Mr. Druid, do you know what kind of giant snake this is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm...black body with a white pattern, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, there is some pattern on the top of his head, isn't there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Unfortunately, I couldn't see it at my height, but I could see a little bit when the giant snake moved its head earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, ...... it's a black sphere, almost invisible, but there is something that looks like a pattern."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Apparently, the giant snake's head also has a sphere on it, so the pattern is not visible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, I don't get it. To begin with, I've never heard of black snakes in the vicinity of Hatau village."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid shakes his head, saying he can't help you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I move a little so I can see the entirety of the giant snake and look at the patterns on its body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Eh!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... that druid, Sola is jumping around on the back of a giant snake."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola is happily jumping around amongst the black spheres.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I rub my eyes and look again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then I look at where Ciel was just now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... is not there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Mr. Druid, Ciel has joined us as a slime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　Oh, it's true."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Two slimes blending into a black sphere in our line of sight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They look like they're having fun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We look at the giant snake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems to be turning its head back to look at Sola and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I cringe a little, but he returns his gaze to us without any particular reaction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They are playing on our bodies, but I wonder if they will allow it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Well, Sola and Ciel are disturbing you on your body. Forgive me, okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My face moved up and down slightly as if my words had been understood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps it was not my wish.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know what kind of snake it is, but this one has lived quite a long time."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Long-lived?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh, snakes are demons that get bigger the longer they live. At this size, it's probably a serpent."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Serpent?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It'll be the biggest of the snakes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The largest size.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Certainly the giant snake in front of me is the largest I have seen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Not that I have seen that many.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'But then again, I haven't seen a snake this big in a long time. There was a serpent I took down a long time ago, but it might be bigger than that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... defeat?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, they used to come out of their caves and attack and eat the villagers nearby, so we were asked to take them down."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see, then there is no way to defeat them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Look at the huge snake in front of you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then I look at the black spheres that are full of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I already don't know which one is the one I picked up because there are so many similar ones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A little disappointed, I wanted to play with them a little more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am more concerned about what the druid said earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'He attacked the villagers'.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look up and see a giant snake, or serpent, still watching me and the druid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's staring at us, but you don't think it's aiming at us, do you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Serpent, would you like to attack us?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the meantime, let's ask them about their intentions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How about asking the snake?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid sounds a bit dismayed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But the snake made eye contact with me and waved his face from side to side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Not a slight movement as before, but firmly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It didn't seem to attack me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Ah, I didn't think you could communicate with ....... And Ivy accepting that as normal is still not normal either."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid said something to me, but I missed it in my joy at being able to communicate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, let's say it's not a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are those black spheres children?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His face drops one time at the question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. Were you looking for me by any chance?　Did we bother you by taking you out?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The snake's head shakes sideways.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank God, he didn't seem to cause any trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's so big. Does it live quite a long time?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I ask more and more questions out of happiness at being able to communicate with him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am glad that the snake is willing to answer my questions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I ask, "Druid, you've been alive for over a hundred years!　Sola and the others are fine!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sounds like it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at Mr. Druid and for some reason he is looking at me with an extremely impressed expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is something wrong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I tilted my head to look at him and he laughed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I thought, "That's the Lord of Sola for you."'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, Sola!　You're right, you're going to be pissed off there."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Out of the corner of Mr. Druid's eye, Sola is jumping on Mr. Serpent's head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at Mr. Serpent as if he was indeed angry, but when our gazes met, he tilted his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank goodness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This Serpent-san is very kind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am sorry, Mr. Serpent, that Sora jumped on my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After about five minutes of time, Sola and Ciel come to us, satisfied.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ppppp~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nyaun."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Welcome home, and thank Mr. Serpent for his hospitality."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At my words, the two animals jumped up and down once in front of the Serpent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wondered if it was their way of thanking me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at Serpent and he nodded his head once broadly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's amazing, they seem to understand each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Now, we need to find a place to sleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I was in the middle of looking for a place to sleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess I forgot all about it until Mr. Druid told me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, I suppose so. Shall we look around here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, I will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

P~~!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola makes a frustrated noise as she tries to start moving to look for him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'What's wrong?　Sola?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I call his name, but he is somewhat angry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola, please find a place to sleep."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ppppp~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My words seemed to put him in a better mood at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola is in a good mood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid, who was watching Sola, was a bit taken aback.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Sola jumps up and down, Serpent's body starts to move quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, it looks like he's going away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Despite the black spheres on her body, she walked deep into the forest with fluid movements that did not make us feel that she was carrying a lot of black spheres on her body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good-bye. Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola and Ciel thank you for your help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sola and Ciel waved their hands to express their gratitude.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps in response to their voice, Serpent's movement stops.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then, he remained motionless for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wondered, "Is something wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I wonder what to do, Mr. Serpent turns his head back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then our gazes meet again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"............?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was puzzled, and Mr. Serpent's face became much closer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was so unexpected that my body was bent back a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was startled. Hmm?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A small exhale and a black sphere in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is on the Serpent's tongue.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I'm trying to figure out what to do, the tongue stretches out and the sphere is pressed firmly against me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I hold it in my hand, the temperature in my hand is cooler than before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It seems that I am not a child.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can you give it to me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He stared at me again as his tongue returned to his mouth, and after a moment he returned to the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I got it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh," he said. What's that about?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's cold, so it doesn't look like a living thing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Druid holds it in his hand and lifts it to eye level.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then he looks around at things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have absolutely no idea what it is."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It can't be helped."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was cool, by the way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Black body with white patterns, open-minded and kind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look in the direction where Mr. Druid and Mr. Serpent disappeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was a short but strange encounter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After a while, Sola's voice echoes through the forest from a short distance away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh shit, I left her to find a place to sleep.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hurriedly looked for Sola and found her with her eyes more upturned than usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Bu~"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "p" has turned into a "bu" in anger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Boo!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How do I get him to be in a better mood?
