Chapter 10
Girl and the Beast Man 3
“How did you get to live here?
‘Cause they dumped me.
“… I didn’t mean abandoned, to my family?
“Yeah. Yeah. Seafo brought me here.”
“What was Seafo called Skyhose?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s true that you’re on a contract…. I don’t think so, but with all the Griffons?
“Yeah. Even the Griffons, they do.”
“… with which Griffon is it”
“All”
I was being asked so much by Gaius’ father right now.
Gaius’ father seems intrigued by me.
I mean, I’m surprised at one thing, or it looks like I’m about to hold my head, okay?
While Gaius’ father and I were in conversation, the others watched over this one. The same is true of the Griffons and Seafo. Did the child Griffons get tired of listening to the conversation or did some of the sleeping kids show up in their sights though?
Gaius is next to me, by the way.
Gaius’ father looked out when he heard I was on a contract with everyone.
“… is everything here, Master Griffon?”
“Yeah. By the way, why salute?
I was surprised to hear it because I suddenly saluted it.
“… I can’t impertinently imitate the existence of a contract with Mr. Griffon.”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Because I’m not as special as Gaius’ father might be. Maybe it’s a godson, so when it comes to special, it’s special, but it’s kind of a rush for Gaius’ father to use his salutation.
Respect makes me feel kind of distant to my heart and I don’t like it. Gaius’ father is much older.
Then Gaius’ father, who wanted to use the salutation, and my offense, who didn’t want me to use the salutation, went on. The results are:
“Okay. I don’t use respectful language. That’s it, Lernda.”
“Yeah!”
It is my sticky win. Good luck!
After that offense is over, I say.
“Everybody, name, want to know”
After all, it is me who was unable to grasp a name other than Gaius. I talked to Gaius’ father a lot, but I hadn’t heard his name yet.
So four other people besides Gaius introduced themselves.
Gaius’ father is Athos.
The beast man of a woman with brown hair is Sinorn.
The red-haired male beast man is, Oceanio.
Brown-haired male beast man, dong.
That’s the name, apparently.
“Mr. Athos, do you bring the tribute, often?
“About once every two months. Basically, if there’s no hope, I’ll bring food and stuff like what Griffon is collecting.”
“The words of the Griffons, you know?
“I don’t know exactly what Griffon said, but I can communicate with you somehow”
“Why, Griffons, God?
“Because I am overwhelmingly a strong man in this forest. Plus, I’ve been helped by Griffon in my life in the woods. That’s the result of the overlap.”
I wonder if it means that the Griffons are overwhelmingly strong and sometimes get help or grace, and as a result of that overlapping, the Griffons are being raised like gods in this forest. Griffons, wow.
“Where do you live, Mr. Athos?
“There’s our village about a week east of here”
“Can I go, please?
I was asking Mr Athos that unexpectedly.
Gaius had never seen a beast before. This is also the first time I have confronted as many as five beasts. I’m interested.
There it is.
Plus the days I live here with the Griffons and Seafo are calm, fun, but I’m human. The same goes for the clothing problem that the Beasts brought me, but when I live all the time, the problem arises.
I am being helped by everyone. But if it’s a family, I want to be supported, not just helped, but supported.
If I go inside the Beast Man, I might find something I can do. I’m not thinking about a clear goal or how I’m going to live with it, but I might find something. Yeah, I think so.
… Well, of course because I’m intrigued inside the mundane beast man and I’m excited to see if any of them are mundane.
“In our village?… I don’t mind that.”
“Thank you. Everybody… take me, okay?
“Master Griffon and Skyhose?
Mr. Athos looked a little surprised at my offer. But I wasn’t willing to leave my family and go to a new place. That’s why I signed up, and I think it’s natural to be with you.
“No?”
“No, I don’t mind. However, I would like to be prepared for acceptance by the village when the Griffons become too. You’ll need to be ready to accept Lernda, a human being.”
“You’re human, are you ready?
“… Lernda may not know because she is a child, but some humans do not recognize us as people or catch us to fall into slavery. I’m still a child, and I know you won’t accept Lernda, who’s so close to Master Griffon, but some of them have complicated thoughts.”
“… that’s a terrible story.”
I had no idea.
I never met the Beast Man, and it wasn’t the Village that the Beast Man topic came up. I knew it existed, but it wasn’t even educated like that when it was a village.
There’s a way of thinking about human beings first, human beings first. It would be a lot more fun for us all to get along than that way of thinking.
Then when I was ready, Mr. Athos would use it here. So I was having a conversation and it was totally sunset, so everyone was going to stay in the Griffon’s nest. Mr. Athos was frightened, but eventually stayed.
As always, I fall asleep with the child Griffons. Gaius was with me that day. Gaius was reluctant, but he nodded when I asked him to “join me, okay”.
Now you can sleep surrounded by four child griffons and even Gaius. It was a very happy night that day.
The next day, Mr. Athos returned to the village.
Looking forward to going to the Beast Man’s Village.
– Girl and the Beast Man 3.
(Maybe the divine girl makes the beasts promise to go to the village of the beasts)
