Chapter 235: The Traveller
235 – The Traveller
Hibi, who’s walking in front, looks back at me. She closes her eyes and chants “Tei, Resu” in a quiet voice. That’s the same incantation she’s used for telepathy before. I don’t think it’s necessary for [Telepathy] though, so maybe it’s to raise her focus or something. Seeing as it’s not like she does it every time.
『There is the medical area. The traveller is inside.』
As expected, a message arrives from Hibi via [Telepathy]. I shrink down and hide in the shadow of a nearby building. Stretching out my neck, I look in the direction of the medical area. There’s some open space between it and the other buildings.
Probably, that’s where the manticore is. Once everyone’s left, I’ll rush closer and check whoever’s inside. If they’re a monster, then before they can resist, I’ll destroy them along with the building. That’s the most I can do to limit the collateral damage. As for the other Lithovar people, I’ll just have to convince them by showing them the manticore’s corpse. The more time I waste thinking about unnecessary things, the longer the manticore has to work out what’s happening.
I’ll settle it in an instant. In terms of average stats, I am superior.
From the medical area, I see a child missing a leg being carried out on the back of an adult. I look away reflexively. Right next to this village there’s a forest filled with dangerous monsters. Things like that are bound to happen.
Everyone should be done evacuating by now, I think. Gozu should be coming to tell us any second now…
“Dragon-god-sama! Dragon-god-sama is in the village! Hibi-sama, whyever did you not tell us! Th-this being the case, right away I must let the others…”
