The feast lasted until late at night, but it wasn't done by dawn.

The villagers would get tired, and so would we.

I tell the head of Jukachi that we need to rest at the right time.

The chief offers us a place to sleep.
He offers us a place to sleep in his house.

Are you husband and wife?

And asked me. Maybe she's asking if you can share a bed with her, of course, I'll share.

Leah grumbles, but if you ignore her, you'll be assigned another bed.

I thought we'd have separate rooms, but it looks like Gel doesn't know the difference between rooms to begin with.

"Yes, it's nice and open. It's nice and open.

If you look at the village chief's family, they all slept in the same space. Men, women, and children. But there is one space with a tent.

It's a room where children are made.

I blush when I learn what it means, but I fall asleep without thinking too much.

I'm tired from the long trip.

I'm so tired after fighting a pack of goblins and hobgoblins today and being the guest of honor at a banquet until late at night.

Exhaustion is wearing me down and I'm falling asleep.
It's all too soon. I'm falling fast asleep.
The Sleeping Fairy stayed with me until morning.
The next morning, I shook Leah awake.
I stare blankly around.

A woman in native dress is bustling about, doing her chores.

The scene reminds me that this is Jukachi village.

As I recall, I received a welcome in this village yesterday.

Muttering that, I notice that Luna Maria is not there.

Where could she have gone?
And then Leah tells me.

"The girl is out there milking the goats. She's a guest, but she helps the girls in the village.

"It's just like Lunamaria,

And look at the rear

What, you think I'm not going to do anything?

Not really, though.

Then what is it?

No, do we want to help Lunamaría too?

"Milking a goat?

"I'll even carry the grass. I got a lot of good food yesterday. We owe you a debt of gratitude.

"I think it's a goblin slayer and we'll call it square.

But Leah eventually went with us.

"If you guys work all day and I sleep till noon, you'll think I'm a little b*tc*.

Yesterday, I was going to tell her that she thought I had drunk ten glasses of horse milk wine, but I decided against it.

I didn't want to throw away a miko who is in the spirit of hard work.

Me and Leah get permission from the chief and go out of the gel.
Lunamaria is in an enclosure next to the chief's house.
She is milking the goats just like Leah said.

The girls are milking the goats.

"Wow!
"Dexterity!
"I don't think I'm blind.

I'm muttering to myself.


I was aware of her dexterity, so I'm not surprised, but it seems to be an oddity to the people in the village.

Well, I still have a hard time believing that she doesn't have eyesight, too.

The other day she told me I had a bad habit of sleeping and she brushed my hair. She used a comb to fix my sleeping habits.

It's great that she fixed it, but it's also great that she noticed.

They seem to be able to detect the slightest difference in airflow.

He seems to be able to tell my hair by the difference in air resistance.

Simple enough to hear the theory, but the perception was amazing to see it in action.

Even the God of the sword cannot do such a thing.

Once again, as I was marveling at Lunamaria's abilities, she looked at me and smiled.

"Your footsteps, Master Will. Good morning.

Smiling. Her smile was like a saint in a religious painting.

I guess she doesn't like the fact that I'm staring at her, so she counters with, "I can milk a goat, too.

--I try to resist, but the goat refuses.

But the goats don't like it.
It was just like Mother Militia.
She too did things that the goats didn't like.

When I pointed this out to her, Leah turned her nose away and said, "Then why don't you do it, Will?

Of course I'm going to do it, so I'll take over.

"You don't have to put so much pressure on the goat's milk. Just squeeze gently and it'll come out fine.

And run, in fact, the goats milk.

Meh!



And let out a happy squeal.
Ayesha rolls her eyes.

You're good at that, aren't you?

That's right. We had goats on Table Mountain.

You've been living at the foot of Table Mountain.

It was the summit, but I was too lazy to explain, so I said, "Well, that's about it," and she seemed to agree.

I grew up on the plains, and I want to climb that mountain one day.

I'll show you then. By the way, Ayesha, can I ask you something?

This morning's breakfast is goat's milk stew and bread.

No, no, I mean, we're looking for the prairie people's dungeon, do you know where it is?

"That's a prairie dungeon!

Ayesha was surprised to hear those words and fell on her ass on the spot.

Awww. ......

And panicked.

"What's so wrong to ask?

I ask her, but she affirms with a "hmmm".

The prairie dungeon is a place where only a select group of prairie people can visit.

"A sacred place?

Yes. But it's a more dangerous place to be, and it has a guardian and poses a danger to anyone who comes near it.

"It seems like a lot of work,

--But," he continued, "we don't have a choice, do we?

"We don't have the option of not going, do we?

Lunamaria is quietly making up her mind and Leah is also very motivated.

Ayesha is dismayed by this, but she knows what we are capable of, so she doesn't say anything.

I understand. I'll ask the chief for permission.

Perhaps you can tell me where the dungeon is.

Thank God for that.

"But you have to promise me two things.
"Two?

Yes. The first is to make sure you come back safely.

"Okay. I promise you that.

And the second?　I ask, and she says, loosening her mouth.

Secondly, I want you to eat your breakfast that I'm about to prepare for you. Luna Maria's special goat's milk stew, which she worked very hard to make. The stew in Jugachi village is the best in the steppe.

She said that and smiled like the prairie wind.

I am
Thank you.
And thanked them and went back to the gel with them.
