138 They talk.




 The wind is blowing in that place. It's higher than the ground. When they look down, they see a vast forest. The greenery of nature seen from above. It was a common sight for those who were there to discuss it.


 For those who lived on top of the mountain and looked down from above due to the nature of their race, the foot of the mountain was not a place where they lived, but a place where they looked down.


"What do we do with them?


 The man's gaze was fixed on the ground, far below where they were.
 The man, and all the people present, were clearly different from the humans. A point that would obviously be avoided or reduced to slavery in a human country, such as the Kingdom of Fairytorff, where non-human species are regarded as lower life forms. ---It is the wings on its back.


 They look the same as humans, but they have wings on their backs that do not exist on humans. In addition, those wings allow them to fly in the sky. They were the kind of people who were talking to each other.




"What do we do about it? It's none of our business. We just have to stay out of it.


 One of the women said.


 Theirs was a tribe that had lived there all their lives. They had lived higher than the ground without ever having to interact with those who lived at the foot of the mountain. They look down from the sky at the people at the foot of the mountain and think how inconvenient it is for those who can't fly. In fact, they look down on those who can't fly.


 The sky is their place to live. They love the sky so much that they don't care about anything but themselves and their living space.
 That's why the woman and the rest of us couldn't understand why the man was asking us what we should do.


 The sky they live in. The people who live at the foot of the mountain rarely come up there. Even if they did, the sky was their domain, and they had no intention of losing on the sky, let alone on the ground.


 ---So, there was no problem in letting it go. That is the opinion of the majority of them.


 But the man who first asked the question said.


...... I agree with that. It's just that when I look at that girl, the human girl, it makes my heart flutter.
"My heart is fluttering? You're not in love with a human girl, are you? I'll rip your wings off if you do that while you still have me!
Wait! No! It's not like that! That's not what I meant. It's just that I feel like I'm praying to our gods, or something. And that girl is with the gryphons who live in the sky just like us. It's true that they live on the ground, but I feel strange, and my intuition tells me that I shouldn't leave them alone. I'd like you guys to take a look at it for a minute. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who feels this way or if you guys do too. ---- She's probably not a normal person.



 I'm not sure if it's a good thing that I'm not the only one who feels this way.


 A man who prays to God for them more than anyone else.
 A man who doesn't usually joke around and loves the sky.
 Because of what he says, they have heard things that those who live on the earth usually do not care about.
 They basically don't care about the people who live on the earth. So, except for the man, they were only aware that the number of people living on the earth had increased. But with the man's words, they decided to perceive the girl he was talking about.




 ---"They, they, they talk.
 The winged ones. Those who live in the sky. They perceive the girl.
