Shinka no Mi

Shadow Village

……

……

Yamato stared at me while he was on the move after Mr. Moon Shadow.

Incidentally, since Yamato is carried on Moon Shadow's back, he is intentionally turning around.

……

……

……

"... you know, something...?

……

Akan, the type of conversation!

Well, according to Moon Shadow and Morijin-san, Yamato seems to be sealing his mind with strength, and even if he can't have a proper conversation, he can't help it.

And yet, why are you looking at me?

... hah!? No way, I stink!?

"Hey, Al. Am I smelly?

"What are you talking about suddenly?

"I'm a little unconfident about my body odor....."

I killed a superior monster with a body odor!

Then Al slightly approached me and shook his head even as he moved his nose.

"Don't you smell anything? Oh, I like the smell."

Heh?

"Yeah, Seiichi, that smells good!"

"Ah, that smells good...."

That's the first time you've said that.

But anyway, Al, I don't know about Salia...

When Anacongu was forced to marry me in the dungeon where Zola was, I thought there was something out of me that really attracted the gorillas.

In the meantime, considering the reason why I was seen, I could only think of the smell...

"... I wonder why they're watching so much. I'm going to look so much like a hole...."

"... I don't know why Seiichi suddenly cared about the smell, but for Mu, Seiichi, there must have been something that caught him."

"It gets caught....."

"I'm also surprised. To the best of my knowledge, Muu has never been interested in anything. I don't think that's ever happened since we sealed our hearts. But for some reason I was interested in Seiichi... I don't know, I must have felt something about Seiichi. Even though I sealed up my powers, my mystery has no shadow."

"I see...."

I wonder what it feels like for a man like me to be such a god. A little citizenship overflowing like this?

Then Salia opened her mouth with a smile.

"Seiichi, it's just fun to be with you! Yamato-sama's having fun, isn't she?

Huh?

"Yamato-sama's mind is sealed, but Seiichi's behavior is strange, and even that seal appears as an impulse that can't be contained."

"Wait, am I that crazy?

Yeah.

"Answer now!?"

And all of them!

What happens when you nod to Moonshadow, who wasn't in the conversation? It's not that long since we met, is it? Does that make you think I'm crazy? I'm aware of the noise!

Here, Mr. Common Sense and Mr. Ordinary. It's about time you came home. My body is always welcome.

"... here we are."

After all this nonsense, it seems we've reached our destination.

Turning to the direction prompted by Mr. Moon Shadow, there was an atmospheric city in the forest, such as a hideaway.

I hadn't noticed because I was traveling behind Mr. Moon Shadow without thinking about anything, but apparently he was on a special path.

Because, surrounded by forests, there was a cliff cut out there, and several houses were built in the form of protruding into the cliff, which would normally have been seen from a little distance.

However, the fact that they didn't notice the house until they got closer means that something special had been set up somewhere.

I don't know what the trick is, but it's fine. I don't see how I can use it.

Wow!

"Wow...."

"... nn. It's exotic."

"Yes, yes. The house you saw in King's Landing and Suzanne is different!

Saria and the others shouted with emotion at the scenery that was spreading before them.

As Zola says, the houses in this city are not stone buildings like the Kingdom of Wimbledon or any other country, but wooden ones. It feels really old-fashioned in Japan.

I am familiar with the appearance of the house, the long house, and the appearance of the house because I am Japanese somewhere.

I found smoke climbing all over the city and thriving.

Mr. Moonshadow tells me how touched he is by such a city.

"This is the home of the handicapped, the Shadow Village. Originally, Yamato would have been in the Sun Castle in Sakae, the center of the country, but it was already occupied by the enemy. And now that the other lords have fallen under their umbrellas, there is no place for Yamato to escape."

"It is the home of the Moon Shadow Hall, this' Shadow House '. Seiichi and the others may have felt it somehow, but if we don't use a special method to get here, we won't get there. That's why I don't think we need to worry about our enemies for a while. This town itself is also on Mu's side."

"I see...."

The hideout of the so-called ninja.

Looking around again, two men dressed like Japanese townspeople in the Sengoku period approached Moonshadow in a hurry.

"Yaya! You're safe!

"Oh, thank goodness. Yamato-sama is here too."

"Thank you for your patience. You can stay here for a while. I will give it to Aya, including the information we gathered."

"I can't stand it."

Apparently, these two men were also ninjas, and after a little word with Moonshadow, they disappeared to melt into the city. That's awesome.

As I watched the situation, Moonshadow turned around.

You've kept me waiting. The others are just as persistent as the handicapped... but everyone who lives in this village is. And the people in this village are one of the forces that support Yamato. You will be staying at the inn offered by this sato for a while. This way. "

Follow Mr. Moon Shadow's guidance and continue through the city.

"Welcome! Do you want some dumplings?

"This sword belongs to the master artisan..."

"Cheap, cheap, cheap! It's freshly caught fish today!

All the voices that rise everywhere are vibrant, and we can see that this village is flourishing.

But it is also surprising that it is not as prosperous as the central city. How prosperous is the center?

Rather, it was more like a hideout, and there was a more moist and quiet image, but such a scene would betray my imagination. Of course it means good.

"Right here."

Heh?

Moving with an interesting observation of the city, a huge structure jumped in, which might be called a castle in front of us.

However, the entrance has a warm curtain with the inscription "hot water" and you can see that it is not a castle.

In other words, the huge building in front of us is an inn.

As an image, it's very close to a god's bathhouse. I don't know what to do, they're going to take my name.

We crossed another red bridge that looked like this and headed to the inn where we were staying, and a woman in her kimono came out of the inn.

The woman bows her head politely when she comes before us.

"Welcome aboard. I've heard your story. Please relax inside. We will do our best to entertain you."

"Hah, hah..."

I gave such a careless reply, but I was in a hurry to realize something.

"That's right, money! What kind of money is spent in this place?

If you don't have the money to stay in such a expensive inn, it won't be a shame.

Of course, you don't have to worry about money in the Kingdom of Wimbledon or in the same continent, but given the great cultural differences and the establishment of this country, it is not strange that money has also been newly created with Yamato's power.

So in some cases, most of the money I have may be meaningless.

In response to my worries, Moonshadow and Guardian looked at each other.

"No matter what kind of money they say....."

"Don't you think it's the same as Seiichi and the others?

"Just like us...."

"That's it. When you defeat a monster, you don't have to pay, do you? I am using it as it is."

"Ah, thank goodness...."

I feel relieved by the words of the Guardian. Apparently, the money used in this country is like gold or silver.

But if you think about it, what happens when you get money from monsters?

If they say it's a system built in by God who created this world...

I didn't really care, but it's a mysterious monetary system that's made up of so many wonders. I don't even know if they make the same currency that monsters get for each country.

As far as the general public is concerned, there is no doubt that the money available is sufficient, but I am curious to think this way. Well, you don't have to worry about it right now, and the more you think about it, the better you don't think about it.

With that in mind, the innkeeper woman opened her mouth in a hurry.

"Ah, don't worry, I won't pay for it!

"Huh? Really?

"Of course! I'm not going to give you money to welcome Yamato. Of course, the same goes for those with you. When it comes to Yamato's escort, it is our duty to serve the Yamato family with kindness and hospitality... so please relax in this inn."

What a nice treatment.

Will you be entertained by the sea and by humans today? Is it fashionable?

"There's nothing to talk about here, so please come inside. Of course, we have a room at the top...."

As we followed the woman in the inn who said so, we entered the inn.
