I Can Speak with Animals and Demons

What are you guys doing in this place?”

I slam the floor of the carriag with my hand.

Currently I am aiming for a city where adventurers gather.

Four days of being swayed by a carriage. I’ve come this far from a small village.

I will arrive at Ether this afternoon.

And I can’t take goblins to a city full of adventurers. The moment they see them, they’ll be attacked by a bunch of mighty adventurers.

『Jed. How many adventureres are there in a party?』

Gigi who has his legs corssed asks me.

I’m getting bigger, but those guys are also getting bigger. It looks like they have some muscle.

“Hmm? Yeah? Two or three people. It seems like there are many parties of about four?”

『There are three of us. Together with Jed…』

『 『A four person party!』 』

“Ah! There’s no way I can team up with you! How will we get into the city! Isn’t this an adventurer’s town?”

When I scream loudly, the goblins cover their ears and look annoyed.

『Oh oh! ? Isn’t it something like that?』

『Isn’t it okay if I put on robes properly?』

Gigi and Zabu interject.

“No, because your skin is green.”

『Can’t we bandage our whole body?』

New adventurers who arrive at the city called Ether.

Its members are a human being and men in robes wrapped in bandages.

Suspicious, too suspicious.

That’s a method that can only be used once.

“I guess if you paint your whole body with skin color and cut off your ears.”

After that, if you hide it with clothes so that it does not become suspicious…

Your hands are a problem though.

『What are you talking about! Are you still human!?』

『I can’t believe that you want me to cut off my ears, they’re part of my charm…』

“It doesn’t matter what your charm comes from Beru.”

“Now!”

Beru is screaming, grabbing at my waist and calling out something.

Yes, recently he is very happy with his earring.

In fact, I keep silent about it, though it’s a cow’s nose ring. I won’t say anything because he likes it.

『If you dye Jed’s skin green then…』

“Zabu, do you want to say that if you change my skin color, I’ll become a goblin?”

『… I said no such thing.』

In the first place, just making four goblins makes no sense.

Abandon humanity and live as a monster, at 12 years old?

『Is Team Goblin’s journey that far away?』

Beru rolls around and looks at the sky while talking.

“The day when such a team is ready will never come. Also you guys, we’ll get to town soon, so get out.”

There were many adventurers waiting near the walls and departing for quests. A strong man who wears metal and leather armor walks dignifiedly with a large sword.

Some women are wearing a witch-like robe while carrying a wand, while others are wearing cloths like Amazones and minimal armor.

Does that waving cloth have a function as armor?

As expected, the city of adventurers is full of adventurers.

I start walking, observing the people in the city.

First, the adventurer’s guild.

So let’s get registered as an adventurer and find an inn.

Actually, this information was given to me by the merchant who let me board his carriage. It was good to have proper information.

The adventurer’s guild seems to be accesible by just entering and following the road, so there is no doubt that most adventurers are going that way.

Also, the goblins disappeared into the forest while cursing. It’s crazy to live near a city with so many adventurers.

But, well, I don’t think it’s easy for them to stick with me. Please don’t do anything strange…
