Chapter 14: Language

‘Ahh… Last night was really great.

The snowy fields of Seolsan were still filled with the corpses of monsters.

The carnage festival with Bugles was perfection itself.

Especially since I even got Mikel’s trait!

I gave the final hit experience to Bugles and only drank blood, but my level went up by 12.

The levels of many skills also went up a lot, and the honey evolved into delicious honey.

Yeah, it tastes even better.

Intimidation – Mentally suppresses the target.

Oh, and I also got a new skill after the holy war.

What a XXX-colored spirit!

I used it on Bugles as soon as I got it, and it was very satisfying how he pecked me as soon as he was hit by the spirit.

Can I keep getting such cool skills?

Red Fog, Red Moon, Intimidation.

Is my master falling in love with me?

“Hehehe!”

While dreaming of forbidden love, a butterfly blushed after eating honey.

A bug blushing even more.

‘Don’t peek!”

These guys have gotten smarter since I first saw them…

Is it because the bugs’ levels have increased a lot since the last night’s holy war?

The bugs that were around level 30 have now reached level 50.

They hunted together, but it’s only natural since they killed thousands of monsters.

“Shall we go watch the bugs?”

Next to them, the Isis flies were fluttering.

Except for the butterfly, whose face was still blushing.

This sound is already so affectionate.

At first, I thought it was disgusting, but my mind has changed like this.

‘Let’s see…

A crystal beetle with a shell that sparkled like crystal was rolling around in the snow.

It rolled around as if it was building a snowman.

Looking at it like this, it was hard to believe that it was a monster.

‘A moth… Ohh…

Frost Moss, with wings decorated with frost crystals, was making something out of snow crystals.

He looked as serious as an artist.

What are you guys doing…?

Frost hornets with ice needles were threatening each other.

Are they fighting over the queen bee?

Who’s going to die like this?

…No, wait a minute.

This isn’t a fight, this is training.

Ants.

Wow…

Hyperborean ants, like white snowflakes, were marching in perfect formation.

My heart ached as I looked at their neat appearance.

Hmm! You are my personal guard!

Just as I was about to check on the new bugs, a new presence was picked up on the detection radar.

“Huh? What is it?”

Several presences were moving at the edge of the radar.

Maybe it was because it was still far away, but it wasn’t the presence of a monster.

‘Could it be… a human!?

My heart raced.

This is the first time I’ve seen a human!

No, not the first time.

I’ve seen the human form of my master.

But this is a real human!

☆☆ [Brian] Human LV41
☆☆ [Kevin] Human LV36
☆☆☆ [Arthur] Human LV96
☆☆☆ [Hapel] Human LV92
☆☆ [Lien] Human LVBS
‘Level 96!? My hero was level 83!”
☆☆ [Marianne] Human LV38
★☆☆ [Oldin] Human LV88

Was my hero a slacker!

‘More importantly, have I seen them in a game…?”

I tried hard to remember.

But unfortunately, they were faces I didn’t recognize.

For me, who had only leveled up to 5 stars, getting 2 or 3 stars was like going to the warehouse.

‘I should have looked at them one by one… No, in the first place, they might not have been characters that appeared in the game.

“Huh? That’s… The woman named Marianne was wearing priestly attire.

Judging from the sparkling holy symbol around her neck, she was a believer of Lord Mikel!

‘Mikel’s followers! Blood comrades!’

The joy was short-lived, as the bugles began to ooze murderous energy.

“No! Absolutely not!”

I quickly fed the butterflies honey.

Those people must never be touched!

That woman in particular is a believer of Mikel!

As the butterflies relayed the order, the bugles’ murderous energy subsided.

Phew, this was close.

The humans got closer and closer, and arrived at a place where corpses were strewn about.

Soon, their expressions hardened in an instant.

“What… Are you so scared?”

They looked completely frightened at our bugles.

I don’t understand.

They’re so cute…

The humans’ expressions hardened even more.

This can’t go on.

We need another way.

“Yes! Why don’t we learn the language while we’re at it!”

It was so frustrating not being able to understand what they were saying.

I was able to convey my will with the flower honey, but that was a one-way street.

Why don’t we learn from those humans!

‘Aide! Bring those humans here!”

The Isis Flies gracefully spread their wings and circled around the humans.

As expected, our butterflies really understand what we say.

At that time, Lien pulled the bowstring at the butterflies.

‘Eek! Does that thing want to die!?’

Before I could step forward, the Bugles all let out their murderous intent.

The hundreds of humans cowered by the murderous intent became quiet and followed the butterflies to me.

“_*“

What the.

The humans looked at me with blank expressions.

Did they fall for my fantastic beauty?

“OO… Mikel☐☐…☐☐☐☐ Mikel☐☐ ☐☐☐☐☐

Huh? Mikel-nim?

“000!?”

“O?”

“O?”

“000000”☐ ☐☐☐ Mikel☐☐☐☐☐☐ 0000

When Marianne said something, the other humans were startled.

What the.

That human felt Mikel-nim’s energy from me, but you don’t believe it?

“Where can you find a believer as devout as me!”

She has two of Mikel’s traits, she’s a total saint!

I have to punish those insolent guys.

“You’re the intimidating type!”

As I unleashed the intimidating, XX-colored aura, the humans’ faces turned pale and their bodies trembled.

In particular, the clanking sound of Hapel’s greatsword was quite musical.

As I watched the humans muttering in fear, I felt that I had become stronger.

“You need to know the topic!”

Since they seemed to have become docile, it was time to feed them honey and convey my will.

Now focus.

Language! Tell me!

I didn’t want to touch those bastards and feel their pistils, so I produced plenty of honey without even touching my fingertips.

“Then, eat it now!”

I raised a root and pointed to my honey.

Then, like an old wizard, Oldin started muttering and explaining something great.

“Aah! What am I feeding you? It’s just delicious flower honey!”

“Delicious Flower Honey” – More delicious flower honey is produced.

Look! As if they noticed my anger, the Bugles threatened the humans all at once.

Wow. It worked even without eating honey.

Did their bond deepen that much?

Now, the humans have really become docile.

No, they were bickering over who should eat first, and Marianne came over and prayed.

“You’re both followers of the same Master Mikel!?”

It seemed like you didn’t trust me enough.

At first, I decided to save you after seeing you.

This is really too much.

Marianne, who ate my honey, quickly became ecstatic.

The others ate one after another and looked the same.

No, your intentions weren’t conveyed?

Why are you just savoring them!

In that moment, the humans’ expressions changed.

They were extremely surprised and bewildered.

‘Flowers can want to learn to speak!”

This is what it means to be human.

Do you know the sorrow of not being able to understand your master’s words?

The humans looked at each other and started talking again.

Are you worrying about how to teach them?

“☐☐☐☐☐☐0_*”

More incomprehensible words.

No, wait a minute.

The bugles were moving strangely.

“Huh?”

Everyone was tilting their heads and listening to the humans.

As if… they were trying to understand?

“Michel☐☐ DO.”

Huh?

An Isis fly fluttered its wings slightly.

That… understood the word Michel?

“You guys… No way…”

As soon as I created a drop of honey, a butterfly swooped in.

And the will was conveyed.

The butterfly… laughed.

How can an insect laugh?

I saw it.

That bastard definitely snickered!

You guys, you’ve been understanding human language all along!?

This time, several butterflies swooped in and licked the honey.

I was convinced when I saw them fluttering their wings in embarrassment.

No, this can’t be happening!

I’ve been so frustrated I could die…

My aides, my cute butterflies…!

Traitors!

The butterflies ran away all at once.

Come back!

“…”

The humans looked at me with puzzled expressions.

Oh, right.

Now is not the time for that.

‘Ahem.’

I felt embarrassed, as if I had been humiliated in front of the insects.

But I realized something from this.

If the butterflies can do it, so can I.

“Okay, let’s start again.”

I turned my head toward Marianne.

“If you are a follower of Mikel, you will teach me well, right?”

Marianne opened her mouth again.

This time, she pointed to the symbol on her chest.

And slowly, step by step.

“Mar-ri-Anne.”

Huh?

“Marianne.”

No, I know your names because of the status window!

Not that!

I pointed to the sky with my roots.

“D-0”

“Huh?”

“Ha-neul.”

Once again!

“Sky.”

Marianne spoke clearly, pointing to the sky like I did.

And this time, she scooped up the white snow at her feet and pointed.

“Snow.”

Ah! A word!

That’s what I wanted!

Will each of them match the sky and snow!?

The flower petals sparkled with anticipation.

The bugles leaned in all at once.

The first words…

Are we finally learning the other world’s language?

I felt my heart pounding.

Of course, it was a virtual heart that only existed in my head.

Could I understand my master’s words now?

Ahh… How long I’ve waited for this moment…
