SO I'M A SNAKE, WHO CARES?

“Ah, Lilahaus…”

Lilah named herself like that.

It’s utterly disappointing.

I had actually prepared a fake identity for Lilah in advance.

The Great Forest might be one thing, but it’s too dangerous for two monsters to wander around this treacherous Empire.

We needed a human identity.

Occupation: wandering knight.

A person of few words.

And the name: Arseus.

I had specially chosen a cool name.

But because Lilah unwittingly blurted out her real name, it became this unfunny name “Lilahaus.”

I thought the coachman would laugh at it too, but.

“Ah, that’s a manly and cool name.”

“Shocking!”

Calling a lady manly.

When I got angry, the coachman fell on his backside.

“S-snake!”

“Don’t worry…”

Lilah helped the coachman up.

“Good, snake.”

Since the benefactor who saved him said so, the coachman had no choice but to nod.

“My name is Jalo. I am the servant of Knight Danpuan.”

“A moment, ago you said you were a knight…”

The coachman’s face turned bright red.

“I-in order to threaten the bandits…”

“Hmm…”

It was a situation where a servant had to impersonate a knight.

Servant Jalo apologized for what happened earlier.

For ignoring us and passing by.

“I apologize for earlier… I had someone I was escorting.”

“Someone you were escorting?”

Well, he did shout, “Do you know who’s riding in this carriage!” just before.

Although when the bandits asked who it was, he couldn’t answer.

Sure enough, Jalo hesitated.

“Um… well…”

That’s when.

The small window of the carriage slid open.

“Where are you headed?”

Though I couldn’t see who was speaking, at least the voice was beautiful.

Would it be an exaggeration to say that it felt both bold and dignified, conveying both a courageous nature and good education at the same time?

Lilah glanced at me and then answered.

“Village, somewhere we can get food.”

“Then this works out well.”

The carriage door opened.

“Let’s ride together. We were already heading to the Avand domain.”

Since she said “domain” instead of “city,” it must be a noble’s territory.

“M-miss!”

The servant was flustered.

Is it a problem to share the carriage even with someone who saved your life?

She must be from quite a distinguished family.

“Jalo, don’t be petty to someone who saved our lives.”

“I would have handled it myself…”

“Liar.”

That was undoubtedly a lie.

What was inside the carriage was a girl who didn’t even look like an adult yet.

Her skin was very fair, and her hair was a mystical deep crimson.

If compared to a flower, a rose would suit her.

Perhaps if I were a human male, I might have been enchanted right away.

That’s how beautiful she was.

“Then… excuse me.”

“Shocking.”

But on this side are a female gorilla and a white snake.

Lilah squeezed herself into the not-so-spacious carriage.

“Wow, you’re really big.”

“Thank youu…”

I advised Lilah mentally.

From now on, try to end sentences with “I,” “indeed,” or such.

That would maintain the wandering knight concept.

Jalo, who had returned to the coachman’s seat, shouted loudly.

“We’re departing! We need to reach the domain before sunset!”

And the carriage set off.

“Where did you come from, Sir Lilahaus?”

Come to think of it, this girl didn’t introduce herself.

She’s a smooth character to the point where that doesn’t feel strange.

Lilah thought for a moment.

She can’t say the Great Forest, of course.

She pointed in one direction with her finger.

“Where is that…?”

“East.”

At that, the girl laughed brightly.

“You have a sense of humor. And here I thought you looked so scary.”

“Do I… look scary?”

“Yes, you could take off your helmet if you want.”

When Lilah tried to remove her helmet, I thumped it.

“…No, this is comfortable.”

If she took off her helmet, the girl would surely scream.

“Weren’t you just about to take it off?”

“No.”

“What’s this snake?”

“Great… friend.”

“Great friend?”

“It means, good friend.”

“Why do you talk like that?”

Unlike her dignified appearance, the girl was quite talkative.

Lilah was sweating profusely to maintain the solemn tone I had requested.

“I am hungry.”

“Would you like something to eat?”

“Meat.”

“I don’t have meat… oh, I have sausages.”

Then she pulled out a basket from under the carriage seat.

When she removed the white cloth covering it, thick sausages were revealed underneath.

“Would you like some?”

“Thank you.”

Lilah handed me a sausage first.

A loyal subject indeed. I swallowed the sausage in one bite.

The girl’s eyes sparkled.

“Please, eat.”

“…What is it?”

She seemed to be expecting something.

Ah, she must think Lilah needs to remove her helmet to eat.

But that won’t happen.

Click.

When Lilah manipulated her helmet, only the part around her mouth opened.

Lilah instantly devoured a whole sausage.

“Wow, you eat so fast.”

She clapped her hands.

Lilah covered her face guard again.

“You’re not as handsome as I thought.”

Does it show just from seeing the lips?

Well, they are gorilla lips.

“Why?”

But Lilah seemed a bit shocked.

“Pardon?”

“Am I ugly?”

“Um, your lips…”

It was a rudeness that could be committed by a girl who wasn’t even an adult yet.

When Lilah was flustered, the girl seemed even more surprised.

“Your lips are thin…?”

Lilah answered lightly.

“Mm, it’s genetic.”

“Ahaha!”

She burst out laughing.

Neither I nor Lilah knew what was so funny.

“You’re really an interesting person.”

I felt a sense of discomfort.

Why is Lilah communicating so well with this young human girl…

I never had such experiences.

Is this feeling of self-loathing my fault?

I can’t stand it.

‘Lilah, I’ll do the talking from now on.’

‘Was I a bit strangeee?’

‘Yes, you were strange. So just say what I tell you to.’

‘Sorry, I’ll do thaat.’

After saying that in my mind, I tried to intervene in the conversation.

“So where are you headed, Sir Lilahaus?”

“Wherever, the wind leads.”

“…?”

An uncomfortable silence briefly flowed.

Since it wasn’t a joke, it’s natural she wouldn’t laugh.
