“Luna’s guest… And three men… … .”
“Hey, they say eat a lot. Let’s go and get a drink.”
Luna’s father looks slightly sad and her mother looks happy.
“hahahaha… thank you.”
I took a sip of the sake, which smelled slightly sour thanks to the fermented sheep’s milk.
It’s really brain-piercing sourness and a little sweetness. And unlike regular alcohol, thanks to its thick consistency like yogurt, I drank a drink that made me feel full after eating it, and watched the whole roast lamb spinning on the fire.
“It’s an exciting way, but is this big salt sprinkled with rock salt? The herbs that are sprinkled together seem to be used to remove the smell, but this is the first scent I have ever smelled.”
“You… Are you interested in cooking? This herb is not used well on the continent. It is a herb that grows naturally in Chavid… … .”
Luna’s father, who seemed somewhat sad, is dealing with Zero, and Luna’s mother looks at me and Kane alternately with a strangely happy expression.
Fearing that Hula would feel uncomfortable if I introduced him as the chief of the chief tribe, I told him that I was a guide, and he cheerfully patted me on the back and tore the meat apart.
‘It’s fun.’
A rabbit tribe father who seems calm and kind, and a leopard tribe mother who looks bold and strong.
this… I don’t know what the genetics are. Well, in the yard where there is a doppelganger, offspring can come out between a rabbit and a leopard. cancer.
“I had one drink at a time. The introduction was skipped a bit due to the joy of meeting, so let’s do it properly again. Let’s say I’m Luna’s mother, Repina.”
Lefina, a leopard tribe, held out her hand with long black nails, and I held it firmly and shook it.
“My name is Adelian, Luna’s friend.”
“Oh, you’re rumored to be that idiot?”
After shaking my hand, Lefina smiled mischievously and looked at me, and Luna, who was sitting there, was startled.
“Oh, no. Bocchan is a good person.”
“It looks like that. Rumors are just rumors, aren’t they?”
I laughed heartily and even laughed hahahaha at the hand tapping on my shoulder.
“This is Yald, my husband and Luna’s father. The first is Luna and the second is Shalom. Those two twins are Zephyr and Keppy. There’s one more, but he hates foreigners… … .”
Shalom is a slender and skinny rabbit girl, and her twin brothers are Zephyr and Keppy.
What is unique is that Shalom and Luna look similar to humans except for their ears, while Zephyr and Kefi look almost like walking rabbits.
Even though they are the same brother and sister, their appearance is quite different.
“I am Adelian, Luna’s friend, and this is Luna’s junior Kane and Zero.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“hello.”
Still, Kane greets them kindly in front of an adult, and Zero smiles sadly while watching the sizzling oil dripping from the grill.
After briefly greeting them, I started taking out a few groceries, daily necessities, and clothes and tools that I had brought beforehand.
“Still, I’m coming to Luna’s house, but I couldn’t come empty-handed, so I brought some presents.”
Do you go to someone else’s house and go empty-handed? And since he knew that most of Luna’s salary was put on her house.
Luna seemed a little flustered, but smiled at the glance as if she was grateful.
Then it’s time to eat and drink.
The lamb meat sizzling over the fire is lightly smoked by the smoke of firewood on the outside, sprinkled with salt and grilled over direct fire with seed oil applied on the outside, so the skin is crispy without being tough, and the inside is moist after being cut into chunks with a knife. do.
The smell peculiar to the lamb was also tasted more like a meat scent than a fish smell thanks to the roasted herbs and smoke buried on the outside.
“Ah, this is delicious.”
When you take a bite, the gravy spreads with a little bit of fat, and even if you don’t chew it a few times, the gravy fills your mouth and goes down your throat.
The coarse salad served as a side dish initially smells green and bitter when you chew it, but soon after, a strange savory taste rises. It tasted like the first bite.
I grabbed the foreleg that Repina had cut off and ate it wildly while raising my thumb.
Kane is good at eating anything, but Zero also seems to like it.
As she finished her mouth with sour sheep’s milk, Luna wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and asked Lepina.
“by the way… What about your uncles?”
Lefina grilled the remaining bones as if she were burning them, and smiled embarrassingly at Luna’s question.
From noble mtl dot com.
“that is… went on patrol.”
“Patrol, there’s something around here.”
“that is… … .”
subtle air currents. At that, Hula tapped her belly and asked in a tone that she couldn’t help but drink the milk wine.
“Are you a hunter?”
“I am not a hunter… At the pace of May, a fog that does not disappear even when the sun rises was formed three days away.”
Fog?
At Lefina’s words, I looked at Kane involuntarily.
Actually, it is true that one of the reasons I came to Chavid was to find an event dungeon called the dwarf’s den. Does this come out so easily?
Considering the size of Chavid, it was by no means an easy task, so I came with the intention of suffering for a month or two.
The fact that I fell on the floor of the doppelganger at that time, and the dungeon of the test subject, too.
Maybe it’s because Kane is the main character, but I feel like things are working out strangely.
As I touched my lips in a little bit of trepidation and anticipation, Hula pondered and opened her mouth in surprise.
“Isn’t that a ruin that comes out naked?”
Shalom hurriedly covers Zephyr and Keppi’s ears at Hula’s frown, but since they have two pairs of ears and a pair of hands, only Zephyr’s right ear and Keppi’s left ear are covered.
Does that mean anything?
“That, it seems that the remains of everything being robbed and coming out are correct.”
“What is it? It’s all ruins. Adelian-sama, some spices… May I take some herbs, please?”
As Zero stretched out his hand toward me asking curiously, I also opened my mouth, taking out a box of spices from the subspace.
“Is this a dangerous place?”
“that is… young master. As far as I know, if you go into the fog, you will never be able to get out. They say you have to make a bet with an old man you meet there.”
When Luna, like Zero, poured out the spices, Lefina sighed and opened her mouth.
“Well, other words say it’s the remains of a gambling addiction. When you go in there, everyone tries one more time, and if it gets worse, they use their memories to gamble with the owner of the ruins, and often come out without getting a single piece of clothing.”
“But sometimes there are people who come out with things like horns that chase away monsters, tinder that doesn’t fade no matter how many times you use it, or an ax that always looks like new even if you don’t sharpen the blade.”
I slowly raised the corners of my mouth as Hula took Lepina’s words and spoke again.
“Is it there this time?”
“… Are you going to remove the table and chairs again?”
Looking at my face, Kane and Zero say a word each.
what are you talking about, that’s embarrassing what do you see me as I’m a good person. Why are you like this? What are those eyes, huh?
“I am curious.”
“What do you mean by that? A place like that is dangerous.”
“Right, I don’t know why, but I heard that there are people who became idiots by betting on their memories?”
Hula and Lefina started to stop at my words, but even Luna looked at my face and sighed and shook her head.
“I have to leave tomorrow… … .”
Luna, who already knew my personality well, shook her head as if she had already given up, and I just laughed hahahaha.
* * *
Still, I’m not cold-blooded, and it’s been a while since I’ve met my family, so I can’t just sleep for one night.
Luna, who was about to get ready to go tomorrow, was dissuaded and sent to sleep in the tent with her parents, and we came into the magic tent I had created.
“Your tribemates will be following us, so will you be here tomorrow?”
At my question, Hula tilts her head, thinks, then nods.
“Perhaps. He’ll go to the Prophet and ask for you before coming. Perhaps this time with the great warrior of our tribe.”
If you don’t want to fight, Hula jokingly tells you to be nice to yourself… Looking at Kane’s eyes, I think we should fight even if it’s because he did well.
“There is no temple here, Kane.”
If it was a great warrior, of course they would use something like Aura, and if the two Aura users ran rampant, this area would be in ruins.
It wouldn’t be a minor injury regardless of who was injured, but it doesn’t seem like Kane intended to end it with a proper fight.
After drying it up and thinking about it a bit, I brought up the matter to Hula.
“At first, I tried to ask Luna’s parents, but… A tribe with some power would be better. Hula, you can make a deal with me.”
“Muh, what? What kind of deal are you talking about?”
What do you think you are so vigilant about sticking to the wall?
“Insufficient food in Chavid. i’ll give you a little We might be able to help dozens of smaller tribes, if not many.”
As I put the food in my mouth, Hula, who had been glued to the wall and was wary, opened her mouth slightly.
“… When you say trade, you mean I have something to give you, right?”
In the second half, Chavid becomes a desert rather than a country of grasslands and deserts.
They even plucked up and swallowed all the tough plants that the Mays didn’t eat, and they even roasted and ate the fine soil.
There are several reasons, but the acceleration of the desert due to the experiment seems to be a difficult problem for us to solve right now.
The problem is that the Evil Gods Church is working as a slave hunter to stir up the discord between the humans and the beasts, and at the same time, the other corps that come to Chavid are attacked by the beasts wearing subordinate necklaces.
‘That means I can solve it to some extent.’
Hula couldn’t tell her how her people were being used so she didn’t bring them out, but as much as they drive the beast people into a corner, the evil god cult is using the beast people to make fun of humans as well.
“Of course, Hula, you have something to do. How long are you going to leave Chavid like this?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why is Chavid driven into such a predicament? The first is that it is not a proper country after all. The second is that each person will come back to life.”
I spread my fingers one by one and opened my mouth.
“The third is because you didn’t learn.”
There are no proper schools in Chavid, and most of the knowledge is oral, handed down from mouth to mouth, or knowledge that only the tribe knows.
‘Even looking at NPCs and enemies in the game, their special abilities were different.’
Even abilities that look similar have different names, and the descriptions always include the unique skills of the tribe.
“So, I will provide food to some extent, so if you are in a hurry, put out the fire with that food, and think about making a guild.”
[Hula Patina―Chief of Patina]
Representative Traits: [Herbal Medicine (A)] [Brexit (B+)]
Hidden Traits: [Glyph Spell (D)] [Craving (E)]
Hula was with me, the doubts were gone, and the cravings were replaced.
It’s probably a desire caused by something I have or a conversation. In analogy with the words we shared, the prosperity of Chavid and the well-being of the tribe.
Craving also has Kane, and the effect, as far as I know, is an EXP correction.
In other words, the more you roll Hula now, the more you can get one more good trait or raise the existing trait.
If you seduce him, hook him up with Alkaido, put the hula on the top nearby, and fry him, you’ll get something.
I laughed slowly.
“Why go overboard on food? Because Chavid only welcomes the top team that comes. Why do you cling only to the top that comes?”
“… Because the continent doesn’t accept us properly.”
“No, that’s wrong. The answer is because you don’t know anything.”
I continued as I watched Hula’s horizontal pupils sway.
“Haggling, breaking through customers, making books and knowing the flow of distribution. If that was possible, at least one guild run by you should come out.”
Although it can be said that being clumsy and naive is not a sin, and ignorance is not a sin.
‘Then I’ll just live with it.’
It’s not a sin, but it’s a weakness.
Huntsmen bite the weak.
“How can you help with that?”
Charr-
At my words, Hula narrowed her brows, and I rolled Kruger’s ring once, then raised my hand with it on my chest and smiled refreshingly.
“With money and food.”
