Your body sinks into the water. I wonder if this is a dream or a horse running lamp or a delusion. Or is it real?
The tacket couldn't judge.
I hear you want to die. Humans. Why do you go so far? "
That's what the voice asked me.
(I don't know what they said.)
There is no clear reason.
But...
(Just, I couldn't forgive you)
Can't forgive me?
My vision had long been blacked out. Just talk with your mind. Taketo was going to nod, but his body's senses were blurry.
(I couldn't forgive you. I couldn't allow the creature to be treated as a mess by a human wagamma.)
I eat meat myself. I think it can't be helped if it's alive, and I don't care.
I think so.
But poaching, overfishing, and illegal trade are different.
Indiscriminate catch as fur for preferences. Bad animal factory. Sometimes, animals were killed every day in a brutal way that didn't hurt their fur, and the factory was picked up.
Animals and plants are frequently smuggled for pets in your country. To hide, they are pushed into narrow areas of their bags and luggage, trapped in their pockets, and small animals and birds are transported into pet bottles without movement for decades. Naturally, many animals die. The poachers also set the price of distribution by taking into account the loss or death.
I've seen a lot of such things. Sometimes I vomited so cruelly and outrageously. Sometimes I couldn't keep my head off my head forever and I was flattered.
So I can't forgive you. People who do that. General people who consume without knowing it.
But I can't help telling the world that. They don't want to see it, they don't want to know, they can easily buy it, they can market it.
So...
(At least I want to be on the protective side. I want to stop it by the water)
Not as many creatures are within my reach.
(I want to help)
It's just that pure thoughts.
…………
(Hey, so... Please help me. Now we may still be in time)
Don't kill me, don't hurt me. We may both be able to help.
No man, no beast. So...
Help me!!!!!! Kelpy!!!
A little silence.
Something touches your hand, which until then only grabbed the void. A sharp, but definite feel like Tategami. The tacket clutched to the feeling. Your body lifts against the flow.
Very well. I haven't thanked you yet. "
In the rough turbidity, I felt the sound of my hooves roaring.
The tacket comes out of the water. It stuck to something like a yellow-green horse. Kelpy rushes up from the turbid stream with the tacket on his back. Running up the water as if it were a slope in the stream, Kelpy kicked the water out with his limbs.
"Ho-ho-ho-ho... oh, I got my reward."
As he coughs up the water in his lungs and spits it out, the bait says so.
You must have given everything I gave you to other people. I was watching. I wanted to repay you. It's not for other people. "
"... I just got it. Ring"
To that extent, I won't be able to repay you. And perhaps this, too.
Kelpy ran over the water with his tacket on. It was as fast as the wind across the sea.
"I came here because I heard a scream."
"Screaming?"
I heard it through the water. It was a sad scream. Human. Not your voice. The voice of our companions close to the Spirit. "
"A sand whale...."
I remember sand whales screaming several times before I started running. Looks like this Kelpy came to hear about it.
Is there a way to make it a town Shizu ?
The tacket nodded. Apparatus mounted over sand whales. If we can break that, maybe.
"But to do that, we have to climb to the back of that sand whale."
No problem. I am the family of the water.
Kelpy drives straight through unobstructed water. The giant sand whale that immediately ran ahead approached a distance where it could also be caught in the sight of the tacket.
I can go anywhere as long as there is water. Let's go, human.
"Oh, please!
Kelpy's feet go fast with the sound of a tacket. He sprinkled a splash of water and ran over the water with his fat limbs. Mirumi, the giant sand whale is approaching.
Taketo searched for Ulu, but he couldn't find them within sight. They may have gone further ahead to attack the sand whale.
I don't know how far I've come. In the first place, it was around the desert that the octopuses discovered the sand whale. The distance from Oasis is unlikely to be too high. There was no immediate respite.
"Let's go, Kelpy!
The sand whale's terraced copper tail is just around the corner. Kelpy ran right next to the sand whale and ran along for a while. And watching the timing, he flies gently onto the body of the sand whale and runs up its tail. Unlike Ulu, Kelpy's hooves were snugly attached to the surface of the sand whale, running the surface of the sand whale in the same way as when running on the water.
However, the angle of Kelpy's body running on the slope gradually increases. The tacket stuck to its long neck so as not to fall.
"Don't fall, human."
"Oh, I know!
While clinging to Kelpy, which leans at a large angle, the tacket looks gently down. The surface of the water seemed to be far down, and the fly accidentally crushed his liver. We are at least 50 meters high from the ground. He traversed the slope in a rather unstable position. If you let go of your hand, you will not be saved first.
The tacket raised its face and looked forward. In the heavy rain, you can see something suspicious, like a small red glow. That's where the Tackets are headed. It's the device the White Hood installed.
Kelpy climbs up the sand whale's spine. Because of the stable posture, if Kelpy's torso was firmly pinched with his feet, he could afford to let go of one hand.
I took the Spirit Gun from the holster that was spinning around my waist and shifted the rotary magazine to check the Magic Stone bullets inside. What remains now are three red magic stones and one blue magic stone. Red is fire, blue is water. All the other spare magic stones were in the bag. The bag is not here because it went somewhere when it drowned. This is all the Magic Stone bullets Taketo has now. If I don't use it carefully, I order my liver to use it.
"Hey, Kelpy. You're like a water polo, so you can attack."
Ah
"You see that? A red dot that looks straight ahead. That's some kind of device. After that was installed, the sand whale went crazy and started to run away. So if we can smash it down or get rid of it, maybe the sand whales will go insane."
I see. Let's do it.
At the same time that Kelpy said so, the rain that fell around him stopped in the air as if time had stopped. And the rain gathers quickly, and you can get a few water balls like a dotch ball.
Kelpy shakes his neck forward as he rushes toward the red device, and the ball of water overtakes the tackets and flies forward at high speed. It hits the red device like a bullet, but it doesn't destroy it, it sprays and scatters.
"I can't....."
That is protected by the Spirit of Water. It's not compatible with my power. "
"I guess I'll have to do it..."
I am not yet confident in handling Spirit Guns. But I'm sure there's only one person I can do it with. I couldn't have hesitated.
At that moment, Kelpy's body wobbled.
"What's wrong?
About a third of the sand whale's body was about to rise diagonally. Taketo immediately realizes the meaning of the move. Sand whales are trying to open their mouths.
(That's right. The moment I opened my mouth, Ulu was supposed to attack!
