Chapter 27
“It sounds like a language and also like a curse...
I just can’t understand what it means,” he said.
“They say that linguists who have heard this voice often go mad,” he replied.
“Where was this supposed to be?”
Ludbrid asked with a serious expression, furrowing his brow.
“According to the report, it was in the deepest part of the dungeon,” the deity answered.
In this world, there were lairs inhabited by monsters.
They conveniently referred to those places as “dungeons.” It was unclear when they originated or how they were created.
They had existed since ancient times, and sometimes treasures or precious relics were hidden there, which is why the empire would go on campaigns to eradicate dungeons.
This was because, quite literally, dungeons were dens of monsters that bred there and often attacked the human realm.
If left alone, the monsters would endlessly multiply, so dungeons were designated as targets for eradication as soon as they were discovered.
Of course, even after destroying dungeons, new ones constantly emerged somewhere, and the number of monsters did not significantly decrease.
I am the 127th Elf lineage...Rude...to...>
The words dragged on.
Bunny tilted her head.
The stuttering voice was quiet but definitely reached Bunny's ears.
“Ruri, ancient Elphur is hard...”
“That’s right.
It is difficult.
But you need to learn this for the baby someday.
It will surely help later...
When the time comes that you can understand this, please let me know.
That will be the time for the baby to step up!”
Gasp.
Now!
Bunny understands!
It’s Bunny's turn to step up!
“Ahem.”
Bunny made a small sound and puffed out her chest.
However, no one paid her any mind.
“…Ahem.”
She made a sound again, but remarkably, no one gave her attention.
Bunny thought everyone would be looking at her, so she pouted for a moment before clenching her fists and opening her mouth.
“Please save us!”
Kyrie, who was lazily lounging with an indifferent expression while holding Bunny, paused.
Only then did everyone’s gaze turn toward Bunny.
Bunny shrank back slightly and clung a little closer to Kyrie.
Kyrie then held Bunny a bit tighter with his strong arms.
Bunny’s lips relaxed.
‘This is a good sign!
Ruri said that Gring is a knight!’
Bunny is indeed a genius.
“Did you just understand that!”
Ludbrid, who had been frozen, exclaimed in surprise, causing Bunny to jump.
Kyrie narrowed his eyes.
“I mentioned that I was surprised by the child,” he said.
“......”
Ludbrid, scolded by Kyrie, closed his mouth tightly.
It was understandable, as Bunny’s face had gone stiff.
“Cough.
I, I’m sorry.
I was surprised...
Cough.
Do you understand what this means?”
“Yes...”
Bunny replied in a small voice.
“What did they say?
Tell me.”
Bunny blinked at Klein Yudia’s words and tilted her head.
“Please save us.
We... are trapped... save us, okay?
I am the 127th Elf lineage Rude...to?”
Bunny diligently repeated the words that were continuously echoed.
With every word Bunny spoke, their eyes widened slightly, and eventually, a buzz began to rise with the mention of “Elf.”
“Elf?”
“Is it the ancient Elf language?!”
“Isn't it a race that has long been erased from history?!”
“A legendary race that suddenly went extinct one day, leaving most of its traces gone from the continent...
Are you saying it actually existed?”
“No, that this child...”
“Isn’t this amazing?”
“No, then does this mean that this language is the one used by the ancient Elves...?”
Sounds of disbelief began to circulate here and there.
Bunny let out a proud huff at the attention she was receiving.
Bunny is indeed remarkable.
“But how could this child know the ancient Elven language...?”
“...I see.
It could be a lie...”
“No, but isn’t it amazing that this child knows about the ancient Elves?”
While they were astonished, doubt began to rise in the eyes of the deities, as it was hard to believe.
Bunny sensed that feeling acutely and her eyes widened.
Gasp.
Will Bunny be treated as a liar?
“Could you tell us how you understood this?
Miss Bunny?”
One of the deities in priest clothing asked cautiously.
Bunny stiffened.
‘I can’t say it honestly.’
Heh.
As Bunny was thinking, she smiled brightly.
“Bunny, actually, I heard the voice of a stone.”
“...Huh?”
“How could a stone talk?”
“It’s a stone, so it seems like a lie...
Besides, it’s not even a living thing.”
As whispers began to rise, Bunny’s eyes spun around.
No one believes her.
“Sa...”
“Sa...?”
“Actually, the egg told me!
Zzing!
And my head was sparkling!
Boom boom!”
Bunny hurriedly recalled the black dragon—her thought—from her room.
“Oooh...!”
“I see.
It must have been thanks to the egg of the summoned divine beast.”
“Indeed...
You even made predictions in the past.
It seems that the egg of that divine beast is truly precious.”
Because a few of Bunny's predictions had indeed come true, the Yudia Duke family had recently been keeping a tight lid on even the smallest information.
However, those with keen perceptions knew that the recent internal focus was on the examination mansion.
Of course, under the direct family’s orders, they should not burden the young child, and coupled with the uncertainty that the divine beast's egg had not hatched yet, everyone was merely whispering about it.
There were even rumors that Kyrie Yudia, who usually didn’t take much action, had personally visited the Modern Trading Company and invested a significant amount in a business that had not received any investment, and that the stock was rising rapidly.
However, whether that was due to Bunny's help or not was still uncertain.
“Hmm... about that quail egg.”
“It’s an egg.”
Bunny quickly countered Klein’s words.
Klein’s eyes narrowed slightly at the child’s smart rebuttal.
“Is that so?”
He rubbed his chin and chuckled, then gently ruffled Bunny’s hair as she sat on Kyrie’s lap.
“Impressive.
If it’s true, isn’t that amazing, Father?
She deciphered the ancient Elven language.
There should be progress in deciphering the countless documents and ruins that were shrouded in mystery, as there are no properly remaining ruins.”
“So that’s all?
Nephew.”
Salarame Yudia smiled softly, and Bunny tilted her head.
“Um...”
Bunny squirmed, leaning halfway over the table, reaching for the crystal, and bringing it close to her ear.
“Our land is where the seeds are sown... um, it grows... it becomes a dungeon... and our territory becomes a maze.”
Crackle, crackle.
A loud noise started to mix in.
With a serious expression, Bunny furrowed her brows.
Moreover, holding the crystal for a long time was heavy, and her arms felt like they were going to drop.
Kyrie took the crystal and held it to Bunny’s ear instead.
“Will this work?”
“Yes!
Thank you.”
Bunny nodded and then bumped her forehead against the table.
“Ow!” Bunny made a small sound as she rubbed her forehead with her tiny palm.
Finally, after hearing the voice from the crystal, Bunny opened her mouth again.
