Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (WN)

123: Spirit Forest

When I caught the abominable thief monkey because of it, when I suddenly thought a crack ran into the space, a white snake appeared from the mysterious space behind it.

(What...? What's next for the monkey, the snake?

If you're surprised at what zoo it is, you'll see the next more amazing sight.

"So I told you okay. I thought Grandpa told you to pick me up politely.

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

"'Cause it seemed interesting from him."

...... even talked to the monkey.

Unexpectedly, I thought this was the land of Miga, but this is a different world, and there are beasts. Though I assumed there would be situations like this, just at first glance, I lose my word.

"You there, I apologize because this fool seems to have worked disrespectfully."

Pecory and the snake move their heads down.

"If so, what a fool..."

As the monkeys are cramping their faces,

"Look, you apologize too."

"Eh."

"... can you tell Grandpa?

"I apologize for this disrespectful behavior."

The monkey has stretched his spine nicely and beautifully, apologizing like a salaried man apologizing to his boss.

Are you afraid of your grandfather?

"This idiot says the same thing. I don't know, could you give me a spear here?

I had unconsciously pulled in before such a thing. Now I'm full of hands to grasp this incredible situation.

"... you again... no, were you 'spirits'"

As soon as the snake opened his eyes slightly to impress him, he stared at it narrowly and jizzily observing.

"Well, that's just what Lady Niniaho said."

"... what?

Words leaked naturally. Because now I hear words that must not be overheard.

Niniaho - that was the name of the queen of 'Fairies'.

When I had previously stepped into the beast world, I discovered a fairy playing on a hill at midnight.

At that time, the presence of this one was also noticed, but from then on we were going to [Fairy Garden], the fairy's residence, where we met the garlic ho and talked about the lack of other love for a while.

"I'd like to ask for your disrespect, if you don't mind?

"... say no"

"Hey, why not!

A monkey naturally hits a voice of doubt at the color of the day he says no.

"You guys are going to take me to a weird world like the fairies anyway, but I have some errands to run, and most importantly, I'm upset that you're making me come to a place like this, right? Or just give me back my glasses, thief monkey."

There is no choice but to return to the earth a prison made of dirt using the letter 'reduction'.

"Kiki!?

A monkey representing a rush at the gras and rocking scaffolding, but with a gap in his cell, he jumps from there to his feet on the earth.

And the sun color goes in front of the monkey and hands out. I'm asking you to give me your glasses. Monkeys give it to me reluctantly with their mouths pointed, too - pokah!

"Ki!? Hey, what are you doing!?

The sun dropped its fist bones on its little head as soon as it received its glasses.

"I can't believe I got my hands on such an infantile spirit, if it's spiritual abuse!"

Take a distance from the sun color while holding your head in pain with both hands.

"Shut up. You're going to ruin my Fuzzy Grill, and I'm going to get in trouble... and that's all I need to thank you for. It's supposed to be grilled."

A monkey who blues his face in that thing. But the serpent, who watched them flat, sighed heavily.

"Is that enough?

This one also gazes at the snake in a fed up manner.

"To that fool, I'll treat you exactly later, so would you do me a favor?

"That's why I'm telling you no. I don't know. You're a snake bastard."

"Oh, there's no bastard, is there? Even if I look like this, I'm a woman, right?

"Well, does the Spirit have a gender, too? I learned in the book that you don't mate, and you don't leave offspring behind?

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

I was honestly surprised by the fact that I could leave offspring behind. I didn't think everything written in the book was right, but I guess you're right if it's information from us.

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

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

I didn't ask, but apparently I did.

But I didn't expect two high-ranking spirits to show up here... it's going to be a hassle again.

"Well, I don't care about your gender. Hey, white snake, what did I just say? I'm about to have dinner time. If you want to interrupt that, are you both in jail for a while?

I tell him to put up his index fingers on both hands and threaten them, but the snake doesn't break a single expression. Although the monkey had taken a step back on guard.

"Oh, are you hungry? Then you'll be just fine. I was ready to welcome you here."

"... welcome?

"Yeah, as you can guess, I want you to come to our place."

"... still?"

The space is still open, so you'll probably dive into the alley just like you did when you were a fairy.

"I don't know if I can be satisfied, but I'm getting you some spiritual hospitality for once, okay?

"............... Hospitality?

The words touched the harp line.

"Yeah, there's something called food that only exists over there... how about that?

He smiles with inclusiveness and asks me to try. Acting as she pleases is difficult, but I was concerned about the spiritual hospitality dish. I'd rather try it than eat it.

But I can keep following you, but I'm also concerned that the Nikki's are searching around by now. If it disappears here, it's also likely to be a hassle.

I don't know how much they are over there, but what would happen if Nikki and the others told Yveam that the sun color was gone...

"... you can go"

"Really? Then soon..."

"subject to conditions"

"... what is it?

"I have about two people with me. Admit their company. Then I'll follow you."

…………

gaze at each other. That state lasts for a while. But it won't break from here. Did you realize that thought, when the snake sighed loudly again,

"... Fine. Bring him in."

Then I led him here looking for Nikki and the others in Lettermagic. The two had their eyes gleaming with intrigue at the talking animal.

"So we're going, huh? But don't be weird... well, you guys don't seem to have a problem."

With that said, he went straight into the space where the darkness was spreading.

"Then go."

A monkey pushes his back from behind.

I wasn't so anxious because the sun color had been through the same space before, but Nicki and Camus are about to move forward a little bit, obviously freaking out.

But it was darkness only for a moment when I dived. The three of them accidentally admire the sight that is spreading in front of them.

- It was a fantastic world there.

A particle shining like a gem is dancing like snow. There's a big rainbow in the sky, releasing enough presence to make you even remember the illusion of being able to walk on it.

The surroundings are surrounded by woods, and the leaves that grow in the trees are also beautifully shaped like snow crystals. Even if the three of them lost their words and remembered their emotions, that was natural.

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

As he went straight through the woods at the head of the snake, he now discovered the beautiful waterfront.

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

(What are you...?

I stare at you staring, but from here I can't tell what it is.

Follow me.

That's what the snake says, crawling over a lotus leaf-like thing floating on the water's edge coupled to the altar.

"And won't you sink?

I also know Nicki says that worryingly. It looks fine because it's a lightweight snake, but I didn't think I could support people.

The monkey behind that realization of thought,

"Don't worry. He said it would never sink."

But the sun tries to gently push the leaves downwards with his hands so as to tap the stone bridge and cross. I certainly didn't sink. The ripples spread because it's on the water, but it feels a little like it's on the soft soil.

The three nevertheless proceed with their fearful steps and arrive at the altar. Then the identity of the white mass earlier could be clearly identified.

"Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

The guy was a super giant white snake. It seemed to be wrapped around it with its large, long body, and from a distance it only seemed like a lump.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

"... big"

Nicki and Camus each voice their thoughts. It's really big. If he opens his mouth, he is so gigantic that the three of them can be peppered together.

"Here we are. Are they from the Almighty?

"Yes, yes, Grandpa."

"Ho, ho, right"

I'm happy to raise my mouth angle and laugh, but it just looks like the snake is laughing damned when he finds his prey. Isn't Nikki frightened?

"Hey."

I can't help but stand like this forever.

"Hurry up and feed me the hospitality dishes and the dots"

I just stuck to this request. Snakes and monkeys just like that in their words and deeds are opening their mouths and solidifying. But only giant snakes laugh with pleasure.

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

Turning to the indicated place, it was to the left of the forest exit and a large table was available. Moreover, a number of food-like things do exist on top of it.

Then suddenly the white snake's body began to glow without any context. It is light enough to flatter your face unintentionally, but it fits right in. But the light is brought to a lesser extent, and it forms the form of a certain man.

When the light completely disappeared, the giant serpent, who had been on the altar until earlier, had disappeared, and instead an old man with gray hair and a large number of white beards was standing on the spot.

"Shall I introduce myself first? Non's name is Hoozuki. I'll be glad to see you later."

He grins as he rubs his long mustache and cushions his face. Nikki and the others are puzzled by the current situation and their eyes are patchy, but the sun color asks by moving their eyes to observe jiggly.

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

The opponent nods slightly in response to the sun-colored words.

"Well, you're a lot older. You don't look like a fairy queen."

"Ho ho ho, I'm still whipping my old body to do this. Besides, the fairy queen is still young, just like the shark here."

"... Hime?

"About me."

It was about the little white snake that led me this far.

But I didn't know that Niniaho and this shark were the same young......

So I don't have anything else to think about, but I felt like I had more of a penetration of the garniaho one way or another.

This one just looks like a tiny little animal. And the tone seems busy.

"... not that you have something to say?

"... I don't know"

Is it still sharp to just look like an animal......

I glance at it with my eyes, but keep it sarcastic.

"More than that, let me eat rice than introduce myself. We can talk about this later, okay?

"Ho, ho, let's go."

Going all the way to a table I could see from afar, there were colorful objects everywhere that I had never noticed before but looked like slimes.

"What are you looking at?

"Only the Spirit is here."

Hime taught me,

"The spirits?

It just looked slimy, no matter what I looked like. Should I say hand-ride slime? It's not surprising to see them in crane game prizes and such, there are bright variations in color, and that's wacky.

"These children are a mass of power that nature has given birth to, and if you say so, you've just said 'Hyoko Spirit'."

"Hime, why don't you say something like that to your people"

"Yay, you're pissed off."

I'm wondering if the monkey found Hime funny with Hoozuki pissed off and his butt looking bad. But Hime glanced at me instantly,

"What? Are you selling fights? I'm gonna kill you, okay?

"Uh... ah... well... it's nothing yes..."

How weak are you, monkey... He was a monkey as if he were a diagram of his husband who was found cheating and couldn't say anything and was stiff.

"Well, that's about it for both of us. Isn't he in front of a guest?

"... ok"

When Hime says so, he shifts his gaze away from the monkey, a monkey expressing his expression of relief like the gold bondage was broken thanks to it.

"And then... Ten?

"To? What?

Apparently, Ten is the name of the monkey.

"I've seen it on the altar, but I'll have my guests punished for being rude."

"Nah, nah!?

It was a contrasting diagram between Hoozki, who laughed nicely for fun, and Ten, who was blue-blue and gut-trembling as if he was being annoyed by despair. I guess he still looks like an old man or a king. I feel the pressure to smile but not say yes or no. Ten and other incontinence now...... no, I'm going to faint.

Hime staring at that as Niyaniya with real pleasure.

I thought you were close because you came here to help Tenn, but you're not?

(No, well, don't even say we're close enough to fight...)

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

"I appreciate you coming to such a place this time. Let me thank you on behalf of the Spirit."

"Grandpa"

"Hmm? What's up, Hime?

"I didn't ask... him"

"Ho?"

At the end of their gaze, the sun color nailed the dish in front of them, as if they were not interested in the story or something.

"Hey, can I eat now?

"Ho, ho, ho, ho. Let's eat first."

As soon as permission is given, gaze over a number of dishes placed on plates made of leaves.

"Oh - it smells good!"

"... looks delicious"

Nicki and Camus are both looking to eat from which as they covet out of their mouths. That's the same color as the sun, drop your eyes on one plate first.

There was boned meat that emitted rainbow light shaped like the mundane cartoon meat. Surprisingly, the gravy is dripping off as if it were melting out. And the gravy is shining rainbow.

"It's Rainbow Meat." But I'll tell you what, it's in the dessert category for once, so be careful. "

This is dessert? It was my first ear that meat would go into dessert rather than.

If you ask me, this "rainbow meat" is called meat, but the taste is fruity sweet and sour. Where it looks like bone, it's actually like a treat solidified in White Honey, not bone.

Sure, that would fall into the dessert category. But for the first time, I was worried about the flavor, so I felt the urge to try it first.

"I'll have Rainbow Meat, too."

"... me too"

You two care the most, get the same thing. And chew Gabriel at the same time.

Then it's certainly not a meaty texture, it's somewhat of a castella-like bite.

That's where I first noticed, but there was a sweet chunk of filling inside. The filling had a rainbow color and apparently the filling had flowed out and covered around Castella.

"This is definitely a treat!

I thought it was an overly sweet treat like a trolled sweet filling on a castella, but it's not that dark sweet, but rather sweet like it hosts elegance.

Besides, I want a really hot cup of tea. Then on the table was this water drink made of leaves again, and there was brown liquid in it. Besides, the hot air is rising from there, and I reach for it unexpectedly.

Smells like tea. Take a sip and you'll get softly into your throat at at an exquisite temperature that won't burn.

".................. haha"

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.

"I can't stop!"

"hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha"

Nicki and Camus seem to like each other quite a bit and are enjoying themselves while dirty around their mouths.

I tasted a variety of other spiritual hospitality dishes.

A good amount should have been on the table, but it disappeared beautifully in about thirty minutes of the stuff.

"Oh, all that... what's with these kids' stomachs..."

Hime, who seemed to settle calmly, was just as stunned by the sight in front of him.

"Especially the glasses guys. You eat too much..."

Ten is taken aback when he sees the swollen belly of the sun colour that is neat as if he were in heaven.

"Ho, ho, if you're satisfied, it's worth it."

Is Hoozki just great or is he just smiling happily? Afterwards, Hoozuki opens his mouth when he gets another cup of tea and thinks he can finally get on with the story.

"Did you indulge me?

"Oh, this would be satisfying"

When he honestly tells him how he feels, Hoozki nods back.

But then the sun color narrowed its eyes slightly.

"So? What the hell are you doing to me?

I just decided to get down to business.

I'm not thinking about it as simple as saying goodbye just because I indulged in the hospitality dish as it is. It is obvious that there is some intention. I just thought I'd listen and go home.
