Back to the place, in the abandoned house.

Suddenly, both the big man and the tacket were stunned by what had happened to the flaming building. But while doing so, the walls and ceilings burn more and more, and the fire begins to turn to the floor.

The chicks are as happy as the flames, Pee! Pee! Pee! Pee! I was jumping with joy with my little feathers. Then, it pops out of the window.

After seeing the situation, the tacket returns to me.

"Run! We'll burn too!

The big guy's voice, oh, wow. At the same time, the door of the room opened with a bang.

"Head! What the hell is this!?

Probably one of the big guy's poachers. Looks like there's four or five of them. Suddenly, surprised that the building had burned down, he came to ask for instructions from the leader, the big man. I don't even know what happened to the bait. However, there is no doubt that if we do not escape now, we will burn to death.

"You guys, run! This building is over! Ah, yes. Your people are rolling in the room in front of you, so take him with you!!

What are these guys doing for a second, being told by a strange tacket? You said that, but you understand that you don't have time to worry about that.

Soon one of the men opened the door in the front room and said, "Hey, are you okay? Who did this to you?" while pulling out a sentinel man who looked like a potato bug.

It is obvious that the outsider's tacket did what no one did, but there is no time to argue now. He also helped the bait and threw the guard out the window, and the bait jumped over the window frame and jumped out.

As soon as you land on the grass, you run away from the building. Looking back, the abandoned house was burning vigorously in the darkness of the night.

"Nh, what the hell happened..."

But the reason quickly came to me. Another large chunk of flame floats over a burning abandoned house. A sole with wings spread wide over the abandoned house. It was Phoenix.

"My mother bird is here to pick me up....."

A soft black shadow falls at the beginning of the tacket's vision, staring at the Phoenix and the burning building. It was Ulu. If you look closely, you can also see Brigitta on his back. Looking at my buddies' faces, I was relieved to see the expression of the tacket.

"What about Chante and the others?

Without a doubt, I saw Chante and Karon running towards us from the burning abandoned house.

"I'm surprised! When I asked for the chance to enter, the house suddenly burst into flames."

Chante comes running with that.

Karon beasts into a black leopard and carries two men on his shoulders. Apparently, they've rescued the late escaped poacher. As they lowered the men to the ground, they ran away from Karon in a frightened manner.

"I've checked inside, but it looks like there's no one left."

"Yeah, maybe upstairs, too. I think they're all evacuating."

When Taketo reported to Karon,

"Chikushi-ooh, you're almost rich. Damn it!!!

I heard such a wild scream.

A little away from the tacket, the big man pointed something like a bazooka cannon at Phoenix.

From that cylinder, I thought the white smoke had gone up, and a bright white lump flew towards Phoenix.

White sparkling snowy chunks fly straight to Phoenix. Phoenix, however, had no escape and winged big. Then something like a sphere of flame emerges between the wings. Phoenix threw it at the flying white lump. White lumps lose to the flame's momentum and break apart lightly. The fragments, which were illuminated by the flames, danced to the ground with a red sparkle.

"Don't waste anything. No matter how weak Phoenix is to ice spirits, no matter how surprised he shot him in a narrow nest, when he shot at the face in such a wide place, there was no way that such a thing could be against the beast?

And this is the Bridget that stays spanning Ulu.

Yes. In the nest of Sheila Spirit Peak, they attacked Phoenix with ice spirits, like those barrels. Remember Phoenix lying white near the nest. But this attack didn't seem to work at all.

When the big man took a pure white bullet-like magic stone out of his trousers pocket without sagging, he put it in a cylinder and turned it back to Phoenix. But Phoenix moved faster than he shot. Phoenix once again poured a big, winged flame on his body and threw it at the big man.

"Ghhhhhhhh!!!

Fire pillars rose in the presence of a big man. The big man burst into flames in an instant. The unpleasant smell of burning meat and hair floats around. When the big man fell on his knees in the pylon, he stopped moving.

Seeing it, the other poachers who had taken refuge outside the abandoned house fled in a hurry.

"Taketo! We're evacuating too! Phoenix is angry. It's dangerous to be here! They don't distinguish between humans! We'll burn too!!!

"Taketo, hurry up!

Karon and Chante were already on Ulu's back. The tacket rushed towards Ulu. But right in front of it, a lump of flame flew in and blew up on the ground. The tacket stopped by accident.

The flames came from Phoenix. I knew this time I was attacking the Tackets. Phoenix does not distinguish between who is on its side and who is the enemy. I'm sure all humans look like enemies targeting chicks.

"Taketo! Hurry!!!

I can hear Chante screaming.

We have to get out of here. It burns like that big guy. I know that.

"Ah...."

The tacket was stuck. Shortly before that, a few meters above the tacket, there was a Phoenix with a flame floating in the darkness. In contrast to the flames of the body, Phoenix's black eyes, which are as cold as ice, look down at us, and I can't let go.

It's like a frog stared at by a snake. What's there is the overwhelming power difference. Differences in character as organisms.

Phoenix starts winging big again. As it matches, the red body swells up as if it were wrapped in flaming clothes. Just like when I burned the big guy. Looks like they're throwing a flamethrower at us.

The moment of death is approaching. But there was an overwhelming fear and another strange feeling in Taketo's heart.

(What a beautiful creature...)

I felt it the first time I saw Ulu, but what a beautiful beast. How divine, powerful. It must be overwhelming. That's what I thought.

If you're going to be killed by something as beautiful as this. If this is the last view I saw, That's not good? Even that kind of feeling boils.

And there it is. From the back, I heard a thump.

Huh?

Taketo returns to me. There was something big and fluffy on the head of the tacket. Fluffy, yellow, round. It was a chick.

The chick squeaks and squeaks on the head of the bait. It seemed like he was desperately suing Phoenix for something.

Other chicks stopped by around the tacket and rang at Peepy and her mother, Phoenix. It was like a chick chorus.

Pipipipipipipipipipi--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's like, "Mom! He's not an enemy! I felt like I was saying that. Maybe Taketo just wanted to think so.

Looking at the chicks, Phoenix weakens the wings. The wings that had sprinkled the fire powder so vigorously just now slowed down.

And Phoenix is Queee! And one cried sharply. In line with this, the chicks busily move out the little feathers. As the chicks under their feet ran out to bounce with their little yellow feet, their bodies floated up fluffy with their wings. Fly towards Phoenix with a patter of wings.

The chick on the tacket's head, too, Pee! And when one rang, the patter and the blade moved hard and flew away. When the six chicks fly to the Phoenix of the mother bird, they climb onto its back. The chicks that jumped on the back of the mother bird as if they were shuffling, seemed very happy.

Phoenix again.

Quuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

and rang.

It was a warm sound, unlike any noise I'd ever heard.

Phoenix glanced at us with his wings wide open, then turned away and flew away with the chicks on board.

Phoenix and chicks wrapped in flames are gradually becoming smaller. The figure disappeared beyond the mountainside, and finally Taketo felt that his body had returned to freedom, and he knelt on the spot to collapse. Around this time, I noticed that my whole body was sweating and stuffy.

"Taketo, are you okay?

Chante, who came down from Ulu, rushed in and shouted worriedly.

"Uhh, yeah... something.... yes, where are the other poachers?

The Captain's eldest man was hit by Phoenix, but the others must have escaped.

"Yeah, we have to catch him now. The tacket is resting. They should still be around here, so I think we can handle it alone."

I was grateful for Chante's offer. Feel fatigued by the recoil freed from extreme tension. I don't want to move another finger.

"Okay. I'm sorry... ah, I'm tired!!!

When the tacket sits flat on the ground, it rolls on its back as it is.

This completes Taketto's first job.

Even though the moon was rising, an incredible number of stars were blinking in the night sky.

With Karon's help, all the poachers who escaped by midday the next morning could be held captive. Afterwards, the poachers were handed over to the city guards' lockup along the street. They will be judged according to the laws of the Kingdom.

Incidentally, the poacher's leader used a weapon in the form of a bazooka cannon, so I seized it thoroughly.

And finally, I will report this to the village chief in Sheila's village. Back in the village, the priest had already returned to the village. According to him, after the tukets left the Sheila Peak nest, he took herbs from the mountain and looked after Phoenix, as he told the tuket. However, when Phoenix recovered slightly and his wings were able to move, he broke the priest's restraint and flew off Sheila Spirit Peak.

She was worried and couldn't stand, but a few hours later, Phoenix flew back to the spiritual peak. Now, wrap up the six chicks.

And Phoenix flew around the village and spiritual peak several times with the chicks, and then flew away without a trace.

He said with a little loneliness that he must have gone for a safer place to rest.

But I'll see you one day. If the chicks grow up and stand on their own, that Phoenix will probably come back to this mountain again. I hope so. While listening to the priest, Taketo thought about it.
