Hakai no Miko

The Ethereal Horse woke up with the sunlight on her face.

Create eyeballs with your right hand on your eyelids and open thin eyes.

It was in a tent unknown to the Ethereal Horse. When I say tent, it's not a triangular tent that the Ethereal Horse knows well. It is shaped like lying low, close to that of a nomadic tribe with holes in the top of its head. Thick furs and cloths were laid on the ground, where the Ethereal Horse was dressed in hairy textiles and laid to sleep.

"Hmm? Did I wake you?

It was the beast man who was trying to get inside with the tent entrance covered.

The astonished Ethereal Horse rushes back to stay away from the Beast Man with his ass on. Besides, the beast man wrinkled his face. Apparently, he smiled bitterly.

"I'm not taking anything and eating it. Don't worry."

When the beast lays dead leaves on a furnace made of stone piles in the center of the tent, he breathes and starts a fire. Then, as he spread a few pieces of thick dried meat over the stone near the fire and arranged them, he next took out the likeness of the dough, and pierced it at the tip of the branch and began to blink with fire.

After a while, the smell of fragrant meat spread through the tent.

The throat of a pale horse snarled.

When the beast man laughed at the pale horse blushing in embarrassment, he pressed it towards the pale horse when he put a large leaf in a vessel and put it on a reasonably well cooked meat and dough.

"Anyway, eat. I've got a lot to talk about, but that's after my belly swells."

Apparently, the Beast Man has no hostility. When the Ethereal Horse attracts the pressed leaves, she mouths the meat surprised.

"... yummy!?"

The more I accidentally put it into words, the better. The dried meat with concentrated flavour also has a salty and spicy vanilla flavour, which spreads its goodness all over the mouth. The dough was different in colour and texture from what Aoi Horse knew, but it was distinctively sweet when it was stirred up, and this was also good.

The beast man smiled joyfully at the pale horse who disappointed and ate.

"That's good"

So the beast man began to eat meat and dough himself, when he clawed on the spot.

The Ethereal Horse observed the Beastman, eating meat and dough.

The whole body of the beast man is bright chestnut hair, white only from the mouth to the inside of the body, such as the belly, like a tiger or leopard. He wears a torso covering his shoulders and chest knitted with bright color-dyed twats for a beautiful plaid pattern, as well as a lumbar minotaur hanging a number of plates and small skin bags knitted with twats in the same way. The area around the chest of the torso is exuberant, so I'm probably a woman, but I'm not sure because I don't have any comparable experience with the beast man's gender in any way.

When the beast is finished eating, add the dried leaves in the iron pan water that was sprayed on the furnace, let it simmer for a while, and then suck them in a wow.

"Drink. Your body's warming up."

Drinking as I was told, the tannic taste of Oolong tea spread to my mouth. After a while, like the beast man said, he warmed up pokapoka from within his body.

The tea-dried Ethereal Horse pushes the octopus against the Beast Man with a leaf vessel. And I lowered my head with my hands together.

"Thank you very much."

"Gothiso samadesita? What, what's that?

"Eh...... It was very tasty. Thanks for making the food. Thank you for what you ate, too."

"I see. Thank you for what you ate, too. Gothisosa madesita, right?"

The beast man also covered himself with a pale horse and lowered his head with his hands together.

"Um... if I'm wrong, I'm sorry. Were you in that hole, man? Is...?

"What? You didn't understand me?

"Sorry. It was dark over there, I wasn't sure what color the hair was... And words and stuff."

"Hmm. Well, there's no choice. I'm not sure about the human face either. Humans have a bad nose, so they won't even know what it smells like. The only reason I can understand the words now is because the old lady says' connected ', but I'm not sure either."

That said, the beast man lowered his head gently with his fists on the floor with both hands as he faced the pale horse.

"I am Fagle Garguz Shemr, the noble fang."

"Fa, fagle......?

"Faggle is a family name. It means one of Zoan's twelve clans, the Fang Clan. The next Garguz is my father's name. Shemr becomes my personal name." Elegant Fangs "is my word."

"So, Shemr..., should I call you?

"Um. Well, I don't need 'Mr.'"

I'm Aoima Kizaki.

"Is it Xaki Soma? Is that your name, Xaki?

"No, no. Kizaki is the surname, Aoima is the name"

"Hmm. Unlike this human race, does the name come behind it? - Okay. Let's call you Soma."

Shemr remembered his name by repeatedly whining "Soma" in his mouth several times.

"Um... I hear weird things... the... fur is real?

"Hmm? What, you don't know Zoan?

"Zoan?"

"That's right. By the God of the great beast, the race born of the beast is us, Zoan. Wasn't there a Zoan in the world you were in?

"... probably. Except in myths and legends."

"After all, it looks like you have to explain it from the beginning"

Shemr thinks about what he explained from, and how he put his arms together.

"First of all, the first thing you need to know is that you're a dropper."

"An old man?

"That's right. - The place where we are is called the Continent of Cerdeas. Have you ever heard of him?

The Ethereal Horse shakes his neck to the side. Shemr draws the appropriate ellipse over the ashes of the furnace when he takes the branches where he was burning the dough.

"I don't really know the size or shape of the Continent of Cerdeas. No one's ever looked into it. Even if someone wants to look into it, it's impossible because there are many countries on the continent that hate being able to look into each other's own countries. Still, if we gather travelers and other stories, we know that we are surrounded by the sea."

Put many wavelines around the ellipse.

"This continent is inhabited by seven races that worship the Seven Pillars God. Dinosaurian, Marman, Dwarf, Elf, Zoan, Harpuran, and man."

"A merman is a mermaid? Uh, the lower body is a fish and the upper body is a person?

"Well, did Marman know?"

"And if the dwarves were short and bearded, and the elves were a beautiful clan with pointy ears,"

"Dwarf has a mustache if he's a man. The elves... I don't know if they're pretty, but they're beautiful, according to humans."

"None of them are really there, people who come out of the legend."

"I see. But you're too much of a coincidence. Maybe someone fell from here instead of you."

Shemr, with his branches in his hand, points to a continent drawn on the ashes.

"We've got a little bit to talk about, but this continent is our world. Beyond the sea, there may be other continents, but at least the world for us today is this"

When you pinch up the pebble that was falling beside the furnace, you drop it onto a continent painted on the ashes.

"And you fell down here somewhere."

The Ethereal Horse noticed that the word "dropper" could be applied to the word "decoy" that Shemr had earlier referred to himself, in the words "fallen".

"I knew it. This was a different world..."

My consciousness has been hazy for a long time, but in the meantime, I remember.

Suspicious religious rituals in the bell cave, large lizards like horses, fortifications lit by a burning fire and their cellars.

And above all, Shemr, the beast man who met there and is still in front of us.

All of them are unlikely in modern Japan - a world where the Ethereal Horse has lived.

"Oh, my God, you believe me more honestly than I thought."

I knew Shemr would not believe the Ethereal Horse any time soon, even if he was told that he had fallen into another world. Maybe he was confused and even fearful that he would burst out.

But the Ethereal Horse was not surprised, but seemed to take things very well.

Shemr could not have known, but in comics, cartoons, etc., the story of the protagonist falling into different worlds or being summoned is commonplace. A typical Japanese boy who became familiar with such subcultures from an early age, the Ethereal Horse had a basement just to understand this anomaly.

Besides, it may have been a good thing that my consciousness has been hazy since I fell here and I couldn't afford to think too deeply about it. While his consciousness was obscured, he was ready to accept this anomaly one by one, and even though Shemr was thus informed of the situation once again, the Ethereal Horse did not seem to have been greatly shocked or panicked.

Having understood the situation in which he was placed, the Ethereal Horse first visited what he most wanted to hear.

"Can I go back to my old world? Let me know if you know how to get back."

Shemru assumed the question, but unfortunately he loses his licence.

"I'm sorry. I don't know. Everything we've just talked about is sold."

"Really..."

In the depression of the Ethereal Horse, Shemr continues his words in haste.

"I know your wife better than I do. Later, I'll introduce you to your wife, so don't be so depressed."

"Thank you"

Even though Shemr panicked about something strange, he couldn't help but smile in the face of the pale horse.

"But why are you doing this to me?

That's hard to hear, but it was something I really needed to hear early.

If we are to say that this is a different world, there is no acquaintance or country that we can rely on the Ethereal Horse. Also, if you don't have anything like gold eyes, you don't even have common sense instead of just the knowledge to live here.

Now, he's helping himself for some reason now, but if Shemr's mind suddenly changes and he's thrown out, the Ethereal Horse should not live very much.

If Shemr has any intention of helping herself, she needs to understand it quickly and make an effort to maintain her asylum. Shemr's asylum is indispensable, at least, until we can calculate a return to the original world or live on our own.

"Before I say that, I want to ask you one thing"

Shemr stared into the eyes of one and a pale horse.

It was as if even slight eye movements were to be missed in order to see into the depths of the hearts of the pale horses.

"Why did you try to help me then?

The Ethereal Horse, wondering what difficult things would be asked, clapped out.

So I answered honestly, without any feelings.

"Because it's obvious"

"Do you think it's natural?!"

"Yeah. Something to help each other out when you're in trouble. Because that's what I've taught you, and I took that for granted..."

Shemr shrugged back.

How peaceful did this guy come from? You think it's normal to help each other when you're in trouble? Which paradise is that? I can't believe there's such a good guy or a world full of idiots.

But if you think about it, maybe that's normal. It is not uncommon to take care of whoever is no longer able to hunt due to injury or illness in the village of Zoan as a whole. Except when it extends to other races.

Well, Shemr thought.

There was no Zoan in the world where the Ethereal Horse was. Because of this, these humans are not inferior to the common sense that Zoan should be eliminated. If you take it for him, the first time you saw Zoan was only a creature like a human being, and it would have been natural to help him with it.

In this world, humans and Zoan continue to contend long before Shemr was born. It had already been deeply rooted among the species on both sides as a cause of evil that could not be easily pulled out. It no longer reaches a stage where, in the minds of individuals and some groups, nothing can be done.

But if there's a world of people like this pale horse who can't separate humans from Zoan and can help each other, isn't that so great?

I know it's very unlikely in reality, but that's why the Ethereal Horse in front of me never seemed so precious.

Once again, when Shemr corrects his posture, he puts his fists on his hands and lowers his head deeply.

"Soma. I will never forget the thankfulness of that time." Elegant Fangs "Fagle Garguz Shemr vows to return the name of his father and, with my pride, the grace of that time. As much as you like, you should stay here. Don't hesitate to take my hospitality."

"Hey, wait a minute. Give me your head, Shemle! It's not a big deal!

Shemr laughed at the pale horse, who hesitated.

Because this' dropper 'has no idea how amazing it is in this world that he thinks it's' not a big deal '.

In front of a pale horse with a bright red face, he was a shemur laughing slightly, but when he noticed the footsteps of someone approaching the tent, he lowered his laugh.

"Soma, wrap this around your forehead."

Still, it's not convenient to find out that he's Aura's son. Shemr threw an embroidered bowl roll at the pale horse.

Beyond the cover of the entrance to the tent, I heard a cough. When you visit someone else's tent, it is polite to pass on your visit inside with a cough before speaking out like this.

"Who? What can I do for you?

"Shemr, it's me. I need to talk to you, okay?

When the Ethereal Horse confirmed that he had wrapped a bowl roll around it and then Shemr put the cover on it, a big black haired Zoan stood there. Zoan, who has a vivid knife wound coming through his nostrils from his eyebrows and through his right cheek, looks at the pale horse on the side and wrinkles his nose in a grumpy manner.

"What's up? Raging Teeth?

"It's hard to talk here. I'm sorry, but I need you to hang out a little."

Probably a hard thing to talk about in front of a pale horse. Shemr admitted that he would go later so he told me to stay ahead of him.

"Soma, I'm sorry, but I'm going out a little. Don't ever go out there until I get back."

"Okay. - But are you okay?

Shemr found out what the Ethereal Horse was trying to say. I'm worried that he might be taking care of Shemr because of himself.

"It's okay, Soma. That guy is Faggle Gargus Gallum from Raging Fangs. Never a bad guy."

In the name Shemr told him, the Ethereal Horse said, "Is that it?" I thought.

He's definitely the first guy to say his family name, so I guess it means Zoan with the same family name as Shemr. But the next thing I know, my father's name and Shemr should have said it.

I mean, Shemr and Zoan just now...

"Oh, have you noticed? Yes, Gallum is my brother."
