Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

12 Stories Huang Lao and Sheehan

While I redone my toast and was making a joke, I talked about Old Huang.

It was spoken from his own mouth that he was a residual orphan named Shokichi Tanaka.

"Why Huang Lao in the first place?

"In this country, energy is the only thing that calls an old man."

Speaking of which, Sheehan remembered that Old Huang used to be called Tian (Tian) Adult (Darren).

Since when did that become known as Old Huang?

"Born and raised around here, right?

"Oh, yeah"

"Wasn't it hard? I don't know what a land pattern is..."

"Is that an anti-Japanese ideological implication?

"Yeah, well"

Looking at Yangichi, who seemed awkward somewhere, Old Huang leaked his grin all the time.

Then I drank the sake I had accumulated at the bottom of the glass, and then opened my mouth again.

"Yang-ee, do you know how long this country's anti-Japanese ideas have been around?

"Uh, since after the war... right?

"It wasn't more than half a century ago. Something like the last quarter century at best."

"What!?"

"Until then, for this country, Japan was a close but not sure country. When you were a kid, didn't you think of this country in Japan?

What do you think?

I also feel like that if you ask me, but I didn't really remember.

"You know this country is messing with a lot after the war, right? I made enemies outside to deflect attention from such failures, something like that. If the centre wants to do so, the whole country will. For better or worse."

There has been something eye-catching about the recent developments in this country here.

I actually walked around town and there were a lot of things that I thought were more convenient than Japan.

Is that the result of this country's better politics?

"Did you think it was a good town?

"Yeah, well"

"Thanks for that. But the region is terrible."

The only thing Yaichi has seen is a very small part of this big country.

That alone can be considered dangerous to think good and bad.

There may be a great distortion in the invisibility, but I don't think I can help thinking about it any more, and Yaichi wore a glass that was left about half way up.

"Sheehan tells me. I want my knife back."

That's what Old Huang said as if he had read that Yangichi had tried to change the subject.

"Follow me."

Guided by Huang Lao was a place large enough to be called a small museum.

There, the artwork was arranged neatly.

"Everything Sheehan gave me."

"hehe, wow"

He was a proudly chested Sheehan, but all this is stolen goods.

Yaichi looked at her deliberately and narrowly.

"Oh, haha... bragging, oh heh"

You guessed Yangichi's intentions, Sheehan cheeked pompously as she drew a smile.

Huang Lao, seeing her like that, had a soft grin.

"Well, Yang-ee"

Old Huang changes his expression and turns back to Yangichi.

"Can you return these to the hands of those who deserve them?

"... it"

Huang Lao smiled gently at Yangyi, wondering how he had answered.

"I don't do anything that explores your identity. I don't ask you what way to take it. Just can you answer me if I can?

"Uh, you can..."

"Great. Then I'll return all this to Japan through you"

To Old Huang's words, Sheehan opened his eyes.

"Grandpa, yeah...?

"Oh. I've had enough fun already. Thanks, Sheehan."

That's what Old Huang said, stroking Sheehan's head.

"Well, how do you keep this?"

"I mean, would you believe me if I told you I could use magic?

"Magic......?

Magic here is not a technique used in different worlds, but synonymous with paranormal abilities.

"How did I get the artwork out of Ako's hotel?

"Um, I'm asking Sheehan. As far as the footage goes, it was like a trick..."

So Yaichi clasped his hands in plain sight on the rather large gold screen that was nearby and stored it.

"Become...!?"

Old Huang raised his voice to the sudden disappearance of a gold screen the size of which was also difficult to hold up.

"Well, this is how it goes, you can carry as much stuff as you want here."

I revealed my hand to Lao Huang here because I thought that there was nothing to say where I was known, rather than whether I could trust him or not.

He almost seems to decide to hide, and he won't want Yangichi's skills any more.

I would do about as much to help the government if asked, but basically I seem to only think about relaxing for the rest of my life, so I don't have the benefit of telling others about my skills.

Though a little sorry, Yangichi decided so after [appraising] Huang Lao's thoughts with the meaning of self-defense as well.

"Heh heh... Oh my God. Well, I didn't know you'd still be surprised at this age. It's a long life."

After saying that like I was heartily impressed, Old Huang turned his back on Yangyi.

"You wanted a knife. This way."

Walking out, Old Huang led Yang Yila to a space decorated with swords.

And from the swords lined up, he waves a great sword, and lifts it up.

"I wonder if this was it"

Old Huang, who only looks like an old man in a slight shape, was slightly surprised that his out-of-the-box physical abilities might be high, while Yangichi received a machete.

"Yeah, for sure."

The received machete was [appraised] and confirmed to be what it was intended for.

"Can I keep everything we have here?

"Oh, there are no two words. Do as you please."

Huang Lao's collection has many Muromachi era items from Kamakura.

Especially with regard to swords, they seemed to prefer objects with higher capabilities as weapons as works of art, and besides the intended knife, knives, knives and sidearms were also a delicacy.

Regardless of the knife striking the so-called two-handed machete, the armpit striking the machete and the machete situated in the middle of it were not very active in action.

But the famous artisans of the same period hit it, so [Appraisal +] gave me ink about its performance.

"Then put all the rest away, too."

"Okay."

Some of the collections belonged to this country and others, so only Japanese items were sorted and stored.

"I'm so refreshed."

Old Huang, smudging and whining as he looked around the empty collection room, seemed to sampling somewhere.

Sheehan, who sees such old Huang, looks a little sad too.

"Wong Lao, if you like, would you please decorate this?

Seeing those two, Yaichi took some of the artwork he had taken out of the Scarlet Spica Hotel the other day and arranged it.

"Is this... okay?

"Well, there's a lot going on in the dark market."

Sometimes the owner voluntarily puts it up for sale, while being dumped without knowing its value, not everything is stolen, such as what has been found lucky.

Of course, they are precious cultural property of Japan, so if you don't have one, it should be held by a country, a municipality, or some kind of organization.

"I mean, if you get tired of it, you give it back."

However, Yangichi thought that I could keep it for a while enough to entertain the old man's short, old Huang eyes.

He's not on the side of justice or anything.

"Thank you. I'll take care of it."

"Yang-ee, come on. Let me thank you too."

Old Huang and Sheehan bowed their heads together.

"Phew..."

"Nfu... haha...!

With their heads up at the same time, they started laughing with Couscous after they matched each other.

Sheehan, stay well.

"Yeah. Grandpa, live long."

There were tears in Sheehan's eyes, smiling and saying so.

After all his errands, Yang Yi left Lao Huang's former place.

"... so Sheehan was following us?

"Soya."

"Are you sure about Old Huang?

"Grandpa gave me time a long time ago, but I didn't have anything to do with it."

There was also a path of being hired directly by the government, but Lao Huang did not allow it.

I guess I was going to make you free one day.

"So you found something to do?

"That's not true, but if I stayed with Yanyi, what a funny thing to do"

"Well, if Sheehan's okay with it, I'm fine with it."

"Yang-ee, come on! Nice to meet you too, Alana!

"Yes, nice to meet you"

"Um, nice to meet you"

Regardless of Yaichi, who exchanged bodies, something like a federation was created with a group of women who shouldn't even be dating much, and Sheehan was so accepted.

It may be the effect of [healthy body beta], but Yaichi did not think deeply.

After [returning] Minori and Alana to another world, Yaichi took Sheehan out of the country normally and stepped down to Japan.

Jean Chelsea was on national and international alert as a female thief and as a spy, but without any scratches on Shu Sheehan's background, she was able to leave the continent without any problems.

"Grandpa, come on"

Because it would be the shackles of an intelligence battle, Sheehan's face information, as well as fingerprints and DNA information, did not allow Wong Lao to store any.

- I let you fully indulge me, so I'll give it back, Al.

A piece of art stolen by a female thief, Jean Chelsea, will be returned with such a message to the person or group that it should be, but that is still a little further.
