Outbreak of War
The difference between monsters and beasts is the presence or absence of a magic stone
Monsters have magic stones inside them.
This means that, unlike animals, they can do magic as if they were breathing.
This means absolute power.
In other words, it is proof that we are born to be rulers, plunderers, and exploiters.
We wyverns also possess magic stones
The ones who reign as the absolute strong. That is who we are.
"Chief!"
An unbelievable story is transmitted.
"You're too loud, Ormon."
"How can I not get upset when I hear a story like that!"
Nibel, which was sealed long ago, is beyond our control
It is said to have been defeated by the humans.
Beings weaker than us have done what we couldn't do.
That alone is humiliating.
"What do you think you're doing, making peace with the humans!"
"Humans have become worthy of living with us. Isn't that all..."
"That's all! Do you know how many of us were killed by humans!"
"We have killed a lot of humans ourselves, and we're trying to stop it."
"Don't joke around! Are you telling me to protect those who can't fly but crawl on the ground!"
"Shut up, Ormon! Then you should have stopped Nibel!"
We are wyverns.
Stronger than any creature, we fly with pride.
The chief intends to make a small existence stand next to us.
"…Are you not convinced Ormon?"
"Of course!"
"Then go..."
"...Go, where?"
"To where the humans live. And shout for a duel with [Shiro]."
------------------------------
-The 12th year of imperial reign-
Holding a bow made from a slightly misshapen branch of a tree.
Holding an arrow made of a twisted branch
Pulling the string made of fresh ivy
Then aim and release the arrow
It flew a little oddly, but it struck its target and killed it.
"Alright!"
Fresh rabbit for dinner tonight.
"Gallus… didn't sensei say that rabbits are low in nutrients?"
"It can't be helped! There's nothing but rabbits around here!"
My brother, Merell, had built a fire and was waiting for me.
"Rather than that, where is Wince-sensei and Miriu?"
"They went to the river to wash the wild plants."
"They're already back, though!"
Miriu brought a lot of wet wild plants
"It's white powder grass! I like that one."
"That's good."
White powder grass is a little mysterious wild grass
It's a black grass, always wet, even in dry land.
When dug up and dried in the sun, it becomes incredibly hard.
And when it does, it sprays out a lot of white powder on the surface.
It's very tasty.
It's not sweet or spicy, but it's kind of addictive.
And even if you don't dry them, they are very tasty when boiled.
Four years have passed since I started to learn various things from sensei
And once a month, we camp out in the middle of nowhere like this.
All you can bring is portable soup, pemmican, and a fire starter.
"Yes, yes, I've brought these too."
Wince sensei brings a net
I immediately recognized the contents by smell. It was fish.
"Sensei, Gallus has caught another rabbit."
"Wha...! It can't be helped!"
"Well, it can't be helped. There are only rabbits around here."
How's that? I was right, Merell!
"But then you should have decided that fishing instead of hunting was the right thing to do, Gallus."
"I'm sorry! But I prefer this to fish meat!"
"Make sure you eat them all, okay?"
"Yes!"
Sensei puts down the net, claps her hands and takes command.
"Gallus, you handle the rabbit. I'll do the fish. Miriu, you cook the wild plants. Merell, you will grill them."
"""Yes!"""
Soon the sun will be setting, and we will cook and eat in the meadow.
When we had finished eating and cleaning up, all that's left was to go to sleep
"Hmm? Hey, Merell."
"What?"
A shadow is cast on the moon floating in the sky
"Something is flying? …Sensei!"
"It's not a bird. A wyvern?"
The shadow gets bigger and bigger.
It is approaching us.
A flap of the wyvern's wings, or a gust of wind.
The tools we had just put away are blown away.
Even our campfire was extinguished by the wind.
We've never seen a wyvern before.
The three of us were worried.
But sensei stands between us and the wyvern, weapons at the ready.
Neither of them move, and they continue to stare at each other.
"………Sensei?"
"All three of you. Do you know there's a village nearby?"
"Y-yeah."
"Then go there and tell the soldiers to go get Sedona immediately."
"…What about sensei?"
"I'll be here to do some staring contest. Now go..."
I know it sounds pathetic, but there was nothing we could do.
That's why we are going to call Sedona-sensei as we were told.
As soon as possible
