EPISODE.69
“What are you doing here at night?”
It was too late to say goodbye before leaving. Besides, it didn’t have to be now.
‘I was supposed to leave around noon tomorrow… … .’
Even if we had said hello in the morning, there wouldn’t have been any problems.
“just. I have a story I want to tell you… … .”
Muyaho, who was mumbling like that, suddenly got angry and shouted.
“Are you saying you can’t drink the alcohol this body gives you? c*ck?”
“That can’t be right.”
As Russell grinned, Mu Yaho lightly threw the gourd he was holding in his hand.
Slurp and clatter.
The gourd drawing a parabolic curve, the sound of the alcohol sloshing inside ringing lightly in my ears.
As soon as he took it, Muyaho took out another gourd.
Unlike the large gourd used at previous festivals, it was a small gourd about the size of a palm.
Pong-.
As I opened the bottle, a strong aroma began to fill the room.
Muyaho took a sip of his drink and began with a trivial story.
Things like what I was thinking while competing against Russell.
“If you think about it, it was pretty fun. “No matter how much it was just a warm-up, there wasn’t a single guy on this island who would spar with me to that level every morning.”
“I hope you’ll be considerate of people who faint from exhaustion every time they warm up.”
“It’s scary.”
As Russell muttered, Muyaho giggled and patted his back.
How long will it take to continue talking about this and that?
When Russell had emptied half of his share of alcohol, Muyaho opened his mouth.
“Actually, male. “The reason I asked to talk like this is because I have one favor to ask of you.”
“Please?”
With an uncharacteristically serious look on his face, Russell put down the gourd he was holding.
Muyaho nodded.
“okay. I’ve been thinking about it for a while… … .”
“… … ?”
What are you taking so long to say?
“Even if the beast people left the island, there was no country that would accept them.”
As I explained before, if this number of beastmen suddenly appeared and founded a country, there would not be a single country that would welcome them.
Unfortunately, the same was true for Russell’s own country, Endymion.
“So, male. “I want you to act as a bridge.”
“If it’s a bridge, what exact role are you talking about? If you’re asking me to take away Endymion’s territory, no matter how much I am… … .”
“Aang? Do you think this body would make such a shameless request? c*ck?”
Muyaho abruptly interrupted Russell’s words.
“I just want you to give us a small piece of land where we can live.”
Isn’t that what it is?
As soon as such a thought occurred to him, a thought quickly passed through Russell’s mind.
“No way, Muyaho… … ?”
“ah? huh. okay. That’s it. therefore… … , our beast people are male. “I’m saying I’m going to go to the country you’re in.”
Perhaps his thoughts were revealed in his expression, Mu Yaho muttered in response.
“They say there is something called territory in the world of humans, and they want there to be a territory where we beastmen can live. “It may be a little inconvenient and annoying, but I am prepared to bow to your king if necessary.”
Although he is said to be quite talkative and aggressive, the Muyaho that Russell saw had a very strong sense of pride in himself.
However, such a person is saying that it does not matter if he receives Endymion’s nobility, even if it is just a formality.
It wasn’t even worth considering how much worry and thought went into making this decision.
“Of course, we have no intention of going out of our way to do that for free.”
As he said that, Muyaho quenched his thirst with alcohol.
“We, the beastmen, are a race that knows grace well. What is it, a turf war? War? “If something like that happens, we can also lend a hand.”
No matter how you look at it, if Endymion can recruit the beastmen as troops in exchange for giving up the territory where they can live, it is a considerable amount of business for Endymion.
What’s more, the one who leads the beast people is the beast king, Muyaho.
‘The problem is not Endymion, but the beast people.’
That’s why I asked.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“huh? “What do you mean?”
“Isn’t Muyaho the king of the beast people? “It must not have been an easy decision for King Su to become a noble of another country.”
“Uh, um.”
In response to Russell’s question, Muyaho rolled his eyes back and forth with an ambiguous expression.
“I think I’ve explained it briefly before, but the position of Beast King is far from the kind of king that humans think of.”
“… … ?”
“In other words, rather than a king, should I think of him as the leader of a group of people?”
He seemed to think that his explanation was insufficient, so he added with a humble expression.
“Just because we come under the kingdom doesn’t mean we will no longer be the beast people… … .”
“If a king or monarch is the one who reigns and rules, then the position of Beast King represents the clan, or something like that?”
“Uh oh. It’s roughly similar. You’re right. “Are you smart?”

surely.
It is a quite different concept from what humans think of as a king or monarch. Rather, the structure is a little more similar to the leader of a pack of animals.
When I thought about it that way, it became easier to understand.
‘Because they are beast people.’
Now, the remaining question was why he was asking that of himself.
That’s right, Muyaho as well as the beast people are a coveted force in any country.
If I had made the same decision as I did now, there would be plenty of countries that would accept me, even if it wasn’t Endymion.
Muyaho answered that question.
“Well, that’s true, but… … The only humans who know us well are males. There’s no one else but you, right? So, it will be able to play a better role as a bridge. Well, there’s nothing I can do if it’s burdensome… … .”
“no.”
Russell shook his head.
Anyway, he was Endymion’s count and prospective sire.
I’ve never really wielded or used power, but it seemed like a suggestion would be enough.
“I can’t give a definite answer, but I’m saying I’ll try to talk about it.”
Muyaho muttered and rubbed his chin.
“yes. The answer to that will be relayed through merchants who come and go here… … “Then when will we be able to leave the island?”
“well? “Taking all things into consideration, wouldn’t it take a good 2 to 3 years?”
After muttering that, Muyaho sharply opened his three hundred eyes.
“Now that I think about it, male, if nothing special happens, it will be two or three years before I see you again.”
He then looked at Russell’s whole body and said.
“It’s not that long, but try hard. “At that time, I hope you can enjoy looking at lilies.”
It seems like he’s already looking forward to that time.
Russell could only laugh at the sight of Mu Yaho burning his fighting spirit.
* * *
Maybe it’s because over the past 40 days, I’ve made quite a few friends with the beasts of Fenrir.
Otherwise, it may be because he was the benefactor who found the ‘lunar stone’.
The number of beastmen who came out to see Russell off as he left was quite large.
Muyaho, whom I spoke with last night, was no exception.
“Take this. c*ck.”
The main gate of Fenrir was built with a wooden fence.
Muyaho handed something to Russell at the head of the prisoners who had gathered to fill the area.
“This… … ?”
What looked quite sharp was a necklace made from the fangs of an unknown beast.
When Russell handed it to him, Mu Yaho turned his lips upward.
He said, showing his empty canine teeth.
“Hey, I’m covered with my red teeth. “Huh.”
“yes… … ?”
“It’s something made with my fangs.”
When I lowered my curled lips, my voice returned to normal.
“Well, it’s not like you have any special powers, but if you have it, the other beastmen won’t argue with you while you’re back. Other than that, you can think of taking a special souvenir with you.”
Russell asked, thanking you for your consideration, but remembering the place where Muyaho’s fangs were somehow empty.
“Is it okay to just pull out my teeth like this?”
Muyaho shrugged his shoulders.
“What do you think? “Just wait a little while and it will fly again.”
Unlike humans, who never grow teeth again once their permanent teeth fall out, the beastmen’s teeth seem to grow back again and again even if they are extracted.
‘If that’s the case, I’m glad.’
After seeing that Russell was wearing the necklace, Muyaho tapped Russell on the shoulder with his fist.
“Then, bye. c*ck. “Don’t forget what you said to me.”
“I too will be waiting for the day when I can see Muyaho and the beast people again.”
Leaving behind the waving greetings of the beastmen, Russell quickly traveled through the jungle of Kuril Island.
Pabababat-!
The speed is incomparably faster than when you first go inside.
It has to be that way.
At first, I deliberately entered into battle with various beastmen tribes to make my name known.
Also, maybe it was because of the tooth necklace that Muyaho gave me. There were no beasts in particular coming to fight.
Pabat-!
Russell, who escaped the jungle in an instant, was able to easily get on a merchant ship heading out of the island.
Some more time has passed since then…
Wooooow.
As he exited the Flame Tower’s warp gate, Russell adjusted the collar of his robe.
I could feel a slightly chilly wind blowing through the open window.
‘Well, is it worth it?’
The two months I spent on the Kuril Islands, plus the time it took to come and go, was about four months.
‘It’s time to skip an entire season.’
I didn’t realize it when I was on the warm southern island, but when I returned to the capital, I could feel that winter was fast approaching.
Thinking that he had been away from the royal capital for quite some time, Russell walked toward the top of the magic tower, toward the tower’s main room.
From the time he used the first warp gate at the kingdom’s border, his return would have been reported.
Nevertheless, it was polite to show respect to one’s teacher by greeting him face to face.
Ugh, ding-.
As I arrived at the top floor on the floating seat, the door to the main room opened as if I had been waiting.
Rattling-.
At the same time, the scent of black tea along with the unique sweet smell of Daria’s office comes out.
‘Looks like you’re enjoying tea time again…’ … .’
Russell, who was about to step into the office without thinking, stopped.
“… … You came. “My dear.”
This was because I encountered someone completely unexpected in Daria’s office.
A woman with intelligent purple eyes and long hair of the same color, dressed more like a knight than a princess.
Endymion’s first heir to the throne and his fiancée.
Hecate Latmos was staring at him with an impassive expression.
Next, Daria’s voice was heard along with a friendly laugh.
“The heartless youngest guy who didn’t give me a single message after going out has finally come back.”
The voice is very playful, as if the current situation is so fun that it doesn’t know what to do.
The word ‘heartless’ was stuck in my heart.
‘Ugh.’
