Book 4: Chapter 8
The Chochoriges flock was nesting under a cliff. There seemed to be around 30 birds. The base of the Dragonewt Army can be found about a kilometer away from the nest.
Although it’s called a base, it was just Dragonewts gathered in camps.
There were 50 dragonewts in all. And seven elders.
I thought it was amazing that Kimidori Papa was able to find the camp in a forest like this—but Kimidori Papa cheerfully said, “If you can’t do this much, you can’t hunt in this forest!”
He then called out to an elder.
「Red Elder!」
「Nuro? Oh, what’s wrong? Didn’t we tell you to stay at home, nuro?」
The elders each seemed to have a different name according to the color of the scarf wrapped around their neck. Red, blue, yellow, etc.
In addition, only the elders grew a beard, so they were easy to tell apart.
