Alright, everyone is almost reaching their next evolution. Bubu will hatch in around an hour from now, he has been taking his sweet time in that egg I've left with the twins, who mostly didn't participated in battle due to my request, but still attacked from afar with their magic enchanted with my buffs.

Nonetheless, once the damn Bone Dragon got taken care of, a sudden peace took over the entire place. I guess it was finally over. Although I didn't really planned on taking the night in here or something, but it might be worth it to go down there, as Luminous had said, to ask for directions, I guess.

We quickly gathered across the skies and decided to descend but as we did, the many giants inside the village slowly began to crawl out of their houses and fortresses, seeing us as if we were divine figures, even if we were tens of times smaller than theme except for Luminous.

"T-The Gods are descending…"

"They defeated the great Bone Dragon…"

"Kneel before the gods!"

"OOOH!"

Suddenly, most of the nearby Giants that saw everything, who were about twenty-five surviving warriors who were guarding the walls of the small village kneeled in the floor and seemed to see us with great reverence.

"They got the wrong idea…" Sol said.

"This is the first time this happens to me, what do I do?" Wondered Fiere.

"Well I am literally a god though so this fits me…" Luminous said with a smug, rubbing his long scaly chin.

"Let's just say we aren't gods but just strong people." I sighed. "Not like it matters much, we are not going to stay here for long. Though I am starving, I wonder if they got some exotic food to dig in."

With a strong appetite, I quickly reached up to everyone first, looking at the leader of the group of warriors, a giant whose tanned skin was covered on hundreds of small to medium sized scars, brown hair, and missing his left arm, while still using his right arm to swing a giant axe he had. He even had an eyepatch in his right eye and was almost half if it wasn't for the few hair growing on top of his head, which he shaped into some sort of rowdy mohawk.

The giants' clothes were all just a bunch of stitched leathers from monsters that live here, and also exoskeleton from the bug monsters. I guess it must be hard to make proper clothes when they're so big and they lack trading routes with richer areas with lots of cloth to sell. Due to such appearance, they mildly resembled barbarians.

"Relax, we came here by accident, we aren't gods." I said in my little girl form, the giant slowly raised his head as he looked at me, his eye shone as the light of my divine aura reflected into his single eye.

"Y-You're not a goddess? But you're filled with such immense divinity!" He said in surprise.

"Ah… Well, it is not like that… It is just magic, we are quite a strong adventurer party exploring the dunes. We are looking for a friend and we found ourselves here." I said.

"S-Such people of such strength exists outside of the boundaries of this endless sea of sand?" Wondered the giant. "I suppose I have no rights to doubt your words, small savior."

He was quite polite, quickly standing up with the rest of the giants.

"Oi, Kireina, I am actually a god, don't tell them I am not one!" Luminous angrily said.

"Well you're just a giant lizard to me so I doubt they'll believe you much…" I sighed. "For now just pretend to be something else. Also wouldn't it be dangerous if they just know you're a god, what if the info leaks and a demon lord comes for us because you wanted to be recognized as a god or something?"

"R-Right…" Luminous quickly began to sweat a lot. "Okay I get it, don't get mad at me now…"

"A-Anyways, this is my party…" I presented everyone.

"Did that wyvern spoke?" Wondered the leader.

"Yeah! He's a talking lizard." I said. "Our good friend Luminous… This is Fiere, the Wandering Mad Maid, and this is our depressed hero of sunlight, fitting, right? There's a bunch of sunlight here." I said.

"Who are you calling a talking lizard?!"

"Mad Maid? I am the maidservant of milady Elfina!"

"Depressed hero…? Alright I guess it kind of fits."

"Bwahahahaa!" The giant began to laugh at our interactions. "I can tell by your jokes that you know one another for a while now. Come, let's go inside my village, we are a humble tribe of giants trying to survive in these arid mountains. Name's Halberd, I am the Village Chief."

"Eh?! You're the chief?! But you were fighting there…" Said Fiere.

"Well yeah, as the chief I have the obligation to fight and defend my village with everything I've got." Said the Giant, their customs seemed different than those of other people in the mainland. "Do small people's rulers do not fight for their countries?"

"Well, no, for the most part we protect and defend them as they're crucial and important for the maintenance of our country…" Said Fiere.

"Well that's quite cowardly but I am not here to criticize our saviors." Halberd said without even saving up his words. I guess the giants do see small people as cowards, makes sense. It is hard to not be a coward when you're rat sized compared to these giant guys.

Halberd swiftly led us to the interior of the village, as we were greeted by dozens of Giants there were roughly a hundred of them in the entire village. Not so many, but seeing how big they are, I can't imagine their population being larger than this.
