The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

When I gently stroked the left chest of my armor, my armor curled up.Are you confused rather than dislike it?Or awkward? That's what it looks like.

"Um... there was a crest here, right?"

When I asked, the bones talked to the armor, and then the bones nodded. Thank you for the interpreter.

What's the matter, Corn?

"Here, when I asked you if you had a crest, you said yes."

Laocles and Marsen, who came to see me, joined me and thought together.

"They all had the same standard armor, so I thought maybe they were made together somewhere...."

"... I don't know, maybe the ancient armor turned into a monster."

"Hmm. Very ordinary, relatively new armor turned into a monster?"

When I was drawing the armor as a clay doll, the scuffs on their left chest looked like new.Each one of the fine grooves created by rubbing had no rust, and I saw a brand new metal color, so I think it was relatively recently that the crest was scraped off.

"... can you tell me which crest it is?"

When Laocles heard, the armor was shriveled.Apparently, I can't say. I wonder if there is a curse on it like that.Or maybe you just don't want to say it, but I'm not gonna blame you for it.

"... well, given that all those armour were of the same design, I suspect that someone with that amount of armor was involved..."

"At last... no, I don't think we should think about it any more."

Whether you've deliberately scraped off your emblem or if you have this large amount of armor, the more you think about it, the more you think about it, the less you think about it, but... let's not think about it now.Waiting for Princess Large's report.

"Um... in the meantime, can I put in a new forest crest?"

In the meantime, it was painful to see that everyone had a scratch on the left chest, so I tried to suggest that, and both the armor and the bone were flabbergasted, so I quickly drew a crest.

Uh... the crest belongs to the Knights of Bones.A crest of design where bones and swords intersect and branches are embellished around it.... but I thought I would somehow miss my armor, so I drew a shield behind my bones and sword.I put the power of armor defense into the design...

The armor is proudly displaying the newly shining Knights of the Bones crest on their left chest.The bones are happy wearing such armor.

You seem to like it, above all!

... and then I wrote to Faye.

The town of the forest was attacked by armor, bats and giant skeleton specimens, but it is safe.Boundaries are in good shape. Armor is now my ally.It was a simple content, but, well, Faye would come here right away, and I was wondering if the report was just "safe".

Meanwhile, the Knights of the Forest took a look around Soleira.Ask the residents of Soleira to listen carefully and reassure them...

... and...

Nice view.

It's a strange view though.

Night.

Bone and armor rapprochement meetings were held.

They used the corner of the forest carefully, burning the fire, and dancing around it like a fork dance.Ah, armor and bones are dancing in pairs...The shadow of bones and armor stretches long and colors the surroundings...What a strange sight!

"The way they interact is interesting."

"Yes, I was surprised that the bones were moving, but I was surprised that the armor was moving."

Lyla and I divulge honest thoughts while drawing bones and armor dances.No, I'm surprised. Why is the armor moving on its own?Besides, it looks like I'm glad I'm wearing it... hmm, I don't know.I feel the difficulty of intercultural exchanges.

"I don't know... monsters are a little affectionate when I try this."

"Yeah."

Lots. Lots of love.Both the Knights of Bones and the armor are somehow affectionate, so it's easy to get used to.It's thanks to their manners that we can communicate with them to some extent without faces or anything.

"After all, the shadow feels good.The delicacy of the ribs of the bones is well understood from the shadows falling on the ground..... "

"Well, you'll learn a lot, and even if you don't, it's pretty.I don't see the shadow of my ribs that way.And good armor.It's not the same as when Laocles wore it. "

"I see. It's also interesting how armor moves without people.Bones and armor are both very good motifs for grasping the atmosphere of the human body, but the parts that are omitted or highlighted are very interesting. "

"Yeah, I'm glad I came to this forest.I've never thought of drawing weird things as relaxing as I like them. "

While we talk about painting each other, we watch the bone and armor fork dance and draw and watch.

... it's a strange sight, but this isn't bad either.

"I want to show this scene to the people of Soleira."

Maybe this is where you can see bones and armor dancing, anywhere in the world.... no, I don't think so.

"Ahahah, maybe it's okay because Soleira's getting a lot like you, but you should stop.A lot of people will be surprised even if it's just a monster. "

My proposal was rejected with a laugh from Lyla.Well, after all, monsters are unusual.

"I hardly ever saw a monster come here.I'm quite surprised, even this one. "

When I was thinking about monsters in this world, Lyla did.

"... are monsters unusual after all?"

"Hmm, I see. Normally, there are no monsters in human towns."

Lyla said, "Naturally," as the spots were colored with the light of the scorching fire and the shadow of the bones and armor dancing around her.

... I see. I've been watching giant birds, horses with horses with horns and wings since I first came to this forest... Even if I find a strange creature, it will be 'like this', but from Lila's point of view, bones and armor are unusual.

"I mean, it's impossible for a monster to attack a human town.That's how I'm going to take the resurrection of the Devil King seriously. "

Lyla says that with a slightly stunned face.Well, I was looking at the monster raid thinking, "I wonder if this is happening," but this is not uncommon, is it "impossible"...?

"... where are those creatures?"

"Now... ruins where people are gone, mountains where people aren't there?Maybe people who hunt monsters know that. "

Hunting?

"I've heard of catching Summoners.Or... for example, dragon leather is a luxury item.There's a demand for that, right? "

Yeah, that's it.

... I've heard of the Summon Monster as a luxury item from Fei, but since it traps creatures that I don't see inside in luxury jewelry, I'm convinced that it will be a luxury item.

"Really, what is it?The monster is attacking me... after all, are you being targeted? "

"Come on...."

Lyla is poking me in a bit of trouble.

... when the zombies attacked me in the mountains of Golda, I still feel like the monster is targeting me to some extent.

However, I don't know why.Do you simply hate spirits, or do you want to target people who seem to have a lot of magic, or do you have secrets that I don't know about spirits...?

"Well, be careful.It seems like the border is going well, but it's hard to attack something with your power, right? "

"No, it's not."

"But it's time you went to bed.I'm tired while I don't know people. "

Lila said that, slapping and closing the sketchbook.I had already finished the painting, so I decided to follow Lyla honestly.

They both cleaned up the painting materials and stood up, and bones and armor noticed and waved at us.We laugh and look back.Friendly creatures.This kind of thing is also good inside.

If Lyla and I were going home together.

"Hey! Go!"

From the sky, I hear Faye's voice.... and then...

"Dear Corn, thank goodness you're safe!"

I heard Princess Large's voice with me.Looking up, she saw Princess Faye and Princess Large riding two red dragons.

... what happened in a hurry?

No, there are parts that come to my imagination somehow...

As soon as the Red Dragon landed, Princess Fei and Princess Large came down from the Red Dragon and rushed towards me... while they noticed the bones and armor watching us.Fei raised her lazy voice, "Oh, is that so?" and Princess Large screamed small and stiff.

The bones and armor each bow down to see Princess Faye and Princess Large... That's polite.

"Whoa, Corgo, what the hell is going on?What's going on? "

"When I was trying to find out about the mastermind from the armor, the bones bought me an interrogator and left it to them to solicit the armor.I was just having a bone-armor dance. "

I don't know everything, but I don't know.

Fai nodded ambiguously... and turned to Princess Large.

"Well, that's why. This forest was attacked by a monster, but it is safe.As you can see, there's plenty of room for corn, and whatever it is, the monsters who attacked are having a good dance party.So don't worry about it. "

When Princess Large heard Fai's words, she nodded ambiguously and leaned down.

"... what happened?"

I'm worried when I see Princess Large.At the same time, I think, "Oh, I wonder if that's what this is all about," and I don't know what kind of face I should look like... for now, I'm sure Princess Large is worried.

"Dear Corn...."

Princess Large stared at me with a tear film in her eyes like a giant purple crystal... and said that she was very sorry, as if she had made up her mind.

"My father... teamed up with a monster."

... yeah, after all?
