A low groan echoing from the bottom of Forest Cat's belly dominates the area.
The Goddess Church people look for the Lord of Voices in a frightened gaze, but no one else is visible in the village square. That giant Forest Cat was nowhere to be found. He's disappearing. Even footsteps are hardly made by cat-specific ways of walking.
Bash.
Another robe blew up.
Wow, ahhhhhhhh
Unable to endure the tension and fear, one of the men surrounding the tackles crouched through his hips and screamed. Everyone else's face is drawn to fear. Some of them had water reservoirs at their feet. I wonder if she is incontinent.
"You said I was following Forest Cat, but that was a misunderstanding. It was his will that got me on Forest Cat. They move with their reason. Not like humans. We humans are just overwhelmingly weak compared to them, and we're only allowed to be with them when their beasts come to us at random."
And the tacket says to the armor with the muzzle pointed. Now that the bald man called the priest has blown up, the most obvious thing to tell is that he is watching carefully while pointing the tip of the sword at us.
"It's probably what Forest Cat wants, but it's Kenneth's cure. You must be angry because you're stopping me from giving Kenneth the medicine. It's just... there's no doubt that Forest Cat is still a lot of trouble right now."
That's the size. It's not a bear-to-bear ratio, is it? If you are beaten with your natural strength, you must not be able to retain prototypes such as the human body.
But the first priest attacked blew away the bush. There, I can see glittering shadows. Perhaps the priest is not dead. On the contrary, it appears to have been hit by a drop and barely even wounded.
"Cats are predators. If he's serious about attacking, he can't even make a mess of you.... now he may forgive me if I stop trying to give Kenneth the medicine. But if we stop here any longer, Not to mention if Kenneth dies because of you. Neither I nor you can guarantee your lives. What do we do...?
That said, it encourages judgment in the leather armor.
The leather armor was silently listening to the tacket. I showed him how to patrol a little, but the sword that was pointing at the tacket was put into a sheath.
"... okay. The priest is also good."
Skinny armor shouts to priests who don't come out of bushes, but bald men don't respond. I may not even have the strength to respond anymore.
When I whisper my tongue, I tell them that the leather armor will be retrieved by securing those who have fallen into the other Goddess Church. And there was no one to dispute.
"You like Forest Cat, right?
There was nothing to respond to the voice of the tacket, but the roar that seemed to echo at the bottom of my stomach just now disappeared.
When the Goddess Church people retrieved the fallen ones and put them on horses, they left the village in pieces. Finally, when the leather armor bows to us, the bald man is carried on his shoulder and rides in the carriage, and they also leave the village.
When he saw it, the tacket took the knife out of the bag and cut the rope that tied Chante's arm. As soon as I got rid of the monkey, I ran to Kenneth's house.
Kenneth's parents and the village chief stood at the door with worrying expressions.
"Sorry, it's been a long time."
That said, I take the medicine I received in Tittalt's city out of my bag and hand it over to the village chief.
The village chief nodded small with a bottle of medicine.
"Definitely this medicine. Besides, are you okay...? They are."
I'm sure they saw the distant noise caused by the Goddess Church.
"I'm sorry, we can't do anything."
Unfortunately, Kenneth's father said, but Taketo shook his head sideways.
"Never mind. It's our job to get rid of that. Just don't go out now. Forest Cat is still close. I don't think I'm going to harm you... just in case."
The village chief hurried to Kenneth's room with the medicine he had received from Taketo.
Kenneth seemed to be asleep, but his breathing was terrible. There was a lot of sweat on my forehead.
The village chief takes out the syringe and injects the medicine into Kenneth's arm.
"... that's all we can do. All we have to do is entrust it to the gods of the forest and earth."
Murmuring to pray like that, Kenneth gently put his arm back into the blanket.
"Come on, you must be pretty tired too. My wife is waiting at home for a warm breakfast. You should rest slowly. Thank you so much for being so far away."
Kenneth's parents also bowed their heads deeply to the bait, in line with the village chief's words.
"No... no..."
I don't know what to say back when I'm like this, and I'm falling apart. I wish I could say, "You're welcome," smartly, but I'm embarrassed somewhere.
Nevertheless, I was not sleepy at all because I was nervous, but I was sure I was tired. I'm also hungry.
Sweeten to the village chief's words and let him rest for a while. So Taketo and Chante left Kenneth's house.
However, as he approached the village chief's house, Taketo stopped thinking of something.
"That's right. Rest at the village chief's house first."
"What's wrong?
"There's something I'm curious about. I'll be right there."
Chante looked strange, but nodded after being a little lost.
"Yeah, okay.... yes. I was a little worried, too. Um...."
Hmm?
Chante keeps on saying things, even though it's hard to say.
"You know... those guys back there. There was a big man in leather armor, wasn't there?
"Ahh....."
Remember the man who put a sword on the tacket. He was the only one wearing leather armor.
"That's him. A little pronunciation, did you realize that intonation was different from other people?
"Huh? Oh, really? No... that's it."
Thanks to the magic stones that Karon drank, there was no inconvenience in speech, but the intonation was so different that Taketto was not yet accustomed to the language here.
"That pronunciation... maybe, but... I felt like the pronunciation of the region where I was born."
"That's...."
Chante nods.
"Maybe. I think he's from Imperial territory."
The Virginian Empire. Some of its borders are now bordered by this kingdom of Genia.
Previously, Commander Varvara said Chante was protected from falling near the border. At that time, Chante was chanting imperial accents.
"Really... the Empire..."
If so, what does this mean? What were you doing with them in the realm of the Goddess Church...? Why were you so desperate to get Forest Cat over there?
(... it feels awful.)
I don't know what it was, but it seemed like such an ominous feeling as burning my chest was getting worse.
"I will report it to the Royal Palace, including that. I'll write you a report later."
Ask the bat for the message "Fumi", which Karon kept for contact.
Incidentally, since bats are lunchtime, they should be sleeping in Chante's pochette, which is in the room rented by the village chief by now. The sun has risen, so it may be time to get up.
After Chante's back disappeared towards the village chief's house, Taketo raised his voice as he looked around.
"Forest Cat!"
I thought he might still be around here.
"Kenneth is alive. The medicine was in time. Thanks to you. Thank you."
He won't answer. I wish I had listened somewhere, and while I thought so, Taketo also tried to go to the village chief's house.
Nhhhhh
Behind the tacket. From above, the cat's voice was heard, and the tacket turned happily.
There was a soot in the sunset sky.
On the roof of Kenneth's house was a larger Forest Cat body than the house itself.
Nhhhhh
Once again, Forest Cat sounds.
Maybe Kenneth was worried about her and stayed out of sight forever.
Beautiful. Elegant. Big cat.
"Forest Cat...."
Taketo looked up at the male figure and felt a pain in the back of his nose. Maybe he was about to cry.
I remember what I said to the Goddess Church.
The Beast is only allowed to be with us when they make us feel at their own will.
It was something that Taketo felt in his dealings with many beasts, including Ur.
They are whimsical and human reasoning doesn't make sense.
That's why the moment when it feels like it makes sense is invaluable and irreplaceable... glad.
"That's right. Injured...!
Forest Cat looks at his back leg with an arrow wound, but the bleeding seems to have stopped, so I'm relieved.
As Forest Cat slipped out of sight of the tacket, he scaffolded the roof of Kenneth's house and slowly stretched his front leg into the void. When I jumped, that big figure disappeared before I landed on the ground. All that remained was the morning sky.
