-I couldn't leave them alone, they said in such a way that they wanted to be involved with me.
Their words were consequently conditionally accepted in our village.
I was not sure if they were true or not, because I did not know on the spot whether they were true or not. My intuition was telling me that it was safe to trust them, but they did not have that feeling.
That is why they were allowed to be by my side, conditionally. So the man who had talked the most with those Dongs was the one who had the most voice, and that man was coming to the village for the time being.
The man, Biller, wanted to stay by my side for the time being, so I asked him to spend some time under my watchful eye, but it seems that he is basically trying to go where I am going.
I was concerned that this Biller man, like Mr. Illoum, would go out of his way to fulfill everything I told him to do. But these winged people don't seem to be that inclined.
It is true that they care about me, but they don't put me first.
Why do you care about me, Mr. Biller?"
'...... don't know. It just ...... makes me feel kind of strange. It's like I'm praying to our god.
Maybe because I'm a godchild. And perhaps they are involved with the God who is influencing me. But I haven't told the winged ones of that fact. There are, of course, Ran, Sinorn, and Sireba here. And Reimer and the others. Not one of them has told them that I am a godchild.
Someday, when I am truly friends with the winged ones, I may tell them, but it would be too imprudent to do so now.
Come to think of it, it seems that the winged people can't easily find the location of this village from above, probably because I want to make sure they don't find it. Mr. Lan said that maybe we are on the verge of becoming a village where you can't come without being invited.
Maybe the God of the winged people is the God who is influencing me. If that might be so, I would like to visit the place where that god is worshipped once. I would have to be convinced that it is safe to go to ...... but I am also intrigued by the places where the winged people live.
Mr. Biller really didn't seem particularly interested in anything other than trying to stay by my side. In the first place, there seems to be an aspect of winged people that they look down on beings who cannot fly. Mr. Biller himself said. He said that he thinks that flying beings are supreme, and that is why he has little interest in those who live on the ground. He said that if he had not seen me, he would not have gotten involved.
I don't really like this kind of "which is higher or lower" mentality. I think it is best if everyone can get along with each other. However, since there are many different kinds of beings in the world, I have decided to accept that there are people who think like the people with wings.
Mr. Biller knows that we are not telling him the whole story. But he never asked us more questions than he had to.
As I looked at Mr. Biller, I also thought about the people of that ethnic group. The people of that tribe are being treated well, and they are all getting better little by little. Dong told me that the ethnic people who did not tell my name or anything else to the winged people were acting as if they did not want to antagonize our village.
---Despite the troubles, I believe that I can be friends with them if I have that kind of feeling.
Of course, I understand that it is difficult to get along with everyone, but I hope that we can build a more cooperative relationship with the people of that ethnic group. I will have to discuss this with Mr. Dong and the others.
In this village where I live, there are many different kinds of people.
People like me, Mr. Lan, and Mr. Irum and others. Among them, Mr. Irum admires me.
Even among the same people, Fito and his ethnic group have a unique way of thinking.
Beastmen like Gaius and Dong and the others. They all believe in gryphons.
Elves like Sileva and her people. Frenes and other spirits are regarded as gods.
--- And in addition, the winged people who were here this time. I have not been able to ask them in detail what they believe in or what they consider to be their deities. But they are probably sky-riders or related to them.
The number of people involved is gradually increasing. With that, I am getting to know a lot of ideas. In the midst of all this, I must rethink how I should move and choose.
