After a short flight, we arrived at the snowy city of Estona.
I thought it would be better to buy warm clothes, but I heard that everyone was not particularly cold even with normal equipment, probably thanks to the Phoenix Seal.
So we quickly took up lodging and gathered information.
According to the residents, the top of "Phalgara," a sacred mountain visible from here, is the object of people's belief as the place where the god sits.
At the same time, however, I also heard a disturbing story.
It is said that in Estona, once a year, the most beautiful woman in the city is sacrificed to the god.
This may sound like an abominable custom, but it is said that those who are sacrificed are not killed and are released within a few months to a few years.
Moreover, it is said that the residents are mystified by the fact that they seem to lack memory of that period of time.
The gods often give the people of the city rare flying dragon carcasses and ores, which they sell to protect the lives of the people of Estona.
Hmmm. It seems a little strange to call it a symbiotic relationship, but is it really the work of the Goddess of Thunder?
I'm a little skeptical myself. Fulga is a goddess, in other words, a woman. I don't think she would want to sacrifice a beautiful woman.
Magmael shook his head in agreement, but Ophir's opinion was different.
Is that so? He just likes women, doesn't he?
No, I'm not a womanizer. ......
Well, it's a hell of a lot better than being called a man-eater.
It's not that it would ruin the image of .......
I'm a little uncomfortable taking everyone with me if they say I'm just a womanizer. I don't want them to like me.
Oh, jealousy? But you don't have to worry. I am yours and yours alone, no matter what.
And with that, Xana snuggles up to me.
--"Gulp.
"Oh?"
Zana, I don't think it's a good idea for you to run off like that."
Magmael pulls her away just before he does so, as if to remind her.
But," he said, "I'm afraid it's too late for that.
"Hmmm, but it looks like it's too late for that now, doesn't it?"
What? ......?"
The actual "I'm not sure what to do with it, but I'm not sure what to do with it.
I'm not sure what to do with the rest of it. So, take care of me.
I'll be with you forever," he said. Isn't it the most soothing?
Oh, oh, ......
The man was fully armed with Tiruna on his right arm, Alka on his left arm, and Ophir behind his back.
What are you all doing?
Naturally, Magmel's angry voice echoed in the room.
I'm not sure what to do.
Anyway, we decided that if Fulga was really a womanizer, it would be better if we went to visit her ourselves, so we decided to visit her with all the members of the group.
Terra-sama had told us that we should be the last to visit her, and she is the goddess of destruction.
Therefore, we headed for the top of Falgala tomorrow morning with more caution than usual.
