865 Eleventh Day of the Silver Moon ⑤ - Tears of the Great God

The meteoroids running through the sky were to disappear at roughly four and a half minutes.

It's probably not possible in my hometown, such as the concentration of such intense meteors in such a short time. Whatever it was, the meteors that disturbed our minds were supposed to disappear suddenly.

When we turned back to the cave square, the people of the sanctuary also returned in cursory footsteps. It is the way everyone is still flying their souls in front of a sight like no other in this world. The faceless Valves and Madaramas felt the same way.

After all the participants sat on the rug and too long had passed for a breath, the partitioner Raal spoke in a solemn voice.

"The Great God showed us His will. There's no need to overlap words on this."

No one answers. The tranquility fueled my anxiety.

"I'm going to ask Tia to give me my soul back on this occasion. Now, is there anyone you disagree with?

"Hey...... wait a minute! How come, all of a sudden, we're talking about that!?

When I couldn't help but raise my voice, Raal looked at me like he'd woken up from a dream: "Oh."

"Right. Guests will need explanations. The light of the stars poured out of heaven - it was the tears of the Great God."

"Yes. I heard you guys were calling me that..."

"The Great God is mourning and grieving. After all, Tia returns her soul and redeems her sins."

"So, how does that happen? The Great God's mourning and Tia's sin, it doesn't matter, does it?

"It can't be irrelevant. Then why was the Great God's tear shed this night? The Great God mourns and mourns that Tia the Son has committed so many sins."

The same attitude that had eaten those who had gone before was a hiccup, and Raal was even solemn in his face.

"Otherwise, there is no reason for the Great God's tears to flow this night. The Guests followed the usual manoeuvres, so it would not be a reason for the Great God to mourn... and if there was a wrong part of our manoeuvres, it would reveal anger rather than mourn"

"Yes, but..."

"Tia, of course, is a compatriot to us. Tia herself regrets her sins, so she doesn't suffer from grudges. Behead with the sword of Belze, and give your soul back to the Great God, then bury generously in the mountains of Morga"

I was in the extreme of confusion, trying to rise unconsciously.

But on the way, they grab my arm. It wasn't Ai-Fa who grabbed my arm, it was Schmiral-Lilyn who was sitting on the other side.

"Please wait. In the meteors, in the sanctuary, the great gods mourn, are they?

"Sure. The eyes of the Great God blink in the sky, and their tears also flow as stars. Even if the Great God is in his sleep, there is no turning into that fact"

"I see. The kingdom of the east, hey, meteors, vicious signs, was being made. The people of the east, they read, they're good at, they're good at."

Schmiral-Lilyn was only smiling, but had a very calm look.

And then he looks at me with that soft eye, and then he turns to Raal again.

"Yet, star reading moves, remnants of witchcraft, they say. This continent, the magic, the times when it was ruled, the moves of star reading, must have been created. The people of the kingdom, abandoned the magic, built a new civilization, but the land of the east, the art of star reading, was inherited."

"... that's what it is?

"Meteors, vicious signs, right, I think. However, identification and importance. The meaning of the stars must never be misunderstood."

Staring straight at Raal's appearance, Schmiral-Lilyn overlaid the words.

"Great God, why, tears, spills? Tia, is it because you committed a major crime, a crime?... Me, no, I think"

"Hmm. So you're saying that the Guests did something that made the Great God mourn?

"No. This is the most important night, Tia. Cause, it must be tier."

"I don't know. You're too speechless, my guest Schmiral-Lilyn."

"I'm sorry. I just want you to remember. Great God, when, tears, spilled?

Raal frowned at Ulange.

The other red people have roughly the same expression.

Towards all those people, Schmiral-Lilyn quietly spinned his words.

"You, Tia, soul, should return, claimed. Ruja, I argued, but you, I didn't hear you. Tia, keep making mistakes, sanctuary people, unworthy human beings, disconnected. And Luja, the words, when I lost them -- the Great God, the tears, the spills."

"... that means..."

"Yes. Tia, to not be forgiven, the Great God, didn't you mourn and grieve? I think so."

"... this is our guest, Schmiral-Lilyn. I think that's too convenient a word."

Raal smiled invincibly at the crackle.

And those eyes are lit with a brighter glow than ever before. Some of the other red people had the same eye.

"And it is extremely unpleasant to see the will of the Great God shaken out by you, the human being of the outside world. Ask the Guest to show courtesy as a Guest"

"I would like to differ in your words."

and - not Schmiral-Lilyn, Gemd argued that way.

"The people of the east are the best at reading stars in this world. Schmiral-Lilin will no longer be a people of the east, but a people by the woods, but the words will be worthy of a single hearing."

"But whether it's the people of the east or the people of the woods, it's no different to being a person in the outside world. Can't we put the will of the Great God on a man who has forsaken the Great God?"

"No. We did not abandon the Great God. What I threw away is only faith in the Great God. Instead of the great gods who fell asleep, we only came to worship new gods."

"So, though that would be a testament to the abandonment of the Great God? There is no god but the Great God in this world."

"Is it? The great gods used to have offering gods."

In a deeply smudging baritone voice, Gemd said so.

"If God was the only one, there is no reason to call him the Great God. It is self-evident reason that God is a great being, so there is no need to adorn the Word that way. Therefore, the Great God is called the Great God. That is what testifies to the existence of a God who is not great. … the inheritance of the Great God and his offering of the Fourteenth God is left in the literature of many times."

Raal was stunned, glaring at his little body.

The other Chiefs are losing color and looking at each other. However, all the men of the offering seemed to have a lot of face.

"How... how do you, the man of the outside world, know that holy number? There are fourteen offerings in the Great God, which… should be a secret word, spoken only to the chief of the Red People"

"That's because we're renting as well. As I told you earlier, we were once compatriots living under the same great god. And because we have a civilization of reading and writing, not just words, we have been able to retain a lot of knowledge for generations to come."

…………

"In the literature of the Torah, the heirloom of the Fourteenth God was also spelled out. Half of them are still worshipped as gods in the outside world."

"Fourteen offering gods... are worshipped in the outside world?

"No. That's only half of it. Seven gods have been worshipped as little gods, and the other seven have been disparaged by evil gods. The Seven Evil Gods were your little gods in the Seven Sanctuaries."

"It's a lie!" And there was a man who twirled from another place.

It was sitting on the left edge of the square, one of the chiefs of the Valve hunt.

"We are forbidden to worship the Little God until the day the Great God wakes up! The name of that contraindication cannot have been passed on to the outside world!

"Shall I then be allowed to speak the name of that contradiction? If you will forgive me, I would like to testify by speaking that name."

The people of the Red People turned, as they were struck by some tremendous agitation.

In it, Raal stands up completely.

"We cannot let the chiefs hear the names of the contraindications. I want to hear what our guest Gemd has to say."

With that said, Raal approached us once and for all.

As Gemd kneels down from the rocky steps, Raal looks over at you.

"Speak with a whisper. If you were lying, you'd be punished accordingly."

There was a few meters from me, but I could still barely hear the conversation between the two.

"I understand," Gemd whispers beautifully.

"… However, I would like to give you some names, as it is not better to speculate which of the Seven Evil Gods is the God of the Red People"

"Hmm. If that name reaches more than seven, I'll let you know it's a lie."

"Until seven, I don't even think I need to give it to you.... Isn't the name of the Little God passed down to the Red People, the harmonious god Dubbaha, or the drug god Musiku?

Raal cursed.

Gemd nods one thing and wakes himself up and sits on the steps behind him.

"Whether those two gods were the small gods of each of the red and yellow sanctuaries present in the western lands, Master Fermes had made an inference. I hope you're satisfied."

Raal remains silent and returns to his original place. People were so obsessed with the sense of urgency that they perceived from their little bodies.

Eventually Raal, sitting instead of the white snake, said, "Why?" He asked in a bottom-line voice.

"More than that, how could our God have been considered evil? Do men in the outside world see the people of the sanctuary as evil?

"It's not. People in the outside world are also bound by strong codes. It's a code that forbids witchcraft. We needed to eliminate the demons in order to build a new civilization."

…………

"Just as we could not be friends and compatriots with the people of the sanctuary, we were also not allowed to worship the Little God of the sanctuary. Therefore, it was decided that it was an evil God and that it was to be kept away. And - when the Great God awakens from a long sleep, the Seven Evil Gods are purified, and the Fourteen Little Gods illuminate the world again, and so it is told."

"If...... then again, aren't you guys turning down our God as evil beings!

"No. It's only about the Little God. The Great God, as the father of the four great gods we worship, is still revered."

That said, Gemd spread his arms loosely.

"A great god is this continent itself, this world itself. We named it Ameshorn. Ameshorn, the Great God, is also the Father of all in the outside world. Never be denigrated by evil gods or anything else."

…………

"Therefore, we have no desire to take the Great God lightly. And yet, the people of the east are - a clan that could not overthrow all sorcery while becoming a people of the kingdom. Of course, it's harder to exercise witchcraft than the Great God is falling asleep, but they passed on to future generations a technique that doesn't require magic. One of them is the art of star reading."

…………

"Are the people of the sanctuary also a clan that sealed magic? Since the Great God has fallen asleep and more than 600 years have already passed, there should be considerable magic resurrected on this earth. But until the depleted magic is fully resurrected - that is, until the Great God is fully awake, you have sworn that you will not use magic and sealed the move. So, when it comes to star reading, does the people of the east leave more power to read correctly than the people of the sanctuary?

Speaking that way, Gemd offered his arm over Schmiral-Lilyn.

"With the above arguments, I support the opinion of Schmiral-Lilyn. He is not taking the presence of the Great God lightly, and you wish to read that will correctly. The magnitude of the thought makes no difference between the sanctuary and the outside world."

The chiefs of the Red People were no longer exchanging words with their brethren, revealing their confusion.

It is as if Valb and Madarama are also joining that argument by leaning themselves against their respective friend-red people.

It was once again Ruja's high laughter that crushed the blurring.

"That was a really interesting story! In the outside world, that's how the Great God and the sanctuary were told! This was totally out of my imagination!

"It's you again. Keep your mouth shut, Lazma's eldest brother."

"Even if you keep your mouth shut, the meeting is over. Or would it be a meeting to bump words? We should talk a lot to get down the right path."

Laughing invincibly, Ruja said so.

"The Great God is mourning something. The only thing we can break is that. Whether you are mourning the sinfulness of Tia or the fact that Tia is being treated as a sinner, the Great God did not tell you that much. Then we will twist our heads ourselves and do all we can to stop the Great God from moaning."

"Uhm! From now on, I'll be good at what you say, with Ruja from Razma's house!

And Dan-Rutim, who had been quiet all along, raised his voice all the way here.

"We are watched over by the Great Being! Yes, that's why we have to do everything we can! You'll never be right to disrupt the tears of the Great God and stop doing all you can!

"But what more can I tell you? Tia's deeds and thoughts are all boring."

"But just you and Ruja, we already have a split opinion! Whatever treatment you give Tia, one of you is disgusted! Then let's not say we found the right way!

That's how Dan-Rutim laughed, gahaha. It is more pressure than usual, echoing the cave hall.

"By and large, I've finally been able to open my mouth to this step, haven't I? I've called in as many as ten people and haven't spoken a word yet about half of them! Now I don't even know what I called you for!

"... I said I would allow up to ten people to accompany you, but it would be on your own that I have pushed you with such numbers? We're the ones who can't figure out why as many as ten people have come."

"That would be because it was necessary! Come on, you guys don't hesitate, talk about what you need to talk about!

"Then let me tell you something from me," he gave his name to was Bardou-Fou.

"It will be our Fou bloodline that brought Tia back to the woodside. Lew is the chieftaincy and Fa will be the house where Tia was kept, but we should be responsible in the first place"

"I wonder what responsibility is about"

"That's the responsibility, of course, for bringing Tia back to the woodland settlement"

The long-sleeved Birdu-Fow said so, with his spine upright.

"Since just now Raal had disputed Tia's deeds. But it was us who gave Tia that situation. If we hadn't brought Tia home, Asta wouldn't have been hurt. Also, we're the ones where Tia hurt Asta, so there's a double sense of responsibility."

"Tia hurt Asta of her own free will, so it becomes Tia's own sin. Just because you couldn't prevent it, I don't think you'd be guilty of a guest, Berdu-Fou"

"But we're the ones who brought Tia back to the woodland settlement."

Birdu-Fow insisted that way.

"What the hell would have happened if we hadn't brought Tia back to the settlement by the woods... Tia was deep in the woods, grabbing the arm of a beast named Payfay, caught by the river. If Gibba or Mundt hadn't attacked me, I would have woken up alone on that spot. And I should have realized I had gone out into the outside world and rushed back to the mountains"

…………

"But Tia, she was breaking her leg. I would have returned my soul there if I had come across a madalama or something even back in the mountains. But if you were lucky enough to run into a fellow hunter, how'd it go? Was it truncated by the sin of trampling the outside world?

"... Well, I don't know"

"If we were in the opposite position, we would never imitate that. Even if a bypassing hunter has strayed into the mountains of Morga, he shouldn't take it to life unless he has caused a mourning with the three beasts of the mountain or vandalized the grace of the mountain. I would have reported to the monarch Marquis Genos and waited for a decision on what punishment to be given."

That being said, Birdu-Fow flied his gaze over Raylis.

"I would like to ask Raelis, deputy to the Marquis of Genos. If so, will the contraindicated hunter be deprived of his life?

"No... I can't say for sure, but it won't even be a capital offense. With strict care, I think we're going to take action to make sure that doesn't happen again."

"What would it be like to deal with?

"Right. Will it take the form of clear landmarks on the border between the woods and the mountains, or shrinking the hunting grounds of the people by the woods and keeping them away from the border with the mountains..."

"Mm-hmm. That's a convincing story. In the first place, there is no such thing as a clear border between Morga forests and mountains. If such a thing exists, either we or the Writers would be contraindicated. We used to exchange words in the same place before the mountaineering ceremony."

Birdu-Fou nodded one thing and turned his gaze back towards Raal.

"Tia went out into the outside world, but it wasn't by her own will, nor did it pollute the outside world. If I had gone straight back to the mountains, I don't think I would have been guilty of a great sin. Even if one leg was broken, wouldn't everyone have been happy with Tia's return if she had made it home on her own?

"Writa endorses the words of her guest Berdu-Fow"

and - that's how Writa spoke as she half-whipped.

And then immediately, to the hammer of the flesh, he bows his head with a pepper.

"I want you to allow Ryta, who is nothing more than a chief's offering, to speak up. But it seems to me that Guest Birdu-Fow is right in his words. If Tia had come home on her own, I'm sure she wouldn't have been guilty. I think it would have been decided that it was the will of the Great God not to come across Madarama or Rionne on the way there"

"Again, yeah," Birdu-Fow shook his head.

"Then I can't help but feel responsible. Because we brought Tia back, Tia was guilty of hurting Asta. If Tia is going to give her soul back on this occasion, she thinks it's us Fowe people who brought her vicious luck."

Raal was thinking with a difficult face.

Birdu-Fow goes on to lay down more words.

"Still, we don't think we were wrong. If I had left Tia alone, I could have been attacked by Gibba or Mundt, or if I had returned to the mountains alone, I could have been attacked by Madarama. Even the red wildlings of Morga could not behold Tia, who looked like the same human being. … I don't think that's a mistake."

"That's a natural story! I think I was taking Tia home, too!

Dan-Lutim, who raised his voice as such, woke himself up again.

"Isn't that the same thing as the people of the sanctuary? We're not taking them back to their homes. If there's goodwill, we can't leave the wounded alone! At least you should be!

Dan-Rutim's fingertips are pointed toward the numb lighter.

No - that wasn't Lyta, it seemed to be directed at the white wolf who was right next to it.

"Are you, then, the Valve? When Dim-Rutim and I were having a hard time, you were watching me like I was worried!

Many people compared Dan-Rutim to the white wolf with a bewildered face.

In it, Lyta speaks to the White Wolf.

"You once said that" White "had run into a giva hunter. Was that the guest Dan-Rutim?

…………

"... apparently, definitely"

To Ryta's words, Dan-Rutim made a mockery.

"You guys really need to exchange words with Valve! Then I want you to hear one thing! I ran into a white valve about twenty years ago! Was that also the Valve there? Or was it his parents or something?

"Twenty years ago," White "shouldn't have been born. Oh, yeah. White, right?

…………

"Again, he says yes. But... White's parents are also running into the hunter of the Giva hunt."

"So what saved me was his parents! Your eyes and signs looked just like yours, so I thought they would!

Dan-Rutim was already smiling delightfully and irresistibly.

And - in all its indulgence, the tears are glowing.

"If your parents hadn't saved me, I would have returned my soul on that occasion! Your parents carried me up to the tree, hurting me, and stayed with me all night!

"Along with Valve, you mean you revealed the night? But it..."

"Uhm! I wonder if that was a fulfillment, a forest, or a mountain! I accidentally stepped to the edge of the woods and mountains, but then Valve carried me over the trees!

Dan-Rutim looked around at the people of the sanctuary as he distracted himself from the torso like a Via barrel.

"If that was a mountain, then I would have broken the contraindication, and if that was a forest, then Valve would have broken the contraindication! Are we to be held guilty?

"No, twenty years ago... in the first place, the parents of White have already returned their souls"

"No matter how much time passes, it doesn't change the weight of sin! Instead, I'm asking if that's a guilty story!

With a full smile on his face, Dan-Rutim said so.

"Trying to help someone in need would be the right thing to do for everyone? So I don't think Birdu-Fow is wrong or anything! Isn't it a bit of a mistake that Tia hurt Asta after that! Tia was not only breaking her leg, she was hitting her head and bleeding, so she would also be misjudged! I don't think that would be a big sin at all!

"But... it doesn't make any difference that Tia has sinned"

Neither was our Dan-Rutim frightened by Raal's obstinate words.

"How did that sin come about? Tia would have mistaken Asta for breaking contraindications and stepping into the mountains?... No, you were talking about not only Asta on the spot, but Fou's bloodline was abundant! Tia would have lost me in fierce anger because she weighed heavily on the code of the sanctuary! As a people of the sanctuary, aren't you the heart that looked up!

"That's right. In retrospect, Tia was doing everything in her power to live righteously as a people in the sanctuary. I want you to look at that."

Birdu-Fow was also to be accompanied by words as such.

Tia herself is silent before the people of the sanctuary, who also begin to groan. It's hard for us to know what Tia's in the mood for turning our backs on us.
