Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～ Chapter 61 (1/2)

Negotiations

I need to organize my thoughts in order to answer the Telepathy which has been cast from the Great Orange Monkey.

Negotiations are not so likely to lead a reasonable solution.

From the beginning if the great orange monkey wanted a rational solution, they would have used the Telepathy from the start.

Still, the battle can't be avoided if both sides act on instinct.

I will only escape and abandoning the cave if that happened.

I am still piercing the throat of the orange monkey that is limp from eating the poison dried meat with my nail, a.s.sembling my thoughts, I cast the thought to the Great Orange Monkey.

[This fellow will die if left as it is, and only the Black Lizard’s〖detoxification〗can cure it. Think about this and let us go]

Staring at the Great Orange Monkey, I strongly pray.

There's not much reaction from the Great Orange Monkey. I’m anxious whether my thoughts is really transmitted or not.

Could it be that 〖Telepathy〗 only works one way?. If it is like that then I’m done for.

[Negotiation refused, once hostile we won't let go. Unless offer sacrifice, then may let go]

『コイツはこのままだと毒で死ぬが、黒蜥蜴なら〖解毒〗できる。その対価に俺達を見逃してくれ』

(the only reason i can think of is that the Boss is talking in gibberish, not to mention that some words that should be in Hiragana is in Katakana instead, thus confusing my translation app. so I'm trying my best to show that)

Contrary to my anxiety, a reply came.

Seeing the Great Orange Monkey, it seems like〖Telepathy〗are not only used to send thoughts, but it can also received other’s strong thoughts.

Although I’m relieved that 〖Telepathy〗 works both ways, the reply that came is not really desirable.

[If the Black Lizard die then so am I, I’m pretty confident that both sides will suffer]

It is not a bluff.

I'll attack them to draw their attention, the black lizard will roll in and sprinkles poison gas, so its pretty easy to kill each other.

[Weak KIHA strikeouts crack 朽Chihate ether, Sorega we Rano philosophy. I kill, Naganozanito Ritsumeta]

[弱キハ奪ワレ朽チ果テル、ソレガ我ラノ理念。我トテ親ヲ殺シ、長ノ座ニ登リツメタ]

(Its saying something about weak, and will kill if attacked)

……It’s useless.

Even now that I can communicate, its thoughts were completely that of monster.

It can not understand me clearly.

[W-wait! In that case ...... ]

[諄I. Magic Roh waste Dana]

[諄イ。魔力ノ無駄ダナ]

(no clue, something about magic power)

The telepathy is cut at the same time.

If that is the case, I can't get away from it who raise its speed by reinforcement magic.

Although I may win in term of speed if i use 〖Roll〗at maximum speed, given the orange monkey characteristic skill 〖Dexterity〗 and t.i.tle skill 〖Forest Acrobat〗, if I think about the loss of time having to curve and avoid obstacles, I’ll say it's fifty-fifty.

Is there anything I can do?

One word that can change the situation, is there such a magic word?

Should I offer them the dried meat?

No, then the reason for them to withdraw is gone.

The negotiation content from the〖Telepathy〗, the characteristic of the Great Orange Monkey that demands it, and the detailed information that I obtained from the monster.

After straining my thoughts, I give an offer to the Great Orange Monkey, half in resignation and half in desperation.
