Chapter 3 (1/2)

The 3rd Story: Pig and Moustache

“I ry…”

The next day

Beside me, Astarte complained with teary eyes

A huge bump appeared on her head

Afterwards, Astarte was taken back to the castle’s upper level by Sebastian

It see and a sermon

But in the end she still came here

This child didn’t reflect

“Vah…(Don’t mind)”

“What? Are you conforting me?”

“Ah…(I guess)”

“Un! Thank you”

Within the daily communication between me and Astarte, it’s a miracle that conversation is established for a short while

And consequently, her honorifics disappeared

It’s natural that I can understand Astarte’s speech, but the reverse is a

Of course, complicated conversations are impossible

What is possible at the very arten children

It seems she’s able to interpret my speech and read my emotions based on my actions and speech in past situations

This isn’t just ood likelihood of guessing it right

To read emotions from my eyeball-less, nose-less, and tooth-less face

In reality, doesn’t this child have a fairly good mind?

“Gah…(Is it alright for you to come today?)”

“Today? Otou-sama isn’t in the castle today So it’s okay”

Not here? What is this

“Otou-sah

Well looking at it froood secluding himself in this castle all the time

The typical standard is glooed

Beyond being a castle, I think it’s design looks like a dungeon froame

Staying in such a place for long makes you depressed

Anyone would become like that Even I became like that

Rather, I think Astarte should go outside more often

Wait, why isn’t the old man here?

“I don’t really understand, but it seereat people are made to “kon-veen-“”

Kon-veen-?

It should be “convene”

No matter which way, it was a talk I couldn’t understand the point of

There’s no feeling ofwildly and freely, but do des like class and society?

I i my head with a “pekopeko” (bow) like an ordinary company employee when the old man passes by

U~n…it’s somewhat unpleasant

It’s a request for my convenience, but I wish monsters would behave like monsters

I don’t want to see such worthless giving and taking in such a world

But there no

In the first place, I have nothe world outside this castle I have no interest too

“But because of this, he said today is very dangerous”

Dangerous?

In ay is soerous?

In such a creature covered monster house

“Usually Otou-saic barrier Thanks to that bad people can’t enter”

“Bad people”?

Haha

What on earth is this child saying with these de rampant in the castle

No uys

I would snort if my nose was like a huenerate, and it doesn’t have the function of respiration

Or rather I don’t need respiration itself for life activity

Why aht now

Don’t I feel the mysteries of life?

Even though I’m a corpse

“But because Otou-sath of the barrier is weakened quite a bit So getting attacked today is quite dangerous But it’s okay because Sebastian and everyone in the castle is here”

Fumu

Speaking of which, a “castle” nor enemies outside So there’s obviously non-huuys

Just what monsters are they

At thatsound resounded in my head

“Intruder Warning! Intruder Warning!”

“All of the castle’s soldiers should eliminate them!”

What is this

It’s directly resounding in my head

Intruders?

“Intruders! It can’t be!”

Astarte opened both her eyes in surprise

And she h
