Leon drove the carriage slowly and came.
When he got off the carriage,
“Hey, Shou, I missed you!”
and he tried to pick Shou up. But he stopped.
“Shou, you...... are you going fishing?”
Sh*t. I was still holding the tub and branches. I tapped Falco's foot, who rolled over laughing every time, but oh, we were a guest. Shou put the tub, branch, dagger and sticks on the ground. Then she was quickly picked up by Leon. Yeah, it seems that picking her up is standard. It seems it wasn't a lie from Falco.
“Leon, get over here”
“Monk, I'm sorry”
Leon said a little politely and then set Shou down. Shaw looked up at monk with interest. The man, the monk, was bigger than Falco and bigger than Leon. He wore a long robe, like a church priest, but that, he was kind of tough. In his age, he would be about fifty years old in Japan. He had blonde hair like Leon.
The monk looked tenderly at Shou,
“come here”
and he opened his hand. I just wandered over to him and he picked me up again. As expected, this is becoming standard.
“Good child. I am Sein. And you?”
“I'm Shou”
“Hmm. Polite. Looks like Falco hasn't had a bad influence on you. Nevertheless”
The monk gently set me down.
“Falco”
“Yes!”
Falco, who had been laughing, hurriedly corrected his action.
“I thought you were going to be an adoptive parent. What's with this child's outfit?”
Falco, Shou and Leon looked at Shou's outfit. Belt! Shou hurriedly unbuckled her belt in a hurry. 'Well?' When I looked at the monk, he shook his head and sighed.
“A child should have clean clothes. How many days have she been wearing these clothes?”
Yeah, I've only been wearing it for a week. Does it smell bad? Shou sniffed her sleeve. Hmmm, I don't know myself. But I feel sorry for Falco if he doesn't say something.
“Um, I take a bath every day, and I wash my head and pants properly”
Then I borrowed Falco's pants and slept. Squeezing the straps tight. Shou's family wasn't one to wash her father's pants separately. I don't care whose clothes it is, as long as they are clean. So, my pants are dry in the morning.
Leon and Falco made an ah-hah face. The monk frowned even more,
“I didn't know you even let a child do your laundry....”
and began to lecture Falco. Oops. Failure. Oh, well.
“Leon, let me help you with your stuff”
“Thanks, but let's start with the food”
While I was carrying the food, I also boiled the water. I carried it all in and he was still preaching,
“Um, would you like a cup of tea? It's cold”
and I called out to him. Falco gave me a look that said he was saved. I was sure it was cold, so I asked them to come into the hut and settle down at the table. There was no snack, so we prepared dried fruit and served tea. Then I climbed up and sat down on a chair raised with a blanket.
Everyone watched Shou with a blank stare. Falco, though, for some reason, was proud of himself. Leon looked around and said as if he suddenly realized.
“Come to think of it, the hut is a little cleaner than I thought it would be”
“Shou is cleaning up the house after all”
“And the kitchen's cleaned up”
“Shou is washing up afterwards”
“It must have been difficult due to a sudden loss of soup”
“Shou is been making soup for a while now”
Also, I was hunting slime, though. Shou thought, and drank the tea. The tea in this world tastes like black tea and is quite tasty. Hm? The monk spoke to Shou like this.
“Shou, do you have a place to call home?”
“Monk! I'm sure Shou has her own reasons! Don't ask like that suddenly! I didn't even ask that her yet!”
Falco stood up and growled. It's okay, Falco, he said. I don't know how to talk about it, but it's not easy.
“I can't go home now. Maybe my family is still alive. But someone told me that eventually they all will be hunted”
“Will get hunted....”
“It's a hunting ground. Everyone's here to hunt”
Leon was surprised to hear it.
“Did you get hunted too?”
I nodded.
“There were three of us left. It's because I was told that we are neither medicinal nor poisonous”
“Oh, my......”
Leon was stunned, but Falco gave him a stern look and said.
“What happened to the other two? Shou was the only one in the forest”
What did you say, uh.
“One of us went to an agriculture place...”
“One is gone to Plain”
“The other one is a magic place...”
“Lake, I guess”
The three of them spoke in unison. Then the monk said gently.
“Leaving the three of you spread apart.......I've never heard of hunting people before, but I'm guessing it's a central mountain tribe....... Shou, you don't know what part of the country you're in, do you?”
Yeah, something that's not in this world. Shou nodded.
“I'm sorry. I'm sorry to ask painful things of you”
“well”
“What is it, Shou?”
The monk is from the church, in other words, the one from Goddess of Genesis. Shou had a thought every time she saw the slime slice through and stop moving.
In other words, what happens to the soul of slime? Goddess said that the soul of 12 train worth would be used as energy. Are those souls being used on the slime I slice through? Then I don't want to hunt it.
“What happens to the soul of a slime?”
“Hmmm, this child really does come from a hidden land. Everyone knows this”
The monk put a hand to his chin and said so.
“Slimes don't have a soul, you know”
“But it's moving. And it's angry and spitting acid”
“Goddesses, you see, give souls to warm creatures like people and horses and squirrels. And the extra energy of the world becomes a monster. Monsters, you see, don't take a meal”
“Do they not eat?”
“When there is a surplus of energy in the world, cold-bodied monsters like slime and lizards arise. The monsters just multiply and gather to the warm-spirited creatures. They don't disappear unless you hunt them. And when you hunt them, their energy remains as magical stones and materials”
“The slime was a light blue magic stone”
“Yes. It is like a moving mine, so to speak. Monsters, you know, are born and destroyed in a different kind of trouble than the soul”
Shou was a little relieved. She hadn't been hunting Japanese buddies.
The monk said as he looked at Shou drinking tea with relief.
“Maybe this kid should be sent to Lake to learn academics. I've lived 150 years and I've never seen a child think so deeply about things”
“No! No, no way. Shou lives with me in Deep Forest”
“But”
“Well, well, well, monk, aren't you here for the test ritual?”
“Oh, Leon, I forgot about that, that's right”
The monk pulled out two crystal-like objects from his pack. Finally. May I be endowed with the power to heal.
