Davies raced after the frigid penguin as he didn't want to lose its trail, but luckily, he hadn't taken too much ti in his last attack to take out as many monsters as he could, so the penguin hadn't gotten far.
Davies ran at top speed to get as close as possible without alarming it and after that, he just followed after the penguin that slid on its belly through the snowy ground of the forest.
[Hurry up, don't let skipper get away!] Miya called out to him.
'Skipper? This isn't penguins of Madagascar, what are you talking about?' Davies mused confusedly at Miya's statent.
[Well, what do you expect to call a weird and sneaky penguin that moves around by sliding on its belly?] Miya asked like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
'...'
'Good point,' Davies admitted when he couldn't find anything against her argunt.
[Where do you think it's going?] Miya asked.
'I don't know, why do you think I'm following the damn bird?' Davies scoffed at her annoying question.
[Hey, do you think they have a base… maybe a secret base]
'... It's a bird… birds don't have secret bases… this isn't so cartoon world, Miya,' Davies shook his head.
[So what type of world is it?]
[People in anis and web novels always transmigrate into a ga world, or a novel world, so which is it?]
'... I… don't know,' Davies didn't have an answer as he had never thought about it, and even if he did think about it, it made no difference. What mattered was that he was here and he'd fight till his last drop of blood to not be killed by any fated protagonist. He'd had enough of being pushed over.
'It doesn't matter anyway,' Davies finally answered Miya.
[So unambitious!]
[Don't you wanna take over the world or sothing?] she asked.
'Who cares about taking over the world… that's the dumbest shit that I'd never even consider doing,'
'Like, why would I do so much work to take over the world only to be swamped in more work when I take it over,'
'That's condemning myself to a life of suffering… I'd rather sleep all day,' Davies scoffed at the idea.
[But isn't there sothing you want to do? Or don't you have any ambitions?] Miya asked again, but her tone was softer this ti.
'I don't have any glorious ambition…'
'...I just want to live without fearing for my life or my emotional state, but I can't even do that because so bastard decided it was a good idea to constantly transmigrate through different worlds where the only thing waiting for was pain,' he answered with a self-deprecating smile, but Miya could hear the anger in his voice as her question had caused him to touch his sore spot.
[Well, you can at least try sothing like having 700 wives and 300 concubines] she tried to liven up the mood.
'Nope, not doing that?' Davies rejected that idea quickly.
[Why? Don't you like girls?]
'I indeed like girls, but I'm not a pokemon collector,'
'... also, having that many won would suck dry,' Davies concluded as he returned his focus to the frigid penguin when he noticed that they were already out of the forest.
As they left the forest, they ca to a cliff made from ice and rocks. The frigid penguin made its way down a path that led down the cliff, but this ti Davies didn't follow the penguin because he was pretty sure he'd found what he was looking for.
After the cliff, everywhere as far as the eyes could see was covered in white. There was ice everywhere.
'I'll be damned…'
[Who was it that said that monsters didn't have bases?] Miya asked smugly, but Davies didn't answer imdiately because he was in a daze at what he was looking at.
Ahead of them, in a wide open space of icy land, an ice fortress that was forged with ice so clear that it looked like crystals, stood tall. To say it was big was a huge understatent and to say it was huge was an understatent... it was ginormous.
'Okay, I'll admit I was wrong, but who would expect monsters to have bases?' Davies said while still looking stupendously at the ice fortress.
[Not to ntion one as beautiful and glamorous as that] Miya added, as even she was a bit overwheld at what she was seeing.
'I know right… I want one,' Davies was almost drooling at the thought of having sothing like it.
[...Wait…]
[... a hidden ice fortress in the middle of an icy land…]
[... It can't be what I think it is, right?] Miya said ominously as if she just rembered sothing very important.
'... What… is it?' Davies gulped audibly as he heard Miya's ominous line of questioning.
[It's superman's base]
[... or maybe he helped them design the fortress] she announced as if she had just discovered the greatest secret in the world.
'... Idiot…' Davies facepald.
'I should have known better than to expect sothing even remotely smart from your mouth,'
[Hey! What if I'm right!?] Miya protested indignantly.
'Superman doesn't exist in this world, and even if he did, he wouldn't work with monsters, talk less of going around playing architect for them,' Davies affird.
[So how do you explain the ice fortress?]
'How do you expect to know?'
'I didn't go to school to learn monster architecture 101,' Davies replied tiredly as he was fed up with her constant annoying questions.
He ignored any further questions and looked for the penguin that he was following just a minute ago. He found it had already reached the bottom of the cliff and was already making its way toward the ice fortress in the distance.
