I Became the Companion of the Gods

49 – EP.15 Night Battle -1

“Everyone, I’m back… !!”

“Welcome, my dear.”

After endless acts with two pets. I took the two fainting people and returned to the room.

The nasty crow greeted me like that. He was one of the culprits in this incident.

However, I was severely lacking in energy to push Yata, so I accepted her favor gracefully.

The futons are already laid out. In one of them, Tia was sleeping soundly.

“Has Tia gone to bed already?”

“Yes, it is good for children to sleep soundly.”

“Ugh….”

Why does it sound like ‘children should go to sleep soon, because adults have a long time!’?

Anyway, the two divine beasts brought from the hot spring lie down on the futon to sleep.

Both of them look very satisfied. It was very exhausting, but I’m glad the results were good.

But from now on, I will only do it in my room.

Washing, dressing, and carrying the fainting two on their backs was not the only hardship.

There was a fear that my back would break.

“You worked hard! Come on, here’s something to drink!”

“Thank you. But what is this… ?”

What Yata gave me was a clear liquid in a clear flask.

The water looked suspicious at first glance.

“It’s a nourishing tonic.”

“A nutritional tonic? Isn’t that a strange drug?”

“It’s not strange, it’s a medicine that is really nutritious. Don’t worry, you can drink.”

“Ummm…. Okay.”

Until now, there have been many times when Yata deliberately didn’t tell me so I made it difficult.

However, there were almost no false statements.

Because she was like that, I was able to stop doubting and drink her medicine.

Gulp.

A medicine with a bitter taste. However, there is no objection at all, and the entire amount enters the body through the esophagus.

Then, miraculously, all the stamina that had been lost just a moment ago was reborn, and vitality returned to the whole body.

“Ohhh? Which brand product is this? It kills the effect!”

“Isn’t that the water from the lake we went to in the morning?”

“Eh… ?”

“No need to worry! It’s because I prepared it before turning into a bicorn. There will be nothing wrong with your body.”

“Even if you say that, isn’t it the water that contains the body of a unicorn?”

“It’s easier to think of it as broth, broth made with the body of a unicorn.”

Is that a problem in itself?

…… Even so, I couldn’t spit out what I drank.

Besides, to be honest, I can’t say anything because the fatigue has gone away.

Just from now on, if I feel suspicious, I will never drink it.

“I drank the medicine and came back healthy, so get ready soon, my dear.”

“Ugh! You know, Yata. Although the physical condition has returned, the mental fatigue is still intact? So I want to do it tomorrow… ….”

“No, if I don’t do it today!”

Yata speaks in a firm and resolute tone.

There was sincerity in that one word. Did you want to do that?

“Why?”

“That’s because I can’t deal with it if it’s not today.”

“Huh? Process… ? What?”

“What? Didn’t I explain it beforehand?”

“I didn’t.”

“Really? Ahahahaha! Because you’re used to only looking at the future, you mistakenly thought that I had already said it!”

“No matter what, it is. It is difficult to mistake the present with the future.”

“Sorry, sorry!”

“Anyway so? What do you mean by having to deal with it now?”

“That’s right. It may come out of nowhere, but from now on, Nanggun and I have to leave for a night battle.”

“Night battle… ? Why is it a night battle all of a sudden?”

“Among the divine beasts near this village, there is one more divine beast besides the bicorn. The problem is that he’s a very violent guy, unlike the bicorn. He’s picky about his abilities….”

“So you’re saying we have to deal with him now?”

“Right. If you leave him alone, something will happen that will hold you back in the future.”

“Then, wouldn’t it be okay to do it after the sun rises? In the first place, the other kids are in a state where they can’t even move.”

“That’s not okay. If not now, there will be no next chance.”

The fact that Yata is stubborn like this means that the divine beast will become a very difficult enemy for us in the future.

It seems that it must be dealt with reliably.

However, there were questions that arose from Yata’s strong will.

“Why did you send me and the divine beasts to the hot spring in front of such an important enemy?”

The help of other divine beasts is indispensable in the battle of divine beasts.

But Yata made the two divine beasts immobilize me, and even put Tia to sleep.

I had to hear why he did it on purpose.

“In this fight, you must not rely on the help of other companion divine beasts.”

“Why?”

“First of all, since we are fighting in the natural forest, Kor’s ability is not good. And Tia is likewise excluded because she does not yet have complete control over her own powers.”

“Then what about Miho?”

“Because b*tch fox tends to overprotect her husband. In Nang-gun’s emergency situation, like Tia, she uses too much power. So it’s the same except.”

“Is excessive force the problem?”

“Yes, the divine beasts of the east terribly hate the destruction of their home. That’s why there are a lot of guys who get angry even if you knock down a few trees.”

“In other words, do you mean dealing with divine beasts while minimizing the destruction of nature?”

“Right.”

It’s difficult. It is a very difficult conundrum.

Irrespective of the conditions, even fighting a divine beast is a fairly difficult problem.

But to fight a divine beast without destroying nature… Also that…….

“Do you think it is impossible?”

“Yeah, no matter how much I think about it, wouldn’t it be impossible this time?”

“Then tell me about the problems you think. I will come up with a solution for that.”

Yata is a crow that sees the future. He must have assumed all futures and completed all preparations.

So, since we have a future in which we can win in the upcoming field battles, it must be that we are taking on a confident appearance like that.

“First of all, there are few means of attack. I haven’t heard what kind of divine beast it is, but anyway, human weapons don’t work against divine beasts. Then you’re the only one to fight, right? That is too dangerous.”

“That’s right. So, by the way, I’ve prepared the solution for you! Would you like to open that closet over there?”

“The closet… ?”

When Yata turned his head to where his finger pointed, there was a sliding door.

A closet for storing inn bedding.

As I gently pushed it aside, a trunk bag caught my eye on the top shelf.

Does this bag contain the solution Yata said?

I immediately took out the bag and opened it to find a mysterious silver guard and a sword.

“Is this a solution to the means of attack?”

“That’s right, with those protective gear and the sword, I think even Nang-gun will be able to fight Shinsu.”

“Doesn’t human weapons work against divine beasts?”

“Normally. But, the weapons and armor are special.”

“This?”

If you look at it simply, it was just a silver-colored weapon.

However, I can’t believe that this is doing significant damage to Shinsoo, which is harder than steel.

“Yes, it is a weapon made of a special mineral that the fox and I worked together to materialize.”

“What do you mean by special minerals?”

“Fatallite, a rare mineral to be discovered among countless possibilities in the distant future. It is literally a deadly mineral, a special mineral that can injure any animal.”

“Did such a mineral exist?”

“As you know, there are many uncharted areas in Mother Nature, and you never know what climate change will happen in the future. This mineral is also a product of nature that has been created through countless possibilities.”

“Then, is this mineral located somewhere in the world right now?”

“No, at least a very small amount will occur after 1000 years. These weapons are the only fatalites that exist in the world right now.”

“Wow… ….”

It turned out to be a terrifying thing.

The only substance that humans can fight against the divine beasts, if it spreads widely, surely the fight between humans and divine beasts may not be too far away.

But it was a substance that I wanted to hide unconditionally, since doing such a thing was sure to bring chaos to the world.

Because Yata knows how I feel, it must be that she revealed all the facts and prepared a weapon like this.

“But why is it a sword? I don’t know much about swordsmanship, do I?”

“If we make it into a gun, the ammunition will be limited, and above all, we have to go around picking up shell casings to hide the existence of Fatalite.”

“Aw!! That’s a little….”

From noble mtl dot com

Looking for shell casings in the forest at night…. Just imagining it makes me shake my head in horror.

I would rather die than find a scale in the desert.

“Isn’t it? That’s why I only made it with swords and protective equipment. It was made by our Yata religion believers.”

“The more you look, the more versatile you are. Your believers….”

“Ahahahaha! Because they are my children I am proud of!”

I felt envy when I saw Yata laughing cheerfully and praising the believers.

If I had leadership like Yata, I wouldn’t have been discriminated against less.

Such thoughts come into my head spontaneously, and I feel short of breath.

Really…. I hate myself for being jealous of my companion animal.

“I see.”

“Don’t worry! Because my children also means that they are the children of my husband! So you don’t have to be depressed, my dear.”

“Everyone really understands my heart.”

“hahahaha, I’m not a crow that sees the future for nothing. Well, anyway! Coming back to the main topic, it will be okay even if you don’t know swordsmanship, because that weapon is not just a sword.”

“Then what?”

“I’ll explain that later. I can’t show you here. Are you looking forward to it instead? I’m sure you’ll be surprised!”

“Yeah, okay.”

As this weapon was carefully crafted by Yata, there must be some great secret behind it.

And I have no doubts that it will give the enemy a fatal hit.

As such, the trust in Yata is absolute within me.

“Regarding the next problem, even if the means of attack are solved, it is meaningless if you fail to hit them, right?”

“Yes.”

“But there is a difference between Shinsoo and my physical ability. No matter how fast I run, I can’t catch up with Shinsoo. Any remedy for that?”

“Of course, I have it.”

“Can you hear me?”

“Simple. All you have to do is ask for the consent of one helper.”

“At a time like this? How?”

There was no way anyone would cooperate in helping us fight the divine beast at night.

If I had to think about it, only the Yata cults were loyal to Yata.

I didn’t think that Yata, who treats believers like children, would send them to a dangerous place like fighting a divine beast.

Then who is it?

“You also met today, right?”

“I said I met… ?”

“Don’t you remember what happened at the lake?”

“If it is a lake… no way?!”

“I hope so. Nanggun will ride on his back and fight during this night battle.”

“No, wait a minute, is that possible with common sense?!”

“Before he was corrupted, it would be impossible unless he was a virgin, but he is now corrupted. Wouldn’t you rather see Nanggun riding on it as a reward?”

“Well, aside from that, I’ve never learned anything like horseback riding!!”

“It’s okay. If you want to be violent, just hit it! Then I’ll move you gently!”

As if to say don’t worry, Yata starts laughing while holding up a thumbs up.

Because her smile was openly ridiculed, anxiety began to well up.

No matter how hard it is, to see me fight while riding a Shinsoo…. How much more so on that f*ckin’ perverted bicorn?

“Haa…!!”

Today’s midnight battle…….

I haven’t even started, but I’m already feeling anxious.
