  Summary

  After battling a god-like being, the golden flowers planted a new fear in the monsters' hearts.

  The barrier shattered, and the monsters brought wounded human children to the city for treatment, discussing the kingdom's future.

  Just as the short skeleton intended to remain uninvolved as always, he encountered an unexpected being.

  ---
  This is a story centered on the skeleton bros adopting an OC; I would be happy if it was regarded as a kind of AU.

  This is a story written with AI assistance and machine translation. For more details, please see the explanation and declaration in Chapter -1.
