「G-GET AWAY！」
When I stretched my hand as I mutter「Wa―……」, she retreated while screaming.
That’s normal.
In the labyrinth, there’s no human who won’t raise their vigilance to a skeleton even if it has some flesh, but is raising a groaning voice, most likely none in this world either.
But, if you think it really carefully, you’ll find it’s strange that there’s a skeleton with some flesh in this labyrinth ≪Water and Moon Labyrinth≫ .
Now I’m a monster with a higher rank than Bone Man《Skeleton》, it usually won’t spawn in the hunting ground for iron rank adventurer
In case it’s appear, it might be because something is wrong when they’re climbing from lower floors, or special specimen which is hard to control with the rule of the labyrinth.
And then, whichever the case is, the strength of the me now is many times stronger than normal.
If a novice is suddenly running across such existence, it’s to the point that they must be prepared to die.
It was natural that she’s being vigilant.
Well then, maybe you will understand that if you’re suddenly approaching female adventurers while raising a groaning voice, though I say that, it wasn’t my intention.
Rather, I was about to greet her normally but, as I thought, I can’t do that yet with this body, it’s different when it’s of a normal battle but, it was truly hard to speak.
Regarding the way to move my body and the way to battle, I never miss my training since long time ago, to know what movement to do in any situation isn’t difficult, since I could understand the object whether it’s okay if I deal with it, and since the correction is also easy in early ranks.
But, when I think about it again, I have no skill in conversation, Things turned this way since it’s extremely difficult.
As a result, the voice became a groan such as “Wa―”, this already can’t be helped right.
In addition, bearing upon this kind of body, the first meeting with a human, moreover a girl at that, the shock was quite splendid when she’s screaming “get away” is also another mean.
It really doesn’t mean that I’m disgusting or something, but there’s no even need for me to pay attention to that since the reason was just because I’m a skeleton with flesh attached.
Maybe.
But, even if that’s the case, for me, I wanted some sort of communication.
That’s why I stopped according to the girl words, first I should make whatever my voice is to be heard.
「Wa-Wa—…………. G-Good myornyi~ng. I-Iyam L-Lyend. Lyendoー！ 」
「HIIIIIIIII！」
The girl’s raising her voice as if being frightened by me who suddenly started to speak incomprehensible words.
But, I won’t flinch with that.
Since I felt that it’s not a good thing to give up here.
For example, in case that I’m giving up, if I judged that it’s hopeless by this point, and then this girl is returning back to town.
Thereupon, if I must speak how it’ll become, a report will come to the Adventurer Guild called “a special monster has appeared in the labyrinth“, and then the powerful adventurers might be coming for me.
It’ll be a bad situation for me.
I, who experienced evolution after battle with various monsters, despite more or less becoming stronger, i’m still a lot weaker than humans and the likes, and might die.
***************************
It’s the end if those guys come in this situation.
That’s why I need to communicate with this girl one way or another.
I’m a human, though it doesn’t mean that I’m not gonna kill the girl, it’s more or less served as my last resort.
I don’t feel that I can do something like that.
Well, it’ll be a different case if she’s something like a criminal or a thief but, I get the feeling called “seeing a young adventurer trying her best to keep her life”.
I couldn’t get used to the cruelity of snatching away the future of this kind of people for my own sake.
That’s why I frantically speak to her.
「F-Fleaze~！ …….. F-Fleaze b-bear me…….. I-I-I k-kan’t getz ut」
I keep talking in this way for a short while.
Thereupon, the girl also came to listen to my voice, maybe because she thought it’s strange to the fact that I’m not rushing at her at all despite facing at each other.
「……？ What do you……Want to……Talk about？」
「T-That’z zo………… Iyam, Lend！ A-An adventUr……………ER……………」
As I thought, maybe because the other party has a misunderstanding, despite speaking bit by bit, even I get used to it.
The girl also came to the point as if grasping the meaning of my words to my voice that became clearer than the first time.
「………. Adventurer………. Adventurer, AH ARE YOU AN ADVENTURER！ Could it bethat you’re…………….. That………………. Adventurer？ 」
「YEaH！ Iyam-adventu-rer！ My NaMe ISH……….. Lend！ 」
「……Lend-san？」
「Lendo………… Len-d…………. Lento！」
「AH, LENT-SAN……」
After coming this far, even she was seemingly getting used to it.
Maybe this is bolder than what I thought.
Her weapon’s still in her grip but, she’s talking normally with me, a monster.
「Well then, I wonder why is………… That Lent-san…………. Having this kind of appearance？
「Y-You’re MisTaKen…….. I……………… DiEd………..」
