This is not a good place.

Looking at the obviously low wooden and earthy houses around, and the old-fashioned pedestrians walking by each other from time to time, Shuishu had to express such emotion. As a beautiful young man who loved to grow up in a metropolis, he suddenly came to such a place with an old atmosphere everywhere, and no one could adapt to it. At least now, Shuishu did not feel how beautiful the fresh air that was almost impossible to feel in the city, and how pleasant the scenery around him was, but there was an inexplicable fear that was always lingering.

"At least you have to figure out what happened." Thinking of this, Mizuki stopped an old lady who looked very kind-looking and asked, "Where is this place?" The old man was wearing an ordinary Edo-era kimono, wearing a pair of straw sandals, holding a fresh-looking vegetable in his hand. He looked at Mizuki with a little confusion and said, "External? Qing people?" Mizuki heard the words spoken by the old man and looked at the old man's outfit. Although he didn't understand why he was called "Qing people", he also understood that it was not the Celestial Empire, but seemed to have arrived in a place similar to ancient Japan. It was right. He was just studying in Japan, so it was naturally impossible to return to ancient times for no reason.

It's a Chinese version. Seeing the other party staring at him, Mizuki thought about it and said in Japanese: "Hello, what is this place?" "This is the world and the place where humans live. Sometimes outsiders like you will appear, but don't worry too much. You follow this road and see the largest house there. Just go in and ask someone..." The old man saw that he could communicate, but he didn't know if it was too long since he hadn't chatted. He said a lot of things that were not there. Unfortunately, Mizuki was very anxious about his current situation and didn't have the heart to pay attention to her, so he smiled and thanked her, and then walked towards the big house in front of him that seemed to be a prominent family.

The water tree walked slowly, but was thinking of another question in his mind: Why did the old man say that this is a place where humans live? Is there any intelligent creature of human beings? As for outsiders, it seems that I was not the only one who came to this place, so I had to find some people to ask.

At the end of the street, Shui Shu looked at the big house that was obviously beyond the other houses and was almost stuck on the "famous family" horizontal strips, and inexplicably felt envy and jealousy. After all, pigs knew that in the current Celestial Empire, it was not easy to buy a house that was used in big cities. Although Shui Shu could study in Japan and her family was considered wealthy, she could only complain in her heart: "Evil capitalism! Ah, no, this is obviously a feudal period, a landlord of evil!" Standing in front of the door, a character who looked like a doorman, Mizuki walked up and said hello: "I'm disturbed. I don't know how I came to this place. What can I do?

Is it a way to go back?" The man was not quite solid and stood there thinly, wearing a simple but obviously standard coarse cloth clothes. A passerby's face opened his slightly closed eyes and looked at Mizuki. He seemed to be a little confused. "External?" "Well, please, please." Mizuki responded. The man in front of him seemed to wake up suddenly and said excitedly with Mizuki's incomprehensible: "External? Finally, there is an outsider again! Ah, sorry, it's rude. I am Harada, from Osaka, and I came to this place inexplicably. I have always heard that there are other outsiders, but I haven't seen any new ones. It's almost a year! Can you imagine that there are no computers, no TVs, no washing machines, no microwaves, and even no comics..."

"This person also seems to be from Japan, um..." Mizuki thought a little, interrupting the man's complaint in front of him, "Well, although I'm happy to see you, can you please explain my current situation?"

Harada was stunned for a moment, and his excited face collapsed. He sighed and said, "Yes, what if you can meet an outsider? I still have to guard the door here to get a meager salary and make a living. Sorry, I finally saw the fellow villager just now, and I was a little excited. You came here today, right?"

Mizuki nodded at Harada who was inexplicably depressed, but seeing that the person in front of him seemed to have been here for a long time and was not very interested, she felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Oh, that's really unfortunate. This is a place where monsters are isolated from the outside world, called Fantasy Country." Shui Shu's heart sank, but she continued to listen.

"All kinds of non-human creatures are here, monsters live here, and humans are barely forced to have thousands of people. It is said that this place has a powerful barrier that blocks the outside, and I don't know much about it. But if you want to go out, I advise you to give up. Although there are rumors that the witches in the Bori Shrine can send people out, many outsiders have done this before, but..."

"What's wrong?" Mizuki didn't want to stay in such a place all his life. The word "monster" doesn't sound like there will be something good. He suddenly heard that there was a way to get out and asked quickly.

Harada seemed to be unsurprisingly, and looked like he was not sure whether it was a memory or a horror on his face, and he whispered to Mizuki: "It is said that he was eaten by monsters before he even went to the shrine. And I don't know whether it was true or not. The witches in that shrine seemed to have an indescribable relationship with a bunch of very powerful monsters."

When Mizuki heard this, he didn't know what to say. No one was killed by hope in a blink of an eye and would not feel good. Harada looked at Mizuki with sympathy, patted his shoulder and said, "Oh, brother, I came here too. I advise you to think about something practical, find an ordinary woman to marry and have children and spend your whole life in the world. You must know that other places are too dangerous except for the world. And even if you can go to that shrine, who knows whether you can go out? If you can't go back, who can guarantee that you can walk back safely."

Feeling that Harada was sincerely caring for him, Mizuki couldn't help but feel warm. Although the news he received so much is not happy, he still asked: "So what are you doing now, Mr. Harada?"

"I, I am now working as a doorman in Baitian's house. Isn't this very obvious? Miss Aqiu is such a good person. At that time, I gave up on myself and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Miss Aqiu was willing to take me in and gave me a job. Otherwise, a useless man like me would not be able to survive in this place."

As he spoke, Harada's words seemed to turn into a unilateral admiration for Miss Aqiu, Mizuki couldn't help but feel helpless. But thinking about it, people who can help in time are always welcome. "Oh, by the way! I'll take you to find a house in the world to settle it first. Although monsters don't take the initiative to attack humans now, occasionally people will disappear inexplicably. There are still many idle houses, so I'll help you settle them first."

"Well? Is Mr. Harada still responsible for such a thing?" Mizuki couldn't help but wonder. This is not what a guard should do.

"The Hachida family, where I work now, is a real human family in Fantasy Township. It is said that the outsiders before me were all from the Hachida family. I was lucky to meet Miss Aqiu. Ah, Miss Aqiu..." Seeing Harada's words heading in a strange direction again, Mizuki could only interrupt: "Ah, sorry, Mr. Harada, please help me find my place to live first." Seeing that it was getting late, the Hachida family seemed to have information that they needed to know, Mizuki could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and wait until he came here tomorrow to ask. Harada curled his lips, as if he was dissatisfied with his failure to continue to express his admiration for Miss Aqiu, but he still said: "Okay, come with me."
