That Unique Monster Who Just Got the 'Consciousness' Passive Skill Chapter 6 En

"My daughter. Don't let yourself be fooled." Throwing down scorning eyes at , he harrumphed. "He's your boy no longer. Can't you see? You were trained by , your father, don't disappoint. His mana print underwent a clear change."

"I-I know! But how can he speak then, Father?!"

"That I—" the man sighed. "I'm also taken aback by that fact. Though this doesn't change that. He's no longer—"

"—Father! Please!"

"...Good grief."

Silence ruled over the empty atmosphere of this place. And now, I summon a STOP. Or a pause. Just a mont. I need ti to process things. I demand a ti-out. My understanding of the situation, of my situation, was deepened after I witnessed this short exchange. Breathing in and out, calmly and slowly, I stretched my two hands in front of my eyes, examining them. The object of my analysis was as expected. I was sure of it, no matter how much I observed, this was a proven fact. My skin, my nails, and every single detail concluded to the sa observation. I was a human.

Or was it just my looks?

I wasn't human, but I didn't know. So I was human. Kinda?

That human female also seems to know . She was calling by a certain na. She knows , so I'm human. I must have been, right? Now, on the other hand, other points were quite bizarre.

How was I able to speak? That's what they said. I was no longer… 'human'? They also stated that. Who? What? Also, a monster? Oh boy. The girl had clearly said sothing about a monster, or sothing of that nature. Even though I had new pieces of information, my understanding of the situation was, in actual fact, even shallower now.

I clicked my tongue.

Deepened understanding? Don't amuse . It was worse now. Now surprisingly, right after the girl stood up for , her bullied boy, with a Shing sound, a sword was sheathed. The sharp human entered a standby mode. "Talk to him and see for yourself, Inera. That shall make for a good lesson. Sacrifices."

The daughter urged her father not to say that. And I spoke inwardly: That's it, human. Tell your story, fill in about the details, what am I, and what's… yeah, just you let know things. I'm eager to know.

What did she have to tell ? The anxious lass now resud her speech, her eyes at tis stuck to the ground, and at tis hesitantly eting mine, and her tiny hands gathered as one upon her breasts.

Just by a glance, one could easily tell how worried the girl was.

"Mortde. What about the monster? A-At a glance, wasn't it… so sort of… and I'm just grasping at straws here, so sort of water elental? Was it more of an aqueous sea sli? I couldn't tell. It… Oh, sorry, I must be confusing you. I'm kinda lost in thoughts here…" She uttered, with a self-deprecating laugh. "I an, we were just eating… and discussing there. You recited your weird stories to the two little ones, and then… Sorry. One step at a ti. But you rember that, right?"

I didn't rember 'that', though. To be honest, I shook my head, the confused frown on my face digging deeper and deeper into my features. A cold sweat trailing down her forehead, she looked intently into my eyes. I was the one awkwardly looking at the ground, then.

There was one table and two chairs. Was it and her eating together? Our table was in a ss and she pointed to it as she explained the rest. "Anyway, anyway! Right after you… you drank...? I'm sorry… I'm just confusing you. I don't know… but... it? It, the water, the… moving lump of... aqua thingy? Aaah, then you told to go… because things were looking dangerous." She turned and pointed at her father. He shook his head, a slight trace of sadness hanging over him. "You told to go fetch my father… your father-in-law… rember? Please, Mortde. Please. Tell that you… rember…"

She looked at with pleading eyes as she begged . What was that for? I was oblivious to it. As I didn't speak, she urged to respond. "You do rember, correct? Please… Tell that you do..."

I waited. And waited so more. Well? This was really it. The story was over. She didn't show any will to speak further. Since she wouldn't speak, I did. "Uh, and was that the end of your enlightening story? I thought you would clue in about my situation, female." Still pretty much hesitant, I tilted my head in interrogation.

Her answer was this. "M-Mortde! Now's not the ti for pleasantry! Do you think it's fun?! …B-Besides, th-there's no way this can be real, you hear ?! Y-You can't go without ! P-Please…! I'm…"

She was being delusional, and then it struck . How was I to gather information with these two people, huh? I had been conceited. Thinking that these two humans would be of any help, how naive.

I burst out laughing. "Ha ha ha ha!" And that'd be my line. A nervous irritated laugh. Clenching my fists and grinding my teeth, I was annoyed for sure. What now, a monster? Aqueous Sea Sli? Moving lump of water? Water Elental? To drink? To tell her to go fetch her father? Co on, now! Were they actually playing at The-one-who-can-get--the-most-lost-and-clueless-wins? I was pretty sure that ga didn't exist, though!

I was out gathering info, but I only got more clueless with ti. "—W-Was it just a joke? Mortde Reinred! Answer !" And she now yelled at nervously, her fists trembling. For so reason, she seed as disappointed as I was. Or no, not quite. She was even more upset than .

I pushed her back, making a way for . "Enough," I coldly said. "What are you people even talking about? Stop it. You confuse ." I couldn't bear it anymore. Or actually, I could, but decided I wouldn't.

Abruptly standing up—behold, those were the monster's first steps—"Look now. Ever since I woke up here, I tried to deal with things properly. But you?"

"Mortde—"

"I'm not talking about you, female." If anything, she at least tried to help . I was quite satisfied with her. She was no use, but she behaved quite nicely, didn't she? "The one I'm blaming and talking to is you old geezer!" I pointed at the human male a distance away from . I held a grudge against that one. He attacked earlier and stained my shirt.

At my comnt, the swordsman harrumphed. "Anyway. You two are of no help to . That's why I'm leaving… Yes, I'll just go and find soone else to help ," I declared.

Now, I'd take my leave.

From my perspective, any of what these two told didn't make sense. What followed after I announced to the girl I'd leave her made even less sense to . Surprisingly enough, right after I said that, the girl burst into a ss of tears. Ew, and snot too. Was I the bad guy here? She uttered my na one last ti and said she was sorry for leaving behind. All right, then. She hadn't done that, but whatever.

Sparing her one last glance, I shook my head. Whatever, I thought, let's just get out of this place. I'll find other people out, and with them, I can gather information.

"Enough is enough. Indeed, monster." The man broke his silent stance. Once again, within a blink, he demonstrated his quick pace technique. Swiftly, the man disappeared and reappeared next to his girl. By his daughter's side, he patted her head, comforting the girl. "Inera, you go and check on your uncle. Here on out, your father'll take care of things. Go."

"Father… can you save him? He's still here! I'm sure he is…!"

"Be a good girl, go and see your uncle."

The good girl stood up and tugged at her father's black tunic. Gloomily, she spoke. "Father… I understand. But… But promise you'll try to save him first."

"..." The swordsman didn't reply instantly. The girl's gaze dropped down.

Yup, I thought, why'd they save ? They're just my bullies.

What then ca off his mouth had imnsely surprised. "...Save him? I'll try that."

My eyes rounded in utter surprise as my jaw dropped open. "Hah?" I was astonished.

"Go now."

And she timidly went away. Wait, I thought, were these guys only trying to save then? God, I'm stupid.
