Afterwards, I helped build a tent for Dennis to live in.

I thought that Ujit and Yuzu would return as they were, but the two of them were as lost as flies in heat in the spreading complex.

The sweet smell began to attract young hosots like the Pied Piper. As expected, the first to appear was Yuso, who was very interested in food, and next was Mira, who followed Yuso.

Even a bear attracted to the complex appeared.

However, when several hosots glared at the bear, the bear got so scared that it ran away.

“What happened to the crossbow after that?”

“It’s smooth. Two additional bolts were produced and the number of spare bolts increased to 120.”

thank god.

“But from now on, there are not enough pulleys, and there are no bows or crossbows to disassemble. Due to lack of manpower, two per month will be the limit.”

It’s a little disappointing, but it’s okay.

Forging weapons basically takes a long time.

“Crossbow? I thought Lee was a person who uses a bow.”

Dennis wipes his sweat and looks at me.

“It’s not something I would write. Although I am worried.”

Even if you fire a shotgun, a bear will never die with one hit.

Mira subdued the bear with a crossbow. From the perspective of seeing that, I couldn’t avoid the so-called ‘striking hit’ coming.

“After putting in so much effort, isn’t it a waste to use a crossbow now?”

I tried?

“How do you know that?”

“You can tell by looking at your hands. Where the calluses grew, how the fingers were bent, things like that.”

Do I have something like that in my hand?

When I looked again, my hands were extremely lumpy.

“If you don’t know how to hold a bow, your fingers will end up like that. Most bowmen who learned on their own without a teacher have the same hand.”

As Dennis said, I taught myself how to use a bow.

“If you learn most skills using your hands properly, your fingers will not bend or bend. If you look at it, doesn’t Lee’s middle fingernail bend to the side? The bow appears to be held with the right hand.”

It’s true… my fingers are bent.

“If Lee wants, I can teach you proper weapon techniques.”

“I like it.”

“Then let’s start right away.”

Dennis smiled and stood up.

“The joints of young Ain tend to bend well, and it is easy to correct them. I’ll teach you everything from simple falling techniques to how to hold the bowstring, so you might as well decide to do it again from the beginning.”

“······Thank you.”

I got goosebumps.

I thought I could do it if I tried somehow, but it turned out that I was trying foolishly. After all, people can’t do anything if they don’t learn.

In modern times, the once light ‘opportunity to learn’ becomes heavy.

Since Shir, who was a party to the conflict, is not there, the four children are gathered together and talking loudly.

Meanwhile, as the sugar cane from which the raw sugar is to be extracted is being eaten little by little, Deberg, who is stirring the cauldron to prevent the raw sugar from sticking, has an expression of disapproval.

But they don’t know Hosot.

He glanced in this direction with an expression asking for help, so I turned my head away, pretending not to notice.

sorry.

Still, please look after these kids since it’s been a while since they’ve been playing together.

“Good. When dismantling the tent, just pull out the fixing pin embedded in the floor and pull down the handle on top.”

“I heard it in words, but Sir Heinrich of Deverg’s skill is truly amazing.”

“Am, Deberg’s technology is the best in the world.”

Even though I live in modern times, it is amazing to see this.

What Schwein created was a tent with a modern umbrella motif. It was heavy because of the wood, but all you had to do was open the tent like an umbrella and insert the fixing bracket.

All you have to do is put a fastener on the flesh spread on the ground.

However, Dennis has to find the leather to put on the tent and the leather for the floor. Because the leather is Hosott’s.

“Thank you from early morning.”

“Since you are helping me, I am also helping you.”

I turned my attention to sugar.

Before we knew it, the firewood had gone out, and the two Debergs began to coolly harden the sticky raw sugar. After lifting the wide flipper and eating the raw sugar, he seemed to be quite satisfied.

“Sir Heinrich. If you want, we can leave today, but would you like to come with us?”

“I like it. I like it.”

···Is it okay to leave so suddenly?

“Why do you want to go already?”

“I’m thinking of buying leather for the tent. Since the bow is now in this shape, I guess I’ll have to at least prune it and make it again.”

“How to shoot a bow? And what about the law?”

“I’ll teach you that right now.”

Dennis held an arrow in his bow hand and pulled out three arrows on each of his four fingers excluding the thumb.

“First, I will show you the shooting method that Lee should aim for. Please take a close look.”

How to hold a bow is the same as what Elysia taught me.

Dennis’ hands move quickly.

Papapak!

uh?

“Shoot like this, then insert the four fingers again and pull out the bow.”

Dennis naturally pulled out an arrow from the hand holding the bow.

“And shoot this again.”

Faba Park!

What is that?

It’s not like I can’t see my hands. I also understand how to do it. I can see it, but all six shots hit arrows within arrows like Robin Hood.

Of course, I shot it at close range.

That’s not a rare thing, but it does happen surprisingly often. However, arrows swim and fly like fish, unless special equipment is used, as in modern archery.

One or two shots might have been enough, but the fact that he fired six shots at rapid fire, even counting the swimming, meant that this person was a monster.

“What are you doing with your arrows?”

Schwein’s scolding voice shattered my thoughts.

“This arrow was left lying around for a long time because I thought I would never use it again. It’s already half rotted.”

Dennis handed me his bow and the last remaining arrow.

“Now, let’s try stringing the bow.”

I tightened my bow string as usual and looked at Teacher Dennis.

Soon Dennis started tweaking my posture, pulling and pushing my arms and twisting them. At the same time, unfamiliar muscles began to pull.

“All Ajin use their muscles biasedly when taking certain postures. Ajin’s body has many muscles, and each has a different purpose. In the case of Lee, who taught himself without a teacher, it would be noticeably uncomfortable. You have to work hard until the discomfort goes away.”

yes. teacher.

“Remember your current posture.”

There is no need to say that time is in abundance anyway.

Moreover, physical training was also part of my daily routine.

“Now, let’s shoot.”

phut!

When I let go of the bowstring, the arrow flew to a strange place.

“Kihihihi!”

“Did you see that?”

“Defeating the Rangers like that? That?”

How dare they face the great senior…!

“When you use muscles in an unfamiliar area, your arms tremble because the muscles are strained. Because the arrow shaft has rotted and lost its elasticity, it is unable to swim and fails. As a result, the bow’s trajectory becomes distorted. There is nothing to be discouraged at all. Just remember your posture.”

Dennis defends me and grins.

“It is better to practice falling techniques on the floor with leather, but since there is no leather, let’s do it on the bare floor.”

Dennis jumps towards the front and rolls to his feet.

I could only express it this way.

“···Why are you rolling on the dirt floor?”

Schwein must have looked the same.

“When you fall from a high place, rolling your body like this will lessen the impact. Would you like to give it a try?”

“···Are you not confident?”

“You don’t have to run like me. Just simply roll with it.”

I rolled around on the mat in the same form I used to roll on the mat during gym class when I was young.

“Sihyeon… What are you doing?”

Yuso… Shut up.

Just smile like other kids. please. I’m so embarrassed that I don’t even know what I’m doing…!

“Li, you cannot roll on your head while falling. If you do it wrong, your neck will break. Put your shoulder out first, as if you were going to hit someone with your shoulder. Your head should never touch the ground. The only things touching the ground are the shoulder blades, back, and hips, as opposed to the shoulders, and the soles of the feet.”

“So, position your body slightly diagonally. Do you mean to roll over from your shoulder blades to your back to your buttocks and then stand up?”

“That’s right. This is the basics, but the most difficult ones are the basics. There are people who can’t learn even after more than a month. Would you like to try again?”

“No. I think I know how to do it.”

It might have been different if it were just the two of us, but thanks to the four of us breaking things apart, that’s impossible.

“There is still time, so I can look at you more.”

“I really think I understand.”

Dennis glanced at the children, then nodded.

“It’s time to go learn how to write.”

“Sihyeon. We should go up now too. Because I have to learn how to write.”

“Here, I tell you to roll around more like a bean bug. Right, Ujit?”

“No, why me…”

I brushed the dust off my clothes.

It is a place of learning where you can study for just a few days and not go out for a month. I must attend today.

*

······I don’t know anything!

“···Sihyun. When you’re done, I’ll tell you the article personally.”

The priest speaks quietly.

“Thank you.”

I spent so much money!

It was natural for the five children to be laughing all over the place. I am unable to keep up with the progress of the class. I just copied the notes like a crazy person with a fountain pen.

You’ll find out what it means later.

I think I have bad writing there. How much nonsense did you have to write like that?

“That’s it for today.”

The sound of fountain pens being placed simultaneously can be heard, as if an orchestra is matching the rhythm. In an instant, all the children except me started running away from the learning place, and I was the only one to come face to face with the priest.

“···I know that you haven’t been able to learn how to write for quite some time for unavoidable reasons. It’s inevitable to fall behind other children.”

“Sorry.”

“No. First, let me tell you about Elvish, which is the basic language.”

The priest came up to me, sat down in front of me, and picked up an old fountain pen. Soon, the fountain pen began writing concise writing with a curved shape resembling hiragana, one of the Japanese characters.

There are a total of thirty articles.

“You must be able to use all of these. Other kids have been learning this for a month, so if they can just write this, they will understand half of it.”

The biggest problem when you first learn to write is that you don’t know how to write, and someone has to recite the meaning to you.

But I don’t need to.

Because I have writing that only I know.

“Can you tell us all what this means?”

“Sure.”

I began writing down the meaning of everything the priest said in Korean. The priest who saw the Hangul must have sensed consistency in my writing and looked at the Hangul before looking at me.

“I have a question for you.”

“Is this about this article?”

“That’s not what I’m curious about. ···Vision, why do you call Amor Shir?”

The priest’s dark green eyes look straight into mine.

Was this person also dissatisfied with that? ······After asking this insinuatingly, they will pressure you not to call Shir’s name.

I thought it would happen someday, but I never imagined that the first time would be as a priest.

“Because that’s my nickname for Shir.”

The priest shakes his head.

“The name Shir is no longer the name of Amor.”

“······Yes?”

“It is said that one of the thirteen servants took Shir’s name.”

“──────?!”

What are you talking about all of a sudden?!

Are you saying you knew about Shir’s name? Or are you looking at me? ······This is not it!

“You knew that, but you kept your mouth shut until now?!”

“This world is the creation of thirteen servants, so if the servants want, the world will be transformed. Memories and the world…”

······Is this what the servant means?

Why is the servant trying to make Shir walk the thorny path?

“Why?”

“What?”

“Why is the servant taking Shir’s name…? How does the priest know that?”

The priest looks straight into my eyes.

“Look into my eyes. What color do you see?”

“······Dark green.”

“It appears light blue to other hosots.”

···Light blue? Looking again, the priest’s eyes were green.

“The power of the servant distorts perception and reality. I received a small blessing from Mother Earth. Compared to the Shir you revived, the power is as small as dust.”

There is no understanding of the situation.

No, it was something I didn’t want to understand. Chills started running up my arms. When a servant twists human cognition, it’s like humans are machines that have received instructions.

“Everything in Pangea is the servant’s creation, so all things have no choice but to flow according to the servant’s will. It’s as if Shir’s name has disappeared. The only ones who can defy it are those who have received power from another servant or have been given permission to do so.”

Another servant? What the priest is saying is that all servants pursue different things?

“Are you saying that you allowed any of the thirteen servants to call Shir by his name? Why give Shir a different name? And why do other people have bad feelings towards me when I call Shir’s name?”

You have to at least draw an outline for the rear!

“It is impossible for shallow people like us to know the deep intentions of the servants. Shir’s name was taken away from you, and calling upon Shir’s name that was stolen from you.”

Something doesn’t fit together.

Shir’s power is the blessing of the Mother Goddess. If a priest has received the blessing of the Mother Goddess, his memory must naturally be erased.

Because Shir was blessed by Mother Earth.

Otherwise, does this mean that the servant who is trying to take away Shir’s name is not the Mother Goddess?

“Not only that, but even the free will we think of is the will of a servant. If so, I intend to help you according to my free will.”

······You want to help me?

I don’t even know what I should do?

“···Will you help me?”

“I cannot help you unconditionally. I will listen to the details and raise my hand if I think it is justified. We can’t disobey the servant, but that doesn’t mean we have to cooperate with the servant who stole our granddaughter’s name.”

The priest looks at me with soft eyes.

“Now, let’s finish learning the rest of the text.”
