Chapter 19 (1/2)
Konjiki no Wordmaster Chapter 19: Encounter: a Unique Monster
At that time, just as the other two had suspected, Hiiro was on top of a nearby hill Fro discovered
In truth, he had been forced to land on top of the bridge Going at his slow pace, it cost way too et all the way to the other side
There were a nue when he landed Hiiro was forced to cover his entire body in his red robe to conceal his identity, and run for cover However the Beast People on the bridge just thought that he was a flying de for food, so they paid him no mind
(This bridge is way too long Just how far does it run…)
Unlike in ga long distances, it will drop quite a bit However is also recovers slowly if you rest
The Beastreen
The main difference between this one and the Human one was the amount of untamed wildlife Of course, the huetation and mountainous environments as well
However, here in the soil and the forests; in the lakes and rivers, the surrounding wildlife had y
(So each continent has its own merits)
Thepoint of the hu and trading; import and export It was a land of business
(I wonder what the Evila continent has… I guess I’ll have to see it with my own eyes sooner or later)
(TL: Evila, written as/ demon, read as Evila)
As I think this, a carriage stops in front of me From it comes a man who seems to be a peddler Of course, he’s a beastman
(This is bad… I can’t be found out here)
Arnold said that unlike the human continent, this was a land where you could be randomly assaulted out of the blue A war-ridden country There’s a possibility of being attacked just because of one being from the Human race
If that happens I don’t plan on losing, but I can’t cause a coet separated froet more information out of him
(… I just thought of so)
I write a character ona certain person had
“What are you doing here? Do you need a ride?”
In response to the man’s frank questions, Hiiro takes off his hood
“Oh, you have some splendid ears there!”
The man smiles happily
“I apologize My companions should be here soon Thanks for the concern, but don’t mind me”
“Oh? I see I wish you safe travels”
And the e
(I soh it But that beastman was quite amiable)
I touch the ears that had sprung up on my head They’re quite soft to the touch But the ears weren’t the only thing that changed Hiiro’s hair had changed to a silver color It was the same color as Muir’s
Using his 《Word Magic》 and holding an ie of Muir’s race in mind, Hiiro had written 『Copy』 on his body However if he had been thinking of Muir herself then his facial structure would have been greatly altered and it would be hard to balance, so he tried to i else However he had only ever met 2 Beastmen in his life
Hiiro’s psych would not be able to handle turning into an Oldof Muir’s race
And here marked the birth of a silver haired, bespectacled boy The words only changed the basic qualities of its target, so the effects remained over time Hiiro would have to write 『Return』 to turn back
(It’s weird to have a tail My body feels oddly light, and )
After waiting for a while, the other two finally got here They were able to locate me by my red robe But then…
“What’s with that haaaaaaiiiir!”
I had expected this to happen Even Muir lets out a sound
“Now then, let’s depart”
“Oy, wait, wait, wait! Why the hell are you acting like nothing’s off!? There’s ht now! ”
“As always, you’re being quite fussy Just be quiet for a bit, like that shorty over there”
“Muir is in too much shock to speak! Just explain yourself! Why is your hair the same color as my beloved Muir’s!?”
And so I began explaining against my will Muir stares at me in excitement She touches her own hair and stares at my ears
“For you to be able to do so like that… How broken are you?”
“Koku Koku”
I’ with these two I let out a yawn I had set out early today so there would be few people to witness me, so I want to sleep
“Well, it’s not like I’ed”
“Hm? So your physical abilities are still human?”
“Pretty much”
“I see, but still, your ”
The two seehs
“Anyways, where e be heading from here?”
As Hiiro asks, Arnold points his finger
“If we head due west froam】”
“What sort of place is that?”
“It’s a town of the 『Bearnt』 clan”
(TL: Written as Bear People, read as Bearnt)
(『Bearnt』 I read about them in an encyclopedia Apparently they’re quite a peaceful race, unlike bears)
In the hu the books stored at the guild
“Well, the 『Bearnt』 are gentle folk, I don’t think you’ll be attacked even if you’re found out”
So the information I attained was correct
“Also the honey they produce is said to be quite a delicacy”
“Ho? I’ll look forward to it”
“Yeah”
“What? The shorty’s never been there?”
Muir’s reaction is similar to my own, so It can be concluded she has never been to that village
“Y-yes T-the truth is, well…”
It seems to be difficult to say, but I can sense that she believes that it is so she has to mention But Hiiro waves his hands
“Ah, if you don’t want to say it, you don’t have to”
“Eh?”
Muir stares blankly at Hiiro Arnold follows in suit
“I have no interest in you people’s past, so there’s no reason to force yourselves to tell ”
“… T-that’s not it, but…”
Arnold looks towards the sad Muir, and tries to say sohten the atmosphere
“As long as Hiiro’s fine with it, I guess we can leave it at that, Muir!”
