Chapter 6: That Being
[Guge]
It was clear that the creature was a child.
Short limbs, a small body, a protruding belly, and a large head.
Though it was unclear what kind of creature it was, it carried an unstable, immature aura.
In some ways, it resembled a human infant—but there was not even a trace of cuteness to be found.
Distorted, eerie, and repulsive.
What welled up from the depths of Diz chest was not a desire to protect, but pure disgust.… Read more
──Kill her.
A short declaration. Unable to breathe, Rose’s consciousness plunged into darkness.
The smiling faces of her deceased parents flashed in her mind.
Ah, I’m sorry. I couldn’t recover your keepsakes in the end.
Even that apology was swallowed by the darkness. Her life was about to be snuffed out──or so it should have been.
“……Guh!?”
Suddenly, the grip on her neck loosened, and her consciousness surged back.
“……Gah!!… Read more
“Nina!”
“Laura!”
The woman who seemed to be her partner arrived at the place where Ur had managed to rescue the hostage.
Seeing Shizuku accompanying her, it seemed the rescue had been successful. Her appearance was quite rough, but she didn’t seem to be injured.
“Can you move!?”
“Y, yes. I was saved. And the healing potion……!”
“Sir Ur, you were reckless.”
It seemed they had witnessed him jumping off the rooftop.… Read more
“──Let’s run”
Faced with the sight of his comrades being torn apart by the undead, Randa made an immediate decision.
“Eh, but we have to help──”
“Idiot! There’s no way we can save them! Let’s go to the warehouse!!”
He kicked away the comrade who was still spouting nonsense. Only a handful of his comrades remained.
They had been relying on the undead soldiers, but their numbers weren’t that large. The intruder kids had targeted them precisely.… Read more
Luckily, Nina found her partner, Laura, right next to the room she was in.
Unfortunately, it was clear that Laura was in a weakened state.
Using the key she had taken from the bandits she had just killed, Nina opened the door and checked on Laura. She was also injured. Blood was seeping through her clothes, and her face was pale. Nina frowned.
“You’re not okay, are you……? Can you hold on……!?”
“I’m… fine……”
“Stay still, I’ll definitely save you……!”… Read more
Nina hated children.
They were selfish, noisy, and thoughtless. They had no qualms about touching the ears of beastmen like Gaul, which was a clear breach of manners.
She especially hated child adventurers.
They didn’t listen, were overconfident without reason, and acted like they knew everything while causing trouble for everyone around them.
When fellow adventurers would say, “You must’ve been like that at their age,” Nina would retort that when she was a child, there were no adults around to clean up her messes.… Read more
“Take this!!”
[ｋ!?]
He threw it. The stone, hurled with force, cut through the air—but it veered slightly above the giant bat.
“Missed…!”
He had known it would be difficult. It was unreasonable to expect to hit a moving target on his first try, especially in such darkness. If only he had time to practice, but of course, that wasn’t an option.
The giant bat’s figure quickly disappeared into the dark night.
“Throwing wasn’t a bad choice.… Read more
“Lady Diz. The knight brigade is preparing for departure as well. However…”
Kona, who had just stepped down from the carriage, bowed her head apologetically toward Diz. Diz shook his head, saying, “I know.”
“It’s not going to make it in time, right? That’s fine. Just make sure the preparations are done in a way that’s visible.”
“The necromancers are watching?”
“They probably have something like 【Far Sight】. That’s why we’re acting as decoys.”… Read more
After what felt like both a long and short void of unconsciousness…
“Wake up, Niitan!”
“…Good morning.”
Ur was jolted awake by Akane, who was fluttering around in her fairy form. Normally, being forcefully woken from a deep sleep would be exhausting, but this time, he woke up easily and refreshed.
“…How long was I out?”
“Exactly two hours. I just woke up too.”
Diz was still in the middle of getting ready.… Read more
And so, Diz’s instruction on 【Meditative Sleep】 began—
“Hey.”
“What?”
“What’s wrong?”
“I understand the logic, but why do we have to be this close…!?”
—Ur was already on the verge of breaking down.
Right now, they were lying on the bed. Ur and Shizuku were side by side, while Diz was practically on top of them, leaning over. The three of them were almost completely pressed together, and they were all in their underwear, half-naked.… Read more
