Chapter 1973: Neo Baby Castella Blend 24
In front of Amel-san's house, there's a large window that allows us to see the village of the Wingeds. Since Amel-san's house is situated at the highest point in the village, we can get a panoramic view of the entire area.ehow, this is different from what I imagined. There are more things here than I expected. There are quite a few shops within the village too.]
[I get how you feel, my sworn friend. It's true that the Wingeds is a closed-off species and is often seen as living contrary to the progress of civilization. However, being closed-off doesn't mean we exclude everything around us. We integrate useful technologies like magic tools into our lives. While most Wingeds generally lead lives that are self-contained within the village, some engage in trade and procure goods from outside.]
I see. So, while they’re not eager to interact with other races, they do occasionally acquire things from outside when necessary...... Come to think of it, even though their attendance in Archlesia Empire's Founding Festival is more of a formality, they do set up small stalls every year selling accessories. It seems that, just like how Lilia-san does things, they also engage in transactions that require connections.
[Well, the Wingeds' village is located on a high mountain, so we need to source some ingredients like seawater fish from outside. Personally, I think they should engage more with the outside world but...... dealing with the weight of centuries can be troublesome. Time can become a chain that binds thoughts. Breaking that chain requires time......]
[It’s tough to suddenly tell people who haven’t interacted much with other species for years to start doing so more. As you said, taking your time might be the best approach.]
[Yeah, but by actively engaging with the outside world, I believe the Wingeds' awareness would gradually change. Though transformation takes time, there are signs of progress.]
Amel-san seems to be genuinely working hard to change the Wingeds' way of life. Her participation in events like the Harmonic Symphony's afterparty is probably part of her effort to gradually shift the tribe's awareness by showing herself as an active leader interacting with other races.
[Sometimes Gods with temples in Archlesia Empire, like God of Fertility, will attend, but generally, it's one of the Gods serving God of Life-sama. It's usually decided by the divine beings themselves, our side doesn't designate anyone from our side...... Ahh, but God of Ocean Marine-sama graciously participates in the ceremonies quite frequently.]
[Marine-san? ......Ahh, one more question: How do the Wingeds view Eingana-san?]
[The Sea Dragon seated in the Great Oceans? Isn't she an Executive of the Earth-Shaking Dragon King...... Is there anything else about her in particular?]
......I see, so that's why Marine-san participates so frequently in the ceremonies. It seems that the Wingeds don't regard Eingana-san as the God of Sea unlike the other Humans and clearly worship the God of Ocean Marine-san as the God of Sea.
For Marine-san, who is quite concerned about people's recognition of her, it’s likely that she favors this tribe that clearly sees her as superior to Eingana-san in matters related to the sea.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [Ahh~~ I see, that makes a lot of sense.]
? ? ? : [The Wingeds praise Marine-san as the God of Sea and worship her sincerely, so Marine-san is happy to be treated with such affection and unless she has other plans scheduled, she attends the winged tribe's ceremonies as much as possible.]
