Umi to Kaze no Oukoku

23 The village of Gorza is a hiding place?

To Mayor Janim, let's settle down and discuss it anyway, Shaw is taken home and put on a table with his parents. Sit next to Shaw, worried about what will happen to Wonder and Version.

"Um, Pips is the dragon knight of Cyrin's partner. Haven't you had trouble without a dragon knight in the village for decades?

Mayor Janim takes a deep sigh and tells the history of the village of Gorza.

"The only dragon in the village is Shirin. For a long time, I thought it would be better to get away from this village and go to the northern continent, where there are lots of dragon knights."

Shaw nods that he can't even get a child dragon with just one head.

"But our ancestors had been chased by the Empire to hide and live here, and the dragons refused to go north even though it was hundreds of years ago. Besides, I used to have a child with Dragon Knight qualities, so I guess I had hope that I could bond one day. The other dragons got older and flew away in search of a place to die. If Pips has the qualities of a dragon knight, and if he can bond, I want to free him from this village. Even if I stay here, the dragon won't come."

Shaw is puzzled by the sinister story of Mayor Janim.

"But Pips is still young... and I'm going to have to go to the Kingdom of Surah."

It is a burden on the young Shaw to take care of the nasty pips, the colour of the cruckle and the blue eyes that are rare on the Golce continent.

"How many are you, Master Shaw? Pips will be almost 14 years old. It's a good age to be alone. That kid chose to serve Master Shaw, so please take care of him. I'm sure there will be a day when I can help."

Pam asked that question because he saw Shaw as about the same age, but was surprised that Shaw and the others didn't look very 13. Her mother, Pam, was small, but her father, Peyan, was long, and Shaw and the others wondered if she looked like Pam or if she had not yet grown up.

Sure, if you're 13 or 14, you're no wonder you're old enough to leave your parents, and I could understand that there's no future for Pips the Dragon Knight being here, but Shaw still hesitates.

Peyan brought up the customs of this region, such an idiot! and Shaw is frightened when he is unscrupulous.

"I can't believe if I saved a person's life, I'd take care of that person for the rest of my life! Then won't anyone stop helping people?

Wonder snorts, too, that's right. But the people of the village of Gorza explain that Shaw and the others are misunderstanding.

"This is an old saying. It actually means that the person who was helped will serve the person who helped me for the rest of my life. Master Shaw, Pipps has saved your life. Besides, you are a dragon knight, and I know this is a very annoying story, but let Pips be a fine dragon knight and serve your side."

Shaw is baffled, let me think for a moment, and I say to Peyan, his father, who bows his head and takes a seat. Leaving the village chief's house, Shaw discussed it with Wonder.

"What should I do? I've never heard of such a weird habit."

Wonder was confused too, but advises Shaw that he doesn't seem to have a choice but to escape or accept Pips.

"Do you want to escape, do you have that too? But the cillin..."

Shaw could have traveled suddenly because we didn't have such a custom if it was just a village custom, but he couldn't abandon the fact that Shirin was here without a future.

Dragon Horse Fool! Wonder had a deep sigh that Shaw was familiar with being a dragon fool, so he would take on Pips and Shirin.

Shaw also wanted to confirm his will to himself.

"Pips may have just spoken of such a thing according to the customs of this village. If I leave this village, maybe I don't understand that I won't be able to see my parents and other nostalgic people like that."

Pipps, who was leaning against Shirin perfectly, stood up with a pat of glow on his face when he saw Shaw.

"Master Shaw, I will serve you for the rest of my life!

Shaw explains that there is no custom in his country to take care of or serve for the rest of his life, even if he saves his life, to the pips he envisions all the way.

"So Pips doesn't have to serve me."

Even to Shaw's persuasion, Pipps won't pull it off later.

"Master Shaw, I understand it's annoying. But I'll do anything, so please take me and Shirin. If I get sicker, I'll escort Master Shaw. Until then, I'll use it for a little while, but I'll do anything."

Shaw, who is being held by many squires in the outhouse, did not need to use a small room, but lost the strength of Pips' push.

"But I don't see my parents that way. My country is not a continent here, not a continent to the north. It's an island country on the far side of the ocean."

People's advice goes through, the ocean! and Pips jumps.

"The sea! I've never seen it! Is it bigger than Lake Maurey? A traveling merchant said the water in the ocean is salty, is that true?

Shaw sighs at the restless character of Pips, who falls off a cliff or through people's advice, wondering if it's okay to take him.

"I'm my youngest son, and my parents have a brother who lives in the same village, and a sister who's married in a neighboring village, so it's okay."

Explain to Pipps, who mistakenly explains that Shaw is worried about his parents, that you can't see them either.

"I miss that, but I have no choice. In my village, young people almost go out to work, so it's with them. Because I'm old enough to be independent anymore."

I doubted Shaw if he really knew, but Shaw thought that if Pipps were a dragon knight, he would be able to return to this village of Gorza on his own if he got him on a boat to the Gorche continent.

"So why don't you come with me for a while? If you don't like it or miss your parents, you can go back to Gorza Village."

Pips wasn't even exposed, such as feeling like leaving Shaw's side, but now he was just satisfied with accepting it. Wonder decides to change his mind when he hires a new graduate.

Wonder is horrified that Pips will have to coach him to ride the cylinder and give up his desert journey.

There was an old saddle in the village of Gorza, so I instruct Shirin from how to wear it.

"You have to tighten it tighter. Look, if you're worried, you can ask Shirin."

Wonder and version saw the brim and Pips wearing a saddle on the cylinder as a jerk, but the bowl came around with sword training.

"Bows and arrows, Pips is pretty good. But the sword doesn't seem to be practicing much, so I need you to help me practice Wonder and Version as well."

This is accepted by the two indispensable for training swords as martial officers without any problems.

It was decided to stay in the village of Gorza for a few days until Pips got used to flying in cylinders, so he spends his time practicing flying or training his sword. Tash and Sands also rest their wings for a little while and relax and watch Pips practice his sword.

In the image of Pips falling off a cliff, I thought he had bad motor nerves, but he actually seemed agile and enjoyed training his sword, and the problem is his restless personality, Wonder spots strengths and weaknesses in the experience of mentoring several cadets.

Shaw also regretted losing the version, so he hung out with Pips and seriously trained his sword so he could win every three times.

"By the end of this voyage, I want to be able to beat the version."

Wonder praised Shaw for giving him the sword arm, thinking it would have a good impact to have the same year's version and Pips on his side.

The night was spent teaching Village Chief Janim how to calculate the position in a book the version brought, asking about the history of the village, but tomorrow the Village Chief handed Shaw the ancient documents in the evening that he would travel.

"I would like to give this to Master Shaw. We can't read it, but the therapist said I'm sure Shaw can read it."

Shaw opened the ancient document handed to him and was surprised it was written under his true name.

"This is! The people of the village of Gorza were told that they had fled the empire, right? Could it be that you're making the magic kingdom sin flow?

Mayor Janim laughs bitterly that old things have been mourned in the course of time.

"Non and the others have become familiar with this land, and have repeatedly mixed blood, and become all that have no magic. Pips is a dragon knight who was finally born in the last few decades. There is no sneaking around to decay in this cold village. It must have been a coincidence that Master Shaw was not part of the Empire's current troika."

Shaw was worried about whether it would be okay to receive a few old documents that were handed to him, but if I could teach him, Pipps would thank me. Speaking of which, the people of the village of Gorza thought a long time ago that the colour of their hair and the colour of their eyes might be flickering and that they might have fled in resistance to the continental unity of the Empire.

Shaw rolled through the parallax and ancient documents, but he blocks his curiosity about wanting to read, saying he should not get sick on the journey.
