I Became the Companion of the Gods

89 – EP.21 Winter Camp -3

It is about an hour’s walk from Suobi Village to the Northern Mother Nature Line.

It was unexpectedly located nearby.

Even the Yeti area is said to be within a 30-minute walk from the border.

I could understand how the Yeti’s precious stones ended up in human hands.

Anyway, that precious stone is with us now. We just had to wait for the Yeti to come out right in front of the border, but…….

“Annasana!”

“That’s right, it doesn’t appear. What happened to Yata? Aren’t these fake?”

“That’s right. It’s not that the stone is fake, but there’s a problem.”

“What’s wrong?”

“When I went up on the lift earlier, a fight broke out because I wasted too much time there.”

“Wait a minute, does that mean we didn’t have a problem if we passed it by hallucinating without me having to convince the staff?”

“Yes!”

“… ….”

“Ahahahaha! Sorry! But, as I said earlier, I really wanted to see Nang-goon persuading me hard no matter what.”

“Yes….”

I can’t say it’s entirely Yata’s fault, since my ignorance is also included in the cause….

Still, as it was during the Motaras commotion, and this time as well, I realized that even Yata sometimes makes mistakes.

“Let’s go. We are going to end the current situation.”

“Come to think of it, we said we were going to arbitrate the Yeti’s fight.”

“Yes.”

“Then who is fighting the Yeti?”

If the opponent was to fight the Yeti casually, he must have been a Shinsu.

Unless it’s an exceptional case like me, an ordinary animal will never be able to beat a yeti.

So, what god is fighting the Yeti? I was curious about that.

“You better go and see that.”

“Is it a secret again?”

“No. It’s not….”

“Then why are you telling me?”

“Because if you tell me in advance, it will surely break the illusion?”

“Huh?”

I didn’t understand what Yata was saying at all, but she must have said it because she had her own thoughts.

Thinking that there must be unavoidable circumstances, I just followed Yata’s path.

After 10 minutes, we finally reached the peak of the snowy mountain and could hear the low threatening voices of the two beasts.

“Grrr… !!”

“Kuggugg… !!”

Not only that, but I was able to spot their gigantic shapes in the raging blizzard.

An ape covered in pure white fur on one side, just like you imagined.

On the other hand……. It was skinny, but taller than a yeti, and it was a monster with huge reindeer antlers attached to a wolf’s skull.

If my memory and the contents of the mystic dictionary are not wrong, the identity of that monster must have been a Wendigo.

A Wendigo, a divine beast with a heart of ice that can cause blizzards wherever it goes and rapidly cool anything.

In other words, it is also called Ithaqua, and unlike the Yeti, it is known as a ferocious beast.

It is said that all the adventurers who actually wanted to observe the Wendigo were frozen by the Wendigo and eaten with her ice.

Since such a terrifying divine beast was currently fighting the Yeti…….

“I’m sorry, Nang-kun. I didn’t say anything to show you this.”

“I see…. Yeti and Wendigo fighting level is amazing. It really is the best fight in the world.”

The Wendigo grabs the Yeti by the hair and the Yeti pulls the Wendigo’s horns.

It wasn’t a hit and run fight, but two divine beasts holding each other’s heads and hanging down in front of their eyes.

“Leave this.”

“Let go of my horns.”

“I told you to let go? Are you going to take responsibility if my hair falls out?”

“It’s my job. If you don’t want to freeze, take your hand off my horn and don’t bury it.”

“Whoa… !! Good. If you say one, two, three, do you put them at the same time?”

“Yes.”

“One, two, three!!”

However, when the countdown ended, both hands were still on each other’s body parts.

A truly pitiful sight.

Are these guys really gods?

***

The battle between Yeti and Wendigo was childish, but it had its own reasons.

It would be possible for both of them to fight wholeheartedly, but the current location here is a snowy mountain.

It is said that there is a risk that an avalanche will occur if there is a big fight and the surrounding scenery will be ruined.

Since the two of them knew that well, they were fighting so as not to cause too much commotion.

“However, the sight of divine beasts fighting each other by the hair is a complex and subtle feeling….”

“That’s why I didn’t try to tell Nanggun about the fight between the two divine beasts.”

“Yeah, I got it right away.”

If I had told you that the opponent fighting the Yeti was a Wendigo, I would have been drawing a wonderful fight scene with intracerebral delusions.

The fight between the two representative divine beasts of the snowfield is just as exciting, and no matter what human you tell it to, everyone will have the same thoughts.

But after all, imagination and reality are completely different, and it was just bittersweet.

“By the way, how do you stop these two from fighting?”

“That’s simple. You just have to tell them that Nanggun will appear in front of them right now and return the stone.”

“Can I trust you?”

“Of course!”

There’s no doubt about Yata’s words, but this time I’m dubious.

You may not know the gentle Yeti, but the Wendigo is a ferocious divine beast known for cannibalism.

I was worried that if I appeared, they would try to hurt me..

Still, there’s nothing I can do right now, so I decided to follow the crow’s instructions.

“Hmm?”

“Human… ?”

As I confidently approached the two fighting, the other side, of course, realized my existence and looked at me.

I hope they stop looking at me while holding each other by the hair.

To be honest, it’s kind of ugly….

“Friendship?! Hey, why are humans here?”

“What did you come here for? Human!!”

“I didn’t come for a particularly grand reason. I just came to deliver this stone.”

“Ouch! That’s my precious stone… !!”

“Isn’t this the stone you are afraid of? Take it well.”

As she threw her stone at Yeti, Yeti let go of her hand holding her wendigo and took her stone as if it were precious and hugged her.

When I showed up, he had a puzzled expression on his face, but when the precious thing came back, she started to smile brightly.

“Human. I have come to understand why you came here, but don’t think that you will go back well just because of that.”

On the other hand, unlike the Yeti, the Wendigo is very upset with me.

I could feel the rage on his face even though he was a skeleton.

To the point where I could feel the killing spree of wanting to pounce on me right now and devour me.

If it were a normal person, it wouldn’t be strange if he was already shaking and shivering.

Unfortunately, I’m too accustomed to living like that, and I’ve already had most of my experience with Shinsoo.

Fenrir, who was even scarier than Wendigo, had died tens of thousands of times.

That’s why living like this is just a cute level for me.

“Unfortunately, this is not the end of my business.”

“What else do you do?”

“It’s nothing else, just like before, I’m here to mediate between you fighting each other.”

“You dare to mediate our fight with a mere human being? You are arrogant! Know my fraction! Human!”

I thought so too.

Why do I have to mediate between these two….

There was a lot of dissatisfaction, but our crow said that if we mediate the fight between the two and create a debt, there will be no divine beasts that will invade from the north for the next 100 years.

In other words, like Arachne, there are fewer cases where divine beasts invade the human world.

It was something I had to do even if I didn’t want to do it.

However, this skeletal giraffe seemed to be impatient because it couldn’t eat me, as it is known for its personality.

“At least I’ll freeze it and eat it all at once so it won’t hurt!”

“Wait a minute, I’m here to stop a fight. Aren’t you here to fight?”

“Ha! Are you still out of your mind? A human like you is just my meal….!”

I quietly took three steps back in preparation for what was to come.

The Wendigo, who misunderstood my actions as running away, summoned a strong blizzard to prevent her from escaping.

However, to me, who had Tia’s power to control the air, the blizzard meant nothing.

I backed off for reasons other than what I meant to run….

-Bagak!!

With the sound of her bones snapping, Wendigo’s body leaned forward and she collapsed.

A rabbit appeared behind her Wendigo and kicked him in the head.

It was a fleeting moment, but it was clear to me.

On the other hand, the Wendigo, who was abruptly struck in the back of her head, naturally did not know that Alice was doing one thing.

She seemed to think that the Yeti, smiling behind her, was the culprit who hit her.

“You dirty monkey! How dare you hit me in the back?!”

“Friendly? What is that all of a sudden?”

“Shameless bastard! You even pretended not to know!”

In this way, the quarrel between the two begins once again.

How the hell am I supposed to mediate with these noobs…… I don’t know.

***

The two divine beasts constantly fought over whether their words were right or wrong.

The battle was not resolved until the end, so he reluctantly asked me to intervene.

To determine who is more right.

It seems that she was quite frustrated when the Wendigo, who used to treat me like prey, asked me for a favor.

“So the reason the two of you fought was because of a territorial dispute?”

“Yes. Human.”

The story of the two was like this.

Originally, the area the two designated was divided in detail from before, so they say they lived well without any conflict.

However, the terrain separating the two areas has recently collapsed, making each other’s areas unclear.

As a result, they had to draw up a new baseline, but it is said that it was difficult to divide the districts because each other’s opinions were different.

“Isn’t it okay to re-use the baseline I made earlier?”

“Yes! That’s as simple as that! That monkey is arguing against it!!”

“Friendship! Human! I have something to say about that, so listen to me!”

“Tell me somewhere.”

“Originally, my area had high terrain like hills. But this time the terrain collapsed and even my hill collapsed and flowed into this bony guy’s land!”

This means that part of the land that was in your area has been moved into the Wendigo area, so you shouldn’t use the previous baseline as it is.

The Yeti has insisted that they either expand their territories by the amount of water flowing in, or relinquish part of the land.

Wendigo was enraged at Yeti’s claim and asked how she knew how much land she had received and returned it.

In response, the Yeti also raised its voice, saying that if the land cannot be returned, why not widen the baseline a bit?

There were signs that the fight between the two was about to resume.

“No. What the hell happened, the terrain collapsed and this problem occurred?”

“It’s because of something that happened a while ago.”

“I was a little far away from here, but a meteorite fell from the sky to the ground, and the aftermath caused the ground to collapse.”

“Oh… !”

It must have been because of what happened to me and my pet….

Wouldn’t it be a pity if I told you this straight away?

I should keep my mouth shut.

“Yuu! Are you far away? I’m bored!”

“T-Tia?!”

Tia appeared behind me before I knew it and pulled my sleeve.

The little dragon girl’s face was full of boredom and dissatisfaction.

I can understand her feelings, but if she shows up now…….

“What? Why is the baby dragon here?!”

“How come you seem close to that human?”

“A human being friendly with a baby dragon…? Could it be that you were the person of that rumor?!”

“Friendly? The person who broke the rules of the divine beast and signed a contract with the divine beast?”

“Yes. That human!”

Of course it turns out like this.

My identity has been exposed, what should I do now?

As long as you break the rules of divine beasts, it is natural that there is no problem even if you become the target of divine beasts.

The only option is to run away or fight back….

“But doesn’t it matter? Whether you are an ordinary human being or a human who has signed a contract with a Shinsoo, our problems are more urgent anyway.”

“Surely it is.”

Fortunately, these two divine beasts had unexpectedly optimistic temperaments, so it wasn’t too much of a problem.

Not only that, but it doesn’t seem to know that the meteorite we summoned a while ago is ours.

The crisis situation was averted, and I tried to mediate their dispute again, sweeping the relieved heart.

However, the disgruntled baby dragon did not allow this.

“Yuu, play with me now!!”

“Wait a minute. Tia. I’ll finish this and play right away.”

“Sirer! I’m playing with Yuu right now, Sipper!!”

“I’m so sorry.”

I was so sorry that I couldn’t pay more attention to you, but now I had to solve the problems between the two of them.

So I comforted Tia by patting her hair for a while, entrusted Tia to Yata, and returned to where the two divine beasts were.

“I’m asking this by any chance, but do you have any intention of conceding even one of the two?”

“No.”

“Absolutely not.”

“Yes….”

In fact, the simple solution to this problem is that one person yields.

But if this were possible, the two wouldn’t be fighting like this.

Then, the remaining methods were limited.

A method of roughly estimating how much of the yeti’s territory has flowed in and bringing that much.

Of course, it couldn’t be brought perfectly, but the Yeti and the Wendigo just had to compromise on the amount of land that they could understand.

But…….

“This is too little! Give me more!”

“This is enough patronizing! Take it kindly!!”

I couldn’t use this method because both of them acted rudely.

The next method devised was to change the baseline.

I changed the existing straight line shape to a wavy shape, and I tried to expand the Yeti’s area a little bigger….

“Do it in moderation! Greedy Monkey! Were you born to abandon your conscience when you were born?”

“What is this level? You miser bone!!”

This, too, was not accepted as opinions were divided.

I tried to solve the problem between the two by coming up with other methods.

These two divine beasts, full of greed, didn’t accept either method, and fought every single thing, only making my sighs grow.

“Haa… !!”

On the other hand, there were other people besides me who were looking at this situation with a frown, so in the end, they couldn’t stand it and came to me with their cheeks puffed out.

“Yuu! I can’t stand it anymore! Play with me!”

“Tia….”

“I play skiing with Yuu!! Yuu won’t play with me anymore!!”

“Ugh… ! I’m so sorry, Tia.”

“Yuu, are those two more precious? Or am I more precious?”

“That’s right Tiazi.”

“Then why don’t you play with me?”

“That, that is….”

I didn’t know what to say so that Tia wouldn’t get hurt and would understand. As I stood still, her frowned eyebrows became more stern.

Eventually, Tia’s swollen cheeks sank in, and Tia poured out all her dissatisfaction with her words.

“It’s over now!! I’m going to play with Yuu! Right Now!!”

“T… Tia?!”

As every thread of air I could see began to twist here and there, I could see that the current situation was dire.

Threads of air were constantly being woven even though the limit of air threads that could be touched at one time was exceeded.

When I maximally weave, a whirlwind that blows away everyone around me appears, but the fact that a stronger upper wind emerges… ?

“Oh, my God… !!”

This meant that the whole area and everyone here would be in an emergency.

The moment the words run away were about to come out of my throat.

Unfortunately, as if it was a step too late, the tangled threads began to unravel.

With the extreme storm that occurred, an avalanche of unprecedented scale occurred in the snowy mountain.

***

-Quarre!!

“Kyahahahaha!!”

A terrifying roar and the bright laughter of a young girl.

I was unable to open my eyes for a while after the storm, so I carefully opened them.

I thought I would have been caught up in the shower of snow and buried in the snow, but contrary to my expectations, my body was on top of the avalanche.

It was like a miracle, but the fact that it was going down with an avalanche did not change.

“Yuu! Look at this!!”

“Tia?”

From noble mtl dot com

Let’s turn her head to her side at the sound of Tia’s laughter that we’ve been hearing right next to her all along….

An extraordinary sight unfolded.

“What is this?!”

Tia was also caught in an avalanche, but she was riding on the back of a divine beast she had seen somewhere while holding the reindeer by the horns.

“Yuu, are these skis?”

“Uh, uh uh… ?”

“Wrong?”

“Oh, no. It’s not wrong, but….”

Wouldn’t it be a problem to treat Wendigo on skis?

“Yu is snowboarding! Right?”

“Huh?”

Suddenly, I wondered why I was snowboarding, so I turned my gaze down from Tia.

There was a back of a divine beast with pure white fur….

“Hermy Shipper… !”

I was riding the Yeti like a snowboard.
