Kuro no Senki (LN)
Episode 9: Barbarians
Bailey Chamber of Commerce...... The Chamber of Commerce's action to gather Myra's hatred all together was swift.
As soon as Chrono sent the letter, he came to deliver the food for the shortage, acknowledging the errors in the estimate.
However, this is the only time I admitted it.
I wanted to push him a little more, but I couldn't push him any further because Gaul, the captain of the battalion, stopped me.
It's up to the quote to continue trading with the Bailey Chamber of Commerce after next month, so maybe it's a smart choice.
If you obey promises only because you are a powerful man, you will be consumed.
I felt like I had a glimpse of the success of such a merchant.
One bag after another containing wheat is transported into the pantry.
Converted at sixty kilometers a bag to make sure that one hundred and fifty bags were brought in... Leila checked with her eyes, recalculated all the reconfirmations, and ran over to Chrono.
Submen and humans, Gaul's men, seemed envious, and the heavy-duty cavalry, both of the same man and from the aristocratic class, watched Leila as they saw even in rare animals.
Even now, the literacy rate of the Kepheus Empire is low.
Since only those who can afford to do so will have the opportunity to acquire upbringing, Leila will seem to be a separate world existence for subhumans and humans without upbringing.
On the contrary, from the perspective of the upbringing nobles, I guess Leila looks about as much like an animal planted with art.
"Dear Chrono, we have confirmed"
"It's the Captain of the Gaul Battalion who signs."
"I'm sorry, Captain Gaul. Sign it."
"... oh"
Slightly confused...... in fact, it would be my first experience in my life to be asked to sign a half-elf.
Gaul wrote his autograph and returned the delivery letter to Leila, confused about this again.
Layla confirms her signature firmly and runs to a representative at the Bailey Chamber of Commerce.
"... that's a half elf you can use"
"I'm not gonna let Leila go."
Krono glanced at Gaul, saying he was going to solicit Leila following Faye.
"Don't look so scared. You're not going to get your hands on me or anyone else's mistress."
"Are you left-handed?"
There's Leila's will, but if she cheats or gets dumped, she's going to fall into serious human distrust, Krono recessed imagining herself being dumped.
"But I've never seen a half elf that brilliant."
"I guess I had my own qualities, because I taught reading, writing and arithmetic properly, and I'm still studying under Dr. Weissman"
"... Weissman? Oh, Weissman teacher assistant."
He hasn't impressed Gaul about Dr. Weissman even though he graduated from military school.
Chrono doesn't have many teachers to remember besides Dr. Weissman, but maybe the unmeshing feeling of this topic is the difference between honor and inferior students.
"To say you taught, did you let that half-elf wear upbringing?
"Hope it helps in the future"
Uh-huh, Gaul roared in arms.
"Oh, you haven't raised that seemingly narrow sword, have you?
It was then that Gaul opened his mouth and heard such a voice.
The Lord of the Voice is Cecily, and it is Faye who is entangled.
A seemingly narrow sword would mean Faye's father's shapes broken in a fierce battle with Robert.
As Chrono tried to get into the stop, Gaul controlled it by hand.
"'Boys, if you don't see him for three days, scratch him,' he says, 'but that's exactly it."
Does that mean you've grown? and Chrono stared at Faye.
The feeling I see is the usual fay, but I feel more like a Rin atmosphere than usual.
Remembering what happened in the bathroom, Chrono broke up with each other.
After the first battle, Chrono dared to ambush Fey.
I broke into the bathroom just to pay you back in the morning.
And I asked Faye to flush her back.
Naturally, I didn't ask you to flush your back normally.
Because Faye is now a knight and mistress of Chrono.
When Chrono asked, Faye froze as if shame and loyalty were the reins.
In the end, loyalty prevailed, but it was a thin ice victory, only an outpost for the next battle.
Faye carefully washed Chrono's back, but he was as rigid as he had returned to me, and still, he asked me for a favor.
Unfortunately, the only battle in which Faye gambled his whole body is the call to the next battle, and so far there are no two letters of the end of the war in Chrono's dictionary.
"This sword is the shape of Master Elua, who is also the mother of Master Krono"
"The point is, you say antiques, right?
When Faye took a step, Cecily retreated as if to go with it.
It won't be conscious behavior.
Cecily's face is distorted by the evidence.
It's like saying you can't forgive yourself for retreating.
"Heh, that's unpleasant!
Cecily turned her heel back telling her to throw up.
Looking from the side, it just looks like he escaped under barometric pressure.
Chrono felt a sense of readiness at the sight.
Where is it? and tilt his neck.
I knew the answer right away.
It looks just like Chrono, who met Leonhardt at the ball.
Maybe Cecily recognizes Faye's strength.
But acknowledging Faye's prowess is tantamount to acknowledging that he is an understatement.
I guess that's why Cecily tries to discredit Faye.
Sure, if you denigrate Faye, you might be immersed in a sense of superiority, but that's temporary.
Soon you will be drawn back to reality and feathers that repeat the same thing.
Maybe that's why Cecily is not just Faye, but also aggressive towards Chrono.
Well, in short, I guess it's an eight hit.
Even with the same eight hits, Mr. Scion was cuter.
At least I never felt a danger to my life on Mr. Scion's eight hits, and Chrono looked up into the sky.
So, claiming the pride of an aristocrat loudly, looking down on me, the new aristocrat, more than necessary, because there's only one part of me that wins the right old aristocrat? and Chrono analyzes Cecily's behavior on his own.
Krono grinned that it might be a lump of outrage, inferiority.
"Don't give me an evil grin next to you"
"Rude."
Chrono gently covered his mouth with his hands.
"... the story changes, what makes Cecily move from the XII Kingsguard Knights?
I don't know.
The Twelfth Knights also suffered enormous damage in the war ahead.
I don't think Count Pisce will let Cecily go because he should need a competent subordinate to rebuild the Knights.
Well, I also think Count Pisce is going to let go of it lightly if he doesn't have the benefit of being held back.
"Today, even tomorrow, the barbarians will attack again. You and your men will take part in the crusade."
"Do you feel like the other day I was told, 'I don't need it, go home'?
Gaul looked to the woods with his arms together.
"I changed my mind."
"Are you left-handed?"
Gaul flipped the foreword lightly.
I guess I took more fruit than Fujiko.
Count Ernato said he was a fool, but not very foolish.
"My father... what did he say about me?
"I was an honest good boy when I was a kid, and in a past way,"
Guru, and Gaul roared uncomfortably.
"What do you think of me?
"My first impression sucks, my current impression doesn't sound foolish ~," he said.
You expected a better rating, Gaul leaned down and shook his shoulders to withstand his anger.
"What do you think I'm missing?
"The operational capability and care of the troops, followed by calcium. Drink milk, eat lots of little fish."
Gaul's tremor increases.
My whole body was shaking, not just my shoulders.
"Well, I'll be ready."
It's also troublesome to be yelled at and scattered, so Chrono retrieved Layla, Faye and Snow and escaped the scene.
"I fought the Barbarians because I said..."
When Crono explained his previous history in the garden of Crawford Mansion, his men reacted in two different ways.
He who tightens his expression and looks anxiously at Chrono.
The former are experienced in action like Leila and Tyga and highly motivated to fight like Faye, while the latter are recruits with no experience in action like Snow.
"I don't think the faces here have ever fought barbarians, including me. So I've invited Barbarians and those with combat experience as special instructors. First, my father, Baron Claude Crawford."
When Patti and Chrono clapped, they clapped to match their men as well.
Welcomed by applause, his adoptive father stood before his men.
"Dad, do you ever take care to fight a barbarian?
"... that's engraving. I don't know. They use a spell called engraving. This guy bottoms up his physical abilities, well, I'm not sure about this either, but it causes a magical phenomenon. You have to be particularly careful when you let the spear wrap light around you."
My men nodded in unison at the words of my adoptive father.
"They let the spear wrap the light around them and throw it. Accidentally approaching the spear, a few seconds later, it's dokan."
My men breathed as my adoptive father opened his clench in his chest position to describe the explosion.
"So if you want to fight, close or long distance. Half a distance, they'll blow you away."
Chrono stood next to Myra, a little further away.
"... Boy, with what intent do you have a place like this?
"Sharing information and dispelling anxiety"
Unknown… Knowing nothing stirs fear and anxiety, but humans are convincing creatures if it is explained in such a way that they are not sure.
For example, suppose a stone came down from a space with nothing.
I know it can be explained scientifically, but even if it can't be explained scientifically, humans try to dispel anxiety and fear by creating fictional organisms.
"Does Bo think of the Barbarians as human beings?
"You're human, aren't you?
When Chrono ran out of words, Myra shook herself.
"Boy..."
Myra, it's your turn.
"Yes, sir."
My adoptive father stood next to Chrono to replace Myra.
"... Not bad. Hands. Fighting and killing each other is a better way to lose if you're cowardly. If you knew what kind of enemy you were, you wouldn't freak out more than you had to."
So my adoptive father punctuated the words and gave me a fierce grin.
"Well, it doesn't make sense if you know what kind of enemy you're dealing with."
"That's the problem, right?"
Faye's figure passes behind his brain when he hears what his adoptive father has to say.
I feel like it would be okay to fight the barbarians straight from the front if I were Faye right now.
That? and Chrono stopped moving.
"How come the barbarians are strong?
"Am I right? You weren't listening to me. I told you they use magic for engraving."
"Oh, yeah, I remember that,"
enhancement of physical abilities, exploding spears...... maybe just different names and activation methods,
"Engraving, you mean divine art?
"Hey, where the hell did you get that conclusion?"
"No, 'cause I'm talking about six-colored spirits and evil laws assimilating with spirits, but that's an imperial reason, right?
Sorcery is considered a crude imitation of divine authority. So what is kamikaze and what is a six-pillar god subject to faith in the first place?
Chrono says it's something systematic that keeps the world alive.
Well, it flew in from outer space. But it was created by ancient civilization, but it doesn't matter if it was born accidentally.
Kamikaze sympathizes (accesses) with the Six-Pillar God (system), downloads the surgical formula (program), and the magic imprints (installs) the surgical formula (program) based on Kamikaze into the brain by hypnotic drugs, activated by certain keywords.
Just as the Empire turned kamikaze into magic, the Barbarians changed kamikaze into engraving.
That's also in a way closer to divine art.
"Everyone should be strong if they are all, the users of kamikaze. But if the opponent finds out he's the user of kamikaze, there's a way to deal with it."
"Are you going to be so good?
"Yeah, well, maybe"
As soon as he was stuck in by his adoptive father, Chrono suddenly became anxious.
The weakness of Kamikaze is that the surgeon is deranged by excessive use.
If you use too much kamikaze, it will be insane because it is the same reason that Chrono remembers a severe headache with the multiple activations of Heavenly Prix Kamikaze...... the brain will be destroyed trying to force him to do the arithmetic necessary to activate the surgery.
I think maybe the engraving technique has similar weaknesses, but I can't beat my hands if I'm overcoming weaknesses with improvements.
"When things didn't work out... I'm gonna run away"
"Heck, I don't know if you're decisive. I don't care either way if I make a mistake."
Chrono is not going to risk his life for Gaul or Count El Nato.
Of course, for the barbarians.
"It's okay, maybe"
So Krono answered that to his adoptive father.
Night...... several bonfires are shaking to illuminate the darkness.
Small as sesame. I can tell that's a bonfire because they were asking me about Gaul's operation.
Gaul's operation is simple and lucid.
Form formations and intercept the barbarians.
It's a legitimate way of fighting, but then it's like giving the enemy the lead.
This time, Krono's operation, in which he participates as a separate unit, is to create a detachment formed of five infantry soldiers, one archer, and when the barbarians show up, the other detachments will rendezvous and slap him while the nearest detachment stops.
I don't care about boulders, so I'm setting a trap.
"Hey, Master Chrono?
"What?
Momoko and Snow move next door.
"Don't you have to form a formation like that one?
"Elsewhere, of course."
Currently, Chrono wears a dirty cloth with mud and hides himself in a bush near a livestock shed.
My men should be lurking in the bush in disguise, but the disguise is too perfect to even be found by Chrono, who grasps the placement.
"Do you see any other detachments?
"It stinks, to some extent" (but)
Speaking to the beast man next door, he answered, letting his nose snap.
"Master Chrono, where is Faye?
"Uh-huh, where is it?
Light cavalry and bow cavalry are hidden by Faye's divine art.
Apparently, the power of Faye's faith in "Goddess to make it pitch black and preside over chaos" can also distort the light and hide itself, making it difficult to pinpoint where it is.
"Looks like the battle has begun over there."
"... sounds like it"
Snow told me, Chrono narrowed his eyes.
Red and emerald lights larger than the bonfire ran to tear the darkness apart at night, and the soldiers were starting to move in a hurry.
"... Dear Chrono, I've been here for a long time"
"Right."
Forward...... a red light lights the darkness of the forest a hundred meters away.
"Only one enemy?
"I've got two more. Is one as old as your mother and the other as me?
Is it a woman that can bother to metaphor Leila and herself? I remember Dr. Weissman taught me that barbarians are matrilineal societies, but Chrono glanced at the red light.
Bouncing like a bat, the red light instantly grows larger.
The red light stopped about fifty meters away... the barbarian woman stopped moving.
My feet are buried on the ground to the calf.
A trap set by Chrono... hooked on a mud.
An elf archer lurking nearest rises and releases one arrow after another towards the barbarian woman who stopped moving.
The red light that colors the woman's body adds radiance and the arrows burn up.
No, he evaporated the arrows like Ignis in the Kingdom of Holy Argo.
But I won't give up the elf archers.
I've already passed on Barbarian information from my adoptive father and Myra.
It's hard not to be given up because of what happened.
Barbarian women walk slowly and muddy.
They can't evaporate muddy moisture by softening your insanity.
No, even if you are resistant to the flames and heat you emit, you may suffer burns in hot steam and hot water at high temperatures.
Damn, I don't know the engraving rules, Chrono bit his teeth.
Elf archers continue to release arrows, and arrows fly in to cover them.
It's Leila.
Leila was releasing an arrow from over a hundred meters away from the barbarian woman.
As the barbarian woman flashed her arms, the fireballs poured down on Leila one after another.
It's like an enhanced version of flamebouncing.
But the fireball couldn't capture Leila.
Because Leila rode a horse and hasn't stayed in the same place temporarily.
"Can we go?
Unexpectedly, the moment Chrono shrugged, the green light lit in the darkness of the forest.
Flying, not leaping.
The woman lifts up her companion, whose feet are taken by the mud, and approaches the bush.
"I apologize for the unintended blow!
'... Huh!
Suddenly, Faye emerged from the void and waved down a blade reinforced by the divine art "Holy Blade" to the two flying barbarians.
It's a stunning unintentional strike, like I used even on the instant move, but in fact I just unmasked it by divine authority the moment I jumped and attacked it.
Faye's blade stops.
A woman with red engraving and a woman with emerald engraving stuck her arm out and prevented the blade in some way.
"Gu...... colorful!
The darkness covering the blade swells explosively as if to respond to Faye's will.
When Faye shakes off the blade at her disposal, the red engraving woman is slapped to the ground and the green engraving woman lands flutteringly in the middle of the bush.
Do you even glare, Cui engraving woman...... Cui engraving artist shook her head gently.
Tyga attacked there.
Cui's engraver opens his eyes to surprise and flies wide behind him.
The Great Sword of Tyga cut the sky, and the Cui engraver unleashed the blade of the wind... not invisible, but shining on the Cui...
The grass dances through the universe, and the blade of the wind shallowly cleaves Tiga's body.
But Tiga shimmers her eyes and strikes at Cui's engraver.
Honestly, I'm afraid a tiger seems to be attacking a human being.
Was Cui's engraver in the same opinion as Chrono, floating to distance himself from Taiga... eight beastly men attacked him simultaneously with a beastly roar.
Cui's engraver spreads his arms and twirls and spins.
At the next moment, a wind of power equal to a blast blew out the Beast Man.
The beasts stand up immediately and again are attacked by the Cui engravers.
Arrows are released towards the raised Cui engraver in an attempt to escape to the safety zone.
'... Huh!
Cui's engraver kicks his arrow with a blast.
"I can!"
Now it was time for Chrono to clench his fist with certainty of victory.
Move your gaze towards Faye.
Faye also had Layla's backup, overwhelming the red engraver.
There is a difference in degree of wear in a fay that just focuses on the red engraver and the enemy in front of him, who keeps using the power of engraving with vigilance of the flying arrows.
"Master Chrono, what are you going to do with those two?
"I'm trying to take him prisoner without killing him."
It will be difficult, Krono judges from the fighting power of the engraver.
Somehow, they manipulate the flames and wind with a single swing of their arms.
If you're not a sturdy dungeon, you won't be able to detain him, and you might be able to self-determination if you're enough to be a prisoner.
Red and Cui engravers...... their engravings blink violently, visibly and bluntly.
Chrono woke up his body to apply for a truce.
It was then that the spear pierced the tip of Chrono's nose.
Tongue punched, Chrono grabbed Snow's collar and kicked the ground as much as he wanted.
The beasts next door are fleeing the scene with brighter arrangements than Chrono.
Darkness burst at a time when my legs touched the ground or not.
Wasn't black just about strengthening your physical abilities? and Chrono rolled over the ground holding Snow back.
Damn, my head was gunning and I was nauseous, and when Chrono woke up his upper body, the girl was standing.
She is about fifteen years old.
Her face is young, but she has a certain amount of Rin.
Sharp eyes, pulled tied lips.
Her skin is shallow and dark and her hair stretches to her shoulders.
The lacquered black engraving shined to accentuate the immature body line.
The pitch-black light...... somehow makes me feel contradictory, but otherwise I have no choice of expression.
"Master Chrono, run!
Purn! and the light flashes at the tip of the girl's nose.
Snow slashed the dagger with one hand.
But when the girl jumped and jumped over Snow, she took on Chrono.
"Huh?"
Unexpectedly, Chrono leaked his voice.
"Hey, help!"
The girl jumped in charge of Chrono.
"Master Chrono has been captured!
"Yay, it's hard! '(ugh!
Faye and Tyga poked at the gap that stopped their hands, and the red and green engravers also escaped from the spot.
When I woke up, it was rolling over the dirt.
It hurts when the back of my head does it, so I guess I got punched and passed out.
"Uh, unarmed"
Both the long sword and the dagger are confiscated and tied to the back hand.
I guess the barbarians only know why they didn't take off their armor and cape.
That was a conical space.
In the center of the space is an enclosure, and the walls are made of a combination of tree branches.
"... a cave dwelling?
Even when I came to this world, I was in a culture shock, but I don't have a hole-in-the-hole residence.
Civilization levels have passed through the Middle Ages in the Rope period.
"Well, even without a weapon, it's like a rope in sorcery"
Chrono tried to activate the Heavenly Pivot Kagura and immediately reconsidered his thoughts.
Heavenly Prix Kagura is aiming and controlling with his eyes.
Tied in the back hand...... not the noise where my hands are gone if I fail.
What am I gonna do? and when Chrono was on the way, someone came in.
She is the girl who grabbed Chrono last night.
The outfit covers the chest and hips with banded leather.
……
……
The girl sandwiches the enclosure and, sitting opposite Chrono, crushes the grass she had hung with plank-shaped and round stones.
"Ah, hello, would you like me to come home?
……
I should have worn a magic item for the interpreter, Krono regretted.
"I'm Chrono. What about you?
……
The girl rested her hands and stared at Chrono.
"Me, Sue. Lou Nation No Curse Doctor '
Dual voice, like when you're talking to your deputy.
I wonder why? and Chrono tilted his neck, but the doubt quickly dissolved.
Girl... Sue was raising a lettering clay plate from her neck.
Maybe this clay plate is a magic item for interpreters.
The inscriptions on the clay plates are not alphabetical, but a combination of vertical, horizontal and slanted lines.
"Do you want to go home?
"No. Omae, Yarkoto, Al"
Sue crawled all over Chrono like a beast.
"What is it?
"Child, Out"
Sue stuck her hand out.
"Even if they tell me to let it out, it's not that easy to get it out. We need to be mentally affordable."
"Sounanoka?"
"Yes, it is."
Dr. Weisman said something about matrilineal society, but could it be an Amazones-style culture? and Chrono woke up his body.
According to Chrono's vague knowledge, Amazones is a tribe made up of women only, like attacking a man when making a child, throwing away a born child as a man, or cutting off one breast to handle a bow.
A horse, not a prisoner. But if it's worth using, it shouldn't be easy to get killed, right? This is where I flexed Sue... No, it might be my hand to actively communicate with other barbarians and stir up a feeling of abhorrence, Krono put his thoughts around.
Sue glanced at Chrono and grabbed the spear that was standing on the wall.
The tip of the spear was fitted with a blackening piece of stone, which felt more painful than an iron spear.
"Come yi. Chiefs, Guild U '
"Okay, I get it."
Sue stuck out the spear and ordered Chrono.
Out of the hole-type dwelling, Chrono looked around.
Barbarians...... The settlements of the Lou were on the slopes of a mountain close to vertical, on a cliff protruding from it.
The cat's forehead is lined with hole-in-the-hole dwellings shouldering each other.
"You're really Amazonas."
Look to the right, look to the left, all women and no men.
Finally, I can't even see the child.
Dr. Weisman taught me the right part about hunting and gathering. No livestock, apparently.
Instead there was a skinny dog.
Dogs are enough to call them the oldest friends of mankind, so they also have a habit of having hounds in the Lou tribe.
"... Walk"
Sue speared Chrono's back.
I'm wearing a cape, and I'm wearing armor, so it doesn't hurt.
There was a conical tent ahead, which was poked with a spear and taken.
The tent is made of leather and is larger in size compared to a hole type dwelling.
"... Chieftain"
"Inlet"
When I walked into the tent, a woman was sitting in a chair.
Is he about thirty years old?
Like Sue and other women, her skin is shallow and black.
The hair was so long that it tangled in the upper body that the eyes peeking from between the foreheads were sharp as razors, gleaming like a gullible and starving beast.
Sometimes the skinny exits are well out and highly exposed, which makes it a little difficult for the eye to do so.
I cover my chest and hips with banded leather, just like Sue, but is it because I'm a chief, the leather on my hips is as long as a paleo.
The chair on which the chief sits appears to be made of a combination of wood and leather.
"Why is Lete here?
"Lou clan notame. We need new blood.
Ku, and the chief scratched his hair to indulge in frustration.
"Me raga clan ni dirty lettuce blood blend zelt?
"We, Vitality Naxita. New Shii blood, required. Lou Nation, Nakunal '
I don't know, but the Lou are in danger of a clan survival and seem to need new blood.
"Mo Liang Yi"
"... Me, Between Mistakes, Ttenai"
Sue said in a voice like she was in tears and speared Chrono's back.
Returning to his original crater dwelling, Sue took the powder out of the earthenware and began to pinch it with water.
Sue could do it. When she threw it into the enclosure and burned it so well, she took it out and threw it at Chrono.
"Food E"
"I want you to untie me before I do."
Mm, and Sue stuck out her lower lip.
After worrying for a while, Sue put a stone knife in her mouth and untied Chrono's rope.
Maybe he was going to scratch his neck off if Chrono got busted.
"Ah, my shoulder hurts"
……
When Sue sat face to face again, she now took something rod-shaped out of the earthenware and threw it at Chrono.
Apparently smoked or dried meat.
Chrono alternated between biscuits made of mysterious powder and dried meat.
The biscuits are thin and crispy, and the meat is salty and spicy when done.
"How do you make this biscuit?
"Wood nuts, crushed. Water, immersion kel. Shinmi, Nakunal. Mott, Crushed '
I thought it would be ignored, but Sue answered my discipline.
"... he said blood lost its vitality or something, what do you mean?
……
Puy and Sue turned away.
"If you tell me why, I might be able to help"
……
Sue stared at Chrono and roared like a beast.
"If you don't want to answer, it's fine."
……
When Sue finished her meal, she began to stone dry grass again.
There's nothing to do either, so Chrono scratched Wallace and asked Sue a question.
As a result, the chief of the Lou tribe shall be held by a woman.
It turns out that a spelldoctor is the job of formulating drugs and poisons or applying engraving techniques.
It seems that the chief also has knowledge of herbs and engraving techniques, so maybe there are aspects to keeping the knowledge and skill alive.
"Omae, Oshaberi. Shawsi, Shut Up '
"Ha ~ i"
Gobbling because I had no choice, a Lou woman was watching Chrono from the entrance.
I thought it was a magic item and I haven't raised the clay plate from my neck, so I can't seem to communicate.
I'm intrigued... I don't have a man, so maybe he's curious.
Waving thoughtfully, the Lou woman hid herself as surprised.
Even then, the Lou woman came to visit Chrono.
For some reason, Sue's mood gets worse acceleratively.
When the yang leaned, the Lou woman finally stopped coming.
"... Omae, Oreno, Prey"
"I see."
To Sue, Chrono is like a prey.
"Night, Sleep"
"I knew you'd tie me up"
Sue tied Chrono's hands and feet in a familiar motion and lay on top of his fur.
The presence of the cloak was appreciated.
The next day, Chrono was knocked up when the night was turning white.
Krono was tied to a tree ahead of him as he was untied and poked with a spear.
"Me, the herbs, the pickles. Omae, to be"
"Looks like you could use another night's sleep."
Led to the tree, Chrono looked at Sue collecting herbs.
"... is it okay not to wear underwear?
"Master Chrono, does it look like you can afford much?
Bosoli and Myra whispered in their ears.
"You know exactly what I mean."
"We always know where the barbarians live."
"You don't have to cut the rope. Myra won't be able to get away with it."
I want to make killing Sue a last resort.
"What's the internal situation?
"The civilizational level is Joumondi, the chief is a woman, and there are no men in the settlement. Seems like that's why the blood lost its vitality and grabbed me. Ask Leila about the Jowmondi."
Joomonji Die, Joomonji Die, and Myra repeated.
"I'll put in some more exploration. Maybe there's room for negotiation."
"Dear Krono, we have continued to kill each other"
"I know. I wouldn't risk my life in a place like this."
Myra's signs disappear.
"Next, Salt, Take"
Sue bracketed a leather bag swollen with herbs in a spear and untied Chrono's rope.
The next thing they took me was a cave.
"I can take rock salt."
"Omae, to be"
A pitch-black pattern emerges on Sue's body.
"You're not tied up, but if you run, you'll be shipwrecked."
Rock salt. My adoptive father wouldn't have to buy high salt if we were to have a friendly relationship with the Lou people, and I'm sure he would be able to trade with the Kingdom of Dorado, but Chrono looked up to the sky.
"I guess the reason we should get along is because I'm not a party"
Remembering what happened between the sights, Chrono ate and tied his teeth.
War orchestrated from start to finish.
Leo with his head blown off.
Elves swallowed by flames.
Dead Horus with his eyes open.
Lizad got into the enemy formation by herself.
A lot of people died.
Thinking of their deaths, Chrono is going mad with anger.
That's when I could have killed Alford.
Self satisfied.
The dead don't want anything.
Still, even though I knew I was self-satisfied, I wanted to remind you.
Chrono scratched his hair.
I know.
You shouldn't throw everything out with emotion.
My mind is easily captured by hatred even though I know it by my head.
At that time, if the Earl of El Nato hadn't held his head against me, Chrono would have been ruined by involving his men and the inhabitants.
I am captured by hatred for wanting me to abandon my past remorse and get along.
Chrono mocked himself at the contradiction.
After waiting awhile, Sue came back with her second bag bracketed in a spear.
"Back to Le"
"I will."
Sue silenced to speculate on her sincerity and untied Chrono's rope. Then remove one bag from the spear and press it against the chrono.
"Jinmu"
"You don't have to poke me with a spear."
It was good to be working out his body, Krono climbed the slopes of the mountain holding the bag.
I don't have a land survey, so I almost went in the wrong direction and was poked with a spear.
Chrono opened his mouth when he could see the settlement of the Lou tribe.
"With that said, he said blood lost its vitality or something, what do you mean?
……
Turning her gaze over her shoulder, Sue was leaning down in a grumpy manner.
"... back in the day, man, ita. Ked, woman, pregnant manai, raw marlenai. Bad wind blowing. Man, death Nda. Me, the clan, the last no child '
"Why?"
"Minutes Karanai. Everybody, we have blood, vitality, naxita, words."
Sue said in a crying voice.
Chrono thinks that would be true.
People die.
Sick, old, wounded, witchcraft, but divine, but engraving, cannot overcome death itself.
The Lou tribe dwindles in numbers.
I'm sure the youngest Sue will be the last one left behind.
Because we know that, eventually, Sue is frightened by the loneliness of her visit.
"How have you ever made a child?
"Once upon a time, other than the Lou tribe, AC atta. Now, Nye. '
……
It was the law of inferior heredity that passed the back of Chrono's brain.
By inferiority we mean a genetic trait that does not appear superficially, and a genetic trait that appears superficially is called dominance.
Instead of focusing solely on the law of dominance, inferiority heredity, a slightly larger point of view… from the point of view of survival competition, the rule is added that individuals with traits favourable to survival remain and individuals with traits unfavourable to them are eliminated.
There will be no problem if it is a population with a large number of individuals.
However, if it were a small population of individuals, the genetic traits that should be eliminated would be preserved, increasing the likelihood that traits unfavourable to survival would be expressed.
Isn't it possible that the closeted environment of Mount Areos and the repeated acts of inbreeding or proximity to it caused children to cease to be born between the Lou?
Most importantly, this is only Chrono's imagination, and it is possible that he has lost the ability to have children from the Lou tribe itself.
"Dakara, Child, Out Se"
"No, if I work with you, maybe next time, or next generation, Ami Nogiki?
"Lou Nation, Final Wari"
Sue stopped and dropped her shoulder without force.
It looks painful.
It's none of my business.
Bumbun and Sue shook their heads.
"Motto, Grab Us"
"No, no, I'm not. You just have to get along with the Empire."
The pun and spear swirled and poked at Chrono's throat.
"... Omae et al., Oledano Land, Takeover"
"But if you stay like this, the Lou will perish. You don't have to grab a man if you get along with the Empire and have a friendly relationship, and blood will revitalize you"
The tip of the spear shakes to indicate Sue's grid.
"I can't, Da. Omae, Impossible, Word Tel '
"It can be difficult, but we have to do it"
Patsy and Sue repeatedly blinked.
"... what, sul?
"Don't let me show you where we're getting along. And I was wondering if you could give me a magic item for interpreters?
There's self-preservation, and there's an intention to cut down the Lou tribe.
Krono smiled toward Sue as she fell into a bit of self-loathing.
