The Male Leads Are Trapped in My House

“Uh?”

“It’s people.”

The other side also seemed quite bewildered upon noticing us.

Cecil and I took a few more steps forward.

“…Hello.”

To avoid looking threatening, I slid my axe into the holster on my back. Cecil also secured his revolver in his gun holster.

People stared at Gobung with fascinated expressions, but Leonardo was met with wary gazes. To reassure them, I deliberately climbed onto Leonardo’s back, showing them he wasn’t dangerous.

“They’re my pets. It’s fine.”

That seemed to pique their curiosity, and they started approaching us with intrigue.

“Where are you from?”

“I’ve never seen someone keeping a wolf and a turtle as pets. Especially in times like these.”

“What an unusual combination.”

The people commented one by one, marveling at my pets.

They didn’t seem to recognize that Cecil was the crown prince of this country.

If they didn’t subscribe to newspapers or care about the royal family, it made sense.

I wasn’t sure if this was fortunate or unfortunate, but for now, I got straight to the point.

“I came here because I heard the sound of a virus monster. Did you happen to hear anything?”

A quick glance showed there were four people in the cave. The place where they were resting only had some clothes and backpacks scattered about. It seemed like they had come into the cave just for a temporary stay, much like us.

“A virus monster…?”

The moment I asked, they began to stir anxiously. They really had no idea. The way they trembled in fear and debated whether to leave the cave told me as much.

“We came from the cave entrance, and we didn’t see anything on the way here. But I swear I heard the sound of a virus monster…”

Strange. How could people further inside not have heard it?
