Since childhood, Riot has never trusted anything or anyone but himself. Of course, it also includes those creatures that are beyond human reason yet remain in many people's belief that they exist, such as; God, Astral Being, and Spirit.
However, one of them turned out to appear in front of Riot at this time.
Lifting her body wrapped in a beautiful white dress from the top of Riot's bed, a beautiful green-haired woman began to look right into Riot's eyes and said.
"I am... honestly is a Spirit Queen, of this world."
At that moment, Riot's mind froze, because he suddenly heard something he hadn't expected.
But unfortunately for Riot, the thing that will surprise him is not over just with the appearance of a creature that he has never believed them existence so far.
Raising her index finger towards Riot, The woman also said.
"... Also, you... It will certainly die within 2 weeks from now."
"..."
Hearing that, Riot couldn't help but fall silent with his blank face, while holding a wooden bowl filled with soup, which he was originally going to give the woman.
***
Turning back the clock a bit before Riot met the mysterious green-haired woman, 1 day earlier.
It's been 5 days since Riot fought the goblins and got a mysterious tattoo in the forest. This also means this is the 20th day since Riot's arrival into this world as a hero, although it is not considered so.
In these 5 days, Riot has tried several times to attack where it may be the nest of those goblins, thinking that it will harm the village in the end if it is not dealt with quickly from now on. However, in the end, Riot's attempts still failed.
Although he was initially able to beat several tens to the point that a hundred goblins who could inexplicably find his location were very precise, the arrival ratio of the goblins was getting longer and longer, even more so, that it made Riot forced to stop his bombers, due to exhaustion.
In addition to the goblins' problems, Riot has now managed to patch a large hole in the wall in his new house, with the help of a villager who has lent his axe to Riot before, 'Edwurs'. It seems that he has a lot of experience in wood processing and so on, and at the same time is the only lumberjack in this Seihul Village.
Unlike before, Riot is currently walking in the hills near the village, with a bow in his hand. As you might have guessed, Riot came here to hunt. But of course, the target of the game is not ordinary animals such as deer or rabbits.
Riot's target for hunting today is a bird that has white feathers with a size of more than 60 cm, named 'Night Eagle'. As the name says, the Night Eagle is a bird that has a fairly close appearance to an eagle but is only active at night like an owl. So Riot should be able to hunt down this bird safely unless something unexpected happens.
For examples... Like this.
"Ngchaaaa~!!"
Realizing the existence of Riot who was trying to ambush it from behind, the Night Eagle immediately turned its head back, and finally made such a deafening strange sound.
Looking closer at the Night Eagle's nest, Riot can see that there are several eggs that most likely belong to this target bird. When a Night Eagle is laying eggs like this, the bird's sleeping habits will also change, to keep their eggs from predators that may come during the day.
Staring at the other flock of Night Eagles who had just awakened as a result of the previous night eagle's screams, Riot also murmured.
"It seems... I'm out of luck today, huh?"
*Set!*
That way, Riot immediately tried to go down the rocky hill, with a herd of angry Night eagles behind him.
Hm? That...
However, when Riot was running downhill, a tree entered his vision field.
Looking back and forth between the tree and the Night eagle herd, Riot finally came up with an idea.
"Well... It doesn't hurt to just try it first!"
*Hup!*
Shouting excitedly, Riot jumped onto one of the tree branches in front of him. And finally, with his hands holding the tree branch, Riot also used the momentum he had gained from running down the mountain before, to make his body spin with the tree branch as his axis.
But before his body finished the round, Riot released his hands on the branch, which eventually caused him to eject into the air, just above the previous flock of Night eagles.
*Whoosh!*
Gliding through the air, Riot took back the bow he had put on his back before and finally pointed his aim at the night eagle herd.
"... Then, goodbye." Along with when Riot murmured, an arrow shrouded in flames flew towards one of the Night eagles in the middle of the herd, causing all the herds to be swallowed up by an explosion shortly thereafter.
*Bam!*
"... Ouch!" Well, because Riot had also flown higher than originally thought, he also ultimately failed to land safely and had to feel how hard the rocky ground of this hill was.
Although, of course, Riot didn't want to feel that way in the first place, if possible.
"... A-ah... Ouch, I don't want to do this thing anymore, really." With a body full of painful little injuries, Riot decided to seal the movement.
After that, he also began to lift his body back, and finally began to check the results of his previous attacks.
"Uwah... It's severe, very severe."
There, Riot can only find a pile of bird corpses that have been crushed to the point of burning and only 5 corpses that still look fine.
'I have to be more careful next time.' Thinking like that, Riot immediately rushed back to the village, with 5 Night eagle corpses.
After walking for a few minutes later, Riot was finally able to see the beautiful scenery of Seihul Village full of colorful trees, and
various kinds of flowers are growing everywhere.
In this world, there is a dating system that is very different from the earth.
First, the total days of the year in this world amount to exactly 360 days, never less or more. In addition, unlike the earth which has 12 kinds of moons in a year, this world has only 4 types of moons for a year, with a total number of 90 days per month.
That number of months was inspired by a phenomenon of discoloration on the moon, which would occur in this world every 90 days.
And, the names of the moons with their colors and exchange systems, namely; Grenust(Green) -> Alyuiho(Yellow) - > Brawnver(Brown) - > Rublust(Blue).
By the way, the date Riot and other heroes came into this world took place on the 1st of Grenust, the 999th of Rescue. So, after 20 days have passed... Now of course it's 21th Grenust, 'isn't it?
Okay, put that aside first.
At first, Riot tries to cook all the meat from the Night eagle itself, but in the middle of doing so, he finally realizes that the meat of all the birds is too much for himself, and Riot finally decides to give most of it to the other villagers, which makes him get a large basket full of various kinds of vegetables as a token of gratitude.
And, from there, Riot became even more confused.
"... What should I cook with this many ingredients?"
Well, in the end, Riot decided to keep all those vegetables for tomorrow alone, leaving only 1 large bowl of Night eagle meat in his kitchen.
'If it's just meat it would be a little too...' Thinking about it that way, Riot also picked up a knife and basket that belonged to him, and finally returned to the forest again eventually leading Riot to find the mysterious woman with long green hair who was previously in a cave, with a fairly severe condition with her pale skin and weak breath.
Thinking that he shouldn't ignore the woman's circumstances, Riot took her home.
Although, he felt a little strange about the reaction of the villagers who just greeted Riot casually as if they weren't even aware of the woman's existence.
And, after doing some emergency care, the woman finally came to her senses the next day.
Thinking that the woman might need some food, Riot decided to make a soup out of some of the vegetables and mushrooms he got. However, when he just entered the room and was about to give the soup to the woman, "... Um, I thought you might be hungry, so-"
Before Riot could finish his sentence, the woman immediately looked straight right into him, to the point of maybe even staring deeper into Riot more than he knew, and said.
"I am... Honestly is a Spirit Queen, of this world."
The woman also said that Riot's age is only 2 weeks away from now after that.
Faced with all the things he didn't even understand, Riot could only frown his eyebrows and said to the woman with a look of pity.
"... Are you probably knocking your head somewhere or something?"
