The ‘Great Wall’.
A wall that is simply high and long, blocking the western edge of the Lasanaskiros Desert.
Pikurutz and the other residents of Nut-Gathering Village live by carving holes into the rock face of this Great Wall.
The inside of the caves is cool even during the day, and by digging the entrances a little higher up, monsters can’t enter.
Their homes are traditional dwellings that have been passed down for generations for those reasons.
“Fwaaah... Well, I guess I’ll do my best today...”
Now, Pikurutz, woken up by his mother’s shouting, poked his head out of the cave entrance and yawned, exhaling white breath.
Looking beyond the horizon, the sun has already risen.
Soon the temperature will start to rise, and the activity of monsters like the Desert Topopolocks will increase.
He has to hurry.
“Yotto...”
Pikurutz grabbed the rope ladder hanging from the entrance and started to descend.
It’s quite high, but he’s been climbing up and down this ladder since he was a child.
He’s not afraid at all.
He moved his hands and feet nimbly, descended to the sandy ground, and a gust of wind—Phew—pushed his back.
The wind collided with the Great Wall, picking up some sand and flowing upwards as an updraft...
He thinks about it every time he sees the Great Wall.
His own helplessness, which he can do nothing about.
And he feels empty.
Deep down, he gives up on something every day.
But he can’t bear to give up on his dreams.
So he can’t let go of his bible.
His body feels heavy.
Even though he hasn’t done anything yet, he feels incredibly tired.
He feels like there’s a weight in the depths of his chest.
But he has to fulfill the quota imposed by his mother, or he won’t get breakfast.
If he lingers like this, the danger from monsters will increase.
That’s a problem.
So, Pikurutz, with the turmoil in his heart, dragged his heavy legs and headed to the gathering point for the spirit tree nuts.
