The boy and Idala entered a blue-and-red wooden house with a domed roof. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are no furnishings in the house, and there is no decoration other than the necessary living utensils.

This architectural style boy feels a little familiar, combined with what the boy saw and heard just now, this should be the Ezo tribe that has been rumored to be extinct by the outside world.

"Excuse me...... Is this the Ezo tribe? The boy asked, sitting upright on the ground.

As soon as these words were spoken, Mira instantly became nervous.

Idara patted her daughter on the back and told her to relax.

Then, Idara said to the boy solemnly, "It's true that this is the Ezo tribe, but if you're looking for the Ezo tribe, whose people are all short, ugly, and savage, you're looking for the wrong one. ”

The teenager, who realized that he had made a mistake, immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry! Mr. Idara! I don't know it's offensive here......"

Idara looked at the boy and sighed, "It's not your fault, the years of war and turmoil have exhausted the Ezo tribe, and any unstable factors from the outside world will be closely monitored." In fact, you are also counted in this unstable factor......"

Idara walked to the window, and the cool wind blew on his chubby face, softening the seriousness a little.

"Xun-kun, you should know the rumors of the Ezo clan in the outside world." Idara sat back down and said to the boy.

[Rumors from the outside world? If it's Ezo, the boy knows a little bit about it, but it's all negative.

Ugly, hairy, dwarf people, savage, uncivilized people.

To the outside world, Ezo is even a derogatory term with insults, and the Ezo tribe, an ancient tribe, seems to have quietly disappeared in the constant war years ago......

Some people say that the Ezo tribe perished. But the boy saw with his own eyes today the real Ezo people, a very different Ezo people from the rumors.

But these words, the boy did not dare to say.

Idara looked at the boy and sighed, "I know what you're thinking, after years of exposure from the outside world, it's impossible to suddenly change your opinion of the Ezo clan. ”

"But these are slanders! We Ezo are one of the most brave and warlike tribes in ancient times! Why is it falling to this point now! ”

Idara slammed her fist on the ground and roared in anger.

Mira, who was on the side, immediately came over to support her father: "Dad, calm down!" It's none of Big Brother's business! ”

Idara, who was a little calmer, coughed silently and dryly: "Ahem...... It's rude. ”

[Are all Ezo people monsters!? 】

The young man looked at the fist mark on the ground that had been dented, and was a little embarrassed.

"One thing that the rumors from the outside world say is true, we Ezo people have indeed reached a critical moment of survival......" Idara said with some sadness as she touched her chin and mustache.

"Because of the war of that year, the population of our Ezo tribe has plummeted, so we have to live in seclusion in this forest...... He has always lived a self-sufficient life in the forest. I was supposed to live like this forever, but ......"

Idara hung her head weakly: "More than ten days ago, a large number of hungry ghosts suddenly appeared in the forest, the number should be about three or four hundred, such a huge number is difficult to resist with the number of our current clan, so all the crops and seeds were devoured by the hungry ghosts, fortunately there were no casualties......"

Indeed, when the boy first observed the village, he also noticed that no one was farming.

[A large number of hungry ghosts suddenly appeared......]

The young man pondered: [More than ten days ago...... It should have been the day I set off. Speaking of which, the frequency of youkai haunts recently is indeed a bit abnormal......! 】

A flash of lightning flashed through the boy's mind!

[Is it a bloody battle between humans and ghosts......! 】

"Smoke-kun?"

In front of the young man's eyes, a hand was constantly shaking.

"Smoke-kun? You okay? Idala's hand shook in front of the boy's eyes, trying to bring him back to his senses.

The boy smiled awkwardly, "It's okay...... It's so rude. ”

Although the boy's train of thought was interrupted by Idara's interruption, there was one thing that the boy was very clear.

[The journey is going to speed up......]

"Mr. Idala, I must hurry up, if it goes on like this......" the boy said to Idala gravely, he could not wait any longer.

The boy must speed up his journey immediately, or it will be too late.

Idara was not surprised by the boy's reaction: "Sure enough...... Do you have to insist on moving forward? ”

"Actually, the village has already started to discuss this issue...... Idara decided to tell the boy about this thing that only the villagers knew.

"The idea of [drawing out the Annihilation of the Hungry Ghost Swarm]...... An extremely bold idea, because the current combat power of the remaining guards in the village is obviously not enough to annihilate the hungry ghost group. It is impossible to annihilate them one by one, there are too many of them. But if we sit idly by, we're likely to be consumed ......."

The boy asked aloud, "Now that Miss Mira has picked the seeds of the crop, can't she get through this?" ”

Idara took out Mira's two small cloth bags and said with a wry smile: "Xunjun, come and take a look......

The seeds in the two small cloth bags were knocked down by Idara, and the boy was surprised to find that more than half of the seeds were damp.

"Accepted...... Wet!? The boy was stunned, wasn't it still intact when Mira checked it just now!

"I didn't notice when I ran away and fell into a puddle...... The later inspection was only a cursory look. Didn't expect ......"

The words were as thin as the sound of mosquitoes, and Mira sat down on the ground and buried her head in her knees.

Although he couldn't see Mira's face, the boy knew that Mira must be in pain right now.

Idara looked at the boy with a complicated expression.

"That's pretty much it...... These seeds alone are not enough to survive the winter. As a result, we still have to discuss whether the [Annihilation War] should be carried out......" Idara sighed.

"The idea was the one I came up with in the first place, and the casualties and losses caused by this plan...... I'll take it all on. ”

The lives of all the Ezo tribes were all gambled on this plan. If it fails, Idara will bear the responsibility for the time being, and the Ezo will definitely perish.

"But instead of sitting still, let's give it a last shot! This is the spirit of the Ezo people that has been passed down from ancient times to the present day! We must fight to the last moment to protect our homeland! Drain the last drop of blood! Idara shouted at the boy with an excited expression.

"I'll help." The boy laughed.

Idara's excited expression instantly turned to consternation

"Mr. Idara, although I'm only a small samurai, I'm sure I'll do my part!" The boy said seriously.

"You're really ...... It's none of your business this trip to the troubled waters......" Idara sighed heavily, knelt down at the boy and said, "Thank you, Smoke-kun for your help......"

The boy was frightened by Idala's kneeling, and he and Mira on the side helped up Idala who was kneeling.

"Grandpa Idala...... This is my duty as a samurai. The boy said to Idara.

Looking at the resolute face of the young man, Idara sighed silently in her heart: [If all the samurai in the world are as upright as this young samurai......]

Suddenly, a child pushed open the door of Idala's house.

"Lord Idara! The patriarch has something to announce! Please hurry up! ”

Idara was silent for a moment, then finally got up and walked out the door.

"This is the final discussion. If we agree this time, the war of annihilation will be carried out. ”

Idara said to the boy, "Smoke-kun, do you want to go together?" ”

"I can't ask for it." The boy laughed.
