Chapter 53 - Former S-class hunter stands in front of "Phantom Demon" (1/2)

Former S-class hunter stands in front of “Phantom Demon”

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ Pamela perspective ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Rir stopped.

She used to stop until we came here, but this time it’s something different.

Rir raised her face as if she had reached her destination.

What was in front of me was a cave where each person could barely enter.

There is nothing when I look around. “Nothing strange” -I could only see it in a cave where such a rhetoric would suit.

At that time, the demons and the Knights are coming late. we’ve been running all the way up to this point. Everyone is out of breath.

But it’s not without reason. Rather, it seemed to be even more swollen.

At the beginning was Prim.

“Meat uuuuuuuu …”

She keeps her eyes shining and makes a strange growl.

We were completely surrounded.

The monsters manipulated by Stardust Oaks were in a situation where they could attack at any time.

“that??”

The monsters don’t move.

The same was true for the Knights being manipulated and Prim.

Is there something in the cave? It’s hard to get close. I kept a certain distance and watched here.

“Rir, Pamela, you had a hard time.”

I react to Zelet’s voice. He stood behind the monsters.

The Knights and the Demon threaten Zelet with a murderous intention. It was a quick start, but Zelet never pulled out his cannon sword, and the monsters didn’t attack with their claws.

“I see. I was right. You can’t go wild here.”

Zelet passed between the monsters and joined us smoothly while being glared at by Annette.

It’s like a magic trick-no, it looks to me that Zelet is manipulating them.

“I’m glad that Zelet was safe.”

“You too, Pamela. I’m sorry. It seems that you were suspicious when you saw Rir’s movement.”

“Okay. I’m sorry …. Zelet, I believed her.”

Zelet’s hand is placed on my head.

When I was lightly stroked, it tickled a little.

“I don’t care. I did my best so far.”

“Yeah. Thank you. Compliment Kure.”

“Kyururu!”

When Kure appeared, it made a cute voice.

And Zelet stroked it too.

“By the way, why did the demons and the Knights suddenly stop attacking?”

“The answer is in this. Let’s go, Pamela.”

We let Rir stand in front of the cave as a guard dog, and Zelet and I enter the cave.

The inside is darker than I expected.

It was as dark as the night when the twinkling of the stars disappeared. Zelet created a torch using magic. Relying on that light, we move forward.

“Hya!”

When I was impressed, I slipped.

Zelet pulls my arm before falling. I made a light noise as it was, and my head fit in my childhood friend’s chest.

The feeling of Zelet, which I felt after a long time, is harder than it used to be. I’ve never touched it, but it’s like a dragon scale.

―――― What!

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Zelet !!”

I apologize to Zelet, with my eyes fluttering. I found my ears getting red, but I couldn’t hide them anymore.

“This is an unavoidable force. That–“

“four……”

Zelet doesn’t seem to be in a hurry.

It was lonely, but with a very serious face, he put his index finger on his lips.

“Pamela, big reactions are dangerous from here. If possible, don’t speak loudly.”

“What do you mean?”

I naturally hide my voice and ask.

Zelet leaves me and goes ahead. The reaction wasn’t very straightforward, but are you worried, or are you considering the existence behind us?

Zelet kept holding my hand.

However, the honeymoon lasted only 5 minutes.

What appeared before us was a large space.

It was a strange space. There is a hole in the ceiling, and outside light is shining in. If you say this, it is not so if you think that the space is full of light.

The moment we entered this space, the bright sunlight turned blue. Therefore, the space was filled with blue, and it seemed as if it was at the bottom of the sea.

“What is this mysterious space?”

“It’s eating light”

“Can it eat light?”

“Isn’t that strange? Even the three-necked Wyvern that was subdued before was ingesting the magical power in the thunder. If so, it shouldn’t be strange if there is a monster that ingests the magical power in the light.”

That’s right, so to speak. Apparently my thoughts tend towards the ecology of humans and animals.

No, that would be normal.

It is rare to think by standing on the side of a monster like Zelet.

But the question is who is eating the light.

I somehow knew it. There is only one reason why Zelet brought me so far.

There is Stardust Oaks …

It was spiritual.
