The second day after losing the carriage──
Shera let out a pathetic voice.
「It’s no goodー……It’s so hazy that I can’t see into the distance.」
It was raining.
She had her Summoned Beast, 《Turkey Shot》, fly up and she could see Diablo from the sky, but let alone Caliture City, she couldn’t find even a small settlement or road.
It was nothing but a mountain covered in trees.
It might be different if the weather cleared up and the visibility could go off into the distance though
Rem spoke sounding bitter.
「……There is the possibility that we continued off in the completely wrong direction.」
「Ehー!?」
Shera raised a voice that sounded like she would cry.
「……After fighting against the Spriggan (iron giant), we had intended on continuing down the original main road, but by some chance, maybe we went down a different road……or maybe, we simply didn’t notice that we diverged from it.」
Certainly, the path became narrower the more they continued down it, so it felt like they were going down an animal trail. If they continued down it with a carriage, they would have ended up getting stuck.
「Rem, it’s your hometown, right?」
「……Sorry. I was ten years old when I left Caliture, and moreover, it was on a caravan carriage.」
「So you don’t rememberー」
「……It’s because I was asleep most of the time.」
「Ah, that’s right. Rem, you’re weak with vehicles, weren’t you.」
Diablo shrugged his shoulders.
「Once things clear up, we might be able to see something. There’s no choice but to wait for a while.」
「……That’s true.」
It looked like he, who possessed a tough body, and Rem, who was used to adventures, didn’t have a problem.
However, Shera was trembling.
「Uuu……It’s so coldー」
「……It’s probably because we didn’t bring outfits to keep out the cold since the South is so warm.」
It was also the winter season.
Since it was raining, the atmospheric temperature had unexpectedly lowered.
「I’m hungryー」
「……Unfortunately, both our food and water are at the bottom of the valley together with the carriage. Putting aside having drinking water if we gather up the rain water, Shera, wouldn’t you be able to get some fruits from the trees?」
「I’m asking them, but since they are busy drinking water on rainy days, it’s hard to get them to listen. Plus, it’s not like there’s nothing but nice trees.」
「……So it doesn’t always work out so conveniently.」
「It’s not like they have Elves looking after them like in the Greenwood Kingdom’s forest after all.」
Going “Mu?”, Diablo looked up.
*Suru suru* Something came falling down.
It was a bright red fruit.
It resembled a tomato.
──This kind of fruit didn’t appear in the game.
Shera’s eyes shone.
「Waa～～～, you’re giving it to us!? Thank you!」
Rem made a wry smile.
「……Looks like it does work out conveniently. As usual, isn’t the world spoiling the Elves a bit too much?」
「That isn’t the case at allー. Even I’m doing my best after all.」
Shera extended her hand to the red fruit.
「Eat, don’t!」
There was a shout.
At the same time, *hyu*, there was the sound of cutting the air.
What came flying, was a small rock.
The bright red fruit broke. Making a damp sound, the red fruit scattered about on the wet ground.
Shera raised a scream.
「Ah～～～!? How could you do that!?」
「Was it a wild animal!?」
Rem put herself on guard.
Diablo also took out his Magic Staff.
「Who’s there!?」
Among the trees of the forest──
There was the figure of a young girl.
She had the appearance as if only having a cloth wrapped around her naked body.
Diablo felt like he was going to reflexively avert his eyes.
「Na, nake……ah, no……」
No matter what kind of appearance she has, by some chance, she might be an enemy.
Being negligent was forbidden.
That young girl had light brown hair, and her pointed ears stood straight up. Since they were dog-like ears, it seemed like she was a Dwarf, but her height wasn’t short, nor was her chest huge. And then, she had two large tails that looked like she could sit on them like they were cushions.
They looked like fox ears and fox tails. That sort of Dwarf didn’t exist.
On top of that, the look in her eyes was different from the atmosphere that the Races had.
Suddenly, he remembered.
About the young ladies that were at the Monster Girl Soapland that he went to in the royal capital……
「Could it be……are you of the Beastman race?」
Hearing Diablo’s words, the young fox-eared girl gasped.
「You, understand, said!?」
Her speech was a bit broken, but it wasn’t hard to talk with her.
「Isn’t that obvious? Answer me──Why did you break the fruit? Or could it be that you aimed at Shera and missed?」
「Wrong! Corpse Tree, red fruit, eat, absolutely can’t! Poison!」
「Did you say poison!?」
「One bite, die, rot and Corpse Tree, grow.」
So the tree that gave them the red fruit was called a Corpse Tree, had animals eat deadly poison strong enough have them die in one bite, and would then turn those corpses into nourishment.
Diablo turned his gaze to the tree in front of him.
This standing tree that had nothing unusual about it, he now saw it like it was some kind of monster.
「So it would seem that you saved us.」
「Me, Feneri. You, who? Why, Race, say, understand?」
It seemed that the young fox-eared Beastman race girl was named Feneri.
「Hmph……It’s only natural that I would at least understand your words! I am a Demon King that came from another world after all!」
「Demon King!?」
Feneri opened her eyes wide in surprise.
As if resolving herself, Rem cut into the conversation.
「Diablo! Could it be, are you able to understand what that wild animal is saying!?」
「Eh? Ah, of course. Certainly, it is a bit broken……but it’s not like we can’t get the meaning out of it, right?」
Shera shook her head sideways.
「It’s only barking kun kun, you know?」
Diablo once again looked over at Feneri.
「You can talk, right?」
She displayed an expression of bewilderment.
『What Feneri say, Races, don’t understand. You, only.』
In the end, Diablo acted as the interpreter, and they exchanged information with each other.
Going “Fumu fumu”, Rem nodded.
For the time being, it seemed that they understood the reason why she pulverized the fruit with a small rock.
「……To think there was such a plant.」
Even if it was the land of her hometown, there was no way she would know about all of its flora and fauna. Looking closely, around the fruits that had fallen to the ground, the carcasses of small insects had increased.
So it was deadly poisonous.
Shera trembled.
「Uwaa～n, thank you! That was a close oneー」
「She seems to be grateful to you.」
After Diablo reported that, Feneri nodded.
『Feneri, Elf, hate, don’t.』
「It seems that she saved you because you’re an Elf.」
After acting as the interpreter like that, in their small conversation, it seemed that they got along quite well.
She invited them to her village.
『Food, bit, have. You, follow.』
Rem was cautious, but even if it were a trap, it would be fine if he just crushed them.
More importantly, they might get them to share some food with them.
Also, she said that she knew where the town of the Races was. Unfortunately, it seemed to be pretty far though……
Diablo’s group followed after Feneri, who possessed splendid tails, and headed to the village of the Beastman race.
