chapter 44

[You know of someone who can read these characters?]

[There was once someone who was used to be called “The Witch of Taboos”. Have you heard of that name before?] (T/N: …kinki no majo, pfft.)

[No.]

A witch, huh…

[I heard that she was driven away from where she used to live because they see her as a dangerous individual. She possess a really vast knowledge regarding the taboos in this world.]

That’s why there’s the word “Taboos” in her name, huh.

But with the way she’s saying it, this information must have been a rumor.

I can’t make a decision just based on a rumor.

Though I say that, this should still be a valuable clue that I could hold on.

[If I want to see her, where should I go?]

[Do you know of the Great Ruins?]

[First time I’ve heard of it.]

[It is said that she lives somewhere in this Great Ruins.]

[Didn’t she ever settle down in one place?]

[She didn’t. Well, I’ve heard no rumors of her settling down.]

[Is it far from here?]

[If you went to the north, you can reach it. It’s just that—]

The woman stops as if the words were stuck on her throat.

It’s just things that she has heard of, too.

There’s a low chance that those rumors were true.

[I think it would be difficult to meet the witch.]

[The reason is?]

[The Great Ruins was also known as the “Golden Demon Zone”.] (T/N: Kin-sei Ma Guntai)

Unfamiliar words keep on popping out one after another.

Well, it’s obvious.

I have no knowledge of this world.

So, almost everything I hear of are fresh words that I don’t know the meaning of.

There are some aspects that I can’t help thinking about but…

There are too many words that I had learn for the first time that I need to remember.

It’s like all these information were flowing through a muddy stream which ends up in my brain.

I’ll make sure to sort the out one by one later when I have some free time.

[From it’s name, I take it that this area is inhabited by various monsters?]

[Yes. It’s a danger zone that’s right in the middle of this continent.]

[I see.]

So, the witch has hidden there huh…

An area which was designated as a danger zone.

It seems that everyone on this continent know that by how she said it.

On the other hand though, that place is really a great place if someone want to hide away from the eyes of the world.

[I understand. Thank you for the valuable information that you had given me.]

I glance at the gauge.

The

A faint smile floated up on my lips.

[Like I said, I had been telling you that you don’t need to feel so responsible. Don’t worry, I won’t leave my partner here alone.]

The pink-colored Pigimaru rubbed against my foot.

[Pyiii~♪ Kyuiiii….♪]

For the time being, I guess everything seems to be fine.
