Communicating with animals… Was she Snow White? No, Snow White was not this rabid.
Victor stared at Kushana with a dubious look on his face, but I didn’t think she was lying.
She really could talk to animals. Kushana was a human living in an entirely different world from mine.
“Are you doubting ?”
“Do you really expect to believe that nonsense?”
“Believe it or not, it’s the truth…”
She looked around as she calmly answered Victor’s words.
“So there were that many of them and only five survivors?”
The orange-masked ones stood up, wobbling here and there. They are alive, but they suffered minor injuries to their arms, legs, and other parts of their bodies.
Her expression remained unchanged in the face of the overwhelming number of the dead. Is the queen even allowed to mourn the loss of her comrades?
It was a tough world… Well, she and I were prepared to die fighting.
“You’re so easygoing, even though your friends died.”
Victor surely couldn’t be the one saying that.
When I turned to Kushana, she was laughing mockingly at Victor.
“It’s a world in which only the strong survive, you know? It wouldn’t be a surprise to if this girl killed right now.”
She said in a unique husky voice.
Duke-sama stared at Kushana and opened his mouth.
“Do you still want to kill her?”
“Well. I was going to, but it would be a pity to kill her.”
“Queen! They are the enemy. They killed so many of our people! There is no need to show them rcy.”
One of the orange-masked n shouted at us. We identified his voice as male.
That’s right. I didn’t want rcy from soone who was going to kill . I’d rather be killed than be worked to death as a slave.
It wasn’t so bad to be treated like a slave as a villainess, but I didn’t like the idea of being used. It was a cheeky idea, but….
Kushana thought for a mont and then turned to . She looked straight at , her red eyes glued to mine.
[Kill them quickly.]
[Shut up.]
Kushana replied to another shout in a low, archaic language. Her voice echoed silently in the forest, instantly changing the atmosphere of the place.
What pressure…
The tense atmosphere silenced the orange-masked people.
Was this the dignity of a queen? I had t soone extraordinary again, huh?
“Are you from this country?”
“No, I’m not.”
“You’re from the sa country as that blue-haired guy…. You are from the Duelkis Kingdom, aren’t you? It would be a pity to take your life here. I’d like to let you return, but I don’t think my people would agree.”
Muttering to herself, Kushana stared at intently.
Everyone was waiting for her decision. I imagined those people frowning behind their orange masks. Victor would be too proud to follow Kushana’s lead, and I would be too preoccupied with getting my hands on the next piece of the puzzle.
We didn’t know much about Duke-sama and Leon’s minds.
“Then, maybe I should take her under my wing.”
After a mont, Kushana said this in a quiet, sure voice.
