Hakai no Miko

"Really, the kid doesn't remember things well."

Blurring with a heartfelt voice, Solon slapped the head of a pale horse with a textbook in his hand. Besides, the Ethereal Horse nods without a word to disprove.

By its side, Shemr was making his fangs squeak. If it's not included tightly from the Ethereal Horse, it's not a strange shape to be flying all the way around and tearing Solon apart.

"You fucking grandpa. You won't have to slap Soma on the head to teach her to read and write!

Solon snorts small at Shemr's words.

"Huh. He's tapping words into the head of a kid who doesn't remember things. I just want you to thank me."

Shemru's handkerchief broke on the grass. The Ethereal Horse rushes to stop Shemr, who strips his fangs with ghouls in an attempt to chew him off the throat flute. But even though Ayama might have really been killed, Solon giggled and showed herahela to Shemr, who was being held by the Ethereal Horse instead of being evil. Besides, Shemr teeth with remorse.

Recently, Solon was beginning to show his face at the Lords' residence when he had time.

Well, if you ask Shemr, "I'm just here to spoil the liquor". It is true that Solon was shocking alcohol every time he came. But what the hell was the change in mood? Even though he hated it so much, he had occasionally begun to teach the Ethereal Horse to read and write.

"Kid, don't you remember anything bad, no matter how much? Orphans are much better."

However, the study of reading and writing of the Ethereal Horse did not proceed as late as the solon could.

Without needing to be pointed out by Solon, that is something that the Ethereal Horse himself deplores. The basic thirty-two letters themselves were remembered for a long time. But when it was a combination of words, the Ethereal Horse became stuck.

I couldn't remember the words, and when the Ethereal Horse had his head, Eladia came there with a tea bowl.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have tea for you, so why don't you take a short break?

Prepared by Eladia is not a common tea in this world just smelled with vanilla, dried flowers, etc., but a Zoan-style tea. I hate solons who spill alcohol even though it's better than tea, and the concern that alcohol is also properly prepared.

Eladia first offered the freshly brewed tea to Shemr.

"... um. I don't think it's too bad."

After a sip of tea, Shemr says with a soaked face. Then Eladia also distributes tea to the pale horses.

Until now, it was Shemr's job to brew the tea that the Ethereal Horse drinks. However, it had recently become Eladia's.

That is because Eladia said:

"As far as I'm concerned, it's unsettling to see Master Shemr brewing tea."

I thought it was something weird, and when Shemr asked why, Eladia said:

"Master Shemr is the first minister of Master Soma. No, it is no longer an exaggeration to say that we are one and the same. It's painful to see someone like that doing more chores like you're letting Soma do it."

Besides, Shemr tied his lips all the time because his mouth seemed desperate to smell like a nigga. Then, pretending to be reluctant, he told her how strict it was.

"Hmm. Then I have no choice."

At that time, Zug, who happened to be there, gives an indescribable look to Garam, who was there as well.

"Hey, it's Gallum."

"... don't say anything"

Gallum refused with a face that looked like he had chewed up a hundred bitters together. But Zoog keeps saying whatever it takes.

"Wouldn't your sister be a little too easy?

"So I'd be telling you not to say anything!

Shemru, who didn't realize there was such an exchange behind him, was happy to teach Eladia how to make Zoan-style tea. And after that it was the work of Eladias and Elves to make tea to the Ethereal Horse.

The Ethereal Horse, who sipped the tea Eladia had brewed for me, spilled stupidity as she exhaled.

"The letters in this world are too difficult. The pronunciation and the letters don't match..."

Solon, who listens to it, only makes a rare face.

"Huh? Don't deceive your poor memory with weird logic, you idiot"

"But it is to me that the heads of" desks "and" walls "are the same letters" gale "..."

"What are you talking about? The head of" Desk "and" Wall "is the same?

Even though their stories aren't meshing with each other, the two of them are confused.

Eladia, who was listening to the conversation between the two next door there, faintly frowned at that thin brow.

"Dear Soma, can you take your time to tell us something?

As Eladia told him, the Ethereal Horse utters appropriate words such as, "It's sunny today". Then, finally, on Eladia's face, a look of confusion appeared so that I could see that it was so.

"Excuse me, Master Soma. Where the hell did you learn that word?

Said words, the Ethereal Horse realizes haha. Speaking of which, when I had just fallen into this world, I was able to speak normally at some point, even though Shemr and I struggled without words. In a rush, that was the norm, but it is a strange thing to think about carefully.

"What am I talking about?

When she looked at Shemr like she was asking for help, she tilted her little neck and said:

"My wife only asked me to connect you to the God of the Beast so that you could live in this world. Isn't that when you got the word, too?

They don't even know Shemr. Even if she tries to ask her grandmother directly, she is now in the village of "Fang Family" because of her old age. Even if you want to hear more about it, it's not something you'll see right away.

So I asked Eladia how she noticed something. Then Eladia said after hesitating for a long time that she was not sure and then prefaced with "Probably," she said.

"Master Soma, it seems that what you are talking about is the word of the gods - the word that the gods are using"

"The word God uses?

"It's my pleasure. - All the languages in this world are born and divided from the Word of the Gods. It is the source of words, the essence. For this reason, we are told that if we use the word of the Divine Generation, we will understand any word in this world and will pass again to the other person."

The Ethereal Horse remembers once again. In the carriage on the way to buy Dvarin from the slave traders and rendezvous with the Gallums, I was the only one who understood Dvarin's words. I didn't even care so much then, but now that I think about it, maybe Shemr was speaking in a language he didn't know.

Eladia puts her hand on her cheek and continues in a bewildered manner.

"But even the oldest who was in my village could only speak in one word. I didn't know anyone, including me, was so proficient in the language of the Divine Age that they spoke without making me uncomfortable as one..."

Hearing it, joy rushes through the body of the Ethereal Horse.

Cheat Ability Kitter!

I can converse with anyone who uses any language in this world. What a wonderful force. I was secretly crying about what an affair I was compared to the protagonist of Light Novell who had read in modern Japan that since I fell into this world, I was suddenly dying or getting a grace that only seemed to be a curse.

Come there, it is the language of the Divine Age.

Speaking of God I've seen since I came to this world, it's about that sexually vicious goddess. I didn't have a good impression of God because of that, but I even thought I could do that again a little bit.

"Dear Soma. I know this is disrespectful, but may I give it a try?

When the Ethereal Horse agrees with Eladia's suggestion, she wants me to tell her what it sounded like because she's about to say something. Eladia laughed prank-like and then said to Ethereal Horse, who had a small temper not to miss hearing it then and tried to concentrate on listening.

"I admire you"

In the sudden bomb statement, the face of the pale horse became bright red like this. Eladia does not cling to it and repeats the same thing five times flat.

"What did you hear?

It's a face that's obviously curious about my reaction.

The Ethereal Horse thought so.

This must be a tease. To a child like yourself, a beautiful woman like Eladia can't be willing to do that. It would be a good disgrace if you received the words on par. This place should be flat back.

It seems to me how unfamiliar a woman is to humiliate herself.

To calm his feelings, the Ethereal Horse coughed one before answering.

"You just repeated the same thing five times, didn't you?

Then, behold, those who were present on the spot will all look astonished.

"What a surprise. At least I used Elf and the language of the central continent."

"To me, I had no idea, but at least it didn't sound like I was repeating the same words"

I also forgot and agreed with Solon's words that Shemr would stick with something, and all this time.

Eladia bathes the cold water of her words in a pale horse who was even impressed that she was somehow amazing.

"Again, Master Soma, you have not been able to hear the difference between words. Isn't that why you can't remember to read and write?

"... well, what do you mean?

"There were no letters in the Divine Age just words. Letters are found in those born to separate from the Word of the Divine Age and to write down the Word after it has developed independently in its race and region. For this reason, no matter how many words of God we speak, it seems that we do not understand the letters"

If you ask me, Ethereal Horse reminds me that I still struggle to learn to read and write.

"If you can't hear the difference between words, it seems difficult to remember each letter that was born containing those differences of words"

When trying to write the word apple in English, for example, most people will think of the meaning of apple once it is converted to apple and pronunciation. But a blue horse that sounds the same in all languages is like having to suddenly think of the meaning of apple from the word apple. This is pretty hard.

The Ethereal Horse felt his fondness for the gods of this world plummeting because of this was about to go upwards.

Solon, who understood the cause of the poor reading and writing memory of the Ethereal Horse, also mourns and shows.

"Now it's hard for a kid to learn to read and write."

In the end, even after this, the Ethereal Horse could not remember the words of this world.

It is also a famous story that, in future generations, Soma Kisaki, the son of destruction, could not solve interpreters and converse with messengers visiting from any country or region, but could only do his name to the extent of reading and writing on the other hand.

Eladia said with a smile to Ethereal Horse and Solon, who poked their difficult faces at what was going on.

"Rest assured, Master Soma. We are here."

Eladia had only been dealing with people from various regions as a luxury whore and had mastered several languages. In addition to several languages in the centre of the continent, he said he also mastered the predominantly used Deirth language in this western region, even if it was only read-writable.

Knowledge of those languages is not the only one. Her loyalty to Soma was unquestionable from Solon's eyes. Also, from every part of her words and deeds, I can feel her brilliance.

As the person responsible for the proxy and proxy of the Ethereal Horse, it would be exactly who hit and followed it.

But Solon thinks.

I felt Eladia was too sensitive for Solon.

Smart people, therefore, tend to truncate wasted things in order to easily grasp the core of things.

But as far as Solon can tell, there is something a boy named Soma finds among things that others waste or are not enough to take in a different light than they do.

Even the other day, when I accidentally made something that would be sodium hydroxide, I wouldn't even have shown interest in ordinary lords, such as the one that the old man who drank me accidentally made. Even if you were interested, you wouldn't even come up with a use for it.

Isn't it something we should tell this boy that cuts him off as unnecessary in this way, rather with our own values?

Thinking about it, I've been wondering if Solon needs more honesty to the point of being more foolish than brilliant for the person in charge of the Ethereal Horse proxy and proxy.

In Solon's eyes, which came to such an idea, Shemr's appearance of sitting on the wall like a tease, either out of a sense of alienation that could not be added to the story.

"Hey, Beast Daughter. Hey, come on."

"Don't talk to me, motherfucker"

It is precisely this that there are no islands to attach.

"As a matter of fact, your Lord is in great trouble"

I didn't even want to talk to Solon who was handicapped by something, but I can't ignore him when he brings up the Ethereal Horse. What do you mean, stuck it in Solon?

"This one can't remember to read and write. This is gonna be trouble."

"Even if you can't read, write and do it, isn't it a problem?

Zoan is a species without letters. That's why I didn't feel inconvenient without the letters. These things were also one factor in man's contempt for Zoan as an undisclosed species, but that is another story.

To Shemr, who did not understand the situation, Solon shook his head exaggerated to show it.

"That's the problem. It's a big problem. I don't know about Zoan, but humans use documents to make promises. But the kid can't read that. And when you do, you're in a lot of trouble."

Solon chewed it up and explained, as he also told the child.

"For example, I have a piece of paper that says I will give you one cow, so I say sign it. You can't read. But let's just say I signed it, believing what I said. But instead of what I'm saying, it says here that you're giving me ten cows."

"Oh my God! You're trying to fool me! I didn't promise you that!

"For example, for example! But in the human world, they say you signed this. The rest of them did write their names on the contract, and I'll tell them you're sorry."

Shemr didn't seem too sure.

"Think of human beings as that. - That doesn't mean you need someone who can read instead of a kid."

"Hmm. I kind of figured it out. But I wish there was someone who could read it instead, right?

"But here's a further problem. What happens if a guy who can read a letter betrays a kid?

"What happens?

"That naturally tells the kid a complete lie about what it says. In that case, the kid will be in trouble again. In order not to do that, those who can read must be trustworthy who will never betray the kid."

Though in vain, Shemr, who understood what Solon was trying to say, nodded.

Solon, who saw it through, changes the story with a blurry face.

"By the way, daughter of the beast. I always thought your loyalty to the lad was full."

It's not that big of a deal.

That's what I said in my mouth, and Shemr's nostrils were moving pimply good.

"I'd like to ask you one thing like that, can anyone assure me that they'll never betray the kid? That is the one who can assure you that he will never betray the lad, whether requested or threatened by his parents, brothers or chiefs of his clan."

Shemr prided himself with his chest up, as he said "ehem."

"Then, regardless, it's up to me!

What a subtle look the Ethereal Horse has somehow been able to read about the fall, he sees such a shemle.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. - Let's start with the handwriting."

Shemr said, "Huh?" and round his eyes.

"Let's start by writing twenty letters each. When you're done with that, you'll remember it from a simple word."

A solon that prepares tables of letters and paper and pens for writing that Ethereal Horse was using to practice in a delightful way before Shemr, who makes his eyes black and white for unexpected developments. I can't say I don't like it because of the way the words go, Shemr sees the pale horse with what a pitiful face.

"So-Ma......"

"Eh...... good luck Shemr!

The Ethereal Horse, who was in pain of the difficulty of remembering the letters, also pushes Shemr to study with all this luck. Shemr was stunned by this betrayal of "you under the umbilical", to whom he gave his allegiance, and nodded.

"Look, what are you doing. Not for the kid. Why don't you just do it!

To the ever-grumpy Shemr, Solon makes a breakthrough. Then Shemr looked up again, too.

"Right. That's for Soma!

Shemr also changes his mind. I was just feeling less powerful lately than the people around me. In martial arts and knowledge, no matter how hard you try, you're not far from them. But if you remember this letter and the dots, they say it will definitely help Soma. Then I will remember you with my own pride.

Shemle, who so decides, grips the pen.

"All right! Damn Grandpa, you just have to write this down twenty at a time"

In the mood as if to go to the battlefield, Shemr grabbed the pen and turned to the paper for writing.

Solon punches Pokhari in the head of a pale horse who used to stare at Shemru for freeing him from such studies.

"Holy shit, kid! You can at least write your own name!

In the end, the Ethereal Horse was to practice writing alongside Shemr's desk.

On those two sides, Solon, when he cut the paper with a knife, bound it and made a booklet through the string with a familiar hand.

"Hey, Beast Daughter. Keep this."

Receiving the booklet thrown at Solon, Shemr tilts her neck to say what this is.

"Studying is something you want to do, something you don't have to do. Write anything in that booklet. Whatever you need to remember or do on that day, just write it every day."

"I see. - Then I have something to write about. Tell me how to write it."

"Hey, hey, hey. Come on. What do you want to write about?

A small booklet Shemr had in his hands at this time.

It is, in the far future, said to be one of the great discoveries of modern times when it is discovered, and it is the "Memorandum of Shemr" that will be reported to the rest of the world as startling news.

This "Memorandum of Understanding of Shemr" sees somewhat excessive praise for the Son of Destruction, Soma Xaki, but even if it is taken into account, it is not an exaggeration when it comes to studying the ancient history of the Continent of Cerdeas - among other things, the Son of Destruction.

But on the first page of that precious material is the next sentence, written in letters that are as if the mites had cursed.

"Good luck for Soma"

What a smile it is to think of Shemr desperately studying reading and writing.

Solon, who had thus worked so hard to satisfy Shemr, studied the handwriting, reached for the sake pot in an effort to sip it into the dish. But the liquor pot that should have been there disappears, and Solon's hand cuts off the sky.

Where did my booze go? and looking around, Solon meets Eladia, who has cleaned out a liquor pot with a tea bowl with a face that doesn't eat anything.

Eladia smiled and showed her.

"Master Solon, you can drink now, can't you? I'll clean it up."

It is the blatant return of interest of Eladia, who was deprived of the executive role of proxy and proxy of the Ethereal Horse in front of him.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Michena, the lead treasurer, came to where Ethereal Horse and Shemr were practicing their words. To give Aoima regular financial status. The Ethereal Horse also often stops his hand holding the pen and listens to Michena's report.

Given the embezzlement of former treasurers, it was only natural for Aoima to require Michena to report regularly.

But now it is also almost nothing more than formal. Already, that's all the trust Michena had gained from the Ethereal Horse.

Michena is never the owner of superior abilities. But Ethereal Horse highly valued her work in truthfully cutting up finances.

Compared to humans in this world, he was a Ethereal Horse who would have outstanding computational abilities even with mathematical knowledge of high school degree alone, but it is yet another story that can be computed and managed financially. For such a pale horse, it was definitely an unexpected fortune to have found Michena early in the city's rule.

"Eh, this number... - I'm sorry. I haven't been able to be this" alas number "yet..."

That's how Michena made her mourn when she got caught up in the Arabic numbers so many times in the report. Michena, who was really familiar with the previous numbers, I think it's groundbreaking, but it still looks like she's stuck with Arabic numbers.

"You idiot!

Such a reprimand flies to Michena.

"You can write down so many numbers just by remembering ten! Don't use this, don't use what!

It was Solon who blamed Michena for the awesome sword screen.

He had also been taught Arabic numbers by the Ethereal Horse for his studies in the orphanage, but unlike Michena, who was still struggling, he absorbed it at an alarming rate and had already reached the point of teaching the orphans.

And it was also Solon who insisted strongly on using Arabic numbers for the city's finances.

"But this zero thing is refreshing to me... 'Cause there's nothing there, right?

It's very common for modern people, but Michena really couldn't seem to be the concept of zero.

"That's why! That's exactly what this zero should be called the essence of what" Arabic Numbers "are. Indicates that there is nothing that is missing. I was even impressed when I heard this! Kid, you're a genius!

He was a pale horse praised for letting go, but unfortunately it wasn't himself who came up with the zero.

"No. I wasn't thinking about it. I'm sure the Indians invented it."

"Oh, I would love to meet that Indian Jin!

When Ethereal Horse explained that he was a figure hundreds of years before he was born, Solon regretted treading on the community too much.

After one bitter laugh at that drunken madness, Michena closes her report when she gets serious.

"To be honest, we can never say the status quo is good. Wheat tax revenues are really falling because of all the separation of some pioneering people or because we moved on to new land or promised tax exemptions. It also hurts to invest in glass and build new workshops in addition to the still ongoing beating of Jeboa's wheat"

To Michena's honest report, Ethereal Horse will also have a sinister face. But that was not the end of the report.

"But soybean cultivation and cattle husbandry have gone well, which has given new pioneers a start. And not just glass, but soap and distilled liquor. We'd like to see you soon."

That's "The Great Ugly of the Shapiro Chamber of Commerce". Ears fast.

The Ethereal Horse smiled so bitterly.

"Along with the offer of the meeting, a large amount of money was sent as a deposit for the purchase of glass. But there's too much of anything. Probably an advance investment in soap and distilled liquor. Master Joash is expected to sell quite a few of those products."

So Michena loosens her expression.

"The situation will still be tough. But let me tell you my personal view, it feels so good right now."

She also seems to find it somewhat rewarding to join the efforts of the Ethereal Horse to launch a new force in this city of Bornis.

And that is all the more so for the Ethereal Horse.

"Yeah. Thanks. - Not yet, but I'll have the country someday. We went for a big country that wasn't pushed or pushed."

To the words of that pale horse, Michena smiled, and Shemr nodded ununung.

But there is a laugh that blows up the air surrounded by its serene joy.

"Uh-huh! Is that a big country? This makes me laugh!

It was a solon.
