Izek looked at him blankly. He wanted to talk to him first unlike his younger brother, Andymion.
"I just found a suspicious woman in District C. She looks like a poacher... "
"The poachers are roaming around in this season?"
"She was unconscious. I don't know if her friends left her or what. Anyway, I woke her up and she's talking nonsense."
"What nonsense?"
"I don't know. It sounds like gibberish, but it's also a little weird. She mentioned seeing a big raccoon, the raccoon ate her colleagues. And, a Griffin who was playing with a blonde witch... would you like to take a look?"
—-
"Wow, a good harvest."
Taking advantage of the brief pause in the pouring rain, a forest with hazelnut trees and raspberry bushes came into view.
While Popo and I were diligently collecting fruits, Griffin sat in the bushes and ripped off a chunk of meat that he had brought as its lunch box.
"Look, who are they?"
"Po, po, po."
"Are they your friends? Hello?"
As I waved my hand warmly, the monster shyly swung behind the tree... must be another raccoon monster, but it still waved its arms. While staying here for a few days, my friend circle seemed to have gotten bigger.
I walked barefoot since I lost my shoes, but I'd gotten quite used to it too.
Still, I was really surprised when a basilisk with a big apple popped out of the bushes.
For your information, the apple was very delicious. Popo and Griffin were stuck next to me except for a brief time, and other monsters also alternatively pestered us. It was funny, but it felt like the monsters had come on hearing rumours about me.
And the hypothesis that Popo was unusual or that I was unusual, was later confirmed. Rudbeckia in the original book had this ability, but it was unclear whether no one knew or if something happened when my soul entered her.
It was dangerous from what I'd seen so far. They were more docile to me, and I didn't feel any threat or fear. Although Popo seemed worried that I might be scared when I saw him gulping people. I just closed my eyes and turned my head, so I compromised by pretending I didn't see.
It didn't occur to me that it was horrible.
Popo was definitely a monster, and they illegally hunted and sold monsters.
They were poachers.
Just like wild predators, it was impossible to hold onto human standards.
So I just turned away while Popo gulped down both men. The girl fainted, but I don't know what happened after Griffin took her out. Even if Griffin had shown mercy, it would have been difficult to get out of this flood alone.
"Let's pick them up and go back to the cave. It looks like it's going to rain again soon."
"Po."
Popo rocked his body back and forth, but Griffin puffed up and snorted. Its attitude said that the rain was nothing.
Of course, the reason why I quickly went back to the cave was because of what the poachers said before they died. There were a lot of Paladins around, and they wouldn't come to this cave... because of the lizard cub that lived here or something?
