Isekai Ryouridou

The Last Dawn ④ Redemption and Blessing

So Camuer-Josh and Late entered the snow-enclosed forest.

It is a forest in the northern part of the country that is completely different from the Morga forest.The leaves were sharp as needles, and black as the darkness was simmered.It is covered with thick snow, forming a gloomy world of white and black.

The time was already going around Jomtien.

We needed that much time to set up a plan to eliminate the muffle.

However, the world has been dim since morning, so there has been no minor change.Although the snow and wind had subsided, the southern-growing rate was cold enough to soak into the skeleton.

"It seems that the big bear in Kumamuru is based on a riverbank right next to the settlement.We'll ambush them there. "

As he talks like that, Kamur-Josh moves forward suddenly.There was a lot of snow on the path of the beast, but they wore something like an elongated board on the bottom of the thing, so they never got caught in the snow.It is a piece of equipment that settlement people wear when hunting.

"... are you sure you can get rid of the big bear with this much equipment?

Only five wooden spears and bows and arrows were procured by Kamur-Josh in the settlement.The tips and arrows are sharply sharpened sections, not metals, but primitive pieces.

"I have prepared all the poisonous weeds left in the settlement into the tip and arrow.Of course, it's not a poison formulated for Mufu, so it's so sweet that it works... but even if I give you this much poison, Mufu won't be safe. "

While saying so, Camuer-Josh succumbed to the wipe.

"Oh, there it is.Here, this is Muffle's footprint. "

There were huge footprints on the snow.

It is a tremendous footprint than an adult human head.The depth also accurately showed the weight of the muffle.

"Are you sure you're okay?Will this muffle attack people trying to get in and out of the settlement?

"For that reason, this muffle has been wandering around the settlement.If we stay in the same place all the time, we won't be able to see the other side of the settlement.From this footprint... it should be half an hour since we passed this place.It will take about an hour to circle the settlement, so I think we still have about half a minute to go. "

Kamur-Josh carefully checked the surrounding terrain before leaving the settlement.Still, it seemed like that was the way to go.

"... I've never heard of Camur doing hunter work before.People around the woods didn't talk about it either. "

"I abandoned my hometown when I was fifteen.Such a long time ago, it would be useless to talk about it.... oh, there's muffled shit left.The people in the settlement haven't been attacked in the last few days, so I wonder if they're still filling their bellies with gamma or something. "

Kamur-Josh is still in trouble as usual, even though he is about to confront the vicious Muhuru.

While carefully carrying the poisonous wooden spear, Late managed to discipline herself.

After a while, you can hear the creek.

The weather is more pleasant today, but the water in the river doesn't seem to freeze.

"All right, I think it's around here.Late, climb this tree. "

"Huh? In this tree?

And the trees of the northern land, which dwell with leaves like black needles, are ascending high like spears that penetrate the heavens.However, there were no branches in Late's reach, and there were no ups and downs on the surface of the black trunk.

"If I take the shoulder car, I can reach the branches, right?Before we do that, we need to drop the snow. "

Kamur-Josh shook his sheathed dagger and threw out a cloud of snow from a nearby branch.

That's how you bend in front of Late.

"Take off that leg apparatus.I'll give you the spear later, so you can put it right there. "

Late followed Camuer-Josh's instructions while crossing his elongated neck.

When Kamur-Josh stood up, he managed to reach the branch.I didn't have any experience climbing trees with me, but I couldn't make a sound in this place.

"All right, all right. Then I'll give you my spear.Please hang all five on the branch to avoid dropping them. "

"Yes, I should just wait here, right?

"No, take that branch as a stepping stone and climb the other one.No matter how tall you are, you might get muffled nails. "

Late is already on a branch beyond his reach without Kamur-Josh giving him a shoulder drive.Given the magnitude of the muffle, Late felt like his spine was freezing - a cowardly feeling that he swallowed diligently and followed the words of Kamur-Josh.

"All right, all right. Now you're all set.I'll lure Muffle, so throw me a spear when you get to this position.Muffle's head is sturdy, so try targeting somewhere else. "

"... you can entrust me with such an important role, okay?Was Camur originally meant to be alone?

"I was wondering if I could handle both a bow and a spear effectively by myself, so it's just fine.Never panic even if your spear comes off, never get off there.This is the deal between me and Late, who tried to dissolve the mentorship. "

"... I understand."

Kamur-Josh was a big man, and until now he had never spoken a word that threatened Late.Then this would be such a dangerous mission.Kamur-Josh wonders about Lat, but he speaks such harsh words.

However, even though the content of the words is strict, his face smiles slightly as usual.Camuer-Josh crossed the path of the beast and snowed out of the branches of the tree opposite him.

"If you leave me alone, they'll smell us... but it's not good for you to stay here, so let's lure them to us soon."

What Camuer-Josh took out was a piece of fur and something black and brown.

Put a fur slice in the middle of the beast road, stack the bark cut from the tree, and put something black and brown on top of it.Later, when I lit the bark with Lana's leaves, it eventually burst into black and brown and began to burn, emitting a terrible stench.

"... that smells terrible.What's that?

"This is muffle shit from earlier.If the smell was so intense, I thought Mhuru would soon detect the anomaly. "

Speaking like that, Kamur-Josh took off the plank of his feet and climbed to the waist belt, and climbed to the tree opposite him.Grab the bow on your shoulder and throw an arrow out of the arrow.

"I'll shoot the arrow first, so give it a signal and Rat throws a spear.Never attack before me. "

"... is that one of the promises you made about your mentorship?

"Yeah, that's what I mean."

I haven't seen anything for a while.

The dark forest is quiet.It's as quiet as if all the creatures were dead.

While holding a spear, Rate breathes.

Camuer-Josh, the tree opposite him, seemed to sing even a nose song, checking the tension of the strings stretched on the bow.

Suddenly there is a roar when the lightning strikes.

Rate did not think that he was about to drop his spear on the ground.

At the end of the beast path, a huge shadow of gray brown appears.

It is a massive rock mass that is much larger than humans.

The shadow came rushing towards us with great momentum.

With such a huge figure, how can you move so quickly?

While breathing on the branches of the tree, Late felt as if she was dreaming.

When the giant bear stopped suddenly at the feet of the rats, he shook up his fat forefoot like a human torso and wiped out his own shit that burned on the ground.

A small arrow stung your neck.

Mhuru roared again and looked up at the tree that was lurking in Kamur-Josh.

Camuer-Josh doesn't seem to have disturbed his mind, and he leads a new arrow to his bow.

The arrow also stood precisely on Mhuru's right shoulder.

Mhuru shouted out his fury and struck the trees of Kamur-Josh.

A shock like the earthquake shook the world, but Kamur-Josh threw a third arrow without losing his posture.

At that time, Late was finally able to regain himself.

Hold your breath and throw a wooden spear at Muffle's back.

Because it is so technical, it will not be removed immediately.

The wooden spear was hit by muffled fur and fell to the ground.

Mufu turns back towards Late as thunderbolts.

Late didn't feel alive, but he threw a second spear.

It's disgusting with Mufu's forefoot.

Then, a poison arrow was thrown in succession on Mufu's defenseless back.

"Your opponent is this way!If you regret it, come up!

Camuer-Josh threw arrows at him one after the other with a smiling look on his face.

The angry muffle beats the trees with his right forefoot.Apparently, this dangerous bear couldn't climb a tree without a foothold.

However, the smooth trunk of the black tree is engraved with great momentum.

A single strike like that would easily blow up a human neck.

Still, Kamur-Josh was shooting arrows with a laid-back look.

Late also threw a wooden spear.

The third spear was also struck by beast hair, but the fourth wooden spear barely pierced Mufu's back.

All the arrows of Kamur-Josh stand in the giant body of Mhuru.I guess this is the difference between a bow and a spear.

Camuer-Josh, who knocked out twelve arrows, threw away his bow and arrow without hesitation.

Late threw the last spear, but it was also thrown into Muffle's back.

And -- again, Muffle turned back towards Late.

At the same time, Kamur-Josh raised his voice again.

"I've only got one Late Spear, but I've got twelve arrows!If you want to be angry, you can be angry with me!

But Mhuru approached the Late side without looking back at Kamur-Josh.

Rats stick to the trunk of a tree in the comfort of a dagger in their heart.

"Oh, my God, that's so unreasonable."

Kamur-Josh stood on the ground as if he had gone down.

Late loses herself even more.

"Hmm, what are you doing?!I told you never to get off the ground, Camur!?

"Because this tree is slippery.That's why I can't climb the muffle, but I'm sure I won't be able to catch the rate if it hits me. "

When he noticed the arrival of Kamur-Josh, M'Fleur turned to him again and let go of his roar.

Looking up at the gigantic body, Kamur-Josh threw out his waist dagger.

"That promise is still valid.Late shouldn't move from there. "

Muffle waved down his right forefoot.

Camuer-Josh moves sideways like a fallen leaf blown by the wind.At some point, the foot was fitted with a plate .

"You're slow.Looks like the poison is working.... and I can't seem to use my left forefoot. "

Mufu shook his right forefoot in the shape of a slap.

Kamur-Josh rolled over the snow to avoid the blow.

"I think I was struck by various poisonous arrows on the night of the attack on the settlement, so I was hit by the nerve on my left forefoot.If you look closely, it looks like there are living scars everywhere... and it was a disaster for you, too. "

And Mufl fell down, and thrust his head into Kamur-Josh.

Kamur-Josh even jumped to the side again.At the same time, a wooden spear picked up from the ground was pointing at Muhul's flank.

"If I take away your precious child, you will suffer such a wound... and soon you will return your soul.I can't stand sympathy at all. "

With a fierce roar, Mufu stood up with his back foot.

Its back is two times shorter than Kamur-Josh's head.The mass would not have been five times greater.

Muffle waved down his right forefoot with great momentum, and Camuer-Josh tried to escape to the left.

The leg stops as if it was on the way.

Probably the board on the sole of my feet caught something in the snow.

The vicious nails are shaken down over Camoua-Josh, and Late's eyes are dazzled by despair.

The length of Kamur-Josh was blown away with a pebble-like momentum thrown at the toddler.

Camur!

While clinging to the black tree, Rate inadvertently screamed.

Kamur-Josh, who fell to the ground and fell into the snow, glanced at his golden brown head as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, I'm surprised.I wonder if it was in the snow, even at the root of the tree. "

Late presses his temple against the cold trunk of the tree and breathes deeply.

Mufu was in agony as he stood up.

Looking at it, there was a terrible spill of blood from the right forefoot.

Camuer-Josh must have caught Muffle's claws with his dagger.Mufu must have gotten a deep scratch on the tip of his forefoot just because of his strength.Still, Kamur-Josh, who can be beaten with that kind of force and keep his dagger on his hands, was not most people.

Mufl glanced at Kamur-Josh while burning his eyes in rage.

Camuer-Josh, who woke up on the snow, was gently snowing his head with his left hand.

"Camur, that's enough!Run on top of the tree!

"No, it's like I twisted my ankle and it's hard to walk.I don't think it's easy to remove the plate in the first place. "

Muffle rushed his wounded forefoot to Kamur-Josh about the ground.

Even though the left forefoot does not seem to be able to move properly, it is a great momentum.

Kamur-Josh smiled as he gazed at the imminent muffle.

"If the beast is ever reborn as a human being, I pray for peace in the next world."

Camuer-Josh fell sideways in a muffled rush.

As he fell down, he shook up his right dagger.

It was as smooth as stroking the air, but the muffle, which passed too far by Camuer-Josh, drowned like a fountain from the throat and sank into the snow ground.

"It's over.... you kept your promise until the end, and Late was great."

"... don't say that like a child."

In response, Rate was secretly shook.

I was reminded once again of how powerful Kamur-Josh is.

It also meant that Late was reminded of the high level of ambition he was aiming for - but still, his breathless vision was filling his chest.



That is the night.

Camuer-Josh, who returned from the Mufru extermination, fell asleep as soon as he was treated for his frustrated ankle.

The wounds inflicted on Kamur-Josh were incredibly deep, and the way home was incredibly easy for Late to walk without lending her shoulders.When I returned to the settlement and took off my leather boots, the ankle of Kamur-Josh was twice as swollen.

"The swelling will go away tomorrow.Shall I take care of this house for one more night?The people of these settlements won't threaten us anymore, because we tried to exterminate M'Fur. "

Leaving such a word behind, Camuer-Josh fell asleep.

Well, Camuer-Josh had just had a nap last night, and he had to go around like that.It was only natural that if I took painkiller medicine, I would be hit by a sleeping demon.

Whether Rate still had the effect of the medicinal tea last night, or whether the thread of tension broke - or whether it was induced by Kamur-Josh's breathtaking sleeping face - I also fell asleep.

To be honest, the fatigue of last night's army was still there.Late fell deeply asleep and could not wake up again until Kamur-Josh shook his shoulders.

"... Late. It seems to be dawn soon.What if it's time to wake up?

As Late lifted her eyelids, a smile of Kamur-Josh appeared on her head.

But the surroundings are still dark.Only the fire of the candlestick placed in the corner of the sleeping quarters was reliant on the eyes.

"Soon dawn...?So I went to sleep without eating. "

"Yeah, you must have been tired of wandering around.They say the meal is ready outside. "

"Outside?" Late questioned, but Camuer-Josh only smiled slightly and did not try to speak any more words.

Kamur-Josh leaves the bed with a stick with a matching stick.When I went out to the hall, the fire was lit in the enclosure, but there was no family.

And the front is noisy.

Something as loud as the earthquake sounded, and it sounded shady.

"What is this noise?

Well, that's fine, that's fine.

Late, wearing her coat and leaving the front door panel, stood still.

In front of the house, a fire is burning red.And a lot of the people surrounding the fire were rubbing their foreheads against the rug laid on the ground, and the world was singing a gloomy chant.

Most of them are women, and many young children are involved.

There was also a small number of men who had bandaged their heads, hands and feet.

And a strange thing hangs from the tree in front of the house.

It is a huge muffled fur.

The fur, which had holes all over it, was connected from head to foot, showing off the enormity of life.

"What... what are you doing?

"This seems to be a ritual of harmony.They killed the child of Mhuru.Muhuru killed as many as 30 of their compatriots.It seems to be a prayer not to leave that grudge until after death, but to get along with God. "

Late once again felt like being thrown into a dream.

Surrounded by a huge flame, only seventy people from the east chanted something similar to mourning.Looking down on it is a huge muffled hide.In the depths of the darkness of the night, only such a sight floated - it was fantastic, terrifying and beautiful, unlike anything else in the world.

Eventually, some of the humans who noticed the appearance of the Lates wake up and run behind the house.

When he came back again, he had two plates in his hand.

……

"It's a redemption dinner.They want us to eat that muffle. "

Was the iron pot on fire in the back?The wooden plate was poured with plenty of broth with a red hue, and it was soaked with white water.

"... is this that muffled meat?That muffle is eating a lot of people, isn't it?

"Ah, in the western kingdom, you avoided the man-eating beast.But this is an eastern territory, though it's a free ground. "

Camuer-Josh smiled at Late as he received his two plates.

"Late, you said you were looking forward to muffled meat.I can't deny that any muffler attacked a human being, so it's probably the same thing. "

Late sighed while receiving the wooden dish.

I'm sure the same vanilla was used last night.It is a bright red broth like a chit nut, and the scent that seems to be spicy sticks into my nose.

When I was ready to simmer, my tongue was painfully painful.

However, the meat of muffle - it wasn't as hard or tense as Rat had imagined.Besides, I can't smell the vanilla at all because it's intense.It was a powerful flavor that could also be found in the meat of gibbers and gammas.

"These muffles were carried by all ten of them.I cut my neck and cut it off, but I wonder if it has some effect of bleeding out.Amazingly delicious. "

Kamur-Josh was cheeking on muffled meat with pleasure.

Then the daughters carrying the wooden dishes knelt on the ground, which was not covered with rugs.One of them has conveyed something in a long eastern language, like a chant.

"Sorry about last night.Well, they just obeyed my mother's orders, so I don't have to worry about it. "

The number of women with heads hanging is four.Late couldn't tell, but they must be the women who were naked last night.

When Kamur-Josh conveyed something in the words of the east, they stood up and lowered their heads as they strangely combined their fingertips like the people of the east.

Last night, they looked at the Lates as they explored, and since Camuer-Josh blamed them, they had become horrified.

However, only the light of gratitude is swirling in their eyes now.

It seemed like a sincere and clean look, unlike the people of the East whom Lat had ever met.

"We're the village benefactors.... well, now we can start hunting again, and we can pick up our son-in-law from the rest of the settlement, so this settlement won't be destroyed. "

"I was just watching Camur and Muffle die.I can't thank you enough. "

"That's not true.Late's spear was stuck in Muffle's body.Without that much poison, you wouldn't be able to kill Mufu with your sword.If it wasn't for Late's help, I might have blown my head off. "

When Kamur-Josh answered like that, one of the humans surrounding the flame said something with a heavy voice.

Correspondingly, the flames are covered with snow.It was immediately thought that the area was wrapped in darkness - but as the eyes got used to it, the world was rebuilt in gray.

Oh, it's dawn.

And the four women bowed again at the end, and returned to their brethren.

All the people who sat on the rug turn back in the same direction.Your sky was blurry and thin and bright, and the morning sun was about to come in from the gap in the trees.

People put their foreheads on the rug again and chanted.

This time, there was no sad sound as before, and I even felt like I was filled with joy.

"What is it? Ah, is it the custom of this land to welcome the sunrise?

"Yeah? Because this is the regeneration of the Sun God?If it is the people of the East, it is only natural to offer prayers of blessings. "

Late almost took off the wooden dish of his hand.

"Well... today is the day of the silver moon."

"Yeah. I wonder if I've been away for a while, so I've lost my sense of date?

Kamur-Josh looked east with a mellow smile.

When you look at the side, the latte turns back in the same direction.

Eventually, the white morning sun plunged in, as if a shining bird had sewn up and down a tree.

The people of the settlement shrug their voices.The chant, which blessed the renewal of the sun god, wrapped Rat's body and soul like a soft breeze.

"... this is the first time I've seen the renewal of the Sun God outside of Genos."

"Yeah, yeah. At the end of the border and in the castle town, there's nothing like the divinity of the sun god."

Rath glanced at his divinity, and looked back at Kamur-Josh.

"... what language did Camur blame for their behavior last night?

"What? What, all of a sudden?

"They looked terribly frightened, and Camur had never seen anything like it before.I've always wondered what Camur said with those eyes. "

"Oh, my God. I'm not going to say that kind of thing all the time."

If so, please let me know.

Kamur-Josh also looked down on Late with his eyes on the glow of the sun god.

"If I intend to trample on the dignity of my disciple, Late, I will not be averse to any sin.Choose whether you want your neck to be chopped off, offer herbs that eliminate the effects of aphrodisiacs, or pick your own.... well, that's kind of a word.How much I've told you in my awkward eastern words is far from heartfelt. "

"Really?" Late swallowed the flow of emotions coming from the depths of her chest.

Then he smiles at Camuer-Josh.

"Speaking of which, Camus is finally thirty.Congratulations! "

Camuer-Josh put his head on Late's head with a bitter smile.

It was the most undesirable thing for Late to do for a child - but for the moment alone, I could hardly shake his hand.

Late was then twelve years old, and a new year was to be celebrated with his master, whom he truly envisioned.
