Hakai no Miko

The Ethereal Horse took many deep breaths, trying to stifle her heart trembling in tension.

"It's okay. Calm down, calm down"

Repeat, tell yourself repeatedly.

Shemr called out looking worried about such a pale horse.

"Are you sure you're okay, Soma?

"Yeah...... maybe not a bit ok"

Show a pulling smile toward Shemr.

"But this is my decision."

"But don't you have to force it and try to convince the Zoogs to go down on their own? I am the son of God the Beast. I'd rather do it instead."

"You can't do that, Shemr"

A suggestion that made me want to cling by accident, but the Ethereal Horse shook off the temptation.

"That's not the end of it. It's coming. You have to admit me here now."

The Ethereal Horse thought this was the right place.

The Zoans are all proud warriors. In order for them to recognize themselves like that, they must themselves stand before them. You can't hide behind Shemr's back forever.

"Are you saying that, you're so nervous, your hands are shaking, and I'm a little sorry?

The Ethereal Horse showed Shemr his trembling hand.

Shemr then looks once in the eye of the Ethereal Horse as he gently wraps his trembling hands around him.

"It's only natural to fear failure. Still trying to move on, you're my" you under the umbilical. "

"Thank you, Shemr"

I thought the tremor had healed a lot.

"Well, it's my" you under the umbilical. "It's more your battlefield than this."

He leads Shemr again during the discussion with a playful trick.

Tickling the cover over the aisle and entering during the consultation, the gaze of the Zoans who were on the spot becomes pressure and strikes the Ethereal Horse.

Banukkah's gaze, in particular, is such that people are likely to be able to kill that gaze alone.

He now lost his hips and scolded his ankles, which seemed to sit on the spot, and managed to lower his back to the seat that was bestowed on him.

Then, imitating the Shemls, he lowered his head deeply with his fists of both hands on the floor.

"I greet you again. I'm Aoima Kizaki!

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

In the renewed consultations, it was Zug who first cut off the tantrum.

"First, let me check. Did Kisama give the Fang Clan a plan to attack the fort this time?

It was the very blade that borrowed the shape of words. If you're going to give a bad answer, by the way, there's so much Zoog temper that everyone can't help but think you might take your life.

Besides, Shemr, who was holding back behind the Ethereal Horse, accidentally floated his hips. But when the Ethereal Horse stretched his chest to crush the temper, he lowered his floating back.

"Exactly. I taught the Fang Clans how to get rid of humans. And if you obey me, you drop the fort and let them take back the plain."

He was a pale horse who answered with perseverance, but he was actually going to still graduate.

I manage to mobilize all the slightest patience so it doesn't get on my face, but I still can't stop my face from catching on. The Ethereal Horse was fortunate that a change in human expression to that extent was difficult for Zoan to understand.

"We are proud Zoan warriors! You can't follow a weak person like you!

That was what had been envisaged during meetings with Garam and Shemr that it would always be disputed. So the Ethereal Horse answers without panic.

"Even if you follow me, you will never hurt Zoan's warrior pride."

"What can you prove and say all that?!"

"Have you forgotten? Grace me as Shemr's son."

Zoog gets stuck in words.

No one knows the grace of Shemr in Zoan.

Her grace is to protect her own pride. If it were a shameful act to follow the Ethereal Horse, Shemr would not have been able to make the Ethereal Horse "you under the umbilical".

"Earlier, let me confirm that Mr. Shemr is definitely still your son"

Shnupa makes a damned statement there. The witch-headed sister of the Eye Clan who conducts the sacrifice assured her. I can't be more certain.

If you still say that this is a shameful act to follow the Ethereal Horse, you may not only insult Shemr, your son, but even deny the God of the Beast, who made her your son.

When I heard that Shemr had become my son and had been graced, I mocked (bruised) that I should get a more usable grace, but Zoog thought I had to revisit the idea. The grace of asking the God of the Beast to watch over pride is equal to the fact that the God of the Beast guarantees its authenticity for all Shemr's actions if he returns the back. Surprisingly, you can only follow one Shemr and get a big name for Zoan.

Zoog is frustrated that it was such a horrible grace.

Of course, Shemr didn't get grace for thinking about it, but sometimes people's innocence is a good example of producing surprisingly tough forces.

Zoog decided to change his attacker.

"Aren't you human! Why would a human being trying to root us out with an inferior beast try to take our side?! I just think there's a back!

"I have nothing to do with this person."

"You think it doesn't matter?

"Yes. I am the 'Dropper' who came to this world from different worlds. I've never even spoken to anyone in this world."

Even though the Zugs look surprised, the old lady guarantees the words of the Ethereal Horse.

"By the name of the god of beasts, it's true. Me and Shemr would have spoken a decent word if we hadn't connected to this world."

"The people of this world threw me into the dungeon without a word. I don't owe you a grudge."

Zug loses sight of the goal of attacking the unexpected counterattack when he intends to steep clear that the Ethereal Horse is human, not Zoan, and gets lost in tone.

"So, so will we against Zoan!

All I can say is that it's bad luck for Zoog because it's near impossible to presume in advance that the Ethereal Horse is a dropper.

But Ethereal Horse is not going to bother to consider it. All this time here, he added a painful counterattack to Zug.

"No. I asked Shemr to save my life. I heard that Zoan has the word 'One Raven's Grace', but also the word 'One Meal's Grace' in my place of birth. The benevolence of having one night's inn and one meal taken care of means that it must always be returned. That's why I helped Fang Clan."

"Unbelievable! You're telling me you'll betray your own species just because they fed you!

Zoog shrugs back at the banukah scream. Because Banukah didn't understand why the Ethereal Horse bothered to say "thanks to one raven".

Until then Garam, who had tried to shut up, said to Banukah with a mean grin.

"Well, if you're a member of the family, you seem to be taking a lighter look at" The Grace of a Raven. "

"Yes... no, not like that...!

In the words of Gallam, the venerable warrior, Banukkah becomes elusive.

For a Zoan warrior who respects pride above all else, it is a disgrace not to return the favor received. On the contrary, it is not something a hundred warriors can do, such as turn their backs on their own species and return the favor of only one rabbit.

That is precisely the beauty story.

Many warriors will give their praises and praise. If you ass it, you'll just get slapped like Banukah is now.

Say Zoog, who puts more emphasis on merit than pride, never underestimates pride.

A warrior who obeys only the benefits will be easily distracted if he makes more tangible gains. But his proud attitude and the measure of praise for the pride of others lead him to gather the confidence of the warriors, and such warriors become comforting allies when they say they must.

Whatever it is to say that a greater good will be gained, it is assumed that Zug will not be able to talk about the beauty of the Ethereal Horse here and devalue himself.

By tailoring his actions to beauty talks, the Ethereal Horse sealed the attackers of the Zugs.

"... let me ask you about specific measures to attack the fort"

Zoog put the bitters together and said with a chewy face, to squeeze them out.

Originally, I wanted to expose the Ethereal Horse to race, identity, etc. and beat it up and keep it in a spiritual advantage before we talked about the concrete attack on the fort.

But now that it's over unwell, we have to attract the flow of consultation here, even if we manage to get the difficulty into the plan that Ethereal Horse launches. In order to do so, I waited for the Ethereal Horse to open its mouth in the mood to say that I would not miss hearing about the minor problems of the measures the Ethereal Horse spoke of.

But the Ethereal Horse said something unexpected.

"I can't tell you the specifics right now"

"Hey, what?!"

"There is a saying, 'Every conspiracy is a secret.'"

The Zoans who were on the spot are confused without understanding what the Ethereal Horse is saying.

That was no exception to Zoog, but his pride was too high to say that he honestly didn't know.

"An important operation doesn't know where it leaks to the enemy and fails. So it's a good idea to keep it a secret."

"Ooh! You're right!

Even though the Ethereal Horse explained it, Zug nodded in the way he even knew.

"But then you can't decide whether or not to cooperate!

Yes, Banukkah would be nice to say.

I don't know what to use as a criterion for judgment, even if you ask me to help you with that, keeping a secret about how to drop a key fort.

All I'm saying is, you have to trust me.

"I'm saying I can't decide that! What do you want me to believe?!"

"Only a few warriors and old children, with a track record of getting rid of 800 human armies."

If you ring no to this, say, "Can you do that?" It is obvious that they will be cut back.

Banukah had no choice but to shut her mouth in regret.

But Zug was surprised.

The answer to Ethereal Horse is strange. If we are serious about getting the help of other clans, we should rather take the initiative and try to gain trust by revealing how to drop the fort. If you're confident about that method, it would be quicker to do so.

Of course, you expect Zoog to try to get difficulty into it and take the lead in the consultation, but if it's to avoid it, it's the end of the line. I don't know what measures there are, but you're supposed to want the help of other clans to drop the fort, but if you hide it, you can only reinforce your distrust, like Banukah.

This only makes me look like Zoog, as if I am rather not seeking the cooperation of other clans.

"If that's what you're saying, I'm not too shy to lend a hand."

Zoog decided to attack from his flickering hands rather than remain strong like this.

"But there's no way I can believe you and my compatriots are that easy. Don't you?"

"I think you're right"

The Ethereal Horse honestly nodded as Zoog asked for his consent.

And Zoog, do it! And, damn it, laugh.

"Hey, it's Gallum. First of all, if you, the Fang Clan, take the initiative and show us your trust in this human kid, then we will try to imitate it?

Zoog stared when the aim of the Ethereal Horse and Gallum was to sharpen the power of the Claw Clan.

Compared to the fact that many warriors have been lost because the Fang Clan has fought to drop the fort more than once before, it should have been noticed that the Claw Clan has kept the warriors warm avoiding a battle with humans.

So, having taken the Zoogs' pledge of cooperation, I guess the idea is to drive the Claw Clan to the most dangerous place and reduce the number of warriors.

But when Zoog, who can't wait to be used for good things, took the Ethereal Horse's tenet that he couldn't help but believe himself easily, he used it as a clue against other families. [Fang Clan] first set his example and struck out backwards to see if he should be in the vanguard of the fortification strategy.

On this one hand, Zoog figured out how the two would return it, but Gallum's reaction exceeded Zoog's expectations.

"What Angry Claws say is good. From now on, our Fang Clan is going to be ahead of us."

Zoog was surprised. With the information he has learned and the current state of the Fang Clan inferred from it, there should be less than a hundred people who can be called warriors. To that extent, it falls to be kicked in with bows and arrows before reaching the fort's walls.

That's no longer courage, it's barbaric courage that you don't think about later.

But the answer of the Ethereal Horse went even further on it.

"Yes, I, too, intend to drop the fort only with the help of the Fang Clans."

Everyone went wild.
