“Demibeasts?! ”

There are various races in the world.

While intelligent and populated humans occupy and dominate vast territories, xenophobic species existed in untapped territories and in wild areas where humans were difficult to live.

In other words, not only dragons and Wyverns, but also holy tribes such as Wigdrasil and Pegasus, ordinary monsters and beasts, as well as Demibeasts, were reported.

However, for the Demibeasts, it is not easy to witness them because they live quietly in rough wilderness and do not mix with humans.

The first time I saw the Desert Fox Demibeasts so openly that they only live in the desert, Baikal's expression was like a shrimp trapped in a frying garment.

“Ah! I've never seen them before! ”

“Idiot, you told me to hide first if I saw a stranger. ”

“No, you didn't have to do that in Alturke? ”

The children rushed out of the door excited to find Judas' group and stood still.

Then they came together to discuss the army's opinions, and in the meantime, the tail on the buttocks shook like a reed in front of the wind.

The wilderness fox children who were stumbling around found Turkey and shouted.

“Turkey!"

“Hey, what is it? It's okay if Turkey brought it. ”

Turkey shook her hands, fluttering towards the children who were hovering around like young puppies.

Even though it wasn't a very gentle reaction, the kids are coming! and surrounded the Mirror Spirit.

“It's close.”

In the crowd of Turkey's children, a handful of girls approached with their tails slammed.

It was a small girl who was barely tall enough to reach Judas' waist.

The child glances up at Judas with curious eyes.

The feet were covered with vodka cream fur instead of shoes, and the nails were hooked like animals.

Moreover, when I looked closer, I saw a long fox beard growing three by three on both sides of my nose.

“Who are you? Where are you from? Why are you here? Then..... ”

“Oh, my God, the question is so quick. ”

Glug

Judas bends his knees to the floor and meets the girl at eye level, without even dragging her toes to the floor.

The fox girl, who faced warm gold eyes, twitched her big fox ear.

“Why don't you ask one by one? Baby."

“…… I'm not a baby, my name is Leuhi. ”

“Yes, you are. I am Judas. I'm here to see Abel."

Ryuhi listened to Abel.

“To see Abel? So you're Abel's friend? ”

Judas replied with a small smile to the naive question.

“I'm Abel's school friend. ”

“Woe to you, you're in a panic. ”

A trembling voice came back from the back of Lühi.

Finally, Abel, who came out of school, fell on his knees, as if in front of him.

“I...! ”

“You're not studying. ”

The greeting that should lead to 'Your Majesty’ was cut off.

Judas reaches out to Abel, who falls on his knees with his arms extended as he meets the height of his eyes.

“That's enough for now. Abel."

“Ah.”

“How have you been? ”

Abel stood up shaking his hands less.

Abel Turke, who was twenty years old this year, grew up as a sturdy young man.

The old unstable body shape could not be found at all.

Well-trained muscles are located in every corner of the skin that burns with copper. In addition, Judas had to look up as he grew tall. Even larger than Edan, who was taller in the same age group.

Abel was completely different from what he had seen in the past during the Lubach academy when he was timidly shriveled and violent.

He now sleeps like his father, who was the leader of the brave Desert Tribe Turke.

The gray hair, which grew roughly up to the shoulder line like a lion's mane, scattered slightly in the dry desert wind.

“Yes! You have become a friend and teacher of Turke. ”

Abel's gray eyes were filled with bitterness.

He politely bows his head to Judas with clear, shining eyes.

“Good to see you, Lord. ”

Is that him? Umm ~ You grew up strong.

Horse stuttering habits are gone too!

"Yes, I used to care about that.

Judas was comfortably greeted, but the sentiments of war arose among the spirits.

The reactions of the spirits are not materialized, so Turkey rushes towards Abel and hangs around his neck.

Because of that, I looked like a brother and sister with quite an age difference.

“Well, I'll take you home first. ”

…… I guess I haven't fixed my stuttering yet.

I think I'm nervous now too. It was originally timid.

As Carney guessed, Abel panicked at an unexpected encounter and remained extremely nervous.

Demibeast children rather marvel at Abel's tense appearance and try to get to know him.

“I'm a friend. How can I be a teacher? ”

“I'm a friend. Why do you respect me? ”

“ ……. ”

Abel stood up in a cold sweat.

“I... I have something for you guys, so I'll explain it to you later. Go home. ”

“Yes.”

Fortunately, the Demibeast children followed Abel very well.

He sighs deeply as he looks at the back of the war-running children.

“…… As you can see, the Desert Fox Demibeasts are now residents of Turkey. ”

Abel took the lead and began to guide the streets of Alturke.

Most of the residents who roamed the streets as described were fox ears and tails.

In addition to differing physical characteristics, fox Demibeasts, such as those who were usually sensual and cognitive, kept the Turks in peace.

There were markets for buying and selling goods and welfare facilities such as schools and senators.

“That's unusual. How did you get in touch with them? ”

Edan, who looked around with his sharp eyes, answered Abel with a deep smile.

“I bumped into him, and the Desert Foxes were badly damaged while Turke was frozen, and by the time I got back here, they were all huffing and huffing. ”

“…… Did you accept the extortioned people as residents? ”

“Yes, I left my knife first and asked for a conversation. Fortunately, I think it's a problem that I can help with. ”

“Abel, I lie. I almost got bit by a fox back then. ”

I roughly explained it around, and Turkey pulled Holang out with a naive face.

Abel called Turkey in a grumpy voice in the wind, but it was already after Judas' interest.

“Hmm. Did you invite me to talk to you defenseless in front of the foxes with their teeth open? ”

“Oh, yes. Then it was already two years ago.. Even now, it was a more immature time. ”

“If it wasn't Turkey, you'd have seen the big deal. reckless.”

While saying tree, Judas smiles a little.

I sympathized with Turkey as if I had waited.

“Yes, reckless! Abel is more than a bar. Ignorant. Getting dumber. ”

“Turkey……. ”

During the uproar of the Mirror Spirit, Abel shouted at his forehead.

“That's how much you trusted your spirit, Turkey. The stronger you believe in your opponent, the dumber you become. ”

“You have faith, don't you? ”

“Yes, I think Abel is really trusting you. ”

Turkey blinks quietly and looks back at Abel.

Abel, faced with his spirit and eyes, laughed with shame.

“I mean, that's what I did wrong. It surprised Turkey a lot that day. ”

“But as a result, we are able to have a good relationship. Symbiosis with Demibeasts.The town is very lively and looking good. Congratulations, Abel. ”

“Thank you……. ”

Having heard the unexpected compliment, Abel returns to his former timidity and bows his head.

But instead of the old dwarfed boy, the group who saw the shy look of a loaf of bread looked at him with trembling eyes.

In the meantime, Sage opened his mouth by taking a quick look at the surrounding architecture.

“Are all those buildings built out of sand? It's awkwardly soft, but it's very firm. ”

“Oh, it's not just sand. ”

Sage, who heard Abel's answer, wondered.

“Huh? What sand is it, not just sand? ”

“It's a technique learned from the Desert Foxes, but there's a way to make sand suitable for architecture. Will you look over there?”

Abel pointed to a fence that appeared to be an agricultural plot.

Following his introduction, the group was close to the fence and almost ready for battle.

“Sandworm……! ”

“Queek. Week. ”

A huge shadow was occupying the sandfields.

Every word I said about a bull was thick, and the wrinkles and long trunks were buried in the ground, except for the tail, so I couldn't see the whole body.

It was the ‘Sandworm’, a monster that evokes a giant earthworm.

Overall, they were red red, not one or two, but ten or so individuals lived in the sand fields, even though they pretended to be red.

Abel hurriedly shakes his hand toward Edan, who raises his hand to the blackboard, looking at the large sandworm wrinkling his elongated trunk.

“Oh, no. The Sandworm is not a carnivorous monster. They eat stones and sand. Not only that, but also the grateful creatures that make the sand for architecture. ”

“Ha?”

Their head had a long, oval torn mouth with no eyes or nose.

In his mouth, sharp teeth came and peered, and in between, the split floor flew without rest.

The sandworms did not react to strangers' visits, but swallowed the sand hard.

Then he pushed out of the ground and spilled the white feces through his tail.

“Weeeeee.”

“ ……. ”

The sound of spitting feces was similar to the sound of people vomiting.

The knights' faces are subtly stiffened as they raise their hands from the weapon they twist.

As he approaches the whipping sandworms, Abel points to the white feces they spit out by hand.

“This is the sand that is used for building or for making tools. It's white without dust, and we call it" white-sand, "but it's an unpublished material in academia. ”

In general terms, the giant monster 'sandworm' emerging from the desert was a dangerous creature.

Much of the body is buried in the sand, making it difficult to predict its actual appearance and length. The envelope is covered in a sticky liquid, which slips and does not penetrate even the thickness of the skin.

And the speed of movement in the sand was faster than that of an eagle, which no one could catch up to in the desert.

When people saw their gruesome appearance and features that could not be easily caught, they called them Desert Monsters and hunted them down and tried to kill them or flee if they encountered the Sandworm.

So I never thought that this sandworm would have the purity to transform desert sand into precious materials.

“Whitesand, when hardened, often turns into a gem over time. It also doesn't have a full name, but it's beautiful in color and shape, and it's being processed as an accessory in Altuke. ”

Abel took a piece of angular gem out of his arms and showed it to him.

“This is the white ruby. ”
