408 Chapter 360

My father died by the time he got to his heart.

My mother, who gave me wisdom about how to live in the forest, also died three years ago.

I was alone.

My mother told me that there seemed to be many people in this forest other than me, but now they're gone.

It seems that there is little survival from natural disasters.

Other people might have lived somewhere in the woods, but since I lost my mother, who was my only support, I decided to live alone.

I am strong.

My magic is a great beast of fire.

Big means strong.

That's why I was the strongest in this forest, and I won't lose to anyone.

I can live by myself.

From now on, forever...

"--- Eh, people in the woods like this...?"

I thought so, but I met Shia.

A woman with short ears who has stepped into the territory.

I was trying to intimidate you as a nuisance, and I had no choice but to be dumbfounded by the existence of a human being I had never seen other than my father and mother.

Looney is alone too...

I'm not alone. This is my territory.All of them here are mine. "

Awesome.

Shea was a mysterious human.

He taught me things that I didn't know, and made me eat delicious things that I had never eaten.

And I lived with Shia for days, and talked, and my days were changed.

It was my first feeling.

I never thought it would be so fun to exchange words.

Shia, do you want to go somewhere?

”... no. I really don't want to go anywhere.”

Shea's face looks bitter sometimes.

She won't tell me why, and even if I ask, Shia just laughs like she's in trouble.

I hated making Shia's troubled face suffer.

Well then, you can stay here!

"...... Thank you, Roone."

Shea strokes my head.

Remembering when I was with my mother, I close my eyes to Shea.

”Ah, uu, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"...... Shea"

"Uu... why am I... doing this...?"

Shea is always groaning.

She was holding her body, shivering and crying in the cold.

All I could do was sit by the trembling Shia.

Rabbit... help me...

……

I knew it was somebody's name, even if I wasn't smart enough.

It's not me, it's somebody.

Shea needs his help.

I was somewhat asexual and angry, and at night, I asked Shia about a guy named Wasato.

Who's Rabbit?

Shea looked as if she didn't want to be asked that question.

I didn't want to make you look like that.

He's the one who helped me.

Are you strong?

It's strong.

How?

When she heard that, Shia wrapped her arms around her like she was screaming.

"I wonder if I can say it in words......"

What does he look like??

Why do you care?

"Shia, you wanted to see me in your sleep."

"... eh!? Ah, eh, a lie!?"

So if I find it, I'll roar.

You can't roar!?

The one with black hair and white clothes.

That's all I remembered.

Shea wants to see you, so I'll let you meet her.

So I sleep as I always do with Shia.

― ― ― The next morning, Shia disappeared from her bed.

Shea's baggage is nothing.

All that is left is a packet full of food that I liked.

I was disturbed by Shea, who had vanished without saying anything.

I've been searching the woods, but I can't find Shia.

Shia, where have you been?

Is it my fault?

Are you gone because I'm a bad boy?

The tasty food doesn't taste good at all.

My fellow monsters looked at me depressed and worried, but they didn't feel any better.

But---that's when the same human as Shia set foot in my territory.

"Who are they?"

Same human as Shea.

A lot of them came into my turf.

I watched the monkeys chasing me from a distance.And my mother said, My eyes are very good, because it seems that I am drawing the blood of the tribe of Nafu.

The distant places are clearly visible, and so are the humans being chased by the monkeys.

”... nnh”

Most of them have horns and have the same skin color as me.

Some strange humans have ears and tails like animals.

It's running---,

"Black hair... white clothes...!"

That's him.

He's a rabbit...!!

"Looks completely weak..."

Shea looked weak, too.

But she didn't seem as strong as she said.

Thinking so, he grabbed the black human arm next to him ——— and threw it towards the monkeys.

"Eh!!?"

A black human who moves his limbs in a panic and is attacked by monkeys.

Unbelievable deeds cause me to leak a cracked voice from my throat.

"...... to help my companions.....?"

Shortly after, something ruptured in the green that was stuck by the black-haired guy, and the monkeys were blown away.

"W-what... oh..."

It was strange.

Without hesitation, I didn't even want to throw my companions into the herd and make them explode at the end of the sentence.

"Friends, but..."

I know that the relationship between the top and the bottom is important in the territory, but it is more important to say that you are a companion than that.

I have no more family.

But the same monster...... I had a friend I could follow as a nuisance.

That's why what that dark-haired man did was terrifying.

"Dangerous guy...!!"

Shea wasn't asking for help.

I was scared of him!!

Because of him, Shia is gone from before me!

Maybe he took Shia somewhere!!

"I'll get you, and I'll find out about Shia."

I decided to observe the rabbit first.

Neither monsters nor humans changed.

In hunting, we start by observing the prey.

——— He rained something green from the sky!?

●

Restraining the stunned girl to wrap herself in a cloak, I rendezvoused with my friends who were engaging with the monsters.

The monsters themselves had already been defeated, and I should have gone down the road as usual, but first I decided that I should listen to this mysterious girl---a dark magical girl with the characteristics of an elf and a demon tribe, and I decided to build a camp temporarily.

"You really don't want to attract the Dark Wizard."

"It's just a coincidence..."

Koga's head hurts when he sees a sleeping girl and says so.

"I'll tell you what, I'm not the kind of person who attracts Dark Wizards."Even though the demon king instigated me, it's just that I'm connected to the Dark Wizard after all. "

"Yes, Ussat is right." Korga, Wasato is not attracting Dark Wizards, he's just standing in a position that makes it easy to get caught up in a crime. "

"Amako, I think you're following me, but you're not doing it yet, are you?"

Depending on how you hear it, it's not worse than attracting the Dark Wizard.

Korga won't get away with it.

While slowly dropping her shoulders, she looked at Hannah and Nea, who were watching the girl up close and interestingly.

"I knew it was like a mixed race of elves and demons."It's quite small, but it has the horn of a demonic character. "

"At this age, it looks like you won't get any bigger."It's interesting to be a subhuman who builds his own living environment in the realm of monsters... mmm, that's interesting. "

Too much greed for both of us, but is that okay?

Is a girl as old as Amako?

The silver hair close to Ferm and Keira has a distinctive color mixed with green hair like a mesh, and the face looks strong just like the words and actions when fighting.

If you dare to name it, will you call it the Demonic Elf? The Dark Elf?

"There is a fictional race of dark elves in our world, but how about that?"

"What? What an interesting story."You'll have to tell me later. "

You don't have to say it like that... "

As usual, you're a knowledgeable lust, Nea.

Anyway, I was going to call it the Dark Elf as a temporary name.

For now, Rabbit should move out of sight when she wakes up.

"I think that's better."It's also troublesome to be in a situation like the one at the time of Linka. "

It reminds me of the time when Amaco's friend, Linca, attacked me by mistaking me for the person who took her.

At that time, it was hard to explain the situation, and first you have to explain that we are not enemies from the mouths of the amakos.

"In the meantime, will you look for something to eat?"I also confirmed that there is a river nearby...... Koga, lend me your counterpart "

“Fine, but what are you going to do?”

"Cast into the net"

"... I see."

"Koga is accepting the treatment of his dark magic..."

Hannah nodded with a fictitious eye.

No, it's quite convenient.

As I said, Koga lends me a copy of Dark Magic.

Nagi-san, can you come with me?

"Huh? Yeah."

I want to talk to Nagi-san too, so I'll ask her to follow me.

She travels with her to the nearby river to catch fish for food.

"I-Is this okay, Rabbit?"

"It's okay. I'll hold your hand, and Nagi-san will hold your legs... yes, then I'll deform and pull."

Me and Nagi-san stretched out the hands and legs of the Dark Magic Doppelgänger.

The stretched figure is transformed into a mesh shape as it is, and it is put into the river.

Okay, let's pull it together.

"I may be touching the mystery of dark magic right now..."

Me and Nagi-san take the net that deformed Koga's counterpart and wipe out the fish in the river.

Because it is only for today's food, it is more efficient than taking one fish at a time, although it lets go of the amount of fish that cannot be eaten.

Keira, who was in the cloak, shows her face when she sees several fish bouncing around the net.

"Wow, you're a big fisherman!"

"Keira, can you make the cloak into a bucket?"

I'll try!

Turn the cloak around and change the shape of the edges into a slightly larger barrel.

And after he had drowned the waters of the river, he cast down the fish that he had caught.

"Rabbit, aren't you doing too much for the Dark Wizard...?"

"This isn't me, Keira is amazing."

"Ehehe"

Keira was the only one who could handle dark magic so far.

I'm just manipulating it, so I want you to praise her.

"Okay, I can carry it as fresh as it is now."Let the others go... let's go. "

That's right.

Walk back to the camp with Nagi-san.

It looks like you were seeing that girl, Shea.

"Sounds like it." But where exactly is Shea Garmio headed? "

Does Nagi-san have any idea?

"Hmm. I wasn't so much involved in the monster realm before it was sealed."After all, I wonder if you're attracted to the demon king's power fragments? "

"I knew it..."

Rather, it's the only thing I can think of... "

It could be a dangerous condition.

"I think we should make contact soon, but if we get lost here, it will take even longer."Maybe you should wait for the girl to wake up and let her show you around the woods first. "

"... I see."

They may be familiar with the terrain.

I guess I'll have to clear up my misunderstanding first... but why did I suddenly strike with hostility?

Did you get hostile with a healing diffuser the other day...?

"Anyway, she's a valuable source."We have to talk about it so as not to stimulate it as much as possible. "

"Right. I'll leave it to Amako and Keira."

You're about the same age, and it'll be easier to decipher your vigilance.

When I returned to the camp while having such a conversation, I saw a black flame blowing up with the loud sound of me!!

Nagi-san

You're awake, aren't you?

You woke up earlier than I thought.

Well, I know Korga is there and I'm sure she'll be fine, but I think we should hurry.

●

Upon returning to the camp, the girl, who would have been rampaging in her bed, was quelled by Koga.

Well, although it is a dark magic similar to Korga, it is overwhelming in terms of its troublesome power, but it is rather a natural consequence because the army will rise to Korga.

Right now, I was interrogating a girl who had just caught a fish and was restrained to be wrapped in a dark magic cloak while skewering it.

"...... Hmph"

Puppy, a girl who looks away from me.

This is quite disliked.

With a bitter smile, I bend my gaze to match the girl.

"We're here to help Shea."

"Can you believe this guy? He's like you."

"... mmm. I was attacked by you, though."

Why did it twist so far?

I know what Shia told her about me, but... maybe she hated me?

"You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay."

"? I don't remember doing that..."

Hire a companion...?

I tilted my neck, and the Amako, Nea, and Hannah behind me came out.

"I think that a rabbit is a kind of person who wants to be more like a rabbit than a rabbit."

With healing magic and the ability of the ghetto body, this creature can make the opponent's stamina run out.

"And they normally rendezvous without incident." I understand. "

”In fact, that's what I used to be......”

Do you guys have it?

Is he my enemy?

Oh, shit.

After Nea, Amako, and Hannah, Keira came in and almost broke her heart.

The girl looks more puzzled by the excessive advocacy.

"I-I was doing it yesterday!" When the monkeys are chasing us.I ran away with my companions! "

"..... ah"

Are you referring to the time when Koga's counterpart was murdered?

It was so far away that you mistook me for an ally. [M]

"Hahaha, it's a misunderstanding.Koga, let me out. "

I see. I see.

Korga, who was just around the corner, created a Dark Magic Doppelgänger.

The girl's face turned pale when she saw the girl restraining herself, but she immediately stared at the figure and gave a happy expression.

"This guy, he was tortured yesterday."

"This is my magic."It's the same dark magic as you that creates another self. "

"... just like me? What do you mean?"

Don't you know the magic of darkness?

There is a good chance that I used it without knowing it, and I can handle it well because I don't know it.

"Well then, I was just wrong..."

Your misunderstanding has been cleared up... right?

The girl stared at the ground and began to weep.

Suddenly in tears, I took off the cloak that was holding the girl in a hurry.

"Um, uh, are you okay?"

"... I'm sorry"

Huh?

"My mother said she would apologize if she did something wrong. That's why I'm sorry."

She was only desperate.

... I have to apologize too.

"I'm sorry for my scary eyes."

"... ah, yeah..."

It's a short story, but I know she's worried about Shia.

Otherwise, you won't try to fight me until you're so desperate to kill a monster.

"Ugh... ugh... ghh..."

But I don't know what to say to a crying child.

I don't think you should simply comfort yourself, but I think you should wait here until you calm down.

Looking at the girl holding her knee and leaking her throat, thinking so, she suddenly noticed that Hannah was coming next to me.

Hannah-san?

"Usuato-kun and Koga-kun shouldn't be intimidated by child opponents."I'm an elder here, and I'll show her how much I can afford to grow up. "

"You've only changed three or four times over us...!"

Hannah pointed out Koga's breakthrough.

Well, I knew that Keira and Rum and Rosé were my favorite children...

"We're not angry, so we're fine."

Pettigrew, and as the girl's hand played Hannah's hand, she hardened like a stone.

Déjà vu.

The senpai who was trying to stroke Bullin had disappeared.

"Because the child is pure."

Oh, you know the one with the dirty heart.

“No, I'm sorry. I'm going to find an affordable stone, so I'm going to step aside.”

Hannah, who had a fixed smile on her face, stepped out of her seat.

Nea, who saw off her back, looked at me with a dazed look on her face.

"Useless. Hannah went looking for a stone to slaughter you. What do you do?"

"We're harder than the stone."

"... that's true, too."

"I think it's a little different to admit it there, Nea...!!"

Cannagi looks stiff, too.

"Hey, I'm a girl!!"

Well, I know it's a joke, so leave me alone.

"Hannah, you're pretty mentally weak..."

"First of all, I need to know this girl."...... Keira, can you do me a favor? "

Yes!

When I called Keira, she came out of her cloak.

Keira suddenly jumped out and the girl was upset.

"Ah!!? What are you!? Where did you come from!?"

"Nice to meet you! I'm Keira! Tell me your name!!"

"Why do I have to tell you my name!!"

Well then, what shall I call you?

”Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Unlike us, Keira's pure-eyed, wolfing little girl is close to her age.

With a little bit of sarcasm, she shouted loudly as she wrapped her mouth around her.

"I am Roone, named after my father and mother."
