Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

When Kagetra told the servants of Serene's thick demands, all the work was done today, and each of the servants arrived on their way home. The soldiers who take care of Kagetra and Hinoe and guard the mansion live and live in the boarding houses provided on the property, but the majority of them go from the city. Kagetra's nostalgia is not rich enough to hold them all at all times.

During the meal of one of them - the lizards - the middlewoman who was present as a servant was heading in a different direction from her home. Choose the darkness in the alley to stay out of sight and walk in the dark. A little bit of where the woman arrived was a huge martial arts mansion with lots all over the city, unlike a kagetra in the middle of despicable (heppy) farmland.

The woman turns to the back of the fence and slips into it during the day, through the small tactical door used by the servants of this mansion. He ran straight through the garden for a small run and came in front of the zoo in the corner of the grounds. The door of the Zao was locked, but the woman,

"Jungle clouds on the moon, wind on flowers"

That said, the door was opened from the inside. The inside of the collection is anointed with darkness, and I have no idea how it is. But in the meantime, I could feel something stupid. The identity of a spooky object illuminated by a slight moonlight and floating in blur, slipping through an open door, is the part of a human, open eye dressed in a black outfit.

"That was late. I've been waiting."

The black outfit shrugged so low. It's a man's voice.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting. The owner of that mansion is very vigilant."

"Fair enough. That you've come this way means that our turn has finally come."

"Yeah, just in time."

Saying so, the woman smiles evil, but the black mask does not respond in particular. Ignoring that silence, the woman whispers.

"My husband here is also a bad person. I can't believe I bothered to make Hinoe a deceased because of her happiness."

"You and I were hired by that old raccoon, but that's not what I found out."

Somewhere ironically laughing at a woman, the man gavels at this look uninterested.

"It must be a foul spot for a great man to survive a existence with a curse. Well, it doesn't matter to us if we get the money."

"But the employer will have the money from Kagetra. Then he's already his, isn't he?

"That's why it's our turn. Ridiculous for a helpless kid, but you have to do your job right."

That's what the pale man answers. As you may see from the conversations we've had so far, they're spies. Apart from the role of exploring inside information as a woman, an assassination unit headed by this man had already been prepared.

"I heard Hinoe could read her mind, but she's still a little girl. I suppose all the chosen humans of Kagetra, great masters, think they are good. He smiled and spoke to me today."

That said, the woman grins at Hinoe's purity. Hinoe did not show such a bare gesture after actually working out of Kagetra's mansion.

It was Hinoe's father, no other, who asked them to assassinate Hinoe. He didn't like the fact that the clan's stains survived eventually. Even though it was legally transferred to Kagetra, if Hinoe were alive, it could be a weakness that would be plunged into a samurai of his class. In this island nation, curses are so discriminated against. The dirt should be disposed of as quickly and confidentially as possible.

"But why is it fitting? That guy who says lizards and stuff, he's powerless, but he can cut his head off. I don't have much clearance to attack."

"Heh heh, an exotic person came today, right? So just now, we got a message from Cagetra." We didn't have time today, but we'll have the best ingredients in the market tomorrow morning, and we'll have a feast at night, so get ready. "

"Well, so?

When the black mask prompts, the woman keeps stating her own plan.

"A grand feast that welcomed the envoys of the continent. Everyone will feel very good. Those who descend may also behave in disrespect. That's why we include this in our diet."

That said, the woman removed the little wipes from her nose. When I untie my mouth, there is white powder inside.

"I see. It's an inverted drug."

"You know me well. This is an application of the power of the curse that was once used by the curse bearers flowing on the continent. If you take this medicine, the fierce will transform your mind, like cowards, and vice versa, like any coward is brave."

I had a hard time getting it, the lady added. It's an abominable curse, but it actually sneaks out in the back. Tools with a curse that works on the mental side are often effective for purposes that can be frustrated. Of course, there are things that show hallucinations, so they are tightly controlled as dangerous substances.

"If you mix this with alcohol, guards as sensitive and brave as wolves, serving the Kagetra, will also be as dull as cursory cows. Heh heh, I thought it would be very effective because we only collect talented people."

"I see, there's no such thing as sewing between loose guards and sneaking in."

"Everyone floats at a feast with an exotic people. That's when the 'by chance' soldiers drinks deeply and relaxes their minds. So, unfortunately, theft infiltrates, and Hinoe gets involved."

Just kidding, the woman stated her plan to harm Hinoe. The man doesn't put it on the table either, but only narrows the eye area of the black outfit. It is certainly an excellent opportunity.

"But what do the kids do? Indeed, an exotic envoy should have had two children. You can't just drink to them."

"This is strange. What can you do for two young children like that? At night, you'll have happy dreams and fall asleep easily."

"… Well, I'd like to be cautious, but not enough to say it's going to be a problem."

With that said, the masked man decided to implement the woman's plan. The target is Hinoe alone. I wonder what the hell we need to fear from women and children if even the adults do something about it. Well, he's a toddler with no special combat training.

"Heh heh, poor kid Hinoe too. I can't believe we just made friends because of this, but it's time to say goodbye. I guess people with cursed powers shouldn't be happy."

"Don't slap me for nothing. I don't know where the rats are lurking."

Of course, the woman had taken great care of herself by the time she got here, but she whispered with a man's warning. You have to keep your mouth light enough. Anyway, what we're going to do is work behind us. We must proceed swiftly and carefully.

Then the woman and the masked man rubbed tomorrow's execution plan together in the dark. Thus, in the darkness even deeper than the darkness, in the house of Hinoe's birth, the plan to plunge Hinoe into hell gradually progresses, but no one noticed it yet.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Ha, Viva, the..."

"What the hell is that?"

The next morning, three of them, Serene, Marie and Hinoe, who had finished breakfast, were in a small mountain hot spring behind the Kagetra mansion. It is an easy place to reach just a few climbs up the open forest road, and there are a few others, but this was part of the land owned by Kagetra, essentially a natural open-air bath in his possession.

"Isn't it because Master Kagetra doesn't travel all over the city from this mansion, not just in financial terms, but because he likes this location" is Hinoe's valve.

Hinoe was due to stay after breakfast cleanup, etc., but my wife did say to me today, "Please enjoy your time with your friends," so Hinoe also came to the first hot spring with her girlfriend in a way that was sweet to that favor. By the way, as this hot spring is garlic water, it is only unfortunate that the reader cannot see the important part.

"Um, how about adding or subtracting hot water? Even so, it doesn't mean I can adjust..."

"I've never had a bath outside, but it feels so good. I could be a habit."

"Is that so…… it is above all else"

"Serene... you don't have to ask."

Hinoe strokes his chest down with relief. Marie liked the natural bath different from her usual stone royal palace bath, but Serene was in a better mood. Physically, I'm a girl, but I still want to spend more time sloppy in the hot springs like this than moving around in the middle age. Serene was fuzzy in a hot spring like a jellyfish drifting between the waves.

"Um... if you don't mind, can I show you around the city after this? We have permission from Kagetra to leave if we put security on it."

"Oh, that's good. That. I want to know more about the culture of this country."

"Me, no."

Serene said no to Hinoe's modest suggestion. You're welcome enough to go into the hot springs together like this, but Serene has no desire to learn about exotic cultures at all, as she's a drawstring physique.

I'm happy to invite a pretty brunette, but I'm tired of being walked around that distance during the day yesterday, and the feast opens at night. You can't walk around in the daytime and diminish your ability to eat sashimi.

The very concept of "power to eat sashimi" makes no sense, but Serene seriously thought so, before, Princess Ente served me the fried chicken cartilage, but at that time I had only heard of "special dishes" so I had not taken measures.

However, we know that a rare monster named "Sashimi" and "Raw Urchin" will appear this time, so the event begins and the stamina must be kept warm in order to have an opening dash. It's like a social game strategy.

"Hmm... Well, Serene is vulnerable to the light of day, so maybe we should be adults for sure"

"We hear that Shiroko is vulnerable to strong sunshine. Master Serene is struggling, too."

"Sticky -"

Serene replied softly to Hinoe's expression of mercy. Serene just really wants to be immersed in the hot springs, and he says he's struggling because of the prince, but he's not indissoluble because he can pull off the daytime grandiose thanks to this body.

"Well, we're going ahead, so let Serene go up in the right place."

"Aye."

When Serene responded raw, Marie and Hinoe went crazy and blew out a puff. When they went up from the hot spring, they wiped their bodies with the cloth they had prepared. Marie is usually in a red dress, but today she weaves a yukata prepared by Hinoe. Hinoe prepared something with a floral pattern on the red, which seemed to suit Marie's taste.

"That's pretty cute. Well, I'm cute in anything."

"No, really, you look great."

"But I was really surprised. 'Cause the clothes the bear bees are wearing, they look like they're out of broom. Since then, I can't imagine how cute she is."

"That's what samurai are for... Oh, you know, if you like it, there's a garment store in the city, so why don't you show your face there?

"Nice! All right! I'm gonna go buy the guy I like from one end! Come on, Hinoe, hurry up too!

"Oh, hey, wait -!

Marie seems completely captivated by the charm of her yukata, which is different from her own dress. In a mismatched outfit called shoes on his yukata, he goes down the bright woods to jump. Hinoe rushes after it too. Later, there was only one Serene left in the hot spring.

Butler came back at dawn to see if the reconnaissance was longer than he thought. Exactly. He seems tired, too, and is now letting Serene take a nap inside the room reserved for him.

Since the guards patrol regularly, there was no particular problem with Serene being left alone. Strongly speaking, Serene is the problem itself.

"Hehe."

Even after the two of them left, Serene was floating in the hot tub like a sausage during boil cooking. It's not bad to see a pretty girl's skin, but we're both too kids. It will be different again after a few more years, but now it was not enough for Serene to stretch her forefingers.

But it's a corner, so I tried a little hot water. The leftover water of a beautiful girl has a rejuvenating and life-extending effect. Drinking just a little bit made me feel like I was getting a lot of vitality there, so I felt like it would work (probably).

Then for a while Serene had a long bath, but she just soaked it too long. The skin is originally white, so when the blood circulation improves, Serene becomes peachy all over her body. It is the descent of the pink devil.

When the pink demon wiped his body with the cloth provided, he wore it in the white dress he usually wore. I know that there is a habit in this country that abhors magic because Serene heard it yesterday.

Then, naturally, there is no magic braided clothing. If it's true, I wanted a good yukata, like an old man wearing all over it, but I had no choice but to wear this dress without being able to work.

"Kah! Beer!"

Thus, Serene, whose skin was shiny, raised the roar of desire while descending on a gentle slope by herself. Oh, I'd love a beer. Even though the beer you swallow after a bath is exceptional.

"Ha..."

But I guess that's an unfulfilled wish. I am a child no matter what I do now. Even when I asked for beer in Valvere, I couldn't get the liquor out. I'm sure they won't let me out this time either. Unfortunately, at the banquet table, we have to drink tears instead of booze.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Breakfast cleanup and daytime snacks, as well as the servants who had finished preparing under the evening feast, were getting ready for busy and in for an early break. As Kagetra put it, he purchased fresh seafood in the market and is now letting it swim in raw meat. These fish are scheduled to be picked up later by a skilled cook.

When everyone goes to rest and makes sure no one is there, the lady sneaks in on the cooking. In front of her there is a watering and a barrel of liquor placed beside it. The only purpose, of course, is to mix this liquor that will behave tonight with inverted medicine. Remove the lid of the liquor barrel and add all the contents of the bag with white powder and stir in the hiccups that were on the water. This medicine is almost tasteless and odorless, and not noticed by a concomitant human being first.

"Huff, it's the beginning of the feast."

Now we're ready. After that, if you let him drink this booze, get through the guards who have become like Kakashi, and twist and kill Hinoe, who has no resistance whatsoever, he will complete his mission. That's the only way to get huge amounts of money in. Play luxuriously with the gold that has completed its mission, that is their true 'feast'.

With her eyes shining on her first big job in a long time and the reward ahead, the woman undone the lid of the barrel and quickly stepped out of the entrance leading to the mansion.

"Omitsu, Omitsu"

Shortly after the woman walked out the entrance and exit of the mansion, Serene came in from a winning hand connected to the garden. I was thirsty after a long bath, so I came looking for a cold drink. I couldn't do the booze, but I wondered if fruit milk would do the trick, so I had no choice but to compromise with water.

"Is anybody there?

However, the cooking area was quiet and Serene struck her tongue even though she wanted to share the water. There is no way Serene could do a troublesome imitation of turning back in silence here, pulling water up from a well outside and drinking, etc. Serene decided to break in at will and disrespect the water.

"There it is!

Because it is a cooking area, I stepped on the idea that there would be about water, but I have a hinge to drink it carefully. I just reach for it and try to drink water...

"…… Hmm?

So Serene noticed an anomaly. This hiccup smells like booze. It's usually a blunt, extreme serene, but only at times like this is as sharp as a police dog.

"No way...... Ooh!?

Maybe there's booze around here. The next moment she thought so, Serene acutely perceived the slightly staining smell of liquor from the barrel just beside her. Pull the chair around and scaffold it, trying to get away with the somewhat heavy lid.

"Uh-oh!?

Serene screamed unexpectedly. Alcohol! Alcohol! I don't care about the water on the side anymore. Serene shudders its thick liquid with trembling hands when she takes her hiccups again, including in her mouth.

"Ugh, it's too good duh!

As if struck by lightning, Serene shook herself and shed a glimmer of tears. No, I have trouble crying about that, but Serene cried anyway. That's how hungry I was. There's no way I can stand something like this. By the way, I pour the shaky, dull cut down my throat.

"Pfft! Ugh, shit!

I'm not sure what the hell it is, but Serene praised it in dirty language. That's how I squeeze the second cup and it sucks...

"Oops!

Surprisingly, Serene, take this through. The lid and chair were rushed back to their original position and camouflaged as if nothing had happened.

"I didn't..."

I was about to drink until I was cut off and intoxicated, but when I thought calmly, I put my mouth on people's house liquor at will. This is not good. Serene is not a regular obsession when it comes to alcohol, so if he drinks, he can cut the bee. When I thought about it, I kind of felt like committing a major crime and wanting to confess.

Most importantly, if you get well and drunk here, you risk losing the chance to eat the sashimi and cows at the heart. It may be possible to find alternatives to alcohol on the continent, but sashimi can only be eaten here.

"Ugh, fuck you"

In the end, Serene had to make a tactical retreat to her chambers while she kneaded and drank just a glass of alcohol lightly, pulling her hair back enough to lift her baldness.
