Mya, Quone, can you leave this one with me - or rather, the Beast Alliance?"

?"

Mya and Quone tilt their heads back, unsure of the meaning of this offer.

The bear-breed beastman explains it plainly.

My parents are actually pretty high up inside the bear species beastman. The "Witch of the Giant Tower" wiped out the belligerents of the United Beastmen Nation a long time ago. Literally everyone who participated in that battle died."

............"

They were both parties to the battle between the Allied Beastmen Nations and the "Giant Tower.

Mya is divided as an adventurer, but Quone is still traumatized by that one incident.

To be honest, he had no sympathy for the beastmen, even though he felt that they had it coming to them.

Nevertheless, he is unable to show his emotions because his friend who is explaining the situation in front of him may have died, and he makes a complicated expression on his face.

The bear beastman did not mind and proceeded with his story.

After that one incident, the number of men available was reduced, so I and my friends who were adventurers in the dwarven dungeon town were called back. I used to hate just following the path my dad had set for me, and I left home out of rebelliousness. ...... Well, I'm getting older, and I've learned a lot from the world and my gold brothers, and my nostalgia for home, etc., and that's why I decided to come back. ......"

The bear beastman coughs lightly to cover up a slight digression, and then returns to the story.

Since then, the upper echelons of the United Beastmen Nation have been afraid of the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower. As long as there are memories of the "extermination," it is impossible for the United Beastmen Nation to be hostile to the "Giant Tower Witch. She has even reminded her compatriots who are scattered across the continent as adventurers not to do anything that might offend the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower. Even with regard to the Goddess Church's "Declaration of the Demon King of the Gigantic Tower Witch," the upper echelons completely misrepresented the situation and said they would not get involved in the matter. The more the company's employees were involved, the more they were able to make the most of their time and energy. Of course, this fact is known only to a very few. If the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" gets wind of this, there is a danger that the United States of Beastmen will cease to exist. I have absolutely no intention of getting involved with those guys."

The fact that he knows this fact means that his parents are that high up in the tribe.

His cronies, the younger crowd, do not know this fact.

I understand your story ....... I understand that the upper echelons of the Beastmen Confederacy have no intention of opposing the "Witch of the Giant Tower," but how does that lead to them hiding us?

Quone squints and pays attention to see through the other's mindset.

If what he says is true, then hiding Mya and the others would in itself be engaging with the Goddess cult.

A contradiction arises in the story.

When the bear-breed beastman points out the contradiction, he answers without particular haste.

The upper management has decided not to get involved with the Goddess cult, but it would be a different story if I could meet the two of you. We have heard about Miya and Kuone. Miya, the saint of the "Giant Tower Church," and Quone, the priestess of the "Giant Tower Church. Well, for my part, I couldn't believe at first that Miya, who was an adventurer in the dungeon town, was the saint of the "Giant Tower Church.

............"

This time, Miya makes a subtle expression when she hears his words and the fact that 'the story that she is a saint has spread even to the Beastmen Alliance countries.

Conversely, Quone smiled with delight at the fact that the fame of "Saint Mya" is spreading.

The reason he had always been on the down-low was probably because he was not dealing with Mya the adventurer, but with Mya the saint and Quone the priestess.

With these two in front of him, the bear-breed beastman proceeded to talk.

The bear beastman proceeded to talk to them. "I don't want to sound like a jerk, but if we protect the two of you, hide you, and let the 'Witch of the Giant Tower' know that you are safe, we will be in your debt. To be honest, it's not so much for the 'two of you' as it is a chance for the United Beast Nation to sell their debt to the 'Witch of the Giant Tower,' and they want to get the role of hiding the two of you and telling you that they are safe."

I see. ...... that makes sense."

Mya puts the lid on her shame and moves her head calmly.

It was more convincing than if he had said something like, "I can't overlook people in need.

The United Beastmen nation had once fought with the side of the "Giant Tower" and suffered a terrible defeat.

Therefore, they would not catch themselves in a lie or deception and sell it to the goddess religion or the heroes to incur the wrath of the "Giant Tower.

The bear species beastman nodded once and continued his story.

If you agree to this, I will ask the two of you to move to a more discreet inn and lay low. I will report to my superiors and ask them to protect the two of you as guests of the Allied Beast Nation. Rest assured that you will almost certainly not be rejected."

If not, he assured them that he would not hold them captive and that he himself would persuade his father to arrange, at the very least, provision money, escorts, and various passage documents.

After the acceptance, I would be happy to inform the "Witch of the Giant Tower" of the two's safety from the Beastmen Confederacy in the strictest of confidence. I know that you two are planning to head for the "City of Towers," but I am sure that the Goddess Church and her collaborators have a net set up in the "City of Towers. I think it would be easier for us beastmen to contact them than for a lesser race to approach them, how about it?"

"............"

He does not hide his thoughts, but reveals them all.

Still, Mya, Quone is careful not to make a quick decision.

He says, "Thank you very much. But it's difficult to make a quick decision, so could you let me discuss it with Quorn for a while?"

Of course. Then I'll be outside the room, so if you decide to talk, please call me. Of course, if you refuse, don't worry, we won't touch you. Rather, if you have any other requests, such as lodging or escort services, please let us know. If it's not too much trouble, we're prepared to drink."

Hearing Mya's wish that the two of them should discuss the matter once, the bear-breed beastman agreed with a smile.

The bear beastman did not bite back, but rather pulled back, and even told Mya that he would be prepared to drink her request even if she refused.

He did as he said and got up from his seat and went out of the private room.

Mya and Quone are left alone in the room.

-After about an hour, the two of them decided after some discussion that they would be taken care of by the Beastmen's Alliance. This was because, no matter how they thought about it, it was safer to ask the Beast Race to rescue them, as he suggested, than to go to "Giant Tower Town" by themselves.
