Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

Before winter came, my place, which was a joint room between the two, became a single room.

Born in the poor countryside, a private room is a luxurious situation that I dream of, but I can't help but smile at myself.

I didn't notice when I was using it by myself. The signs of another person's life fade every day.

Instead, it's chilly that keeps coming in.

It's not as cold or harsh as winter, but it's strange.

As I exhale alone, the sound of knocking is followed by Miss Micah peeking into her face.

"Ash-kun, is it okay now?

"Yeah, I don't mind. What's the matter?"

"I just wanted to talk to you."

Miss Micah sat on my bed and smiled like a big flower.

Am I feeling a bit depressed because of the off-season impression?

I knew it was weird.

As I sat in the chair and confronted Miss Micah, she murmured as she looked around the room.

"I'm still not used to Ash-kun being alone in your room."

"... is that so?"

"That's right. When I came to this room, Ash-kun was lying on his desk and Arthur was peeking at it from behind. Otherwise, sit in this bed."

Micah slaps herself in the palm of her hand in the immediate vicinity where she lowered her hips.

"The two of us have a serious face and we're having fun talking. Because that was the view of this room."

Sure, I spent most of my time like that.

I can't remember the end of the conversation when we were alone. When it's quiet, it's only when one of you is thinking hard. The idea becomes the next topic.

"I was jealous of Arthur. That's amazing."

Miss Micah's cheeks swelled as she was pregnant.

"I've always wanted to talk to Ash-kun... Talk as much as you want, and when you're tired, sleep... and when you wake up, talk to me again..."

The swollen Micah's cheeks are pumping out with a sigh.

"Arthur, it must have been fun. I hope you don't miss me by now."

Apparently, Miss Mayka herself misses one of her friends.

An off-season flower smile would have been good.

"I'm sure Arthur misses you too."

How dare you try to cry the morning you leave here?

"Besides, I miss you too. You miss Micah, don't you?

In response to my question, Miss Micah shook her lips with strength. I think you're worried that I might miss you more.

She is a very kind woman.

However, I have more mental leeway for the memory of my previous life, so I would like you to sweeten it here.

When I nodded and smiled that I was okay, Miss Micah looked down and admitted that she was lonely.

"Of course. So we were together, we talked a lot, we did a lot. There is no way that this many of my friends can go far away and feel lonely."

Naturally, I would spare no effort. Instead, you'll miss me a lot, delighted to meet such an important companion.

It is also an important illusion in living a bitter reality.

When I stroked Miss Micah's back and told her that she didn't have to force herself, she nodded small and pressed her face against my arm.

"I miss you, Ash-kun...."

Yeah, me too.

Looking down at the trembling Micah's head, my heart was swallowed by Big Wave and drowning.

In a private bedroom, a woman crying comes to me.

What a destructive force. If you encounter this situation, even a gentleman like you can peel off his skin.

A gentleman has transformed into a werewolf.

Good luck, Ash.

Working with her here will wipe out the trust we've built up.

I spent a long, long time just looking at the warmth of my left arm.

I didn't know what would happen if we were a little older.

Fifteen years old. If we were that old, my inner Pathos and her charm might have combined to transform Arthur Cité.

Micah, whose sobbing subsided, looked up with her wet eyes.

It's cute to say you're still young, but even violent. If Miss Mayka does this at the age of 20, she has no choice but to propose.

"Ash...."

I was still asked by my trembling lips with a faint voice.

"Ash is gone, isn't he? We can still be together in this city, right?

As I grabbed the sleeves of my clothes and was asked by my superiors, I immediately wanted to nod.

However, my reason, known for its intelligence, moderation and fame, suppressed my emotional runaway.

"I don't know what's gonna happen to that..."

I'm sorry for the girl I miss, but I'll be honest with you.

The majority of international students, including Miss Mayka, still work in the city for several years after spending two years at the Military Children's Association.

It is an internship period to re-learn what I learned in the second year of the Military Sons' Association in the field and properly wear it.

However, I was granted special permission to participate in the Military Children's Association at Mrs. Yuika's pleasure.

Unlike Miss Mayka and other international students, she is usually in a position to return to the village immediately. If you try to sit in the city too hard, Mrs. Yuika will be in trouble.

Besides, it's about my parents.

My father is still working hard and there is help between villagers, but it should be a considerable burden for me to play outside when I am my eldest son and become a workforce member.

Somehow, you let yourself go for two years, so you should go home once.

Those two thoughts were mainly tightened by the concern for Mrs. Yuika, and her breath leaked.

"Again, as a point of view, I think we should go back to the village."

While I have such a good idea, I still want to be in the city.

I intend to stay.

Sometimes it's full.

The planning of the struggle will become more and more interesting, and the temple's books have not yet been read out. It is also difficult to discard the network of cities that we have built.

As a matter of fact, Sir George's position as an aide to the consulate and his assistance in the administration office were also part of the effort to increase the likelihood of staying.

I am a special slot participant, but I can do my job, so please continue to work after the military children's meeting.

Please!

Someone was planning on saying that.

Then, I can say that Yuika, her parents, and other outdoors have asked me to do it.

Above all, if you decide to work, you can live without any help.

Mr Quid's chamber of commerce brings in income, but I can't afford to live alone because I've spent most of my time researching things.

Until now, Madame Yuika had sent me to live with Miss Mayka. In other words, you were studying abroad with village taxes.

It was so much fun.

I was angry when I used the blood tax, but I learned that the pleasure wasn't halfway when I used it. It tastes forbidden.

Anyway, it was about time that the military children's meeting ended, so no one invited me, who was excited about inviting me.

It is quite depressed.

No, I don't think so. Sir Georges and Itsuki must have been busy with Arthur.

I'm sure it is.

I don't want to think about any other reasons.

I don't want to think that it would be reassuring as a politician to have people move a little farther away because it's a little dangerous.

Well, it looks like you've all settled down by now, and it's still about a month before the Sons' Military Association was dissolved.

Someone is going to talk to me.

I'm sure.

Probably.

Probably.

If not, we need to talk about limit breaks.

So, I think it's pretty much going to stay in the city. I just haven't confirmed it.

When I smiled to reassure Miss Micah, there was a girl with carnivorous eyes chasing after her prey.

There were no tears that had been zero until now, no signs of trembling with loneliness.

There was a creature that had found a prey to kill with all its vitality.

"Ash-kun, I've got a little emergency. I'm coming."

Ah, yes.

Miss Micah's quiet voice scared her spine.

The boulder is Mrs. Yuika's son. I'm going to fall in love with that voice.

After all, I might prefer a tough woman to a woman who cries and sweetens me.

Miss Micah, I'm actually glad you didn't cry earlier.

But what kind of emergency did Miss Mayka have?
