Voluon-san Meets the Unknown

After we got caught up in Ten-san's Teleportationtransported so for ourinto the unknoouldn't be the wisest course of action

When I finallyfor a bit, I understood that it was totally different from Ballow

One of the core differences was that the density of her

Somehow, it was siical disaster that happened around Hibernia about a hundred years ago

But even so, theinto the leylines without any kind of trouble, without causing the leylines to overflow or malfunction

It felt really comfortable here

As I was immersed in this totally different atmosphere, Senjiro put his hands into his sleeves, his expression being really difficult to read for soon, but still, I'm sorry that I wasn't of any help」

「Please, don't be After all, she took Aru as a hostage, so there wasn't much any of us could do」

At leastthat she wasn't intending on hurting Aru, but there was no way for us to be aware of that back then

I also didn't think that she meant no harm at that moment, but there was no excuse for my hesitation and lack of resolve

As Nectar tried to coiven time, we must put the safety of the kids before our own We fail to do that, and we lose」

Senjiro looked deeply depressed when he said that, and both Nectar and I exchanged aard looks

「Now that it has co ain」

Senjiro muttered to himself, and I asked him a question to distract hiurila?」

「Not really The one I'ht , the one who made it possible for me to become a Guardian in the first place」

Senjiro's ears continued to

「Master always used to say that I shouldn'tand et so far And now I can be useful to people because of it」

It was one of Senjiro's most wonderful traits, that even after he fell, he would be quick to recover and carry on

I also tried to contact Ligurila in the rasp on the leylines around here So I guess for now contacting her would be impossible

And since Vaas-senpai was nowhere to be seen either, I assuht in the Teleportation circle I tried to contact hion Network

It probably wasn't because so happened to Senpai It was probably because there were some connection issues

As if, our frequencies weren'tat all

That was the most probable case

Since I couldn't really help it, I created a pseudo-spirit and asked it to carry the news to both Ligurila and Kyle

I don't knohen it will

But it would probably take it a lot of time, since it would need to find the appropriate leyline, travel all the way to Ballow and then coht as well carry on fro for a reply

「First of all, we need to find soeneral location, but the exact location is still unknown」

「I agree Towa is quite different froes are et to one, we should be able to get a hold of our current position, so that's a start」

「Right, then I shall revert to ood idea to scout the area from above, since it would be easy to spot houses froan to think deeply when he heard that

「I think it's a good idea, but could you please try to stay as far away froht find as possible?」

「Well, I intended to do just that, but why?」

「Because I would like to avoid any of the Shrine Maidens noticing your true form」

Both Nectar and I looked at Senjiro in surprise

「Every village, no nificant, has at least one Guardian and one Shrine Maiden If they spot you in the sky, they are likely to presume you to be a monster or a demon Once that happens, your presence would be reported to the Taisha's branch office, and froo all the way to the main office」

「In other words, it ets exposed, the Taisha is going to know about it There's no avoiding that, right?」

To Nectar's words, Senjiro nodded his head

「In addition, Nectar-dono's appearance will also be quite noticeable There are normal humans here, but mostly they have black hair」

「Not to ht?」

「Precisely」

Well, shi+t

Even though Nectar could change the color of his hair no proble first, once we get into toe uise for Nectar But as for uise……」

I felt hopeless knowing that everyone else could possibly be able to do the same, but then Senjiro reassured ht The only people capable of seeing through Lavdono and Nectar-dono's disguises would be the people directly affiliated with the Taisha 」

However, I assume that shrine maidens hold ht, that settles it, then Shall we get a e Nectar and Senjiro cliround

Just like that, ere flying through the sky

But a few round

All because of the certain encounter that happened not so long ago, and which shook me to my very core

「Why, what the hell was that beast……!?」

「One of the creatures that are native to Towa, I'

A few h the sky

And what appeared right in front of us was a flying creature that had a body of the bat and a head of a pig

I asked Senjiro what that thing was, and he simply said that it was 'Hikomori'

After that he si its head fro to the ground

Starting with that, ere being attacked by flying monsters once every fiveattracted tosaid, a whole bunch of different ers, some of monkeys, there were also wolves and a whole lot of other creatures which were hard for me to describe

But ere suddenly assaulted by the flock of wild bird-hly five hundred, that was thea line

Needless to say, we didn't lose to them

And once we could see the silhouettes of the buildings in the distance, we decided to return to the ground, in order to avoid drawing too much attention towards us thanks to the round their options of attacking us were severely li in our favor

…… But seriously

While I was thinking that to myself, Senjiro's ears moved quickly and in the next h the air

When I take a look, I could see s withat the place froerocks at us

「Please, pay them no mind Those are merely children, hardly ever a threat They came to observe us mostly out of curiosity, so they shouldn't attack us for real」
