126 Catch Chimera (1/2)
Kroki the Slayer
The Sanukila Desert, which surrounds the land of Gipsyal, is a place where the temperature reaches 50 to 60 degrees during the day.
For this reason, the people of Gypseal rest in the shady areas during the day when the temperature is high, and only go there when the sun begins to set.
After leaving the walls of the kingdom of Putaha, the landscape changes to a sea of sand after a while.
The setting sun shines on the sand and it is bright red.
The sandy wind is blowing.
It is a scene not seen in Nargol.
I was a little impressed.
Now, we head to the place where the chimera has appeared.
This is where the problem of how to get around comes into play.
In their former world, the most famous means of transportation in the desert was the camel.
The camel is the only animal that can travel long distances in the desert.
But for some reason, Gypsies don't seem to have any camels in their world.
He does not know if there are any camels in the world.
But even if there were, I don't know if they were imported to Gypsial as a means of desert transportation.
This is because Gypseal is located in the region of the Niall River basin, and riverboats are the most common means of transportation.
For the people of Gypseal, the desert is not a place to pass through.
Traveling traders also only travel a short distance from nearby city to city and never cross the desert.
Myself and Totona travel in huge chariots.
This huge chariot, pulled by a golem horse made by Orichalcong, was borrowed from the king of the Kingdom of Ptahkha.
The dwarven king graciously accepted Kepler's unreasonable request and loaned him this magical chariot.
The chariot is large enough for a king or other nobleman to ride in, or maybe even for me and Totona to ride in.
I'm sure you'll find that the magic wheels made by Orihalcon are very comfortable and comfortable to ride on, even on the sand.
But since we're only borrowing it, we can't go far.
We promised that we would only go as far as the chimera's location.
And after catching the chimera, we're going to head straight to Arnac.
By the way, the magic chariot will return unmanned when it's done, so there's no problem.
I'm not going to be able to get it right. It's not a good idea.
'What's up, Black? ....... No, Medjed.
Totoona almost calls herself Kroki, her real name, and hurriedly corrects herself.
I am now in the form of Mejed with a white cloth over my head.
If you don't get used to calling me Medjed soon, you'll find out who you are.
'Totoona. I've heard that the chimera has been haunting the area near the oasis, why is that? The chimera doesn't need much water, does it?
Chimairas that breathe fire out of their mouths and spit daylight are resistant to fire and can operate in the desert daylight.
And with the attribute of fire, a chimera shouldn't need much water.
'Medjed. It's true that chimairas don't need water. But those that feed on it need water. That's why they haunt the vicinity of the oasis.
I see. ......
He nodded at Tona's explanation.
'More importantly, Medjed. What's going on with you, squirming your hips from earlier?
Tona asks while piloting the chariot.
The magic horse is easy to pilot.
Even if it's the first time for her to ride in a chariot, she can handle it with no problem.
'No, Tona. It's no big deal. The loincloth seems to be loose, and it's about to fall off.
The clothing they were given had no underwear, and sometimes just a waistcoat wrapped underneath the white cloth.
In order to hide his identity from the scent-sensitive Gypseal people, he took off all the Nargol-made clothes he was wearing, washed himself well, and even sprinkled his body with Anis's perfume.
Anise is a first-class product used to remove the scent when making mammy.
I'm sure it will remove the smell.
But the problem is the clothes you got.
I have wrapped a white cloth around my waist just in case the cloth I'm wearing gets turned up.
The cord to hold the waistband on was loose.
It is my fault that I did not choose it well.
I wonder what I should do.
If I held it in place with my hands, it would be more difficult to move.
It's inevitable. I'll just take it off. ......
Muttering so that Tona can't hear me, I gently remove my waistband.
This means I'm wearing nothing but the white cloth that covers my entire body.
Your p*n*s dangles. It's a hell of a liberating feeling.
Why is this?
I feel liberated, not only in my lower body, but also in my mind.
Maybe this is spiritual growth?
This is exactly what it means to be skinned.
”Mmm-hmm.
I can't help but laugh.
'What's up, Medjed?'
Tona looks at me as she realizes her own mental growth.
'No, no! It's nothing, Tona!
Yeah?
He hurriedly faked a laugh, and Tona turned forward again
Tona! Under this white cloth. I'm actually naked~. Hee hee~. While thinking, I was swinging my hips.
.......
..........
.............
Dumbass - dumbass! What the hell are you thinking! By all accounts, you're a pervert!!!
I scream out in my mind.
I almost let myself go.
It's a hell of a release, sure, but if they find out that I'm naked underneath the white cloth, they'll treat me like a pervert.
This is why girls hate me for doing this.
I don't want to be hated even though I got to be friends with Tona.
I have to be careful.
”Huh?
This is not the time to do anything stupid.
I feel something strange up ahead.
'Tona! Someone's been attacked up ahead!
When I scream myself, Tona realizes that I'm screaming, too.
'Maybe the chimera is attacking us.
Tona will hurry the chariot.
We are still a long way from here.
However, I can clearly see those being attacked in my own eyes.
The attackers are one goat-headed beastman male and four human women.
The attackers are smaller than that.
There must be more than ten of them in number.
The sand-colored cloak on their heads obscured their appearance.
'Is that a sand demon? It's not a chimera. What do you do, Crocky: ....... No Medjed?
Totoona, who would have identified the attacker with her farsighted magic, asks herself.
I've heard about the sand demons.
The sand demons are a race of goblins, descendants of the goblins that migrated to the desert long ago.
And they, along with the Ghouls, are the disobedient to the gods of Gypseal.
The sand demons make a living by plundering the people of Gypseal.
Naturally, the dogs that protect the security of Gipsyll are trying to exterminate them, but the Sand Goblins are persistent and their numbers are increasing.
The sand demons are attacking travelers on giant sand rats.
In contrast, the travelers are on foot.
If you look closely, you can see a donkey lying on the ground over there.
They must have been taken by surprise. Bad luck.
The only reason they manage to survive on foot is probably to keep the women alive.
From the actions of the sand demons, we can read that.
This area is no different from the goblins in other areas.
''Of course we'll help! It would be better to help the people of Gypseal!
We may be able to gain the favor of the gods of Gypseal.
So we should help.
'All right. Black....... I'll defer to Medjed's decision.
Tona nodded.
'I'll precede you! Tona!
With that, I jump out of the tank.
I fly as fast as I can and head to the scene.
Wait-oooooooooooooooo... !!!!!!!!
When I reach it, I stand in front of the sand demon.
'What?! What is that? Are you a monster?
The goat-headed beastman sits back when he sees himself.
The women at his side are equally surprised.
The baby that one woman is holding begins to cry.
It's not a monster. You want to explain to her that she's not a monster, but there's no time for that.
'What? Alleluia? A freakin' monster?
The exact same line is said by the sand demon.
Does this figure look like a monster?
I think he's cute in the mirror.
At least Tona said she was funny and pretty.
'Klae! A freak!
The sand demon throws a stone axe.
Quickly, he strengthens the cloth he is wearing with magic.
Kakin! Kakin! And the stone axe falls to the sand with a light sound.
'Oh no! He played! What the hell was that?!
The young human girl exclaims.
'I don't understand! But it looks like they're here to help! But still, what a spectacle!
Apparently, the traveler has finally realized how great this Medjed suit is.
From now on, I'm going to surprise him even more from here.
