I Can Speak with Animals and Demons

The woods behind the mansion are easy to walk without ever being like the woods to the west.

In the woods with moderately lush branches, there are many things like mountain vegetables that live in the sun.

In the woods, where you can hear the chirping of a chunch and a little bird, I pick up branches of appropriate length and walk loosely.

"Hey! There she is! What about my honking voice now?

"You idiot. It's decided better for me. I'm not comfortable listening to you whimper."

"What is it, Cora!

"Are you done, Cora!

"No, no, no, no, no."

Apparently, the male is calling on the female.

I thought it would be a little good. I want my feelings back.

"Whoa, I've seen this before."

Zenmai-like mountain vegetables swarming beneath trees. It's similar to Japanese. Has it been picked here that has also come up on the table several times? I know this is a good thing.

That means other mountain vegetables that have come out so far can also be picked in this mountain. Let's see how many there are.

"Heh, the people there! What the hell are you doing in my territory?

Looking for some mountain vegetables that I had seen since then, as I was walking around looking for the next object, I was heard from somewhere.

"Hmm? Who is it?

"This way, fool"

It was a monkey who shook the bushes and appeared before me.

When the monkey came in front of me, he pulled me to say that he was going to hem my pants.

"Hey, hey, why don't you grab that nut?

"Where?

When I asked back, the monkey pointed his finger at the tree in the diagonal direction.

When I looked at it, it looked like a yellow, round fruit.

"Uh, that one. It's the fruit of a pop with a mellow sweetness and exquisite acidity."

'Yes, yes. It's delicious... you know what human habits are...

"What's wrong?

"You, are you talking to me? Are you a person like Jed, the rumor is that you can talk to animals?!?

"You're getting rumors all the way here. Yes, it's Jed."

"Wow, there was this guy who was so convenient. Then come and get that pop fruit."

"Hey, don't say it's convenient or anything. You're a monkey. Why don't you climb the tree yourself and pick it up. This is it!

"Ugh! Because you're a monkey, don't think you love bananas or are good at climbing trees! Apologize to me, your ancestor!

"Uh, okay, so don't pull your sleeve! Cut a thousand!"

Anyway, it seems that this monkey is not good at climbing trees to monkey habits. I thought there was a monkey like that, but I had no choice but to head right under the tree where the popcorn fruit would come from.

But how do you pick it? I'm a human being and I'm not good at climbing trees like that. I don't think there is a modern man who is generally good at climbing trees.

'You know what I mean, don't you get hurt? It rots as soon as it's scratched. "

And how can this monkey look so great? I can't even climb a tree.

"Ah! Say something great about the habit that you can't even climb a tree right now! Or so you think! Oh, it's me, you can climb a little bit, right? Yet - '

The neighboring monkey made some noise, so he flushes and thinks while hammering appropriately.

Think looking up at the tree in front of you. The place where the popon fruit is, as the monkeys say, quite expensive. I've never climbed a tree before, so there's no way I can get to that height.

Hmm, magically drop it. Do you want to be the guy who's made up of ends so that the trees and fruits don't get scratched as much as possible?

I cast a spell with my hands on the end of a pop.

"[Tim Slash]"

Primary magic of the wind attribute. The magic of flying an easy-to-use wind blade among the most wind attributes.

"Hey, what!?

The emerald light converges and instantly flies through the air.

It flies brilliantly straight away, separating the fruit of the popon from the branches.

I rush to the bottom and accept my clothes instead of a cushion.

"Ugh, success!

'No, yes! You did it! I'm surprised you suddenly use magic. Come on, give me that!

I tried to give the pop fruit to the happy monkeys but stop.

'Hey! How can you pull your hand in! Give it to me!

"I won't give it to you because you look great. I don't have a word of thanks."

"Ahhhhhh!? You're my ancestor, so be respectful!

"Shut up, you evolved bastard!

"Ahhhhhhhhhh! You said something you shouldn't have said, Cora!... Oh, hey! Don't eat pop fruit!

In the end, the monkey persisted even after that, so I gave him three Popon fruits and he gave me something like herbs. Are you sure this is a herb? Isn't it actually a weed or something?

I don't know, but I decide to stick it in my pants pocket.

For a while after breaking up with the monkeys, the road became more and more inclined. It's getting a little rough, but I can see the village at height.

Further up, I can see even my own mansion where I was just now. This is a nice view.

I sit in the right place looking for a flat spot where I can sit down to see this view.

"... oh, that's a pretty good view"

Overlooking the mountain is the entire village of Asma. Fences and walls are built in large circles, which make me realize once again if they have grown so far.

Until a few years ago, he said he made the impression that people and houses were less lonely.

The power of people is amazing. Because we can get this far in just a few years.

"Oh, my gosh, is this you, Jed, who is rumored to be able to talk to animals?

A serene voice called to me who was in love with the view.

When I moved my neck to see where I could hear it from, I heard a voice from directly above me, 'Here it is'.

Looking up, there was a single owl that stopped on the tree.

"Yes, it is."

'I see. Rumors seem to be true. How interesting it is to be able to talk to humans. "

"Have the rumors and the dots reached this point?

"Yeah, a lot of little birds used to say that, so I think we all know these animals."

"…… I see."

Now I know why you can speak up everywhere. Was the bird flying around and mumbling? One of these days I'm going to be able to talk to you when I get there.

"And the view from here is beautiful, isn't it? Until night, I'm here to relax and watch the scenery and sleep."

"I never thought I'd have such a beautiful place to look, either."

"Surely, Jed, your residence was that big mansion, wasn't it?

"What? Is there a rumor going on all the way to my place?

That's troublesome. I want you to respect my privacy.

"No, because I've seen it several times from here."

An owl that slowly shakes its neck in the wind that it is different and different.

"What!? But the mansion is a long way from here, isn't it?

I'll take a look at the mansion to make sure, but I can't see what's going on inside just because I can see the whole thing. Some people must be working in the garden, but from here on out, whatever.

"My eyes are very good, even if they look like this, right? From here, you can see the kitchen through the window on the ground floor. '

"Shh!? Can you see the kitchen from here?

Wow! There's no such thing as an invasion of privacy. You don't see my room or anything from here, do you? Yeah, I'm fine. The structure of the mansion makes my room nowhere to peek from here. The windows are on the other side, so there's no problem. I can see the hallway, but that's about it. No.

'Er... now you have a maid polishing your plate in the kitchen. She's a woman with brown hair cut on her shoulder.'

"Hmm, it's hard to tell because so many other people have brown hair"

It's easy to understand if you're someone with a flashy color, like your mother or sister Julia.

"Oh, now you seem to have dropped a glass of water and broken it"

"That's Mr. Noel."

It's about Mr. Noel doing such a sticky dodge. By the way, when I was a baby, so was the maid who stepped on me, Mr. Noel. Still a dodge.

'Apparently, you cut your finger a little. Poor thing.'

Uh, I can see Mr. Noel hanging around. When I get home, I'll put some healing magic on Mr. Noel.

"That's amazing. Can you see anything else?

'Right. There's a boy wearing glasses at the mansion. He's kind of upset about rolling up paper.'

"... Brother Gillion, I'm upset again."

Occasionally, Brother Gillion is surprised because he makes odd noises in his room. Mostly, it's a reaction when I fail to chant the magic language.

'And then yes, a boy with a sword in one hand and a red-haired woman looking for something to url through the garden'

"That's Brother Gladys and Sister Julia or your mother. I wonder what you're looking for."

Well, you don't think about that. Brother Gladys was just waving his sword in the garden, and Sister Julia is just hanging out at home.

"Maybe Jed, aren't you looking for you? We're pretty close to evening already though. '

When I heard the owl's words and looked at the sky, the day was leaning quite a bit.

It's going to be just sundown by the time you walk from here.

Yeah, this is a bad idea if we don't go back. Let's go home. I mean, it pisses me off.

"……… I'll probably go home."

'Really? It was a little while ago, but it was fun talking to you. Shall I give you directions to the mansion, if you like?

"Really? Then I'm asking you!

'No, then let's take a short cut. This way, sir.'

I said so and slowly followed the flying owl, hurrying back to the mansion.
