Did that stuffed animal talk?

　I yell out in surprise.

'Nuh?　What the hell is wrong with that guy? He's a human being. I don't like humans. Get him out.

　The plush toy looks at me and says.

'Master, Tetsuya saved me, you saved me.
What?　A human rescued you?

　The bear is on the move, and it's coming for me.

　Hey, calm down, calm down. This is a different world.

　Cats can turn into human form, or stuffed animals can talk and start moving.

　In times like this, you need an appraisal. Appraise the situation, and you'll find out what it is.

I'm not going to be able to tell you what it is. Individual Name: Meku Summerfirth, 81 years old, Lv.77/85.
　A species that lives in the forest. Long life span'

An elf...?

　I muttered to myself.
　There were many other things that bothered me, like the fact that it was so high level and 81 years old was a great age, but the one that bothered me the most was that it was an elf.
　An elf is a stuffed animal, in this world?

How did you know I was an elf?

　He asked, lowering his voice a little.

'What?　I used an appraisal....
Appraisal?　You have some unusual skills.

　Is appraisal a rare skill?

'Master. The man is Tetsuya, the one who rescued me from the cave today. It's true. You shouldn't try to bully him too much.
Lenya, tell us what you're talking about.

　A stuffed bear called the Master?　Elves?　Raina told him about the incident in the cave.

'Ho, they were attacked by an ab-sword spider, and this guy took them down.
Yes, that's right~. After he let out a burst of energy, he moved really fast and knocked it down. It was amazing. After that, I had him stroke me. It felt so good. I wanted to thank you, but I didn't know what to do, so I brought you here.

　Lenya said, narrowing her eyes.

'Hey, Tetuya and all,'
What?

　I'm honestly not used to being spoken to by some stuffed animal.

My name is Meku Somafarth," he said. "My name is Mek Summerfirth," he said, "and if you're using an appraisal, you'll know what I'm talking about. First of all, I'd like to thank you for saving Lenya's life. And I apologize for my initial slight rudeness. I'm sorry.

　After introducing himself, he bowed.

As you said before, I am an elf. A long time ago, I was cursed with a curse, and although I'm dressed in a strange outfit now, I was originally known as a beautiful elven princess.

　What makes it a plush toy...?

　But I do know that regular elves aren't stuffed animals.
　Well, I don't know if they're the same as the elves I'm imagining or not.

And as far as I'm concerned, when I say thank you I don't have anything to show you.
What?　That's not good enough for me!
'No, I don't need to be thanked for it, or rather I don't need to be thanked for it...'

　I think about it for a minute.
　I thought it would be a good idea to get some information here as a thank you.
　Mek is an elf, and apparently he's also 81 years old. He seems to know quite a lot about a lot of things.

'I was forced out into this valley and I want to get out right away, but in return I want you to tell me how long I have to walk to get out and if there are any other dangerous demons.
You want to get out of this valley but it's not easy to get out of this valley.

　As Lenya said earlier, is it still difficult?

Did you know that the deadly ghosts travel by night?
Last time I heard from Lenya they were very scary people.
That's right. At night, when they're out there, they're out there in droves. They are dangerous creatures that will kill any creature they can find. It'll take you thirty days to get to the exit of the valley by foot. Until then, it will be very difficult to keep fending them off.
Can't you beat it?
Defeat them, that's an interesting question. They are not of this world. They're not of this world. They can't be attacked by us, but they can be attacked by dead spirits. If you have a special skill, you can attack them. Do you have it in you?
No.

　Could it be possible to absorb a corpse, perhaps with absorption?

　No, corpse absorption can only be activated if you touch the corpse.
　If you can't hit them with an attack, that means you can't touch them either, and that's probably impossible.

　I mean, if there were such dangerous people out there, I'd be dead if I wasn't here, right?

So we're stuck in this valley, then?

　I heard. That would be very distressing.

"Well, there's a way out. There's a cave that leads outside, not far from here...

　Is there a way out? Can we just go through it?

The exit is blocked by a powerful demon, a giant golem. You will not be able to leave the valley until it is defeated.

　Giant Golem........
　The golem is a monster-like thing made of rocks, right?
　Giant means that a huge golem is blocking the way out of the valley.

We want to get rid of this valley as soon as possible. I can't fight, but I can teach you how to fight, so I was in the process of training Raina to be able to defeat the golem. It's a good thing that Lenya's limit level is 55, because if you raise her to 55, she'll be quite strong.

　Is that so?
　You said the door was heavy because of the training, to defeat the giant golem, and you were training, right?

　Huh?　But Mek said earlier that he couldn't fight, but his level was so high.
　He was 77.
　What do you mean by that?

'Can't you fight, Meku?　It looked like a strong level, though.
"Have you seen my level and my limit level? It would be easy to defeat me in my original form, but in this form, my status is considerably weakened, and I can't use my skills or magic. It's impossible for me to fight.

　I see.
　This stuffed animal curse must be very troublesome.

I'd like to get out of this place as soon as possible and go find a way to break the curse, but I just slipped up that time.

　You're in this valley, you slipped and fell.
　You're a doodler.

Nee-nee-yah, do you want to get out of this valley, too?　If that's the case, I'm sure if you fight the Giant Golem with me, we can defeat it and get out of here!

　Lenya told me so.
