Mr. Athos.
Kind people.
Someone who is so sweet and loves you.
The man, with a body that says nothing, is in front of him.... Oh, I thought.
Worn out. Mr. Athos, full of scratches. Those people did that. Sad, Mr. Athos. I can't hear Mr. Athos anymore, and I can't see Mr. Athos anymore. Sad. Painful. How can it be that Mr. Athos has to fit such an eye? Why not?
With a heart full of grief, I see Mr. Athos' remains put to fire. It's a ritual to send Mr. Athos to the sky.
Sad.
Mr. Athos, why not?
Without knowing, the adults were moving while me, Gaius, and the rest of the kids were solidifying. He said we should move right out of our favorite village.
I was going looking for Mr. Athos, everyone was safe. The Griffons brought me back. When me and Gaius returned, Mr. Lan hugged me. Everyone told me it was good to be safe. I was lucky about that, he said. Mr. Athos is dead. I can't see Mr. Athos anymore. But ——— in the midst of the movement of the human country, Mr. Athos was still lucky to be alone. Spicy, everyone says. The truth is, it could have been a lot more, a lot of sacrifice. But I know that everyone is saddened that Mr. Athos has died. In his head, even if he was convinced that he was fortunate to have made only one sacrifice, Mr. Athos is saddened by the death of Mr. Athos because he was a loved one of us.
Everybody, they're all sad. Painful. You look like that.
But unlike us kids who are just grieving, all of us, sad but moving. I will stay behind the village of the Beastman after a while as Mr. Lan draws my hand. Even for me, who had only spent a while, that was lonely. After this, he demolished the house to keep the villages from liking the ones he attacked when the villages were attacked, and also burned down all the fields he took care of so hard. I'm losing what I loved. Lonely. Sad. But I'm sure Gaius and the others who were in the village more difficult than me.
"... Run,"
I squeeze Mr. Lang's hand.
Gaius, who is not here, is drawn to Mr. Dong.
The Griffons and Seafo are keeping an eye on the area. We're heading south through the woods. South of the woods, I hear, is untouched land. There are a lot of demons. So it could be a horrible place. But... I can't do it like this. If we stay the same, we could all be dead.
Oh, I think.
It's painful, I feel sad.
"Athos......, why, I have to die?
"... why humans killed Mr. Athos, I think it was because he was an animal man. Because he was an animal man......, there is something about the perception that you can kill him. Besides, I think you were probably going to hurt Mr. Athos, ask him where the Beastman's village is, and raid him. Mr. Athos didn't say. He didn't tell me, so I think he was killed..."
"I didn't tell you, because"
"... Mr. Athos has protected us. Mr. Athos put his life at risk and protected me. I'm sure. Besides, Lernda, I've probably never been able to find a village in such an easy place... because you're a godson."
The last word was as small as it sounded to me.
Kamiko.
Because he was a godson. That's why Mr. Lan says he couldn't find that village.
Really, am I such a being? In the first place, if it was such a being, why did Mr. Athos have to die? I was a godson, so I didn't have to find the village. And everyone didn't die. That would be a good thing. But Mr. Athos isn't here. I can't protect everything, I can't believe... It's sad, no matter how many times I think about it.
How can you do terrible things because you're an animal man?
Yeah, it's incredible to me that I can imitate so badly against ”people" without thinking about beasts or humans. I don't know how you can do such a sad thing.
"... I'm sad, I don't like it"
"Yeah, me too... I don't like it"
"Sad, don't, I want to"
Sad. Painful. I miss Mr. Athos. Tears overflow when I realize it. Always, I almost cry.
I..., sad, I want not to. I don't want to see the people I love again. I don't like it.
If I had been alone, I might not have been able to stand it. It would have been sad, painful and helpless. But......, sad or painful, I still think you can't just be sad when you're watching everyone trying to lead us hard.
"... for which I... will do what I can"
If I am, truly, a divine son, then you can protect me if you try. If I do the best I can, won't I ever have to lose it again?
I thought so, walking in Mr. Lan's hand.
- With the girl, go five.
(Maybe the divine girl sees the death of a close beast man and thinks a lot about it)
