Going through the woods and along the plains for a while, there is a town called Plymouth.
Those heading to the Wang capital Caputo are quite large because of a town that always stops by once before going through the Silva Forest.
If it was daytime, it might be different from the carriage, or the anims for transport, but now that it was late at night, there were no signs of people in the streets at all.
Me and Lily unintentionally unraveled the anima a little further from Plymouth and took the magic lighted lamp out of the bag.
The rest is far enough on foot.
Well, even if you set foot in the primus with anima, anima will be forced to disarm you in town.
In this world, there are ores called ”elephants”.
Is it right to say that Zoub exists in the basement of most towns that exist in this world - or that a town was created above where Zoub is buried?
It has the power to transform the surrounding terrain into a earth with properties that conveniently render only certain magic powers powerless.
The point is that under its influence, anima cannot be expressed.
Primus, of course, was buried in the basement of the king's capital, Caputo, so he could not express his anima outside the training grounds where special treatment was applied.
In some cases, they dug up the elephant buried in the basement, moved it elsewhere, and then they built a town around it, basically because the elephant is a delicate ore, so you think it's a less desirable way to use it, given the risks when transporting it?
If it was accidentally destroyed, Anima would ravage the town as it were, because it could be anything.
"Mr. Shirotsume, can you hear me?
As I was walking to Plymouth, I heard someone from inside the bag I had kept from Planus.
Or the voice of Pranas himself.
"I'm talking from Oracle Stone, if you hear me, please respond"
That stone was named Oracle Stone.
It looks like a national treasure.
"Hey Cape, I can hear something in the bag."
"Probably from now on"
When I stuck my hand in the bag, I took out the blunt glowing stone.
"I kept it from Planus before I left the King's Capital, because I could make a call with another stone to pair."
"Convenient when it comes to convenience, but you don't have to rely on that stuff as long as you can use a smartphone..."
"You can't charge in this world, and there's no radio."
'If you're hearing me, please respond, Mr. Shirotsume!
Planus' tone is getting angry.
Ignoring it any more is going to break my mood, it's time to get back to him.
"I hear you. Now we're safely through the Silva Forest, headed for Plymouth."
"Good. I was surprised to hear you launched an attack on Mizuki without running away, refrain from acting prominently until you go to the Empire!
"Because I'm not going to be running. As long as we have a chance, we will continue to set up aggressively, we will not give in just there"
'Ha... well, that's what it's all about for Mr. Shirotsume, so you can't tell him not to. But don't die or get caught before you go to the Empire, because it's all gonna ruin' em. '
Screw you.
Until I finish my revenge, I'm not going to die saying I was killed.
"Oh, so you could rendezvous safely with Mr. Akabane, too."
"You don't have to say that. You knew Lily was ambushing me at that point, didn't you?
"I'm the one who brought the consultation, don't attack Mr. Planus too much"
It's hard to blame Lily for saying that.
If they'd asked me about the fact that Lily was waiting for me before I got out of jail, it could have ended differently.
"What do you do after you stop by Plymouth? You might find a place to stay, but it's close to Caputo, so it's possible you'll be caught up with your chaser soon. '
When I heard what Pranas had to say, I looked back at the lid.
Despite the fact that it is night, the sky is slightly dazzling as a sunset.
Looks like you're taking good care of yourself.
"Silva, I set the forest on fire, and you haven't gotten that far yet?
"What, yeah, yeah!? Did you burn that vast forest!?
"As far as that reaction is concerned, it seems to have been an effective means."
"Forest fires were a pretty big deal in our world, and we don't have much means to extinguish them in this world, do we? Unless it's an anima."
'Mr. Akabane is right. Then Ivy will be stuck with the firefighting work for a while, won't he? Because it has a higher priority than tracking. The way it's done is too bold, but you can think of room.'
"Then we'll spend the night in Plymouth, and if we can refill the food, we'll head to the next town tomorrow morning."
"Dinde is ahead of Primus, a town full of agriculture, an idyllic place."
"I can't afford to be slow enough to enjoy the idyllicity."
I think it's time to get to Plymouth.
I can't even talk about it while showing off my national treasure, so I put Oracle Stone in a bag.
Walk through an arch that says "Welcome to Plymouth" and step into a wooden township.
There's nobody here.
"Time's up, so let's find an inn and get some rest."
Savings is screaming even though I'm not that old because I tormented a body that hasn't moved in a long time.
In a few more hours, the night should be dawn, but I just want to sleep for those hours.
I don't think I can do it today.
"... I can't do that, and the lilies aren't physically tough."
"Would you do something about it if I told you I was in the mood?
"At least a little further away from Caputo."
"That's right, I knew it"
She pulled back lightly, but I was a little relieved that she wanted it.
It's not just deception and deception, but I still can't grasp our renewed relationship.
It's not just a dependence on favors.
What does a lily want now, mixed with hatred and anger, but still unable to cut off her untraining of me?
That's what I've always been anxious about.
"I wish there was a sign somewhere, like a guide to the inn"
Lilies looking for lodging while looking around the area kyorokyoro.
I kind of shook her hand like that.
Lily looks at her own hand grabbed properly.
"Let's take our time."
"... yeah, that's right"
After all, I don't know if we need such an act of adolescence between us, maybe Lily wants it.
But only now, I wanted to walk hand in hand at random.
Lily accepted that, too.
That's just it.
The inn was found more quickly than I thought, and I was able to gain peace in the meantime.
The next morning, when we got up later than usual, we picked breakfast at the inn and rolled out to Main Street, where the town's shops lined up to buy food and tools.
Though not as busy as Caputo, the streets are crowded and busy there.
Information on the fires in the Silva Forest has been passed down to Plymouth and the noise may also be affecting it.
The road to the Wang capital has also been closed, so many merchants are eating a stall in this town.
It doesn't matter to me whether the forest burns or crumbles.
Rather, the large number of merchants staying is enough to make a full shopping trip and help.
I knew I was right to burn it.
"Don't you have to buy a sleeping bag or something?
"Let's not do this because it's bulky, just minimal food and the groceries you need"
"I wonder if it's okay when you're in Nojuku or something"
"It shouldn't take you a day to get to the next town if you travel in Anima. If you can even get it in the carriage, you can buy it."
"He said he was going to get a carriage... how?
"... I don't know"
Though I tried Shirabara, Lily seemed somewhat conjectured.
Further down the street, I see a girl surrounded by two men.
Apparently, there's no atmosphere for knowing each other.
Although the girl manages to escape, the men grabbed her arm and took her to the alley.
"You were real insecure, not like Caputo"
Said the lilies, frightened by the men.
Originally, each town was sent about 1,2 knights from the kingdom, who were supposed to be working to maintain law and order.
Even though Anima cannot be used in the town, the level of physical ability characteristic of Anima use is healthy and, in some cases, skills can also be used.
There are only so many assholes selling fights to knights like that, or over-degreeed confidents.
Bandits and demons who, thanks to them, attack street merchants have also been driven away.
But since the beginning of the war against the Inheria Empire, the knights have been driven out to the battlefield.
Policing will be left to the vigilantes of each town, and although alternatives were taken to deploy anims from town to town or to hire the use of wild (...) animators operating as mercenaries, a deterioration in security could not be avoided.
"Lily, let's go"
"Huh? Oh, are you going to help?
You didn't think I was going to help people, she followed me to the alley, confused.
As soon as I bent off the street, I suddenly became unpopular, so much so that I assumed I might have gotten lost in different spaces.
The men who brought the girl in seem to be further behind it.
"Don't resist, it only takes a little pain, huh?
"No, please don't."
"Primus right now says it's bad for a girl to walk alone."
"It's different, haha!
Those inferior bastards are brilliant enough to laugh when you hear them.
I feel uncomfortable remembering water trees and cranes.
"Oh, scumbags don't change where they are in different worlds."
"I guess he's got his brain stuck to his lower body."
"Then don't think it's weird that you don't have more control over your lower body."
Indeed.
So you're not stuck in the brain in the first place?
I admire how well you've lived, well, until today, too.
"Hello, brains and brothers"
Approaching from behind the men trying to take off their pants and speaking up.
"Oh? Who is it?"
Skipping the cancer, the man one reached for the knife on his hips with or without a say.
Likewise, man number two takes out the knife.
There was no room for discussion, and I concluded that I would make eye contact with Lily.
I'll finish that one on the right, so Lily asked for the other one.
The experience of the Battle of the White Soldiers was only a few trainings in the King's Capital.
But the battle in Anima doesn't change on its own just because of the different sizes.
Kick the ground. Approaching the man.
Grabbing the wrist of a man with a knife, twisting it to his back.
A further twist with some effort conveys a dull sensation of gogi from the wrist.
Then the force fell out of the hand holding the man's knife.
I grab a knife trying to fall to the ground and stick it up the neck of a man.
I don't even give it to you while you make me beg for my life - and the zubuzub sinks as the blade rips through the skin, blood vessels, and meat.
He moved the knife to push the lever towards his throat, further pointing to the todome.
The cuddle, and a damp sound, cloudy and red blood flowing out of the wound.
"... ahhh..."
Thanks to his throat crushing, he never heard a wild scream, and the man one fell to the ground.
Blood flowing out of the neck wound spreads a red stain on the ground.
Lily, on the other hand, was kicking the man's two hands with his toes.
The knife he was gripping danced through the universe as he spun, and Lily, who grabbed the patterned part brilliantly, without hesitation pierced the neck of the man part 2.
I was going to leave it to you to act unscrupulous.
Really, you're gonna kill people lightly, too, Lily.
I didn't know you were so in love with me, Male Pluto... No, I'm exhausted in female Pluto.
"Did it work, me"
Excited, Lily asks me that as she tides her cheeks.
"No complaints, out of 100."
When she said that and stroked her head, she hung in a heartfelt joy.
The girl, the victim, was incontinent and looked at our interactions shaking her body.
"Hey, what... what are you guys?
"Oh, my God, I helped you."
"Sure, I wanted your help, but you shouldn't have had to kill me... why are you doing this"
Why did you kill him?
There is only one word I can answer to that question.
Simple and clear and sufficient.
There's no objection, there's a perfect answer.
"Because you're a man of the kingdom."
There is no existential significance in the kingdom that sheltered the water trees that killed the colorful flowers and impersonated their sins.
I mean, there's no need for anything other than ”being a man of the kingdom” to kill.
But the girl said, "I don't know what you're talking about," but she looked at me with a pompous look.
I knew faintly that they wouldn't understand that I must have spoken.
Decide that no more conversation is futile, then abandon the knife and leave the scene.
"Cape, didn't you have to kill that kid?
"I helped you because of it, but if I kill you, you look cute."
"Is it kind...?
"If I wasn't in the mood, I might have killed you."
"Oh, I knew it wasn't nice"
It's not about being nice or not being nice.
Uninterested, worthless, such a kingdom man kills all without exception.
Just the difference between that now or later.
In short, it's all just my whim.
