Chapter 1475 December 14th: The Most Terrifying Thing

Since Rabbitz, the country located near the South Sea has the existence that is considered Immortal, it would be only natural to assume they would be the leader of the Great Multiracial Alliance.

King of Vorpal Bunnies…… Weissash.

The cat prince who reigns over the cliff kingdom of Catzeria.

King of Cat-Sith…… Nyai XIII.

An ultra-ultra-ultra-standard scale creature, a knight who descends from the back of the cow, the ruler of the nation of Goblistan.

King of Goblins…… Lono Door.

From far north. An unidentified white wise monkey-like creature that rules over its people who prefer to hide amidst the snowstorms and silver-white world.

King of Yetis … “Ashback” Hike.

Indeed, this gathering right here is a multi-ethnic alliance, if nothing else. If you look to the right, Kobolds are also present, looking like dog-headed dwarfs. There are Minotaurs, and Centaurs over there as well? And some creatures crouching on a perch rather than sitting on a chair? The appearance of a wide variety of other monsters surrounding a round table, a sight with which you tend to associate humans exclusively, is a sign of a true fantasy world.

For some reason, I feel like someone is stealing glances at me all the time, but…… The reason for this might actually be one of the two here:

「…………」

Is it quiet because it’s a multiracial summit? There is that, yes, but I believe that the real reason for that is different.

I could feel Deepslaughter gazing at me. But when I turned around to look at her to see what her deal was going to be this time around, she turned away with great momentum for some reason. I don’t know. She really acts in the most retarded ways sometimes.

Survival is … no good. He is busy looking at the Queen of Koropokurus (a dwarf-like creature, rather than a plant-human dwarf, making it far from the general image that a Japanese person might have in their head). This fucking lolicon…… Maybe it’s about time that someone makes his soul disconnect from his body? Like, permanently?

Yashiro Bird doesn’t even try to make eye contact in the first place…… Oh? That bastard, his shoulders are shaking! Don’t you dare to laugh at my situation, you asshole!!

Karoshis UQ…… has a really sad expression for some reason, holding down his stomach. Is it because the atmosphere is close to an in-house meeting? I’m not going to talk about other people’s real life situation, but quit it dude, for God’s sake…… I don’t know how to deal with situations like that, but suffering in silence is never going to do you any good here……

「Kororororororo ………」

「Nuh」

「Muh ……… disrespectful.」

「O-O, p-please don’t mind that……」

Oh, is someone here hungry, perhaps?

Kuh, Deepslaughter, what the hell is this? Now you are ignoring me, even though you are always I’m always staring at me and trying to crack dirty jokes at my expense all the time? Make eye contact with me already, eye contact! Huh, you won’t even do that much? What the hell is that all about?

And even though she won’t look at me, she would occasionally poke my side with her elbow, making strange panting noises like that, making me want ot smack her across the head, but…… Now’s not the time for that. Unless this is going to be a battle encounter, it’s difficult to smack her because it’s a rational place called the audience seats of this summit.

「Ssu………」

The beginning of this entire situation was when we were guided to the audience seats, and we were sat down left-justified: first was Karoshis UQ, then Yashiro Bird, then Survival, then Deepslaughter, then there was me.

In other words, there was a vacant seat right next to me, and of course the listeners who came after us would sit there. Or is there someone other than us sitting in the audience seat in the first place? I was relaxing with my legs spread out…… At it was at that time, that IT came.

Hmm, I wonder…… What is that guy? Or this thing?

Its body has the outline just like a human being, but its head looks like that of a wolf? Or maybe it’s a boar? Anyways, it’s a humanoid with a beast’s head. Well, and it’s over three meters tall, at the very least.

And the fact that it is nearly twice as tall as an average human being is not all. It’s also almost twice as wide. And are those thorns growing all over its body? Is it a crustacean? This creature seemed to be assigned to the seat right next to mine, so I can’t help but be more concerned about my right side rather than the contents of the summit.

And yes, that is most definitely a shell. This seat next to me is also over three meters tall, and wide enough to easily contain a sumo wrestler in it, and now it has a shell-covered creature sitting in it, emanating some serious killing intent. It’s a terrible creature with vicious claws that is reminiscent of a quad beetle that I encountered inside of the mountain sometime ago, but for some reason it also looks rather serious in its seat.

At first I thought it was an actual insect tribe. However, because of my mother’s hobby, it doesn’t correspond to any insect that I know so well, and most of all, the insects have compound eyes. This guy’s eyes are close to those of a human being. However, because it has no eyelids, the half-filled eyeballs move around freely…… Well, to say the least, they have grotesque eyes for sure.

「………………」

「………………」

Guys? Can you help me out here just a little bit? No, but wait. I should wait and see what this thing has to say before I do something hasty here. Its voice is like a deep bass voice that seems to resemble the scraping of something hard against a stone mill, but it would be really disrespectful of me to dismiss the possible peaceful solution right off the bat and resulting to violence.

W-What? Wanna go, punk? Huh……? But do I wanna have a go with this thing? It looks like something that can seriously mess you up if you make a single mistake. And I seriously don’t want to be turned into minced meat by something like this……

「…… Surging Waves.」

「…… Huh? Ahh, yes? What is it?」

「A human being…… from beyond the Surging Waves. Or at least…… you look like one.」

Surging Waves? Ah ……… I don’t think I remember ever being called that way…… But I’m sure it’s the way in which those creatures call the ones from the Old World.

Fushurururu, and with that weird sound the four of the Biological Killing Weapon “Killing Beasts” (provisional name) making a sound that seems to be exhalation from their mouths that look more like something that specializes in biting and tearing its prey to shreds with razor-sharp teeth rather than for anything else. The second one of them looks directly at me. If you look closely at their mouths, it looks like a beak to some extent…… It’s hard and sharp, and their heads look just like that of a wolf, but wolves do not have long ears and bone protrusions growing out of their skulls.

Oh, I just like myself, it also happens to have multiple eyes? Moreover, because my face is burning, it seems to be strangely wary of me…… and its legs seems to be a strange mass of entangled somethings. What a strange creature.

「I have a, question.」

「It’s a really strange situation…… But I also happen to have something to ask about.」

I get a feeling that there is a high tension between Killing Beast-san, a biological killing weapon, and myself. The summit is no longer a second-to-third thing, at least I can’t move on without settling this matter with Killing Beast, a biological killing weapon in the seat next to me.

「…………」

Hehehehe. Please start with my question, don’t be shy. Good, good … I’m not afraid of being one to take the lead, especially after all of those shitty dating sims I have cleared! After all, the likeliness gauge does not increase for those who are passive, sitting on their asses and waiting! So don’t just stand there! Act!

「…… What is your name and race?」

「…… Urudim. I’m an Orc.」

「Yeah, like, no shit!」

Oh crap, I actually let that thought slip out loud by accident.
