"Come on, Ulu will have dinner too."

In the middle of the banquet, I couldn't get into the mansion, so the meat and bones that would have crushed the whole livestock were also behaved under Ulu, who was in the backyard. Ulu hits the meat with joy for the first time in a long time.

I'm quite accustomed to this gorgeous plenty of food, but it's always powerful to look at. I wonder what a taketo that sat on a garden stone and looked at to cool its burning body with alcohol.

At the banquet, as soon as the number of drinks in the cup dropped at all, various people suggested drinking, so I got completely drunk when I was drinking as they were told.

Karon and Brigitta were drinking at more than twice the pace of the taco, but still had a cool face. I think those two are monkeys or monsters as far as liquor is concerned.

Chante must have been tired. She said that she had fallen asleep, so she rented out the back room and took a rest.

"Ah, it feels so good, here."

The intense sun of the desert is also blocked by the leaves of coconut plants that grow around the pond. The wind passing through the pond of Oasis was cool and pleasant.

If you think you can't take a nap here, you can hear the sound of the sand crushing from the Mansion.

When I saw it, the chief, Sil, almost came to us. I can't see you now.

Can I have a word with you?

"Ah... yes. Please!"

As the tacket avoided the stone, Sil lowered his hips next to him.

I wasn't sure what to say, and when I was finished eating and watching Ulu doing her hair, I talked to Sil.

"Thank you very much for this.... to be honest, we are also very surprised. We desert people have lived in this desert for centuries. In its history, sand whales are like landscapes and gods of awe. That's what it was."

Her eyes narrowed as if she looked far away. I suppose you're thinking about the legend from ancient times.

"The legend tells us that sand whales can manipulate wind and rain. But I've never heard the story of a rough outburst."

"That's right...."

Sand whales sometimes move around quietly, but they have existed in the desert for a long time as such.

The story of the sand whale before it broke out was already told to her before the banquet began, as far as Taketo knew. Though speculative, sand whales manipulated the weather as soon as the device was installed and eventually ran wild. Besides, he told me everything that stopped the runaway when the tacket broke the device.

"That thing on your waist is the weapon that stopped the sand whale."

Sil told me, and Taketo pulled the Spirit Gun out of the holster that he lowered to his waist and showed it to him.

"Yes, I'm finally getting used to it."

"... where did you get that gun?

While feeling suspicious about the tone of Sil, he answers remembering what happened when he got it.

"It's in the Royal Palace's warehouse. It seems that it has not been used for a long time, and it has been covered with dust for a long time. I polished it the other day when I was free, and it was pretty shiny."

"Yes... in the royal palace"

Sil reached out to the Spirit Gun of the Taketto and stroked it with his fingers. Then, as if you had touched something hot, your fingers were snapping apart.

……

Taketo wondered how Sil was doing, and she laughed small.

"The chiefs of the people of the desert are chosen from among the powerful who see the spirits from generation to generation. It is very important to watch the movement of spirits to live in the desert. I was also elected chief of the clan in anticipation of its power. That's why I know.... that gun seems to contain something incredibly powerful."

"Heh? Big power???... this is in the Royal Palace's warehouse. Even if I took it out, nobody told me anything."

Sil nodded quietly to a taket that surprised him with words he never thought he would.

"Yes. Big... fierce power. I wonder if no one remembers that history or legacy anymore and has sealed something in the distant past."

"I don't know...."

I couldn't believe Sil's words, and Taketo looked at the Spirit Gun, but I didn't see anything unusual. Compared to the Bazooka type Spirit Gun I got at Sheila Spirit Peak before, although it is true that this one has a delicate decoration on the barrel and grip, I didn't think of any other particular difference.

"There's nothing more pleasant to be on your side, but there's nothing more scary to be on your side. It's just...."

"Ah, Taketo. I was here."

I heard a voice I was used to hearing. Turning to you, it was Chante. It must have just happened. I rubbed my eyes and came here.

"Chante, is that enough? That dress?"

Chante wore a bright orange sari instead of the usual dress. The ethnic costume of the people of the desert. She walked around with joy. Exotic, she looks a little older than usual.

"Yeah, he lent me his clothes. Does it suit me?"

Taketo laughs at her somehow shy.

"It looks really good on you."

"Really!? I'm glad."

A smile spread out over her face.

"Come on, both of you, go back to the hall. It smells good. This is the smell of Corio burning up. All the children of the desert love sweets. I need you to eat it too."

"But...."

Still concerned about Sil's sealed stuff, Sil smiled at the tacket and pushed Ton and his back.

"I wonder if you could do well with anything in it. That's what I feel."

When Sil told me that, I had to believe it myself. Tacket had no idea what was in this gun, but it was the only weapon he could use right now.

When the three of them went back to the hall, the sweets with just the right fragrance were carried in piles on a large plate.

It was like baking a filling made of palm trees covered with rice flour and coconut, with a very sweet and slightly nostalgic taste.
