After eliminating all these strange things, Soina and Souji have also solved the evacuation problem. Samura Anno took his wife and daughter, and the three outsiders who lived in his home, returned to the house.
middle.
Oh, and Izo Okada.
As the only injured person in this commotion, Samura successfully rescued Okada Izo.
"Is this okay?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little curious.
She didn't feel there was anything scary, but instead felt...a little funny?
Mainly because of Nobu's appearance, he doesn't look really scary... but rather cute.
I wonder what Miss Nobunaga would think when she saw these guys...
"I don't know, but I will protect you."
Zuo Cun hesitated and took his knife from the wall.
Hehe...is the name of this knife.
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Samura's back from behind and fell into deep thought.
Mr. Samura, it is indeed different from before.
In the past, Zuo Cun would only protect everything he wanted to protect without saying a word, but now Mr. Zuo Cun...
Is it because of Miss Souji and Miss Soina?
...
Fortunately, after the riot in the square, no more serious problems occurred.
This lasted until the next morning, and there were no more strange disturbances.
"I want to go to the village chief."
Zuo Cun, who had stayed up all night, said seriously, his mental state seemed to be good.
"I'll go with you."
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was still a little sleepy, quickly got up.
"Um?"
Zuomura, who placed his two knives on his waist, glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka in surprise. After thinking for a moment, he chose to nod.
"As a foreigner, I encountered danger in the village. Miss Fujimaru really needs to know more. Come with me."
"Well! Miss Yukina, Auntie Soori, please protect Miss Souji and Miss Soina!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka put on her shoes and gave instructions to her servants.
"I can protect myself!"
Ezuna pulled out a rifle from somewhere, bit her lip and said.
She slept with this one in her arms last night.
The director also took out his California Clear Light and put it on his waist. He smiled at Zuomura and said, "Did you forget what my job is at the patrol station?"
"...Then, I'm begging you, Souji."
After hugging his wife gently, Zuomura walked out of the house with Fujimaru Ritsuka.
...
"This, could it be..."
Arriving at the village chief's house, which looked very luxurious, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the nameplate on the door and twitched the corner of his mouth.
The last name on the nameplate of the village chief's house is...
【Oda】
"Is the village chief at home?"
Zuo Cun knocked on the door and called out. It looked like he had been used to it for a long time.
"Onee-sama is not at home...ah, it's Samura-sama."
The person who opened the door for Samura was Oda Nobukatsu. He was stunned for a moment after seeing Samura.
"The village chief is not at home?"
Zuo Cun frowned.
"Xin Sheng, what's going on?"
Oda Nobukatsu hesitated for a moment, then stuck his head out of the house, looked around, and then dragged Samura in.
"Hijikata?"
Zuo Cun was not too surprised when he saw Hijikata also appearing in the house.
Hijikata is the chief of the patrol bureau responsible for village security, and he will definitely come to the village chief's home to inquire about the specific situation.
but......
Why is the village chief not at home?
"My sister is missing."
Oda Nobukatsu looked sad and helpless.
"Now Chacha is in charge of the village."
"Chacha..."
Samura and Hijikata looked at each other, and both saw the doubts and troubles in each other's eyes.
Village leader Oda Nobunaga is missing...
Fujimaru Ritsuka sat behind Zuomura and scratched his head.
Nobunaga is missing?
So what's going on with that head in Chaldea...?
"When did the village chief disappear?"
Hijikata crossed his arms and looked at Oda Nobukatsu sternly.
"My aunt has actually been missing for several days."
Chacha walked out of the room looking a little haggard, but he still seemed to be holding on.
"Miss Chacha..."
"It must have been a few days ago. My aunt went to the top of the mountain and never came back."
"Nobukatsu seemed to not want everyone in the village to fall into a state of panic, so he kept silent for the time being."
"Can you please go to the mountain to look for your aunt?"
Chacha looked at Zuocun and Hijikata with tired eyes.
As for Fujimaru Ritsuka behind Zuo Cun, Chacha simply ignored him.
In other words, in the current situation, it is better to ask the local powerful to take care of a foreigner.
"That's exactly what I meant."
Zuo Cun nodded.
The lake at the top of Mount Kurokawa...that place...
Chacha finally looked relieved.
"Then, please... take the opportunity to say hello to the two miko-sama for me."
...
"On the way up the mountain, there is a shrine to worship the mountain god."
Samura explained to Fujimaru Ritsuka who asked questions.
"There are two shrine maidens living in the shrine. Then around the beginning of this year, Souna was chosen and became the new shrine maiden. She is still in the learning stage."
"I see, Miss Soina is really a miko."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was quite surprised.
Now she won't be surprised if any strange things happen in this singularity...
It's really too strange and counter-intuitive.
"If you want to go up the mountain, Hijikata and I can go there. You can stay at home." Zuo Cun touched the handle of his knife, "There are many wild beasts on the mountain road. The shrine will not be attacked because of the protection of the mountain god, but the road
Different."
"It's okay, I will take Miss Xuena and Aunt Zhizhi with me, they will protect me."
Fujimaru Ritsuka still chose to go on her own.
I am here to solve this unique point. How can I do it if I don’t do it myself?
This is not arrogance, but a sense of responsibility based on professional psychology.
"they......"
Zuo Cun remembered the strange attack method he saw yesterday.
"Are you onmyojis who control shikigami battles? Are you like Abe Seimei?"
Zuo Cun asked.
"What?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka showed a blank expression.
"nothing......"
Zuo Cun shook his head.
There is no need to delve into other people's secrets.
"If you want to keep up, follow closely."
Hijikata Toshizo said with a cold face.
"I don't know what happened on the top of the mountain. It's best to be careful."
Zuocun also gave a reminder.
"Don't worry, Miss Xuena and Aunt Zhizhi are very strong."
Fujimaru Ritsuka has always given one hundred and twenty percent confidence in his followers.
"Then, let's go."
After calling their followers, the group of five people walked towards the gate of Kurokawa Mountain.
