“Wow...!” (Shii)
Shii couldn’t help but let out a cry of admiration.
After all, this place was right in the middle of the capital.
Despite this, the area was more than two kilometers in diameter. If you included the tunnel they went through to get here, how much land did it cover?
Yes, spatially speaking, it’s impossible for such a place to exist in the middle of the capital.
However, such a question did not occur to Shii, and she was simply entranced by the beautiful garden – and that’s when it happened.
[How... how did people reach this place?] (???)
It was like a whisper, like the sound of rustling leaves in the wind.
The voice seemed to belong to a man.
“... Who are you?” (Shii)
Shii asked a little cautiously, and a somewhat amused voice replied.
[Hmm, my name is Lunaraba... A remnant of the past. An almost vanishing illusion.] (???)
“Hmm? I don’t really get it~” (Shii)
As Shii tilted her head, the whispering voice laughed with amusement.
As he asked this, the monster skeleton sat down a little distance away from the two.
“Yes! We’re not related by blood. He’s called Sakuya. He’s cute, right?” (Shii)
[Hmm, hmm... young creatures are cute, but he didn’t cry when he saw me. Are you not afraid of me either?] (Mukuro)
“Our family consists of many different creatures! Uncle Mukuro is a bit unusual, but that doesn’t scare Shii or Sakuya!” (Shii)
[Oh... I’m a bit interested in your family. Are they not around?] (Mukuro)
“Well, we got separated! We were going to join them, but Sakuya sensed something as we moved, and then we ended up here together!” (Shii)
[Hmm, we put up a double barrier to make sure that no one would find this place, but he sensed it. That’s a big deal. –By the way, Shii. I’m far too old to be just an uncle.] (Mukuro)
“Is that so? But you have beautiful bones, Uncle Mukuro, so I thought you were young!” (Mukuro)
[Kukaka, is that so? Beautiful bones. That sounds off-putting but I am not offended.] (Mukuro)
The beast skeleton laughed with genuine amusement.
Objectively speaking, it would not be surprising if his appearance would shock anyone, but the slime-like girl simply called him “Uncle Mukuro” in a cute way, and the human infant was watching him with interest.
It was a new and refreshing experience for the monster skeleton, who had lived for a long time.
