Volume 7, Chapter 13: In the North, Part 2, Part 1

“Is this the Dwarven Nation…?”

Well, it’s definitely a country with Dwarves in it . Looking from left to right all you can see are Dwarves .

It may be better to think of this nation as more of a grouping of several villages . It’s said that there are about 10,000 people here, so it’s just a little bigger than a village .

Apparently, this is a dungeon .

Now, you may ask that if everyone here knows about the existence of a dungeon, why do the surrounding human areas recognize the city dug out by dwarves .

The answer is, it’s horrible for PR . If I didn’t know what it was, I would think that it was something Dwarves would dig out normally .

Isn’t it illegal to occupy a dungeon? But maybe if they don’t want to kill off the dungeon keeper, it might not be too bad .

Even then…

“You’re seeing it . ”

“Definitely seeing it . ”

“We’re here~ . ”

Tina and Nea enthusiastically responded to my mutters .

The village set on the surface serves the role of a front door, so if you look around, there are humans to be seen .

Still, even here a group of girls dressed as maids and knights appearing without taking a carriage caused a ruckus as everyone stared at us .

“Anyway, don’t Dwarves look too similar to each other?”

The only difference to be seen was between Dwarven man and women .

The lady Dwarves, like Corona, are all “Lolis . ” The children are just smaller in stature .

The elderly are only distinguished by the ‘old person’ atmosphere around them… but their appearance is about the same . Maybe if you look hard you can see wrinkles or something .

Maybe Corona is actually normal?

Even though the guild master looked about ten or twelve years old, I was sure that she was past 30, but now 50 wouldn’t be surprising .

Anyways, just as the women were all lolis, the men all seemed like old men .

The physique of beards was present, just like the “Dwarves” in a fantasy setting, but they didn’t at all look like the same species as the lolis .

“Maybe if they lost their beards they’d look younger . ”

“Do you want to try and see?”

I tried not to think about the conversation I heard between Tina and Nea, but at their gaze, the male dwarves in the area swiftly backed away .

Although, this still didn’t reduce the number of looks we were getting .

I’m in my usual black silver-lined dress, which at the moment is sitting at a length just above my ankles, so maybe I look like I’m from a n.o.ble family?

“U-umm…”

“What is it?”

As a lone Dwarf girl (Loli) spoke to me, I gave her a smile so as not to intimidate her .

“Are you in need of a healer?”

“Eh…?”

Following her gaze, Daichi and Futa were laying on the ground motionless with their eyes rolled back, right where we had left them .
