7 第一村人発見！(された)

"You can't sleep here. You'll die. Wake up! Wake up!

When you wake up, your body is shaken and you see a white fluffy thing. I rubbed my eyes, which were still blurry from waking up, and when they came into focus, there was a boy and a girl with long ears looking into my face.

"Hmm? Bunny ears? ...I mean, I found the first villager: .... I'm sorry.

They must have been tired yesterday. It seems that she slept soundly, despite the alarm on vibrate.

I'm not sure what to do. Can't you move?

"Oh... I'm just tired, that's all. I'll be up in a minute. I'll be up in a minute.

I'll be up in a minute." I can't tell them I'm still sleepy when they look at me like they're sincerely worried about me.

I can't say I'm still sleepy. There are a lot of monitor lizards around here, so if you sleep in a strange place, you'll die.

Seriously?

"Yeah.

I asked them about it, and they told me that they broke off some fresh branches to camouflage themselves, and when they gathered them together, the smell of the plants was so strong that it made them stand out even more. These two also came to check on me because of the strong smell of newly broken plants. If there is any danger, they have to report it.

"Hey, I need to talk to you about something, but my brother doesn't have anywhere to go. If you could, could you take me to where they live?

I'm sure the adults will get mad if I take you to everyone's place because you're a human being. .... Don't get mad at me.

Don't get mad at me. .... "Don't get mad at me

I don't need these templates: .... That's what it is, right? You're a human supremacist and you're persecuting subhumans, right? I'll ask them.

I don't know.

We're not bunny ears, we're rabbit people. We're not rabbit ears, we're rabbit people. The adults said humans are mean because they don't like non-humans. Bingo.

Bingo... but I'm pretty sure I could die if I was left here. ....

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. I'm going to work really hard, can you let me live in the corner? My brother is really in trouble. .... I'm really in trouble.

Are you lost, big brother?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I'm lost in the streets and in life. .... Yeah.

That's for sure.

What do we do? You look like you're in real trouble.

I feel sorry for him... let's take him with us.

I don't want to embarrass this innocent child. My life is at stake too... I'm rather worried that these kids are too innocent to be tricked by bad guys.

If you just want to ask them, is that okay with you?

"Yeah, I'm fine with that. Thanks. Hmm? Someone's coming from over there... picking them up. ....

We don't need a ride, and the adults in our village don't come here much, do they?

But, you know, there's .... But look over there:

I point to the approaching figure and they both turn pale.

You can't come here. It's a demon!

It's a hobgoblin! It's a hobgoblin! It's a hobgoblin! It'll take more than one adult to beat it! We have to tell everyone!

While I was talking about this, the shadow was getting closer and closer, and I could see it clearly. He was about the same height as me (175cm), but he had the physique of a martial arts fighter I had seen on TV. He had small wounds on his face and body that bled.

What's wrong with him? Is he in trouble?

"Yes, brother! Goblins are usually in packs. He's probably a straggler who's been living on his own! That's a bad thing! Let's get out of here!

If he's really that bad we'd better get a move on.

"Hey, you two, run. I'll draw him away and take care of him! If you're really strong, you can't just run away with this thing that's endangering your family and your friends! Run to call for backup!

But, big guy!

Come on, Mei! Run! The longer we wait, the more likely it is that you'll die! Run!

So your name is Mei... I missed the boy's name. I'll have to do my best to get it right! Come on! You gobshite!
