"That's a giant spirit, isn't it? Wind ...... and sand. Is it a giant of storm sand?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... is right. You know your stuff."

"It's quite common in my country too, in winter. Over there, though, it's the snow and dirt giants of the frozen earth.

　I don't sense any pretense here, either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rather, there is only a glint of curiosity in their gray eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The young woman's words were so unruffled that Garudo felt as if he were talking to a veteran with more than ten years of experience, and he shook his head hurriedly.

　Next to Yuril, who was peering into the hollow with curiosity, Thor was calmly trying to measure the size of the giant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... It doesn't have a head?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, the head is a sign of intelligence, which Doba, the god of dirt, would not allow."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Doba, the male god said to crave a soulless world, is the creator of evil spirits and immortals who obey him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So the theory is that the nucleus of the Titan's spirit moves around the area that corresponds to the heart."

"You really know your stuff. Maybe I don't need to explain myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, no, I'd love to hear about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's the biggest problem?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, that d*mned sand and stone."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bottom of the hollow where the giants roam is completely obscured by a cloud of pure white sand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it is difficult to see a few steps ahead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then there is a hard sound that has been reaching my ears, mixed with the wind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is as if the stones that have been ejected by the gust of wind are echoing against the few remaining boulders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, first of all, it's hard to get close to it. Here they come."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the same time as Garoud's words, the giant's arms begin to move slowly upward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The monster's back curls up rapidly, and the lifted arms slam into the ground, shaking the air.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Immediately, a violent gust of wind hits Thor and the others at a distance.

　After a few moments of friendly atmosphere, Moe suddenly returns to a straight face and declares, "I'm going to go to the beach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can't believe they did this to Mu. ....... We're going to have to take him down!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're going to do it, kid. But he's a little too dangerous for a child. Will you stay here quietly?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, this time, we definitely need Moe."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you serious?　...... hmmm, it's like a pawn in the game."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't understand the metaphor, but it's definitely a key point. So, is there anything else you need to know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At these words, which almost confirmed his acceptance, Garudo clenched the hand holding his shield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Staring into the hollow, the guide tells the details of the monster.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The body of the sand giant is composed of wind and sand, so wielding a mere weapon is of little use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if you get close to the giant, you cannot see its feet because of the dust, and it is a dangerous area where you will be constantly hit by the heavy blows of stone pellets.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Furthermore, the swinging of the wind arm would generate a wide gust of wind that would easily blow them away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So it's hard to get close enough to do something about it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"First of all, we don't know exactly where they are. The stones are full of holes if you don't have a shield. I'd get hit and blown up while I was hanging around."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You've tried so many times, how could you have survived all this time?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And he never comes out of the hollow. We'll be safe once we get out of here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, how about we take it from here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's that wind. Bows and arrows won't get through. So...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess that means it's my turn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Staring at the feet of the roaming giants, Yuril continues to speak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If we set a trap, the question is how to make people step on it. ...... Are those remnants of rocky mountains?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the dust swirling on the ground, white chunks of rock peek out in places.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When asked, Garudo replied with a bitter look on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, it was higher three years ago, but it's all been scraped away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's great. But after three years of neglect, the spirit nucleus must have grown quite large."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sure it is. Well, if you do manage to defeat them, you can take all of that with you. Is that all right with you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the other end of Garudo's words was Saralisa, who had been completely silent up to that point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Without taking his eyes off the giant, Kanashi quietly replied.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"As long as you don't get in the way of me avenging my sister's enemies, you can do as you please. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. You can keep all the money, but if anything happens to me, I'll take care of it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know how far we can go, but let's drink to it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thor, who had already come up with some strategy, shook his head at Garudo's suggestion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the case of spirit monsters, they disappear after they are defeated, so the only proof of defeat is a magic stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you submit them as proof, they will be compulsorily bought at a low price, so it is basic to keep quiet even if you are lucky enough to defeat them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, since magic stones are also materials for monsters, private sales of them are forbidden.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since they can only be exchanged or transferred, they are difficult to exchange for cash.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For this reason, most of them are only offered to temples or processed into ritual articles with a large amount of offerings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, with giants, the story is different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Depending on the length and size of time since the occurrence, a large amount of magic stones are attached around the nucleus of the spirit of the humanoid monster.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The purity of the stones is quite high, which means that a large income can be expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The men grinned at each other and shook hands firmly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, when do we start?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The sun will be setting in a couple of hours. We definitely want to avoid that time of day, so how about tomorrow before noon?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. Then let's call it a day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Tor-chan, I'm hungry!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A child with a cute cooing belly jumps on Thor's back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He slides off without grabbing his leather armor and rubs his head against Thor's thigh in annoyance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, Saralisa told me. I hear you have a charcoal grill."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Umm, we didn't have time to prepare the meat this time, so we don't have much to offer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I've got plenty of meat for you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Isn't rock lizard meat so tough that it wouldn't taste good if you just roasted it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Maybe you don't know... The most delicious thing you've ever tasted. Once you try it, you'll be addicted for sure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, please tell me about it!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All right, follow me, girl!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Meat! Meat!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Meat, meat!

　The girl, the child, and the old man with the beard got along well with each other and had an ugly fight with each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a peaceful and joyful scene that one would not expect to see the next day before the showdown with the giant of the sand storm.
