Medusa of the Demon Beast Forest: Part 1

——Half a year ago

Inside the forest

The old western style house is wrapped in a gentle pale light

The early sureen leaves and tickles the nose

Sitting in the chair by theis a drowsy girl yawning after taking a nap

With perfect white hair, the girl is about 13 years of age

With a height of 140 centimeters, her body is wrapped in a white, one-piece dress And, for so a red cloth as a blindfold around her head

She stands up and goes towards theAlthough blindfolded, there is no hesitation in her steps

And, while barefooted, she steps forwards onto the terrace

Then, she sees a kitten snuggled up around itself and sleeping in the corner

While chucking, the girl says

[………For you to sleep in such a place…I guess that recklessness is your good point]

The kitten which noticed the girl snuggles up to her feet and rubs her knee with its head

[………Did you lose sight of your parent……]

The kitten is held up in her arms her mouth distorts as she worries

[…To not be afraid of me………that’s 0 points as a wild animal]

The kitten which didn’t knohat is being said innocently licks the girl’s cheek

[…Yep…caution is completely zero……it seems most likely you will be eaten by an enemy outside the moment you are thrown out……]

With a sigh, she scratches the blindfold on her forehead with her fingertips

[……You are the 12th huh…it can’t be helped]

Hearing those words, The kitten cries joyfully

[……Toyou guys, is ?]

The girl puts the cat down and heads towards the food storage below

Indeed, there should be a little ic left It’s a must to offer food to a new housemate

Due to the blindfold, the loss of visibility is irrelevant to her While going down the stairs like any ordinary person, she mutters to herself

[……When my eyes are seen……you will become stone……they never understand that……Those children……]

———Suberu the dedo the country name)

As a relay point with the Tudor ee inn town at the boundary of the border

On the side road about 3 km south from the main road

Thereupon, within 30 , the road is connected to the deht)

A huge European-style building of about 30,000 square meters in the site area is seen

The witch of demon beast forest

Medusa—Anastasia Sere, resides within that mansion

——Anastasia’s whole fa to neither the human army nor the demon army

The only thing which belongs to that Demon family——is the special ability of petrification by eye contact,it impossible for them to have a social life

Their pure fighting ability is within the lower- demons

In the case of norhts

However, in the case that the other person was a High-class demon, it would be different; it would need to make eye contact to be petrified

The effect when eyes are met is tremendous For example, even if the other person was the Demon Lord, they would still be turned to stone

Though, if the person was demon lord class, it could just easily kill her

There are a lot of methods to avoid eye contact after all

However, the fight between the h rank demons didn’t happen for over a thousand years

The reason why is, the personality of her faentle itself, they are fundamentally harmless unless provoked

However, the ability to kill the demon lord in one blow couldn’t be left unchecked

For that reason, long ago, an agreement was brokered between the blood relatives of the demon lord and the Medusas

Froiven the title of ‘noble’ and got financial support

But, the fact is that they were actually retired to a remote territory

——-Thus, we arrive at the present witch’s European-style house built in the demon beast forest

Now, then, it is the matter of Anastasia

All over, flowers are planted in the garden of her European-style building It has becoarden

Gardening in the h the scale is too big——-Finished gardening, she treated herself to afternoon tea in the special seat established in the flowerbed

Softly and gently, the blindfold is removed

The view of the flower garden spreads out

While enjoying the herbal tea, she looks at the pale pink colored Margaret

The only things she can adanic matter

Although a friendly relationshi+p is established with the cats kept in the mansion……To communicate with them, a filter, the blindfold, must be used without exception

That’s how it is

Only plants can be engaged in conversation with the “Naked eye”

Talking with the plants……Itheard

However, for exa well What do you do?

If Anastasia’s approach to plants rong, how else could she e flower bloom?

Like that, Anastasia thought that talking to theht work

And thus——-The workmanshi+p of this year’s early suly narrows her eyes

Then shethe blindfold in hand

While wrapping the red cloth around her head, her mouth opens

[……That’s why, you guys………I told you ht?]

Blaainst heroine’s foot

[Myaa?]

The Calico catlooks into Anastasia’s face with round eyes

On the other hand, Anastasia, while s but pat its head

—–Why my Mother kept a lot of birds before I was born…I think I can understand now

Mother died It was very lonely for a while

Even though it was enjoyable to raise flowers……with that alone…It is still lonely

As long as she herself is a living being in possession of intellect who coe, then it is assumed that she is a member of a type of community, and is composed of a body and a mind(TL Note: thanks to a friend)

——Well…even if I say a coht, occasionally in fact with someone……Like what I did with my mother……I think that I want to chat

Anastasia lowers the cat in place

[……I understand You’re hungry right?I’ll make some rice]

Indeed, Anastasia thinks that such a life isn’t bad

Her heart is always cal surrounded by flowers and 12 cats

Once in a while, a naughty cat gets in the flowerbed and da her have to punish it, however…

She would only nod and say

[……I auys]

In response to the word “rice,” the cat follows her

Just when Anastasia went to pick up the cat, it started running full power towards the mansion

—-A Human presence was felt

Judging from the presence, it’s probably a boy in his late teens
