Isekai Taneuma

Canaan Village

While being blown by the tidal wind, he looked across the swinging horizon.If there is a distortion in space, is it something that cannot be felt by consciousness about what lies ahead of that rounded place?Guillaume stood on the deck of a ship from New Amsterdam with such vague thoughts.

By the way, there was nothing wrong with my second cruise because I had been smoking cannabis from the beginning so as not to follow the same trail.Honestly, I don't think it's good for my body, and I feel like Feng (that) is poisoning me, so I don't want to do anything like this, but if I care about such things anymore, I can't do wizards, and his MP consumption has become so intense.

And Guillaume sighed as he laid on the railing of the deck, and brought forth the gravel of light many times.The sailors who mistook it for a street trick applauded it, but it was the light of failure.I'm not happy to be praised.

The windy voyage was also the third day, and the captain said he would arrive in Kara by the end of the day.This time, we will not enter Bohemia immediately from there and will go directly to Waltstein's fort.

Needless to say, he was headed for the village of Canaan.Just three days ago, the Wingman story was written in a book I read in Leonardo's building.Feeling uncomfortable there, he asked Scarsaha how many Wingmen there were in the New World.

She said she knew the Wingman existed, but had never met him before.I've heard it's a minority in the North, but I don't know exactly where they live, how many there are, and so on.

But that would be a little hard to think about.After all, she was a priest, lived for more than 300 years, and lived in the New World from the time she was pioneered.Well, my master lived here, and he went to and came to the Old World as he is now, but it is still the calculation that he lived in the New World for more than 200 years in total.

Besides, she is a special adviser to the Federal Assembly and is in a position like a senior government official in the New World.So I can say that I knew the Wingman existed, but it would have to be said that she has never actually met the real thing, which is strange to the boulder.

So when I started thinking about it, I found a lot of unnatural things.

For example, they say that they are the indigenous people of the New World, but there is no record of a clash with them when the brave traveled to the New World.As you know, in the history of the planet, there was a great war between the conquerors (Conquistador) and the indigenous people across the Americas, and it was the germs they brought in that brought to an end.

The conquistadors seem to have dominated South America for a few generations with advanced science and technology and overwhelming force, but in fact they have struggled considerably for the first 150 years or so.That said, the guns and ammunition they brought in could have been used by the indigenous people, who overwhelmingly prevailed in numbers.

Incidentally, when I heard of the Indians in North America, I had the image of the naked men across the horses swinging their axes and storming, but that was taken by the Westerners.Originally there were no horses in the Americas.

However, in this world, the brave leaders of the New World were able to colonize without resistance from anyone.Why? That's because no one lived before they crossed… If the Wingman were Aboriginal, why did they bother to live in the extreme cold of the north rather than in a temperate, habitable zone?

There may have been monsters in the New World, and they might have avoided it and lived in the North. A thousand years ago, before Sofia appeared, humans were driven to the North in the same way, so that's probably the case.But then, after people cross over to the New World and start building a safe city, why do they hold back in the North?

Eskimo could not escape the wave of the monetary economy, for various reasons, such as not being compatible with the people of the Old World, or to protect the teachings of Christ.It is strange to think that none of them will leave the village alone.If you are actually going down there, it is a contradiction that Scarsaha has never met.

Their appearance is also very suspicious.Could it be that human beings evolve so much in the first place, minus the fact that they look like angels?

The Guillaumes weren't surprised to see them, because there are beasts and demons in the world, but if you think about it, the Lucion-based beasts still have a lot of original animal traits.So, what was the animal that led to the Wingman?It feels like a bird because the wings are growing, but if anything, there are still a lot of human features left.

I don't think that's the same race as the Beast.However, the Demons would have been hostile to humans from the New World, and based on these things, it becomes doubtful whether the Wing people really exist.It would be a lie, at least, to have lived in the New World for more than 300 years.

No, they're lying.I assure you, where did they come from...?Angelic wings, priestly looks, and the New Testament.Guillaume was lost in the maze of thought as these ingredients wandered around in his head.

That's why he decided to go looking for it in person.Go to the village of Canaan and monitor the village from afar.I was reading Newton's book, and I thought I'd make it.After all, I'm a better type of person to act than to think with my head.Thinking is the work of minds like Feng and Leonardo.

I was worried whether I should let Feng know, but I stopped after all.If Leonardo and the others knew, they would follow you when something happened, and I didn't want to bother you right now.Feng seems to trust the priest, and even if the Wingman were dangerous, he wouldn't be able to do it easily.In the end, it is best to think too much or to end up worried.

That's why he left Leonardo and the others behind and boarded the ship from New Amsterdam.If it was true, it was faster to go by road, but I chose the sea route because I could not train in the modern magic (qualia) of the carriage.Thanks to this, I was able to train a lot during the voyage, but unfortunately nothing was gained during the three-day journey.

MP consumption did not increase or decrease, and as always, Qualia disappeared as a gravel of light.While the MP was recovering, I was creating a gun or remembering Leonardo's lecture, but as the old man said, there was no dramatic change in the brain that turned it on.Are you sure this is the right way to go...?There was some doubt, but there is nothing else I can do, so I have to believe it now.

After landing in Kara, I took a highway postal carriage to Alma.It's a day's drive by fast horse, but Fort Bohemia is halfway there, so we should get there sooner.

After asking the lord to drop me off on the way, I slept round on the cargo platform and was woken up by a gentle shake for a while.The sun had already set and the sky was completely dark as it chewed yawn out of the cargo bay.Since it was a battlefield somehow, there were no private houses around, and I was careful whether you were really here, but I definitely thanked you and got off the carriage.

I walked to Waltstein's fort in reliance on the moonlight.Since the fort was in the mountains, the surroundings were in complete darkness, and if the night eyes were not good, they would not have been able to move a step.But he walked carefully into the mountain without turning on the light.The reason was because I wanted to get closer to the inhabitants of Canaan village without being noticed, but I was a little worried about getting there before dawn.

In summer, the voice of the insect would have been annoying, but now it was quiet enough to have tinnitus.I can't really hear anything except the occasional wind and the evergreen leaves.It seemed to weird the sense of equilibrium, and he fell over and over again and fell into the buttocks.

Just six months ago, I walked around that big forest and wondered if my body was dull, but that's how much human spatial cognition depends on my ears.

As I climbed the slope of the mountain in such a state, the slope gradually slowed down.Apparently there is a village in Canaan that has reached the middle of the mountain.Before the villagers noticed, he carefully stepped toward the village as he stepped on the fallen leaves like new snow.

Eventually, I saw a beautiful and radiant step-field lit by the moonlight.Guillaume, who was at the forest exit, stopped going any further, climbed up to the nearby tree, and hung the luggage and the hammock for himself to ride, and then put out a camouflage sheet and stretched it over the tree, and covered the hammock.In this way, people should never worry about being noticed from afar.He sat down on his hammock and took his binoculars out of his luggage and looked at the village.

While building a base on a tree like that, the sky began to whiten at dawn.It is still a long night in winter, so is the time a little before seven o'clock?Young people in the city will still be asleep, but in this village full of old people, everyone will be awake for a long time.If the sun rises a little longer, the villagers will come out soon.Guillaume waited for it.

But... even if I was watching the village like that, there was no sign of anyone showing up.He thought it strange and put down his binoculars and looked at the whole village.

The village felt exactly like a cold village in the highlands, and there were few private houses, but as far as I could barely see, I could see a few houses.It seems to have been taken care of, and I can only imagine that someone lives there... why doesn't anyone come out?When he thought so, he noticed a certain discomfort.There is no smoke rising from any house.

No matter how cold the house is, we must live without a fireplace.Besides, you'll need to light a fire to cook.It's about time the sun rose and the cheer started pounding.And yet, it's strange that none of the houses is smoking.

No, there was only one house where smoke was rising.It's on a small hill in the middle of the village... a clinic in Canaan.Only the chimney there raised the smoke, making people feel the only sign.

"... this is crazy after all."

Guillaume murmured and peeked into the binoculars.I was looking for someone earlier, so I didn't properly observe the house.If you take a fresh look at it this way, the house is certainly taken care of, but for example, the way the weed grows in front of the common entrance, or there are signs that people have not lived for a while.This village has no one but Canaan's clinic.

What does that mean?I wonder if the villagers are going elsewhere because it is a peasant season.No, just because it's winter doesn't mean the farmers don't have a job, so I don't think they're leaving the fields.

Then why is there such a private house?Is it a camouflage to make it look like someone lives here?No, that's not right.If so, Popol would not have been aiming for this village, and the people of the nearby village would not have known about Canaan.

There was certainly this village when Waltstein was in the fort.The Federation Council has entered the mountains from Kara and sent supplies here through the surrounding villages.Definitely. Then why isn't anyone here right now...?

Strange... strange... but I don't know what to do when I know it.If the villagers weren't here, wouldn't it be pointless to come and explore this village...?No, I don't think so... Guillaume is here to find out about the Wingman.After all, there is Canaan.Though he seems to be the only one left, I think it stinks.....

With that in mind, I turned my binoculars towards the clinic.The door to the entrance, which remained closed, opened and someone came out of it.It feels like a break and comes to breathe outside air, and stretches toward the sun.Wearing a white coat, she's about mid-length and long for a woman.Yes, it was a woman who came out.

"... why is he here?

Guillaume was surprised at the woman.Because I was there because I was a woman named Astarte who worked as a doctor at the orphanage.Guillaume regretted what she had said to him and wanted to improve his magic.To get a little closer to Phoenix.....

No, it doesn't matter now.Rather, why is she in this village?She was originally working as Canaan's assistant at this clinic, so being here is not unnatural in itself.But she's supposed to be working in Phoenix as an orphanage staff now.

It's been a long time since Guillaume came back from Phoenix to Vinci Village.So I can't deny that she came back from Phoenix in the meantime.But at least there were no such signs before he left.Is it so easy for an orphanage medical staff to go home?I really don't know why she's here....

And at that time.

Guillaume and her gaze staggered as she peered into the binoculars in confusion.Feeling as if he had been shot through the heart in his gaze, he killed his breath in vain and swallowed Gokuri and Tsubaki.Astarte stares at him like that.

This is a wooden tree on the edge of the village and is carefully camouflaged to avoid being found.You can't hide smells or sounds, but at least humans can't notice them from a distance.Of course, he's got the sun on his back, and he doesn't even have binoculars that reflect the light.

That's why it's just a coincidence.It just so happens that she turned to me... Guillaume told herself that and took a deep breath to calm her early-belling heart.

After all, his anxiety seemed to be a bereavement.As she stared into Guillaume's eyes, she quickly slipped out of sight and returned to the clinic in a troublesome manner.The door is closed and I can't tell what's going on inside.I tried to wait for a while, but it didn't open again.

Guillaume sighed and lowered his binoculars.I felt that my tension was relieved and my strength was relieved.I wonder if it was pressed without noticing it. The lid of my eyes felt tingling and painful. When I touched it with my hands, I felt a slimy feeling and I noticed that I was sweating a lot on my forehead.

I guess I was scared of everything... Sure, I was thrilled when I thought she saw me, but it was just a coincidence.Soon after that, she went into the clinic.You can't be noticed.This place is in the woods a few hundred meters away.

But... is that true?

There was no basis, but I felt something in my gaze at that time.It was just an adventurer's instinct, but it was like when I met a nasty monster... it felt like I was a frog stared at by a snake.Does the preconceived notion that they are unidentified people make you think so?Well, I'm here to find out, so there's something I can't help it with.

Anyway, he tried to keep watching, he tried to peek into the binoculars again... and he dropped them immediately.

What's going to happen if we keep watching?He remembered what he had come here for.That's because I thought those wingmen would run out of time by exploring the village.Then you're out already.

The villagers who disappeared at some point seem to have a woman who shouldn't be here.Probably Canaan in that clinic, but no one in Akagu anymore.

Now, what should we do?Should we go check it out... given the circumstances, there is no longer any doubt that the Wingmen are scattered.They deceived themselves about their origins and actions and approached Feng.Perhaps he knew in advance that he would get the book in New Amsterdam or that he would be forced to press Sir Hermes...?Is that too much of a leap?But there was a lack of familiarity in them.

In any case, even with the evidence of the situation so far, it would be possible to make Feng feel alert.If Leonardo told me not to listen to Guillaume, he'd think twice.Continue down the mountain and write to the village of Vinci from a nearby city.And you hurry back to Phoenix.

But is that really okay?He was still lost.

As Guillaume guessed, it was confirmed that the wingmen were suspicious.But after all, I still don't know why they approached Feng.

Phoenix is the brave man in this world. He seems to be the same brave man who disappeared 300 years ago.Leonardo and Scarsaha realize that their memories have been altered.Recently, Feng went crazy because of the effects of demonization.If left like this, Feng will eventually become a demon king or be erased from their memories.....

In this situation, angels suddenly started wandering around the brave.Are you sure you want to leave without looking into it?

"... damn it"

Guillaume grabbed the suspended rucksack violently and sprayed the contents on the hammock.Then he refilled only the daily portable meal and just in case, and threw it around the root of the tree, which became lighter.

The rest of the luggage was left on the hammock and he got off the tree. After covering up the backpack he had dropped earlier, he lowered his posture and approached the village carefully so that no one could find it.

The village was unusually quiet and quiet, as if lost in the land of the yellow spring.
