I explained the situation of Toyok.u.mo"s back once again to the beastmen that I was taking them with me.
Sena too, pa.s.sionately narrated how the place is a great place and that she wishes they come together with us
It seemed to have some effect as I started to spot people who were listening seriously
Right, this might just go well.
I looked around once again to the beastmen after finishing my explanation
Well then, I would like the people who are willing to come with us to step forward. Anyone?
I asked them a question.
But - no one came out in front.
Muu ...... can"t be helped. Nonetheless, a single persuasion isn"t good enough.
I might have to come back in another day.
When I thought so, someone walked out of the crowd making a slithering sound.
"...... shu~. I"ll follow you with my daughter. ...... shu~"
A female Naga, with an upper body that of a human and snake as her bottom half, said so.
Next to her, a young girl of the same Naga race were there.
"Thank you, you"re coming with us?"
"...... shu~. It"s as elder said. we have no future staying here. ...... shu~. I want to give a future to my daughter. ...... shu~"
Naga said so and sought for a handshake. I shook her cold hand
"I welcome you aboard. So, what is your name?"
"...... shu~. My name is, I Merujia. She is Platina, a daughter of mine"
"I see, lets get along. Merujia and Platina"
"Yes, likewise. ... shu~" "Nice to meet you. ... shu~"
I smiled to Merujia and Platina, then I looked over the beastmen again.
"Anyone else?"
To my question, I could hear small voices of pondering here and there
It"s quite a better result than a little while ago.
Will at least one or two more come up?
While I was thinking so, I heard a voice from next to me
"Hey, you said you were Kaito? Is there alcohol in the place we"re going?"
It was Garaf of the tigermen race.
"I"m sorry but there is no alcohol right now...but, I m currently growing fruits and crops in order to make it."
Garaf snorted in discontent however he grinned.
"Well, if there isn"t nothing I can do. Doesn"t sound that bad to make one yourself"
I"m surprised by the words of Garaf, and tilted my neck.
"No way, you will also come with us?"
"That"s my plan. ... What, you got a problem? Ahh?"
I shook my heads as I smiled wryly looking at Garaf who looked shy
"No no, we welcome you with an open arms. Welcome abroad, Garaf"
After Garaf decided to join us, it was in an instance, that others soon followed
Perhaps, Garaf was a boss like existence, other than the elder, in the camp as expected of his big att.i.tude. Thats"s why, everyone started to pitch in
"d.a.m.n, Garaf is going with them.... Well then, I have to go."
"Yeah. I wonder if I should go aswell"
"...... Nothing comes from being here...."
It wasn"t just one or two person..
After one persuasion, it was decided that every beastmen will come with us
No way, ... I didn"t expect it to go this well...
But, what a relief ....
For now Beastmen, all went back to their tent and gathered their luggage.
Sena and the rest also went away from me to help Grandma Mora pack.
I who was left alone looked at beastmen who were packing up their tent with bright faces with a deep emotion.
I saw one beastman who stood still doing nothing
It was the werewolf boy who threw rocks at me, from before
I ran up to him, and extended my hands.
"You as well, lets go together."
The boy despite looking frightened was about to grab my hand.
But -
"I am a proud werewolf! I don"t take helps from humans!"
He ran away after rethinking right before he received my hand
"Wait! Where are you going all alone!"
I tried to chase after him but the huge body of Garaf stopped me.
"You don"t have to chase after him. Just let him go."
"What do you mean let him go, he is just a child!?"
"But, he is a man. Sometimes, Men has thing they don"t want to yield despite the fear of death."
"Bu, But just for that!"
"If he decided not to receive your help at this point, it just means that this is his determination. Even if this is just him being stubborn, we have to respect it "
"What if he were to die out there!?"
"That"s all up to the boy. We have no right to bind him."
"That ...... do that ......"
However, Garaf may be right
If I were to take him by force, it just becomes an act of stealing his freedom and chaining him down. Than, I will be no different from slave traders.
I swallow these diffcult ideas to swallow and looked at the direction the boy ran away to.
I wish in the path that he went, a happiness that will heal him exists.
I sincerely hoped so.
"...... Amazing, it really is floating in the sky."
Everyone raised their voice like that.
Now, in the back of Toyok.u.mo, there are a large number of the beastmen.
It was just a moments ago where we finished bringing everyone here safely through Sena and my small gravity control device.
Everyone"s heart seemed shaken at the sight of this land floating in the sky.
Some of there were crouched on their knees as they nearly fainted due to their first time flying in the sky, even then, they showed a look of curiosity and excitement
With the help of Sena and the rest, I handed out food and water.
The food was a boiled potatoes and grilled dried fish.
Again, people became vigilant against potatoes, but it seemed like everyone was hungry as they ate it despite their vigilance.
Reputation of the potatoes were different from race to race, some were thrilled, while others tilted their neck.
Apparently there were a big palate difference between some race.
Because it is was an important discovery, I will be sure to remember it.
That said, even those who didn"t really like the taste still ate it without leaving any leftovers.
After the meal, many wanted to go to a bathroom, so in here again with the help of Sena and the rest guided to the public toilet that I let worker rabbit create through remote control.
Honestly, I wanted to be able to prepare a house for each of them, but because I didn"t know the outcome, I couldn"t issue the instructions to build them.
Oh well, everyone brought their tents and thanks to the lifeform balancer keeping temperature in check, there should be no case of needing a House for the mean time.
Since the water park and the baths also are available, there should be no inconvenience.
And, anyway, it is better to build while consulting with everyone.
Unlike Sena and the rest who had similar physique to that of a human and were able to adapt quickly, but with this many different race, building houses uniformly would raise voices of discontent
I need to discuss how to allocate the land with them, so building houses would be a little further in future.
And As I looked around, beastmen who were chatting happily could be seen.
Probably having a belly full of food made them feel comfortable.
I became relieved that their tensions were beginning to melt.
But, there was also those who had a dark face.
It was the elder of the camp, Grandma Mola.
I approached her and got her attention through bending my knees
"Ms Mora, I"m sorry about the werewolf boy."
I"ve already informed everyone about that incident.
Everyone said their unwillingness, but some also simply said that it couldn"t be helped
However, only grandma Mora, looked sad as her shoulders were dropped.
Probably, she must be feeling responsible the boy.
I was also responsible for this.
"I promised to resettle everyone, but I didn"t expect such an outcome...."
As I lowered my head, grandma Mora shook her head gently.
"Mr. Kaito, you did nothing wrong."
"Even then, but he..... because of my idea...."
"No. Mr Kaito, acted out after great consideration. It was my fault. I who couldn"t take care of that boy"s feeling is at fault."
"...... I wonder where he went?"
"I do not know .... But, he won"t go back to that place any more."
"I hope that he stay safe.."
"...... I hope so as well"
Saying, mora old woman is spitting a sigh, and then laughed to snorting.
"Regrettable sac. Nikki got immediately pull the Kaito foot."
"Please talk like that is good."
"I"m sorry I"m sorry. ... process if any, decision of that child also Mai there is a difference in part of the journey. Nara, I and not done praying seafood Arankoto to the journey."
"I agree……"
"Right. I can"t keep on being down. I must look at what"s to come."
Grandma Mora shook her whiskers a little and kindly narrowed her eyes.
"Now, Mr Kaito, it is not the time to care for a decrepit like me and do what you must do"
I nodded and lifted my voice at the beastmen who were relaxing.
"Everyone please gather around! I want to talk about something important"
