Hakai no Miko

Lesson 13: Distress

In the mountains where the sun set and the sun came, the Zoans were gathered at the prayer house.

Young warriors wounded in the daytime battle are laid to sleep, accompanied by their families.

Gurkaka, who was watching the condition of a young warrior with a bandage all over his body, realizes that Galam is here and comes to him.

"He won't see the sun tomorrow morning either."

To that glucaca report, Garam didn't know what to say to the old Zoan couple who were accompanying that young warrior.

"Of the eighteen young warriors who followed Gajeta, ten were returned, of whom three, including him..."

I clouded my last words, but I knew what Gurkaka was trying to say.

As Garam looked around at the wounded, there was a figure of Gajeta sitting alone by the bonfire at the far end of the prayer house. Nor are the surroundings that are usually around him, nowhere now.

"Gajeta, if there's an opening, let's hear it."

When Garam said so, Gajeta barked with her fangs.

"There's no opening! As Zoan's brave warrior, we fought to reclaim the village! You're cowardly and you don't even try to get the village back, you don't have the muscle to say it anyway!

"Gajeta......!

Garam raises his arm to stop Gurkaka from trying to hit Gajeta with his angry form. Plus Gajeta says.

"If you had joined forces then, you would have broken the fence! That way, human soldiers, etc...!

"If we step up, do you really think we broke the fence?

When Garam said in a chilling thing as opposed to Gajeta, Gajeta was stuck in words.

"It's...!

"Even if you're Zoan's warrior, it's not like you don't know what happened then. Who do you think you can talk to that you don't believe in?

Gajeta, who had no words to argue with Garam, turns a blind eye when she tongues abominably.

At the next moment, Gallum's fist bursts onto the side of Gajeta, and Gajeta is beaten to pieces.

"Gajeta! Now, I want a warrior alone. Now I forgive you for this. When it is done, dispose of it again then. Be prepared."

Gajeta's vomited and discarded words arrived on the back of Galam, who walked away with Gurkaka.

"When things are done? We'll all be dead then."

That's right, Gallum, I couldn't say anything.

I've lost even fewer warriors. Even though it was originally difficult to retrieve the village, it has become more difficult. Besides, in case you can get the village back, the next thing you're waiting for is eight hundred troops coming from the fort.

One of the warriors came running under Galam, who looked up to heaven.

"Chieftain! The Messenger has returned to the Messenger to the Claw Family!

"Bring him in immediately!

Did God not forsake us that the messenger would return at this time?

While he thought the joy was no good, Gallam could not help but hope for what the Messenger brought.

The warrior who was out on the messenger probably returned this winter mountain by force in an attempt to deliver the report as soon as possible, perhaps even temporarily. It seemed to me that I could not walk unless my buddy lent me his shoulder because I was exhausted to see it.

"Chieftain! I'm late, but I'm back!

"Fine! What is the Claw Clan?"

The messenger laid his knees and hands on the spot and rubbed his forehead to the ground.

"Also, sorry!

And there is a voice of disappointment from the brethren of his family.

Gallum leaked one sigh. Originally, the Claw Clan was the opponent who had troubled each other throughout their territory since they were in the plains. I guess we couldn't even look after them like that, just to protect each other's families to the fullest.

"Never mind. Originally, I don't see it as easy to accept. Not that you care."

That's what I did to the messenger.

"No, chief. The Claw Clan said it was okay to accept old people and children. He also said it was not a bluff to add a warrior if necessary."

"What?!"

That was a reaction that the Gallums didn't expect. Kraga Bigana Zug, the current chief of the Claw Clan, heard that battle was the only crude man to gain, but he just doesn't seem to imitate abandoning his compatriots who are about to be attacked and destroyed by humans.

"So, but he said there were conditions for that."

"Conditions?

"The acceptance of old people and children and the increase in fighting are major problems involving the whole [claw clan]. Therefore, when I bring in the old men and children to accept, I ask the chief himself to visit the claw family and explain from his mouth to the claw family."

"The chief comes to bow his head," he said!

The warriors I was listening to mutter their teeth and raise their voices softly.

"If my family would be helped if I bowed my head, I would. But..."

Garam is a chief. If abandoning your little pride helps those of your clan, let's do so.

But now we don't know when humans will attack us. There's no way the chief can leave here. The chief of the Claw Clan knows about that. This must be a far-fetched rejection.

The messenger went on to say even more to Gallum, who almost gave up.

"Not yet, its continuation..."

"What?

"If the chief cannot visit, your son may take his place."

And the people of his family cursed in unison.

"Don't be ridiculous, Claw Clan!

"Replacing the chief, etc., and how soggy!

"Isn't that the formula for getting your son from the beginning!

The intent of Claw Clan was obvious.

The pattern of Shemr, your son, is the true aim.

There have been many times in discussions between the clans that the whole Zoan clan should unite and stand united against man. But it always depends on which clan divides, and at all times the story ends in a farewell.

In doing so, the story of the All-Family Coalition Army was rekindled by the fact that Shemr became his son a few years ago.

It was greatly expected that a son recognized by the god of beasts whom Zoan worships would be able to be the flag head and lead all Zoan. But at the same time that Shemr is his son, he is the daughter of Garguz, the chief of the Fang Clan at the time. The story of the Zoan All-Family Allied Army had disappeared because the "Claw's Family", concerned that the "Fang's Family" would divide the Zoan All-Family Allied Army as a family member who had a son, had then given some reason and refused to hold a clan meeting.

The other day, Garam tried to make Shemr a messenger to the Claw Clan, so long as the Fang Clan survived even the destruction of the Son by man, the Zoan All-Family coalition, which had disappeared by its greatest force, the Clan of Claws, could be realized. That way, the Fang Clan would perish, and all Zoan would survive, because there was a bitter decision.

If you think of all the Zoan clans and say that you were prepared for it, but the Claw clan is considered weak, then you will enter into the weakness and demand that your son come here without any cowardice.

Gallum, who had made a bitter decision to send Shemr out once, also learned the rage of turning bright red in front of him.

Hey, Zoog! Beyond this period, haven't you seen the status quo yet?!

Gallam let the chief of the "claw clan" in his memory shower a mere cursing murmur.

One old man rose from among the brethren of his angry clan.

"I have lived long enough. I don't want to live forever until I give you my son."

And it is cut off, and the old men rise up with one, and with another, and say the same thing.

Even though they are old, they are also proud Zoan. The clans were different. They all remembered the fierce anger at the way this Claw Clan did about the same Zoan crisis.

"But what about the kids?

But someone uttered it, and in one word it quiets down around.

It is good that the warriors die.

It's good to have an old, short old man die.

But what about the kids?

A while later, a mother with a young child said, pompous.

"If I sacrifice your son, he will bear it for the rest of his life."

Zoan is a proud species. Even if we were all to help, if we were to offer the Son of God the Beast we worship to other families, the Fang Family would become a mockery in the future. Even if the children survive, they will continue to carry that on for the rest of their lives.

My voice rose out of no-one.

"Let's fight alone..."

"That's right. Fight and die with pride, rather than live until you lose pride!

"Show the pride of the Fang Clan!

"I'll show the humans Zoan's courage!

The warriors shook up their mountain swords and raised their minds.

The old men stick their fists up to it, too.

In it, a mother hugged the decent children with tears in her eyes, not knowing what was going on. And the father holds that shoulder.

There was only one person who opposed it in such an attempt to prepare for death and throw himself into battle.

"Guys, don't rush to death!

It was Shemr.

"Warriors! A warrior's pride is just to fight and die?! Just to fight, isn't that the same as Tabanunu, the Fang of Frenzy!

Tabannu, the legendary Zoan warrior, supposedly in the age of mythology. He was Zoan's mightiest warrior, without a side by side, but intoxicated by his power, he had his friend and lover in his hands from a minor misconception. Besides, there is a legend that Tabanunu's heart broke and he disappeared without becoming a mad warrior who would be attacked by whomever he saw.

"I taught my father… to my predecessor's chief. A warrior is one who fights on behalf of the weak. When a warrior's pride hurts, he says it's when he couldn't protect those he was supposed to protect! So, so..."

Shemr squeezed the following words, as if to spit blood.

"I'm going down to Claw Clan! If those guys tell you to keep this head down, let's keep it down as long as we can! If you want me to do a show, let's dance naked for you! If so many of my family will be saved, if that helps everyone, I will throw away my pride and so on and so forth!

"Son of a...!

If that were the others, or some would have accused them of shamelessness.

But Shemru is a "noble fang". Everyone on the spot knows how proud she is. She said that she would be stuck with such humiliating demands and still accept them.

It is not for itself either, but for the brethren of the family. For the weak who cannot fight.

"Guys, don't rush to death. If anyone laughs at you, I'll stop risking my life! If you mean to be exposed to the back finger, I will stand in front of it!

All the time, there were tears in Shemr's eyes.

"So please. We all want you to live..."

All the compatriots who were there nodded to Shemr's words. All I hear is a sob and a kid who doesn't know the situation is innocently asking, "What's going on, guys?," he asks his mother.

And whenever the gaze of the family gathereth unto Garam, who is nature and chief.

Chief, what are we supposed to do?

Sheikh, show us the way!

Gallam silenced as he gathered the gaze of the brothers of those silently questioning families together.

What the hell am I supposed to do? If he was just a warrior, he said to die with everyone. I told him to be proud and scatter brilliantly.

But I'm the chief. This Fang Clan is the chief who keeps the lives of all.

In my words, the fate of the brethren of my family who are here will be determined.

Father, my predecessor's chief. Tell me what to do.

Anyone. Lead me!

In the ears of the agonizing Gallam, the voice sounded as if it were a revelation.

"Why aren't you trying to win?

It was never loud, but the voice was heard somewhat better. All the Zoans who were there turned to one voice at a time.

Someone comes down from the mountains where the lights of the fireworks cannot be reached.

Who? God's use? An ancestral ghost?!

Gallum keeps a big eye out.

"Why don't you guys try to win when you can?

Coming out of the mountains into the lights of the bonfire was a human child, Aoima Kizaki, whom Shemr was feeding.
