Alchemist Yuki's Strategy
Episode 11: Still Bell Lake and the Beast of Bell Protection
I look out for a world like this.
Therefore the Spirit of the Bell will not show his eyes to men.... Apparently.
... Sometimes I don't think it's strange to blindfold.
Didn't Yayoi, the first bell spirit, wonder where it was?
No, well, Yayoi, Satori, me and I, there's nothing wrong with being blind, but it's a tradition that doesn't disappear for about half a century.
Well, since the days of Yayoi, there has been a push for improvement and review of bad habits, so those who cannot do anything when future descendants of Suzuku blindfolds will improve immediately.
For that reason, I avoided the care of Aya and Linka, the modern bell witches, and I purified myself in Shizuru Lake (Seirinko).
Shizuzuru Lake is located somewhat high above Mizuru Mountain, and the lake, which is only large enough to be seen, accumulates spring water just out of the mountain... very cold.
They used to have a bad habit of having to clean themselves up here, whether it was winter or not, but now it's only a warm summer day.
It will be sunny for a while, so I will have to go to Shizuru Lake every time during the festival.
Nor is it possible for ordinary people to arrive at this location, but it is not completely closed, so very rarely can people with low confidence, naturally jumping in, or children of your age arrive.
Still, there's nothing like coming in the fold of the water... but the odds are never zero.
Yumi, who is now a candidate for the head of the witch, is also a little girl whose tent is past when she is a single digit girl, and she came straying into Shizuru Lake during my trip to the water.
If you clean yourself up as usual, you have little work to do until the festival.
It is good to explore the vast mansion, to work in the midst of witches and palaces, and to find objects of celebration sent from all over the world.
◇
The blue one for the Bell Spirit is a pass because it stands out.
The pinnacle of stupidity, such as being the most prominent outfit, even though it's not even during the festival in the first place.
He changed from lined clothes to everyday clothes, wrapped a blindfold cloth around his waist and left the dressing room at Shizuru Lake behind.
Big bell guard mansion and Shizuru Lake are connected in vain by stone stairs, but there are definitely aya or linka ambushing them somewhere, so they're on their way through the woods.
- I ran into a bear.
"Mm... Kumataro..."
Crown Cheng (Kanju) dwarf bear (Kozitguma).
Bears that remain small even as adults live in various parts of Guancheng, in the mountains held by Suzumoshi Shrine and in the forests of the Ten Borders.
Among them, Kumataro is Linka's pet, a dwarf bear featuring white hair around her neck and a half-moon pattern on her forehead.
It's been a while since I've seen it, but it looks as spectacular as ever.
"Fugu."
"All right, all right."
He's a lookout, he's Linka's dog.
I have to deactivate it before I can raise my voice.
Otherwise, Linka will grasp the place with her sharp ears and try to get me again with her good leg rigidity.
Even for me in the boulder, it is extremely difficult for my associates Aya and the beast to disable without hurting Linka in front of them.
So why don't we ask Kumataro to step off the stage here?
After stroking Kumataro for a while, it appeared.
It was one child fox who made a noise scratching the bushes with the gutter and the leeches on his face.
With a pattern similar to Kumataro on his forehead, that's Rinka's two arrows. Konichiro.
Official name, crown into a five-bell fox.
If there is one, it is a fox characterized by the appearance that there are five.
I mean, uh...
"- Surrounded, or..."
I don't show my face, but there is noise from the bushes around me.
Until earlier, it was almost silent and approaching, but when I realized that this person was aware of it, I began to make attitudes and sounds.
Fu, in the sky I looked up, there was a giant white raven, the White Fan Palace Raven, that only inhabited the back of the mountain of Guancheng, twirling around.
A tough leg worthy of a large body is bracketed with your favorite well-reflecting glass balls, which equals his raven being the arrow of Linka III. It was meant to be Kersuke.
- Bell guardian is a beast.
I must say it is difficult to escape on one's own.
Well, then.
- I run through the woods.
The noise of gutter follows me around, and in the sky, Carsuke follows me at my speed.
Through the woods in no time.
"- Yuki-Geto!
"Huh, the other way around."
"Ha ha?
Rinka, the power that held me up.
General of the enemy (...).
Rather than disabling all the animals she serves, fuck her, the general, and it all fits in easily.
◇
Even though he is not an analyst, he fights animals, and after a long time flirting with his cousins, he quickly moves on to finding festivities.
Linka didn't kill her, she didn't push her into powerlessness.
The point is, you just have to stay out of my way.
The best thing is not to deal with them, but if that's unavoidable, we have no choice.
"Yuki...... boobs getting titty?
"It's not the same sex."
... No, well, I've been getting suspicious lately. At least there's no change in appearance.
Take Rinka, who says stupid things, and go on through the gravel-layed garden.
The destination is a warehouse with a large refrigeration room, located west of Shizuru Lake.
Read my actions and head through Aya, who should be waiting in front of the warehouse.
