"What the hell... why are you doing this stupid thing..."

Late managed to squeeze out the words while suffering as if her whole body was boiling.

Kamur-Josh strokes his elongated lower jaw as he slightly raises one knee.

"I wonder if you want to replenish the man you lost in the Mhuru raid.In that case, it would be a son-in-law, not a bride, but it would be difficult to tell in the eastern language. "

That's how Camuer-Josh looked into Late's face.

"Rather, I'm worried about Late.I think you're feeling worse than before you eat. "

"It's kind of... strange... when I look at these women..."

Unconsciously, Rat was caught in his stomach.The pulsation in that part was enough to transmit the spine and resonate with the cerebral medulla.

Kamur-Josh glanced at the state of such a latte and looked as if he had swallowed something bitter.

"I don't think so, but did you mix something strange with the medicine tea just now?... oh, I didn't understand the western language.

............

"Oh," Camuer-Josh twisted his mouth.

It is an expression of discomfort that Camuer-Josh seldom shows.

"Hmm... what's wrong, Camur...?

"Apparently, the tea was stocked with aphrodisiacs.It seems to have been a precaution to prevent the temptation of the daughters. "

Aphrodisiac - It took Late a long time for the words to fall into his heart.

Camuer-Josh looks at the naked women equally, hiding their purple eyes in half their eyelids.

"I was impressed by the kindness of people, but I feel like I've been scratched.After all, the people of the east are hard to grasp, so it's troublesome. "

"Then... why is the camouflage flat...?

"Yeah? Yeah, I'm not drinking that tea.It was a flavor that I couldn't like, so I sneaked up on this collar. "

Late relaxed and pushed herself down.

"Are you okay?" Camuer-Josh puts his hand on Late's shoulder.

At that moment, an unspeakable sensation ran all over Rat's body.

"Please... don't touch me... I'm really out of my mind..."

"... it's never acceptable to give an aphrodisiac to a child like this."

Kamur-Josh smiled in his usual mood as Late raised his face.

However, those purple eyes are floating with light that I've never seen before.

Camuer-Josh pretended to stroke Rath's head and then stood up with his dagger.

Naked daughters are all the more backwards.

His face was as faceless as the people of the east, but there was a clear light of fear in every eye.

In addition, Kamur-Josh looked back at the elderly woman and struck at her long words.

The elderly woman is dazzling with her eyes, while gently sweating on her forehead.

When Kamur-Josh repeated his words, the elderly woman breathed heavily in her attitude.

When the mouth tells something, the daughters slowly begin to wear clothes.Then one of them disappeared behind the book and carried a small earthen jar.

........

After a short exchange, Camuer-Josh received an earthen jar and poured its contents into a new cup.It is a cool aromatic herbal tea with a turbid blue color.

"Late, drink this.It's a poison tea. "

Late took it at his trembling fingertips and drank it to his breath.

I don't know anything about the taste.However, from the mouth to the throat, from the throat to the stomach, the cold air that was thrown into the snow mass ran around.For a burning body, it is pleasant enough.

"Are you okay? Have you settled down a little?

"Yes... maybe..."

"You've had a terrible time.I almost couldn't face Milan-Mouth. "

Kamur-Josh, who talked like that, had a kind look again.

As he stares at his eyes, Rate goes to sleep violently.As the body's heat cooled, there was a sense of falling into the abyss.

"Go to sleep.I'm sure she'll be perfectly fine in the morning. "

At the end of Camoua-Josh's words, Late's consciousness was foggy and cut off.

◇

And it's morning.

When Late opened her eyelids, there was a smile on her head.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?

"... rather than sleep, it feels like I've fainted."

The voice of Late, who answered like that, was badly blurred.

My throat tingles and my eyeballs are dry.It felt like something had been smothered with smoke and dried up.

"Ah, I wonder if the poison tea has sucked my body's moisture.You should drink this. "

Camuer-Josh's powerful arm woke up Late's body.

Camuer-Josh sat against the wall, and Rath slept with his head on his lap.Kamur-Josh wore a blanket of fur over his shoulders, and the same thing was hanging on the latte.

The cup from Kamur-Josh is filled with clear water.Speaking of it, Late's body quickly regained its vitality.

"Um... this is last night's house, right?What the hell happened after that?

"I'm going to talk to the elders of this settlement.That's why I decided to reveal the night here, but I just couldn't feel like lying there. "

Camuer-Josh was holding his favorite dagger inside the blanket.So you took a nap while watching your surroundings.

There are no other human beings inside.The fire was already lit in the enclosure, and a white morning sun was inserted through the narrowly opened window.

"I had a hard time last night.I can't imagine that the aphrodisiac was in that tea.If I had been more attentive, Rate wouldn't have suffered.... I'm really sorry. "

"No, I'm sure Camus could tell from his previous experience that the taste of the herbal tea was dangerous.I want to gain experience as a Guardian so that I can sense the danger. "

"No, no, I really didn't like the taste, so I just sneaked around.If I knew it was dangerous, I wouldn't let Miso Rate drink it. "

Camuer-Josh's eyes were about to become gentle again, so Late decided to switch the subject.

"Anyway, I don't trust the people in this settlement.I'm all right now, let's get out of here. "

"No, before that, I had to get rid of one mess."

"Trouble?

"Yeah, we have to get rid of the giant bear that's threatening this settlement."

Late became amazed from the bottom of his heart.

"What is it?What the hell is going on here?

"No, I told you this settlement was attacked by a giant bear in Mhuru.The bear is still sitting near the settlement, eating and killing people trying to get in and out.... it was so much snow last night that we got to the settlement without being attacked. "

"That's why... you don't think we're going to get rid of Mufu, do you?

"Yes, but I don't think there are any other men in this settlement anymore.It seems that not only the men of this house, but all the men of the settlement have returned their souls or taken deep responsibility. "

Is that possible?

Camuer-Josh, who seemed to have read Late's expression, smiled as usual.

"Originally, there were only a hundred people living in this settlement.I suppose you said there were about thirty men.Still, it was a family that only hunted Randall and Gamma, so I couldn't stand being attacked by Mhuru.There was a rumor in Mahidora that a small settlement had been wiped out by only one muffle.Mufu, driven by anger, is such a terrible thing. "

"Anger... why was that muffle so angry?In the first place, is this settlement situated outside the territory of Mhuru?

"Yes, it seems that the people in this settlement have taken home the muffled child who has left the territory.Muhul, the mother who chased after the smell, attacked the settlement for revenge. "

"If so, don't you deserve it?"

Camuer-Josh looked into Late's face with a bitter smile.

"It is certainly the hunter who took down the child Muhul.But aren't you guilty of the women living in the settlement, the little ones and the old ones?It seems that these small settlements dot the tree sea, but because of Mhuru, we can't go back and forth with you, and we can't do the hunting work in the forest.As it stands, all the people of the settlement will starve to death. "

"... is that the right reason to give travellers aphrodisiacs?

"Because when people get stuck, they run into stupid behavior.They just wanted a man to defeat Muffle.That's why I tried to offer you four daughters, so it's quite a fancy story. "

........

"No, of course I didn't forgive them.Either way, if we don't get rid of that muffle, we'll never get out of this settlement.If there's so much snow, Totos can't even run properly. "

Late was going to spill a heartfelt sigh.

"But how can we alone take down a giant bear that can bring back 30 hunters?

"Well, I lived as a northern people until I was 15.I think I have more knowledge of muffle hunting than the people in this settlement. "

That said, Camuer-Josh smiled a little.

"I've taken over 30 hunters, so the muffle must have suffered some serious injuries.That's why, after that night, we've only attacked people trying to get in and out without attacking the settlement.There is some adage that nothing scares me as much as a handicapped beast, but I guess it's a little easier than taking on a five-body satisfaction muffle. "

........

"Don't worry, we should be able to settle this by today.Late is in this house, just wait and see. "

"What are you saying?Did you intend to leave me in a human home where travelers can take aphrodisiacs?

Looking at Late, Camuer-Josh rounded his eyes in a neat manner.

"No, because you're dealing with a giant bear in Mhuru.I can't take Late to such a dangerous place..... "

"I am a disciple of Camur.You can't just send a teacher to a dangerous place. "

"No, no, this isn't a Guardian, it's a hunter's job...."

"Is it also part of the power of Camus?I want to learn everything from Camur. "

Camuer-Josh put his hand on Late's head with a bitter smile.

"Rats are so stubborn.I wonder if that part resembles Milan-Mouth.... okay.But do as I tell you in the hunting grounds.If you can't keep this promise, I'll end the relationship with my mentor. "
