Isekai Taneuma

There were no fewer than 100 bodies piled up in the riverbank. It was a good number to say massacre a two-legged walking animal with limbs like a human, but I still hardly feel guilty because the other animal is an anomaly.

Scales that grow tightly from head to back, and faces that can only be seen by fish. There was no lid on the eyes and the transparent membrane-stretched eyes were slightly larger, and there was still a feeling that they could move even if they died. A tail-like tail grows on the buttocks, and when you look closely, there is a fin between your fingers and feet. The scales must have peeled off in battle. There were holes in my back that could be decided everywhere, and it looked like lotus cora and made me feel sick.

Success can be said to stir fear just by looking at it, but I wanted to question God's conscience as to why the utterly uncomfortable shaping created this thing. Speaking of God, it seems like a metaphysical vague concept, but there is a clean God in this world, and indeed the demons were created by Rasha.

So Rasha wanted to deny us humans and create this anomaly? What is better than humans? Suddenly I killed Luca, and it seems that this rough god is unlikely to survive.

With that in mind, Leonardo stopped by.

"Speaking of which, Lord, I was worried that I might be a demon... but now that I've seen this, what do you think?

"Ah, ahh... I see."

I'm not a demon. I am a human being by the looks of it. Feng tried to reply to the old man, but no words came out immediately.

Sure, I don't think I'm with this. Except for the common denominator of two limbs, one head and two legs walking, it was not conceivable that the fishmonger and the feng were the same species even if they were not similar to humans. And unlike the Wesen, and unlike the Divine, I would be human after all.

But what is a human?

In this world, there are various races, each believing in a different god, and as long as we listen to the stories of various people, we say that all such a wide variety of races are turned upside down and human beings.

Some species say that humans... resemble the homo sapiens of the primate humans who reigned on a planet known to Feng as Earth, but whether they look the same or not, can they be called the same people?

For example, the power of Jeanne, who easily transcends human limits.

Guillaume's power to pull a gun out of a empty void.

Are they human, or are they human?

Feng became less and less familiar with the real demon tribe.

"A warrior. I got one shot, but are you okay?"

As Feng and the others were having a conversation, Gargantuar arrived there. He is twitching his nose as he looks at Jeanne's back wound. Maybe I'm worried about the smell of dokudami.

"Are you worried? But I'm fine. I don't seem to take that much damage because of my high HP and VIT."

"You're strong. Thank God you're here. We wouldn't have lost alone, but we wouldn't have been able to defeat. Thank you."

Gargantuar thanked him and stopped as if the men of his tribe had seen something unusual. They also saw a lot of Jeanne's battles, so I'm sure there's no disagreement about its strength, but there's still resistance to the chief lowering his head.

Jeanne panicked and humbled when she perceived the air.

"I can't thank you enough. Thanks to your help, I've been injured this way. Allow me to thank you for this. Thank you."

The beasts returned to their original work as if they had moved when they had stopped. I don't know about the unfinished tribal rules, but there may be some kind of embarrassment. It is troublesome to say anyway, such as human society.

With that in mind, watching the work of the Beasts, they finished confirming the life and death of the demon tribes that were rolling in the riverbank, and now they started collecting it in one place.

I wondered what I was going to do, and another group of beasts who were exploring the surroundings came back with lots of burning trees and started camping fires in the middle of the river.

If you just look at it, you won't have to tell me anymore. But are you serious about burning this many bodies on fire? Or did the Demons inadvertently put it out of their mouth when they thought it looked like a fish and they weren't going to eat it...?

"Boy. We won't do that. I can't eat the devil's meat."

Gargantuar, who was behind it, glanced and said so.

Shit, did I piss you off...

Feng was drenched with cold sweat, and the Beast King smiled at him. Apparently, it was his classic joke. That's right, I wouldn't have thought I'd eat anything as creepy as it is if I had a decent nerve... Feng was delighted with my chest.

"Only humans eat these things."

As I added, Feng's heart burst into the words of Gargantua.

Speaking of which, when I defeated Goblin in the castle, I remembered what the soldiers said about flesh. I didn't check to see if it was true at that time... do you really think humans will eat such creepy creatures? If so, which one is the monster?

With that in mind, the corpse of a fish man burned in a campfire began to burn with a juice. The aromatic smell of grilled fish all over the riverbank stimulated his stomach acid.

At that moment, Feng felt the most intense nausea of the day.

Incineration of the bodies by the beasts continued overnight. Leaving it behind should clean up the microbes sooner or later, but it seems that the soil will be contaminated and affect the river for a while. So at the very least, they have to treat the built-in and bake it and put it there. Whether alive or dead, the Demons seem to be a nuisance to the Beasts.

Feng and the others were going to hang out until the work was finished, but when they saw the work that would destroy their mind, they gradually dazzled and decided to leave. We can't even move through the woods at night, so we're just camping nearby, but we couldn't stay sane if we weren't at least out of sight.

When it comes to visceral processing, it basically rips out all the contents of the belly and pours them into the campfire. Moreover, from the silhouette that approximated a two-legged walker, even the sights that pulled out the guts were quite common, but all of them were pregnant women.

Jeanne said that she had been begged for her life during the battle, but when Leonardo checked each one of the bodies, it seemed that all the demons who became Oannes were pregnant. Apparently they came to this river to give birth.

However, it was a little difficult to think about, and the old man looked steep.

As you can see, the Mermaid (Oannes) is basically a demonic race that inhabits the waterfront. Whether it's freshwater or seawater, large forests cluster around rivers… However, in the southern hemisphere, where the demons live, and the northern hemisphere, where the sacred empire is located, the rivers of the large forests are independent and not connected upstream.

In other words, the fact that Oannes was here in the northern hemisphere means that he entered through the sea from the mouth of the river... The river is connected to Brabrand downstream, and if the demons passed around it, the human fishermen would have noticed and become noisy.

Oannes appeared about six months ago, so Leonardo, who lived under the brave, could not fail to notice. So where did this demon tribe come from...?

If it is about 100 bodies, it is possible that they were missed by chance. However, it would have been strange if there had not been such upstream but more downstream incursions by the Demons.

Then, eventually, it is conceivable that this group of mermaids entered the northern hemisphere by land... Not at all because the mermaids did not travel by land, so the possibility could not be denied, but the rivers in the northern hemisphere and the rivers in the southern hemisphere are known to be hundreds of kilometres away, even in the nearest place. It was a little hard to imagine that this demon tribe had trampled such a distance with its fined limbs and limbs.

"But if there's no other possibility, I have to think about it... the question is, why did they come all the way here? I've never heard of such a precedent before, and it's like I don't know."

"For example, does a fish man have the habit of making a female colony in a safe place for childbirth? I was looking for a safe place, and I just happened to get here."

"Hmm... as the Lord says, if he's always a pregnant woman, it's reasonable to assume that he came here to give birth... but I can't say for sure. The demonic habits are wrapped in mysteries. I don't like what I'm trying to find out until I'm in danger... but I'd like to go back to the guild and ask for an investigation."

"Well, then, I'd like to go get the brave man as soon as I can."

"No, you don't have to panic."

Feng suggested a sudden move, but the old man denied it.

"The Gargantuar tribe is the focal point for the Adventurer Alliance. Since there is a residence near the village, it would be more efficient to ask the liaison officer who came there. I might want to check with my own eyes if possible. That's why I'm sorry to bother you, but will you hang out with this old man for a while?"

"We're going to the southern hemisphere to find out?

And when Guillaume checked, Leonardo shook his head.

"Leave it to the Alliance to be so authentic. I'd like to get information from the tribes that suffered."

"Okay. It's a quick journey, and I don't mind."

Of course, Feng and Jeanne didn't complain, and Mary could already live in the forest for a while, and on the contrary, she seemed happy.

In that case, the next morning.

The party that joined the Gargantuar tribe, which finished the demon tribe, began walking through the woods all the way towards their settlement. When he changed his purpose and said he wanted to stay in the forest for a while and explore the demonic trend, the Beast King told me that he was staying in the garrison.

When I went out, she said she was staying for a while, so she might still be there when she got home. When they told me they wanted to investigate Oannes, they were concerned, so they promised to cooperate if they asked.

That's why I decided to rush ahead so I wouldn't get in the way of the liaison. According to Gargantuar, his village was just around the corner, and he said he would arrive in a day if he hurried, but I thought he had gotten used to it a lot in the last month of hiding, but compared to the beasts, the speed of travel in Feng's forest was still slow, and it took him two days to get there after a night camp.

Believing in the words of the Wesen, I was forced to rush ahead, but even though I worked hard enough to take turns on the horses and breathe on my shoulders, Feng's feet were less than half the speed of the Wesen. Even Jeanne finally got along, but the beasts seemed used to walking in the woods and still had plenty of room.

After all, the beasts were laughing with their noses as they gave up returning home in one day, while everyone was camping. Even if they told me that humans were weak, I regretted it, but I couldn't say anything back because it was true.

In fact, none of them were Wesen, and he was a strong warrior. It is impossible for humans to confront the Demons with bare hands, so I wonder if they and the priests are reciprocal only by looking at their physical abilities.

But when you think about it, there are some things that are puzzling.

A beast much stronger than a human being lives like an undeveloped man in this forest, and besides, all the beasts I saw in my life were human slaves... why? It was no wonder, but I could not ask such a thing face-to-face, and the day after I burst asleep due to travel fatigue, I already forgot.

The next morning, when I left early, I arrived in the village after the sun passed through Jomtien. Contrary to expectations, Gargantuar's village was not along the river, but in a deep forest.

Away from the river, in the daytime, into a dark forest like night, passing through a wetland with swamps scattered like rocks, the huge trees lined up more than 50 meters, and the ground was covered with coke and cedar and turned into a green carpet. Looking up, a leaking day like an angel ladder plunged in, and the trees like a mangrove standing everywhere reflected the light and looked radiant.

As far as the eye can see, there are no plants more than knee length, and the view is unusually wide enough to say that they are in the forest. After passing through such a fantastic place, suddenly a square of light appeared as if there were holes in the green clouds, and the gargantuar settlement was there.

In the center of the square, there was a large tree standing in this area, which is the thickest trunk in 100 meters. Probably a square made by cutting down the trees around the giant tree that originally existed, with houses lined up to surround it. The houses were all simple, with roofs like rattan shelves on a high floor foundation, and houses with minimal walls seemed to have been thrown away somewhere, such as the concept of privacy.

Each house was connected by a simple bridge-like corridor that just handed over a board and seemed to be able to go anywhere in the village to play with it, which meant that his house would be a commute. Perhaps it was made with only the functionality of not getting wet in the rain. Perhaps this area will look like a lake during the rainy season.

The village seemed to have livestock, and it was the pigs who first noticed that the gargantuars had returned. When there was a big chorus with Buhibhi in the barracks that were only partitioned by the fence, the children of the village who noticed the voice popped up and waved their hands at the fathers who were still far away.

At that moment, the faces of the veterinarians who had been looking tough until then were broken, and even though there was no wind, the tail began to shake loosely, and the atmosphere of the group changed into a rag. Did you think there would be no more discipline when you saw the beasts running around like that? When the chief Gargantuar told you that he was free, they ran straight to the village. Looking at it like this, it's just a dog.

When they arrived in the village, Feng and his party raised their hips to meet with the Alliance liaison immediately after the break.

The Alliance liaison said they were staying in the village, but they were building a hut a little further away and stationed there. The villages of the Beasts have no privacy, so the inhabitants of the city are tight. The liaison doesn't want to come, so I've talked to the Guild and they're building a dormitory and Gargantuar managing it.

Suddenly visitors sneaked into the woods again from outside the village, guided by the gargantuar, where the cabin was just a few minutes' walk away. Is it slightly higher than the surrounding area, or is the ground dry and easy to walk? Feng was a little surprised at the emergence of a larger building than he thought the ground would be suitable for building a house.

I wonder if there is an Alliance tavern of this size...? It's been a long time since I saw a place that looks like a human place, and somehow I feel strangely relieved. Leonardo said he'd be staying in the woods for a while, but if you could lend me this place, I'd be comfortable...

With that in mind, Gargantuar stood in front of the house and shouted,

"Excuse me, do you have a static?

Soon after he screamed, there was a rattling noise in the house. I wonder if there are several or three footsteps. Since you can go from all over the building, you can leave, and you can hear each other yelling, it seems that the stationed personnel are not very friendly.

But I feel like I've heard of it somewhere... yes, why? As I thought so, I heard a voice between the two yelling at each other and finally approached the entrance dressed as if the voice were being pushed out.

Yes, yes, I'm coming out now.

I've heard voices through the door before. Looking next to him, Jeanne and Guillaume were also tilting their necks, and apparently they had the same impression as Feng.

The reason soon came to light. When the door opened with a loud noise, a woman burst out of the room.

"What?" "What...?" "Why are you here...."

Feng and the others who saw it shouted surprise to the three of them.

The feeling seemed to be the same for the woman who came out, and when she saw the faces of the phoenix there and round her eyes, she raised her frenzied voice.

"Huh!? Guillaume-kun? Even Jeanne-san and Feng...."

Right in front of me was Lucy from that guild tavern.

Dress up like the usual Oktoberfest and show your favorite smile. Why is she here...? I didn't know that, but the fact that she's here means that the other two in the back are probably....

When Feng thought about it, the people shouted from the back of the house,

"What!? Phoenix!? Ahhhhhhh!! You son of a bitch! This is the third chome of hell!!

Guild leader Philip and employee Meatier jumped out with a change of face as they ran through that line.

When they find the Phoenix, they raise their eyebrows, run their eyes bloody, turn their arms, and rush towards the Phoenix at a glance.

"Why? Why?

Under such pressure, Feng immediately turned right and tried to escape, but the attempt was too powerless before the two angry men.

Soon he was seized and beaten to pieces by the two. Only Lucy, who was watching it from afar, tried to stop them, but they were normally ignored and didn't help.
