Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

The assembled Sakio, Isuzu, and a party of them were meeting as they looked at the map.

Let the Seekers come close as long as they are not perceived... I guess by joining together what was heard in fragments, they are noticeable when they move in large numbers, so once they are divided into several squads, they seem to be thinking of getting together again in front of the settlement.

Dispersion...... I would like to destroy each one, but it seems to break up with each squad and proceed at some intervals.

In times of need, they leave room for the addition of their peers.

Since it stretches long lengthwise, if you strike a sandwich after poking it from the side, the blow will be effectively dealt... but for this purpose, it is exhaustive. Besides, considering it's still a round trip, it's not a good idea to set them up.

There is a risk of involving passers-by or multiplying them to escape. Or you'd be more likely to take that kind of hand. For them, a country called Hitaca is an enemy in itself, so I'm going to set fire to private houses and fields and run away, and I'm going to be fine with it. I don't care if they take hostages in the process. You would be right to lure him to a predetermined location and slap him there, rather than an adder here.

Observe enemy gait speeds, etc., and determine an approximate time to arrive here. If this is the case… we are likely to make it sufficiently in time to ensure the safety of the villagers. After that, you just have to keep up the good work. The battle is approaching, so let's ask the river children to turn around the monsters as well.

"This one's ready."

And, says Ichiemon, who showed up on the bridge. Wearing a bow, a bow and arrow at the waist. The outfit belongs to a seasoned hunter. Every prop has a used texture and can't be seen outside of the main position.

It is the second disguise of a ninja. Let's call it celebrity art because Ichiemon, who was a middle-bodied middle meat, looks like a slender impression with a wide shoulder width.

If you're a hunter, you're familiar with these geographies. If you want to gather information about the ghosts in the mountains, you are a good opponent.

Let's expose ourselves in front of them and lead them to the battlefield we want by becoming an informant. Needless to say, it's a dangerous mission... but Ithiemon laughed that it was only natural for Hitaca to take on a dangerous role.

"Please take Cadkeus. Sometimes you can protect yourself with armor, and I can listen to the conversation."

"Oh. This must be comforting. It would certainly be easier to connect."

If you let them lurk inside, they won't have a problem accompanying you. Sneak Hyder in the luggage and share the information with everyone, or it will be possible.

Either way, I set the trap. All I have to do is lure them in well and hook them up...

"Their gear... I'm curious"

Tell Rosemary to whine as she looks at the monitor.

Oh. Right. Hidden with sleeves and shavings, but small hands and leg armor can be glimpsed equipped with a common one.

"Again, anti-ghost, is it? I don't know if it's like some kind of combat magic trick."

Grace frowned.

"The Ayatsuji brothers and sisters also have Hitaca's magic prop making skills. I also have the Yin Yang technique and communication doll making techniques, and I think they are likely to be reflected in the gear. You don't think it's just protective equipment, you need to be very careful."

With that said, everyone nodded with a serious look. From what I can tell from the video, is this the place?

Since there are various possibilities for hidden weapons such as dark vessels being planted, strengthening physical abilities, etc., predictions will be made as long as time permits, and corresponding measures will also be discussed.

Then - we have to contact King Ignado as well.

For example, before the big battle, if you find out what kind of day you need, you promise to join the reinforcements with a transfer if possible. Originally a scroll entanglement is a disciplined matter. I guess we should pick up King Ignado, as promised, more than we could have predicted for their arrival time as well.

The Sirius and our lurking grass are covered with Halvaronist magic, waiting for their arrival. Explorers positioned along the road, the Haiders, also know the exact position of the enemy... but they are regrouping near the settlement.

"- Hmm. The enemy commander seems to be cautious inside."

When he told the situation, King Ignado, who had joined him, said as he conceived.

"I'm sure he's competent, but he's the kind of person in public office who's been repeating human experiments."

"Mm-hmm. No need for palms, no forgiveness."

Sometimes I used to report the situation to the west with regular reports on the comms, and King Ignado knows exactly what the situation is even though he hasn't been here for a while, and there's plenty of war going on. I'm getting pneumonia with Ingway.

"- Apparently, the enemy is going to send out a small number of reconnaissances to see how the settlement is going."

Cautious, as King Ignado evaluated it. To the point that we are arriving in Hitachi and trying to make contact with the ghosts, Sakio also had information, so it is not clear that we will be cautious here.

That's why two men with kasas and a knife on their hips were elected, and they seem to go ahead and check on the settlement.

That's how we proceeded along the road and along the sprawling stretch of the fields - the men were to see hunters and farmers.

The sight of a hunter lowering his hips on the side of the road and colluding with a farmer working in a field.

The hunter is Ichiemon. The farmer who works in the field is also a subordinate of Ithiemon, who is seconded by Hitaca. My men's ninjas are from the countryside, which means the disguise and the field work went into the hall.

"How about you ask those guys?

"Isn't that nice? One of them's a hunter, right?

The men of reconnaissance approach the Ichiemons in such conversation. The Ithiemons who were joking also noticed the men approaching, so he turned his gaze and acted a little surprised there.

"Oh, it's so rare to have guests in one country like this."

"Right. I don't know where the Takeshi family is."

And, Ichiemon and the others exchange words, and stand up and meet the men. The pair of scouts nodded small when they glanced at each other a little in response. Let's talk about it first, I guess.

"Excuse me, but those there. It's also on the edge of something that we met here. Can I talk to you for a second?

"Oh, I don't mind that...... what can the Takeshi family do for you in such a despicable place?

It was a question of being somewhat suspicious while not being rude. As a flow, it can be described as a natural act.

"Hmm. In public. I heard about the ghosts going out into the mountains, so I came to investigate."

"Oh, well, that's a difficult thing to do."

To the word of reconnaissance, Ichiemon's men round their eyes.

"... Lack of courtesy to say,"

A samurai and a magician. I guess that's the kind of lie I had prepared from the start because of the large number of people who are equipped and withholding them. If ghosts are opponents, it's no wonder that armed faces arrive in adult numbers.

"I seem to have prepared a bold lie inside... but since you said that visitors were rare, did you decide that no one had come here yet?

"Or maybe that's what you're putting exploration into. If you feel in danger, you can run away."

Stephania and Ashley exchange words like that when they hear what the conversation is about. Right. I think the view is right.

The conversation from Haider is still going on.

"But what is an investigation of mountain ghosts? They have terrible powers, but they don't usually come down to people. The monsters gathered near ghosts are more troublesome than that."

Let Ichiemon talk and hear all the information he gathers from the settlements and the monsters. If you're heading for an investigation, there's usually a mix of useful information, and there's no lies there. I don't have to put my back together because I'm only telling the truth, and even if a third party asks me, I don't have any trouble.

"Damn... sounds like you're in the middle of something. What do you think? Is it possible to have a mountain of ghosts show you around?

"Well, I'd like to beg your pardon. I've never been in a mountain where the ghosts live in horror before in my life. Well... I can show you where to start and which mountain to go from. There's a beautiful plain that leads to the mountains. Come on."

"Hmm? Is that plain close?

"Get out of the settlement and you'll be there in a little walk."

In response to such ichiemon, the two nod face to face.

... Did you eat it? Even the local hunters can't guide us to the site, but we know which mountain it is, and by doing so, we're taking them out to the plains.

It is a little unknown whether the two scouts will come here to call the main unit, or move together just to ask for the necessary information, but either way, that plain is a passage to the mountains inhabited by ghosts.

If they're going for that mountain, they have to go. Later...... it will only be the difference between late or early.
