Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

In the corner of the Jana forest, this place had an incompatible container seated.

Gasoline-style generators were making noise right next to the container, but the animals and demons living in the woods don't seem to care about it because their sounds are blocked from their surroundings by witchcraft.

Big containers also have witchcraft of perception inhibition, which would be difficult to realize if you didn't know it was there.

A number of monitors were installed inside the container, where the view of the forest was shown.

It was a situation where video and audio from cameras and microphones installed in various parts of the forest were shown on monitors by wireless LANs built via multiple routers.

The equipment was made available to Charlotte, a former intelligence casino clerk, whose radio intensity and communication speed seemed to be considerable and whose performance was unfortunately exerted by a local area network not via the Internet.

"I mean, thanks to that awesome equipment, beautiful footage is showing up here almost in real time... Apparently"

Among the containers were Yaichi, Minori and Alana, members of Tokoroten, as well as Samantha, an alchemy blacksmith.

Instead of being asked to perform magic operations involving the concealment of generators and containers, he was given a tour.

Samantha, who has been granted [healthy body beta] in several relationships since then, has also become, not to mention, an associate member of Tokoroten.

"Um, honestly, I don't know, but it's amazing what technology is all about in different worlds!

Right next to Samantha I admire as I glanced at the monitor, Minori and Alana were also nodding yeah.

Perhaps these two barely understand Yangichi's explanation, but it would be fine if we finally knew that we could see what was going on in the woods on this occasion.

"But I didn't expect the three red flashes to work together."

At the end of Alana's gaze, whining half-hearted as she was impressed, was footage showing Greta, Meena and Jessica confronted by Mr. and Mrs. Dondo.

"Welcome to the Town Hall Forest. Welcome back, should I say, Yoko?

On the other side of the monitor, Greta in witch clothes said that in a way she was good at it.

"What do you mean, a town guard forest?

Minori asks Yangichi as she leans her neck when she hears that line.

"There's a low mountain right behind the Dondo family. There was a jungle called the Town Guard Forest."

But Yoko's father, Yozo, who was the predecessor of his predecessors during the bubble period, made it a further ground and made some of it a golf course.

"That's where I asked for a little help with the red flashing faces."

During the demonic mass outburst (Stampede), Yaichi is being saved by three red flashes of light.

Perhaps Alana's rescue would not have been possible in time without them, and Yaichi would have lost his life.

Since the end of the demonic mass outburst (Stampede), there has been some interaction between Tokoroten and the red flash.

"Greta is no better than I imagined..."

The setting is that Meena is the cat god living in the guarded forest, Jessica is the dog god, and Greta is the witch.

"Yoichi, which, why are you doing this kind of roundabout?

The original plan was to end by throwing Dondo parents and children out into Jana's forest.

The noise would have subsided sooner or later when the family of senators suddenly disappeared before the election, but an unlikely winning council candidate escaped under pressure.

"Somehow, I saw Meena and Jessica and I got pinned... I don't know what else to do, but if I took it seriously, it would be like standing on the same mound as those guys, and I don't like it."

"Hmm, I'll teach you everything you want, anyway?

"Like that."

Yaichi turned to the monitor with a slightly worse looking grin, and Alana and Minori moved their gaze to follow it as well.

"Hmm...... This line is connected to the“ ru "outside, and the“ ru ”signals from the“ shards ”."

Samantha, on the other hand, is more obsessed with the equipment Yaichi brought in, and apparently is not interested in farce plays on the other side of the monitor.

Speaking of which, Mr. Ok, you were usually shooting goblins.

Minori shrugged with a slightly bitter look as she remembered the first time she killed Goblin.

The aversion to killing the existence of a human form, albeit a demon, is considerable, so much so that some adventurers go out of business without overcoming the stress.

Nevertheless, Mrs. Dondo had defeated Goblin with a pistol blow and had since relentlessly fired upon nearby demons.

"That Mr. Ok, you seem to be an active person, not according to what you see. As a lady's bummer, she has a lot of experience shooting live ammunition overseas."

"Well, maybe...?

Yaichi, who sensed Minori's intention to cut off words along the way, shook his head with a gentle grin.

"It's just training, I don't seem to have any real combat experience. You must be feeling temporarily weird because you're so full of things right now."

Beyond the monitor Greta kept talking in a playful tone.

"You've seen it, too, haven't you? Live in these woods, alien beings!

'Ha... yes!

Yoko was kneeling right near Greta, speaking in a good tone, looking up at her as a witch dressed to admire.

My husband, Hiroko, was in, but for once he remained conscious and seemed to be listening.

"Mm-hmm. Speaking of which, why does that couple have Greta's word for it?

"I switched my usual wedding ring to a communicative magic tool."

"Because you made the exact same thing in design and size. I'm not gonna notice."

Two conversations were in my ear along the way, Samantha said so with a thin chest.

"Those are the yokai of the other world."

"O monster!?

'That's right. In the first place, the Todo family is the guardian of the gates that connect the different worlds with Nihon for generations. Yozo the earlier generation has foolishly destroyed its guarded gates.'

"Does that mean the gates are closed?

To Yoko's inquiry, Ese witch Greta shakes her head slowly with a harsh look.

'The loss of the forest has led the gates of the other world to another place...'

"Somewhere else? What the hell...... '

"It's a sea of fuji trees!

"Hey, what the hell!?

From there, Greta told Yoko how dangerous the monsters of the other world are, and how the monsters will eventually massacre Japan.

'Look, as a Todo family mission, you're going to inform a lot of people about this crisis. I don't have time for this anymore. If it's too late, Japan will eventually... No, the world will be doomed...'

After she told him so, Greta turned her heel back.

……

And blurry standing cat god thing meena and dog god thing jessica and face each other.

"You forgot those two steps?

Yaichi, who judged so from how Meena and Jessica were not responding to Greta's eyeballs, drew the microphone to hand and opened her mouth as she pressed the talkback switch.

"Meena, Jessica, for now!

Suddenly you were surprised that Yangichi's voice sounded in your ear, Meena and Jessica looked around with Kyorokyo after shaking her body with Bikun.

Her voice should have reached Greta as well, but she didn't move, especially.

"No, that's an instruction. I told you.

I went on to hear Yangichi's voice. Did the two recall the advance meeting, and turned to hurry.

"Okay, so while you're walking slowly, Meena's got [hiding]."

Using the [hidden] magic that Meena the Bandit specializes in, we make ourselves confused in the darkness.

'Oh! Wait!! Cat, God! Dog, God! Witch ah!!

From before Yoko, who reached down to kneel, the three disappeared like fog -

"- It should be, but it's disappearing from before the couple, isn't it, this?

But the three red flashes on the other side of the monitor just seemed to walk slowly away from the Todo couple.

"I see, the magic that can deceive people's eyes doesn't deceive Kikai's eyes either."

And Samantha seemed strongly interested in that.

"For now, the farce is over, Minori, shall we go?"

"Yes."

Yaichi and Minori, who left the container, ran out into the woods.

And Minori magically pruned the consciousness of Mr. and Mrs. Higashido, who were not so far apart in Yaichi's lead.

○ ● ○ ●

The Todo couple, who then returned to Japan, seemed incredible about their experiences and did not see any movement for a few days.

"So I'd like to see Dog God and Cat God again..."

"No, the farce is already dust..."

"Me too, a little..."

"Oh, I had a lot of fun, didn't I?

Yaichi, who gave up cooperation between reluctant Meena and Jessica, decided to ask Greta to continue working only.

If you ask me, she's originally aspiring to be an actress, and she has a history of having to give up her dreams and become an adventurer because of family circumstances?

So he enjoys the act of being given the script and playing it by remembering the lines.

The Todo and his wife then believed everything to be true because they had been taken to strange woods several times to receive a witch's warning and that their second son would not return.

"Hiroko Higashido, the guardian of the Town Guard Forest and the head of the Dongdo family, gave a warning directly from the witch! Danger is imminent right there!! To protect this country from the invasion of the monsters, no, it is not enough for me personally! The country has to move! And the world has to fight hand in hand!! Please, Hirosaki Higashido, give me a clean vote."

And he began to make full use of the money and connections that the Dondo family could have to complain about the crisis of invasion from different worlds.

The media reported with amusement the peculiar action taken by the incumbent senator, and Hiroshi was to be revoked from the approval of the opposition as a matter of course.

But it is where we want it if we try to be Mr. and Mrs. Dondo, and they launched a new political group called the 'Fuji Forest Township Association' and challenged the dissolution of the general election.

Needless to say, voters who lost their election, but who were amused by what could be termed the confusion of the incumbent, voted and had quite a few votes?

- Years later.

"Speaking of which, you haven't seen much about Mr. and Mrs. Dondo lately."

"I used to be on information variety and occult shows at first. Well, they're bees, so they used to run wild unrelated to performances and stuff, and they got hard to use on TV."

"After that, it seemed to be popular in online videos for a while."

"No jerk. So. You like people you like. Wow... it's getting more and more miserable."

He said he would throw his personal belongings and protect Japan.

"I guess they came at me..."

"Uh, the last video... you stopped a year ago"

"Are you serious when you go looking for the gates of the other world..."

"I have a lot of comments waiting for my return report...... you've been down a lot in the last month or two"

"You're tired of me."

"What actually happened?

"Uh............... I think I did my best behind the woods. You won't even be able to search this far."

"... I don't know, that's pathetic"

"Well, you deserve it"
