Act 5-39: Escape I[Side: Kobuza]

I might’ve fallen asleep after crying for too long. When I woke up, the big moon was already peeking from the window of my cell. Beneath such moonlight, the lattices made creaking sound as the door of my cell opened.

「E-Eh?」

Gobuza raised a confused voice. The key of the cell should be with the demon race who threw them into the prison. Rather, the entire lattice had literally vanished.

(Wake up!)

Gobuza shook his comrade who barely escaped death like him.

(Eh, the door is open?)

Gobumi, Gobuza’s childhoodfriend muttered quietly.

(Ah, we’ve to escape quickly with everyone!)

(That’s impossible!)

Seeing his childhoodfriend about to cry, he gently brushed Gobumi on the head and,

(Otherwise, we, the food won’t be killed until tomorrow!)

He looked around as he spoke to his comrades.

The reason Gobuza is still alive right now is simply because the “Monster” flesh has reached its limit. Even if they’re caught again, they won’t be killed until tomorrow. Though they might be beaten to pulp if the guard caught him, better try than not.

(Young master Gobuza is right. We’ve to escape.)

The old male hobgoblin agreed and then stood up too.

(Yeah, staying here means we’re going to die for sure. Since that’s the case, we’ve to bet on the chance to escape from this place…)

The young and muscular hobgoblin agreed.

That moment, all the hobgoblins in that underground prison clasped each other’s shoulders and walked toward the gate.
