The name of the Snow Ghost (Yugshiva) woman is Eustia. Her appearance, taking the ghost mask, was breathtaking, even Josh, who was supposed to be used to the world. Stretching her silver hair to her waist, she recovered while she watched as she ate Gi-Go's procured food.

Snowfields lit back by bright sunshine. A cold breeze rolls up the snow slightly over it and shakes her hair. Along with his white fur coat, he looked back to the benefactors of his life after receiving a pleasant northern breath that he felt on his cheeks as he scratched up his silver hair in the wind.

"Cochi, Mura"

Proceeding in the direction they point to, they see a settlement that is to be buried in deep snow between the valleys. It would have been difficult to find each and every one of them if Eustia had pointed out that the snow covered the houses with zero falling off the roof.

One person and one was guided was the biggest house of them all. If Josh and the others approach the village and see the children play in the square, the boy and the girl with her hair stretched out play with a sword meeting, and the surrounding children stand up.

Also, all of them have swords. After giving Eustia a joyous look, they all turn their sword tips to the unfamiliar, surprised by the appearance of Josh and Gi-Go, who follow them from behind.

"I didn't know even young children would wield their swords...... is that what you call a clan of snow ghosts"

"Goblins are very much the same..."

"... well, it's rare for humans"

"Right."

Josh and Gi Go, who easily exchange such conversations, scattering the children in the northern language, she moves on and on to the house where she has the most.

One of the kids runs into a big house and a one-armed, magnificent man comes out of it.

"Zokucho"

After Eustia told her a word, she talked about the benefactors of her life in the Northern language and about the medicine. The gi-gos watching her from behind could also understand that she was somehow speaking with gestures.

A magnificent, silver-haired man with a difficult face to shut up. Deep wrinkles are carved between the eyebrows, and scars can be seen from all over the exposed skin. The word warrior is so rare, so is the man who looks good.

A word or two. When Eustia and the man he called the chief exchanged words at the end, he goes back inside the house.

"Kusuri, Tanom, Kochi"

Lead the way into the big house and go through some rooms to get to what appears to be the bedroom. Lying on a covered sleeping table was a woman resembling Eustia.

"Haha."

From between rough breaths, her gaze slowly opened in response to Eustia's words, from the gentle one that sees her daughter, to the sword-soaked one that pours and flips on the Gi Goes and reminds her of the tip of her sword.

It excites the body that should have been so weak and manages to keep the rough breath calm. I don't know if that's because of admiration, or if I can't forgive anything other than a clan of snowghosts.

"Tanom."

Mother and daughter exchange words in the northern language, and Gi Go and the others turn their backs on them so as not to disturb them.

"Get out of here, you assholes..."

Even weak, Eustia's mother scolds them with certain Southern words.

"Do you understand the words?

To his astonishment Josh, Eustia's mother glances over to stare from the top of her bedroom.

"I was married twice, and every time you killed my husband. I will never forgive you."

Turning their backs on her spitting the curse in tears, Josh and Gi-Go leave the room to make medicine. Behind them, the mother and daughter were also exchanging words in the northern language.

"What is marriage so important?

"... Yeah, well, some people are oriented to see it as sacred, but what do you think? I've never done it, and I don't think I want to do it at the moment."

One person and one person have a conversation while making herbs in another room. Gi Go, a native of Gi's settlement, seemed to have a hard time understanding the act of saying marriage.

"I mean, do you make turns?

"Yeah, that's right. Isn't it natural to wish to keep your own blood muscles for future generations?

"This body is the only one. It's nobody's, it's just mine. And that's something you can say besides me. Blood and so on, what will it be?"

Hmm, and Josh as he grinds down the dried grass, cites the king as an example.

"For example, the blood muscles left by the king of goblins, don't you think, matter? Maybe a better king will show up."

"... the greatness of the king is not by blood. It will depend on your ability to isolate yourself from the rest and the accomplishments you have accomplished. Not blood."

"So, for example, as creating a kingdom, because who will inherit the kingdom if the king is otherworldly?

"A man of strength, isn't he?

Josh thought it was a rather cynical way of thinking about what was natural, the gaze of Gi-Go. Certainly not a good second generation will come from a good king. But that's what people expect. That is why it is possible to survive the kingdom of man for a hundred years or more......

I gave Eustia the medicinal herbs I could do and asked how many more people I needed, and Josh decided to make them whenever possible. Meanwhile, free time Gi Go leaves the room with a song knife on his back to look around at the Snow Ghost settlement.

On foot for a while, in an earlier square, the children were playing with their swords again.

Seeing how it goes, Gi-Go approaches them lightly with his footsteps as well. The children turn their guard and their sword tips to the dew at the approach of the unfamiliar Gi-Go.

"Hmm."

Along with that, Gi-Go pulls out his sword as well.

Little children are uniformly frightened by the glitter of the blade that has been pulled out, but children a little older have a tendency to slowly fall back and fly away at all times.

"Good standing"

I guess the kids are playing independently. Not that they have a set mould, but they take care of each one as they please.

"Let's give him some guidance."

To giggle violently gi go, the circle of the children widens a little and becomes like a half siege on him. Even the younger ones, the older ones, put up their swords firmly to face Gi Go whether they were relieved of how calm they were. The pressure I felt from the tip of that sword as a child was quite something.

"Yea!"

Gi Go jumps straight from the front overhead with a sword trident shot in with a boiling temper from the inside. A sword bouncing overhead coincided with piercing the ground and poking the sword at the child Gi Go had punched in.

This is followed by a sword trident that is shot in with temper from around. Play it politely one by one to the sky and poke your sword at everyone. Among those who lose their hips and those who cry out, Gi Go strokes his head when he offers a sobbed child a bounced sword.

Repeating instruction, such as gesturing, lowering your hips more, pointing your sword tip straight at your opponent, gradually makes the kids understand the intentions of Gi Go, too.

It is a settlement originally closed to snow. For children hungry for entertainment and stimulation, when they find that Gi-Go is not dangerous, they immediately begin to show interest and quickly begin to surround him and make noise.

I rarely look at the color of Gi-Go's skin, look at it with a stiff epidermis, try to hang on its gigantic body, and each treat Gi-Go as I please.

Gi Go at the time knows only a small number of people who were in Gi's settlement years when it came to human children. Even then, to a certain extent, I took the liberty of dealing with a few of the children involved with goblins.

Naturally I couldn't have figured out what to do, I had to leave it to the flow and deal with the kid.

"Uh-huh."

While I don't think this was supposed to happen, I deal with them until the sun goes down and return to the sheikh's house with Josh thinking I'm a little tired, etc.

◆ ◆ ◇

About ten days passed after Josh and Gi Go stayed in the Snow Ghost settlement. Josh's medicine to make gradually paid off the dark clouds of the disease that had covered the settlement, causing it to turn to healing. Against Josh, who kept busy making medicines every day, Gi Goh was dealing with children and going hunting around, but one day Eustia and her mother came to visit them.

"I apologize for any disrespect during this time"

Shut up and Eustia bows her head. I guess it's the mother who has business.

"Thank you for saving my clan's crisis"

When the mother speaks better, Eustia shuts up and bows her head again.

"As someone who brings the clan together, I wanted to thank you for something... something rural village. What are you doing in this village?

Gi Go and Josh face to face. Changing from my attitude the other day, the words are polite. I can't see the waves of emotion near faceless in my expression.

Josh opens his mouth, judging that he has come to explore this intention.

"This one, I say Gi Go, was on a journey to brush his sword's arms"

Hear how it's been and the arms of the snowhaunted sword you hear, and tell them what you wanted to work with. It depends on Eustia's mother's face, which was faceless, as if she was slightly troubled. Turning her gaze to the fearful Eustia beside her, she stared wholeheartedly at Gi Go and Josh.

I sighed gently and opened my mouth again.

"Indeed, the arms of the sword of my clan may be extraordinary compared to those of you who live in the southern plains. But that's also until the other day. The men of my clan have either entered the registry or suffered irreversible injuries in last year's battle. There are only women and children in this village."

I did feel like there were a lot of kids when Gi Go looked around. But I barely saw the number of grown men in comparison.

"But Mr. Eustia..."

"This kid, he's just a kid. You can't call an adult a man who can't help himself and does something reckless."

"Let me think for a second"

Gi go to think with a difficult face, Josh. Then put aside and Eustia's mother urged Eustia to leave the room.

"Mr. Gi-Go, what shall we do?"

Josh, who felt told to go away, nods and consults Gi Go.

"If you don't have what you want, you can't help it. Or maybe there's an unknown frontier in this depths."

The two of them, who needed time to put together their thoughts, spent that evening inconclusively.

The next day I came to the conclusion that I would leave the land and return once to the forest where the king lived, because Josh was going to return to the forest once in a limited time of one year, and if Gi Goh had nothing to ask for, I thought it would be good to see (Mami) with the king once.

When you get dressed up, one of you and one of you leave the village immediately. Dropping them off were the kids Gi Go was always dealing with. As soon as I thought I could play today, they are discouraged by the appearance of Gi Go dressed in travel clothes. Stroking the heads of such children in turn, Gi-Go and Josh left the settlement behind.

I left the Snow Ghost settlement for about a day. On the way home following the opposite path taught by Eustia, they tend in the shadow of the great tree that will be today's Inn. As usual, when Gi Go goes out hunting, he hears a call and stops.

"Gi Gordono!"

To Eustia's voice echoing the snowfields, Gi Go waves out of the woods where he was hissing himself. Admitting that figure, she runs toward Gi-Go at an arrowy speed. Running only in a white jacket, without even wearing a ghost mask, which is a characteristic of a snowghost, she hugs Gi Go with the momentum intact.

"smanu, smanu, haha, lying, itta"

To Eustia, excited to repeat her apology with a rough breath, Gi Go went back to the camp to borrow Josh's wisdom for now.

Gi Goh and Josh listened to her talk as she followed.

If I listened carefully to her, what her mother told me was half true and half false. It is an indisputable fact to say that the men almost died in last year's battle. In the village, there were only women, children and old men, and the most prominent arm of the sword was to say Eustia or her mother.

But I'm not saying you don't have the skill to brush your sword's arms.

When she visited Gi Go and the others with her mother the other day, she thought her mother had told Gi Go and the others about it.

I just want to thank my benefactor for saving my family. Her mother took her will and offered to explain it to her because she was still speechless in the south.

My mother's words were fluent, and she was still full of words to follow, but she could not hear them well.

Naturally, my mother thought she was going to show Gi Go and Josh how to do it, but it was noon yesterday when Eustia, dressed in a traveling costume from the children, heard that the two had traveled, stuffed her mother.

─ ─ Why, you lied!

Her mother said cold to Eustia, angry as a blaze.

─ ─ If you divulge the secret laws of the clan to those outside, you can't face your ancestors!

─ ─ It's shameless not to return it in gratitude! You won't have to ask which one of your ancestors will cry to find out if you're ashamed of keeping secrets!

Parent-child fights heated to the point where the song knives were fitted together and the blades were to be held back by his father's arbitration and the villagers gathered around him. Eustia, however, ran straight out of the settlement and said it would continue to this day.

"Well, how impotent"

Josh shrugs as he hears the blankness of the gun.

"Gi Gordono, Tsyok, Naritai, Basho, Al"

To that obnoxious word, Gi Go nods.

"Annai, sul! Ongi, Caes"

Eustia lowering her head deeply.

"Nice to meet you"

Gi Go nodded deeply.

◆ ◆ ◇

Gi Go and Josh were guided by a snowcave about two more days walking from the shade of the great tree.

Light coming from the outside illuminates the interior of an ice cave buried in the snow, reflecting on a complex layer of ice. To the fantastic sight, Forget the cold. Gi Go and Josh saw into the sight.

"Hitori, Kamisama, Aw"

Not so deep. Following Eustia's words, one Gi Go goes into it.

"Utah, Utah. Kamisama, Utah, Suki"

Is there such a thing? Though, Gi Go mumbles the song he learns from Josh.

"My dance is (barbayard), blade brilliance (perzalksh), drunkenness on the moon (vadimarv). If I dance (barbayar), divine descent (karmoor), everlasting at night (janroulou), nightbirding (nuenakdor)"

Sing the song of war.

To deserve it on this occasion, the singing Gi-Go singing sounds in the cave, and the multiple overlapping geometric demon squares appear at his feet, erasing Gi-Go's body.

Gi Go, who was flown by the demon squares, was alone in the dark.

The weight of the song knife on his hips and the feeling of the ground treading behind his feet remained intact, standing in the darkness he could not foresee.

Normally, it would be confusing, but Gi Go, who has dived through the training grounds, sits on the spot and first confirms what happened to him.

"This is what the Snowghosts call a trial."

Give great power to those who have transgressed the trials.

That test, which has been taken over by generations of chiefs, was also known as the secret law of the Snowghosts.

But it's so dark.

Darkness not foreseeable even with goblin vision. After a while, there is a blurry shadow floating in it. Gazing into his eyes and checking his appearance, the shadow seemed to sit as well as Gi Go.

"Trial."

"Yes, it's a trial."

When the fearless Gi-Go rises, the shadows also rise and pull out their swords at the same time as each other.

"I mean, should I slaughter you"

"Yes, you just have to kill me. If you can."

The shadow laughs and distorts the mouth. Having decided that any further conversation would be pointless, Gi Go sets up the sword he pulled out.

Gi Go leaps towards the shadows in the dark.

Swing your sword at about the same time as your opponent who comes out at the same time, with the sound of a sword trident and a spark scattering. Bring it straight to the impending, and when you ascertain the other person's face nearby, Gi Go is stunned by the face there.

"Who are you!?

There he was, undoubtedly king of Goblin.

No, Nanica with the king's face to be exact. Moreover, if the memory of Gi-Go is certain, it is what the king looked like when he was Duke.

"I am the god in you."

"Bullshit!

I can be tempered by the sword I wield again. (11) Pushing the opponent from the impending, he is forced to make an intermission and wave a song knife. The enemy bounces off a blow to the head as it falls back without difficulty.

"Come on, slash it and show it to me. God in me. Give me what I believe! Come on, come on!

The shadow attack that comes with the mockery is sharp and heavy. If you distract yourself, there is so much pressure that if you say gi go, they will all be pushed in at once and slashed down.

To crush the open intermission, the shadow overwhelms Gi Go with maneuvers. He plays the sword trident that is rolled out, and even to ask about the gap, he gets into the inside of the intermission, which cannot be effectively slashed with a song knife.

"Damn!?

"What's up! You're going to slash it! Slash, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter, slaughter!!

When you bring it to the impasse again, you ignore the words of the shadow with intent.

─ ─ Slash, you have to slash. But how.

The slaughter of the enemy is relentless and constant. It's a series of lethal strikes that will fly right through your neck if you lose your mind for a moment.

It was a battle that brought it to the brink and managed to keep the situation but it was as if it were an outline.

"You are not my king. My king is the only one south!

With anger, punch the shadow in the face and pack the open distance all at once. To the feeling of a wielded song knife cutting the sky, I gaze into the darkness and look for shadows again.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo!"

The voice of ridicule sounds from darkness to darkness, even with acoustic effects, sounding in all directions and not letting them grasp where they are.

I feel like the back of my neck is paralyzed for a moment, leaving it to me to deflect my body.

"Kay!"

The cutting-edge of a song knife protruding directly behind him plunders his neck and blocks his sight.

"Ooooh!"

When twisting your body, use the momentum to wield a song knife. A blow aimed at the opponent's protruding arm is undeveloped due to the enemy pulling his arm. But still, I've earned enough time for Gi Go to rebuild his posture.

Reassemble the shaken out song knife and measure the distance from the target.

Match the song knife of the enemy who took the lead and shook it, and step forward. Hit your own song knife on the target's weapon at the same time. Hit your body and try to fly the target.

But flutter, as if a shadow could slip through the body, can't even hit the enemy's body.

"Damn!?

"What's up, what's up!? You're going to kill him, aren't you? Come on, come on, come on!!

Slash again with mockery. Prevent a vertical blow, then reverse it. To a constant and continuous storm of slaughter, only slightly Gi-Go can strike back.

The skill of the move was obviously on top of the target.

A bunch of flowing slaughters, like turbulence that won't stop until you push your opponent away once caught, hit Gi-Go hard. But in the meantime, Gi-Go was asking himself,

Eustia told me in advance that the contents of the trial were a battle with myself.

─ ─ Are you sure you can kill them?

That is not a real king.

I know that. But I wonder if I have my inner king in front of me.

If so… it is the appearance of a king who believes in himself.

A great benefactor who pulled Gi-Go himself up from the only goblin and saved the clan he led from hunger. A great king fighting man with enormous ambitions.

The only king who makes himself want to serve.

But can you kill yourself?

-No! No! No!

"The sword is lost! Lost people don't die!

A harsh blow pours down again. When he managed to cope with the blow with the rush, Gi-Go took a distance.

"Slash down those who believe, why, the sword shakes"

That said, Gi-Go throws the song knife behind him.

"Are you crazy? You're crazy, huh? What do you mean throw away your sword!!

A shadow who forgets me in anger tries to slap his sword on Gi Go, swinging in the upper stages.

"My sword..."

The enemy's blow left to anger was slower in strength than the previous blow. Gi-Go pinches his body with both hands.

"─ For the path I believe!

Add a twist and remove the crooked knife from the opponent.

At the same time, he kicked into the shadows and bounced his body into the dark.

Then the previously dark space moves to the blurred one. Gradually clearing darkness finds Josh and Eustia in the distance.

The darkness leaves behind and the moonlight gradually begins to shine. The time of the trials had passed, and the fantastic landscape of the snow cave had spread in front of them.

At the end of the day, proudly, I felt the shadow laugh behind my back.

Then Gi Go and Josh help Eustia and help put an end to the snowghosts under one flag again.

Going back under the king took a few more days.
