Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

123: Spirit Forest

When I caught the abominable thief monkey, I suddenly thought that a crack had run into the space, and a white snake appeared from the mysterious space behind it.

(What...? What's next for a monkey? A snake?

If you wonder which zoo it is, you will see more amazing sights next.

"That's why I said good. Grandpa told you to greet him nicely.

I almost doubted my ears, but the snake definitely spoke. And against monkeys. And further,

"I mean, it seemed interesting from him ~"

... I even talked to the monkey.

I didn't know which goga country this was, but it was a different world and there were beasts. Though I had assumed that there would be situations like this, I lost the word when I first saw it.

"I apologize for the disrespect this idiot has shown."

Pecory and snake move their heads down.

"Bye, idiot....."

When a monkey twitches his face,

"Come on, apologize to me too."

Eh ~

"... I can tell Grandpa.

"I'm sorry for your disrespectful behavior this time."

The monkey stretched her spine beautifully and apologized to her boss like a salesman.

Are you more afraid of your grandfather?

"That's what this idiot says. I wonder, can you put a spear in here?

It was unconsciously pulled in a long time ago. Now I'm full of grasp of this mysterious situation.

"... after all, you... no, were you spirits?"

As soon as the snake opened its eyes slightly impressive, it narrowed it down and stared at it.

Hee, that's just what Ninniaho-sama admitted.

"... what?

Words leaked naturally. Because I heard words that I couldn't abandon now.

Ninniahu - that was the name of the queen of fairies.

When I stepped into the Beast world before, I found fairies playing on the hill in the middle of the night.

At that time, they noticed our existence, but I decided to go to the fairy garden, which is the residence of the fairy, where I met Ninniahu for a while and talked about having no other love.

"I'd like to ask you a favor, if you don't mind.

"... refuse"

"No, why not!

When the monkey naturally refused, a voice of doubt struck the color.

"You're going to take me to a weird world like fairies anyway, but I've got business to attend to, and above all, you're upset I let you come to this place? Give me back my glasses, you thief monkey."

There is no choice but to use the letters "REDUCE" to return to the earth.

"Kiki!?

A monkey in a hurry on a swaying scaffold, it creates a gap in the jail, from which it jumps to the earth.

And the sun color goes in front of the monkey. Give me your glasses. Monkeys tend to give it to me with their mouths sharpened--Pocahontas!

"Ki!? What are you doing!?

The sun color dropped his fist on his tiny head as soon as he received his glasses.

"Spirit abuse to reach out to such a childish spirit!"

Keep your head away from the sun while holding it down with both hands.

"Shut up. You're the reason why I can't bake Fluffy Bake, and I'm in trouble... and thank you for that. I'm about to bake it."

A monkey whose face turned pale at the words. But the snake that was staring at them flatly sighed out loudly.

"Is that enough?

I also looked at the snake with a sick look.

"Can you do me a favor and punish that idiot?

"That's why I said no. I don't know, you snake bastard."

"Oh, you don't have one, do you? Even if I look like this, I'm a woman.

"Well, do spirits have a gender? You learned in a book that there is no mating and that there are no offspring left behind?

"Oh, that's a little wrong. Even spirits have a gender. Well, only high spirits can have the most gender. And if you want to keep your offspring, you can."

I was honestly surprised at the fact that I could leave my descendants behind. I didn't think everything that was written in the book was correct, but if the information from the person in question was correct.

Besides, as far as I can tell, this snake is a high-ranking one. I don't know about monkeys.

"Oh, by the way, I'm a man!

I didn't ask, but apparently so.

But I didn't expect two high-ranking spirits to appear here... it's going to be troublesome again.

"Well, I don't care about your gender. Hey, white snake, what did I say? It's dinner time. If you want to get in the way, are you both in jail for a while?

He raises his index fingers with both hands and tells them to threaten him, but the snake doesn't break any of his expression. The monkey took a step back on guard.

"Oh, are you hungry? Then it would be just fine. I was ready to welcome you."

"... welcome?

"Yes, as you can imagine, I want you to come to our place."

"... again?"

The space is still open, so it's probably just like when you're a fairy.

"I don't know if I'm satisfied, but I have prepared the spirit hospitality for you.

"... hospitality?

The words touched the harp.

"Yes, there are some foods that only exist there... how about that?

She smiles and asks her to try it. It was difficult to behave as she wished, but I was concerned about the hospitality cooking of spirits. I'd rather eat than eat.

However, I can follow you like this, but I am also concerned that Nicki and the others are looking for you right now. It is also likely to be troublesome if it disappears here.

I don't know how many people are out there, but what if Nicki told Yveam that the sun was gone...

"... you can go."

"Really? Then soon...."

"However, there are conditions."

"... what is it?

"There are about two of them. Admit their company. Then I'll follow you."

…………

Keep an eye on each other for a while. But it won't break from here. Did you realize that, when the snake sighed again,

"... that's fine. Bring him in."

Then I used Character Magic to find Nicki and bring him here. The two were sparkling their eyes with an interesting look at the talking animals.

"Okay, let's go. But don't do anything weird... well, you guys seem to be fine."

That said, he went into the space where the darkness was spreading.

"Then go."

A monkey pushes his back from behind.

The color of the sun had passed through the same space before, so there was not much anxiety, but Nicki and Camus were about to move forward slightly while clearly freaking out.

But it was only a moment of darkness when I dived. Three people inadvertently admire the sight spreading in front of them.

--It was a fantastic world.

Particles shining like gems dance like snow. There is a large rainbow in the sky, emitting a presence that makes you remember even the illusion that you can walk on it.

The surroundings are surrounded by forests, and the leaves that grow in the trees also look beautiful like snow crystals. It was natural for the three of us to be moved by the loss of words.

"Welcome, this is where we live - [Spirit Forest]."

As the snake took the lead through the forest, he discovered a beautiful waterfront.

And in the center of the waterfront is an altar-like building, on which you can see a large white mass.

(What is that...?

I stared with my eyes closed, but I couldn't tell anything from here.

Follow me.

As the snake says so, it crawls over the altar, where things like lotus leaves floating by the water are connected.

"And won't it sink?

I understand that Nicki is worried. It seems okay because it is a lightweight snake, but I didn't think it could support people.

The monkey behind that thought,

"Don't worry. It won't sink."

However, the sun color strikes the stone bridge and gently pushes the leaves downwards. It certainly did not sink. The ripple spreads over the water, but it feels like a little soft soil.

Still the three advance in fearful steps, and reach the altar. Then, the identity of the white lump was clearly visible.

"Ho-ho-ho-ho, I've been waiting for you, Almighty."

It was a huge white snake. It seemed to be wrapped around its big, long body, and from a distance it could only be seen as a lump.

"Fluffy ~ It's big ~"

"... big"

Nicki and Camus are both voicing their thoughts. It's really big. If you open your mouth, it will be huge enough for all three of you.

"How did you get here? Are they with the Almighty?

"Yes, yes, Grandpa."

Ho ho ho, I see.

He gladly raised his mouth and laughed, but the snake only seemed to find its prey and smile. Nicki is pretty scared, isn't he?

"Hey."

You can't help standing like this forever.

"Let me have some hospitality and cooking."

I just made our request. The behavior of the snake and monkey is also solidified with their mouths wide open. But only giant snakes laugh joyfully.

"Ho ho ho, don't rush me like that. I'll make sure it's ready. Look over there."

Turning to the indicated location, it was on the left side of the forest exit, with a large table. Moreover, there are certainly many foodstuffs on it.

Then all of a sudden, the white snake's body began to shine without a pulse. The amount of light is unexpectedly enough to grind your face, but it will soon subside. But as the light diminishes, it takes the form of a certain person.

When the light completely disappeared, the giant snake that had been on the altar earlier disappeared, and instead an old man with gray hair and a large amount of white beard stood there.

"Let's introduce ourselves first. His name is Hoozuki. Thank you in advance."

She smiled while brushing her long beard. Nicki and the others are puzzled by the current situation, but they move their eyes to observe the color of the sun.

"... so? Are you the Spirit King?

The opponent nodded slightly after receiving the Japanese word.

"Well, you're a lot older. It's obviously not the fairy queen."

"Ho-ho-ho-ho, I'm still whipping the old man. And now the Fairy Queen is as young as the jade here."

"... jade?

It's about me.

It was about the little white snake that led us all this way.

But I didn't know Ninniahu and this beard were the same age...

So I don't think so, but I felt Ninniahu had more transcripts.

This one only looks like a small animal with a dick. And the tone seemed cheerful.

"... isn't there something you want to say?

"... I don't know."

I wonder if it's only in animal form that I have a sharp conjecture...

I glanced at it with a jito's eyes, but it was relaxed.

"Let me eat more than introduce myself. You don't mind if I talk to you later?

Ho ho ho, let's go there.

When I went to the visible table from afar, I hadn't noticed it before, but there were colorful objects that looked like slime everywhere.

"What's next?

"Only spirits are here."

Jime taught me.

"Are they... spirits?

In any case, it only looked like a slime. Should I say hand-held slime? It is not surprising to see it in a crane game prize, but there is a vivid variation of colors, which is irritating.

"These children are a mass of naturally occurring power, and if you just said so, they are" hyoko spirits. "

"This is a jade, can't you say something like that to your friends?"

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I'm familiar with the fact that monkeys feel funny when they're angry and look bad. But the jade glittered at the moment.

"What, are you selling fights? I'll kill you.

"Eh... ah... that's right... nothing... yes..."

How weak are you, monkey... It was as if an affair had been discovered and a monkey had solidified without a word.

"Well, let's do that for both of us. It's in front of our guests, isn't it?

"... okay."

Jaime said this, distracting himself from the monkey and expressing a sense of relief that the shackles have been untied.

"And then... Ten?

"Heh? What?

Apparently, Ten is the monkey's name.

"I saw it on the altar, but I'll get punished later for being rude to my guests."

"Huh, huh, huh!?

It was a contrasting diagram of a hoozuki laughing happily and a tent shaking pale and shivering as if it was being frustrated by despair. Even an old man looks like a king. I feel the pressure to smile but not say whether or not. Ten is still incontinent... no, he's going to faint.

Jade stares at it with real joy.

I thought we were friends because I came to help Ten, but isn't that right?

(No, I don't think you're as friendly as a fight....)

Then when everyone got to the table, Hoozuki started talking quietly.

"Thank you for coming here this time. Let me thank you on behalf of the Spirit."

"Grandpa."

"Hmm? What's the matter, Jaime?

"I didn't hear... him"

Huh?

In front of both eyes, it was as if they were not interested in talking, and the color of the sun was nailed to the food in front of them.

"Hey, can I eat already?

Ho-ho-ho-ho, let's eat first.

As soon as I get permission, I can look around at the many dishes that are placed on leafy plates.

"Ooh, that smells good!"

"... it looks delicious"

Both Nicki and Camus are looking at where to eat from while salivating from their mouths. It's the same color in the day, first look at one plate.

There was boned meat that emitted rainbow light in the form of manga meat, as the saying goes. Surprisingly, the gravy dropped as if it was melting out. Moreover, the gravy is shining rainbow-colored.

"That's the Rainbow Meat." But let me tell you, it's in the dessert category, so be careful. "

This is the dessert? I've never heard of meat entering dessert before.

When asked, this "rainbow meat" is called meat, but the taste has a fruity sweetness and acidity. What bones look like is actually like confectionery consolidated with "White Honey", not bones.

It certainly falls into the dessert category. But the first time I noticed the taste, I felt the urge to try it first.

I'll get Rainbow Meat too ~

"... me too"

I wonder if they were most worried about it or if they would get the same thing. Then he chewed at once.

It is certainly not a meat-like texture, but rather a castella-like bite.

I noticed it for the first time, but there was a sweet lump like a pie inside. The filling was rainbow-coloured, and it seemed that the filling had flowed out and covered around Castella.

"I'm sure it's sweet!

I thought it was too sweet a sweet treat with a flaky sweet filling on Castella, but it wasn't so dark sweet, but rather it was a sweetness that seemed to contain elegance.

Besides, I want a very hot tea. And on the table was placed a cup of water made of leaves, and there was a brown liquid therein. Moreover, the hot air rises from there, and the hand reaches out unexpectedly.

The smell is like tea. Take a sip and you'll slip into your throat at at exquisite temperatures that don't burn.

"... hah ~"

The trance sighs out of your mouth naturally. It tasted like tea, and it was a refreshing drink like lemon tea. It went perfectly with this Rainbow Meat.

"It won't hold!"

"Hamumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumumu"

Nicki and Camus seem to like it quite a bit and enjoy it while staining around their mouth.

I also tasted various other spiritual hospitality dishes.

A considerable amount should have been on the table, but it disappeared beautifully after about 30 minutes.

"Ah, that much... what's with these kids' stomachs..."

The chisel that seemed to settle calmly was also stunned by the sight in front of her.

"Especially if you eat too much glasses...."

Ten is stunned when he looks at his full-colored belly as if he were in heaven.

"Ho-ho-ho-ho, if you were satisfied, it would have been worth it."

You're just smiling happily, aren't you? Afterwards, when I got another cup of tea, Hoozuki opened his mouth and wondered if he could finally talk about it.

"Did you enjoy it?

"Oh, I'm happy with this."

When you honestly convey your feelings, Hoozuki nods back.

But then the color of the sun slightly narrowed,

"So? What the hell do you want from me?

I decided to get down to business.

I don't think it's simple enough to interpret farewell as just enjoying the hospitality. It is obvious that there is some intention. I thought I'd go home as soon as I heard.
