So, what the hell are you talking about? I want you to finish it as soon as possible. Everyone in the village is scared, too. "
'There are a few demands here. but that's right. Thankfully, we want to exchange trade, food and information, these'
'Deal?... Well, let me start by saying something about food, there's not enough food in this village to fill that number of bellies. However, if you're paying for it, you don't have to accommodate it. "
'That's a good word for you. So shall we call it barter? Get out the fur of ice bears and four-handed ice monkeys living in Spirit Peak. I'd like you to exchange food for me. "
'... what? Fur of demons living in spiritual peaks? Hey, give me a minute. Do you really have something like that?
"Yeah. Elvis, show him."
Guide a boy named Ars and his entourage to the village to talk first.
I wondered what they were going to demand, but for one thing, it didn't seem like it was going to be an impossible challenge.
In the meantime, this opponent doesn't even seem to suddenly resort to violence.
I want you to go home in peace if possible.
Providing food is tough this time of year, but still far better than being attacked.
I can't say no more than my opponent is applying for a replacement.
That's what I thought, but what they put out was unexpected.
Didn't you come out with the fur of ice bears and four-handed ice monkeys who live in Spiritual Peak?
Do you have the fur of those demons that are symbols of death that strike you in the extreme cold?
No way, more importantly, have you even hunted at this time of year?
I don't even know what to do.
'This really looks like the fur of an ice bear or four-handed ice monkey. This will help in the winter because it's pretty warm. All right. I'll give you some food so we can exchange it.'
'Thank you, Mr. Sula. Oh, yeah. I'd appreciate it if you could buy it all out, not just food, but even money.'
"With gold? That's fine, but you can't afford it too high in this village. I think it would be more expensive for you to take it yourself to some city."
'Oh, actually, I still have somewhere to go. I want to keep my stuff down if possible, so if I can turn it into money, I just want to keep it that way.'
"... Hmm, that's what I'm talking about. Okay. Then there's no problem here either. I'll buy you what you can."
It's a strange story just to be moving the army at a time like this, but are you still going somewhere?
Too suspicious, but it would be wild to penetrate.
It has nothing to do with us.
Maybe I'd rather be thankful than food.
"So, is it okay that the fur is a traded product?
'Oh, no, that's right. Do you have any specialties in this village? Is there anything that sells well?
"Is this what we have here? Just so you know. There are broccoli worms living in this area, and are there any fabrics made of yarn that can be picked from it that I would buy as valuables? Well, it's just a small number in the first place because I can't take a large amount. '
"Is this fabric made from brocade yam yarn? Nice, that. If it's in stock, can I have it, too? Let's get extra fur. '
"It's only a little bit, but is that okay?
'Yeah, I don't mind. However, if you like it, maybe you'll come back and buy it in the future'
'That's a delightful story. In that case, you can come in smaller numbers. So, what was the rest? You wanted information?
'Yeah. Actually, we're thinking about going inside Atmos. But there was a lack of information. If there's anything you know, I'd like you to tell me.'
"... I knew it. You said Ars. Next to Ars is the Atmos warrior, isn't it?
"Did you notice?"
'Bye. Though the inside of Atmos is a distance from here, it's not like I know anything about it. Besides, this could be a good opportunity. Fine, follow me. I'll let you see him.'
The big man standing next to the Ars boy.
I thought that guy might be an Atmos warrior.
But I also figured that if you had an Atmos warrior, you wouldn't have any idea what's going on in Atmos right now, but it didn't seem like it.
They didn't seem to know anything about the current situation inside Atmos.
Years ago there was an incident in which the inside of the famous Atmos was raided as a place with giant warriors.
It was big enough to hear even in such a despicable place in the mountains.
Once on the battlefield, the dwellings of the warriors of Atmos, active in overwhelming power, were destroyed.
And inside of it, he says, is now in occupation.
The story is that the inside of Atmos is a strange place, and that's what they're after.
They don't seem to grow a crop full of rocks, but they can pick special stones.
The giants lived by worshipping it as if it were God.
but it seems to have become a weapon material for a man of skill.
In other words, the Atmos was targeted for its value as a place where resources could be taken from a certain country.
And it seems that the inside was attacked and devastated as if it were half deceitful.
Then I hear that for years now the Atmos' interior has been occupied by that country and the stones continue to be mined.
"Did the warriors of Atmos say that the Spirit of the earth dwells and the great stone, or something? Will that be the material of the weapon? '
'I can't forgive you. That is a subject to be worshipped that is above all important to us. Are you treating that like that, you betrayal clients?'
"It was supposed to be inhabited by spirits whose warriors in Atmos pray to get the magic to giant, isn't it, Tanatos? Does that mean that the Spirit is using the stone where he lived as a weapon? If you're going to mine for years, it's probably more likely to be consumables."
'I don't know. but I can't forgive you anyway.'
'Fair enough, calm down, Tanatos. So, Mr. Sura. I appreciate you telling me that story, but which way are you headed now? Do I need you to go out of your way to talk to me while I travel?
'That's why I told you. He said he'd let me see him. Look, here it is. Here's Tanatos and his fellow Atmos warriors. "
"Companions?"
"A giant woman named Lila. I'm hiding it here. But let me tell you something first, because we're not the ones who made that kid look like that. I just accepted that Atmos had escaped after he was raided."
I led Ars and Tanatos to a house where Lyla was.
Slightly knock on the door and signal to enter the house.
but i'm not going to wait for lila to come out.
Because there's no point in just doing so.
Lyla, a giant woman, was lying down in a room in a small house.
Even the most giant is usually the normal size, and the beds are not very different from what we use.
The Ars will know that Lyla is alive because of her faint chest up and down.
But when I saw what it looked like, the two of us stopped moving.
... No, the stopped condition didn't last long.
Tanatos rushed over and shouted louder at once.
"Lyla, you......"
'... well, it's been a long time since I've thought of anyone, Tanatos.... Good. You look fine.'
"Lyla, you, that face. No, my arm, too. '
'Yeah, and my right leg, too. I was injured and lost. You can't fight as an Atmos warrior anymore.'
That's right.
Lyla is hurt.
No, maybe it's not even what you can call an injury.
There are significant burn marks on his face, with his left elbow to the tip and right leg losing everything.
Honestly, I was impressed with how well I got away with it.
Every time I see that a giant can survive even in this state, I wonder.
"Tanatos, do you know about that person?
'Oh, I know. Lyla is younger than me in the same house, but she has fought on the same battlefield. "
'Right. It's good to see you again. Good luck. "
'Right. Oh, yeah. I didn't expect to see you again so soon. This is a really good day. Carlos, you're in the mood for a drink. "
... good luck?
Are you serious?
Though a giant, it wouldn't even be a story about a woman looking at a scar that hurt her face badly.
What are you thinking?
I thought so.
but soon I didn't care better about that.
Tanatos said to Ars, "Can you fix it? I heard."
And Ars replied, "Of course."
I wondered if Ars knew anything about medicine when I heard it.
but it wasn't.
Totally different.
Just one word.
A boy named Ars snapped just one word.
That alone cured Lyla, who had to sleep for years without even being able to move her body properly.
I can't believe what I just saw with my own eyes.
Why, how and how did Lila's wound heal?
If there are no more large burn marks covering half of his face, his hands and legs, which should have been lost, are back to normal.
That's not all.
I can tell because I've wiped Lyla's body with medical attention many times.
Lyla's body was scratched in many battlefields, large and small.
It turns out that it's all gone at a glance.
What is this boy?
I meant to know he wasn't an ordinary person either from talking to an overwhelmingly powerful Atmos warrior on an equal footing.
But they showed me the miracle of instantly healing a body that would never give me a decent life again.
Maybe this boy isn't human.
The Spirit, who was stuck with all the men in the army who had led him to this village, said that every one of these boys was in service.
With incredible spirits, healing wounds and soothing powers seemed as if they were gods with such speed that they would not even allow moments of blinking.
The moment I thought of it, I accidentally drooled my head against the boy, Master Ars, with my knees about the floor.
