Sacrifice Training Plan
Today is the day when sacrifices are brought froe near the forest once a year
Although humans have set foot in the forest, the monsters already understand that once a year they’ll co the sacrifice As such they allowed the villagers to pass through without stopping them
Thus the procession of the offering and sacrifice finally arrived at the forest center region
There’s still a little to go to the center region, on-Kaa-san is enshrined, but for now the party stops in the central plaza
In the surroundings various athered, half of the at the offerings
Tentatively, I’ over the course of events
The villagers are tre surrounded bya nest of ive a sacrifice and at this very moment they are surround by those monsters, they would tremble as well
Well, that’s an unnecessary worry though
“Dragon God-sas and sacrifice”
An old e mayor stepped out to the very front, and towards the direction of Mother Dragon who he couldn’t see he prostrated himself
[……good work]
Kaa-san’s voice that is transmitted from far away
I understand clearly, a displeased voice
[Both the offerings and sacrifice, I have certainly received thee’s safety for a year I swear on on’s name]
“Hahaa……my humble pleasure”
The village ers-the villagers who carried the offerings here prostrated the that they are not hostile once again
After the villagers left, half of the s
The offerings were gold and silver treasures; cattle, pigs, and sheep; and things consisting of various grains
Frooods that would sell for a fortune, but for a dragon they’re less
Dragons don’t need to eat things, Kaa-san is enshrined in the center of the forest, her only source of energy is ic
Even so, the villagers send the sacrifice and offerings
I can understand that since the forest is close by they offer things as a method to buy safety, but to be honest there is not much point
The es after all
If it isn’t accepted then next tiifts were not satisfactory, we have to send more” will increase
So that wouldn’t happen it was decided that hu suitable once a year, the best way to have theuaranteed-by Kaa-san
Of course the offerings are unneeded, so those things are suitably divided by the monsters The curios onlookers half do that
[Ryu, my son]
[Dealing with the sacrifice, I entrust that to you]
[I do not eat people, nor do I interact with them]
“I know that, but why me?”
Until now the sacrifice has been sent every year as well, each time Kaa-san had dealt with it appropriately
Why is it that suddenly this year it was me?
[That’s an order]
“No but-”
The next moment it became pitch dark before my eyes
The offerings half had been taken back by the lance I was left with leftovers
Once again it appears I was scolded by Kaa-san for defying her
[Will you object to my decision]
“I won’t, I won’t ok”
I deny it in a rush, when I say soain
Was Kaa-san satisfied with that answer, she didn’t say any more than that
Haa……what a pain
The sacrifice, ould be a good way to deal with it
I parted from the center of the center of the forest a little, a place that’s unpopular
I pushed the flatbed trolley heave ho heave ho(I let ht it here
One human sat on top of the trolley
Cloth was placed on their head, the appearance was unable to be seen
But, they’re tre
That ht here to be a sacrifice would be calm
For the moment, I took off that cloth
Her age is around 10 years, she’s not particularly cute, she isn’t the type that will become beautiful in the future either
Her looks are in the lower middle, well that’s exactly why she was chosen as a sacrifice I guess
The girl looks around restlessly, and tilts her head
“Are……D-Dragon-sama?”
“I listened but……Since Dragon God-sama said, [My son]”
Ahh, that’s why it’s not Dragon God-saon-sama huh
“In that case, it’s me”
“You reht?”
“In other words-”
Turning ave a reason she could consent to
“-You’ve been entrusted to me”
“Mother Dragon thinks of all on”
“I-I see……”
When I attached that kind of reason, the girl consented
“Ano……”
“Please treat me well If possible instantly Pain is unpleasant”
“I’ that can’t be helped”
“After all, someone like me is an incompetent person who serves no purpose so”
The girl said that, and hung her head seely lonely
“I can’t read, and I can’t do farm work Even if I’m made to do housework I only fail Work that others learn in a day, even taking a week I can’t learn most of it”
