Chapter 67: What an extremely pessimistic dwarf...

A group of more than a hundred dwarves approached nervously. They were about the same height as me, yet their shoulder width was more than double mine.

A-ahm, cuse mehello, Im Dolan

and Im Luke, the chief of this village. A pleasure to meet you.

He had a beard and rough-looking featuresbut for some reason, he spoke very softly.

His appearance and his speech definitely didnt match.

I thought he might just be an exception, but I quickly confirmed that wasnt the case.

The other dwarves, all of them, were acting all nervous and were even fidgety. They werent at all like the hearty dwarves Ive heard of.

We used to live in the mountains over thereRead latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Isnt that place full of monsters though?

It is, but we have our own cavern

This cavern was apparently at the foot of the mountains.

It had only one entrance, and its inner structure was very suitable for their defenses.

They said they stayed in the cavern almost all of the time, so I wondered where they got their food.

Actually

Dolan-san told me that a few days ago, a ferocious monster appeared in their cavern.

The entrance to the cavern was sealed off that time and there wasnt any indication of it being forced open, yet the monster still appeared and rampaged within.

i-its a monster that could be said to be both like a giant snake and hornworm

A few dwarves were eaten by that monster. After getting full, it retreated.

However, because it appeared seemingly out of nowhere again, the dwarves had little choice but to abandon the cavern they called home for generations and flee to the wasteland.

While telling us of their story, Dolan-sans face was ghastly pale.

And thats when we saw this placewe have nowhere to go, no foodif at all possible, please consider granting us with food

Dolan-san timidly requested like that.

Giving you food wont be problem. Well also provide you with a place to live in.

R-really? Were of a different race, yet youre showing us so much kindnessha? I dont suppose the compensation you expect from us is labor to the point of death, can it?
