Episode 164: The Kingdom of Japan

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is, to put it simply, a place where cultures like Japan can breathe. Even so, a long time ago, the city stretched like it was in the Edo period.

It is an island where long houses lined with tiled roofs and large castles also exist. All islanders have a population of about 800, but those born here seldom go out to the outside continent, singing songs about their lives on the island.

The calm city and relaxing time are said to be pleasant for the islanders.

Soji, who had left Crowtail's mansion and arrived in [Hinokuni] with Shiny, was the only castle to go first.

Surrounded by waterways, this large castle is built on high stone walls. The high exterior walls will help prevent intruders.

There are castle gates to the north and south, but Soji goes to the south, the front gate. There is a bridge, and the two gatekeepers keep the front door secure.

Of course, as Saudge approached, one of the gatekeepers, a man with dark hair, poked the spear in his hand and stopped his feet.

"What do you want with Hino Maru Castle?

The person wearing the tuxedo looks worthy of being treated as a suspicious person or a person with black hair standing upside down. There is nothing unpleasant about it. Suddenly someone dressed asymmetrically on this island will come closer and it will be natural to deal with this.

Shiny stuck to Soji's feet in fear. Soji stroked her head with the meaning that she was fine, then quietly turned her gaze on the walls.

Long time no see, Kazane-san

Someday someone stood on the walls and looked down at the Saudis. A girl wearing a tuxedo featuring twin tail black hair.

"Ah, it's been a while, Soji! I came to see you because I felt a sign of you, but it was worth it!

"Eh!? Wind noise!? Stand up in that place again! Get down, please!

The doorman caught sight of the wind in front of Sage's gaze and was in a hurry. It is clear from his words that the wind often hurts the doorman's stomach.

The sound of the wind rising from the stud and the walls to the present of Sawj takes Sawj's right arm with a smile.

"Come on, let's go, Soji! I have a lot to tell you!

She speaks like a man, but she seems to be 15 years old and has a feminine body, and feels her fluffy chest on her arms.

(Oh, oh... you've grown up, Mr. Wind Sound...)

She was only twelve years old when I met her before, and she was still like a child, but she grew up a lot in three years. Especially my chest....

"Wait a minute, wind noise! Who the hell is that?

The doorman pointing at Sage, whose wind sounds are intimate. And when the wind sounds come into sharp eyes,

"Rude! If you don't know this man, you are still samurai serving Hinomaru Castle!

"But I'm sorry!

The gallbladder is also quite strong, and the barometric gatekeeper immediately lowers his head.

"His name is Saudi Alcasa! You've heard of it! I am the butler who serves Yoyo, the daughter of Princess Natsuki!

"Ah, that Balmunk's direct apprentice!? Shishishishishishishishishi, sorry!

The gatekeeper hastily apologized for the rudeness to Sage. Apparently, Balmunk's name is quite powerful. I can see that my face is bluish.

"No, don't worry, it was a sudden visit. Thank you for your work."

"Ha! I'm so sorry!

"Come on, Sage! Let's go! Let's go!

The wind that pulled his arm into the castle noticed Shiny at the foot of Sausage.

"Hmm? Um... what's that little thing, Sage?

"Oh, it's my daughter."

"Eh......"

I feel the air freezing with a twitch. The wind's expression hardened and gradually became shady.

"... hey, Sawge... who are you dealing with? No way... Yoyo? No, you don't look like Yoyo... who's Sawyer?

"Er... ah, that wind? I'm scared of my eyes...."

Her eyes, which have lost their highlights, provoke fear. I don't know why she suddenly changes and asks about that, but I'll tell you about Shiny for now.

"Ah, you know, Mr. Wind, this is my child, but it's not drawing my blood.

"... eh?

A wind sound that brings light back to your eyes. And when I grabbed the breast hold,

"Well, how dare you, Saugh!

"Well, this is the kid I took over!

"In other words, you're not the one who hurt her stomach!

"No, I never hurt a man's stomach...."

"I don't care!

"Eh!?

"The important thing is, Soji hasn't done that yet... what... with nobody... yet?

"What? Are you kidding? What are you looking for?

When you suddenly think you've let go of your chest hold, the sound of wind staining your face.

"No, do what! Well, there's no way you can say that from my mouth, Soji's stupid! Come on, come on! Don't talk like that. Let's get out of here!

"Ah, yes! Shah, Shiny's coming, too.

"Uh-huh!

I think this situation is obviously due to wind noise, but if we finish talking, let's say it's okay. Soji and the others entered the castle with their hands pulled by the bright red wind.

It's been a long time, Sawyer.

In front of Soji are the castle lords - Shinsai and Hinomaru. He is one of the top players in this [Hino Country]. Why is Saudi being friendly with such a person?

It is nothing more than the connection between Yoyo's mother, Naomi. Her stepfather is this Qin Sai. Therefore, Saudi also met him this way several times.

It was three years ago.

"I was relieved to see that Qin Sai-sama hasn't changed."

"Hahaha, you're still active. My young son-in-law still can't handle it."

That's what they say, and the man sitting there laughs in horror. His name is Hogo Higashido. He is the husband of his eldest daughter, who draws the blood of Qin Sai. A person who will succeed Qin Sai in the future.

"How's Yoyo, by the way?

"Yes, he's alive and straight."

"Hmm, that's a good thing."

Create a smile by shaking your age sensitive face. I've lost my black hair and become gray, but my complexion is good, and I still feel like I can do it as a lord, as he said.

"What's going on today? It's always sudden, but there must be some reason for that kid or something that's not accompanied by Yoyo.

"That's Qin Sai-sama. This time, I am here to enhance myself."

"Hmm, you want to improve yourself?

"Yes, are you familiar with the current state of the world - the Ghost?

Sort of. Here's the information, too. "

"I saw the demon fight with my own eyes."

"... so?

"The brutality is such that I can easily be killed."

"Stupid! There's no way Soji can beat those guys!

The sound of the wind that had been sitting quietly stood up and shouted.

"Calm down, wind. Let's start with Sage."

"Ah... but I'm sorry."

Soji smiles bitterly when she looks down on the floor ashamed of attention to Qin Sai. She believes in the strength of the sorghum. It's a pleasure, and I feel sorry for betraying my expectations.

Sage, tell me what you saw.

Soji nodded a little, describing information that he knew, such as the demise of the [Ruvino Country], the battle for immobility, and the failure of the "Disarmament" investigation.
