104-104. Cave

Is this the Luperson's Cave?

Continuing northeast, we found a huge hole in the cliff.

Just in front of the cave, there is a demon that looks like a popotardus.

Just as the fish man said, it is almost certainly a bipedal hippopotamus, as it has the appearance of a bipedal hippopotamus.

It has a stone spear, clothes, and seems to have some intelligence.

I'm going to evaluate whether this is really Popotadas or not.

It's a Popotadas. Individual Name: Doubabba. lv. 20/32, 17 years old, male.

HP 321/321

MP 2/2

A demon with powerful powers. They are usually quiet and do not actively attack others, but they have no mercy on anyone who comes near their nest.

It's like Popotadas.

From the level, his HP is awfully high, but his MP is really low.

Is it a brain-type demon?

But if these guys are really Popotadas, wouldn't it be impossible for a life witch to be in the nest?　As far as this description goes.

Is there a dwelling place for the Witch of Life beyond the cave?

Or because she's a witch, does she have Popotardus in tow?

Is that Popotadas impossible to talk to?　You seem to be relatively civilized.

You seem to have no mercy on anyone who comes near your nest.

''I see. But then it would be strange to think that the Life Witch is in that cave...

Mek seems to be stuck in the same place as me.

Well, we'll find out soon enough. You'll see if you can beat them.

Yeah. Whoever's keeping watch could take down a hundred of them.

Well, that's encouraging.

Let's go.

Okay.

We head for the cave.

We are soon spotted by Popotadas.

Popotadas warns us, holding the weapon he is carrying.

"Koleijow Kitarakolos.

He seems to be able to speak the language, albeit in one language.

It doesn't seem to be a no-questions-asked question.

Let's try a dialogue.

"We're not here to fight. Can we go inside the cave?　I'm looking for this witch of life.

"Shaverna Kitharakolos.

Hmm, they don't seem to want to talk about it.

I guess we'll just have to go through it by force, won't we?

However, if it weren't for the witches, I'd feel sorry for them.

They're just trying to protect their dwelling place, too.

I have a skill called 【Thundershock】. This only numbs the enemy, it doesn't kill them.

I don't want to kill them here, I'll just use 【Thunderbolt (Thunder Shock)】 and do something about it.

Thinking that, as I got even closer to the cave, Popotadas attacked me.

Just before I was about to use 【Thundershock】, Popotadas stopped attacking me.

I stop using it as well.

What's going on?

You're looking at something Mek...

'Majo!　Sama!

Popotardus looked at Mek and exclaimed.
