Chapter 267 - 266 - They Are Stronger Than Ordinary Animals. (1/2)
”Isn't she a normal person? The guards said something like that a little while ago.”
”Then you should have thought again before you brought her into the house.”
”Mom, don't talk like that.”
”Haaaa~~ Hey, little girl, what are you doing here?” Maukil's mother looked at Meduz and waited for an answer.
Then Meduz let go of Maukil's hand and sighed.
”I'm not a child like Maukil is thinking, I'm already older than all of you. And about me needing help, it's true. I'm lost, that's not a lie.”
”I could already imagine that you were not a child, but it is a bit shocking to know that you are so old looking like that.”
”Don't worry, I'll change.”
”Whatever... But I still can't believe you're lost. Are you by any chance not from this country?”
”Exactly, when I arrived here I went up the mountain hoping to find a town, but found nothing but snow and cold, so I decided to go down. That's where Maukil and Drog found me.”
”I see. Okay, I've made up my mind.”
”What are you going to do, Mom? Don't think about doing anything strange or that will harm Meduz. So far she hasn't done anything, I trust her.”
”Don't worry, I'll prepare a map for her. After that, promise you'll leave.”
”Sure, I will do that.”
”Mom!” Hearing this Maukil approached his mother and tried to talk to her, but his mother ignored him and the one who called him was Meduz.
He seemed a little irritated, so Meduz tried to calm him down.
”Don't worry, it wasn't in my plans to stay here for long.”
”But...”
”I told you not to worry, it's good that your mother will make the map for me because I don't trust you very much.”
”How rude.”

After another two hours, Maukil and Drog's father had also arrived home.
He was muscular, tall, and also quite handsome-looking.
'He looks like those gate guards.' Meduz thought as she analyzed his muscles.
Like Maukil's mother, the first thing he did was to ask why Meduz was there. Unlike his wife, he had heard about Meduz from other guards, but he could not imagine that she would be in his house.
And acting oppositely to his wife, he received Meduz very well.
And sometime later the map had been completed.
”All right, here it is. If you want to use the table to open the map, I wouldn't mind.”
”I don't have to. So I guess I'll leave.”
”Right.”
”Wait, you're going already? It'll be dark soon, I'm sure you won't be able to stand the cold.” Maukil said worriedly.
Then his father approached Meduz and bent down, looking at her.
”Don't worry about what my wife says, she's a bit temperamental sometimes. You can stay here until tomorrow morning, after that you can leave.”
”But...”
”I wouldn't feel right about letting you leave now.”
”It's still the afternoon, it will be a long time before it gets dark...” Meduz smiled bitterly at the two of them.
”Pfft~~” Drog who was standing next to them let out a laugh when that happened, and Maukil and his father were at a loss as to how to respond.
They just wanted Meduz to stay longer.
”Let's stop this, you can leave now. And try not to come back, all right? I'm sure you'll be a problem if you stay here.” Maukil's mother said coldly as she looked at Meduz.
'This woman didn't like me, maybe she has some trauma with demons? Whatever...'
”Okay, I will leave now.” Meduz smiled and then walked to the front door accompanied by Maukil.
”Thanks for the coat, it will be a great help.”
”No problem. Be careful with the mountain, it is a bit dangerous. Unfortunately, I can't accompany you, my mother would be very angry.”
”Don't worry, see ya.”
”See ya.”
Meduz walked through the ogre village while being watched, but she just put on the hood of her coat and kept walking.
Arriving at the gate, the same guards who welcomed her were also the ones who opened the gate for her to leave. The guard who liked to her was quite upset at her departure.
