"thunder."
The electric shock that instantly passed through the fingertips attacked the bird mercilessly. "Beep!!" With a scream, the bird in the birdcage flew up.
Looking at the bird flapping its wings, Xion smiled with satisfaction.
"Well, get up."
"...The so-called outsiders are probably companions, right? Isn't it a bit rude?"
"It can shorten the time."
Theon answered Anna's question without fear. Then he put his face close to the birdcage and said to the bird that calmed down a little.
"Hello, I'm a magician passing by. Can I talk to you?"
Aster spoke softly like a child, and the caged bird looked up at her lovingly——
"Disrespectful person!!"
Start by using a tone contrary to appearance and shouting insults.
"Just a human with a little magic power, but he did this to me, a member of Lord Huitzilopochtori... It's so disrespectful, son of man!!"
"Wow, that's more trouble than I thought."
In front of this bird with a small body but an arrogant attitude, Theon's eyes became distant.
Ji, who appeared next to Theon, watched with interest the birds noisy in their cages.
"This guy talks very ordinary, he is really not human..."
"Don't look down on me if you don't even have magic power! Don't think of me as anyone else. I am a descendant of the Sun God!"
"Sun God? By the way, he seemed to have said it was Wichiro."
"Sir Huitzilopochtori, you disrespectful man!!"
Huitzilopochitori.
Ajid had never heard of this name, but he sounded like he was a god.
If it was Theon, would he know? He looked at Theon, but Theon also tilted his head, a question mark on his face.
"Captain Glasses, can you use the tablet in your hand to search for information about Weezy?" "It's Mrs. Weitzilopochitori!"
"Yeah. I think it's probably a South American god, so I wanted to search it online."
Mist, who was a little dissatisfied with Theon's instructions, operated the tablet at hand. After waiting for a few seconds, the search results came out. He adjusted the position of his glasses and looked at the screen.
"Huitzilopochtoli. Said to be the sun god in Aztec mythology, depicted on the Spanish flag. The name means 'left side of the hummingbird'."
"I see, it's not false to say they are married."
The bird in question is a hummingbird, and the claim is that it is a relative of "the left side of the hummingbird".
Gods will tame animals that are destined to them. Such stories can also be seen in the myths of the Earth Kingdom, so this is not a strange story.
"Hmph. Now that you know it, how about you quickly take off your civilian clothes and ask for forgiveness?"
Hummingbird seemed to know that he believed the claims of God's Familiar, and his attitude became stronger.
In contrast, Ajit noticed that veins were slightly exposed on Theon's temples.
"Miss Hummingbird, Miss Hummingbird, can you look over here for me?"
Rather than following the instructions, he looked up at Theon reflexively.
The moment Theon and Hummingbird's eyes met, Ajid felt an indescribable feeling, and he was shivered by a chill.
At the same time, Hummingbird was as frozen as stone in front of Theon.
"I want to talk to you. Since we are a couple of gods and immortals, can you let me see your magnanimous side?"
Theon had a calm voice and a hint of a smile. However, there was no smile in his eyes at all.
Ah Jing couldn't help but feel chills running down her spine when she saw his appearance.
"I, I know. Ask him first."
Hummingbird accepted Xion's anger from the front. Although he was still a little arrogant, his attitude was much softer than before.
I find it a bit strange that despite being so arrogant, his attitude has changed to such an extent.
Thinking about the chill that Aki felt just now, maybe Xion used some kind of magic to intimidate him.
"Then I'm not in a hurry. Why are you in Miami?"
In response to Xion's question, Hummingbird opened his mouth slightly, but after a pause for a few seconds, he closed his mouth hesitantly.
His eyes seemed not to be fixed on Xion, but on Xiaojing and the others around him.
"...Isn't it convenient to talk to people?"
"Rather, why do you take it for granted to be with this person? It's not like you don't know his history..."
"I have a lot going on here too."
It seems that regardless of Xion, he is very resistant to talking to Akito and others as ordinary people.
"Don't worry, even if someone knows about the situation here, you don't have to worry about being kidnapped, right?"
"...That's true. As a god, I am afraid of humans. Isn't this too strange?"
Although I felt that this was not a serious conversation in front of that person, they continued talking without any care.
"I'm looking for someone... to inform the 'Mother of Orbs' about the change."
"Mother of Orbs"
For Ajid and others, these are completely unfamiliar words, but after hearing these words, Xion's expression changed.
This seems to be a common language, at least between perilla and hummingbirds.
"Xion, I'm sorry, can you please explain?"
"...'The Mother of Orbs' is a group of strangers living in this world."
"Community?"
"In addition to people living in this world, they have secretly built large and small communities. The "Mother of Orbs" is the largest one among them."
Although Theon explained this to Anna, there was always something in the conversation about scale.
"...For us, it should be very alarming for such a group of unrelated people to form a clique for personal gain."
"That's not the case, right? It's just a grand scale, but there are places like that."
“Doesn’t big mean big power?”
In response to Misty's accusations, Theon expressed an attitude of resignation toward the community.
Aki and Mist had the same idea, but Theon didn't seem to have such an understanding.
Theon didn't want to talk about the Mother of Orbs, or couldn't be bothered to.
“…While it’s large, it’s not unified.”
When Xion was unwilling to speak, it was Hummingbird who spoke.
He seemed a little dissatisfied, but continued to explain.
"The 'Mother of Orbs' was made by the compatriots living in this world to convey information from various places. ...On the other hand, there is no other idea."
"Because communities everywhere are too closed, powerful people discovered this problem and forcibly established horizontal connections between communities. This is the origin... Now it is a link for people other than people in the world to exchange information. If used in human beings Socially, it’s like SNS.”
In the final analysis, it is just a connection established for the purpose of exchanging information, not an organization for actual joint action.
Is it because of this, Theon contends, that he becomes a threat to humanity? "To be honest, it's very subtle."
"If that's the case, is there any point in asking for help from such a subtle organization? From what he said, it doesn't seem to be of any help..."
"'Mother of Orbs' is not so much seeking something from itself, but seeking help from communities around the world through this connection, so that it is easy to communicate even if there are no direct acquaintances."
"That's it, just like the appeal on SNS."
Post help information widely online and wait for the community to respond to the call.
What Hummingbird will do next is probably something similar.
"But will they actually lend a helping hand? After hearing what they said, I feel that the relationship between them is very weak..."
"Although there are very few caring people who respond personally, after all, it is a collection of communities, and there are also groups like charity groups. There should be some people who respond."
Regarding Ajid's worries, Xion didn't show any particular worry, but answered him fluently.
To be honest, Xion was a little confused, but since both Xion and Hummingbird thought this was the case, Ajid had nothing to say.
"By the way, if you wanted help, why are you here?"
"what happened?"
"This hummingbird is related to Aztec mythology. It should live in the Western Kingdom... In this case, there is no need to come to such a place. It is fastest to find relevant personnel in the Western Kingdom, and there is no need to go to sparsely populated North America... …”
"There are very few things outside of human beings...?"
Regarding Ajit's question, Xion showed a "too bad" expression and thought about it for a while before speaking.
“Places other than humans live more secretly around the world than people think…However, very few live in North America.”
