Dark Continent (3rd)
Nothing but constant sexual harassnt of the highest form.
Goggoru-chans mind is likely to break.
Im more dangerous than any monster she may encounter.
It would probably be best if we were to say goodbye.
I am curious about one thing. The Goggoru tribe are known to be quite knowledgeable, however.
The noble mage was examining the chocololis room as he said this.
He was looking at the pile of various objects near her bed that I had noticed previously. A pile of dead grass in a box and various food that she eats to survive.
My cute loli that suffers from hunger and poverty.
Higi mushrooms, boko grass, and even these Rai horns are all extrely poisonous. Even the most powerful creatures on the Dark Continent would succumb to these toxins. Do you use them for hunting?
When she first heard this she showed a surprisingly human reaction. Her shoulders trembled for a mont as she glanced over at the boxes before looking at the ground. Im sure she felt embarrassed having her way of life singled out.
Of course that would be the case.
The noble mage drew attention to her bed and the food she was storing.
Hes drawing all of our eyes to the intimate areas of her ho.
If possible, Id like to learn all you know about the various poisons of the Dark Continent.
The noble mage doesnt understand delicacy.
He began searching through the boxes she had stored by her bed.
Im sorry, Goggoru-chan.
Its still a strange feeling having my thoughts read, but shes having parts of her life exposed as well. And its different for a girl having such things exposed.
[.]
The loligons patience was growing thin. She was constantly tapping her foot and glancing around the room. Her abnormal eyes made feel nervous whenever she stared at . This was very stressful combined with the thought that at any mont she could launch a punch at my stomach.
This thought forced to try to get the noble mage to stop.
Fahren-san, you shouldnt look through another persons belongings.
R-Right, I did it without thinking.
That may sound funny coming from the person thats invading the chocololis privacy by constantly ntally sexually harassing her in every way possible. But this is at least a two-way invasion of privacy.
I think the noble mage has got everything he needs.
We should stop intruding on Goggoru-chans ho.
[Oi, are you done yet?]
The loligon could no longer stay silent and spoke to us.
Perfect timing.
Its like shes trying to help .
She has a point. We still need to travel all the way back ho.
The noble mage should listen if its the loligon saying it. However, what she said next was beyond my expectations.
[Just activate the magic circle and we can go back imdiately.]
Eh?
What?
The noble mage was just as surprised as .
I already told the noble mage that I tried to activate it but nothing happened. This is what led to worrying about how I was supposed to return ho over the last few days.
Christina-san, I told you before, this magic circle activates as only a one way transportation device. It didnt respond no matter how much mana I poured into it. Do you know of another way to activate it?
The loligon responded matter-of-factly.
[Ha? It says so right there. It can be used to travel back and forth between the circles. You only need to wait a night before you can use it again. The writings left by the demons are clear.]
She was looking at a section of the magic circle that was indistinguishable from the rest by .
Just mysterious scribblings that must represent so language.
Eh, is that so?
Y-You can actually read the magic circle?
I was a little surprised, but the noble mage couldnt believe what he was hearing.
Christina looked back and forth between us.
[humans cant read magic circles of this level?]
She really can read it and shes acting like its common knowledge.
I cant read any of it.
[.]
When I nodded, Christinas expression changed from shock to smug satisfaction. She started smiling and her cheeks puffed out.
I never thought Id be so happy to lose to the loligon.
[Fufu~, so youre not even aware of what this magic circle really is?]
Aside from it being capable of transporting here, I have no clue what it does.
[But I can. I understand every inch of this magic circle!]
Every inch? Wow, thats amazing.
[O-Of course, its after all! Understanding a magic circle of this level is childs play to !]
The loligon was brimming with confidence as she puffed out her flat chest.
I can tell shes not wearing a bra. I can faintly see her nipples poking through the fabric of her dress.
[So!? Im amazing, arent I!? I have so much knowledge!]
You really are. I cant understand any part of what Im looking at.
As expected of an Ancient Dragon.
[E-Exactly! So, maybe, I-I can teach you so of it? If you learn even a fraction of my knowledge, youll be more intelligent then the rest of the humans!]
Amazing.
[B-But Ill only teach it to you if youll continue recognizing my intelligence for the rest of your life! How about it!?]
That condition ca out of nowhere. How can she possibly guarantee Ill fulfill my side of the agreent? Well, whatever, seeing her excited like this is worth it.
Id greatly appreciate it. You are now and will always be intellectually superior to .
[.]
Christina-san?
[T-That much goes without saying! Obviously! How could I ever be inferior to a human!?]
She looked like she was doubting herself for a mont there. That lack of confidence on her face was also cute. The noble mage chose a good woman.
Recently, Ive started noticing the loligons charm points more. Im not sure if this is because its been a few days since Ive seen her. Unfortunately for , the noble mage was the first person to notice her charm.
.
Ill have to comfort myself with Edita Senseis panties when I get ho.
[O-Oi, humanwhy arent you saying anything!?]
I was just stunned into silence by your endless wisdom.
[What-thats right! Of course you were! Youre finally starting to learn your place!]
The loligon had a smug look on her face.
She still has a strong desire for approval.
If Goggoru-chan is reading my thoughts right now, this could be the end of my friendship with the noble mage. I cant even look at her to check. Please, please, if youre reading my thoughts, never reveal any of this to that ossan, Goggoru-san.
.
.
Shes not giving any answer. Are you a sadist, Goggoru-san?
A silent, cool beauty.
[Ill give you sothing else to admire and lend you my power! I know that the mana required to use this circle is impossible for you humans to possess. Ill show you the overwhelming power of an Ancient Dragon!]
The loligon headed toward the magic circle while retaining her smug look.
Shes going to show us how its done. Just as she said, it does take a lot of mana to activate the circle and the chocololi and the noble mage would probably be incapable of activating it.
I never knew the loligon could be so generous.
[Ill activate the circle now.]
Thank you, Christina-san.
R-Right.[Fahren]
[Fufu~n]
Us two ossans stepped into the centre of the magic circle as instructed by the loligon. After we were positioned, the loligon stood on it as well.
The only one left outside the geotric diagram on the ground was Goggoru-chan. She was left standing in the doorway of the room staring at us. As usual, she had no emotions on her face.
Sorry for intruding on your ho.
Thank you for returning my lost pouch to .
This might be our final goodbye.
Im not sure if well ever et again.
I shouldve said this earlier, but Im sorry for all of the trouble Ive caused you.
Before I could finish faint words, barely audible in the silent cave, left the chocololis lips.
can I co with you?
Eh? um, eh? No, I dontumm.
How stupid am I? Such beautiful words leave her mouth and I cant give her a proper answer.
I stumbled over my words and now she thinks I dont want her to co.
I thought she didnt like .
Its been fun talking to you. Being alone ishard.
Thats.
Shes telling her honest feelings.
What should I do?
No, really, what should I do?
I never expected to hear sothing like that coming from her.
Being alone ishard.
.
Thats how she truly feels.
The expression on her face hasnt changed much, but there has been a slight change in her cheeks and mouth. Theres a small amount of emotion slipping through her mask.
What she said reminded of when we first t. It was a series of questions and answers and I only now realize that might be what she wants most of all.
No one wants to have their mind read. This must have led her to her life of solitude. Maybe shes lived like this for a long ti. Alone for years until she t .
.
.
She probably had small interactions with mbers of the nearby village whenever shed go out to get supplies or clothes. But she would still be considered an outsider to these people.
This grey zone she existed in would just further increase her loneliness. True loneliness isnt being stuck on a deserted island by yourself. True loneliness only exists within yourself and the only cure for it cos from another person.
Its possible Im entirely wrong with this assumption but I cant imagine this hasnt affected her to at least so degree. She still possesses her pride, but she was desperate enough to ask that in front of the three of us.
[Thats not a good idea, okay? Shes not coming with. If she gets close to , Ill imdiately kill her! Ill kill her before you can do anything. Thats why shes not coming, okay!? Shes not coming. Dont even think about stepping into the circle!]
The magic circle began to glow as she poured her mana into it.
The loligon is clearly against the idea.
But this didnt stop Goggoru-chan from continuing to speak in a barely audible whisper.
And this slight leak of emotion that escaped her mask led to the dam breaking.
I dont want to go back to being alone. I want to talkmore.
The first ti I had seen real emotion on the chocololis face.
The look in her eyes wasnt terribly different than normal, but it invoked a certain feeling in I couldnt identify. Her eyes didnt convey anger, impatience, or sadness; they simply captivated .
