v5c137.1 - Intermission 57 - Tsubaki, the Shinobi, who was straying
“I must hone my skills even more in order to win back Sister Sakura and Lady Meilin from that man.”
Leaving the house where I had been held captive, I hopped onto the roof and checked the surrounding terrain first.
…… The village was surrounded by a high wall, with fields to the south and forest to the north.
I jumped from the roof to the top of the wall to see what was outside the wall…
“…… W-What the hell is this!? What’s going on!?”
Nothing.
There was nothing but the endless empty ground.
The only thing that was there was this wall, stretching endlessly to the east.
I don’t know where I am, but I know it’s not good if I go outside this wall.
I decided not to think about the outside of the wall and went back inside.
“There may be something to the east, but …… F-For now, if I want to hide, it’s that forest.”
As a Shinobi, I have camped in the woods many times.
"
"
I know what wild plants are edible and I can hunt and cook the animals that live in the forest.
There must be at least a river or a lake in the forest, and that’s where I’ll train.
Sister Sakura, Lady Meilin …… please wait for me. I will rescue you, I promise!
I swore to myself and moved into the forest, but…
“There’s nothing! Why! Why are there no rivers or lakes in a forest of this size!?”
I couldn’t find any water at all.
On the contrary, there were no animals, only large, straight trees with no branches in low places, and no plants to eat.
When I reached the edge of the forest, it was again blocked by a high wall, and the entire forest seemed to be surrounded.
As I was walking through the forest, a loud noise echoed through the forest.
I headed toward the sound to see what was going on…
“A golem!? Is that man controlling it with magic!?”
A gigantic golem was chopping down a tree and carrying it somewhere.
“The mysterious weapon that can cut down that big tree in no time and the power to carry it so easily…… This is bad. That golem is very strong. But if I can’t defeat that golem, then I can’t defeat that sorcerer guy, huh.”
First of all, I walked through every corner of the forest …… and I was getting hungry.
The sun was already setting, but still not a single animal appeared, even as the large golem returned on the way and cut down a tree again.
“Ugh …… I’m thirsty. I’m hungry. I want to take a bath.”
It was probably when I was put to sleep.
All the weapons and emergency rations I had hidden away were gone.
Of course, I could spend a day or so without eating or drinking, but at least I’d like to secure water.
“Now that I think about it, I found something that looked like a bath by the cabin before I went into the woods …… I wonder if I won’t be found out at night.”
With my night vision working well, I headed back south from the forest to my destination …… where there are a lot of people?
It was a common bath for those who live here …… Wait a minute! W-What’s going on!?
As I hid in the shadows to see what was going on, I saw a group of boys and girls around the bath, about the age of Sister Sakura’s children, whom I had met today …… with their bodies on top of each other.
The boys and girls were not too far apart, and if I looked to the side, I could see them doing it, but they didn’t seem to mind at all.
On the contrary, one of the boys started twitching and stopped moving, then got up …… and began to lay his body on top of that of another girl.
“W-What is this!? What in the world is going on with the inhabitants of this place!?”
If I look closely, I can see that Sister Sakura’s child was also there …… Amazing! Wouldn’t a little boy like that die …… after using the lovemaking technique on a little boy like that?
I mean, how could a boy like that do it in the first place!? …… It was a foolish question. He’s doing it a lot, after all.
Wow …… he can let out that many!?
I mean, changing partners so many times …… how much more is he going to do!
I guess I was just watching the unbelievable scene unfolding in front of my eyes.
Suddenly…
“Hey, sister …… do you want to join in?”
“Hyaaaaaah!”
One of the boys was behind me and called out to me.
And, he’s completely naked …… Awawawawa. It’s the first time I’ve seen the real thing up close!
He’s a kid, so it’s pretty cute …… I guess not.
It seems to be the size of an adult, which I had heard from my teacher.
I mean, aren’t I in big trouble!?
I-I’m going to be attacked!
“I …… I won’t join in with you!”
“I see. If you change your mind, call out to one of us.”
“What? H-Huh? He’s gone.”
I thought I was going to be surrounded by those boys, have my clothes ripped off, and have my first time stolen from me …… That’s what I thought was going to happen.
Even though I have been trained in lovemaking techniques, I have no experience with it and I am not very good at it, to begin with.
Thank goodness …… Yeah. Thank goodness.
For the time being, I need to keep an eye on these kids to see if they do anything strange.
That’s right, as adults, I have to keep an eye on them!
