Kidnapped to Another World

Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Morning of Day 14 since entering the gnome's warren;

We were all impressed by what we were seeing. Go figure I'd never seen this coming.

We had all gotten up a bit extra early when we heard and felt the others around us getting excited. Both the people in our survivor group and the gnomes had a steady stream of people heading to the front entrance.

It seems a gnome scout had confirmed that the dwarven caravan was set to arrive today. We found ourselves incredibly hopeful about how the dwarves and their civilization might be. I had a thousand questions for them.

Everyone's hopes are up but for different reasons each.

What were their cities like?

Did they also have magic?

Can they help us?

Do they have tools or access to things that can make our lives better?

Were they really inventors and craftsmen like mythology seemed to portray them as?

Were their cities fortified and well defended?

Would they take in humans without enslaving us?

Those are the types of things our survivor group is asking each other. The others voiced their thoughts throughout the day like this.

"Shun, do you think the dwarves can help us?" Rina asked.

"I hope so," I replied. "We have to figure out if we can trust them first."

"I was wondering how good their weapons and armor were compared to others?" Asakura asked me.

"That would be wonderful," Yumi said.

"That's an interesting possibility," I acknowledged.

"I hope they have some decent clothes too," Asakura said, leaning closer to me so that the others might hear her.

"I don't know you look really good in tight skimpy frayed outfits," I teased.

"Oh I do, do I?" She pretended to be mad, but she was actually happy we were together.

She ended up talking about going on another date with me together later on, while we watched the dwarves coming in.

Hmm, the future isn't so bad then. I was kind of getting used to this place and not living with electricity. I was lucky to be surrounded by beautiful women too. So far things were looking up.

Rina's face looks clouded. Is it because she likes being here more? Or maybe she likes us being together in a secluded environment. I hadn't thought she'd be like this.

Yumi seems really quiet right now. I'm not sure why.

So now we were all at the front entrance. We would have been here anyway to reinforce and guard the big hole in the gate though. Fortunately the hole was above the height of the ground at the top, so only a creature that could jump like ten feet height and climb walls could use it very well without siege equipment.

But it was still a fair sized hole. Just seeing it there made us nervous.

Why hadn't the gnomes tried to cover it yet at least?
