I went deep into the cave, but there was no sign of a monster at all.
Well, shells are walking next to me as they should be.
It canât be helped.
Where did the escaped monster go?
You must be frightened in the cave.
In my fatherâs words, I imagined a monster trembling in the cave.
Moreover, I imagined that the monster that attacked me in the first cave was big and ferocious.
The appearance of it shrinking and trembling is a bit interesting.
Whatâs the matter?
Did you notice that I laughed when your father looked at me?
I imagined the monster trembling
âAh, I see. ⌠Shall we go check it out?â
ââ âWhat?â ââ
Arias-san and I were surprised to hear her voice echoing through the cave.
Iâm going to check it out.
You see the monster in fear, donât you?
Isnât that a bit of a bad hobby?
Besides, Ciel was with you when you went to see it, right?
Iâm going to take you to see whatâs causing it.
âNo, thatâs fine. Thatâs just pathetic.â
It was a monster, but I knew it.
I see? Well, are you familiar with Ivy, the frightened monster?
Huh?
Youâre not familiar with it, are you?
I mean, when did you meet a frightened monster⌠ah!
I had a good time with Shell, in the cave.
Certainly, the monsters were frightened of Shell.
It was a natural sight, so I completely forgot.
Whatâs that?
In the beginning, it seemed like she was going to see how she was with Ciel without noticing that she was frightened.
⌠well, that was a long time ago.
I donât do that kind of nasty stuff right now.
âWhat are you going to do now?â
Mr. Arias looks back at his father.
Letâs find a place to sleep.
Thatâs right.
I was going to stay today to get to know the cave.
So, whatâs important is where youâre going to sleep.
Arielus, what kind of place should I look?
Huh?
All of a sudden, youâre asking Mr. Aliras a question?
But thatâs a simple question, isnât it?
The conditions for sleeping in the cave were that it was off the main road leading into the cave to reduce the chance of encountering monsters, and that it was somewhat spacious considering what happened when the monsters attacked.
Well, itâs a place off the main road that leads to the deep end of the cave.
Why?
âTo avoid encountering monsters.â Also, if thereâs a little bit more space, itâs best. â
Way to go, thatâs right.
Spaciousness is also important, isnât it?
If the monsters attacked and were too narrow to fight, they would be killed.
But there are ways to fight in tight spaces, so itâs definitely not a bad idea.
âThe main road is the monster path.â To rest my body, I had to find a place that was not far from the monster. Lilia, why choose a little more space? â
Thatâs what we need to fight when monsters attack us.
I nodded to Liliaâs reply.
I got it right, too.
The only way to rest in the cave is to find a place where you wonât encounter monsters.
âThatâs right, fighting in tight spaces can be tough if youâre not used to it.â First of all, it would be best if there was enough space to fight as usual. â
Lilia was happy to hear your fatherâs correct answer.
Arielus-sanâs expression was also reassuring.
âOh, the road is split.â
Lilia points to the road a little way ahead.
Which one is better?
Lilia pointed the lights towards the back of the two roads.
âYou canât go left.â I want to stop at once. â
âItâs true.â
Iâm sorry to hear what Mr. Arielus said, Ms. Lilia.
But Iâm glad I knew it was a dead end.
After a few minutes of walking, I get tired of knowing itâs a dead end.
As I moved deeper into the cave, I could see many traces of dragging something on the ground and on the walls.
Besides, my father is leaning his neck.
Is that crazy?
I can see that Mr. Tanras is on the lookout for his father.
âOh, this trail looks like itâs been on the road lately, but itâs too many.â Besides, itâs on the ceiling. â
What, the ceiling?
When I looked up, I could see the marks in the dimness.
Moreover, there were a lot of marks instead of one or two.
âIf you dragged it, there wouldnât be any marks on the ceiling.â It could be some kind of trace of a monster. â
A trail of monsters.
No way?
âFather?â
Perhaps you could predict the monster, Father, who had a slightly troubled expression on his face.
What kind of monster is that?
âNo, Iâll wait and see how the cave is going and then Iâll give you an answer.â
I nodded, leaning my neck at my fatherâs behavior.
If itâs important, youâll tell me, so itâs okay, right?
âOh, the road is divided again.â Two more this time. â
Lilia turned the light to the back of the road happily.
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
âIt seems that both of them are leading into the back. Which is the main road?â
In response to Leahâs words, Arielus turned a light to the ground.
I found that the trail that your father cared about was concentrated on the right road.
Thereâs nothing on the left side of the road.
In response to Arielusâ words, Lilia looked at the road on the left strangely.
In this case, should we take the left road?
âAny sign of human passage?â
Mr. Tanras is checking the right and left roads.
âIsnât it better on the left?â Thereâs a lot of footprints on the right side of the road. â
I saw the part that was illuminated by the lights next to Mr. Tanras.
Besides the drag marks, there are traces of shoes.
I donât know if I have to look closely, but itâs definitely a trail of shoes.
Besides, there are a lot of them on the right road.
âIâll take the left road.â Please stay connected to the space, not to the end. Please! â
Leah prays and goes down the road on the left.
Arielus smiles bitterly at Liliaâs attitude.
But look carefully.
Mr. Tanras is secretly praying too.
After a short walk, the flow of air changed.
Mr. Arielus lights up the whole place with a strong light.
It wasnât that big, but it was big enough to fight even if the monsters attacked.
Isnât this place the right place?
Lilia looks at my dad like sheâs pissed off.
Father nods as he looks at the illuminated space.
Itâs fine here.
In response to his fatherâs words, Arias and the others looked happy.
âThe chance of encountering monsters would be low here, and the size would be ideal.â Well, thereâs no need to worry about monsters today. â
Of course, there are some of the strongest monsters.
âNyaaaaaaaaaaaaah!â
Shell liked the space, too.
Sora and the others are already jumping and playing, so it shouldnât be a problem.
Well then, letâs make a bed and exorcise the monsters⌠I donât need to move them today, but letâs just check where to put them.
To his words, Arielus and the others took out various things from the magic bag.
In the cave and in the forest, the most important thing was the exorcism.
I often heard that the monsters I had prepared were not moving and that they had attacked me and died in the square.
My father also told me to take good care of the monsters.
In my case, I was repeatedly warned to use the moving monster talisman first.
Well, I deserved it.
âIn the cave, monsters that are resistant to medicinal herbs used to kill monsters have been identified.â So even if youâre using a monster charm, be careful. â
Why are monsters resistant to medicinal herbs born?
Itâs not that easy to be resistant, is it?
Do you know that cave monsters originate from magic chunks in the cave somewhere?
Yeah.
Depending on the size of the magic chunk, the strength of the monster will change.
When the magic soul disappeared, the cave collapsed.
In other words, I think the magic soul is the life of the cave.
That magic soul absorbs the various things in the cave.
Absorption?
âIf you leave the talisman or throw away the medicinal herbs in the cave, the magic soul will absorb them.â And the monsters that were born right after absorbing it have resistance to medicinal herbs. â
That means itâs the adventurerâs fault that a resistant monster is born, right?
Iâm going to dump the garbage in the cave.
I donât think so.
It was said that it was basic to retrieve all the things that I had taken into the cave, but it was because the magic soul would absorb them all.
