CHAPTER 48 – SHIN● NO KYOJIN
We cross the sea and finally arrive at the Demon Continent.
It has been around ten days since we left the Mermaid Village.
It was a pleasant trip only thanks to the RV.
We were attacked by many sea monsters on the way.
By the way, it looks like some kind of accident happened in the Mermaid Village, but I can’t remember for some reason.
I wonder if I removed my memories with〈Pinnacle of Memory〉?
I might have seen something that I didn’t want to remember.
Ah, well. But, the mermaid-sans boobs are perfectly stored within my mind.
「Dem, con~t!」
When we arrive at the Demon Continent, Filia jumps onto the beach and shouts innocently.
We get off right after her.
「This is the Demon Continent……? I thought it would be more rough-looking place, but it isn’t much different from over there」
「You think so too……」
Certainly, it looks just like an ordinary beach.
「Ah. Isn’t that a person over there?」
I look where Tira pointed at and see a shadow of a person.
Sudden first encounter with society.
Noticing us, they start approaching us.
「…… Rather, aren’t they too big?」
I notice the not ordinary size when they approach.
Just by walking normally, zun, zun, loud footsteps resound.
「Huge」
「Wa~ So laaar~ge!」
「tte, that’s too big!? Aren’t they at least 10m1 tall!?」
Ellen shouts in amazement.
Before long, a huge person over ten meters tall came over to the beach.
「I see. This fellow is the Demon Continent’s famous Giant」
I nod while looking up at the Giant’s face.
It’s whole body densely covered in thick hair with a face resembling a gorilla.
Its intelligence seems rather low.
「Pet~?」
「No, that is gross so it can’t be a pet?」
As usual, Filia’s standards for a pet are a mystery.
By the way, according to〈Pinnacle of Information〉,
「Giants inhibit various places of the continent, they don’t attack monsters and animals, for some reason they attack only Mazoku and Humans」
A real life Shin● no Kyojin.
But, on the contrary, the Mazoku hunt them and eat them. Rather, it’s enough to be considered a staple food of Mazoku.
It doesn’t look too appetizing, though.
「Oh, this one is a male…… tte, its donger is ridiculously huge! Hey, Ellen, look at that!」
「Don’t point that out! Even though I was trying hard to not notice it!」
Ellen’s face turns bright red in front of the Giant.
「This isn’t the time to be saying such things! It turned towards us and started running!」
The giant started running before I noticed.
It probably recognized us as food. Its donger is dangling.
「Maa, leave it to me」
I kick the beach and start running.
I draw a sword from my waist and infuse a great amount of fighting spirit into the blade.
I plunge towards the Giant,
「Ooo!」
Sweep.
The slashing attack of my sword bisected the Giant’s left foot. The beach got stained with fresh blood.
「~~~~!?」
The big body who lost support on one side collapses onto the beach. A cloud of sand whirls up.
The Giant groans in pain and violently wriggles, but.
「Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!」
It abruptly let out a tremendous war-cry.
「Wh, what is this……?」
「M, my eardrums are going to burst……」
「…… Too loud」
「I hear Ki~in in my ears」
Everyone hold their ears and frown.
I answer after finishing the Giant off.
「It probably called its friends」
「Eh?」
And then, an unusual phenomenon starts happening in less than a minute.
Zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun.
Zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun.
Zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun, zun.
Loud footsteps from many places.
Before long, Zudodododododododododo, starts shaking. Ellen’s boobs are also shaking.
Did lots of Giants start gathering after hearing its friend’s death cry?
「Hey, isn’t this bad……?」
「Lots of bii~iig ones!」
Ten Giants in total.
The smallest one is 5m2 tall. The biggest one is probably around 30m3 tall.
As expected of Demon Continent.
What a wonderful welcome.
◇ ◇ ◇
After blasting the Giants with some Ultra Grade Magic, we set on the way in the RV again.
The beach completely changed to a scenery with sparse trees, it’s a complete wasteland as far as I can see.
The objective is a city called Janyuraba under the West Maou’s rule. I bit my tongue……
There, Beast Mazoku――different from demihumans, they look like bipedaling beasts――are living in great numbers.
Because there are many inhabitants of different races who emigrated there, there will probably don’t turn us away.
Before long, an enormous monolith in the middle of the wasteland comes to sight.
Speaking of monoliths, On Earth, the Australian Ayers Rock(Uluru)4 is the most famous, but this far exceeds its size.
An oval shape of about 15km5 in diameter.
Its height approaching Sky Tree6 with its 600m.
The city Janyuraba is located on top of that super huge rock.
One could say it’s a natural fortress, but Mazoku soldiers fighting something at the bottom of the rock can be seen.
「…… These fellows, they are like annoying pests……」
It’s Giant-sans.
