I watched the scenery passing by as we traversed in the forest.
There is no one else on the road.
[Touka-dono.]
[Yeah, it looks like it’s fine.]
We finally arrived at a forest trail.
There are two people sitting on each horse.
There’s also the weight of our luggage.
We can’t proceed through the road fast.
With the sounds of hooves stomping on the ground, we proceed through the forest trail.
Eve and Liz were ahead of us.
They seem to be chatting, though they were glancing here sometimes.
I decided to talk with Seras.
[About how much would we need to arrive in Demon Zone from here?]
[At this speed, I think we would arrive about a day and a half.]
[And if we try to detour around the castle?]
[If we were to detour around the Anti-Demon Battlefield located at the south of the Demon Zone, then we would be delayed for about half a day.]
The regions directly next to the Demon Zone.
Each country had a castles and forts placed on them.
However, we currently have to avoid them.
[Do we still have to watch out for other things in relation with the Demon Zone?]
I’ve already learnt some basic knowledge back in Monroy.
[It’s not verified information, but there’s still one thing we need to watch out for.]
[What is it?]
[It’s a unique monster called the Human-Faced.]
[Human-Faced? Is it some species of monsters?]
[They were mainly called as such because they’re monsters bearing a human face… but there were hardly any sightings making it harder to gather information about them. However, it is said that there are many Human-Faced living in the Demon Zone.]
[There’s hardly any information about seeing them, but it seems the existence of these monsters were acknowledged.]
[Yes. There is apparently a reason for the lack of sightings.]
Seras’ voice turns into a serious tone.
[It’s probably because almost all of those who witnessed them were killed.]
[So that’s how it is.]
Dead people don’t talk.
If they were dead, no one would be able to acquire any information about their sightings or any of the sh*t they’ve done.
[The details were quite obscure, but they were known as a ferocious monster. However, they wouldn’t come out towards more conspicuous places even though they carried the strength of a ferocious monster.]
[……………….]
Human-Faced.
Immediately, one thought quickly came into my mind.
The Soul Eater.
The monster waiting at the top layer of the Disposal Ruins.
Only that monster felt quite different compared to the other monsters.
So that’s how it is.
These Human-Faced must be his kin of the same race, huh.
Golden Demon Zone.
If monsters of that level were really inhabiting that area, then I can understand why that place is called a danger zone…
[Speaking of which, isn’t it said that Eve has stepped into the Demon Zone?]
Seras inquired.
[It seems so.]
[Is that the reason why you want her to be our comrade?]
[Well, yeah…]
That certainly was one of the reasons why I invited her.
[By the way Seras, how’s your talk with Liz? Did you get along well?]
[Yes… That girl is a very good girl.]
High Elf and Dark Elf.
I had an image that they would suddenly be in conflict with each other.
I was a bit worried about that but…
I’m quite relieved that there was no problem.
Seras looked towards the people riding in the front.
[However, is it really okay for that girl if we just proceed as is?]
[Yeah, we will bring that girl into the Demon Zone. Eve is willing to take her with us too, and that girl doesn’t want to be separated with Eve. Unless the person herself refuse to enter the Demon Zone, we would be entering the Demon Zone just as we planned.]
[Would it be alright though?]
[I also intend to protect her with all that I can. Besides, Eve and that girl would be taking us to the Witch of Taboos.]
As if she’s trying to stifle a laugh, Seras just smiles.
[As I thought, you’re really kind.]
[You and Eve both overestimate me too much.]
