"No, I should explain it."
"I'm the one who should come..."
'... ...'
The noisy sound buzzed into my head, and there was no way to stop it.
"All of you stop. I am the one being questioned, so I shall continue..."
"Ah, that's enough, don't talk like that when you're not paying attention, my head can't take it!"
'... ...'
The noise of the giant beasts stopped abruptly.
"I'm very sorry, we'll take note of that."
It was still the giant beast that apologized to Hulim.
"Let's get back to your question. You asked what the universe is and what space-time is. It would be quite lengthy to answer, so I'll try to keep it short enough to fit within a month of your time."
“Wait a minute—!!!”
Hulim reached out again to stop him.

“… …”
A moment later.
The behemoth that spoke met Hulim's gaze again.
"I'm very sorry about this question..."
"You don't have to say it, I've heard it all..."
"I'm so sorry."
"Alas." Hulim sighed helplessly and said, "Instead, can I ask another question?"
"Of course, please."
"grateful."
After saying that, he swept his sharp eyes over the seven giant beasts in front of him one by one, and asked the question that first came to his mind.
"You... aren't transformed from the power within me, are you?"
"Yes."
"As you said, what appears before you now is our true form."
