Hakai no Miko

Around that time, the Ethereal Horse, who never thought he was overrated by Zug, was face-to-face with Garam and Shemr to discuss the future.

Most importantly, even when it comes to consultation, the truth is that the Ethereal Horse, who is still oblivious to the common sense of this world, is taught by Garam and Shemr.

"In the plains around here lived five of the twelve Zoan clans, including our Fang clan."

"Twelve families?

Asked the Ethereal Horse to the gallum pointing to a diagram painted with dye on the animal's skin.

"That's right. Zoan is divided into twelve families, each ancestring the twelve brethren first made to the God of the Beast. The family of eyes, ears, nose, beard, fangs, nails, horns, hooves, temples, tails, fur."

With that said, Gallam said, pointing to a painting representing the twelve families painted on each skin.

The Ethereal Horse, who was counting fingerfolds, tilts his neck.

"Is that it? Isn't that just eleven?

Shemr answers the question of the Ethereal Horse.

"Long ago, they had a family that ran to desire and brought disaster to all the other clans. He said that he had bought the wrath of all the other families, and that their families had been stripped of their names and banished somewhere. That's the twelfth family lost."

I see. Shemr seems happy that he was helpful in the appearance of a pale horse. If I had a long tail, I'd be waving around with a patter.

I'm surprised (a lot) at how such a sister is doing, but Garam continues to explain.

"Let's get back to it, outside of us [the Fang Clan] around here were four clans: eyes and nails, tenderness, and tail. Other than" The Tail Family, "we've already sent out a messenger, so we'll have some reaction soon."

Gallam will then describe the family that he has just given his name to.

"First, the family of the eye, but they are also said to be the family of the sacrifice. The total number of the families themselves is small, but even less so that they can be called warriors. As a force of war, I expect it, but that clan has witch heads."

"Witchhead?

"He is the head of the witches who divide the sacrifices of his family. In our family, the woman is a witch, but when she was young, she went to train under the Eye Clan. So with the approval of the witch-head, he became an official witch.

Just because you're a witch-head doesn't mean you speak to other clans or have any particular power, but it's morale to ask if you can get that tattoo. "

Think of it as something like the total main mountain of religion, and the Ethereal Horse in comparison to what you think is close to in your knowledge.

In fact, Zoan's relationship between witches and witch-heads does not take the form of a clear religious organization as the Ethereal Horse thinks. Rather, it is close to the relationship between the master and the disciple.

"Families of Takeshi are a good lookout. Because of the large number of compatriots, they possess considerable power. However, the current chief seems indecisive and cannot be counted on."

Previously, Garam had a consultation with his compatriots who could not even fight, but the messenger of that reply came back yesterday, when the battle was over. It was also indecisive content that allowed me to think about it for a while longer.

"The" Tail Clan "has abandoned the plains and moved somewhere early in the day when human forces have grown stronger. I don't even know where he is and I didn't hear from him this time"

Besides, the pale horse was discouraged.

If we are to fight humans in the future, we must keep many warriors alone.

What the Ethereal Horse felt playing the simulation game was what he called "number is power".

It's not simply that more soldiers can win, but gathering more soldiers than your opponent is the basics first.

For that reason, I wanted to get as much clan help as possible, but I don't know where I am and I can't get in touch with you, I can't help it.

"The problem is Claw Clan and its chief, Kraga Bigana Zug."

The story tells us that Gallum doesn't favor Zug.

"What kind of person are you?

"In a nutshell, you're a beast"

Even though Zoan himself is close to the beast if you look from the Ethereal Horse, even more from that Zoan I was interested in a man named Zoog called the beast.

"Tell me as much about that zoog as possible"

"Mm-hmm. - Zoog and I have a little connection..."

Zoan, a redhead, is said to have a rougher temper than in ancient times, but Zoog was the man who seemed to embody it.

Once upon a time, when there was clan exchange, Garam and Zug, both of whom were called young warriors whose futures were already to be expected at the time, had fought as a pastime for the feast.

When it comes to battle, it's only a pastime, and it's about contents competing with each other's moves.

The battle was always dominated by Gallum, inferior in power but superior in skill, and after a fierce offense Gallum skillfully used two mountain swords, causing him to drop a mountain sword from Zug's hand.

So the referee raised his voice that there was a battle, and Gallam turned his eyes to you.

Oh, my God, Zoog jumped on Gallum with his bare hands.

Besides, a mountain knife wielded by Gallum was unluckily turned around Zoog's left eye, and the scene became a temporary commotion.

Later, Zoog explained, "I didn't hear much heat in the battle," but I had little to believe it.

Garam later came to apologize with a handful of souvenirs, although there was an affair with Zug, who had jumped in disregard of the voice of restraint, but had injured his hand on the son of a clan chief who was even in friendship.

But Zoog laughed and lied to Garam, who spoke the words of apology.

"Rumor has it, this wound is the most important souvenir."

And when I smile that I don't think is very friendly,

"Now I'd love to see that arm on the battlefield."

It was like provoking a real settlement on the battlefield.

Gallam then tells Shemr this when he returns to the village.

"At that time, if you didn't mean it, I would have been killed. A man who never wants to meet as an enemy on the battlefield."

Shortly afterwards, the human offensive grew more intense, each clan was to be divided into distant hills and mountains, and exchanges tended to be interrupted, but Zug rumors were still heard several times.

"For the first time on the battlefield, he fought like a mad warrior, feared only by his enemies or allies, and became known by the word" angry claw ".

"You're pretty strong."

He was a pale horse who spoke frankly of what he thought when he heard Gallam talk, but Gallam's response to it was a mixed emotion.

"Strong is strong. But more scary than that is his obsession with victory."

"Obsession?"

"That's right. He triumphs over pride. If you think you can't win, even if you're called a coward, you run away fine. Even if I lose, I won't give up. Until I can win, I'll just hold my breath and fly like a beast lurking in the bush if I see any chance of winning"

Gallum said at the end, in a painful tone:

"Angry Claw Kraga Bigana Zug is just like a beast."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Lord Soma to your son!

It was Shahata who was waiting for the two who came out of the chief's tent.

Since the fire attack, Shahata had come to refer to the Ethereal Horse as "Lord Soma," and to care about something such as talking to the Ethereal Horse.

"Mr. Shahata, what's wrong?

"I've been asked to complete my luggage."

That's what I was asking Zoan to make through Shemr.

Many human soldiers taken prisoner in earlier battles are unable to walk back to the fort on their own due to burns and injuries. to send those people back.

Shahata came all the way out here to look for the Ethereal Horse and tell him of its completion.

"By the way, um, are you okay now?

All Zoan knew that he had been ill since the fall of the Ethereal Horse until yesterday, not only Shahata, but also the Fang Family. Shahata went to report the completion of her luggage and asked about the condition of the Ethereal Horse.

"Excuse me. I'm sorry for your concern"

When the Ethereal Horse says so and apologizes, Shahata waves like she says it's outrageous.

"Didn't they force you to help us and get sick? If you're feeling better, most importantly."

Shemr said as he looked behind Shahata, who bowed his head deeply and walked away.

"Hmm. You're getting along a lot with Shahata."

"Yeah. Something's getting me very well."

Shemr was surprised.

Shahata was a bigot in the village. I never thought that he would do anything for someone or anything that always made a depressing look without trying to interact with anyone in the village.

That was my "you under the umbilical" virtue, and one pleasant Shemr.

"Your son."

One warrior called out to Shemr like that.

You've been hunting, and there's a raven hanging on your hips.

"What's up?

"I'm here to tail this guy, but, uh, let him eat."

The warrior walked away with the sleaze and the spot when he pressed the sleaze, which hung on his waist without telling anyone, into Shemr's hand.

Shemr, who was not new to these things, laughed bitterly.

"Don't be weird, just be honest"

The fact that the Ethereal Horse suffered a "Warrior's Cold" had brought about an unexpected change of heart among the Zoans.

For Zoan and the others, the Ethereal Horse was a creepy being called the Son of Death and Destruction.

Even when they told us that they were going to drive away the humans, they were forced to do just what the Ethereal Horse said, too, because Garam, the chief, and Shemr, your son, decided to follow what the Ethereal Horse said. The truth is, I never thought anyone could get rid of humans.

But he did it by means far removed from the common sense of Zoan's battle.

Besides, many Zoans have felt as strong a fear as Gurkaka

So much so that some of such compatriots even thought seriously about abandoning their families and fleeing.

But the Zoans, who heard that the pale horse had fallen due to a "warrior's cold," were taken aback.

For the Zoans, "Warrior's Cold" is only a rare disease suffered by immature warriors. It is a disgraceful disease, so to speak, which cannot be said much of a man.

If you can, you can assume that the ramblings ringing on the strong side were actually heard sneaking their futons dry every morning due to nocturia.

Until then, the more we feared the Ethereal Horse, the more ridiculous it seemed to Zoan that we were scared of the difference from that image.

On the contrary, I came to think that such a pitiful guy had driven us away from humans until we fell ill for ourselves, and that somehow turned into an assessment of "you're weak, you're hard to do".

Such changes are heavily influenced by Shemr, the Son they worship. "Is this what your son was looking at?" she interpreted herself as always on the side of the Ethereal Horse and was favourably received.

Of course, some had unparalleled feelings about the Ethereal Horse, but the Ethereal Horse's rating among the Fang Families was largely surprisingly high.

From previous history (whispers), it was not possible to speak to or thank the pale horses yet, but thus food and hunting prey could be delivered from time to time through Shemr.

Shemr was pleased that you, the Ethereal Horse under your umbilical cord, were being recognized by the family.

"Ah, it's your brother!

"It's your brother!

It was this brothers and sisters of Zita and Shepoma who favoured the Ethereal Horse as much as Shahata did among such a family.

"Brother, Asabou"

Saying so, Shepoma takes the right hand of the Ethereal Horse and tries to pull it to the mountain. The Ethereal Horse looks a little troubled and then throws his gaze at Shemr to ask you.

"Well, now that Soma doesn't have anything to do with it, isn't it good? Rather, I think what Soma needs to do now is get closer to his countrymen in this way"

The Ethereal Horse, with Shemr's forgiveness, walked out holding hands with Shepoma. Behind it, similarly hold hands with Zita and continue with Shemr.

Totally connected to a pale horse, Shepoma speaks with a full grin and pleasure.

"You know, you know. You can be your brother's daughter-in-law when you grow up."

"Oh well. Thanks."

"But your son-in-law needs to come hunting for plenty of prey. So brush your brother's hunting arm from now on."

At Zoan's behest, the son-in-law, the young man, is supposed to load his daughter's parents with mountains of prey he hunted on his own to obtain forgiveness. It is an act that demonstrates that I have so much power and that I will let my daughter live an unfettered life.

"Uh-huh. But it's hard for me to hunt."

"You've got to hang on, haven't you? You'll be my son-in-law."

At a young age, the Ethereal Horse also spilled a grin on Shepoma, who slapped her mouth a cloud ago.

"Well, I'll try my best."

"Yeah. Hang in there."

To such a smiling exchange, Zita pulled the arm of Shemru, who was looking at the two, with a small force, thinking, "It's something that I started to say to you that I didn't have, even at a young age".

"Hey, hey, you son"

Shemr looked down at Zita.

"What's up, Zita?

"My son, I'm afraid of your face. What's the matter with you?

"... do you?

Shemru beat his cheeks petite with wonder.
