46 – The Race that Hides Its Power

“Um… then we’ll be going now.”

“Oh, look at me! Our son-in-law must be busy, but I was holding him without any sense! Yes. Go ahead and report your work.”

When I gathered my courage and spoke up, my mother-in-law perked up her ears and answered me.

Fortunately, she seemed to prioritize the problem-solving of the Blue Moon more than the marriage of Kaawa.

As I thanked her awkwardly, my mother-in-law started to take out something carefully.

“This is the badge that shows the identity of the warrior chief that my daughter used, and this is a list of herbivore-class beastmen that I personally recommend. I brought them just in case you might need them.”

“Thank you very much. It seems like a great help.”`

“Hoho. I feel so good when you say that. Oh, by the way! I’ll let the retired warriors know, and I’ll tell the Temple of the Wild again. There won’t be any disrespect for our son-in-law in Cheongcheongyeongwol.”

“Thank you, Lua―”

“―Yes?”

“……Mother-in-law.”

“Hohoho! What’s with that!”

I took the goods that my mother-in-law handed me and turned around to walk.

Pii sighed and shook his head, and Ebi greeted my mother-in-law and followed behind me.

I didn’t feel comfortable walking because of the indescribable feeling.

Then, my mother-in-law’s bright voice came from behind me.

“I’ll make some delicious food, so don’t be late for dinner with Kaa!”

“Yes?”

“Oh! Do I only need to prepare one room? But I still have to lay two beds, right?”

“……”

She seemed to want to let me stay at her house. And in the same room with Kaa.

I sighed involuntarily and my head started to ache again.

I was too scared to talk back, so I nodded and entered the street of Cheongcheongyeongwol.

“Mr. Gaul… I’ll guide you to the area of the herbivorous beastmen.”

“Phew… I appreciate it.”

After getting out of my mother-in-law’s sight, I walked leisurely with Ebi’s guidance.

On one side, there was a clear lake of geomancy, and on the other side, there were beautiful autumn leaves.

The early autumn of Cheongcheongyeongwol looked peaceful on the surface.

‘Only on the surface.’

But its reality was no different from a candle in the wind.

Monsters kept attacking, warriors fought with the resolve to die, and it was hard to survive the winter in this state.

To save Cheongcheongyeongwol, they had to move quickly from now on.

A heavy sense of responsibility weighed on his shoulders, but as a man, he had to do his best for the task he had taken.

He looked at Ebi with determination.

First, he needed to know more about Cheongcheongyeongwol.

“Ebi. Can you tell me what kind of beastmen live in Cheongcheongyeongwol?”

“Do you mean the beastmen here?”

“Yes. I said I would mobilize the herbivore beastmen, but I don’t even know what races are here.”

“Oh! Of course, I will explain it to you.”

Cheongcheongyeongwol was a city where many races gathered and formed a community.

To lead his plan to success, he had to know the details of the city’s members.

Ebi answered calmly, matching his pace.

“There are four races in our Cheongcheongyeongwol. Each of them inherited the wildness of wolves, foxes, rabbits, and cows.”

“Two carnivores, two herbivores. Is that all the races of beastmen?”

“No, it is not. There are many more races of beastmen. But Cheongcheongyeongwol is the only city where carnivores and herbivores coexist. Therefore, this unique culture was created.”

“Unique culture? You mean other beastmen tribes are not like this?”

“Yes. I heard that other races spread in the Great Forest have a somewhat savage culture.”

I thought all the beastmen in Daesurim were polite, but it seemed that was not the case.

I recalled the information that Ebi had given me and continued with the next question.

“Then can you tell me the strengths of the rabbit and cow tribes?”

“Do you mean the strengths of the herbivorous beastmen?”

“Yes. I need to know their specialties to give them efficient and safe orders.”

If there were wolves, foxes, rabbits, and cows in Cheongcheongyeongwol, the beastmen I had to recruit would be the rabbit and cow tribes.

Of course, I was curious about the specialties of the wolf and fox tribes as well, but the only thing I had to worry about right now was the abilities of the herbivorous beastmen.

Ebi, who heard my question, stopped walking for a moment and fell into thought.

Then he pointed to his ears and said brightly, as if he had remembered something.

“We, the rabbit tribe, have good hearing!”

“Uh-huh. I know that.”

It was a fact that I knew well, since I had already received his help.

I shrugged my shoulders, meaning to tell him to say another specialty.

Ebi thought again, and then pointed to his legs and answered.

“Ah! The rabbit tribe has very strong legs! We are confident in running fast and kicking!”

“Kicking?”

I was unexpectedly interested in his answer.

Come to think of it, Ebi said he had ‘run’ from Cheongcheongyeongwol to Eldenore.

I had let it go at the time, but now that I thought about it, it was a ridiculous story.

How did he walk such a distance that was even out of the shadow of the World Tree?

“Um… can you show me your kick once?”

I asked him to prove it because I didn’t quite believe it.

There was no suitable target, so he would have to kick the air, but that would be enough to see if it was useful for combat.

“Yes. Then, please excuse me for a moment.”

Eve nodded slightly and walked to the lakeside.

Then she lifted her skirt and asked me to step back.

As I moved a few steps away, she began to take a deep breath.

The mana in the air seeped into her, and it turned into a blue mana.

It seemed to be true that the beastmen were excellent at using mana to enhance their bodies.

I could tell that fact at a glance by looking at the mana that gathered in her legs.

“Hyap!”

Soon after, she stretched out her leg with a cute shout.

At first glance, it looked like an awkward kick that had nothing to do with combat.

But at that moment,

– Bang!!!!

With a sound of tearing the air, the lake was split into two.

– Splash!

[Ouch, it’s cold! What, what is this!?]

The lake water that splashed up from Eve’s kick became rain and soaked the surroundings.

Pee, who was lying down, was startled by the unexpected baptism and got up.

What did I just see? Did mana fly away?

As I was so surprised, Ibi, who had finished kicking, looked back at me.

I could only mutter blankly as I looked at the rainbow hanging in the sky.

“Crazy.”

The rabbit’s kick was insanely strong.

Much more than I had thought.

“This is the area where the herbivorous beastmen live.”

“It doesn’t look any different from the city center?”

“Yes. It’s just located in the somewhat safer northwest. It’s the consideration of the carnivorous beastmen.”

After being shocked by Ibi’s kick, we hurried to the herbivorous area.

I was very curious about how strong the bovine beastmen were, after seeing the overwhelming leg strength of the rabbit beastmen.

“Then, will you bring the people on the talent list?”

“Yeah. Please do.”

I nodded my head as I rubbed Pii’s cheek.

Ibi went into the residence with the ‘herbivorous beastmen talent list’ that the mother-in-law had given.

I thought I would have to struggle alone from one to ten, but it seemed like I was getting a lot of help from Ibi and the mother-in-law.

I was sorry for Kaia, who didn’t know this fact, but her mother was a pretty good person as a mother-in-law.

“What’s going on?”

“I don’t know~ The druid warrior chief called me?”

“A druid is a druid, and a warrior chief is a warrior chief. What is a druid warrior chief?”

“You’ll see when you meet him. There, I think that’s him.”

Ivy came back faster than expected. And she brought more people than anticipated.

Apparently, the rumor about the druid had spread, and some people came along just to see me.

I looked around the herbivores gathered in the square.

I saw about thirty young men and women of the rabbit and cow tribes.

Some of them showed anxiety, and some of them showed excitement.

They had distinct personalities even within the same tribe.

“Alright, since everyone is here, let’s not wait and get to the point.”

I raised my hand and quieted everyone in the square.

Then I looked at them calmly and asked Pii for a favor.

“Pii, can you make a sturdy wooden wall?”

[Huh? Why?]

“I want to see how strong the cow tribe is.”

[…You’re not thinking of making them break the summoned wood, are you?]

“Why not? The wood summoned by magic doesn’t have spirits in it, so it doesn’t matter, right?”

[Of course it doesn’t matter! Let’s do it right now!]

Fortunately, Pii was also curious about the strength of the cow tribe and obediently followed me.

Then Pii’s mana seeped into the ground, and a rough vibration and noise started to shake the surroundings.

A thick wooden wall was summoned in the middle of the square in an instant.

“What are they trying to do?”

“How would we know? We can’t fathom the thoughts of the high and mighty.”

The herbivorous beastmen murmured and wondered at the sight.

Then I should solve both their and our questions at once.

I pointed at the biggest man among the gathered bovine beastmen and asked.

“You there, the biggest bovine beastman. Can you break that summoned wooden wall?”

The bovine beastman who received my question turned his head and examined the wooden wall.

A huge wooden wall that looked at least 3m tall cast a shadow over the man’s face.

“Hmm!”

He answered confidently and nodded his head.

There was no more satisfying answer than that.

I lifted the corners of my mouth and shouted at him.

“Then break it!”

There was no reply.

Only the sound of his footsteps shaking the ground.

– Thud! Thud! Thud!

The bovine beastman charged like a heavy tank.

He thrust his horns forward, spewed out rough blue mana, and smashed into the wooden wall.

The result was both obvious and shocking.

– Kwaahhhhh!!!!

The horn of the bovine tribe pierced through the wooden wall and shattered it.

– Kwaaang!!!

The bovine tribe that broke through the wooden wall smashed the stone wall behind it.

– Kwang!!

Then it finally stopped after destroying a poor house.

“Ah! How can he not know his own strength!”

“Oh my! How are we going to fix this! He ate everything up!”

The surrounding beastmen exclaimed in horror at the sight.

Of course, a scream of astonishment also came out of my and Pii’s mouths.

[Wow! This is amazing!]

“This is it!”

The plan to save the Blue Moon.

This might be easier than I thought.
