Hakai No Miko Chapter 6 (1/2)
The zoans, who continued to dash through the dark night for around one koku, finally arrived at a large rock that seemed to stand out as solitary island within the ocean called the plain After checking that there’s no one chasing the the scent of the vicinity with their noses, they stood up on two legs again at last (T/N: koku is an old measurement for time, it would be around 30 minutes now)
“Tonight ill rest here We will head to the village to”
Several aninus, were tied at the base of the large rock, which is towering as if looking down at those who are approaching, whilesure that they are hidden well behind bushes
Once the zoans built a sis, they ignited a fire in the blink of an eye by using the weeds and dry wood that they gathered
“Are you exhausted, 《noble Fang》?”
Shye heavily with her shoulders incessantly heaving up and dorinkles up her nose while looking ill hu her desire to collapse on the ground illpower, she throws out her chest
“I’》, and et this favour” (Shyemul)
“Huratitude is unnecessary You are the divine child of the Great God of Beasts We have to unify the zoan clans for the fight against the huure for that cause”
Wry s 《Ferocious Fang》’s manner of speech Everyone knew that he was the one 》 threatens his brethren by baring his fangs out of embarrassment, but when Shyemul approached and tried to lower the human child he carried, he remembered its existence on his back
“《noble Fang》, what the hell is this guy?”
《Ferocious Fang》 threw out this question due to Shyeround as if handling soh their brethren around them won’t speak up; they harbour doubts and suspicions about bringing a hu
“I don’t know…” (Shyemul)
“You don’t know?”
“Right Since I don’t know, I brought him with me” (Shyemul)
Everyone exchanged looks upon Shyemul’s reply that wasn't to the point
“Leaving that aside, please give me water and food” (Shyemul)
As soon as she was given dried ulped down some water For her parched body, the water was delicious and see her desire to drink more water, she soaks a cloth strip ater and and uses that to h Souh the lips and that Souma’s throat moved at its base, Shyemul is relieved
Whilehim drink water like that, Shyemul puts the driedthe urge of wanting to s it down on reflex as it’s been certainly quite a while since she tastedit until it completely turned into a soup
Ignoring her brethren behind her who kicked up a fuss the instant she fed him mouth-to-mouth, she next bites into the dried er
Her brethren, including 《Ferocious Fang》, were surprised To begin with, the differentiation between genders is little a the zoan Usually women also chase prey as huntresses and where battles are concerned, they becoht shoulder-to-shoulder with the ht be called especially allantly take care of someone else to such an extent, won’t the Goddess of Earth toss and turn in her sleep out of surprise, causing earthquakes?
Her brethren looked at 《Ferocious Fang》 trying to get so》 who desired help
No matter how much he looks, he couldn’t believe the hu to have thatat his grown body h not that of a soldier, he wondered whether he’s the child of a pioneering far soft palms, it didn't see hoes and ploughs Next he pondered whether he is the child of the group called nobles, but that won’t adequately explain why he had been put in jail together with Shyemul then
I don’t understand at all
But, co to the clear decision that he has to prioritize safely reaching the village for now, 《Ferocious Fang》 set up an alternating nightwatch and decided to sleep, pulling a pelt over his head

The next , at the same time that the sun peeks out at the eastern horizon, the zoans straddled the gnu-like animals and started to travel north The zoans boasted of a running speed that won’t even lose to horses if it’s over a short distance, but the way of using ani distances is more comfortable to them
Souain being held by Shyemul Not once did his consciousness return since then Once provided water and food, his body reflexively sed them down, but for some unknown reason only his consciousness doesn’t come back And not only that, Shyemul’s intuition sensitively felt that his body is rapidly weakening
And then, once they left the plains which took theradually turned into gentle slopes and the appearance of trees started to stand out The leaves had already fallen off the trees’ branches The sound caused by the cold northern wind blowing through the mountains and the branches, which had became bare, plain, fra
While proceeding on thefor 3 horses to walk next to each other, Shye slope on her left side and the cliff-like steep slope cutting through the ht said, and said,
“Hasn’t the path ie it while I wasn’t here?” (Shyemul)
“… It wasn’t us Rather than that, don’t lower your guard”
Upon 《Ferocious Fang》 saying that while looking sullen, Shyemul tilted her head in confusion
