Wait!

　A beautiful voice echoed.
　The owner of the voice was a goddess.
　But it wasn't a voice that echoed in my head as usual, it came directly from my ears.
　What surprised me most of all was.

''........Is this voice, Miss Noah?''
　Apparently, the giants can hear it too.
　The giant, who has been expressionless all along, is surprised.
　He's grabbed me, and his hand is tightening on me.
　It's painful.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. The boy is my follower.
"Oh... That's right. I'm sorry about that.
　He suddenly let go of my hand.
　I was lifted into the air.
　And of course I was falling a few feet.

Ow.
　I fell on my ass haphazardly.
　Well, but.
　It doesn't matter much.

"Goddess.
　He wobbled up and called out.

'Huh. Be thankful, true. You're lucky to be my follower.
Um, what's this?
"...we, the Titans, serve the Titan tribe. If you are a follower of Lady Noah, you are as much a part of my family as I am.
Oh, I see.
　This is a sudden story and I haven't been able to keep up with it, but this old man is a member of the Titan tribe and seems to be a companion of the Goddess.
　So it seems that Goddess-sama's words made the Titan quiet down.　

　However, I wish you had helped me sooner.
　Normally, I would have interfered immediately.

''Thank you, Goddess-sama.''
　But first, let's be thankful.
　Seriously, I thought you were dead.

You're a coward. The Titans only eat things that come from the ground. They don't eat humans.
'What?　Really?
... hmmm. I don't eat meat.

　The giant was a vegetarian (vegetarian)!
　Then don't look at me and tell me you're hungry.
　You're shortening your life span.

'But why did you blow up Nina-san?
I was surprised by the suddenness of your attack. I thought I gave it a slight push.
　So that's how powerful it was.
　The Silver Rank was down in one blow, unable to react.
　This old man of a giant is quite substandard.

''Oh, true, Grandpa. I'm afraid my time is up. Then take care of the rest.
　The goddess left that and then her voice disappeared.
　What do you want me to do?
　The old giant man nodded something.


'Oi, Mister Tuckey!
Hey!　Giants!　Away from the truth.

　Huh?
　Fujiyan and Lucy, who were supposed to have escaped, came back.
　I told them to run away.

'T-That, Takatsuki-sama!　Did you drop the giant's finger with that dagger!
　Nina is astonished.
　'Oh, speaking of which.

''Err... I'm sorry. I cut my finger......... Can you attach these to each other?
I don't care. It will grow back in 10,000 years.
Oh, that's good.
　It's a long-winded story, but apparently they forgive me.

".........
　I have a normal conversation with the giant and everyone freezes up.

'We're all fine. This giant was one of us.

　◇

　I explained the relationship between the Goddess and the old man giant to everyone who was surprised.

'What, so this man is one of the goddesses you believe in, Mister Tuckey?
Oh, Jesus. I didn't know you were a true believer in the Evil One!
Luce?　To say that in front of me like that...
　Everyone is surprised.

"....we Titans are the guardians of the Titan tribe. ....But when our Lord lost the war, the Titan tribe, including us, challenged the God Realm to help our Lord.
Gigantomachia.
I see. They were gods who fought against the holy gods, so they were described as evil.

　It's a myth.
　How long has this old man been alive?

The seal of petrification was placed on him some 15 million years ago.
　Mind, I've been read.
　I'm scared.
　Also, I can't imagine living too long.

"Speaking of which, you said you were hungry?
　Let's change the subject.
　Lucy is scared out of her wits back there.
　Don't worry, this old man only eats vegetables.

Fujiyan, do you have any bread or fruit?
Oh, oh. I've got it.
　With the storage magic, I'll have the food served to me at random.

'.........oh, I miss it. ........to be able to taste the bounty of the earth again.
　The old man was happily eating bread and apples.
　When Fujiyan handed him a bottle of wine, he drank it, too, and it looked delicious.

''Well I should thank you for that.
　Based on the size of his body, I thought he hadn't eaten enough, but he was satisfied.
　The giant looks down at me.

'....daughter of the beast tribe. ........I'm sorry about earlier.
No, no!　Was I the one who attacked first, La!
　Nina is in a hurry.


What?
　Pop, Nina is enveloped in light for a moment.

''Ooh, something about it makes me feel powerful........
　Nina is scurrying around looking at her body.
'Let's see.......yo!
　Nina lightly kicked a nearby rock.

　Zuo-oh!　And the rock that Nina kicked at me instantly transformed into a large rock and proceeded to rattle the trees around me.

'Wow, great,'
How did you do it?　Lord Nina.
No, no. I was just going to give it a try. This is great.
　Bun Bun, he throws a spinning kick in the air.
　I don't know how she can do three turns in the air.
　Oh, I made a crater in the ground as soon as I landed.
　Nina-san seems to be surprised by her own footwork.


　Large eyes turned towards Fujiyan.

''In that case, Giant God-sama!　Could I have that severed finger, please?
　Fujiyan says he likes the giant finger I cut off.
　Lucy and Nina have a subtle look on their faces.
　Do they think it's in bad taste or something?

''Well if that's what you want, let's do it.
Thank you!
　There's probably a reason why Fujiyan wouldn't get something meaningless.
　I'm holding it up like a precious thing and putting it in my storage magic.

...Now the Elf's daughter...
Okay, yes.
　Lucy grabs my clothes sleeve with a nervous look on her face.
　She still looks a little scared.

"...you're not in control of your magic, are you?
Wow, you know?
You see the magic of the storm?
　I knew it was a storm.
　I remember when I tuned in.

"...lend me your wand.
This?
　Lucy gives the giant the wooden wand she always uses.
　I hope it doesn't break.

　The giant pulled out a strand of his own hair and tangled it around his staff.
　The giant's hair instantly became like a letter of light and was sucked into the staff.

''........Let's give it back. ........This should make it easier to use earth magic.
Yeah, huh?

　Lucy, who received the wand, fearfully chanted a spell.
'Earth magic, rock bullets.'
　A large rock jumps out of the wand, as big as Nina-san was earlier.
''Whoa!''
　I said as I walked right past Nina.

'I'm sorry!'
　Will no-contact be fixed?
　However, the earth magic that hadn't succeeded at all during training was easily triggered.
　You must have gotten a pretty good item.

''Fluffy........''
　Lucy is staring at her wand with a wispy shiver.
　She looks impressed.

Well, that's it.
What?
　Hey, what about me?

Hey!　The truth was the hardest part, wasn't it!
　Lucy was angry with me as well.

........Excessive desire will destroy you, but.......
　Hmmm, when you put it that way.
　You want me to be satisfied with the status quo.

"...if you need help, you can call on Miss Noah. I will help you, just this once.
　Oh!　So you're a helpful character.
　If you ever need help with anything in the future, you can help me.


　Do me a favor.
　I'm not going to tell you now.


　Oh. It's been a while since I've had a choice, 'RPG player' skills.
　I don't have a wish or anything like that right now.
　No, there was one.　


'Can't you save Master Noah from the underwater temple?
I cannot do that. It will take a devotee to reach the Underwater Temple for Lady Noah to regain her power. And that, my dear daughter, is not going to restore your power.
　It seems like there's a rule.
　Didn't I hear anything about that, goddess?

　Here the old man, the giant, laughed lightly.
''Well it's a good intention to hope for the Lord rather than your own wishes.
　He was praised.
　Apparently the choice was the right one.

'Well I'll give you one piece of advice.
You want my advice?
"...the spirit language of Kisama. That's the language of the gods. Don't do it.
　Eh, yeah.........
　If I stop using spirit language, I can't use spirit magic.

''.........Spirit language is only meaningful if the Titan God Race uses it. If you want to use spirit power in your human body, you should see the spirits, talk to the spirits, and get to know the spirits.
I don't see it, sir.
　If you can do that, you won't have a hard time.

"....and look.
　He grabbed my head.
　A strange magical power is flowing through my body.
　Is this 'attunement'?

What?

　There was a murky stream of light in front of me.
　Green, blue, yellow, white, surrounded by various lights.
　I've never seen this in Tokyo, but I wonder what it would be like to be surrounded by thousands of fireflies.

　The light goes out.
　The giant's hand had left his hand.

'....Do you see it?
Yes, sir.
　I see it.
　So that's a genie.
　There were a lot of them.

...that cannot be seen by anyone without talent. ...but it seems you're quite fond of spirits.
"....spirit language is an order from the Titaan divinity race to the spirits. ....spirits do not like to be ordered around.
"...see the spirit, talk to it, and get to know it.
...be diligent.　

Thank you.
　I've learned a lot of useful things.

So farewell, then.

　The giant disappeared into the ground.
