Helping with Adventurer Party Management

The life of a cannibal giant (Auga) is less known than that of a goblin.

Sometimes the number of individuals is small in itself, because even if they win a party that engages a cannibal giant, exhaustion often chooses to withdraw significantly. Even if you can't defeat it without injury, from an adventurer party with a stick that a giant body wields, it's hard to fight a series of wars with insecurities in terms of equipment, such as missing a prepared weapon, breaking a pattern, breaking a shield, and running out of prepared tae arrows.

If there is such a thing as a colony of cannibal giants, and you hit it there, it means death.

"As for the cannibal giants, I did some research"

While on foot to where the scouts discovered him, the Baron was explaining the results of a preliminary investigation to Jilboa.

Before the survey line, the Baron summarized the number and type of cannibal giant crusades in the Adventurer Alliance records.

"More than that number of cases, it's the gender that attracted your attention. Most of them were male individuals. There were one, maybe two, very rarely three heads."

"Indeed, we were also often relative to one, many and two heads,"

"There are two possible hypotheses that males are the only subjects. The first is that males hunt and females defend their homes. It's a theory that we live in the same kind of hunting business as humans."

"I see, it's a possible story. But..."

"Yes, that would require a reason why a cannibal giant is acting with two or three heads. Brothers, or parents or children. That's the kind of relationship you need."

"Brothers... the cannibal giant has brothers. What an uncomfortable word, if you ask me. It seems to describe humans and animals rather than monsters"

Monsters are monsters, animals are animals, and humans are humans. For Gilbore, who recognizes it that way, the Baron's expression depicts the monster too human to help but feel uncomfortable.

"Hmm. Right. But we don't know enough about monsters. Don't you think? I think we should start there, recognizing the monster not as an incredible threat, but as something we can describe in words we can understand. Hmm, did I say something strange?

The baron asked in surprise to see Jilboa smile.

"No, because talking to the Baron is what comes to mind about a man"

"Right. Well, that's the second hypothesis, by the way, that the males are the young men who were sent to training. In certain populations of animals, young males are expelled from the herd when they reach a certain age. That's how you look for a new herd. That's how the cannibal giants wander for new territory and herds."

"You're like a human village. It looks just like a second or third son who can't get a field leaves the village and becomes a mercenary or an adventurer."

Hearing Jilboa's answer, the Baron slaps his hand.

"Exactly, you're right! No, I totally am. I mean, you discovered where the cannibal giant lives, is there a male or a female ahead? Are there only adults or children? If we can reveal that, how do cannibal giants maintain and live in collective order? I can reveal one end of it!

"I see. Interesting"

The Baron went on to say whether he was unhappy with Zilboa's reaction the next time.

"Interesting! Not quite. In other words, if there are females and children in the residence, the cannibal giant lives like an animal with a territory. If there seems to be a male..."

"If you seem to be here?

"A cannibal giant is likely to be building a large settlement, don't get me wrong. We humans may soon be relative to our enemies, the society of the cannibal giants."

To the Baron's bold hypothesis, Jilboa accidentally let his eyes blink (shiatsu).
