The sky was a deep darkness.

I can't see the moon or the stars.

The night in the Lost Lands is far darker than the world of the watch.

But in such a town wrapped in darkness, the fire is bright.

Bright torches and braziers radiate light and dispel darkness in stone houses and streets.

Even the tables are mostly flat slates.

People's seats, one stone bench after another.

This scene is like going back to a long, long time ago, the most primitive stage of human beings.

Rough and rustic.

But there are still traces of modern products, such as the tape recorder that plays music – it only needs two batteries to last for a long time, and some old songs are left in a leisurely way.

The clothes that people wear are also in the style of modern times.

It adds a bit of magic to this picture.

It's hard to tell which era you're in.

Kaneshiro looked around stunned, also surprised by this magical realism picture.

The ethereal "radio" voice just now came from a man with a big face, and his extraordinary ability was to spread the voice farther, which sounded a bit of a chicken ability.

But in some cases, it can play an important role.

"Aono-kun, let's take a seat too, shall we?"

Yoshihara Asa smiled at Aono Road.

Aono followed her instructions and sat down at the largest slate table.

This banquet was not deliberately held for him alone - Aono is a newcomer, where can he get such a big face?

Rather, it's a three-week routine in the small town that strengthens the cohesion of its residents.

In a place like the Lost Lands, there is always a need for a special sense of ritual to temper it.

Aono and Kaneshiro Taiichi just happened to meet.

Tachibana's way of expressing her apologies was simple, to treat the two of them well.

This is the largest open space in the town.

There are stone tables one after another.

The transcendents took their seats one after another, and some people brought large wooden barrels one after another and placed them next to the stone table.

Kaneshiro Taiichi looked puzzled.

Noticing his puzzled eyes, Yoshihara explained politely.

"That's the beer we brewed, and it tastes very good~"

"Beer?"

"Yes, in the Lost Lands, there is a special plant, similar to malt."

Yoshihara Assai was not surprised by Kaneshiro's doubts.

"People a long time ago mastered the way to brew beer from them, and it's been passed down ever since."

Most of the transcendents who come to the Lost Lands for the first time will be amazed at these things in the Lost Lands itself.

Whether it's the oil rabbit used to extract fuel, or this malt-like plant, it's something unique to the Lost Lands.

This world, which has existed for so long, has actually formed a unique culture.

People have their own way of life and special customs.

If anything, this place is like a peach blossom paradise belonging to the transcendent, which has become what it is now in the long evolution.

Of course, this is a world that ordinary people simply do not have access to.

These words refreshed the impression of the Lost Land in the hearts of Aono and Taiichi Kaneshiro.

In addition to the people who brought the barrels, some people brought trays of food.

The aroma is tangy, and the meat is overflowing.

There are grilled meat skewers, and there are large bowls of broth.

To Aono's surprise, the smell of rice was still in the air.

"Can you still grow rice here?"

Aono asked.

"That's not going to work, but we usually buy rice from the watch world and store it, and only feasts like this will be taken out and enjoyed."

"Usually it's enough for us to eat meat."

From those pieces of meat, Aono smelled a faint and indescribable aura.

I think it's a low-level creature in the Lost Lands that serves as food for people.

"Aono-kun must have never eaten our meat here, right?"

"That's the prey our hunting party just caught today!"

In such a town, the system has also returned to the period of people's villages, and a reasonable division of labor is extremely important.

Aono learned that the transcendents here were divided into three types: gathering teams, hunting teams, and logistics teams, accounting for about 90 percent, and the remaining twenty or thirty people belonged to the floating population, not only living in towns, but only temporarily, and when their gaze dissipated, they would return to the real world.

Yoshihara Asso's tone was a little proud.

"There aren't many creatures in the Lost Lands that can be used as food, and if some prey eats them, their bodies will be mutated."

The subtext of this sentence is that in the case of picking prey, bringing back so much loot, the strength of their hunting team is still very strong.

Taiichi Kaneshiro glanced at Yoshihara Asa strangely.

"That's because you didn't see him eat the Bone Eater Worm raw!"

Naturally, he didn't dare to say this.

After all the transcendents were almost seated, Tachibana Rei appeared in front of everyone.

The banquet was officially opened.

And without hesitation, he walked to Aono's side.

Clear eyes stared straight at him.

"Aono-kun, I apologize to you again for what happened this afternoon."

Then he bowed deeply.

The attitude was very on-point.

"But I'm sure we can be good friends."

She winked at Aono, not caring that he couldn't see it.

"So now, enjoy this feast with us!"

The banquet officially opened.

Laughter and laughter.

A lively atmosphere pervades the town.

Aono tasted the meat at the banquet, and the taste was unexpectedly delicious.

It is certain that it is the flesh and blood of a special creature, but it is more of a mutated animal than a strange one.

Rich in energy, in short, it is very full.

There is not much damage to the human body.

Obviously, not everyone is like Aono who "eats weird and cool batches raw", and the consequence of normal people doing so is likely to be deformed into some kind of unpredictable monster.

Aono also drank a little bit of beer - he didn't like to drink much himself, but he had to drink it because of his work, and he just wanted to taste it.

It is found to be very similar to regular beer, but the taste is a little sweeter and the stamina is greater.

At the same time, Aono admired the heroic gesture of Tachibana at the same table.

"Come again!"

"One more drink!"

"Tons and tons and tons of -"

"Aono-kun, why don't you drink it?"

This Japanese-Russian girl is not only like a god of war in battle, but also like a god of war in the wine field.

Leaning on Aono's side, "Kill the Quartet!" ”

This girl smells of tequila grass, but it smells pretty good.

The banquet lasted about two or three hours.

In the second half, there are also transcendents singing - it's better to say it's rapping, it's better to shout nonsense, who is louder!

Aono can't see it, and he also knows about it from Mika Kishida.

The feeling is quite novel, like appreciating the customs of a foreign country.

Kaneshiro Taiichi simply got drunk and fell to the ground, saying "Aba, Baba Aba" in his mouth, "Monster", "Don't eat me", "My meat is not delicious" and other drunken words - this day with Aono, he was under too much psychological pressure, and he needed to vent in this way.

In the end, the transcendents were drunk and had a great time.

When the banquet was almost over.

Tachibana, who doesn't know how much alcohol she has drunk, dragged Aono to the door of a house made of stones.

"You're going to stay here tonight!"

"Wait a minute! Hiccup—"

After she finished speaking, she gave a long wine burp and said with drunken eyes.

"What are you waiting for?"

Aono didn't understand the second half of her words, and Tachibana Li had already left, leaving him a little confused.

He began to wonder if he was drunk.

But Aono is the kind of person who doesn't get drunk no matter how much he drinks, but only becomes more sober.

What's more, he hadn't drunk much in the first place.

There should be no auditory hallucinations.

Walking into the room and making Mika Kishida look at it, one person and one ghost suddenly felt strange.

The stone house was poorly furnished, but unexpectedly there was a large bed, which seemed to be Simmons's kind - it was not easy to see such a thing in a lost place.

"Do you want me to live in such a nice place?"

Aono only thought that this was Tachibana's hospitality.

Sniff it carefully again, and the expression is strange.

There was a faint smell in the air, somewhat like agave, and it undoubtedly belonged to the woman who had just left with a burp.

Combined with some of the furnishings, the plush bed can only be enjoyed by the tallest of people.

Well, there's only one answer!

- This room itself is Tachibana's boudoir!

Then she said "wait a minute" to meant

About three or four minutes later, Tachibana's drunken words rang out at the stone gate.

"Aono-kun, I'm coming in."
