I met with Behemt the Magic Girl Madness on the way home.

We were at the stables of the Ice Dragon (Ice Dragon) on the edge of the King's Capital in Brizaria.

Sip tea around a round table in the giant's living space in the corner of the stables.

Ticky, a gentle grinning giant, entertained me.

I had a little temper, so I was trying to gather information.

- in terms of whether you can make my followers in this Brizarria.

It is important to increase the number of believers and gain strength to defeat the Demon King.

I was wondering if I could increase it even in Brizarria because I came here because of it.

Titty says as she puts the cookies on the table.

"If this is okay with you, too. It was baked a long time ago."

"Don't put that out on customers... no, it's cold every day, so it's hard to rot"

"Yeah, it is. Anything lasts here. It's gonna be tough for people to live."

Ticky sits at a round table. It's next to me.

"So, how'd it go? That grandfather."

"There's still something I might do."

"There's nothing in trouble. I wish you'd go somewhere before everyone gets back."

Ticky shrugs her wide shoulders and smiles. He had a frightening but gentle voice.

I'll joke about it.

"But it's a god, isn't it? If I respect you, it might be in your interest, right?

"It was. But we're already on time."

"Well, that's humble... no, you said you didn't need wealth or honor"

"If you have a house and rice and clothes that you can just live with, that's fine"

- Very objective idea, is this just Ticky?

Maybe all the frost giants won't be abnegated.

That makes it harder to increase the number of believers.

Celica speaks slowly and thoughtfully.

"If you save, can you deal with it when you're in trouble?

"A little bit. Something that becomes contentious if you ask too much. Besides, I have friends when I'm in trouble."

Ticky looked out the window.

Little ice dragons of stature were playing in the large garden. Probably a child.

I was asking even though I wasn't sure.

"Is Ice Dragon Your Friend"

"Can't those kids raise their kids? Physically. A child born is frozen because he just chills around. I could only grow up about one in a hundred, originally. We're raising it for you."

"In return?

Ticky couldn't stop smiling, but replied with a serious voice.

"We have to be cold to live. I wouldn't be able to get out of Brizarria if I were supposed to. But with those kids by my side, I can get far without ice."

"I see... Ask them to transport you to a hot region instead of raising children. coexistence and prosperity?"

"Sometimes we fight, but we're close. Because I know we need each other to live. If I had a lifetime friend, I wouldn't need any money or honor. You think there's more treasure in this world than friends?

"That's a lovely life."

Did Ticky feel the attitude she could afford because she has a friend who can keep her life?

Are you saying that the Frost Titans are also exclusive because they are already filled?

- Then it seems difficult to increase my followers.

You can't just take this steady life because of me.

Celica says in a sigh.

"I don't know... I'm so proud of the Frost Giants. Getting along with others is easy, but you can't make friends for life."

"Even if you look poor, Frost Giant's country is blessed. That's why I don't talk to wealthy but unfulfilled people. Somewhere in your heart you must miss someone who wants money or honor. You're not so much."

"You did...... indeed, I may be filled now. But even the Kaikas."

Ticky stared at me, Megna, and Lapisia with big eyes.

"What do you think? The other three feel like they want so much, though."

Meña answers in a relaxed manner.

"I don't need anything else, Kaika, if you have a brother"

"But you want all of him, don't you?

"Ugh..."

Stuck in words, Megna turned that way openly. Like a mischievous cat.

Suddenly Lapisia raises her thin hand.

"Yes! Lapisia wants more! Because I want to be like your mother!

"Maybe it's a good thing kids are greedy. Kids can be anything. Because it's a mass of possibilities."

"Wow!"

You won't know what she really meant until you grow up, Rapisia laughed and rejoiced with cookies on her cheeks.

Ticky was stroking Lapisia's head like a jerk, then taking a bite to eat around her mouth.

Answer honestly while thinking about a breakthrough.

"I... yeah. You'd want it more than anyone else. It's just that neither money nor honor is just a means to an end."

Gain many believers and become God in both fame and fame.

I'm going to do anything for it.

Even the Frost Giants will be my followers.

"Alas. Isn't that the purpose of defeating the Demon King?

"For me, that's one of the means. I have a sincere wish."

My words are true and true.

Ticky nodded as she had a cold cup of tea.

"It seems like you kind of have a lot of goals in people's hands, but you don't seem to worry. You've exorcised the Demon King at the end of your goal."

"That's a mild way of putting it. If I defeat the Demon King, I want him to worship me as a brave man."

"I've been cooperating with the Demon King, so this is not the kind of trouble. If you want to take it down, maybe you should. I'm not stopping you."

You mean the Frost Giants are indifferent? It's harder and harder to be believers.

Asked what I cared about apart from that.

"How could the Frost Giants have cooperated with the Demon King's Army?

"The old king decided. He was special. I let myself cool off without an ice dragon. We all disagreed, but the king has forcibly decided to cooperate with the Demon King. The Frost Giants are all worried that if they go to a hot region, they'll melt, but you didn't know what it's like."

Reminds me of the status of Frost Giant King Yotun.

"You did have the ability to produce your own winter. Was it time-current icing (eternal shift)? So I didn't need an ice dragon and wanted something else. As a result, you cooperated with the Demon King's army."

"I can't believe I didn't get filled the other way because I had what I needed. Ironic."

Ticky laughed frankly. But I seemed lonely somewhere.

I kept my eyes open.

- Right.

You don't even need God for those who are wholeheartedly fulfilled.

Because God is the one who gives grace to things that are not satisfied.

So if people all over the world are full without God, then God will no longer be needed?

... Then what is God...

What were born and live for......

When I was confused by the idea, I felt a gaze.

The more I turned my face, the more desperate I was to eat cookies, Lapisia was looking at me with her big golden eyes.

He wants to know how I am, silently.

- Oh, this guy was a god, too. Though I am still a child of God. Maybe you instinctively wondered what answer I would give as God.

If I looked to the side, Celica and Meña were looking at me too.

- Those who need me. It's important to me, too.

As long as they're around, I can live. Seems so.

I mean, that's...

Reach out when you are in trouble and value your followers as much as your family.

I thought maybe I could be such a god.

Then the Frost Giants can also be said to be in trouble.

I have a chance to spread my name to Brizalia.

I ask Ticky.

"When are the Frost Giants coming back from fishing?

"It's almost time."

"Well - then will we go home for today? Enough, Celica?

"Yes, Kaika."

Celica shakes her blonde hair and nods.

We stood up to signal it.

Lapisia said in a cheerful voice.

"Cookies, they were delicious! Thanks!"

Ticky gets up and tells him to be nice.

"Fair enough, I wish I was slower. - I'm sure a brave man is in a hurry to live. Welcome back for tea."

"I'll let you do that. Let Kaika Village know if anything happens."

Tell them where the village is.

You'll get there if you can fly all day on an ice dragon.

"Well, good luck, Ticky."

"Yeah, I'll see you later"

Dropped off by a warm smile, we left the Ice Dragon Stables behind.

Walk through a garden full of snow, figuring out how to increase the number of believers in Brizarria.

- Let the evil god be like the evil god.

"Phew."

When I accidentally laughed with my nose, Celica glanced worried.

"Kaika laughed badly again..."

"Good luck, brother Kaika"

Meigna backed her with a voice she trusted immensely. My tail is shaking with pleasure.

"Oh, I got it."

We need to make even the Frost Giants believers to live up to their trust.

- and.

It was when I went through a large garden and tried to get out onto the streets of town.

For some reason the ice dragons gathered around.

"Hmm, what? Drop him off?"

Lapisia approached me and started talking with an exaggerated gesture.

Then I looked back and said.

"To where I picked it up, he said he'd take me!

"That won't help. I asked for it."

As the dragons crouched, they spread their wings to stick to the ground.

It replaces the slope and makes it easier to climb to your back.

Only Meña whispered her thin brow for some reason she didn't like it.

"Ugh."

"What's up?

"This dragon, cold"

My ears lay low and my thin tail swayed powerlessly.

"Oh, cats don't like the heat or the cold"

"Mmmm... not that cat"

After pointing his lips slightly, he climbed onto the back of the dragon as he rocked his witch clothes.

I'll follow.

As they all rode, the ice dragon flew off with powerful wings.

Cut the wind and slip through the cold skies.

Celica and Meña shrunk themselves in the cold.

I'll hold them and warm them up.

"Do you want to go into the hot springs when you get home?"

"Mm-hmm. I will"

"That's good. It'll warm you up."

Celica smiles at the word hot spring. It doesn't look like Megna is in the mood either.

They leaned against each other until they reached their destination and communicated their soft body temperature to each other.
