Boku wa Isekai de Fuyo Mahou to Shoukan Mahou wo Tenbin ni Kakeru Vol 4 Chapter 92

Chapter 92: The Path in the Forest

We who are transferred, appeared in a round-tube shaped lobby.

It is a dark room which is about 100m in diameter.

Arisu, Tamaki, Mia and roughly about 90 people are looking around.

I too surveyed around.

The walls are made of wood and slightly rough to the touch.

The top seems to be using something like an window, and the gentle sunlight shone in from there.

At the entrance of the lobby, many humans stood there looking towards here.

Because they are standing in the rays, we can’t see them properly…...

The big-sized males are standing as though they are protecting the female in the centre.

But I feel that their outline is kind of violating something.

「Kemomimi!」(TL note: literally beast ears)

Mia shouted.

And ran towards their direction as though she is flying.

The strong guys, facing Mia’s assault, steadily got ready.

But Mia got passed the men’s roughly around Rank 5 Sword Skill’s movement easily and rushed towards the female that they were protecting.

And touched the female’s ears.

There are no ears on the 2 sides on her head.

Yes, on her head, there are ears like a cat…...

Ah, there is a tail too.

I see, so it’s like this…...

The female gave out a shriek.

Even if I took notice of her voice, but that is not the voice that was given out by that eagle…...

The human voice by the eagle was slightly higher.

Then the males hurriedly, pulled Mia who is caressing the cat-like ears away from the female.

A tragedy…...

「Arisu, grab her back.」

「Y..Yes!」

Arisu squeezed in between the males and grabbed Mia up by her neck.

「Nyaa~」

Mia gave out a cute cry.

Ah, you, don’t think of getting back in.

「Don’t worsen the people’s image of you when they met you for the first time.」

「It can’t be helped. Sessha, am a beastman lover.」(TL note: Sessha = I, usually used in old periodic drama by samurais)

Who is Sessha...

This girl….. Is really the sister of that ninja.

The female who was assaulted by Mia, squatted with her arms hugging her head.

Arisu bowed in apology towards that female.

The surrounding men are troubled on what to do.

Ah, but they are still wary of Mia, as their tails are standing straight up like rods.

And the ears on their heads too, are trembling as though they are nervous.

Mmm, it is like this…… they are the so-called beastmen that everyone had said…...

If so…… then this is the city of the beastmen.

They are the same as us, having 2 ears on the side of the head and there are also ears on the top of their heads.

Just what kind of evolution did they go through to become like this?

Or rather, these people are not confused even with 4 ears?

Yes, there are ropes when Mia opened her bag. 

Ah there are collars too.

There are whips too.

「Mia, is this used for “PLAY”? Or for animals?」

「Of course it is for “PLAY”.」

Okay, I placed a collar on her neck.

「Ooo, Kazu-chi wants to play with some high-level PLAY…...」

「Tamaki, take this whip. When Mia began to make a commotion, you know what to do.」

「Leave it to me, Kazu-san!」

When Tamaki and Mia is playing the slave game, I walked towards the beastmen with the cat ears.

「I will have that girl apologise properly later. But sorry, can you bring us to where Rin-san is?」

「Ah, we should be the ones who are sorry. We will immediately…...」

The men are still very wary, and ignoring them, we went outside with the female’s guide.

Our vision widened and the sunlight shone down on us.

I squinted my eyes.

When the strong wind blew over.

The road made of wood was before me.

No, it’s a bridge.

Huh? This is…...

I finally understood the situation that we are currently in.

The lobby that we were in until now, was actually inside the hole of a very huge tree.

And the tree hole is a few dozen meters from the ground.

The bridge that we are standing on, is only until the height of the tree hole.

The place where the bridges are at, are not only on our side.

There are other wooden bridges used for travelling nearby.

There are bridges erected everywhere.

And the middle of the linked bridges became the city square, and the houses are built at the side.

This can be said as the city in the trees.

This is a scene that can make one awestruck.

Or rather this is just like a certain scene in a movie…...

「We have to go see Galadorieru-sama.」

Mia who had a collar on began to cry out with a “MUFU”

Ahah, I really feel that during these times, her reaction is really normal.

That’s right. The Lord of the Rings.

After the battle with the Monster of Fire, after they exit out of the cave, the scene of the forest.

Under the sunlight shone through the gaps of the leaves, a beautiful Elf Queen stood there…… (TL note: the scene from lord of the rings. Not sure if it is accurate since I didn’t watch it)

Looking around, the people walking on the wooden bridges are guys and girls with cat or dog ears.

Occasionally there are people with long ears like a rabbit.

There are ears on the top of everyone’s heads.

There is nobody that looks like an Elf.

Although the situation is like this, Mia alone is excited.

You are, really…...

「This is….. Really looking forward to Rin-tan’s appearance. Ku fuufuu...」(TL note: the raw says Ria but it should be Rin I think)

「Don’t use that naming and the tone too.」

「Ehh muuu…...」

Mia suddenly shutted her mouth.

Good, good, a smart and understanding kid.

I caressed Mia’s head and she closed her eyes and turn towards here.

「I am here.」

The female with the cat ears stood in front.

So we followed her.

The people whom we helped in the city, also followed behind without hesitation.

The wooden bridge gave out a Keekee sound while shaking when the wind blows, such a scary design…...

Tamaki grabbed onto the corner of my shirt tightly.

Behind are the survivors from the city, carefully walking while scared.

The people with the cat ears don’t seem to mind the shaking bridge at all.

Or rather, the people who are staying in this city in the trees, when they are walking on the unstable bridge, their bodies are completely not shaking.

While we walked with a Keekee on the wooden boards, we almost couldn’t hear their footsteps.

Hmm, indeed the natives have different adaptation to their surroundings.

For people who need to protect this city, it is better for such people to be lively like them.

While thinking of the battle that happened just now, we followed the female with cat ears.

「I feel that because of my fear, my eyes are spinning.」

Arisu smiled bitterly.

Then I am the same too.

Tamaki, you have been grabbing onto my shirt since sometime ago…...

「Because, high place, scary!」

「You were flying just now…...」

「It is fine if I was the one flying…...」

Ah, mmmm, so that’s it.

There is that kind of the fear of heights.

I gently caressed Tamaki’s head.

「Nevermind, even if you leak, it is fine!」

「Kazu-san, you are so bad!」

Tamaki glared at me with her eyes that are brimming with tears.

Why is Arisu glaring at me too?

「Kazu-san, it is not good to be bad.」

「Ah yes, I will reflect upon it…...」

And lowered my head decisively.

Even if it is unreasonable, I was glared at by Tamaki.

「Your reaction is different…… Kazu-san, if it’s Arisu, you will just listen to her…...」

「If it was you, you will do so too.」

「Hmm….. That’s right, but even so! I get this irritated feeling…...」

Hmmm, I can understand that feeling.

But Arisu is Justice.

Isn’t this something that can’t be helped?

The people from the city separated at the intersection of the bridges.

They are brought away by other soldiers.

After their check up, they revealed their tired look, so it is better to let them rest.

What is the check up about?

There are also infectious disease check up even in such a fantasy-like world?

The soldier who gave me the advice, and the aunties that he led, waved and gave us encouragement for the last time.

After walking for another 5mins, we reached a who knows how many thousands year old tree.

This is not the World Tree…...right?

In the surroundings, there are many similar trees.

In this forest, indeed all of them are giant trees.

What should be done to grow such trees?

It must be magic.

Then before the tree hole, the female with cat ears stopped talking and lowered her head.

The tail that came out from the skirt, froze due to nervousness.

The cat ears too, stood up at attention.

Which is to say, the person inside is…...

「Please come in.」

A clear voice like a chime came out from the tree hole.

I noticed that it was Rin-san’s voice immediately.

I entered the tree hole while leading the rest.

Inside, it was spherical in shape with a high ceiling.

Hence in the wooden walls, there are magical orange lamps installed at a height that is slightly above eye level, illuminating the interior.

In the centre of the room, a girl is sitting cross-legged on a mat of grass.

「Honestly speaking. This world will meet its end tomorrow.」
