The Outer God Needs Warmth-Chapter 257: Will cruelty ultimately win? (7)
But I don't think I'll be able to hear the answer.
The boy stops talking and looks behind me. I don't even have to look back to see who's coming.
It's harvest time.
"I guess no one says anything in this country, even though they're so rude to their benefactors?"
Tiana Amphibia.
A girl whose skin had turned blue because she was in critical condition and was in harvest time approached me.
"And you're so low-class, touching a lady's chest without manners. Is that the average in this country?"
The boy's face turned pale at Tiana's contempt.
Huh?
I thought you'd go crazy because you were cursed at, but you're just shrinking back quietly?
It turns out that you didn't just turn on your second brain.
Tiana's country is one of the strongest in this area. That's why you stayed in the same place I was staying.
The first place right in front of the Royal Academy. Even if you enter the mansion where the royal family works, it means that you are someone who deserves to be treated well.
When I first heard that, I thought it was strange that I was being evaluated so highly.
How much was Aurora loved?
Anyway, Tiana asked the boy without hiding her anger at all.
“What is your name?”
“I’m sorry!”
Then he quickly lowered his head. Then he turned around and tried to run away.
“Your name.”
But Tiana asked him again, wondering if he would let him go.
But the boy, who was scared, didn’t answer and just ran away.
The problem is that running away from here doesn’t solve anything.
The situation doesn’t get solved if you run away. In fact, it gets worse.
Tiana looked at the boy running away with an angry expression and then turned her head towards me.
“It’s unfortunate that we have to talk about such unpleasant things.”
She introduced herself again. Her name ended with Tiana Amphibia, but she introduced all the names that came before it.
And it’s just a habit, so I just let it go.
I like young harvesters who are in high positions.
They give me warmth even when I’m not there, and they’ll give me their children.
No... ... .
Actually, I’m not sure about this part.
Is it that if you’re a descendant of a harvester, you can definitely get warmth, or is it that you’re a lower concept of Tisha who reproduced without becoming a harvester and could get warmth?
But if you leave me out, there’s almost no chance of you coming back up.
So.
No. Wait a minute. Something just crossed my mind.
I have an example.
Cho-seol.
She was Eun-jae’s descendant. And the gap between when Eun-jae died and when her descendants moved after that. Then I check if I got warmth.
Hmm. Hmm... ... . None.
If there is no harvester, does that mean that even if there is a contract, I cannot get warmth through their descendants?
No, what is this complicated?
If I just increase the harvester, the world will collapse without being able to bear my weight.
The descendants of the harvester have already finished their contract with me. If I leave them alone in a state where they just need to put me in, they won’t get warmth.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
It’s frustrating. What kind of restrictions are attached to them like this?
Life is definitely not easy.
If it were God, he would have solved all of this in an instant. No, there wouldn’t have been this cold in the first place.
Anyway, I saw Tiana worrying about me in front of me.
“It’ll be hard to live in a country like this, so when the country stabilizes, won’t you come with me?”
This person is asking that because he is genuinely worried about me.
Even if they escape from a life-threatening situation, most people still want more.
Animals are like that, right?
No, some animals repay kindness, so they are less than animals.
At least the girl in front of me right now is not like that.
Another country.
Now that we have enough harvesters in this country, right? Now that we have the chance, should we go to another country?
I have made several harvester farms, but it is only one country.
If we can spread it to other countries, it would be better to do so.
“Then wouldn’t this country become a country that doesn’t treat its benefactors properly?”
Before I could answer, someone else interrupted the conversation.
I turned my head to the side and saw Sorindigas walking toward me.
When Tiana greeted Sorindigas, Sorindigas greeted her back. But the words he spoke were slightly ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ different from when he greeted me earlier.
If there was a word like the ruler of a certain land earlier, this time it's a word like the blue flower of Maldovia.
The words you use depend on the opponent. It seems complicated, but if the opponent is fire-attribute, it's the same as going with water-attribute.
"No. I heard that you were staying in the place I'm staying now, and this country treated you as well as they could."
Yes. That's right.
As Tiana said, I was treated well for someone with the ability to heal people. In this world, losing a limb or having your internal organs damaged isn't a big wound.
If you go to a hospital, you can get treatment without paying that much. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either.
Those who can't get treatment are either poor people who are banned from going to the hospital or people who are cursed and can't be treated.
That's why there are many people who retire after being cursed by monsters while hunting them. There were a lot of soldiers like that in the Atlan fortress city. Monsters are better at using curses than people.
The problem with wounds that can't be easily treated is that they are entangled with curses or diseases that make the condition worse even if you use magic.
I think I'm a talent that I don't want to miss out on, since I can somehow do that even just once.
"If you feel that our country is lacking, I will fill it. Princess Tiana. If someone important is in trouble, what will we become if we send them away like that?"
"If you really think it's important, it would be better to have an escort. So that they don't get hurt by a ruffian who touches a woman's chest so casually."
Oh.
An escort. I did have one. I used it as bait to lure out a witch named Maleficent.
But that escort turned out to be the witch I was supposed to lure out.
At those words, Sorindigas looks at me in surprise.
No, he really looked at me with a surprised expression, so I was surprised instead.
Maybe he didn't know the whole situation exactly? Sorindigas isn't a harvester, so I don't know what he heard and came to visit.
Tiana just came out after eating and came to help me because she was surprised.
"Did something like that really happen?"
"Yes."
Actually, it's not a big deal.
Honestly, I don't care what happens to Belle's body. Whether it's something that would be in a thin book or something that would be written in the Book of Witch Hunts.
It lacks realism compared to the cold.
This endless cold is the only truth, and nothing else.
Similarly, what kind of emotions do you feel when a hardcore game character you watch on a monitor is going through something bad?
You'd think that this kind of game is the original, or that the event CG isn't good.
It's an analogy, but in reality, it's colder and more frozen.
"Who on earth... ... ."
But Sorindigas seems similar to me. There's no disgust or anger in Sorindigas' expression when he says that.
Strangely, there was fear in it. No, where in my behavior was there an element of fear?
“It’s not gentlemanly manners to question someone who has been shamed. If that’s the case in this country, you need to be rescued.”
Tiana said that with open contempt for him. Then she ignored him and looked at me.
“It’s time for class to start, so Belle and I will go back to the classroom. I hope I can hear some proper punishment so that I can feel relieved.”
Then Tiana put her hand on my arm and wrapped it around me, and led me out of the place.
Behind me, Sorindigas called out.
“I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen, Princess Tiana.”
But Tiana didn’t answer him.
A little further away, Tiana lowered her arm.
“This country is not a very good place to live. What on earth do they think of women... ... .”
What do you think women are?
Oh. Is this it?
Does this mean that women's rights are low, and that they can't say anything even if they are assaulted? I briefly looked back at my memories of the harvest.
No. There's nothing like that.
In this world, there isn't much difference between men and women. Of course, there is consideration for those who give birth, but that's it.
Rather, they consider race.
Like Polaris, a bear-man, or Kanna, a tiger-man, honestly, I think they are different races, but in this world, race is they say.
If they actually mix, they mix.
Of course, it doesn't mean that a creature that combines the strengths of two creatures comes out, but it unconditionally follows the race of the mother.
So it seems that in picky families, there is a rule that you can't marry someone who is not of the same race.
Even in a faded world where there is no such rule, they married until they had a spatula chin, so it's not that strange.
And if you really want to discriminate between men and women, the Kingdom of Maldovia is worse than this country.
No, is that why you thought I was in such a difficult situation by projecting it like this?
Well, it's easy for people to think based on themselves.
"Bell. Are you okay?"
"Yes. I'm okay."
No, I know it might sound bad when I say it like this, but I'm really okay.
Furthermore, if you look at the cause, it's because the top class like Tiana has increased, and if you go back even further, it's because of the rebellious corporation incident.
The problem is complicated and linked. The chain is in the middle, and this chain will either explode like a nuclear explosion, or cause terrible pollution and ruin the world.
"You really look fine. Did I help you for nothing?"
Tiana said, quietly studying my face.
So I answered.
"Thanks to you, I got a chance to talk like this, so this isn't a bad thing."
It's not easy to meet the top class of another country and get a chance to go to another country with them, right?
Hehe.
