The first to answer my question was a head that I couldn’t tell if it was an alpaca or a llama.

“Wait a minute, there seems to be some misunderstanding…”

“Why don’t you answer the questions I ask and keep saying something else?”

“Wow!”

As excuses came out instead of answers, I also put out my fists instead of my words.

Is it an alpaca or a llama? Anyway, the fluffy fur of camelid animals does not seem to absorb shock as well as it seems.

I immediately lowered my upper body and lowered my head, leaving behind him flying away while spewing out his characteristic sticky saliva. At the same time, a large hand passed over my head.

The guy with the face of a bear was looking at me with a dumbfounded expression, as if he was trying to grab me from behind.

“What are you looking at? If you’re not going to answer, get out.”

It didn’t matter whether the opponent was someone who resembled a bear or a real bear. The person I am now is of the mindset of being able to extend my fist to others without hesitation.

They say that parents whose children are taken away go blind, but I never thought I would experience that.

“Kwaaak! Wow!”

To others, it might seem like a spectacle of a person beating up a bear, but unfortunately, everyone around me was on the bear’s side.

“Stop it! Oh my!”

The person with the face of a fox tried to dissuade me, but this time I responded with my fists.

“How… How could it be so violent…”

I couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded as I looked at the animal faces looking at me with devastated expressions.

“No, these crazy kidnappers are now cosplaying as victims?”

“So that’s a misunderstanding…!”

“Fucking misunderstanding! I saw it clearly with my own two eyes, but what a freezing misunderstanding! If you really don’t want to lose everything, quickly bring my kids.”

I don’t know, but my eyes must have been quite murderous, so they all looked at me and kept their mouths shut.

“You want me to bring you?”

At my urging, the head of the bison finally opened its mouth with a reluctant look on its face.

“Ji, not right now. It’s almost over, so please wait a moment.”

“Ah… not now? Are you saying you took my children away and are now doing something suspicious?”

“It’s not something suspicious!”

I put the hook right in the jaw of the cowboy who was trying to make an excuse again. After that, he sat down without being able to speak.

If it had been any other time, I would have tried to calm my mind at the pitiful sight, but now something else caught my eye.

“You bastard. You’re the bastard who took my children, right?”

Yes. This bison head was one of the three that took Asha and Adele while I was sleeping.

I tried to beat my opponent even more, not caring that he was lying down from the anger that I couldn’t bear, but I heard a voice dissuading me.

“Huh… Please, please leave it at this point. Before it can no longer be reversed.”

Unlike the others, the voice of a slightly older man.

I don’t know if it would be the right attitude for a young person to listen to what the elders say, but there was no time for that now.

When I checked the person who spoke, it turned out to be a turtle. Not only did it have an animal face like the others, but it was a really big turtle itself.

For a moment, a little curiosity arose about their identity, but I tried to suppress it and changed the topic back to the children.

“You are the ones who have done something that cannot be undone.”

Asha and Adele are not children born to me alone. My mother is much more scared than me, my father.

I don’t know if everyone here knows that I’m still alive because I’m coming out right away.

No, I need to correct that. If my faith was the same as usual, everyone I hit so far would have died.

Nowadays, you can kill one or two people without raising an eyebrow, especially if it’s the head of an animal.

“The children are safe. We have no intention of harming them.”

“You have no intention of doing harm? Is it such nonsense that I, the children’s father, took advantage of my sleep and arbitrarily destroyed my spirit and then took my children away?”

If there was such a thing as the ability to transform anger into faith, I wanted to smash that turtle’s shell right away.

“That’s enough. I don’t have time to play with words with you guys here.”

Even if what I saw was a lie and what was said was true, it was impossible for me to remain calm.

At least until we make sure the kids are okay.

I decided to ignore everyone here and start looking for the children. First of all, the most likely candidate for children was, of course, the hole they emerged from.

“Get out of the way, unless you want to be chewed alive.”

Threatening comments are sent to those blocking the entrance. I don’t have a hobby of chewing things alive, but it was entirely possible for Argen.

So, it means that you can fully keep what you just said. Of course, everyone who heard my sincere words hardened their expressions.

“How dare you come in here! No one except druids can enter here!”

Druid. A word that was neither unfamiliar nor familiar came out. It may be a very common case where a word exists on Earth but has a slightly different meaning here.

“You can clearly see that my kids went in there. Could it be that you kidnapped them to turn them into druids?”

Whatever it was, kidnapping itself was unacceptable, but it was even more unacceptable if all druids turned into such animal heads.

What do Asha and Adele look like? Babies’ faces are usually pretty cute, but they weren’t that cute.

Even taking into account that I am short, I have a pretty face of a different class. If I dared to touch it, I was willing to squeeze out even a faith that was not really there.

“This…! Considering the situation, I tried to keep my hands full, but you don’t know the extent!”

The bodies of the druids guarding the entrance began to change. It wasn’t anything grand, everyone was transformed into an animal body equivalent to their own head.

” Krneung! ”

They had transformed into a variety of wild beasts, such as wolves, leopards, and hyenas, that would be difficult for humans without any tools to face, and they radiated intimidation with the eyes that only animals can give.

If I were someone who really didn’t have anything, it would have been intimidating enough to scare me.

However, coincidentally, I was a god according to the classification of this world.

Although it was not possible to show off divine power by consuming most of the faith, the hardware itself was still different from that of ordinary people.

Even if you do not strengthen your body with faith, it is rather difficult if your body, which must always contain faith, is ordinary.

When I approached without hesitation despite the threat, the animals, trying to protect their home base, ended up rushing at me.

“I told you to quietly get out of the way, so you chose to punish me.”

I struck the cheek of the wolf that had jumped to the right height to bite my neck with my long sword.

Whether a person or an animal is hit in the face, it is equally incapacitated.

“Oh, no!”

As I cleared away everyone blocking the entrance, the druids who were still in human form violently tried to dissuade me.

“Stop, let’s do what they want.”

It was the turtle earlier that calmed the druids.

“I don’t think he’s the kind of person who can be blocked by blocking him. If I had known it would be like this, it would have been better to ask for understanding from the beginning…”

At the turtle’s words, my steps, which I was trying to ignore no matter what he said, came to a halt. Because it seemed right to correct that statement.

“Funny sound. Even if they came to visit politely, what parent would obediently leave their child in the hands of suspicious guys like you?”

I ground my teeth. In the first place, the important things right now were Asha and Adele, but there was more than one price they had to pay.

Not only had he kidnapped the children, but he had to be held accountable for what he had done to Sirocco.

Given the circumstances, it was clear that the children were inside, but I still had no idea why Sirocco was not answering my call.

“…What on earth are you doing here?”

As I entered the cave, I asked a pure question.

Since it was a place where children were kidnapped, I would have been angry if I had seen something terrible or seen something terrible, but it was a place where I couldn’t figure out what was going on.

It could be considered a place where they lived, but there were no living facilities or daily necessities, and although it was a simple historical site, there were many things whose intentions were unknown.

When studying history, if there is a relic whose purpose we are not sure about, most people come up with the hypothesis that it is a religious object or a tool used during ancestral rites. That’s all I could think of, too.

Religion and ancestral rites. These are words that can’t help but make you feel anxious.

If they had kidnapped my children to use them as living sacrifices, I had no intention of showing tolerance even if the children were safe.

The reason I haven’t killed anyone yet is not because I’m soft, but because I lack faith right now and half because I’m worried about the children’s safety.

Fortunately, the internal structure was not that complicated or deep, and I was able to hear what I wanted to hear right away.

“Daddy!”

My body spun around before my brain realized it.
