Yakou, who was a little boy, has now grown up. He has the stature of an adult.
“Yakou!”
“Whoa!”
The way he ran after the Frisbee that Shuten threw, it didn’t look like it.
Even if they are immortal, they can’t be used if they don’t age right after birth; the subjects of the HC project stop aging after they become adults.
This means that Yakou, whose body was not fully grown, was newly created.
The person who sent Jiro Yamada gave me this precious sample. Hmm, why?
I was a little curious and followed the ecology of the Yakou.
After waking up, breakfast, studying, lunch, playing with Shuten, bath, dinner and bedtime. Yes, normal. Normal, except for a few things.
When Shuten is not around, one of the Tiger Skins plays in his place. Thanks to my studies, I was able to talk to him a little bit. That was good.
No, I don’t want to know how he turned out. I want to know why he was sent here.
The faulty program that Jiro Yamada had given us was quickly decoded by Sin.
It read, “I will sneak into the city of iron and stone and murder the Lord,” and, as I expected, “I will not learn the language.”
I could also tell that there was no other interference. I could not touch the antenna either, but I changed the content so that it would not work.
I don’t need to worry about Yakou being brainwashed from the outside to attack me.
Yes, nothing is too much. So it’s scary. But I don’t feel comfortable rejecting it now. I’m in trouble.
“Toki. Ogre-san and Shuten-san would like to talk to you for a moment.”
“Hmm? I hope they’re not in trouble again.”
“Don’t say something like that. I’m just saying that there was a strange incident on Size Tide.”
“Strange? Well, it doesn’t bother me.”
Let’s just go with it when information is passed along from other places. Right now, there are no news reports. At times like this, I get a little excited.
“Is it in the auditorium?”
“Yes. They’re remodeling the building to make room for a conference room.”
“…When did that happen?”
◇◆◇◆◇
“Hmm, isn’t this just a burglary?”
“Is it?”
“Hmm, I knew it…”
“Hmm. There’s nothing else I can think of.”
“Dau?”
Although West Size was infested by the beast, some of the residents managed to escape.
Now that Size Tide and South-Size are almost back on their feet, the restoration of West-Size seems urgent.
Dels took over the city by taking in the oppressed, and it would be unfair to abandon the residents of West-Size now.
Let’s all do our best! That is their administrative policy. Excellent. As far as I can see from the outside.
With the help of the Tiger Skins, they were able to exterminate the beasts that had invaded West-Size and finally began to rebuild West-Size.
First, the exploration team set out to examine the facilities that could and could not be used and discovered one fact.
Even a wild beast would not bother to search every house for a home.
But when the investigation team looked into the matter, they found that all the vases in all the homes had been broken. Everything from water bottles to vases had been broken relentlessly. Did they have bad memories?
Further investigation revealed that the cabinets and drawers had also been opened once and everything important was missing. If it was an animal, it would not open and close. It was a human.
Their hands reached to the mansion of the Lord of Western Greatness, and they stole as much as they could, including weapons or potential weapons, armor, gold, medicine, and food.
Even the “dancing clothes” used in the city’s New Year’s rituals disappeared, which is pretty insane if it is the work of a human.
Investigators thought it was the work of humans. At first they thought it was a fight between wild beasts, but when they examined the bodies in the town, they found that some had been slashed, others beaten, and still others burned.
“What should we do?”
“What do you mean, you can’t speak for others.”
There is nothing I can say to the Tiger Skins who stole so much from the Foothandle.
The Tiger Skins’ theft is still going on. They seem to want to uproot the place. The other day they even took a heat gun from wherever they found it.
It looks like it’s broken, but please don’t give it to children as a toy. Of course, I had Suzuka take it away.
“Well, let’s blame the burglars for now, but do you have any idea where the burglars went?”
“As far as Jenga and the others can see, the faint footprints and wheel tracks indicate that they went east.”
“So it’s a horse-drawn carriage. But it’s east… could it be coming from that direction?”
“Maybe we should consider that possibility.”
It’s convenient to get this kind of information in advance by Shuten mail, which is faster than a horse-drawn carriage. The more prepared you are, the better. However… is a bit of a hassle. What to do.
If you try to break into my house. A thief, of course, is a defense mechanism, a hive. You can’t prepare for them.
The question is.
“I knew it was an expedition group.”
“They say they stole through the town, which had become the territory of wild beasts, and cut them down in small numbers. I’m sure he’s very good at it, regardless of sexuality.”
Troublesome.
It’s a small world, but it’s a big one. We don’t have enough people to find it from here.
Will I have to give up going out again? Just as I was about to think about it, there was a knock.
“Oh. June-chan, where did you go?”
“Excuse me. I’m sorry to disturb your meeting. Banga-san and the others have returned from Foothandle and asked me to deliver a message to Father.”
“What is it?”
“I heard that there are five people in the Foothandle with a carriage in tow.”
……
“Well, that’s very timely.”
“A fight seems to have broken out, and some people have been injured.”
“What about the dead?”
“No.”
That’s good. But… hmm.
“Toki-sama, will you let me go?”
“I will go with you.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Well, if you have a buddy who got hurt, you should at least get back at him. It’s a good way to blow off steam.
