Grandma Magali listened to the reports without hesitation.
But when she heard one report, she froze.
“They’re shattering the glass and scattering it?”
One of the scouts nodded nervously.
“Yes, they’re scattering it like a line.”
“Thank you, you can step back now.”
◆◇◆◇◆
Grandma Magali was unusually thinking carefully.
“What’s wrong, Grandma Magali?”
“To be honest …… I think we should call off the operation. But I don’t think we can stop it. They’ve already set up a diversion. Neither your dad nor the kitty can stop it now.”
“What’s so dangerous about the scattered glass?”
“It’s because I can’t read their intentions, and that is what’s dangerous.”
“Even though it doesn’t make sense?”
Grandma Magali sighed.
“The boy is no fool. I’m sure he has some terrifying intentions.”
“Grandma Magali, you really have a very high opinion of the boy. I’ve never seen you evaluate anyone so highly.”
“It’s better to overestimate than to underestimate. Especially in battle.”
◆◇◆◇◆
The next battle was a defeat, just as Grandma Magali had feared.
The more shocking thing for us winged people was that we suddenly lost the ability to fly.
We had taken pride in our ability to fly.
And now it was suddenly destroyed.
The winged tribe that could not fly, a tribe that had nothing to offer can only perish.
I will never forget the pale face of my father.
I, too, must have looked pale, though it was not noticeable since I was not pale, to begin with.
Grandma Magali was indifferent.
Suzana, whose previous words were reverted, began to criticize Grandma Magali’s strategy.
But when Grandma Magali gave her a glare …… she immediately ran back.
◆◇◆◇◆
Grandma Magali said that she would like to discuss the future with me.
My father just nodded silently.
My father also thought that this was the only place he could use me.
When my father left, he was afraid to check if he could fly.
It seems that all the winged tribesmen have fallen into a fear of flying.
“Well …… Ardelheid. Have you prepared yourself for this?”
“Yes, I can finally be of use to everyone.”
""
Grandma Magali smiled with a clear expression.
“I guess I’m done with this world, too.”
“Grandma Magali!”
“The boy is not a fool. He’ll take good care of you. You’ll have to seduce him with your body.”
All I could do was nod.
“We’re going to give him the white flag. We’ll let you know how the negotiations go. You should see how the situation goes and do the same too. I’m sure the winged tribe can’t fight anymore.”
“But you don’t have to take the responsibility alone, Grandma Magali …… I’ll do my best too, so…”
“No, I’m the one in charge. I have to take responsibility for the deaths of my men. The boy’s men have killed a few people, too. I have to settle this grudge.”
I couldn’t do anything but shut up, hug Grandma Magali and cry.
As I returned to the winged tribe’s village, I too felt a sudden surge of fear.
I would naturally and fearfully check to see if I could fly.
It sounded ridiculous to be afraid of flying, but I was actually afraid.
When I returned and reported to my father about what to do from now, he nodded silently.
◆◇◆◇◆
In the midst of my anxiety, a further blow came.
For some reason, a large number of wild boars suddenly appeared.
They were devouring our crops.
We, the winged people, who could no longer fly, had nothing to do.
Everyone was in despair, and the village was filled with crying voices in the daytime.
We didn’t even have the energy to fight the wild boar.
Defeat, the inability to fly, and the attack of the wild boar.
If it’s one, I could endure it.
If it’s two, I could still manage to hang on.
But three at the same time, my heart was completely broken.
If this was that young man’s idea, how horrible would he be?
It made me aware of what Grandma Magali meant when she said he might be a demon inside.
◆◇◆◇◆
In the meantime, a messenger came from Grandma Magali.
“I’m going to raise the white flag, so you can blend in with the rest of us who are moving. I’ll talk to them, so you should go see the boy.”
That’s what the letter said.
I turned to face my father with a serious expression.
“Let’s get them to surrender and accept us. If we don’t, we’ll be annihilated.”
My father nodded with his face being lifeless.
“I’ll leave it to you ……. Is there anything you need?”
“I think we only need a few people.”
I bowed and was stopped as I left my father’s room.
“Ardelheid, I’m sorry.”
I shook my head.
“It’s finally time that I can be of use to everyone. I’m glad.”
I meant it.
I was just afraid that I didn’t know what kind of person the young man was.
Then I finally understood.
“This is what Grandma Magali was talking about when she said she couldn’t see him.”
Grandma Magali listened to the reports without hesitation.
