Hakai no Miko

The Ethereal Horse felt like he heard a drum coming from somewhere.

Clarifying his ears, it is undoubtedly the sound of Zoan's drums. In the city of Bornis since the Ethereal Horses dominated, the sound of the drums used by Zoan for transmission had become heard frequently. For that reason, if this was just a drum sound, neither would the Ethereal Horse have cared less.

However, I felt that the sound of that drum ringing from afar was not the same as the sound of the drum of transmission I had always heard.

There, Shemr, who happened to be off his seat, rushes in.

"Soma! Do you hear the drums?

"Yeah. Something urgent?

Shemr shook his neck sideways to a pale horse nervous that this was also an urgent transmission.

"No, it's not. That's not the drum of transmission. - It's a song about the Medal of Families of Takeshi.

"Then..."

Shemr spoke in a firm tone and made it clear.

"Oh. At last, Menuin Gujatara Bararak, the chief of the" family of the predators "is here."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

When the Ethereal Horse went with Shemr to the gates of the city of Bornis, there were already gathered there, in addition to the two males of Garam and Zug, the faces that were the lords of Zoan, such as Menuin Bararak Banukah, son of Bararak.

"Damn, you barbaric. It's like you're shaming your family to come in a big queue."

Yes, Banukah shrunk her shoulders to shame when she heard Zoog criticize her in a spicy (shiny) tone.

Noticed it, Gallum lightly puts his back fist against Zoog's thick chest plate from above his torso armor. And finally realizing how Banukah was doing, Zoog scratched his cheeks with his fingers poly at first sight.

At that time, a great twist rises from those who were gathered around them.

Turning to the open city gate, a group of Zoans marching in with brave music had just come in.

First of all, the leader is a warrior wearing a torso armor decorated with polar-color dyed bird wings and fur and painted with coloured soil on exposed faces, hands and feet. As the warrior moved his body into small pieces to match the music and trembled the wings put on his armor, it was like a dancer at Rio's carnival. Then, behind it comes a band that beats the music of the Medal (Isao) of the "Family of Tenderloin" with a drum and a group of warriors lined up in four rows further behind it.

Every warrior had on the collar of his torso armor a collar (Eri) decoration that imitated deflection, symbolizing the "family of deflection".

"Look, it's Barak and Shunupa."

And when Shemr, standing next to him, nodded, and the pale horse glanced in the middle of the queue, there saw the two warriors in charge.

Sort of looks familiar to Zoan, a feminine wearing a headscarf on her head with a white horizontal cloth wrapped around her waist and a cloth covering her mouth, riding in the back. It's Wye Zanuka Shunupa, the witch-headed sister of The Eye Family.

Then, I guess the black spot (mara) patterned Zoan on the tea hair with the prominent collar decoration on the previous one is Bararak, the chief of the "Takeshi clan".

That's how he was the first Ethereal Horse to see Barak, but he felt uncomfortable.

Speaking of Zoan's chiefs, whom the Ethereal Horse knows, they are Garam and Zoog. These two are both excellent warriors who boast a strong body. Even the Ethereal Horse, who was Japanese unrelated to the battle, even feels like Hishihishi for his awesomeness as two warriors.

But from Bararak, the same chief as the two of us, I could not feel those things. Instead, the guard warriors around look stronger.

When I told Shemr about it, she smiled bitterly.

"I can't help it. Our Fang Clan and Claw Clan honor the battle, so the chief is chosen from among the best warriors. But from among the powerful bloodlines, the chief of the clan can decide in a discussion."

Banukkah, who was nearby, nodded and showed as he affirmed that Shemr's answer.

When the Ethereal Horse is impressed that even the same Zoan differs a lot from one family to the next, the sound of a loud drum is sounded.

Seeing it, the parade of warriors of the "family of defilements" stopped their feet, and the rides of Barak and Shunupa were about to be lowered to the ground.

When Bararak stands in front of Garam and Zoog, who lead the warriors of their own clan behind them to welcome them, he can still see that one head is low in back length. He seemed to care about it, too, or he was trying to make his body look bigger with a slight chest up.

"The Fang Clan is the chief, the Fagle Gargus Gallum of the Fierce Fang." Claw Clan "is the chief," Angry Claw "Lord Kraga Bigana Zug. Deliberate welcome, painful."

Bararak said in a dignified manner that doesn't look like it's hurting in the end. Gallum, however, instead of caring, expresses his welcome in a more laid back manner.

"Welcome to the The chief of the family is Menuin Gujatara Bararak. And the" family of eyes "is the witch, Master Wei Zanuka Shunupa"

Then Zoog is supposed to say a welcome word, but that won't be heard for long. And when Gallum looked aside with a frown on it, there Zoog was blurring out into the sky and turning aside. Sooner or later Gallum, when he put an elbow iron on its flank, deliberately made the bare gesture he noticed now and then Zoog said, gently raising his right hand toward Barak.

"Hey, you're late."

Barak's cheek caught on.

Then Zug makes a somewhat magical face, and when he stands beside Shunupa, he takes that hand.

"It was a long way to go, the" family of eyes "is the witch, Master Wei Zanuka Shunupa. - Hold it in my hand."

Even though he grins bitterly at Zug for letting himself out and provoking Bararak, Shnupa, who has just come down from an impossible one and has a bumpy foot, grabs it in Zug's hand and says thank you.

"Thank you," Claw Clan "is the chief," Angry Claw "Dear Kraga Bigana Zug. And the Fang Clan is the chief, Master Faggle Gargus Gallum. You're both healthy and above all."

Besides, Gallum, who had chewed up the bitter bug in Zoog's invincible response, also responded with his head down small.

Speaking of my son, Shemr, who is not qualified to stand in the place where the chiefs greet each other, looked at such exchanges in a slightly lowered place with the Ethereal Horse, but with Barak, who was teething and staring at Zoog, he meets with a fuzzy eye.

Then, when Bararak turned his face into a full grin, he also walked over to Shemr with high footsteps.

"This is revealed by the God of the Great Beast as the Son of Fagle Garguz Shemr, the Elegant Fang. He said you would stay close to my son Banukkah. On behalf of my son, I would like to thank you!

Bararak, who says with exaggerated gestures and gestures as if he were a stage actor, seemed to be trying to make his surroundings aware of the story rather than talking to Shemr.

"Your son and son are close in age and will talk to each other. I would very much like to invite you to a personal banquet soon. So if you preach even one of your teachings to your son, you will not be more pleased than this"

Banukah at the moment is more ashamed of that blatantly selling his son into Shemru.

But Shemr said no to Pishari.

"Thank you for your generosity, but now I have you under my umbilicus." You can't just walk away from it. "

Finally, I am not willing to invite myself to the feast by lightly inviting the Ethereal Horse, "you under the umbilical cord". To Shemr's stern return, Bararak snorted, but quickly took it away with a grin.

"You did. - So, what is that" you under the umbilical "?

As soon as they say so, Shemr introduces the Ethereal Horse with a rough nose as well.

"This is my 'you under the umbilical', Xaki Soma!

The Ethereal Horse, whose shoulder was grabbed by Shemr and pushed out in front of Barak, introduces herself with some concern.

"Eh... Nice to meet you, Aoima Kizaki."

Bararak was flashy.

I had already heard of the Ethereal Horse as a "human child with an unreliable appearance" than my son Banukkah. But still, follow the warriors who represent the plains that say Garam and Zug, so much so that they were recognised "You under the umbilical" by Shemr, the Son of the Great Beast God. I thought he was a man who couldn't spot immature banukas but made them feel like something awesome somewhere. But in fact, if you see it, it is a weak kid, either as Banukkah said or even below it.

When the surprise passes, there is a sense of contempt in Barak's chest.

"I am the chief of the family, Menuin Gujatara Bararak! You're Kisaki Soma."

Bararak snarls his nose like he made a little fool of the Ethereal Horse. Invisible anger abounded from Shemur, who was next door as soon as possible, but Bararak, unaware of it, said in a dignified manner.

"I hear he's quite a working man of bad wisdom. Working for us proud Zoan is quite a triumph for humans. Do not hesitate to work in the future."

That's all I said, I turned my back on the Ethereal Horse, as I said I was no longer interested in the Ethereal Horse.

"It's Raging Fangs. Me and the warriors are tired from the long journey. I'd like to take a break before we discuss it."

"Oh. Already in the garden of the lord's residence, a tent is erected by Banukah. Use me there."

Garam's words and Banukkah, who had refrained nearby, walks out.

"I'll show you around, chief. - However, the tent is limited, so most warriors will have to wait outside the city."

"There's a way. But..."

Bararak let his nose snap.

"- What a shitty (damn) smell. I might as well be out of town."

When Barak, who had said so, walked away, Shemr turned his hair upside down and resented him.

"What the hell, he's ha-ha!

It is as if Shemr had just been belittled by his "you under the umbilical cord", or said that he would not do anything to Barak, who was obstructed by eclampsia. When the Ethereal Horse says, "How are you?", he says to Shemr, "Don't treat me like a cow!" He got angry.

Zoog says as he sidelines those two comics talent.

Well, naturally, naturally.

I heard that. Sheml eats it and hangs it.

"Angry Claws!" Is that an insult to Soma?! "

"Don't be angry, it's" Elegant Fangs ". Have you forgotten I'm keeping the Claw Clan's protection?

Zug's words, Shemr, get stuck in words.

"But if you hadn't seen Lord Soma's power so close to me, you'd have said the same thing about Barak."

Still not likely to convince Shemr, Zoog urged him to "tell you too" with his elbow on Garam's shoulder.

"It's an exalted fang." Angry Claws is the best way to say it. "

In the meantime, Gallam continued in a calm tone to Shemr, who had come to look at himself.

"Think calmly. We, Zoan, were Setouchi of whether the race would perish, but as soon as a human child appeared from nowhere on our side, we had just gained the recapture of our father's land, a thirty years of sorrow, and thus dropped it to the city of man. If you hear this from someone else, you're gonna laugh at me."

But still, Shemr isn't convinced, he makes a fudge. And Gallum said, with one big sigh:

"That's all Soma did. It's always a great thing to measure."

"Mm-hmm. Then there's no choice."

Shemr fixes his temper.

Besides, it was a gallam that made me seriously worried that such a simple guy would be good for the Son of God the Beast.

But Gallam, who now has to give priority to the imminent chieftaincy consultation over his sister's worries, brings consultation with him when he gives a bow of grace to Schnupa.

"Master Shunupa. Before the chief consultation, I'd like to take a moment."

"Nice to meet you, how can I help you?

Garam turned his gaze to the Ethereal Horse in response to Schnuppa's inquiry.

"I want you to talk to Master Shunupa about what we're going to do with Soma."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Bararak, who entered the guided tent, lowered his hips over the cushion as he threw his legs out.

"Oh, boy. I'm tired from a long journey."

Immediately Banukah brews hot tea and serves it to Barak.

"Chieftain, please, have a drink"

Bararak sipped the received hot tea and breathed relief.

"Thank you for your hard work, Banuka. You've done a good job representing me."

"No. I'm not doing a big deal"

When Banukah shows in awe at the tribute of the chief, Bararak lets the warriors of the escort take their seats off by hand.

"Don't get so hard, it's Banuka. Why don't we talk about it without water for parents and children?"

When it was just me and Banukah in the tent, Bararak broke up with each other.

"I'm listening to your work. That's my son. He played an important role in the fight against humans by leading the warriors."

"No. We just ran with wood on our hips. It was mainly the Fang Clan and Claw Clan warriors who exchanged blades with their enemies."

Banukah, merely intended to state the facts, but Bararak took it humbly.

"Ha ha! If you're too modest, I don't like it. I thought you said it was no less important than waving a blade."

Gallum and Zug also said things like Bararak now.

But when the two of you told me that you felt saved your pride, it was just embarrassing to think that the same word came out of the mouth of a reinforced and reluctant chief.

"The smaller the scratch that holds the cow, the better"

What Bararak said was Zoan's adage for the meaning that the effort spent should be smaller.

"You're starting to get it, too, Banuka."

Previously, even though the other family members called his father opportunistic or indecisive, he didn't even care because he believed his father's words, "All the little things in front of him, all the pigs who can't even look at the big picture". But now it was rocking, too.

Even Soma, whose father looked down on him as a weak human lad, has heard that in the Battle of Holmea he followed that Jahangil and cut ahead. That's why many Zoan warriors who fought that battle together, even if they are not warriors - no, they are weak human boys who are not warriors, so they have both a glance and a second look at their brave actions.

But by comparison, his father, Bararak, says something big in his mouth, but he hasn't actually done anything.

Because of this, I also hear rumors from other clans that they are shady that they did not fight.

Besides, many of the warriors of the "family of defilement" fought against the great army of man, the Holmeer kingdom, but also caused remorse.

But still, they had no choice but to stand still. Because even if you argue, it falls to you to say the next word.

"So where was the chief of the Takeshi clan at that battle?".

If they say this, the warriors of the "family of defilements" will be unable to say anything.

A chief is a representative of his family. If that representative didn't even show up on the battlefield and was even reluctant to reinforce, I can't help it if they say so. This is all the more so because the elders of the Fang Clan, Garam, and Zug, the elders of the Claw Clan, are cutting ahead of the Zoan warriors and raising a glorious martial medal.

Even Banukkah felt that the inexorable dissatisfaction of these warriors was growing.

"Chieftain, I'd like you to say something to the warriors who fought so hard in this battle."

The dissatisfied warriors were the banukas who thought to get a word from the chief himself, but Barak would lightly embellish it.

"Ah? Oh. - Now, I want to focus on preparing for the chief consultation, so we'll do it again."

For one thing, he was a banukah who tried to eat down "at least one word," but no matter how many fruitful fathers he is, Bararak is a chief. It is unacceptable for a young man's self to contest the chief's decision.

"Alright, I'll be sure to do it later..."

"Oh, okay. Okay."

Still, it was a precautionary banuka, but Barak's consciousness had already turned to the chieftaincy consultation that was going to be opened, and he didn't even try to deal with it properly.

Before the consultation, Banukah leaves Barak, who wants to wrap up his thoughts on his own, leaks one sigh.

"... don't get lost, Banuka. Father has decided to think about it properly."

But Banukkah's voice, whining like that, contained an indelible worry.
