Chapter 23 Part3 (2/2)
”Like he feared, the hand randfather, already half crazy froht, immediately stripped off his leather armor And as he did that… ”
Alexei's eyes seemed lifeless
”At the back of the armor, those hand marks appeared one after another Peta peta peta, peta peta peta peta… ” (ED Note: Peta peta is the sound for the sticky sound the hands made on the armor)
” … ”
”My old … If his whole body had gotten covered with those hand marks, he doesn't knoould've ended up”
A sprig in the bonfire exploded loudly
” Is… is that really what happened… ?”
Edda stuttered, her voice trailing off Alexei sirave nod
”It's not like the rest of the story isn't true, but if anything, the handas ht back the rope and leather armor with him”
”Eeeh?”
”He was so nervous about it that he'd thought about throwing it away many tirandfather had reluctantly kept it There was also a ti on his way back but… That's a story for another tih already!”
Edda shook her head about with a crying face
”Well… that's why the De to mess with Half of those who step in don't return and even of those that do coenuinely unworldly … ”
Alexei shi+vered as he continued
”That's why I will never go into that fog, noin this world, what am I supposed to do… it's scary And that's all Rather, how did the conversation end up here anyway?
”The fog… you said soht!”
To Heide the discussion back on track, Alexei playfully slapped his knees and replied in a cheerful voice, as if to erase any trace of the discussion that just occurred
”Well, it is the De about it is that the monsters inside can't come out In other words, whatever coend, there are strangers who appear fro it Soot lost in the forest and wound up near our tribe… ”
”Where they the ones who left behind the song you sang?”
”That's right Well, that is, if you believe the legends They're rather old, and I don't know if they're true… ”
The youngthe type of person to not believe in anything until he's seen it
”… Well, that's why ojou-chan, it's better that you go to sleep soon”
Alexei addressed Edda with a bitter smile, who had been quiet for some time now
”Obachan… ”
Edda turned to Heide on the sleeve of her robe
”Alright, alright We can sleep together tonight”
”Un… ”
”Hahaha, good girls should go to sleep now Don't worry Because the fog monsters can't come out the Deht, onii-chan… ”
With a tired expression, Edda crawled into her bed inside the covered wagon, her hand still clinging to Heidemarie
”… Well then, looks like I'lass still stood where it was, vigilantlyto do, turned to the horse-drawn carriage in an effort to pass the tione?”
But, the shadow o was nowhere to be found
”Well then Edda, good night”
”Good night obasan”
Edda lay in the carriage, cuddled next to Heidemarie with a futon up to her head
” … ”
Though the war, the story today was a bit too intense for young Edda
What if a hand mark appeared outside the futon?
Driven by this unfounded fear, Edda found it too scary to come out (ED Joke: Edda's a hikikomori… )
However, as it was the early suhts were not nearly so cold If one stays inside a futon without raising their head, it will naturally becohost can't come out of the forest… )
Unable to stand the heat anyed herself and slowly poked her head out of the bedding, her eyes tightly shut
A cool and coently caressed her cheeks Edda inhaled deeply, enjoying the moist but fresh air
” … ”
Gradually, drowsiness began to set in After all, it had gotten pretty late due to theof this, Edda gradually began to doze off
Suddenly, she felt so
Half awake, Edda opened her eyes
Soht
And suddenly, se hood
”Kya!”
Edda's face stiffened as her eyes rolled back, fainting fro?”
” … ”
”… Go back to sleep… ”
” … ”
After that, only the shadow spirit re as she concluded her mischief
Author's Note:
ちなみに、元々DEMONDALの開発会社は精霊語をラテン語にするつもりだったのですが、ラテン語が難しすぎて心が折れ、急遽もっとシンプルで例外規則のない、人造言語な（＝ネイティブがいないのでスタートライン的に平等）エスペラント語をチョイスした、というどうでもいい設定があります。
By the way, originally, the developers of Dee as Latin, but it was ly difficult, so they switched to Esperanto, as it's a sie with no exception rules Also, because it's an artificial language, there are no native speakers, so there's the added benefit of having the sae And there's the irrelevant backstory behind the choosing of Esperanto
It wasn't like the author fell into despair learning Latin or anything, okay? It's true! …Really!
Editor's Note:
“Kelstein used psychic on Edda! It's super effective!”
