"...they kill other parties they come across and eat their flesh!"

mickbell stares at him before glancing up at kuro.

"...what is he on right now?"

"kabru, are you on that good kush?"

"what? no—"

"that's stupid. it'll be easier to hunt monsters than to hunt another human being."

rin interfered with a huff.

"geez, you guys are what folks call a wet blanket."

kabru sighed, shrugging.

"no, we're just not smoking whatever you're smoking."

"i am NOT smoking anything."

"mhm, sure..."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"!!!"

"hm? what's wrong, [name]?"

the touden party stops walking as soon as they noticed [name] slowing down, looking around in alarm as if she had just sensed something.

"what is she doing? [name]! are you okay?"

marcille jogged up to the girl, patting her arm as said girl pressed her ear against the floor, her brows furrowed in concentration.

"she probably heard something..."

laios rubs his head, and chilchuck suddenly flinches while cupping his ear.

"wait, i think i just heard it too."

"what was it?"

"it sounded like screams. but now it's gone."

marcille visibly bristled, and she hid behind [name]'s hair.

"s-screams? do you think there's ghosts around?"

"nah, it sounded more like a human's scream. there's probably some adventurers around that's being harassed by a monster right now."

[name] suddenly rose back up, knocking marcille over but was thankfully caught before she could hit the ground, and then the giant girl kinda just held her like a doll while looking in all directions.

"ah! i feel so tall up here."

marcille grins, letting herself be held, hoping she won't get rag-dolled or something.

"we should get going as soon as possible if there are monsters around... it's best to avoid them to not waste time."

laios unfolds his map, looking at where they had to go. they're still far away from their original destination, and they're not really making a lot of progress.

suddenly, [name] began moving forward in a certain direction, ignoring the calls of her friends.

"where the hell is she going now?"

chilchuck groaned as they followed the girl.

"she's actually going in the right direction, so it's fine."

laios says, tucking away his map.

"laios, we'll have to get a new hunt soon. we don't have anythin' to eat right now, you know."

senshi reminded the young man as he walked alongside them, following the alarmed [name] and squealing marcille. she looks like she's having way too much fun, now riding on [name]'s shoulder.
