Isekai Taneuma

The night they discovered the tribe of rabbits supplying pepper, Feng and the others set up a camp a little further from their hideout after the welcoming feast. The reason is that the rabbits' houses were too small to stay, but after the banquet, while we were having a conversation with the chief about the future, there were chutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchutchu

Once the appetite is satisfied, it seems true that the rabbit has a strong sexual appetite this time. During the day, the rabbit man who showed me to the pepper tree said it was light, but it might be a natural feeling in this tribe to increase it again when he dies.

If you think about it, only a handful of mammals are saddened by the death of their fellow animals. Other creatures live drier, for example, if the Beast attacks them, they sacrifice part of the herd to help the whole. Human beings can make such decisions, but there are always hard choices. Rabbit people do it instinctively and automatically. That's the only difference.

Rich human emotions broaden the range of choices, but can also cause mistakes. I felt like I had reconfirmed such a natural thing.

And Feng broke up with the rabbits, saying that he should keep in touch with the merchants of the valiant. They said they would take care of it on another shift, but if they die, they'll forget about it again, so you might want to talk to the neighboring tribes on your way home.

Aiming for the last settlement to be replenished with that intention, the camp was set up at a time when the sun was almost over. It's not that far from the rabbit colony, so what the hell are you doing, but that's it. He set fire to the camp, and the two of Guillaume and Jeanne circled only a kilometre around, then set up a tent in the middle of the forest that night, which was empty.

Late at night...

Whether it was because of the tiredness of the movement here, or because it was a relief to reach the goal, the moment I got to bed, Feng, who fell asleep like mud, woke up happily in the quiet time zone around me.

I overslept without saying anything, but it was supposed to be my turn to sleep during the camp. When he jumped up in a hurry, he tried to get out of the tent.

The darkness in the tent is probably because it's still before dawn. You may have woken up surprisingly early because you slept too early. I can't confirm it because I don't have a watch, but how long have I been asleep... when I thought it might be bothering everyone, I heard a voice outside my tent.

"... Originally, there was no oanness in this area where there were many demons. Then he didn't come north avoiding the other demons. What could possibly be the reason? I wonder if he's the weak in the south because he's avoiding the fierce war zone. Think of a time when humans seek new heavens and earth. It may be considered that humans move, for example, when food runs out or work runs out. Then, when there was no place to live in the mutation. Then there's the danger of being harmed by the enemy in a war or something. If there is less food in the southern hemisphere, Oannes is not the only demon tribe going north. Likewise, there will be many other species in the heavenly mutation. I mean, he's not a refugee. There's been some fighting in the southern hemisphere, and only Oannes has been driven north... which, if you think about it, could explain the low number of fishmongers in this area, which could also be called a war zone."

It sounds like Leonardo. Apparently, he's talking to someone about the summary of the expedition. The hypothesis that both fishermen were refugees was convincing to Feng. If you are a refugee who is originally in danger, it is a reason to choose a dangerous cross-mountain route, and also a reason to avoid conflict zones like this southern basin. But why would pregnant women come all the way?

Still... what bothered me was that I could hear the old man's voice and the other person's voice didn't sound like it. Who the hell are you talking to? Leaving the tent with that in mind, Leonardo was alone in the fire, stirring it with a stick of fire that seemed boring. I don't see anyone but him around.

I wonder what happened. I don't know... considering the rudeness, Leonardo came out of the tent and found the untouchable.

"Oh, Feng. Are you awake? No, did I wake you?

"No, I don't think so... I'm sorry, I fell asleep without saying anything, but was the fire okay?"

Then the old man tapped the hourglass beside him.

"I was going to wake you when it was time for the pigeon. I don't mind sleeping for a while."

"No, then it's already up."

Feng was relieved not to bother anyone, and went out to the fire.

"... have you been talking to anyone right now? Maybe it's my fault."

"Hmm, it's not my fault. He certainly talked about it."

In that case, no one can be seen. Could it be that he was talking to himself? Feng thinks so.

"Spirit."

"... spirits?

Leonardo says he wasn't talking to himself, he was communicating with the Spirit.

"Really....?

"Mm-hmm. It's the same as not seeing. If you don't believe me, that's good."

"No, I don't mean that...."

Nevertheless, there's nothing I can do because I can't see the problem, even if I'm told to believe what I can't see. Feng raised his shoulders and realized that the old man's advice was correct.

"... spirits are those five spirits?

"Dear Left, I was just talking about Maitreya... commonly known as Mitra."

"Hmm... is that where you are now?

The old man shook his head.

"Spirits are everywhere. It's just that humans don't notice it. If you realize that, you'll be able to see it. Behind you....."

That's what Leonardo said, throwing his unfocused gaze behind the phoenix. When he looks back at you, there's nothing there but darkness. However, if you say so, something will come out of the darkness.....

Feng trembled and changed the subject, saying that it was wiser to think that there was nothing invisible, as the old man had said.

"Does Grandpa think there's a demonic war going on in the south?

"... did you hear that? Well, I've been thinking about something close to that... don't you think you're different?

Then Feng shook his head,

"I generally agree... but I'm sure there's something going on in the south that drives only the Oannes. But I don't think that's a war."

"Hmm... so, what do you think you are?

"I don't know... I just don't understand why pregnant women are the only ones running away... Normally, even if you talk to a refugee, there are both young and old, right? If you're at war, there may be fewer young men, but there must be children. I can't find it."

"... I see."

"I think there's a reason for that... but what kind of life do demons live in the southern hemisphere? What kind of ecology is that?

"Nothing... nothing like going to the southern hemisphere to study demons... for the last 300 years."

Feng was worried about the old man for a moment.

"You were there 300 years ago?

"Whoa... Lord Orpheus, it's Amadeus."

Sir Orpheus is definitely Mozart… I didn't think that the great musician (Maestro) was on such a daring adventure, and Feng was surprised.

"Originally a traveler, he loved adventuring into the unknown. So, after the war, when the hero who was said to be free to cut off was investigating Wallachia, he went with him to see what was going on in the southern hemisphere. He seemed interested in Neuroi, the home of the demons, and wanted to make sure what was going on there."

"So, how was it?

Then the old man closed his eyes and slowly shook his head.

"I don't know."

"I don't know...? Why?"

He didn't come home.

Neurois is said to be the birthplace of the demons. In fact, as Feng and the others went south, they felt that the demon tribe was increasing.

"... were you killed?

"It would be reasonable to think so. As the merchants had said, the brave came to this place, and found the pepper, and returned to the north. But there was no Lord Orpheus next to the brave man who came back. The purpose of the brave is only to investigate Wallachia. It's not Neuroi. So you broke up on the way. The brave man didn't think he'd be killed, and he said he'd be back soon, but now it's hopeless."

"Why did you go all the way to a dangerous zone where even the brave would hesitate?

"That's all I can say about personality anymore. Do you know the word calligraphy?

Feng nodded. Parents, teachers, and others in the audience are more willing to do what they are told not to do. It was named after the ancient Roman Emperor Caligula, known as the tyrant.

Sir Orpheus was curious and particularly adventurous. There may have been a rebound when he died young, did not know how he was valued after his death, and was whispered to the end by his father. According to one legend, he gave it back to his friend by pooping on one side of the wall in the room he rented it from. Well, I suppose we wouldn't have gotten to that magnificent musicality if it weren't so rude.

I'm sure he couldn't beat the curiosity of wanting to see it.

"The world we know about now is this southern river basin. From here onwards, we can only fragment what kind of world the demons are creating. You're right, even if something other than war is happening, we have to imagine it."

"This must be the front line of mankind...."

Feng wondered,

"Hey? It's funny how a weak tribe like a rabbit lives in such a place...? I wish I lived in a safer place to the north, but why do they go out of their way to hide in this dangerous area?"

"That's an idea of reversal."

To Feng's question, the old man said so without putting in his hair.

"In the north and south, there is a gap (niche) in the habitat between the Demons and the Beasts. This river basin just hits it. If the Beasts of the North were to settle in this basin, the Demons of the South would come and disperse them, and if the Demons ruled the basin, the Beasts of the North would gather to defeat them. But no one cares if a weak tribe like a rabbit is there.

But from a rabbit's point of view, things change. If they go south from here, the demons will prey, and if they go north, the other tribes will take their prey. It would be more convenient to live just in the middle of it. "

"Then why don't we go to the human habitat? A brave leader wouldn't discriminate against a beast, would he?

"But you will be enslaved."

When Leonardo told him to pishali, Feng swallowed his words. To tell you the truth, all the beasts who lived in the human habitat were treated badly. Lizard merchant Gekko also brought other species of beasts as human legs. Conversely, I've never seen a werewolf farmer working humans or a cat shop flourishing.

Why do they get so badly treated? Is it because humans are blocking new entries?... when I thought about it, Feng remembered the daytime scene.

During the day, when he proposed to increase the number of pepper trees with tree inserts, the rabbit man could not learn how to do so no matter how many times he taught. I don't remember using very difficult words or being mean. What you're doing should have been very easy. However, that rabbit man couldn't remember the simple thing no matter how many times he said it, so Feng's head gradually got cool, and I was wondering if he was stupid...

"I see... I see why the Beast is being enslaved in the human world."

Feng said.

"They're fundamentally retarded. That's not to say that you have low academic ability, it's purely, simply that human beings and veterinarians make different brains. So they can't take it for granted."

And Leonardo nodded greatly to inherit the words of Feng.

"Dear Left, to be honest, when the Holy Emperor told me to cut through the Great Forest of Wallachia, I first wanted to indoctrinate the southern beasts. But I couldn't. As you can feel, the beasts lack creativity.

The Beast builds villages, fields, and livestock, but he can't cook, make houses, make artwork, or make such workmanship. Not at all, but they can't understand the complex economic mechanisms of human society.

That's why the brave fell back from Wallachia. Still, if we forced ourselves to open the big forest, what would have happened to the beasts who lost their destination... and what kind of extension the demons made in the big forest that lost the beast society, I don't know, but I don't think it's done. "

So the brave man switched to the cultivation project? It's not about the Holy Empire. "

"Yes, and when the heroes started the dredging project, there were beasts who had broken the competition for the survival of the Great Forest. But they chose slaves as the only way to survive, because they could not be mixed with humans. If you only do what you're told, like carrying luggage and simple work, you can do it with the Beast. That's what's still going on."

When making Brave Brands, the Beasts probably didn't come together because they admired brave men. Originally, the beasts who broke the competition for the survival of the Great Forest gathered with the brave to survive.

If you go to the brave and listen to the human being, you can eat. Unlike priests, it's easy because you don't get so badly treated and above all, you don't have to think about anything. But where did tribal pride go? It's like a livestock.....

Feng thought.

No... there were as many of those people as there were. You've seen people waiting for instructions who can only do what they're told, in the world before you were alive, to the point where you hate them. What makes such a person different from the Beasts? What was the difference between humans and livestock?

"It wasn't creativity that separated us, man and beast. Humans can create things from nothing and create the future. And it finally changed the world. He calls it a fantasy embodiment" Fantastic Vision "...."
