Chapter 8: The World of Common Sense Is Collapsing

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Youji has tried to understand the world he is in. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, it was fine when he hadn't explored before, but after getting to know a little bit more, he felt that his SAN value was dropping rapidly.

"Ghosts, a lot, and youkai."

It's not just a mother, it's not like a certain Warring States banana has a bunch of world special effects.

Speaking of which, although some characters have subtly become women, the human beings in this world are undoubtedly still basically following common sense - no matter how superb the martial arts are, they can't get angry or something. There are rumors of spells and the like, but few people have seen them.

However, it may not be entirely a good thing for the people here.

Although it is not so much that the difference in force creates another privileged class different from power. However, in this world, humans who need to face ghosts and gods are more dangerous than the world in which Youji lived before.

-- Even if an ordinary soldier rushes up in one hundred, he may not be able to defeat a single demon. And even if it is a long-trained swordsman and onmyoji, it is difficult to challenge those things without gathering more than a dozen people.

Here, quality transcends quantity.

'It's like a barrier...

Youji instinctively wondered about this kind of thing.

After all, in the history he knew, such a thing was not so much non-existent as it could not exist.

Otherwise, a lot of things won't make sense...

But in this world, whether it's a ghost or a youkai, it's a big deal.

Moreover, in addition to this, the history of this world is also very strange - the timeline, although the general events are correct, but many people are either born early or die early.

-- This is undoubtedly unscientific.

'It's magical'

However, it is not time to think about that kind of thing and worry about what kind of world you have come in.

In front of Youji, the first problem that needs to be solved is another one.

That is, the question of how to get rid of the 'ghost'.

"It's not easy...

Before,Masamune Lori explained the information,Let's provide some ghost information.。

To sum it up: great terrifying power, hard and unexpected skin, and some weird abilities.

The first one is easy to say, because no matter how high the attack power is, it doesn't make sense to hit someone. But the second and third are a bit of a hassle.

I'm confident in my time stop, but I've solved the problem of hit rate, dodge rate, and heart hit. The basic attack power is still a hard wound.

Well, in fact, this point can barely be ignored, because Masamune Lori also has a guarantee, saying that she will send a good knife as soon as possible. And even if you don't have a good knife, you can directly attack the opponent's eyes.

But what about the third point?

What kind of weird abilities ghosts will have, no one can say.

It's nice to say if it's just starting a fire, rainfall, or manipulating the air, but what if it's even more excessive?

"Now, I won't care about a watermelon popping up, hey!"

I guess it's miserable.

In particular, it cannot be ruled out that the ghost will leave a curse or something after death.

'After all, my materialistic values, which I am not firmly in, have been almost broken by the world...

"Ahh

I can't think of a good way.

So Youji could only continue to sit under the porch, looking at the sky and sighing.

"I don't think I'm going to lose, but I'm a little uneasy."

At this time, the disadvantage that the opponent is not a human being is fully reflected.

Because I don't understand, I will keep doubts, and because I doubt, I will be more vigilant, and because I am more vigilant, I will naturally get nervous.

It has nothing to do with whether or not you can win.

"Your Excellency?"

Seeing the expression of the monster, Maiori asked a little hesitantly.

"Are you... alright?"

No wonder she asked. Because of this kind of thoughtful expression, Maiori saw it for the first time from the face of the monster. In the past, no matter how bad the state was, the monster was indifferent.

――However, Maiori takes it for granted.

After all, the enemy that the soul demon is facing this time is not a crappy bandit, a samurai, or a villager, but a veritable ghost.

Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, there are people who have fled from other villages in the small village where Maiori lives.

They are the ones who have had their homes destroyed by demons, and they are also the ones who have witnessed the power of demons.

And the ghosts they depicted in their mouths were not something that humans could compete with.

'My lord, can you win?'

She didn't know.

But if she could, she hoped that it would be better for the monster not to go.

"Huh?・・Ahhh

Youji noticed the wavering on Maiori's face.

With a big smile, he put a hand on Maiori's head and said comforting words without hesitation.

"It's just a ghost, it's a bit of a hassle, but it's nothing to me, right?"

Probably ... Honestly, right?

Maiori couldn't tell the difference, but after staring at the smiling face of the demon for a long time, she didn't find any hidden worries or wavering. She decided to believe it anyway.

After all, it was an order from Lord Date, and she was only a jealous maid, and she had neither the right to make suggestions nor the right to feel at ease.

All she could do was wait for the results.

“・・・・・・”

"Hmm, what's wrong, the expression is worse..."

As a result, because I was not good at presentation, my mood was directly expressed on my face.

By the time I realized that I was rude and wanted to cover it up, it was too late.

Youji had already walked over, and then crouched down worriedly.

"Sorry for worrying you?"

"No, what, my lord, please don't say that! It's—"

“・・・・・・”

The difference between modern and ancient people is especially evident at such times.

The concept of respect and inferiority, which has long been engraved in the bones, is not always useful.

“・・・・・・”

“・・・・・・”

The two of them didn't know what to say for a while.

And in the midst of this, Youji really doesn't know what to say, and Maiori...

"Forget it..."

In the end, Youji had no choice but to give up.

After all, he is the anomaly and the wrong for the world.

In this era of low level of knowledge and therefore unquestionable authority, he did not have the idea and confidence to promote the concept of human rights.

That's not just difficult, it's also out of place.

"Well, I'll go get ready for lunch..."

Standing up, Youji turned around and went back to the house.

Maiori, on the other hand, didn't get up until Youji walked into the room and began to prepare for lunch.

The staple food is rice, and the dish is fish.

Because of the lack of seasonings in this era, it was impossible to make either fried fish or heavy flavors. Therefore, even if you eat it many times, it is impossible to update the dish, and there will only be a clear soup.

To be honest, youji is already a little tired.

But considering that most of the other foods are not as good as fish soup...

You can only endure it, right?

"So—"

Maiori rolled up her sleeves and began to clean the belly of the fish.

At this time, the monster has begun to sort out his equipment.

"Hmm..."

As for weapons, there is still only a fighting knife and a rib difference. However, considering that the opponent is a ghost, it may be better to have something else on hand.

"Maybe this thing will come in handy?"

The first alternative is quicklime.

Wrapping it in cloth or paper, as long as the opponent is a creature and has eyes, it will definitely be effective - it reacts with the liquid in the eye, and the high heat emitted by quicklime can destroy the opponent's eye in a very short time. At the same time, the pain can also cause most creatures to lose their combat effectiveness instantly.

However, it seems to be discrediting.

Since it seems that he is going to take the route of the sword master in this world, it is better not to do this kind of shameful thing, and if it is promoted, even if he stops sometimes, it is a little troublesome.

You can only give up.

"And then this?"

The second option is hemp rope.

"Wait, what am I doing with this?"

Is it used to tie people up when the time is down? I don't think there's enough time, right? And it's not clear if it's strong enough.

So I gave up.

And then there is...

"Hmm..."

Do you want to bring an axe?

I've thought about the idea of inflicting a fatal blow by directly attacking the cerebral marrow with the eyeballs, but what if it doesn't go well? What if the body structure of the ghost thing is fundamentally different from that of a human, and the eyes are not a weak point?

'It's always a bit embarrassing'

So give up.

“・・・・・・”

But that's it.

Youji suddenly found that he couldn't bring any equipment.

"Well, then don't bring anything."

After thinking about it, I could only smile in the end.

Just wait quietly and wait for the arrival of the sword promised by Masamune Lori. And after that, go to the ghost, cut it down if it can win, retreat if it can't win, and then think about it in the long run—just do it.

But before that, there's one more thing that needs to be done.

"I'll have to go to the village chief and ask what's going on with that rumor."

Youji doesn't remember how often the village communicates with the outside world, or how much he claims to be the village's protector, or anything else.

So why, is there a reputation for sword heroes?

It seems that there are not so many answers to choose from.

And in this village, there should be only one person who is qualified or dares to do this.

Probably thinking that whether it was defeated by the attracted swordsman, the recruitment of officials, or something else. Anyway, I can let the boy who lives outside the village leave, and either way it won't cause damage to the village. Feel that no matter what, you are in an undefeated situation.

Then there is no need to worry about retaliation.

Yes, because either you will lose your life, or you will gain glory and wealth.

Naturally, there is no reason to be retaliated against.

But the monster doesn't think so.

"I hate trouble, but what I hate more is being decided..."

Youji had already made up his mind, and after lunch, he went to talk to the village chief.

Well, because it's an old man, it's still free to be beaten.

It would be enough for him to pay a sufficient amount of money.

……………… A certain snake ..................

Yesterday the old decay went to the border, so it was not updated.

Ah, it's really cold. The vehicle was skidding very badly, and the dragon's mouth on the ice was a little too dangerous...... Don't do that, I can't take it anymore 233

……

Well, the point is one more thing.

Lingling's product was actually updated yesterday! And it's still the "main article", am I dazzled!

Could it be that after the old man came back from the border line, something happened to the world line!!
