Abandoned Priest at the Hero’s Party

The Wolf’s Secret

“Did it get weird?”

Kisea asked curiously. Without answering, the old man took a bite of freshly baked bread from the oven.

Although the bread had no taste, it seemed to taste delicious when mixed with seasoning, and the old woman ate the bread with a sweet expression on her face. The mouth was wide open, but the bite was not large.

“Where did it go strange?”

Kisea-san couldn’t bear it any longer and stopped replying. Either way, you only chew bread.

Unbearable Kisea was stopped by looking down on her anger for the second time. The princess grabbed Kisea-san with a perplexed expression.

“Let it go. Let me go! Can’t you see that? You are completely ignorant of people.”

“Rangwang, a little…”

“Do you hate being ignored?”

The old woman stopped eating the bread just then, but she responded with her eyes closed.

“Then why are you wolves watching us fall? No, worse than that. It wasn’t even a mechanical bystander. Normally, he claimed to be the owner of the plain, but when the plain fell into crisis, he was busy running away.”

“You ran away?!”

“Even bad gangsters protect their territory. What the wolf did was worse than the thugs. Where and what the wolf was doing when Epirna was ruining everything.”

あ. The old woman snorted. She looked at Ms. Kisea with almost contempt.

“I didn’t run away! Most of our gray wolf clan is petrified! You know, fuck it!”

“It was a problem before that. The gray wolf eventually gave up fighting Epirna and ran away, but was chased away by the monster. If not, if that’s what happened after fighting to the end, this old man will pay homage to anything but his knees.”

Kisea-san was very angry, but her eyes were trembling relentlessly. Even without even realizing it, he took a few steps back. The old woman’s cold anger subdued Kisea-san’s hot anger.

“When the position of the Beast King was first established, the only ones aiming for that position were wolves and tigers. It has always been one of two things to rule the meadows. At that time, I should have been attached to a human, even if I had to come out of the meadow and beg in the city.”

“human? human? What kind of treat do you think you would give to humans? Just on the subject of rats in the ditch! How are you going to be treated by humans without being treated by the beasts?”

Kisea was cynical. The children were shaking, so I went and comforted them. And I asked Rocca to dry Kisea-san if it came out a little too much. The child nodded.

“At least it wouldn’t be better than it is now.”

Here and there, helpless eyes appear and watch us. He was skinny, his back was bent, and his eyes were not open. It was evident that he had been starving for a long time.

They headed for the fire pit with strenuous steps. Some put their heads in the fountain I made and drank like crazy. Then, while coughing and coughing, he did not stop drinking water.

It looked as if everyone had not taken care of their hair for a long time, and the hairs were all over their bodies. There was no distinction between men and women of all ages. Hagi, that side would have had an advantage in surviving in such a cold place.

Even beggars do not do this in the system. Even if you go to relief work in a famine-stricken rural village, it is difficult to meet people who are suffering so much.

Even so, there are always temples where there are a certain amount of people, and especially the temples of Nemi-gyo are famous for spreading all over the countryside.

When drought is severe, giving food is the first thing they do. That is why Nemi-gyo boasts the most religious affiliation on the continent, and it is the driving force behind famine that can pass without significant casualties.

But where there are people, there is faith, and where there are no people, there is no faith.

In a place like this, it is difficult to find a priest who was dispatched rather than a temple. Nemiism as well as religions that worship new gods do not propagate in these places.

Although the system may look bleak at first glance, there are many institutions and facilities designed to help people. In fact, even in a small town that could not be compared to the system, there were ancestors named Ralph and Clark and a charity organization they ran.

But there really is nothing like this. It is wild as its name suggests. There is no one to extend a hand of mercy when they are driven to the brink of death.

The old woman who lived there had poison in her eyes. Even with the master’s momentum that Kisea-san radiated, he stood up against it. It is a spirit that only those who have lived closest to death can have.

“Soo-in says this is the problem. look at those humans If there’s a problem, I know how to put it together. If there is a common benefit, we hold hands until we achieve it.”

“On the other hand, what about us? Even though they were human, they were all thinking differently. They did not want to give away what their village had, but wanted others to sacrifice for them.”

“It ended up like this. If all ten beasts had repeated their advances and retreats with one mind and one will, we would not have come to such a place being pushed by humans. Lions and bears would not have gone extinct. We haven’t learned anything from our past.”

Seeing Kisea, who was still feisty and zealous, the old woman cooled down first. She sighed and sat down.

“Now that I have to come and tell you this, it’s just like a dream. oh well, it’s all stupid I’m sorry. I have to let it go, but seeing a wolf in a long time made me feel needlessly angry.”

“What is it? do you want to die?”

“I was angry at a place like this with the energy I had from eating bread, so I wasted only the bread. I want to know what I’m doing and what I’m doing…”

It seemed that if Kisea had to speak more, instead of digging up information, it would only cause a sudden illness. Finally, I approached and asked. Granny was certainly far less hostile to humans than to wolves.

“Grandma. We want to go to the Eastern Plains. Could you please let me know if there is a way?”

“There is nothing I can’t tell you about the road, but the terrain must have already changed. It’s a road we haven’t used in a long time. You’d be better off finding and asking other people, not junk like us.”

After leaving, I also asked about the Eastern Plains. The old woman just shook her head.

“I don’t even want to think about working there again. Epirna is ruthlessly governing the prisoners. No one is happy there. I still don’t know why you guys want to go there. Everyone can’t come out, but I’m afraid.”

*****

“That old woman is annoying! I should have destroyed the fire pit and came!”

Even after saying hello and leaving the village, Kisea was excited for a long time. But I couldn’t help it. She is a very weak grandmother.

Just because Grandma gets a little angry, I can’t make Kisea-san also get angry next to me. I was afraid that it would be true, so I couldn’t stay any longer and jumped out.

Thanks to this, the princess’ forehead was wrinkled, but Kisea-san did not recognize it. It was still an expressionless expression.

“If there was anything to steal from the house, I would steal it! The house is all worn out and there is nothing like it, and I can’t even enter because I feel like it will collapse if I touch it…”

To a certain extent, it seemed that he was eager to demonstrate the theft knowledge he had acquired from the saplings of the lineage. He was a very energetic wolf. Instead, it should be said, there was a result.

Mr. Kisea is no longer angry with Rocca. Since there was a more annoying subject, I rather grabbed Roca first and gave a sermon.

“Don’t believe that old woman. I don’t really believe what the rats say. The wolf didn’t run away. I just valued my tribe and my family.”

“Ah, yes. okay.”

“We didn’t have a lot of responsibility because we didn’t have much power at the time. Because wolves don’t have a lot of greed. Is the desire to preserve the clan so greedy?”

“I understand you well, sister.”

Rocca’s eyes were full of skepticism as she answered with a soulless expression. It seemed that he did not want to know the secret of the clan in this way.

“Is not it?”

“then.”

Kisea, who was happy, hugged Loka, who couldn’t smile. Rocca wanted to laugh too, but as if she couldn’t, she hugged her while making an expression similar to a hard smile.

“They are also the best. I’m sorry my sister spoke rudely. Clothes like this can’t be more precious than their own people.”

Me and the princess slowly fell out and whispered.

“The wolf must have abandoned the rest of the beasts, right?”

“Unless you know what exactly happened, you can’t predict.”

Kisea is the only one among us who knows the exact history of the beast people, but if you ask him, it was very obvious that he would tell you in a wolf-biased way.

Anyway, the bigger problem is that we still don’t know the way.

And Kisea-san still has no intention of opening her mouth. In the end, I decided to go to the plains and look for another village.
