We woke up the next morning, when I felt a (deja vu) to find a small red-haired figure sleeping on my chest, I pat him on the head to wake up.
"Well, finally you wake up, try to wake up for a good while but apparently you are very comfortable sleeping, now only the big girl is missing so we can go to see the people around the town," I say to her and look at Mikumo, who is on our side sleeping like a lady, with all the messy clothes in a strange position hugging a pillow and muttering something and coming out of his mouth.
After a while we were ready to leave, and Dorian was waiting for us outside his house at the entrance door. We met him and started walking through the town, showing him all the interesting places there.
I could hear Dorian speak with a proud voice when he was taking me around the different parts of his town, and he was introducing me to his friends, the old women and the children. Saying that a small human had come to his village, the children who had a height of 5 to 8 meters and wanted to take us like their toys, since every time they tried to grab me with their hand, but I moved quickly to avoid them and from one moment to another, a game was formed in which whoever caught me and won and I was escaping from several giant children.
The town was quite large and told me that there were about 600 giants living in the village, that really surprised me that there were so many giants gathered. If they wanted with their strength they could take several human cities and have better territories, but he said that even if they were offered a better place to live, they would not move since in this town it was where the eternal flame was and did not want to move away. And speaking of the eternal flame, I was now standing in front of that great flame.
Yuujiro: "What an incredible flame", I told Dorian that he was at my side contemplating the flame and the guardian God of his village.
Dorian: "If it is incredible, and according to what they have told me, this flame has been burning for 400 years and has never gone out, whether it rains and snow, this flame has continued to burn or illuminate our city at night."
"Ohhhhhh, there they are ... I finally found them, gyagyagyagyagyagyagya"!
We heard a voice behind us and turned to see alcides standing there with a smiling face and apparently he was happy to see me.
Alcides: "I've been looking for them all over town, but people kept telling me that they went there, or they left here, or I saw them go through here recently. And all that, until someone told me that He saw them coming to the eternal flame. "
Yuujiro: * sigh *, "okay, ... where do you want to do it, have our battle", I finally told him, since the only reason he was looking for us all this time is for fight, but seriously how fond of battle this giant must be.
Alcides: "Oh so you already understood, well my friend, follow me here, we will go to the place where I usually train that is a little out of town," he said, and I jumped on his shoulder and began to walk towards a specific address.
We were heading towards the place where Alcides had said and when we were walking through the town, Alcides was very happy that he started telling each person that passed in front of him who would have a battle with the strong little human who visited us, and thanks that is why we had greedy giants following us behind our backs.
It looked like a little army of a giant on its way to a war, well, ... I said small, but an army of giants was already scary enough. When they walked, it was as if the whole earth was trembling with their footsteps, since they were all walking together and at a synchronized pace, it was terrifying that if this kind of military power would go to human cities.
Mikumo: "Why are so many people following us?" Mikumo asked Dorian, as he was seeing how more and more giants joined us in our walk.
Dorian: "That is because Alcides is a warrior who is a respected and very strong warrior of our village who has challenged many to a duel and always obtaining victory, and now every time there is a fight with him, the warriors who have lost they get together to see it in their battles, and also for some it has already become like a show that they don't want to miss. "
Mikumo: "But I would understand that if the opponent of Alcides was another giant, but now he will fight with Yuujiro-sama who is much smaller compared to the giants."
Dorian: "That is because you two, although they are much smaller than us, we can see that you are very strong and that all the warriors who accompany us now can see it."
After crossing some small mountains and forests and already being far from the village so as not to cause any damage, we finally arrived at a place that was separated from all human life around us. When we arrived there were about 70 giants who came to be spectators and to see the battle that will happen.
Yuujiro: Oh, this is a good place where we can play all we want! When I said that, I jumped from Dorian's shoulder to the floor, then spoke to Flare.
Yuujiro: "Hey Flare, you can stay with sister Mikumo for a while, while I'm going to play with the giant uncle," I told her to let me go and stay here to watch along with the others. She just looks at me and nods with the head.
Mikumo: "Come here, little one," I see Mikumo calling her with open arms and I see Flare running to where she is just to sit on the floor beside her completely ignoring her, leaving Mikumo with a smile and open arms.
I began to walk to the opposite side where Alcides was waiting for me with a big smile on his face and prepared for what was to come. I prepare myself by taking out my two katanas and in my left hand I had (muramasa) and on the right a (onimaru).
