Volume 7 - CH 2.3

Part 3

Some people came out from the forest.

He expected that they would be Dark Elves but……

What came out were kigurumis. Their heads were large, their limbs were short, and they had fat bodies where a person could probably fit inside.

Bear kigurumis possessing longbows, he couldn’t see them as anything but that.

──These are Dark Elves!? They couldn’t be a different race, could they? They’re greatly different from what I imagined.

The group with appearances that he ended up feeling anxious as to whether or not he could communicate with them turned towards them and readied their bows and arrows.

「Don’t move!」

A muffled voice was raised. It was a distant voice that seemed as if it was heard from a room next door.

So as he thought, it was a kigurumi.

Since it was a high-pitched voice, the person inside might be a young boy.

It seemed that conversation was possible, though the atmosphere wouldn’t say that it would be amicable……

Their number was about ten people.

「Fuhahaha! I am Diablo! I have an interest in the Ceremony Magic that has been passed down in these lands. In short, it means I have no business with you all. You should lead us to the location of the Dark Elves!」

*Zawa* The kigurumi bunch was stirred.

Maybe because they were already used to it, Rem breathed a sigh, and Shera made a wry smile.

Rose made a face as if to say that it was only natural.

Sylvie held her head in her hands. Even so, she did not step forward. If the kigurumi bunch fired their arrows, it wouldn’t be enough even if she had several lives.

Among the group of opponents, a kigurumi that stood at the lead (a grizzly bear) made an inquiry.
