989 ① Guardians and disciples

About a year and three months ago...

At the end of the purple moon, which currently prevented the fall and regeneration of the Sun God, Kamur-Josh, the famous Guardian, and his disciple Reit were suffering from heavy snow in the tree sea at the end of the border.

Both names span Totos, but we have not been able to move much further.The road without roads was so snowy that Totos' big legs would fall in half.

The wind is blown away by the beating, and there is snow mixed in there.His vision was almost closed white, and Late was all he could do to keep his back from losing sight of Kamur-Josh as he went forward.

"Late! Just a little more patience!If we get out of this forest, we'll get out of here!

I tried to close the snowstorm gap, and I heard the voice of Kamur-Josh.

In such distress, his voice still seeps as if it were him.

But that might have been the only hope for Late.If Kamur-Josh had been in a state of panic - even in the hateful weather of Kamur-Josh - Late would have had to be prepared to return his soul.Things were so urgent.

"... but we're heading for a sea of trees on the border that doesn't even appear on the map.And yet, there's a guarantee that you'll be able to get out?

Late squeezed his energy and raised his voice, and he said, "Yeah!The vibrant voice came back.

"I've heard rumors from traders and Guardian colleagues before!This tree sea is dotted with freelancers' settlements!They all seem to be hunter settlements, so today's dinner is soup dishes from gamma and muffle!

"... I hope we don't have a muffled dinner."

"Huh? Did you say something?

"Nothing!I've never tasted muffled meat before, so I look forward to it!

As Rate, I had no choice but to gather my imagination and respond like that.

The rats put on their muffled fur carcasses and wore leather coats from above, but their bodies were completely cold.The fingertips that grabbed the rope hardly felt anything.

However, you are not allowed to make weak noises.

Late was finally allowed to accompany Kamur-Josh on his long journey.If I vomited weakly here, I could see people laughing at me, "I guess it was too soon."

Late will soon be twelve.

In the world, it will be considered a young child's age.No matter what kind of environment you are born in, you are never considered a single person.Late, of course, was only a disciple of Kamur-Josh, so he was not in a position to say anything great.

Still, Kamur-Josh finally allowed me to accompany him on a long journey.

Previously, I was only allowed to accompany you on a journey around Genos.When Kamur-Josh went away, he was kept in "Kimus's Tail Pavilion", the inn where Late was born and raised, and even waited for his master's return.

This year, Kamur-Josh was able to converge the disturbances surrounding the Earl of Turan family.

Of course, there were a lot of people involved, but Rayte believes that the biggest actor would have been Kamur-Josh.

Late first met Kamur-Josh because he was investigating a plot to whirlpool into Genos.

The orphan of the leader of the merchant group who returned his soul about ten years ago was raised under the brother-in-law of the deputy leader - and when he heard that, Camuer-Josh visited Kimus's Tail Pavilion.

I wonder if that was two years ago.

When Rate was even younger than he is now.

Kamur-Josh appeared in "Kimus's Tail Pavilion" with a nasty face.I didn't say that I was investigating past incidents, but I just wanted to stay for a few days.

Initially, my husband Milano-Mouth seemed to have avoided Camoua-Josh.And Kamur-Josh was neglected from the people of the west, because he was a man of the north.

But the familiar Kamur-Josh was always close to Milan-Mouth.Even the introverted and weak Terria-Mouth had started to smile after three days.

Late had an intense vision of Kamur-Josh surviving the world with only the sword's arm.

He was born between the north and the west.And the mother of the people of the north conceived a child with the people of the west, the enemy.

The mother who conceived the unjust child was isolated in her home village.Camoua-Josh, who was born, was also persecuted as an unclean blood line.

Eventually, the mother works hard and returns her soul young.

On that occasion, Kamur-Josh abandoned his homeland.He was 15 years old.He ran out of Mahidrah alone and transferred God to the Western gods.

"My mother apologized to me until the moment she gave me my soul back.If my mother and father hadn't met, I wouldn't have been born in this world.Then I can't blame my mother. "

At that time, Kamur-Josh was laughing as he said so.

He was such a tough man.

Rate admired its strength.

That's why Lat hoped to join his apprentice in Camouar-Josh on the spot.

"Oh, my God. You have such a warm house. [M]Milan-Mouth and Terria-Mouth are important family members, even if there is no blood connection?"Guardian" is a grassroots visitor.I don't think it's worth a second place to my family or my hometown. "

That's what Camuer-Josh said.

Well, if a teenager asks for apprenticeship, anyone will get away with it.He was supposed to be kind rather than kind because he was kind to such a young boy.

But Rat couldn't get rid of his thoughts.

Late was in desperate need of strength.

Of course, the people of the Mass family are important, and I think they are a real family.And they shared the same grief.The people of Lait and Mass were once again deprived of their precious family, but were unable to clear up their carelessness through the deception of the nobles.

So Late convinced Milan-Mouth, not Kamur-Josh himself.

I want to be as strong as Kamur-Josh.

I care about Milan-Mouth and Terria-Mouth, but I don't want to cry together, but I want to be someone who can clear the tears of my precious family - that's how Late sued me with tears that I couldn't help but spill.

So Milan-Mouth asked Camuer-Josh to join Late's apprentice.

"If Late has the qualities of a Guardian, you can raise him.If he doesn't have the qualities, I'm going to raise him to a fine place in the inn. "

Milano-Mouth used to say that.

So Camuer-Josh also accepted Late's apprenticeship.

About two years later - Camoua-Josh finally gave Late a long journey with him.

That's why Rate couldn't give up his weak voice, even if it was going to give back his soul.

"... Late! It's inhuman!

--I heard that voice again from the snowstorm gap.

However, no matter how much Late glances, he doesn't see one of the lights.

And Camuer-Josh said, "No, no!"and laughed.

"Lights will never spill out of windows in this cold zone!Look up when this happens.Look, there's a white smoke coming up, right?

Late looked up, but the area was already a lot darker, and snow was blowing.Late couldn't tell which was smoke and which was snow at all.

"Hey, this is what it's like to have nine deaths forever!Come on, warm dinner is just around the corner!

Then I counted the hundreds - the black shadows stood on my way.It is the shadow of a wooden house lined up among the woods.

"Yes, the wind and snow have finally subsided."

Kamur-Josh looks back at Late as he washes away the snow covered in his headscarf.When I shifted the collar around my mouth, there was the usual dumb smile.

"Are you okay, Lat?I was a little worried about getting frozen while riding Totos because I didn't hear back from you earlier. "

"... I just wanted to preserve my health as much as possible.There is no guarantee that the people of this settlement will accept suspicious travelers. "

"Late is worrying.Anyway, there's no such thing as a person who'd let a smart kid like Late die. "

Late disagreed with the way the child said it, but now he has no health left to give back.

Camuer-Josh laughs at the end and then turns back.

"Well, let's call the nearest house.Thank you to the Western gods and the Eastern gods. "

"Oriental God? Why Oriental God?

"Because this should already be Sim territory.Mahidra to the north, Serva to the west, and Sims to the two kingdoms. "

"Hold on a second.So... this is the territory of the infamous Geld?

"No, that's why it's a free ground.If we keep going northeast, we'll be in Geld territory without any trouble. "

Rate had set foot in such a dangerous place without knowing.

When it comes to free ground adjacent to Mahidora and Gerd, it only seemed like a dangerous area for the people of the west equal to the territory of the Great Bear.

"Don't worry, I'm going to head south for Jigi's meadow if I spend the night here.I want to know what path Selva has to take to my Sims. "

Kamur-Josh smiles happily while saying so.

As for lates, all I could do was chew them off under the collar.
