I heard Huang Hua's readiness and tried to go to the residence of the monsters with exasperation, but I had forgotten a lot about it.

"Thank you for waiting, Lady Nightingale."

Yellow Flowers ready to go out speaks to me as I waited outside.

"I'm sorry. I asked you here, and you kept me waiting all day."

Huang Hua says as he bows gently, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't particularly care.

As Huang Hua said, it's actually already been a day since he decided to go to the capital.

"Fine. Exactly. I can't help it all."

With that said, I move my eyes to the cause of that postponement.

"I was human then!!

"Long time no see!!

At the end of his gaze, the little foxes shake happy to see him again.

And I'm stroking them happily again, there was Xia Lian.

"Yeah, long time no see"

Surrounded by little foxes, Xia Lian looks just as happy as the little foxes.

You can't leave a little kid alone yet, though, can you, monster?

That is what caused the postponement.

I can't open this place for a long time because it could be gone, like Nana-no-bud, who walked out of here on his own and met me and Summer Lotus.

So until then, we'll need someone to take care of the little foxes.

So I asked Xia Lian and she agreed with me comfortably.

And to get to the earliest possible time to be finished in one day, so the departure became a little earlier the next day.

There was also a deadline in the letter, but fortunately it is still a little further, so there is no problem around it.

"Sorry, I suddenly asked you for it on my day off."

"Nothing good. Either that or I'm more interested, but I'll put up with it this time."

I'd appreciate it if you could say that.

When I asked for it, I was anxious to say that I wanted to go, but he read the air.

I was relieved to see Summer Lotus, which looked like fun, and one little fox opened his mouth as he jumped on Summer Lotus.

"Hey!! Aren't you gonna tell me it's like before again?

Does something like before mean the weird art that Xia Lian taught me when I or Huang Hua wasn't around?

That one once taught me to stop. Shifted to another play, but did you want to do it again?

The little fox asked me, and I thought I would normally say no, but Xia Lian didn't shake her neck sideways, and she has a troubling look on her face for some reason.

"Don't do it, okay?

"........ I know"

I wonder what it is between now and now.

Summer Lotus narrows her eyes a little dissatisfied when she stabs me with a nail.

"Today, play normally"

"Eh."

Hold on to your feelings, Xia Lian tells you to play normally even if the little fox is discouraged.

"Dear Summer Lotus, Regards to the children"

I'll take care of it.

Huang Hua carefully bows his head to Xia Lian, still surrounded by the little foxes.

To such a yellow flower, Xia Lian gave me a thumbs up and pushed my back.

"Huanghua, it's time to go"

I went away and finished it.

When Huang Hua replied yes to me, he bowed down and raised his voice to the little foxes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen carefully to what Xia Lian has to say."

To the call of the yellow flowers. The little foxes are well, "" "YES!!" "" and shout out.

Already cautioned, when Huang Hua comes near me, I place my hand on Huang Hua's shoulder.

"Well, good to see you, Master Xia Lian"

"You can just play normally."

"Persistent"

Again cautioned, Summer Lotus again dissatisfied, but still waving at me to drop me off.

Looking at Xia Lian and the little foxes like that, Huang Hua and I will transfer to the entrance into the capital with a transfer.

―――――――――――――

The first to jump into view after transferring was in the mountains where the trees flourished.

"Is this the place?

"Yes, this is the entrance to it"

The sea of trees makes me suspicious whether it's Japan or not.

Yellow Flowers turns in a different direction with a strange face to me looking around.

Turning the same way as the yellow flower, there was a large cave there as if someone had made it.

That's obvious inside.

I thought it wouldn't be weird for humans to come in, but when you look around, there's a lot of trees surrounding you here.

And from among those trees, I could see bills affixed.

Are you trying to keep it out of sight in the junction?

"As soon as we get in here, we'll get to the capital, but before that, Master Nightingale. Here you go."

Huang Hua took the fox face out of his nose and offered it to me.

"If you go, you'll find out normally, so put this on. It's not uncommon for a monster to look close to a human being, so that's not enough to tell."

Surely if you go normally, you'll find out.

Nodding at the description of the yellow flower, I looked around at the surface I had been given at various angles intriguingly, and then I honestly put on a face.

"Does it look good on you?

"It looks great on you. I don't care where you come from, you're not human."

Is that a compliment?

I'd like to believe you're flattering me, but I should have listened on a whim.

I have a little regret for the yellow flowers that I praise with a smile on my face.

"And, as much as possible, turn off the signs. Because Master Nightingale's spiritual powers are just amazing to see. It doesn't make sense to delude yourself."

Speaking of which, Vegetable Sprouts found out in an instant, too.

Follow Yellow Flower's advice honestly and erase the signs with [Signal Blocking].

"Now let's go to the capital."

The disguise and the signs have been blocked, and me and Huanghua are going into the cave.

The sound of walking echoes and echoes in the cave.

Inside the cave, my vision darkens as I take you to the back, but this is nothing in particular.

Continue to the back with Huanghua in silence, until you can see or not see the way ahead, what a disconnect the road was.

"That's a dead end."

"No, you don't"

Me squeaking at the wall in front of me.

But Huang Hua did not hesitate to put his walking hand in front of the wall - his hand went through the wall like it had been sucked in.

"We're going through here."

Yellow blossoms gradually enter the wall and disappear to show me an example.

I was a little surprised at how it looked, but I remembered the first time I came to the shrine of Huanghua after watching it.

Even the first time I went over there, it was like this.

I learned from Huang Hua, and I push myself into the wall with my hand against the wall too.

Okay, well, what are we waiting for?

I'm driven by strange curiosity by the unimaginable view ahead.

I have no sensory sense of being touching the wall, but when my whole body was through, there was a magnificent world there - - not that it was in the same cave as earlier.

For a moment, it's a space so similar that you don't know if you've walked through it, but Huang Hua talks to you about guessing me like that.

"Nightingale, this way."

I hear yellow flowers, and I was half confused, and I immediately go under yellow flowers.

Then the light plugs in from right in front of it and tells us the exit is nearby.

When I left the cave with Huang Hua, I raised my voice without thinking, "Oh."

"That one."

"That's it."

Me and Huanghua nod and look at that soaring in front of us.

Totally, it's a Japanese castle.

It looks so good that even amateurs can tell, such as tiles on white painted walls.

It's a little far in distance, but it releases so much presence that it doesn't make you feel it.

"The Black Princess is waiting for you in the Temple of Heaven over there"

Huang Hua explained to me, pointing to the top of the castle.

Is he there?

If you go with a metastasis, it's one shot, but this kind of thing says it's muscle to get in properly through the front door.

Besides, I've been looking at all the castles since just now, but when I look down, the small houses line up and spread around the castle.

I want to see what the town looks like too.

It's just the capital and it seems to be flourishing.

"Let's get this over with and get back to the Summer Lotus"

"Right."

I can't take much time.

Down the cliff, me and Huanghua first went for the castle town, which is in front of the castle.

―――――――――――――――

Known amongst men, monsters are traditionally determined to be horrible.

But maybe that's just an extension of the prejudices decided by the old man.

"...... wow"

Because I don't see one thing in my eyes, at least something horrible.

As I walked, I shrugged by accident.

You feel like you timeslipped around the Edo period.

We reach Castle Town and are blinded by different monsters.

I can't help it. If every person who passes by looks too deviant from a human being, everyone will follow him with their eyes.

If it's just the first monster or someone who looks like he's fused with the beast, he's still moving to things that aren't even creatures like Dharma or Umbrella and having conversations everywhere.

But there's nothing creepy about that sight or anything.

Rather, it was far from horrible, full of brilliance.

"It's so busy."

"Because it's like the last land of monsters, made of monsters scattered in the distance. The scale is immeasurable."

"Do we need to rally?

"It's not just a monster of one race, it's got limits."

Don't point your face at me, Huang Hua speaks out.

"The monster lives by feeding on various things by its species. Grass, nuts, flesh of beasts, souls. By monsters it is a thousand different things, sometimes without access to food and extinction. To make up for it, the Black Princess decided to live with the help of five other monsters."

So you're saying this is how we're all getting together.

Make up for what's missing, support each other and live.

You're kind of like a human being.

Listen to me, I thought vaguely.

"We're here."

Huanghua's leg stops, and I stop walking along with it.

While we were doing that, it seemed to have come all the way to the castle at some point.

When you come all the way here, you're different in power.

Looking up, I breathe.

"I'm here with the life of a black princess."

"Thank you very much."

"Please, come through"

In that gap, Huanghua was talking to a black-winged gatekeeper standing in front of the gate.

Lady Nightingale, let's go.

"Ah, ah."

Huang Hua prompted me to stop and I chase him on a small run.

"Speaking of which, what kind of monster is the Black Princess?

I asked Huang Hua about it, but it doesn't seem to be the answer.

Huang Hua was lost in words as to whether it had considerable characteristics or was too much.

"What can I say...... it's very, very big"

"What, giant?

I was told it was huge and I was reminiscent of a giant monster in my head, but thanks for the blunt response from Huang Hua.

My cheeks turned slightly red for some reason, and I only returned "you can see it".

The mystery only deepened to the appearance of the black princess that you would immediately know.
