Chapter 367
At the same time when I activated the detection skill, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cried loudly .
[Hugging Bear-chan?] Shuri
[Yuna-oneesan!] Fina
[Yuna-san, are there monsters?!] Shia
Shuri looks at Hugging Bear .
Fina raised her voice and asked Shia, who remembered Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cried when the monsters appeared during the escort . The detection skill has the reaction of Volgrass . When Volgrass enters the detection skill, it goes straight to this side . Looking up at the sky, a blackbird appears and is orbiting the sky .
(TN: (ヴォルガラス) (vu~orugarasu?) Any suggestions?)
[That is……] Yuna
[Bird-san?] Fina
[Maybe a Volgrass?] Shia
Everyone is looking up at the sky like I am .
It’s as Shia mentioned, it’s a Volgrass . A monster that is one size larger than an eagle and has a red beak . There is a reaction of dozens of Volgrasses in the detection skill, and while watching the detection skill, it enters the detection skill one after another . The number of Volgrasses is increasing steadily .
From past experience, each Volgrass is not that strong . You can deal with it without any problem . However, the number is big . In addition, there’s Fina and others here, and the situation is different from when I fought back in the Elven Village .
That doesn’t mean I can’t take Fina and the others back to Mereera . If we escape to Mereera poorly, we may accidentally bring the Volgrass to the town . According to Kryna-Hark’s book, monsters are attracted to that sakura tree, but there is no guarantee that they will not chase after us . In the unlikely event that the Volgrasses were brought to Mereera and attacks the children playing in the sea, I could never forgive myself . That must absolutely be prevented .
A few Volgrasses came down to the sakura tree and started poking at the flowers . Are they eating it?
[Yuna-oneesan!] Fina
Looking at where Fina was pointing, there are seven-colored shining soap bubbles that appeared from the cherry blossoms . It spreads more and more . The big soap bubbles and small soap bubbles came out from various places .
[Beautiful . ] Fina
Fina and the others are fascinated by the fantastic sight, but it feels dangerous . I would like to confirm this phenomenon by looking at a book, but now I want to leave this place soon .
My premonition soon becomes a reality . The Volgrass that was perched on a tree got wrapped in soap bubbles . The Volgrass rampages for a moment, but becomes withered as if it’s life force was absorbed . Did it absorb its magical power? Or its physical strength? What is that soap bubble?
Soap bubbles captured the Volgrasses one after another . Then, when I thought that there was a noise from the hill, a soap bubble containing Volgrass was sucked into a large hole near the middle .
Was there a hole in that place?
When I look at the detection skill, the reaction from the Volgrasses in the hole disappears .
Perhaps that hole is a part of Targui’s body and it’s eating the Volgrasses?
[Yuna-oneechan!?] Shuri
[Yuna-oneesan . ] Fina
Shuri, who’s riding on Hugging Bear, looks uneasy .
[Anyway, we’re leaving . ] Yuna
There are many things I would like to confirm, but now I have to take these guys to a safe place . I escaped together with the three people riding on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear and went back to where the monument was .
When I checked with the detection skill, the Volgrasses are still gathering . And they keep disappears around the sakura tree . I think they were trapped by the soap bubbles I saw earlier and got sucked into the hole .
Perhaps it is a method of predation by Targui .
I took out a bear house from the bear box .
[Everyone, even monsters can’t easily attack inside the bear house, so get inside!] Yuna
You will not be attacked by the Volgrass inside the bear house . It’s the safest place on the island .
[Are we not escaping from the island?] Shia
[If the monsters come to Mereera, it will endanger the whole town, so we’ll wait for a while . It’s okay . I’ll protect the three of you, so don’t worry . ] Yuna
<<Ku u~u~n>>
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear cried as if objecting to my words .
[That’s right . We will protect the three of them . ] Yuna
Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear we’re happy when I corrected my statement .
[Yuna-san, me too . ] Shia
[No . Shia will follow my instructions . I’ll leave these two to you . Since you’re probably the eldest . ] Yuna
Shia nods a little when she looks at Fina and Shuri .
[I understand . ] Shia
When I opened the door of the bear house, Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear entered the bear house while carrying three people . This is the safest place for the time being . We will not be attacked suddenly .
[What was that soap bubble? And the hole that sucked in that soap bubble?] Shia
Shia asked, but no one here has the answer . But there is a book that has the answer .
[Swaying Bear, Hugging Bear . Tell me when the monsters are approaching . ] Yuna
When I ask Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, I spread Kryna-Hark’s book on the table .
