Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

AC also went through a paragraph, and that's how most of the monsters went back to their respective places of residence.

All that's left is you and the liaison river boy. Then it is a shank rub. The river boy is lurking in a plain pond and waiting so he can turn around his contact. As for the remaining shin rubs, I have the impression that Sheila lifted me up to an individual who somehow missed it as it was......

"Well, I guess that means they liked it. If it's just a single shank rub, it won't get in the way."

"Mmm. Right. I think you'd be safe aboard the Sirius."

While having that conversation, move the location from deck to bridge to continue surveillance.

I was able to deal with it and confirm it... but I still think the monsters are close to the spirits. Sometimes they can disappear, and usually they're invisible and lurking in their own place of calm.

Well, some people say you can't even disappear like a river boy, but I wonder if you have a more biological impression of such monsters than spirits.

"The monsters usually hide themselves, but if someone comes into their realm, there's the nature of Hing coming out when he rides."

And you tell me.

"Xing, is it"

"Mm-hmm. If they match their tastes and nature, or have a causal relationship to their formation in the first place, so be it."

There are things like walking alone on the night lane.

Causality in formation… For example, in the case of a monster whose nucleated parts were originally human beings and whose resentment was established as a source, the power may be directed towards revenge against the perpetrator. The boundary between the Grieving Spirit and the Monster is also somewhat blurred in Hitaca.

"For example... what happens after a monster who was meant for revenge fulfills his true self?

"In that case, well, if you lose your untrained or obsessed and disappear from this world, or if by then it has become a rumor and a strong manifestation of people, will you remain in this world? Essentially, it tends to calm down in nature and character because it serves a purpose, but if you are shown a situation close to what you are made of, it can be that you move unexpectedly with emotion."

Oh. Can't you just shut up if they show you a similar situation even after you've done your revenge, huh?

That kind of mood... I feel like I know somehow. The monsters seem closer to humans in senses, emotions than spirits, and there are atmospheres that are likely to be broken in that sense... but in any case, I just want to maintain a good relationship if they are friendly monsters in the future.

"Given the presence of you and the warmth of the monsters living in the area, this land is likely to have a special significance in the future"

"Hmm. If the mornings or the martial arts will weigh this land down, that's a welcome story even as a concubine."

"Right. I can't be sure, but I think the Emperor will be pleased."

You smile in front of such tadakuni words.

The land where the monsters admire you and before you live...... Surely the court would not want to do anything extra to destabilize the peace and stability of the status quo. Being able to have a friendly relationship with me is part of my relationship with this land and my friendship with Verdogal.

In any case, will it be after the discussions with the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters and the ghosts are over? I just want to make sure we do our job first so that we can move on with those stories.

"Afterwards - will you keep the villagers safe?"

Tadakuni snorts at my words.

"Surely we should strike a hand at the inhabitants of the settlement more than we know they haven't visited the land yet."

I don't think Ayatsuji brothers and sisters act unscrupulous while they are acting in hiding because they seem to weigh flashy activities to avoid getting caught up in Yura's predictions... so that doesn't mean guaranteeing the secure safety of the settlement.

If we installed the investigation and the cooperation of the monsters, we would need to keep the system as a cornerstone with regard to the villagers.

"... Hmm. If that's the case, why don't the concubines stand on the villagers' dreampillows before the conversation goes through? On top of that, if Lord Tadakuni goes to talk to you, will you cooperate with us without one or two?

And I laugh in front of you. Oh. Is it like Claudia entrusting the witches of the Temple of the Moon? Then it's certainly quick to talk and effective.

"Ooh. That helps. Tomorrow. Let's talk to the villagers."

So Tadakuni fell apart. Right. You should leave the negotiations with the villagers to you and Tadakuni. After that... we just have to get him in shape so he doesn't get suspicious by the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters.

That's how - it's been two or three days since I started surveillance.

There is also your cooperation, and discussions with the villagers have been completed without any problems. The number of households in the settlement, the total population, is not that large. Neither putting in place an evacuable system nor talking about it so hard, it can be said that surveillance has been made possible with the worries of the hindsight gone.

Surveillance by Seekers and Haiders, but also the eyes of the monsters of the land. Those who admire you and the monsters on the knees of the ghosts, however different their attitudes towards humans are, do not mean that the monsters stick together that much. Thus, we were able to construct a state where contact would soon come around in the form of rumors, even if no one else would have stopped by the streets or strongholds if they had entered the land. Talking to the monsters of the land resulted in a ground-breaking surveillance system.

As a result, the surveillance eyes around the crowd thickened, so I could afford it. The Seekers are moving along the streets toward a larger town, expanding their surveillance coverage.

But...... so far today, there has been no particularly unusual move. I would have estimated that an operator would have the means to move a little faster... well. Then a number of possibilities are anticipated regarding the movement of the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters.

"- If I could predict again, I'd be relieved."

And Yura says a little uneasy.

"Sure. But prediction is burdensome, so in a situation where you don't know when the enemy will come, it's difficult to decide whether to use it or not. We also have a telecom on the state of the capital, so let's keep a little more watchful."

"Yes."

Yura nods seriously at my words. It's the back of the situation that I was drained by the prediction.

Interaction on the comms is making up for it around there. The communication machines can only be exchanged in Western characters, so it is difficult to report a detailed situation… if there is no problem, send the letter A. It is a dimension that if a problem occurs in the Ayatsuji relationship, the letter B is sent and the procedure is simplified so that the minimum necessary information is obtained. Therefore, we know that there are no problems on the part of the capital at present.

"You know what it's like to be in a hurry in a situation of waiting for surveillance. But these kinds of tasks are all about guts and calm judgment."

Ichiemon says in a bright tone. In the case of Ichiemon, he's an expert, so to speak, who often engages in such duties. Those words are quite comforting.

So it will continue to take the form of standby until there is movement......

It was such a fold that the little pumpkin, who was monitoring one of the monitors, shook his arm brightly to extinguish the flame in his face. Bridge tension increases in Russia. Apparently, we got caught in some kind of surveillance network.

The little pumpkin was in charge of the monitor of the Seeker, who was moving it relatively far away. If we all took a peek at that... There was a line of faces I saw in the prediction.

A man with a fine face in a ukulele hat and a woman standing close to him wearing a kettle casket... Definitely. Ayatsuji brothers and sisters... Sakio and Isuzu.

What bothers me is that there are other people who look like companions. They don't seem to have the courage to carry a knife or a magician-style.

"Again, do you say. He was preparing to infiltrate the Haunted Mountain or summoning his people."

If the subject of the investigation is the ghost of the mountain, it has never been more than adequate.

The same goes for the assassins who raided Akane, but it was something we knew the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters had company.

It is somewhat within the scope of the assumption that trends outside the forecast range will be prepared because they were not known. Anticipating we have company. There are places where we are building up our fighting power... but when the anticipation hits, it's a little more bothersome.

"I've seen this guy's face, in the arrangement."

"... this person is not in any way involved either. He must have drawn an armed criminal into his own company."

Tadakuni and Ichiemon teach me. Because it's the face of the public sector, it also means that the faces of criminals come around. The Seeker is distancing himself from being noticed, so he hasn't even been able to pick up the sound, but it also looks like the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters are giving instructions and the others are following.

"At this time. Shall we clean it up and get to the bottom of it?"

There is nothing good about leaving the Ayatsuji brothers and sisters and their party alone. If it weren't for Yura's predictions, he would have acted bolder and even explored the overthrow of the state, because what a full possibility.

Everyone snorted at my words with a resolute expression.
