by Nilu — “Huh…?” When Zed couldn’t suppress the heat boiling inside him, Harto floundered in confusion, his mouth opening and closing soundlessly. “Was it a human you lived with?” “Huh? N-no… it’s not like that….” Harto only knew Ares Carseon in print. He had never met him, of course. Even the novel’s cover hadn’t had an illustration. All he knew of the protagonist’s appearance was that he was handsome, tall, and had golden hair and eyes. ‘Wait… did I ever say I lived…

by Nilu — The holy knight spoke in a cold voice that came from behind his silver helmet. “I will record your entry. State your name, place of origin, and purpose of visiting Belnock.” His tone was rigid, high-handed, and stripped of any softness. Harto, who had never experienced anything like this before, was frozen. Zed, who had said he would stay beside him, had already been called over by a priest, and the two were talking with serious faces. “Your name.” When there was no reply, the holy…

by Nilu — The two who left Lindel Village crossed through the forest and spent several days climbing the continuous ridgelines. They did that to avoid the areas where bandits were stationed. They avoided roads that people often used and deliberately chose rough terrain. They walked along narrow paths covered with thorn bushes, over rocks slick with thick moss, and through muddy trails soaked by rain. Naturally, Zed led the way, and Harto followed behind him with small steps. “Are you tired?” Zed reached…

by Nilu — “Madam.” His cold voice made Madam Mare flinch. A shiver ran down her spine, she wondered if the window had opened, but it was tightly closed. “That cabin should be left alone, just as the elder said.” “Ah… why, why…?” It was a warning. When Madam Mare swallowed and asked again, Zed spoke in a tone colder than ever before. “Humans were the ones who first brought monsters into this world. Do not forget that.” His eyes glimmered, and Madam Mare’s face turned pale. She…

by Nilu — Harto ate the meal that Zed brought with relish. He must have been very hungry, because he moved food into his mouth without a single pause for breath. His small hands continued moving, picking up the flatbread with colored beans, the stew of fried vegetables, and the dried fruits. Zed thought he would be disappointed that there was no meat, but Harto ate everything happily without complaining. ‘I should’ve brought more….’ Zed looked at the bowl that had been cleaned of every bit of…

by Nilu — “C-comrade…?” Harto was startled by the sudden voice. It wasn’t frightening at all, because the voices sounded like children. What confused him was that he couldn’t see anyone, yet so many voices came from somewhere. As Harto was confused, one voice shouted louder. “Huh… where? Here?” Harto lowered his head toward the sound. On the floor, within the scattered drops of water from his washing, tiny human shapes appeared. Since there were countless…

by Nilu — “This way.” When Zed asked if there was a place to stay for one night, Madam Mare guided him to an inn near the square. The first floor had a dining hall, and there were several rooms for lodging on the second floor. The innkeeper was an elderly woman. She had a hooked nose under small glasses, the tip of it red, and her droopy eyelids made her look like she were about to fall asleep. “Charlotte, you have a guest.” Madam Mare tapped the counter, and Charlotte immediately opened her…

by Nilu — During that brief silence, Zed and Madam Mare just blinked at each other. Zed broke the silence first. “Ha, hahaha… maybe because I climbed down the mountain, my stomach feels a bit… unwell…” Zed awkwardly grabbed his stomach and tried to escape the situation, and Madam Mare smiled softly. “You should have said so sooner. Come with me. There’s a restroom behind my shop.” “Yes. Thank you.” Zed followed Madam Mare, and the cat that had crawled out of the cloak tilted its…

by Nilu — Harto was snuggled against Zed’s back in his monster form. To make the villagers see him as a normal wanderer, Zed disguised Harto as a bag. Zed persuaded him that they were not going to stay in the village, and that since they would only pass through, he just needed to endure it for a short while. Harto had been flustered at first, but since it was only temporary, he decided to bear it. But as time passed, Harto started to feel how hard it was to stay hidden as a bag. “My stomach feels too…

by Nilu — “Hey, Zed.” Harto was climbing along the river stream toward the mountain, and he called out to Zed who was walking ahead of him. Zed slowed his steps so Harto could catch his breath, and he looked back. “Where can we go to meet Hartiros?” It could be a very shameless question, but he was curious where the well-known Hartiros was said to be. “Ruinebelt.” “Ruinebelt?” “Yes. It’s a small island at the far north. They say hundreds of years ago it had a civilization that…
