Chapter 209 – Goddess and Lamia (6)
Although not all life forms seen in space were like this, most species connected the head and torso with a neck.
Shinpago, a non-living machine, and Bakgi, a wooden doll minion, also had a neck, and Sky Leon, which was larger than a ship of considerable size, also had a neck.
Head out of town and walk about ten minutes. We reached a point where the road narrowed.
“This is Sky Leon’s neck. We call it the Scale Forest Road.”
Ranran raised her hand.
“Go!”
“Ranran. Please call me sister.”
“Why? Ranran is friends with Naa! So, she’s friends with Gaa too!”
“She is Na-a’s friend, so isn’t she the friend’s older sister, that is, Ran-ran’s older sister?”
“Gasp!”
Her seasoned mother, Cheon Sol, disciplined her daughter.
Ranran raised her hand again.
“Go on!”
“Ask.”
“Skyleon’s head is big, but why is Lamia’s village small?”
“There’s a reason…”
Gaa’s eyes became faint.
“There aren’t any males that can breed with Lamia… It’s rare for Lamia that goes outside to come back to the village. In other villages… It’s a bit like that.”
“Huh? Let’s go. Then how did you guys survive?”
“When I was very young, there was a grandfather in the village. He passed away, and it became like this.”
“Aha!”
I passed through the scale forest path while listening to Gaa’s explanation. The emerald-colored tree was so pretty that I stopped for a moment to look at it.
Dad! The tree is very pretty! But I don’t feel any vitality! Is this tree by any chance the scale of Sky Leon?
“That’s right. These are Sky Leon’s scales. If there are too many scales, Sky Leon gets a skin disease, so he cuts them off periodically.”
“Then…”
“It’s logging season in a few days, so I’ll give you some.”
“Yay!”
Sophia cheered, shaking her fist. Then she wrapped her arms around Nawa Ebni’s neck.
“Yohan! And our Avni! Make good items with Skyleon’s scales! I’ll trust you!”
“It’s a good item…”
I remembered a tool I had never made before.
“Abni. Let’s make it good together.”
“Yes…!”
Abni clenched her fists and steeled her spirit. After finishing the sightseeing, she passed through the forest again and saw a strange creature in the distance.
Her head resembles a squirrel, and she has eight legs. It was an animal the size of an adult’s fist, with alternating dark and gray striped fur and a tail.
-Kwaang!
The animal stood on two legs and waved its remaining six legs in the air. Sophia was impressed.
“Wow! It’s cute!”
“Mom! Ranran wants to catch that! I want to catch it and drink its blood!”
“I’m also curious about the taste of that animal. I hope it has taste and nutrition.”
-Kwaang!!
The animal, unable to understand the bloody conversation, continued to threaten us. Are you a strong guy?
I looked at Gaa, and he went forward.
“I’m a flying aram.”
“Flying squirrel.”
“It’s a squirrel that only lives in Hanleeon, and its feet are delicious.”
“The flying squirrel is a wicked sea animal that digs under the scale tree and sucks Sky Leon’s blood! It kills it!”
“Wow! Ranran eats first!”
The flying squirrel wasn’t as strong of a personality. Ranran died immediately from the hand he swung and became a delicious snack.
“Hyaaa! Drink it! Mommy takes a bite too!”
“Wow. It’s not a delicacy, but it could be a delicacy. It’s great.”
“Hmm…”
Is it that delicious? I want to try it too… Tsk tsk tsk. Eating it raw isn’t a good idea.
He plays really well with a squirrel. It is a heartwarming sight.
Seuuk
“Everyone seems to like squirrels.”
“Can’t you hear Lulu?”
“It’s strange to eat it raw in the first place. It’s delicious when grilled.”
It was so straightforward that there was nothing to refute. She is Naa’s older sister, and I thought she was a sloppy Lamia because of her work at the hot springs, but she turned out to be a Lamia with enough thought to be chosen by Sky Leon as a guide.
“I want to eat more ranran!”
“Then, would you like to go and look for the squirrel? If you look closely under the tree, you’ll find it.”
“As expected, it’s Zuyin! You’re smart!”
As I watched Ranran jumping between the trees with excitement, I became curious.
Scale trees grew quite densely along the scale forest road. On the other hand, there were few trees around the village.
Assuming that reptile scales are like a human head… Wouldn’t Sky Leon have alopecia areata?
“Okay, everyone, let’s go downstairs. We’re going to pass by here on the way back anyway.”
“Yes!”
It was such a devastating thought that I never said it out loud. This issue was a topic that attracted aggro both in fighting games on Earth and in the community.
If it were a battle, I would have said it without hesitation, but I am now standing on Sky Leon’s neck.
If you get cocky and shake your head, you’ll fall to the floor… But since Sophia said you can summon, it doesn’t matter, right?
“No.”
“Yes?”
“There weren’t many trees around the village. Haneul Leon, do you have alopecia areata?”
“…”
“…”
…
The women looked at me in shock. Sophia twirled her fingers next to her head, and Cheonsol pursed his lips as if to say, ‘Are you crazy?’
Gaa also smiled awkwardly, probably because he was embarrassed.
“Hey. She further told me that she was quite a crazy person, and I thought her nickname was “Crazy Person,” But it turns out she was really crazy. It’s not hair loss. Sky Leon likes to keep his head cool, so we shave it off regularly.”
“I see.”
Curiosity solved! After that, I arrived at Back Village without any incident except for getting hit in the back.
Degurrrr
Rolling around
A strange race lived in the village. A species with eyes and mouths was rolling around on a green tumbleweed.
Degurrrr?
“I didn’t come today to pick out a butterfly to clean its scales. “A customer has come, and we are showing them places.”
Degurrr!
“Is it an honor to see you after such a long time? Nice to meet you!”
After greeting the Lamia, the tumbleweed rolled towards us. Sophia placed the tumbleweed in her hand.
“This is a species I know. They are a species that feeds on microorganisms, germs, and curses.”
“Here, my role is to manage Sky Leon’s health and rescue sea creatures like the flying squirrel mentioned earlier.”
“Please wipe the rain every once in a while.”
Naebi looks too much like grass to be jealous that a smelly man touched Naa’s body. There are even no pistils or stamens.
“How do swallowtails reproduce?”
“Johaan. “No.”
“?”
“This one has no gender. Girl, no, no, no.”
“!”
Furthermore, I realized why I said no. I was worried that you might end up spraying semen on the butterflies like you did when you had no choice but to spray semen on the crops to protect the fairies!
No matter how wide my defense range is, it’s a bit…
“It’s wrong.”
“Oh, I guess it’s okay.”
“Gwangma. She’s worried about her daughter too. I have to go. “Is it possible that Sky Leon’s back is the queen’s territory?”
“Yes. There are dozens of villages like this.”
Sophia was disappointed. She was so disappointed that she took my arm and crossed hers. Thanks to her soft breasts, Naawa Cheonsol’s slander disappeared from my mind.
“I was expecting it because it was Sky Leon, who is shrouded in mystery, but all he has is wings on his back? How about somewhere else? “A tail or something…”
“Because the area is so wide, it would take us a day to go there on our own. “I will return today, and when Sky Leon wakes up tomorrow, I will ask you to move it.”
“Is there any other place to see today?”
“The neighborhoods are all similar, so it’s a bit…”
Gaa expressed his disapproval. She seemed genuinely in love, but somehow it smelled bad.
It’s not that there’s really no place to guide you, but it seems like you’re acting because you have an ulterior motive. It seems that Sophia noticed it just as I noticed it.
Sophia’s breathing became heavier as she wrapped her arms around me.
“Lie! How many times have I been the victim of Yohan’s lies? Do you know how I can’t even notice other people’s lies? Yohan is good at fighting, but he’s also good at lying!”
Is this my insult or my compliment?
“I have to go. “You don’t want to guide us?”
“Sister? “Is that really true?”
“It’s a shame.”
Gaa broke into a cold sweat as the three women pushed her.
“Oh, no. Actually, because of that, I wanted to go back to the village quickly. “It’s… A promise.”
“Ah.”
“Ah.”
Sophia and Cheonsol nodded as if they had remembered something. I became very curious because they were talking amongst themselves except me.
“What promise?”
“You don’t have to know Gwangma yet. I have to go. Furthermore, I know you’re anxious, but isn’t there a procedure for everything? First, I hope to meet the master’s expectations.”
“Yes. I was careless. Then, let me introduce you to Haneulreon’s famous ranch.”
*
-Ppongppong
-Moomeumme
-Ko. Ki. O.
Pigs, cows, and chickens lived on the ranch. On average, it was about twice as big as the cows, chickens and pigs I know, and although it had a few unique features, it did not deviate from the species.
“The ranch is managed by this eunbi. Just like human hair falls out, so does the grass fall out. “They live off of that.”
“The flying squirrels were delicious, but why don’t you grow them?”
“We could raise animals that feed on Sky Leon’s flesh and blood, like flying squirrels, but in the end, by shortening Sky Leon’s lifespan, we are also eliminating our future. So our ancestors brought in creatures that eat grass.”
