Alchemist Yuki's Strategy

Episode 9 Welcome to Bell Guard

Blue leaf scented wind, long stairs to look up.

In the large square ahead where we climbed through it, the adults were preparing the stalls.

- This is the realm.

The first birdhouse is called the Gate of the Earth and the next is called the Gate of the Guardian of the Realm.

As the name suggests, the guardianship is once the need to preserve.

The remnants of the ornamental tower have been renovated and left behind, and the sprawling triple pond and elegant bridge are traces of three buried moats.

The walls were removed from some generations, and the lights everywhere lit up with electricity about the time I was born.

In keeping with a tradition that has been around for a long time, the modern bell guardian mainly looks around here.

Once a battlefield, the realm guard layer is wider than the five other realm layers, hanging from east to west of Mitsuyama... Something like summer rents out a portion of the square to do morning radio gymnastics, etc.

Give a proper greeting and move on.

The second is the Edge Realm.

Where there are only small companies and offices now, but there used to be a table face that entertained marginal people.

To the east there is a garden along the trail and to the west there is a newly built garden.

The third is the cherry blossom world.

Now there's just a resting place. If you go northeast via the east, there's a cherry garden managed by the cherry garden family.

The vast cherry blossom garden is also about the level of the guardian, and by the looks of it, it liberates shallow places, but now it's summer, so it's closed.

East Cherry World Road, the road to Cherry Blossom Garden, has a student festival where students from Sound Leaf High School exhibit.

The ringside of the bell guard is guiding, managing, setting up and guarding, and about five years ago, a place was created here called the Student Festival from the year Lina was admitted.

Since the contemporary Sovereign was Satori... the point is that it is overprotective.

The students who are coming are those called Summer Group, or Bell Festival Group, at Sound Leaf High School, with a minimum of half of a class.

The latter half is called the Autumn Group, or Sound Festival Group, and quite a few people say they want to participate in both of its fruits, so they don't have trouble with the personnel.

What is tragic is the ministry.

Since personnel are taken everywhere, they must do it in small numbers, both at the bell sound festival and at the leaf festival.

... Still sounds like it's the leaf stream that does it.

1-A also has the chairman of the committee wielding that spicy arm, leading the summer group.

The fourth is the heavenly world.

This is the usual festival, where bell witches dance.

On the eastern side of the road, there is a large pavilion for guests managed by Bell Guard, from which further north is a high-rise square overlooking the vast forest, the private property of Bell Guard.

It basically restricts the admission of others to this realm class except during kamikaze dance.

Finally, at the top, there is the Bell Guard Mansion managed by Bell Guard, which exists to surround the top of the mountain.

The name is the forbidden domain, which is said to be the Crown Realm, and should never be entered except by those bordering on the Bell Guard.

On the north side are small waterfalls and lakes where bell witches purify themselves, basically banned from entering except bell witches and witches. They say something naturally punitive happens when you get in.

Normally, I don't get lost or anything... but when a woman gets lost, she can avoid the heavenly punishment by immediately becoming an assistant to the Suzuku witch on the spot. Yumi and all that made him a witch.

That's how he climbed the long stairs and reached the crown world where he explained the light description of Mitsuzuyama to his new girlfriends Misaki and Kai.

"Rinch!

"Aya-chan-su!

Such an exchange of greetings took place between my sister, Aya, the main family member, and Rinhua, Rinhua of Suzuku, who was a division of the family and was my cousin and Taku's cousin in the system.

After hi-touching with Aya in her witch outfit, she continued to exchange hi-touches with the Sakura Garden sisters, and then approached me.

"Yuki."

"Oh, my God."

"-Get wow!!

The stretched hand slipped into my armpit at high speed and lifted me up a little to say that I was of the same height.

When Linka kicks Tak with me, she runs to the main hall with the momentum intact.

Still overflowing with power...... I don't know if I get muscle aches.

Well, shall I just call your voice before they take you away?

Every year, but this time there are some new arrivals.

"Welcome to Bell Guard!

◇ ◆ ◇

The place is one of the rooms smelling like tatami.

At the end of the closed barrier is a garden covered for this room, and the accessories placed everywhere are objects.

... I'm sure the pot placed between the floors might be as expensive as the eyeballs pop up.

I said, "Well, then I'll say goodbye, okay?

Retake your mind and cut it out that way and repeat the earlier explanation to Misaki.

"Suzumitomo is a clan that performs the sacrifice of Suzumitomo Shrine, as Suzumitomo Shrine knows, the total main mountain of Suzumitomo Shrine famous for its Suzumitomo Festival. The point is, you're home."

"After all, Yuki was..."

Masaki looking a little grumpy but restless.

If we were dating, there would be no Kiri, so we'll move on.

"Well, as I explained before, during the festival, we do it as a bell guard... so you're the guy who says that he was the guardian of the bell guard witch."

"Uh... security, like?

She finally swallowed a lot of things for a second explanation, and Misaki drank a cup of tea that was already completely cold and lukewarm.

... one of the finest tea leaves made in the West, the Western Tea Leaf that can be named 'Cui Yu', 100g...... did I say 18 million or something?

... This is insane.

"Security... do you feel like it's busy? Have you ever seen it on TV?

"Ah... there is. I'm wearing a mask, Samurai."

"Yes, that's it."

The truth is, they're not samurai, they're the ones who say bell twelve martial arts, not only weapons, but gold bars, spears, bows, and so on.

"Do you wear a mask and hold a knife...?

Seriously? Masaki asks me with a slightly convulsed face just saying.

Well, not exactly......

"Dress and mask... but you're good at weapons"

"Good at... The Great Sword..."

A great sword...

"... it was about 6km because it was definitely extensive... can you hold it?

"Hmmm... I can't do it with a boom with one hand like a game... but I can use both hands!

"Oh, you're all right."

I ran out of confidence...... because it's pretty tight to carry and practice for hours.

Well, you're gonna go around in pairs, and you're gonna be okay with a couple of breaks?

"Where we go around is where there are fewer people in the cherry blossom world. The job as a bell guard is for four days during the festival. I'm going to help you with some other detailed work in the next two days... Any questions?

Asking me that, Misaki opened her mouth after a lot of trouble.

"... uh, the... Miyagi... oh, the duration of the festival seems to have been long or short in the past... why?

Masaki listens with a little red cheek.

Sure, it's natural to know, and I know you're ashamed to ask.

Well, you say asking is a temporary shame, not asking is a lifetime shame, and don't give him a serious answer.

"The duration of the festival is determined by the number of contemporary bell witches. That's four days this year because Lina, Aya and Linka are the Bell Witches."

"... 4th?... Is that it? And Yuki?"

Misaki snapped his neck.

I can't help wondering. According to tradition, it seems correct that the number of bell witches = days.

Yuki is the Bell Spirit.

"The Bell Spirit?... you mean the role of God?

"... I guess so"

In fact, it was two generations before Yuki that the Bell Spirit role was created. He was a genius at the time, since the birth of Yayoi Suzumi.

At the time, I didn't know much about it, but Bell Guard was also a crisis of discretion. You think you escaped the crisis by offering Yayoi Bell Guard, a born genius, as a generation of God?

Yayoshi Suzumitomo, who was supposed to be worshipped as a god of the living, gathered up Suzumitomo and immediately married him to form a child.

It was Yuki's mother who was born. Bell guard.

As the genius gave birth to the genius, Mr. Satori was celebrated, and Yuki was given birth because of some disturbances and disturbances.

Genius gave birth to genius, and genius gave birth to divine genius.

So I suppose that the Bell Spirit is also a position to truly honor and worship Yuki as God from the time of its occurrence to the present day.

"I don't know much more about the festival and what it means, and if you want an explanation, ask Yuki or something."

Explain and say hi... Kay is talking to Yumi now too?... Because Yumi is seriously busy... I knew Kay would wish I could have taught him too...

With that in mind, Misaki, who still had Zhu on his cheek, came to me to ask me if it was a good idea.

"Well... explain... how did Miyayo get here?

The words of Masaki that appear to be more red than just now without a heart... I don't really get the guidelines just because the words are the only ones, but I mean, why am I following Masaki and solving things?

"Uh... you have to explain it from scratch"

In the first place, a factor in Bell Guard prosperity is the fact that Bell Guard's edgers have actively stood around to increase their allies.

However, as the modern information society was formed, basically new arrivals who did not do anything unsolicited according to their promises to the superior Suzuku or his entourage entered places where they should not enter other than the Sovereign without any offense.

This means that those who accept the Bell Guard will be well educated.

In other words, once a year, I nominate one person whom I believe to be most trustworthy or excellent, and welcome him as the edge of the bell guard -

"That's what I mean."

"... but also the most trusted..."

"Lately, I've been saying invitations... they used to nominate the best and most trusted men, best friends, and fiancées if they were of the same sex... or, to be precise, a show-off or something -"

"- Come here!? Whoa, whoa!?

"Dangerous!?

A suddenly panicked misaki slipped her hand and rolled the hot water with the tea in it.

I stopped the tea overflowing with cloth towels and the worst was prevented... but my liver is cold.

... I don't know. That's it. Tens of thousands of dollars... No, let's not think about it.

"Oh, sorry, wow, I..."

"Good... well, I can't help being nervous, but we'll be friends for a long time, and we'll get used to it within"

"Ugh... yeah..."

... No, I was wondering if I could get used to it? I called because Yuki asked me to invite her... but I just gave her half a million teas a cup and she seemed depressed and leaning over... after dinner she would flip, wouldn't she?
