Isekai Ryouridou

My heart hits my chest like an early bell.

The smell and temperature of Ey-Fa take away my normal thinking abilities.

That's how I got on top of him.

He passed straight over me and stretched his arm over the wall.

"Don't move... if you move, the air will be disturbed"

Whispering in his throat, Ai-Fa returned to his original position.

But that hand still covers my mouth.

And - the fingertips of the opposite hand were gripped by a machete that was hanging on the wall.

"Earlier, someone was stealing the inside of the room from that window. Now we're going around the back of the house."

Really?

I had an idiotic imagination, and I was about to weaken like I had all my bones ripped out.

but not if you are weak.

We were attacked in our sleep just a few days ago and caught up to the point of being awkward.

Now who the hell is trying to do what?

I can't feel a thing, like signs of people.

"In the direction, you're in the back of the room on the left. Just the side where the window in that room is.... Two years ago, the eldest brother of the Sung family broke through the plaid of that window and stepped inside the house"

That was an unfortunate fit, without analogy.

But the diga, along with Dodd and Tay, should have been taken away to Dom's house in the northernmost part of the woods. They should not have been given as much freedom as Mida, who had been jeopardized for their future predisposition.

"I'll go outside and see how it goes. You wait in the house. When I do, close the candle so it doesn't make a sound."

It was time I shook my neck sideways and grabbed Ai-Fa's wrist softly instead of being able to speak.

Ai-Fa blinks her eyes a little more.

"Life would be in danger if they could use strange poisonous grass again, or even set the house on fire. Don't be dramatic. There are two or so opponents. I'm not the one who takes annoyance and lag."

…………

With all due respect, I flirt back with Ai-Fa.

Then this time, I smiled a little bitterly.

"If the opponent is more hands-on than I am, I'll even pull him over to the river of rants and poke him down. Whatever it is, I'm not free to move if you're around. I wish you all the best in this place."

…………

"I'm fine. I swear I won't waste my life."

That's what I said, Ai-Fa took her hand off my mouth.

And - at that fingertip where I got my freedom, I wander around the middle of my neck and chest.

"I'm sure your wish will leave the disaster behind."

There, the blue stone I gave you was supposed to be shaking.

I keep my eye-fa wrist grabbed, and it's time to get up.

"... go outside. Don't make a sound, all right?

At the end he had a hunter-like brave grin before Ai-Fa rose loosely.

Exactly the kind of thing that doesn't disturb the air.

I'm not a hunter. I move my body as slowly as I can so as not to make the floor or anything.

Ai-Fa picked up the knives along the way, too, and with the machete lowered them to his waist, he headed to the front door with a smooth footing like a wild animal.

He pulls the candlestick out of the doorboard and gives it to me, while he looks at me again.

"When I close the doorboard, hang the candlestick. You're never gonna leave the house until I call you, are you?

That's how Ai-Fa carefully pulled open the doorboard and let his gaze circle across the darkness before leaving.

Hanging a candlestick on a closed doorboard again, (What the hell is this about?) and I get bored.

Now that the Sung family threat has left, why should Fa's house call uninvited guests?

No way, a rats or gaz man who applied to Ai-Fa for a dowry?

No, it's hard to imagine that there are such nasty men besides the Sung family.

But whoever it is, I don't think it's a legitimate business to take a peek at people's homes this late at night.

So... are you from the castle?

It is also an inexplicable story.

There should be no reason for Fa's house to be targeted by a castle person at the moment.

Or, unless per camua is also a snitch, you won't even be able to explore the location of Fa's house in the person of the castle.

I have no idea.

When I finished hanging the candlestick, it was time to sneak my footsteps again and rely on the moonlight to get closer.

A santoku knife, a vegetable cutter, and a knife, arranged on a plate. Well, I grabbed a little knife, the shape of Ai-Fa's father, and I grabbed it on my hips, too.

(It's ok...... whoever they are, Ai-Fa shouldn't be so late......)

When I thought of it that way.

From the back of the house, he said, "Uh-huh!" I heard a man scream.

And the dull tone of something slamming against the walls of the house and the groaning like a strangled animal.

After that, silence.

I made up my mind and lit a fire with Lana's leaves.

Transfer that fire to the candlestick and then head to the doorboard behind the house.

I'm not going out of the house. That's what the parents say.

But if you want to look out the window from inside the room, there will be no danger.

Out of the three doorboards, hands on the 1st left.

This is a storage shed with broken doorboards, wood and scarecrows and other household items that we don't use very often on a daily basis.

It was time for me to pull open the doorboard so I wouldn't make a sound and step behind it.

The window is empty on the opposite wall.

As I approached you and set the candlestick fire outside the window - the side of the eye-fa that shined the hunter's glance seemed so close to me that I couldn't even think of it.

"You're here, Asta.... Fair enough. Then give me that candlestick."

I gave him a candlestick from between the lattices, as instructed by Ai-Fa.

Even with a glimpse of darkness and a machete-covered posture, Ai-Fa receives the candlestick with the opposite hand.

"Never come outside, Asta. It's not like there's a bunch of people lying around."

"Ah, oh. But are you all right? What a liar..."

I tried to stick to the plaid of the tree and somehow follow the eye-fa's gaze.

In the dark, someone is nodding.

He seems quite fit. … it is also a man by the woods, not wearing a fur cloak but wrapped in a whirlpool pattern outfit.

"You shameless bastards. I didn't expect you guys to be so stupid. You ruined the last path of redemption you had left."

"No! I'm not! I didn't mean to hurt you!

Lost restraint, the screaming of a young man.

It was more squeamish than I remember, it was so weak even though it was shouting, it was degenerating as if it were someone else's voice - but I never misheard it.

"How could - how could you be in a place like this!?

Without knowing it, I think my voice was full of anger.

The man nodded in the darkness and shook his round back frighteningly, raising his sad voice again.

"And believe me. Really, that's not what I've been trying to get away with... oh, we're here to help you guys - and you're here to help us!

Raise your face and try to sneak up on Ey-Fa as you stand on your knees.

When Ai-Fa stuck a machete's cut at the tip of his nose, the man curled and flipped backwards.

The light of the blue and white moon shines upon his face.

It was a lot crumbly, dirty in tears and mud, but sparsely, the face of the eldest brother of the former Sung main house.

"Stupid... there's no way to save you guys. If you can't even fulfill your job as a hunter, decay into the woods."

"No! I'm not! We haven't run away from the Dom family... no, we've run away from the Dom family too, but we haven't! Please! Help me!

"I don't know why. Asta, there would have been a bunch of crawling grass in that room. Give it to me. Tie your hands and feet and hand them over to the Dom family"

"Wait! If they turn us over to the Dom family like this, we're really gonna be skinned!

Scream again in the shape of fear, and look around at the darkness at night around you with your nearly insane eyes.

"So, but, okay! If you're gonna tie me up, tie me up! I won't resist! I'm not even running away from the Dom house anymore! I promise you absolutely! But before you do, listen to us... and let us in the house as soon as you can! also, if he comes after me, you could be killed too, ii-fa!?

"Who is he? There are only as many of you around these woods trying to harm us."

"Oh, that's not true! He must resent you for destroying Sung! If you don't want to die, let me in the house ASAP! After all, he was a monster... no matter how much you, I'm sure you won't be able to kill him!

"So who are you talking about with him? What you're saying is ruptured."

Diga, the eldest brother of the former Sung main house, finally has a crying face - and in a finely trembling voice, he said.

"It's Zazz-Sung... of my previous parents, it's Zazz-Sung! We've been running away from him! Please! Let us in your house before he comes after you!

◇

We were supposed to welcome uninvited visitors into the house.

There are two visitors. Digga and Dodd.

I couldn't see it from my position, but Dodd, who had fallen and lay on his back, was being stomped on by Ai-Fa.

Such uninvited guests are snooping in the lower seats.

Of course, its arms are tied with hind hands, and its feet, too, are restrained in such a way that only a stride of about thirty centimeters is allowed. It is possible to walk but impossible to run.

And they were round hips from the start.

Without a knife, without a hunter's clothes, they were dressed and fled Dom's house.

"Zazz-Sung would have been captured in Gene's house as a prisoner. What the hell are you talking about wanting me to save you from that Zazz-Sung?

An eye-fa sitting in the upper seat with a single knee flashing Digga and Dodd with a shooting eye.

"Oh, it was Zazz-Sung who got us out of the Dom family. He set fire to Dom's settlement and came to help me where my family was fluttering... We ran away from the Dom family with Tay-Sung for four..."

"What, didn't you run off on your own will after all?"

"Oh, that would have to be it!? I was told to choose whether to decay on this occasion or run away with it! If you defied me, they would have killed you on the spot! That's what Zazz-Sung is..."

That kind of thing, that's supposed to be their grandfather.

Tay-Sung of the branch is still unnatural to call the blood close flesh parents Zazz-sung as well.

"But wasn't a man named Zazz-Sung being offended by a disease? It was like a dried animal with only bones and skin left, and it was endangered if it could even stand the journey to the Gene family."

"Oh. I've been so weak over the last few years that I can't even walk on my own feet... but I'm sure he's also learned that the Sung family has perished. So, I came back... it looked just like bones and skin, but those eyes... oh, those eyes were the same as before I fell ill. I should have screwed him in a little while, but he got his powers back the way they used to..."

That being said, Diga began to tremble its body when she wandered around again.

Next to it, Dodd remains silent and depressed.

Both cheeks are sluggish, their complexions earthy, and all over their bodies dirty with mud and grass leaves. There is no trace of dust left, such as former arrogance.

Has your soul been exhausted in just three days, or is it from your fear of Zazz-Sung - maybe both?

"... Zazz-Sung said he would regain the hegemony of the Sung family. To the fool who betrayed the Sung family, he put down the hammer, and the Sung family became the head of the woodland again..."

It was Dodd who added that.

It is a blurry, gloomy voice.

Would this man have had this voice? That unreliable voice was just as different as someone else's.

"Oh, yeah! I thought I was going to save the rest of my family and get out of the woods... oh, that's ridiculous..."

"If you think it's ridiculous, should you praise it on the spot?

"Yes, I said everything I could! We persuaded them that there were still Luu people in Sung's settlement, that all Sung's families had joined hands with the Luu family, and that we could no longer defy them!

"Then... he laughed."

Dodd's voice trembled unreliably, too.

The dark blue eyes that used to dazzle us like mad dogs stare at us like they're frightened.

"If there were four of us, enough, and... like a demon, he was laughing. He laughed like crazy that his parents, Zullo, etc. could only save him after regaining hegemony, restoring the order that these four should have by the woods..."

"So, that's why we, in the gap where he fell asleep, ran away!

"... apparently the man named Zazz-Sung has even been offended by the disease in the contents of his head. There's only four of us. What can we do?

"Hey, you won't be able to do anything. All I can think about is attacking Lew's parents and you guys."

Diga's eyes look weakly at me and Ai-Fa.

"But if he finds out why the Sung family was destroyed, he'll be the number one hater of the fa who uncovered the great sin, won't he? So we..."

"You came to tell us about the emergency, do you mean? Then why don't you just knock on the doorboard from the start?

"Oh, you guys resent us, don't you? I didn't think you could honestly open the doorboard, so I was trying to find a way to sneak in..."

"Do you think you can earn the trust of others in that way?

Digga shrunk down to "hiya" with Ai-Fa only reinforcing her narrative a little bit.

It is no longer pathetic to go through the hilarious.

Normally the opposite may be true, but as far as I'm concerned, I was under the impression.

Ai-Fa squirmed her hair loose and flew her grumpy gaze at me.

"Asta, what do you think?

"Yeah? Well, yeah...... I just want to make sure one thing before I do, what happened to Tay?

"Teh, Tae-Sung said he would be fated with Zaz-sung. That's why I left it..."

"Really?"

"Ho, it's true! Even while Zazz-Sung was laughing like crazy, he was just blurry watching it at his usual rate.... he probably doesn't have the power to think with his own head anymore..."

So I'm also a little frustrated that it wasn't the person in the main house who drove the people in the branch that far.

Besides, I haven't had a chance to ask Tay about Ai-Fa yet.

Was it he who saved Ai-Fa on the night of the Conference of Parents?

Yet - has he again come to fruition in being harmful to the woods?

I repeat my words even more as I embrace one complicated mood.

"Then how did Zazz-Sung get away from the Gene family? Only Zazz-Sung and Zulo-Sung should have been treated as sinners, so they should have had about the best time to sleep, right?

"Well, I don't know about that...... The, Zazz-Sung had his face and clothes back and he was bright red with blood, and he had a knife. One or two men. Then there's no way to get to Zazz-Sung..."

A skinny man like a skeleton, stuck in a burning settlement, covered in the return blood of the people by the woods.

It's a diagram that makes your spine cold just imagining it.

Digga and others are turning bright blue with their back teeth beeping.

"Oh, we, too, were tied up in arms and tied to pillars during the night. But the house was also set on fire, so the Dom women untied the leatherstrings. So I rushed out and Zazz-Sung showed up..."

"... I was told to choose whether to decay on this occasion or run away with it, and I was stabbed with a knife. The firehand was up from all over the settlement, so all the men cared about you, but I think maybe some of the women are looking at Zazz-Sung..."

Dodd still seemed more calm than Digga.

I take a heavy sigh and then turn back to Ai-Fa.

"... well, I guess you're basically not lying or anything. If they were going to attack us, that's what would bring Tay."

In round-hipped digas and dodds, you can't even fathom one eye-fa. But what happens if that tay comes with a knife - a development I don't want to imagine.

Most importantly, I was more thorough and calm myself.

He even said it would be convenient if Zazz-Sung and the others were to follow the Diggers to the scene.

Confidence, I guess.

Still, I didn't want to see Ai-Fa slaughter and lay low on humans - I couldn't get rid of the thought.

Without knowing my mood like that, Ai-Fa can see the Diggas again.

"So, what are you guys going to do? As far as we're concerned, there's no other way to turn you over to the Dom family."

"Well, that's fine! But can you tell the Dom guys that we're not the ones who lit Dom's settlement, and that we didn't have to be threatened by Zazz-Sung to just get out of there...?

"You can't possibly tell me that, though. If the Dom women hadn't listened to your conversation, they wouldn't even know what was going on."

"No! Then we'll be killed by Dom's people!

Ai-Fa put a cheek wand on the knee of the one who stood up, sighing full of strength.

"Aren't you guys proud? What side can you lower and spit such a cry at us who used to curse the wicked? If I were in your shoes, I'd be in the mood to skin my own head."

"Mm, are you mad about the old days? If that's the case, I apologize as much as I can! I was just stuck with your charm! Even before this, I meant to welcome you to my wife! I didn't mean to do you any harm!

"Hmm? Didn't you say if you didn't respond to the dowry, you would poke it out of the valley, etc.?

"Well, there's no way you can kill your countrymen's lives, is there? That's just a threatening complaint! Please! Trust me!

That said, Diga rubbed her forehead against the floor cloth.

Ai-Fa turns her head again, then points her eyes a lot more at Dodd.

"So what about you, my former second brother? Did you put a knife on this Asta or Lew man?

"Oh... I can't..."

"What do you mean, no?

"Sa, drinking makes me feel bigger... I can't leave the one I don't care about... I can't stand it..."

After all, it is a gloomy voice.

He looks like a skinny wild dog.

Those eyes look at us like they're creeping from between dripping hair.

"You may not believe me if I say this now... I'm not going to hurt you guys with drunken momentum and I'm sincerely relieved... I'm not strong enough to kill someone else and look fine..."

The words caught my heart strongly.

Maybe this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for me.

in the sense of identifying the essence of these elusive men.

"Digga, can you look up too?

Digga looks up cursorily.

It is a flat, flat face.

You look like a child in a bad way even though you have a big figure there.

And Dodd, too, is shriveling like a wild dog or an old dog.

This one originally had a small physique, and if you lose its ferocity, it's so weak that you don't think it's a forest folk.

It is important that Zazz-Sung escape.

Only Zazz-Sung and Zulo-Sung intended to redeem their sins with that body, and also because they had already notified Castle Genos to that effect.

If we cannot capture Zazz-Sung within this night, the face of the people by the woods against the castle of Genos will be rounded.

That's why I don't think Dom or Gene's parents will allow this Digga or Dodd. Donda-Lou and Graf-Zaza, too, that's obvious.

Then, all the more so, we were supposed to have to figure out the nature of these too stupid men.

"Digga, you said earlier that there's no way you can kill your fellow Forestside countrymen, but then what if the people in town are their opponents?

"People in town?

Like a dumb taurus, Diga tilts her thick neck.

"Hey, why are you suddenly talking about town? I don't know what that means..."

"No, aren't people in town like enemies to the people by the woods? I was wondering if they could hurt you so much without breaking your heart."

I told him that in a tone that sounded as light as possible.

Ai-Fa narrowed her eyes a lot, but thankfully she has kept her silence.

"Oh, aren't you doing good with people in town?... I mean, you were originally a person in town too...?

"The town is a town, but it wasn't born in Genos. To be honest, I don't like the fact that the Genos are looking down on the people by the woods. Most people in the south and east buy my food."

"Oh, you know what... oh, I don't know. I don't really go down to town..."

"Huh? Why?

"Because... those guys, aren't they crazy...?

I forgot to stick to the play and say, "Huh?" I shouted out loud.

You're frightened by the size of that voice, Digga blushes your shoulders with fright.

"Oh, they're just people by the woods, and they're gonna look at us like shit, right? If you want to walk alone by accident, you don't know what you're going to do because you're dragged into the shadows... so I haven't been in town in years..."

It is a testimony of the uttermost.

I turn my gaze back to Dodd as I calm down.

"What about you, then? When we first met in Inn Town, you were trying to point a knife at a man in town, weren't you?

"... people in town, I hate them. I think they're all enemies of the people by the woods."

"Hmm. Is that why you were trying to figure out women, attacking travellers, robbing crops?

"Huh?", Dodd rounded those little eyes.

Speaking of which, although he looks like a dog and looks a lot harsher, Diga's brother should be old enough to be much the same as me. By rounding his eyes properly like that, he finally looked like an age-appropriate face.

"I'm not interested in the woman in town. And how do you steal crops? If you did that, the guards would catch you, wouldn't they?

"No, so it's from a countryside or something that's not protected by guards."

"I don't know where that is.... Besides, we were filling our bellies with forest grace, so there's no reason to bother taking food away from us in town"

"Hmm? But there seems to be a settled story in town that the people by the woods were repeating such evil deeds."

"Then that would be a long time ago. Before the Sung family reaped the blessings of the woods, we were just young children."

"Oh, we were eating Aria and Poitan back then, too."

and so on, and Digga hammered in a swallowing manner.

Right - and I'll think about it.

Surely Dora's father didn't tell her about the "when" era either.

And yet, if it was more than a decade ago, it wasn't even that long ago. If the people by the woods had taken their crops in those days, it wouldn't be strange if rumors were being told. Even Dora's father may have suffered damage when he was younger.

Besides, it's not like we're thinking about it here.

Ask Dora's father, and he will squeeze it at what time.

"... are you exploring who might have committed that kind of sin?

And, Dodd turns a dark eye.

"Then it's Zazz-Sung. My father Zullo was more scared than anything that his relationship with Genos would be twisted, and me and Diga hated the town. Trying to imitate that to people in town is like Zazz-Sung."

"Hmm. Are you going to impersonate all your sins as your predecessor's parents"

When Ai-Fa said in a cold voice, Dodd stifled his face with sadness, and Diga nodded powerlessly.

"... the greatest sin we have committed has already been uncovered by you. It's just that we don't have a reason to hide or take food from the women in town. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not.... because the lord of Genos is not prepared to judge the people of the woods."

That's wrong. I told Gazran-Rutim a few hours ago that I shouldn't take those sins for granted.

But the Dodds don't know that fact.

I don't know, so it wouldn't be worth running that far to keep me safe.

So - maybe all those words are true.

"Look, more than that, let the Dom guys..."

And when Diga tried to give her a pitiful voice.

The doorboard was slammed roughly from the outside.

Diga and Dodd stop moving as if even the magic of petrification had been applied, and Ai-Fa catches the sword of the flesh.

"Parents of Fa, if you're alive, wake up! We're from the Dom family!

To the sound of that cracked anger, I am relieved, and I breathe small, too, Ai-Fa.

but Diga and Dodd turned out more like dead people.

"The Sung men set fire to Dom's settlement and fled! You're alive, Fa's parents!

"This one's safe! Open the door now!

With a voice like a leather whip that does, Ai-Fa responds.

Digga and Dodd looked up at Eye-Fa, who stood up in that way, with a cloudy eye for despair.

Ai-Fa is resolute in his footsteps and heads to the front door.

"I thank you for communicating the emergency at such a late hour. You mean the Sung family men got away, but who the hell and who got away?

When Ai-Fa asked the doorboard, the voice on the other side also regained some calm.

"Have you been safe? This also saved a little Dom family honor.... escaped were three who were kept at the Dom family and four of the previous parents who had been captured at the Gene family. The Gene family man, who was keeping an eye on his previous parents, was eaten down his throat and taken a knife. That's how the original parents who escaped the Gene family set fire to Dom's settlement and let these three escape!

"... Hmm. I don't think you lied about it."

Whispering and twitching, Ai-Fa arms up.

"Did I say something? Besides, I guess your family's safe, huh? If you're safe, rest. Fa's house is unprotected by Dom's men. Shame on the Dom family, rinse them with the blood of the Sung rebels!

Have those great men in Gibba's skull come in great numbers?

Diga shuddered again as if she had fallen on the dust, and Dodd drooped his head deep as if he had given up everything.

After a subtle glance at you, Ai-Fa raises her voice again.

"I appreciate the sentiment, but we need to talk about this one before we do. The first and second brothers of the Sung family were already captured by my hand."

"What!?," the anger explodes again, and the doorboard is shaken rough.

Digga groaned, "Ahhh..." and stumbled onto the spot.

"Is that true!? Are those traitors there?!? Then open up here, Fa's parents!

"Open it immediately. So don't break the doorboard for me, Dom's men.... I just want you to hear it before then. These guys don't always seem to have come to take our lives. Though he escaped Dom's settlement, he became terrified and fled again under Zazz-Sung."

"Don't be ridiculous! Anyway, open up here! Hand them over!

"Of course, turn it over. However, instead of snapping your neck on the spot, could you properly deliberate with the chiefs and Dom's parents? They insist that the previous parents threatened them with a knife and forced them to flee. And then again, if he came back to himself, then only a few should be able to reduce his sins, too?

"They tarnished Dom's pride and trampled his trust! There's no other way than to snap your neck off! Just open this door right now!

"Then I can't open it. If that's Dom's general thrust, call the Trinity chiefs. I'll open it if I can get a convincing word from you."

Ai-Fa turned her face away a lot and turned back towards us.

Digga and Dodd are at some point only twisting their necks and looking at the eye-fa better.

I could only see the back of their heads when I stayed in my seat. Turning this way in an arm-wrapped position, Ai-Fa became an evil shape as she saw it, and turned away.

"What are those eyes! With those eyes, don't look at me!
