Council Room: 4pm in the afternoon

The second part of the meetings was taking place in a room attached to the council room, where Maria, Elsa and the architects of Skytower, Prometheus and Pandora talked to Tylsys and Galle about the materials and ... budgets ... and things... Except for Flynn, none of those present in the council room were very clear that they were talking.

Instead of getting in the way of such a delicate negotiation, Radna had invited Hannah, Calia, Flynn, Alanis, and Fee to eat with her. And when a member of the mountain tribe invites you to eat, it means that you are going to eat the food of the tribe.

Through a large portal drawn by Haala and stabilized with crystals much larger than normal, members of the mountain tribe brought what was considered normal food for them. A kind of "bird", similar in appearance to a cross between turkey and chicken, roasted and accompanied by blue leaf-like vegetables.

A "bird" ... that only he weighed more than Hannah. And it was bigger than Hannah herself!

"Serve it while it's hot, folks! The Bouqu must eat hot, because its taste gets drastically worse over time!" Radna distributed some square metal "plates", each larger than a normal human.

"Radna, you havent asked to bring dishes for me? besides, I'm sure that humans feel much more comfortable with the "desert-size"!" Jeellel screamed as she sat in front of Haala, both examining Hannah with her eyes.

"Ummm... that's true, bring" desert-size "dishes, come on!" Radna shouted at her men, before turning to the table. "Forgive my mistake, humans... no no, I must call you by name, now we are all children of Terre dell'alba! What's your name, big human?"

"Calia Sol, Dirty lover retired and founder of Bahia del Sol, Lady Radna!" Calia said smiling, as she handed out one of the metal plates for her and two for Hannah and Alanis.

"Dirty lover? The same as Phoenix is r03;r03;always saying! What a coincidence! Alanis, forgive the intromission, but is it possible that your father is General Winbre? You remind me a lot of him, before the scars on his face, of course" Radna He reached down to examine Alanis more closely, causing the Iloa to blush-

"Excuse me, Radna... but have you said that a that "Phoenix" is r03;r03;saying things about Dirty Lover?" Flynn jumped up and walked around the bird to look at Radna's face.

"Of course, you havent heard me? Phoenix is r03;r03;always calling himself Dirty whatever, although I do not have much relationship with her either... Jeellel, the sun's cathedral is inside your territory, right? Can you contribute with more light?"

Jeellel fell back on the table, meditating for a second. "Phoenix is r03;r03;always hiding information about the Alitians, so my people prefer to stay away from her unless we have no idea what an artifact does... But of the times I've managed to talk to her, she calls herself Dirty Lover and prophet of the "New cathedral of the sun".

It seems that protects at any cost, because whenever we go there there are corpses burned with beasts in the door... what secrets will hide that cathedral? Imagine them!" Jeellel began to daydream, until a stomp of Flynn caught her attention.

"New cathedral of the sun? Prophet? Dirty Lover?! I am the prophet of the cathedral of the sun!" Flynn's face was dark and his brow furrowed.

"You also have worshipers of the sun on the Earth? what a coincidence! But Phoenix, for as long as I can remember, has always been alone in that cathedral... so I suppose yours can be considered a religion!"

Flynn said nothing, until he made his spear appear. "In what direction is that "cathedral" if it can be known? I must pay her a visit"

"If you want to know her so much, I can ask my men to bring her here." She still owes me two favors the last time she ran out of food or water. "Jeellel gestured to one of her soldiers at her desk, who arrived quickly. jumping the gap between both tables.

"Please, I would be very grateful, Jeellel-"

"Thank you? No! I want you to help me! I guess you humans will have archaeologists, so I want you to tell them about my tribe and my excavation and offer them to come in. We can give asylum to a lot of people, and we always need labor and restorers for important events! " Jeellel smiled, while Flynn turned to his wife.

"Calia, do you think it would be correct? I'm sure we know people who would surely love to join archaeological teams here in Terre!" Flynn tried to adorn the request as much as possible, but he knew his wife too well.

Calia pretended to think for a second. "Do you want to bring in archaeologists illegally so we can meet that Phoenix? How can you just dare to suggest it?" Calia could not help laughing, at Flynn's annoyed look. "Okay okay! go call Valeria and Light and tell them to try to bring them as soon as possible! I recognize that I'm curious about that person called Phoenix!"

Flynn nodded, and with a resentment, said goodbye to the table before disappearing through a dark portal. All this before the bright and excited look of Haala.

"What kind of spell has that been? It has opened a stargate without the need for crystals or astral symbols!" The arch-djinn could not contain her illusion and her emotion, raising her voice a lot.

"Haala! The food must be respected! Dont yell again!" Radna said in a dry, cold voice, forcing Haala to lower her head and silently apologize.

Meanwhile, Radna's men returned with silverware and plates for Jeellel and Hannah and Alanis. "Now yes, you can start eating! Enjoy!"

Radna left the Bouqu with her knife, dividing one of the wings for her, another split in half for Calia and Halaal, and cutting small pieces of the body for Hannah, Alanis and Jeellel. "I gather that you, fairy, do not eat anything hot, right?"

Fee flew to the ear of Alanis, who transmitted his message. "Fee says twilight fairies can only consume hot drinks as much, so let's enjoy the food without worrying."

"Why hasnt Fee been said directly?" Hannah asked, as she looked at the piece of bird that Calia had left on her plate. Although it did not smell bad, and did not seem to be bad either... something in its color did not convince the giantess.

"I'm too big to hear a fairy's voice, does not it happen to you with smaller things, Hannah?" Radna asked while chewing a piece of wing.

"That doesnt ... happen to you, right Calia?!" Hannah asked very worried, because although she was not going to grow up to Radna, the possibility of not hearing people terrified her.

"Not with humans, but it happens to me with the phones! If they dont put the loudspeaker, I dont hear anything! But that's a normal thing that happens to all the giantesses! Dont worry and enjoy the food, Hannah! This is delicious!" Calia said as she cut another huge piece of wing and put it in her mouth, almost melting in the process

.
"I'm glad you like it, Calia! Not many Iloa enjoy the meat of Bouqu, so I rarely have the pleasure of serving them! This was specifically hunted by my children a few days ago"

"Hunted? It looked like a farm animal..." Hannah said, venturing to take a bite.

"Nothing is far from reality! The Bouqu are terribly aggressive, so putting one in a farm is enough to end up killing all the other animals! Also... they are too big to be raised on farms outside the tribe of the mountain!

When a son of the mountain ages 7, his first task to prove his worth is to hunt a Bouqu and return with him. It sounds violent, but there has not yet been a child of the tribe who was seriously injured!"

"The tribe of the mountain are unbelievers barbarians and hunters, so humans will not have much in common with them!" Jeelllel laughed as he tore up the piece of meat, too big to bite correctly.

"You arent gonna believe that. Humans are now very civilized, but we have a past of war and gigantic violence! Almost 2000 years of pure battles!" Calia stood up in her chair, to reach more of the delicious bird.

"That's really interesting! You look like a more... forgive the word, but the humanity seems... "lazy"... but it really seems that I was wrong with you! I can see that you, Calia, and Flynn are powerful, and Hannah certainly does not seem weak" Jeellel took out a small agenda and her pen. "Just one question, those wars were between you or against other species?"

"Among us mainly... there is no other dominant species on Earth" Hannah replied before taking a second bite, without continuing to convince him much.

"No? wait ... you two are of the same species as Flynn and the other little ones!?" Radna's look of surprise was greater, for Iloa had assumed all the time that Humanity was a council of species.

"Yeah! We are all human! But within humans, there are" classic humans ", and extra human beings, which encompass a great variety of species, but at the base, we all share the same DNA, so we are human!"

"... adn... what's that supposed to be?" Radna, Jeellel and Haala put the same face of doubt.

"What two you have often come to ask..." Calia laughed softly, praying that Flynn would come back to answer the question. "DNA is the genetic chain that determines humans, or something like that, it indicates whether you are a man or a woman, and then how extra-human you will be at birth ... I think ... it was something like that, but surely my daughter, Light, you can give them a better answer, it's a doctor!"

"Surely your daughters are as powerful as you, Calia!" Radna said as she finished eating, moving away from the table to wipe her mouth and burp. "As delicious as always! I wish it were always this time of year to eat Bouqu!"
Hannah and Calia were silent for a moment, trying to figure out if Radna's belching had been polite, rude, or involuntary.

"Hannah, can you hear me? I'm talking to you mentally, do you think... we should imitate her?"

"I do not know, Calia ... Jeerell and Haala havent followed her ... but they havent made any nuisance gesture either ..."

A second belching, even stronger than before, boomed throughout the council room. "As soon as it's going up?" Radna laughed while rubbing her stomach.

"Another burp has been thrown! That must mean something!"

"Calia mom ... I think you should imitate her ... it could be a tradition or something! In some countries of the earth they do similar things!"

"Seriously? where?"

"And what did I know? Elsa told me but I was playing Stormblood and I didnt hear it at all!"

"If you allow me..." Haala's voice echoed in the heads of Calia and Hannah."It is a tradition Iloa that the hostess finish before and rest the food, usually accompanied with air outlet"

"Haala, how did you know we were talking, little one?"

"You were looking at each other quickly -... little one?"

"You're supposed to be very young, so you dont seem to be more than 10 years old, unless the sea tribe ages at a different rate"

"No no ... I'm 8 years old, so your deduction is correct, Calia"

"So small and already leading a tribe, that's admirable!"

This time... the air left Radna's body through the other conduit, and Radna celebrated it by rising. "If you are finishing already, I will take the leftovers for the hunting dogs of Thor Darum! It has been a pleasure to meet you humans, but I must accompany my hunters in a small expedition"

Hannah and Calia nodded quickly, trying not to grimace in disgust at the terrible smell. Radna picked up her plates, and leaving the leftovers in the main dish, left the room through the portal of Haala.

"For your face... this on earth isnt common, is it?" Jeellel and Fee laughed at the faces of Hannah and Calia, who kept trying to keep their breath. "You have to get used to it, because once for what men leave the table, it is tradition that women liberate everything that men are scandalized!"

"Eructation... and farting?... So when the man leaves the table, are you here to fart?" Calia didnt seem too happy with the discovery, still suffering from the smell.

"And what is wrong? A man is scandalized and reulle of those things, but we arent the bosses for nothing! The Iloa we have learned that our body is what we should enjoy and repress us only leads us to tricky road!Now humans live with us, so we invite you to participate! A burp will not kill anyone, and a fart is just an accumulation of gas! "Jeellel's argument was wrong in many ways, but Calia and Hannah understood that for now... they had to accept it, at least until humanity can also be considered children of this planet.

Calia gritted her teeth, and took a deep breath before releasing the fart that had accumulated. "You see, a man would call you rude and make you apologize, but the Iloa are over those nonsense! If you had to fart, there's nothing wrong with doing it!" Jeellel smiled as Calia unclenched her teeth.

"I guess... Flynn will not let me do it because he says that being a giantess, my gas is giant too..."

"Flynn is a man different from the rest, but he must understand ... and maybe even do it! If he is above other men, he must prove it by standing above that false morality!" Fee said convinced of her argument, that Jelleel subscribed point by point.

Although Calia seemed to begin to be convinced of the idea, Hannah on the other hand did not agree too much. If Juddit saw her farting or belching at the table, no doubt he would punish her without videogames all afternoon...

The Iloa are a totally different culture, so the giantess supposed that humanity would have to learn to live and respect their manners...

Maybe even copy some ones and teach them some of ours. But today? Today Hannah would honor her mother by keeping the gas in her ass until she reaches a bathroom. No doubt the bird that was the fault of all this gas.
