do you recognize us as enemies...?

I desperately suppressed my desire to grip the handle of the cut knife placed on my waist.

……

"... if this happens, you can't let it pass.

I don't want to go any further, but... I'll let you pass.

If you point your thin, beautiful index finger at me, four white, tiny grains of light will appear from your fingertips.

"Master!

"Don't move. Nil. Maybe... it's okay.

Four grains of light are moving through the air and coming into the four of us.

"... now you can come in here.

…………

Hearing the words of a white woman, I set foot behind the line.

Crazy...

I can hear the sound of dead leaves stepping on.

Hu and Ku, who were in front of me, and the white woman remained there.

It's really going to cross the line.

"I've allowed you in, but please don't do anything bad in this.

"... I don't do such stupid things.

"It's a special triumph. Please come to me.

A white woman walks quietly to the back of the forest. We'll just have to keep quiet and get there, and there's nothing we can do.
