Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

When you arrive at the white woman and go deeper into the forest, a tree appears in the vicinity that is completely different from the trees you saw near the boundary.

Large broad-leaved trees are flanked by fruits of various colors and shapes: red, yellow, and green.

There is a good aroma of fruit such as apples, rice cakes and spinach, and there is a good aroma that seems terribly delicious.

There's something else I can see. There was also a visual inhibition effect, and even though nothing was visible from outside the boundaries, you can see a large, almost vertical mountain standing in the middle of the island.

"Well, what's going on...?

"That's refreshing. I'm glad you're listening to me... for sure.

"... this way.

As you pass through the trees, guided by a white woman, you reach the foothills of a large mountain in the middle.

There is a vertical crack in the cliff wall, from which a stream of water flows out with Jobo Jobo, which creates a spring like Kiyoko.

A white woman stops in front of the fountain and looks back at us.

"Well, let's talk about it.

………

"You don't have to be so vigilant. I trust you to a certain extent when I put you in here. You can use your usual language.

"... thankful.

"Now, what shall I tell you... let's introduce ourselves first.

My name is Beltoniley. I am the one who protects everyone on this island.

Your names came from Hu and Ku.

Hu and Ku spin around the belt Nirai.

As Beltoniley lightly lifts her arms, she flies towards the forest.

"I said everyone here... but who else lives besides Hu and Ku?

"There are a lot of them. I'm hiding now.

"... what the hell is Hu and Ku? I've never seen such a creature.

"... those kids, Phoenix. It is a seed of the Holy Beast called the Ferrous Bird (I would like to).

"Holy Beast...?

Nil and the others are tilting their necks to words they have never heard.

"You don't doubt it... Shinya.

"I've heard of Phoenix..."

"That's impossible.

Beltnilai cuts my words apart.

"Spirits, Holy Beasts, Fairies. I completely erased that information hundreds of years ago. There shouldn't be any information or stuff in this world that leads to them.

"That's..."

"... do you mean that Watanabe is slightly different from other people?

"Huh?!

I didn't tell Hu and Ku that I was a stranger either. Of course, Beltoniley didn't hear about it either.

"You don't have to be wary. I was able to see the magic of others. The magic of Watanabe is special, so I know.

"... have you ever been on this island and seen the Watanabe?

"Even on this island, you can see the world.

Is it something sharp? Is that how much Beltoniley can afford...? There's no reason to lie. Probably really see it.

"... you said you were protecting everyone on this island, can you tell me more?

"... that's right. Let me tell you something.

That said, what Beltoniley said without expressing himself...

On this island, it seems that creatures slightly different from spirits, holy beasts, fairies, etc., were called the Holy Spirit by other species. The name comes from the fact that they are basically not old and never die of old age. It is called immortality, and it is similar to living as a soul. That's where it comes from.

It seems that the Holy Spirits use magic different from other species living on the continent. For convenience, let's call it holy soul magic. Unlike ordinary magic, it seems to be magic with special effects or powerful magic. The boundaries of the forest are also the sacred soul magic of Beltoniley.

It seems that this magic of the Holy Spirit can never be dealt with except by the Holy Spirit. On the contrary, the island gathered those who could use the magic of the Holy Spirit. This is the island of Charuna.

Why is the Holy Spirit gathered on this island isolated from the rest of the race? It protects it from all other creatures.

If you look at the examples of the Amazonians, you can see why we need to protect them... but what we've heard from Beltnilai...

It was a long time ago. It was when the spirits still lived on the continent.

It seems that the Holy Spirits do not like to fight, do not lie, and are all very pure. It remained unchanged from the time it was on the continent, and its innocent heart was a testament to the Holy Spirit.

However, in order to use the special power of the Holy Souls to fight, it seems that other races began to fight each other, and naturally there were many casualties among the Holy Souls.

Originally, spirits did not lie and were pure creatures, but their spirits were badly tainted by the merciless acts of other races.

Then, one day, it seems that one of the holy souls began to run wild.

Cut your own life, destroy everything, and destroy your existence.

Beltoniley, who saw it, was convinced that it would be detrimental to all the Holy Souls if he continued to associate with other species, and transferred all the Holy Souls to the island.

The whole island became completely invisible, and a seemingly nasty Devil tree was planted on the outer perimeter of the island, setting the boundaries. We're all set.

Incidentally, using appraisal magic on Devil Tree, I concluded that it was because Devil Tree was created by the magic of the Holy Spirit... Since the Holy Spirit Magic is a force different from ordinary magic, it was recognized as a subject that cannot be appraised by ordinary magic, appraisal magic. is the most comfortable way to think. I've only heard a lot of speculation... but I don't think Beltnilai knows why.

Beltoniley thought about pure sacred souls and originally instructed them not to appear in front of others, so it wasn't so difficult to erase all their traces.

Hundreds of years passed, and the rest of the race forgot about the Holy Spirit and became completely isolated and unrecognized.

"This is an outrageous species..."

"I really don't think it's the rest of us who tried to feed on such innocent, holy souls...

"... Nil's right. I don't think anything will change where we apologize... but I'm sorry.

When I lowered my head to Beltnilai, I felt that the faceless face was slightly broken.

"The apologies of the Sinja people will not change our lives... but I am delighted.

There are always people who eat a lot of battle and war. I wonder if it's the same in any world.

"I know about this island and the Holy Spirit that lives on it. So... from what I've heard, is Beltoniley the herald of the Holy Spirits?

"That's right. They live the longest of the Holy Spirit, and since they have no form, they will not be physically killed.

"No figure?

"This figure is just to make it easier for you to recognize.

"You mean you just made it right?

"Yes, I created it to suit your appearance.

When I first saw it, it only looked like light, but is that what it was?

"You said you lived a long time. How long have you lived?

"I don't know... it's been a long time since I've stopped counting.

"I see. It's long enough to stop counting.

I understand why Beltnilai said he didn't feel comfortable bringing us in. But then why did you invite us in?

We're other species, aren't we, Beltnilai?

"That's right. There are several reasons, but the biggest reason is because you know about Hu and Ku.

Tension runs between us in an instant.

That's like saying you can't let someone out who knows something you shouldn't know.

"I'm not going to let you out alive...?

"... what do you think? It's up to you.

When I learned about Hu and Ku, the possibility arose that they would tell us about our Holy Spirit. At the moment, I'm thinking of taking my life or keeping it in this Sharna.

…………

I don't feel like I can win a fight, but if I get killed, I'm not going to kill you in silence. But Beltoniley said it was up to us.

"Is it okay to say that things are different at this time?

"Yes, I already have a certain amount of credibility for you who have been liked by Hu and Ku. Otherwise, I won't invite you in here.

That is, if you can be sure that you are truly trustworthy, that is not the case.

"... okay. What am I supposed to do?

"I'm just going to show you guys. I'll decide if I can trust you.

"How long will it take you to make that decision?

"It's up to you, too.

I suppose you're asking me to stay on this island until Beltoniley decides that she can be trusted. I don't know how long it will take to be judged trustworthy. It may be tomorrow, and you may not trust me until I die. But now I can't think of any other choice but to follow.

"Okay.

"Now, stay inside the boundaries until you can make your decision. Don't worry about what you can eat or drink.

Then, according to Beltoniley's instructions, he stayed in a cave near the fountain, open on the side of the mountain. Here, the rain and wind are blowing, and there is no need to live.

"You don't have to talk about us?

"Let's do that tomorrow. I had something to do, too.

Bert is ahead of Beltoniley's gaze. I feel pretty sleepy.

"... I see. Let me do that.

"Yes."

Beltnilai goes somewhere. There's nothing to grasp.

"Master.

"... ahh. Let's get ready in the cave and go to bed today. Aloria and Burt go to bed first. We'll keep the fire on fire and watch.

"That's..."

"I can't think of any more waking up after seeing Burt like that.

Grabbing Aroria's hand, she is gently raising and lowering her head. It's clever.

"Ah... thank you.

Aloria, who listened honestly, prepares only the bed and puts Burt to bed.

Aloria was tired, too, and soon fell asleep.

"Master.

Nil made me some tea when I was all set up.

Sitting in front of a fire, grabbing a cup of hot air and fragrance, Nil sits next to her. When I first thought about it, I got used to it a lot.

"Did you understand the story of Beltoniley?

"I don't know if I understand everything, but generally.

In this world, new kinds of monsters are discovered, and strange things happen every day. The reaction to being told that someone you didn't know existed in the world would be much more tolerant than in the original world.

"Our aim in the future will be to gain the trust of Beltnilai.

"If you can trust me, can you get out of here?

"If you can't get out, you won't get the idea of keeping me locked up or killing me. We've brought everyone here, so there must be a way to get out of here and get to the continent. Hu and Ku can come out, too.

"If you can trust me, can you tell me how to do it? Then the question is, how do you trust me... and how long?

"That's right..."

I'm worried about you, but I have to talk about us and try everything...

From that day on, life began with Beltoniley and other holy souls.

The next day, Beltoniley first came to us when she woke up.

Like I said yesterday, to find out about us.

I almost talked to Hu and Ku, and I didn't have much to talk about, but I talked to Nil about the reason for my trip.

What we're doing is changing our minds and preparing for the Great War. I thought I might lose credibility because of that, but I decided that I shouldn't keep quiet.

Beltoniley's reaction was thinner than I expected, and nothing changed when I heard it.

After I finished explaining, I asked Beltnilai what I couldn't hear yesterday.

The interior of this boundary should also be visually obstructed by the magic of Beltoniley. And yet, why did you see Hu and Ku, and why did I hear Hu and Ku's voice?

One answer was sufficient for this.

"That's because Shinya is the Watanabe.

According to Beltnilai, in this world, the Holy Spirit is the only one who is proper for the magic of the Holy Spirit, but there are only those who deviate from its reason.

That's Watanabe, in short, me.

It seems that the magic that builds the boundary is the magic of the Holy Spirit, and it is slightly less effective for those who have the right to the magic of the Holy Spirit.

It seems that I can recognize Hu and Ku even from a little distance, and I can hear their voices.

Even though the effect was weak, the effect of being forced to walk out of the forest was normal. With that effect, it would be enough.

"When that happens, can I use the magic of the Holy Spirit?

"That's impossible. There is justice, but that doesn't mean you can use the magic of the Holy Spirit.

"Is it impossible to use it just because it is suitable? I'm just glad you realized that you're not using the magic of the Holy Spirit without knowing it.

"I won't do that.

"I apologize if I made you feel bad. They're the only people on the continent who will die if they don't be careful.

…………

"I change my mind, but you said you could do it yesterday. What were you doing?

"I applied the magic of the Holy Spirit again to keep the other three away from us. Not only Sinya, but even the three of you saw Hu and Ku from across the border, and when you were able to talk, the magic itself was weakening.

"I see..."

"Especially since it seemed like one person could never have noticed this area, I did it quickly.

I guess it's about Nathal...

"If there's anything else you'd like to ask me, please ask me each time. I'm always around the fountain.

"Okay.

That's how Beltoniley walks towards the fountain.

"I'm not worried about eating anymore... can we get out of here...?

Aloria caresses Burt's head and asks worriedly. I wanted to tell you it was okay... but the words didn't come out.

From that day on, life began with the Holy Spirits.

At first, Hu and Ku flew in and started talking and getting closer to each other. Especially if you're worried about training in the morning, coming to a nearby tree branch before it starts is watching us train.

The next creature to show me was a whole body of water. Unlike the slime, there is no nucleus, and the shape is completely free. It doesn't matter if it splits, and it can become misty.

Basically, it is often about the same age as Burt, but because the water that makes up the body is constantly flowing, it really feels like it's just a contour.

Besides, there seems to be no vocal organs, basically communicating with gestures.

Hu and Ku told me her name was Pulay.

It is a kind of spiritual spirit called water sperm, and its character is tea because it likes pranks. It is a type that is not very familiar.

The second day I came to the cave, I showed up with Hu and Ku.

Pooley's favorite is Burt, who often plays tricks and chases after him. Burt seems to be chasing seriously, but I've never seen him get caught.

The fairies appeared on day four.

It seems that there are no names for each individual, and they are called fairies. The most numerous of the Holy Spirits, about the size of my thumb, in human form. There are four feathers on his back that remind him of clear dragonflies.

The leaves were remodeled into clothes and Nil was obsessed with being cute.

The fairies can talk... or they talk too much. They love rumors, they talk anyway. However, there were a lot of people who brought me food and told me about the island and things in the realm.

In this way, we became friends with the holy souls who came close with interest one after another, and after a month, we became residents of Sharna.

That said, most of the other three forces blended in so quickly.

Nil was kind before him, Bart was innocent because of his children, and Aroria enveloped the sacred souls one after the other with the love of his mother.

It sounded bad to say it was a cage, but it looked like it to me.

The sacred souls, which were enveloped one after the other, began to live near the cave, and became a bustling place.

Such a thing happened one day. It was not long before Beltoniley visited the cave.

………

"Is that it, Beltnilai? What's the matter with you?

Beltoniley stands outside and watches us playing with the Holy Souls as usual in the cave. I think I've done something wrong.

"... I didn't expect to be able to communicate with everyone so quickly. Honestly, I'm amazed.

Around us, the Holy Spirits gather as they protrude from the cave.

"Aren't there even children who hate contact with others..."

"Really?

"... I have to admit this.

"Really?!

"The nostalgia of the people of the Holy Spirit is proof that your heart is so beautiful. These children are pure, so they only miss those who are truly beautiful.

"Really… do you trust us?

"That's right...?!

The face of the expressionless beltnille always gets steeper and stares out of the island.

"What's wrong?

"There's a group coming to this island.

"What?! Isn't it easy to find this island?!

"But you're definitely here..."
