Chapter 372 – Legacy of Order.

“So this is Parz? Isn’t it like hell?”
“Why do you think he’s already dead?”

No matter how much the girl thought about it, she had no memory of being dead, and even more so, if she looked back a bit, there was the village she came from. No matter how much she thought about it, it was hard to believe she was dead. But she was a very nice place to live, so it was difficult to talk about.

“What kind of species is this uncle doing?”
“It’s a race. I wonder if it’s human for now.”
“In that form?”

The girl looked at him. He was overly thick and heavy, the iron armor covering his entire body. I could understand how to do it up to this point, but it was a problem after that. The joints that were sparsely and slightly exposed looked like a group of black lines that were difficult to see as human.

“Where is a human with such strange eyes?”

Above all, the yellow one eye, which still radiated a soft glow even in bright daylight, was different from that of any race she knew, so she couldn’t even guess what it was made of. When she pointed out that point, he touched his chin and looked down at his body.

“Well, first of all, it’s the closest thing to a human in terms of classification.”
“I can’t hear what you’re talking about at all.”
“Actually, I don’t know either.”

Watching him shrug her shoulders, the girl thought he was a very strange person.

“Anyway, it must be fate that we met like this. Let’s ask her name.”
“What’s your name all of a sudden?”

It wasn’t that he wasn’t suspicious when asked for his own name, either.

“Or should I call you the Chorpodidae of the animal world?”
“Somehow I feel bad.”
“Then tell me your name.”

Steam leaked in the sight of him casually carrying a broken Gusakraptor on his shoulder.

“Nausicaa. I said Nausicaa.”

It was a name that the girl’s father had once given her. However, he dumped her girl not long after, so she would wonder every time whether it would be okay to use this name, but he couldn’t help it. Even so, I didn’t want to have a strange name like the kids in the back alley.

“What? What? Are you Nausicaa?”
“Do you know me?”

The way he reacted as if he knew her name was really unexpected.

“Well, if Neg’s father gets hit by the bird-head I know.”
“Bird’s head…”

The girl knew it was calling her head in her vulgar language. However, if she had a bird’s head, she would be considered very great among her kind, the harpies. She might have been curious about his appearance as she talked about it casually.

“Probably right. If the harpy you’re talking about is Vargazzet.”

Yes, the girl’s father was once called the greatest harpy.

“Oh, that’s complicating things.”

He spoke as if he was troubled.

“Why is it complicated?”
“My name is Yakaf.”
“…Yakaf?”

Is there really a harpy whose name you don’t know? Because she had made her sacred place so noisy that she could hear it in her ears as she wandered the alleys. And the name of the man who finally defeated Bargazzet and drove the harpies to Parz. The girl was blank and she looked up at him.

“Simply put, your enemy.”
“I think I know why the wind king fell.”
“I’m saying just in case. I wasn’t like this from the beginning.”
“…Sorry.”
“That’s right. There’s nothing else to be sorry for.”

He spoke as he groomed the number of Gusakraptors.

“But do you always live like this?”
“It’s not like that. Why are you asking?”
“Anyway, you don’t have to live at home. At home.”

That’s right, they are currently sitting in the middle of the mangrove forest making a rough spot and lighting a fire. Perhaps because of this, there were not one or two people who were seduced by the light, so the corpses of Gusakraptor were piled up behind him like a mountain.

“If you do this, you will completely dry the guys around you.”
“Mmmm, I don’t think I’m bad.”

But it wasn’t too bad for Nausicaa. Because for the first time in her life she could eat her meaty meat to her heart’s content. Every time he catches and kills the attacking guys, Nausicaa only sees more food in his eyes.

“Oh, no matter how much you and I eat, we can’t eat all of this. Even if we eat all of it, then that’s a problem.”
“Why?”
“Yeah, if you dry the seeds like this, you won’t be able to eat these guys again later.”
“That’s not allowed.”

It was true that I was scared when I first encountered Gusakraptor, but when I ate the meat that he personally prepared, wrapped in mangrove leaves, and grilled, it was so delicious that even the scary feelings were forgotten. He hated not being able to taste this again. Even so, she didn’t come up with a very good way for her.

“But I don’t have a home.”

I didn’t know when I would be able to eat this much meat again under such circumstances.

“Oh my gosh. I guess I roughly expected you to be like that.”

When Nausicaa spoke sullenly, he scratched her head.

“A house is only for children with parents.”
“Eat the meat or grumble, do one of the two.”
“I don’t particularly resent you.”

He looked at her blankly, but Nausicaa was her heart.

“Because I was in the alley when he was alive.”

It’s just that with his death, the harpies were expelled from the Holy Land, and their residence changed from the back alleys of the Holy Land to the back alleys of Parz.

“Is that so?”
“Huh.”

He just looked at her and said that. For some time to eat meat without saying anything like that.

“…If I’m really sorry.”
“Ok?”
“Can’t you be my father?”

It was a very simple impulse to say such a thing. A ridiculous story that I just spit out because I remembered the image of children who always held their parents’ hands and followed them around in clean clothes.

“I don’t think so either.”

That’s why I picked up such a story with such words.

“Hmm, yeah? Then why don’t we sell this?”
“That?”

What he pointed with his thumb was the Gusakraptors already piled up like a mountain. Unknowingly, when I asked back in a bolmen voice, he giggled.

“Honey. Didn’t we both say we couldn’t eat it anyway? Wouldn’t it be better if we sold it and made money?”

There must be hunters here too. She watched silently as he picked up a skewer and ate the meat.

“Money…”
“Yeah, you can buy something with it.”
“I know that.”

There was no way I didn’t know how important it was. Even more so, money was more valuable than anything else in a back alley far from that. With it, there was nothing I couldn’t buy, from houses to clothes and food. But none of that was given to her.

“…I can’t.”
“What? I can’t.”
“No matter what you do, don’t give me money.”

There was no such thing as work for the kids in the back alley. I only heard news that even if I was lucky enough to find a place to run errands, I couldn’t get a penny properly or that I was dragged somewhere. Instinctively, she knew they were in trouble.

“All adults are like that.”

Back alley people or not, adults always had something in common. They know that no matter how hard they work, they don’t get paid properly. Even if it was just a penny, it was a waste. To adults, they were nothing but useless things in every way. I thought it would be the same.

“Then I can sell it.”
“What?”

Nausicaa suddenly raised her head at the answer that came back calmly.

“If you don’t pay the kid properly. Shouldn’t I sell it?”

He continues to talk while munching on meat.

“So, please tell me where you can sell something like this. If you sell it at a similar price, it’ll be pretty good.”

It was surprising, but it made sense when you think about it. A simple errand that he caught anyway, and she just needs to tell him about it in return for eating it.

“No, these things are sold that expensive?”

He said as if surprised to find that a few were sold on the street where Nausicaa had visited her after remembering her. One gold coin per bird, she could tell that it was a high price even if she didn’t know the details.

“Kiya, these are all sold out.”

It didn’t sell well at first, but thanks to the Cattsy who heard about it and bought it in large quantities, they were able to build a tower with gold coins. She put it aside and saw him worried and thought it would be okay to break up now.

“So kid. How about buying a house with this?”
“…Uncle’s house?”
“If you think about it, it’s your house, right?”
“Why?”

Nausicaa couldn’t understand why the story was like that. Didn’t their business end with finding out the price of the gusakraptor? She looked up at her with such doubts, and Jakaf, who met her eyes, shrugged her shoulders.

“Why, why? Dad, please do it.”

The words Nausicaa thought she had picked up were not.

“So let’s start by buying a suitable house and thinking about it.”
“Ugh, it’s heavy.”
“You are too weak.”

The hand covering her head was obviously heavy and cold, but she still couldn’t forget the feeling that the big hand gave her.

“So the house you bought is this useless big haunted house?”
“It’s a haunted house! Even if it looks like that, the skeleton is fine?”
– Whiing Wood Deuk Crisp!

At that moment, a wind blew from somewhere, and doors and windows fell and shattered or rattled.

“…Is that so?”
“…Just a little bit of tweaking.”

It would be better than living without a roof, though, she vaguely thought she did.
