216. East, Hwaguk (4)
“It was a sword that I couldn’t escape even if I opened my eyes.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Puhyuk, actually Happo had his eyes open.”
Hino covers her mouth with her sleeve and smiles lightly.
Now that the conversation is all over, she was calling me privately to talk.
“The Paradise Exile. That’s what they’re called in the East.”
Hino speaks first.
Also, she knew about me.
By the way, an outcast…
“…That doesn’t sound very good.”
“In reality, it is probably used with a similar meaning. There are rumors that it could have been a freshman, but failed in the fabled deungseon.”
“hahahaha, it’s a freshman…”
As Surui mentioned, the person who built the Cheonseonhakkan said that he was a Shinseon called Cheonseon, so did Shinseon really exist?
“I think there are negative reactions because there are cases where the gods worshiped in the East and West are different. In fact, I think the roots are the same… But anyway, I was rude at the thought of meeting a celebrity. You have to enjoy the trip. But did I get in the way?”
“It’s not like that. It’s because he’s a man who can’t rest comfortably leaving a woman suffering from troubles alone.”
“Hey, I’m worried… I don’t think it’s easy to find out even if you can see the face…”
“Would you believe me if I said that you could hear worry and worry in your voice?”
“…Let’s believe it. It’s true that we have concerns.”
“Is Shinsu the problem?”
“It’s not something I’m going to share with outsiders… Yes, that’s right. The divine beasts who used to protect the country are now being treated as monsters with the obsession of disturbing the country.”
“I don’t have much knowledge, but you seem to be having trouble locating the divine beasts. Is there a device or something that can locate them?”
“A long time ago, I heard that there were such items before the Shinsoo entered the barrier of the country of fire. But she was no longer needed after the shaman began to control them… I do not know the whereabouts of the item at this time. Doesn’t exist.”
A radar capable of detecting Shinsoo.
It actually exists.
I know where it is.
It’s tricky, but if you can save that item, it will be much easier to retrieve the Shinsu than it is now.
“I can feel Miho’s fear and resentment even here.”
Standing on top of the hill, Hino looked down at the village that was in a sea of fire and shook her head in pity.
“Cadet Jetto. No, may I call you Jetto?”
“You can call me as you like.”
“Zetto, can you believe that all of this happened after the previous priestess was assassinated?”
“…”
“My predecessors often told me that a shaman in a country of fire was like gunpowder. Even the slightest spark would quickly explode. So she told me that I should control my emotions well. I can’t help it. How resentful and painful you must have been… I wonder if the priests are so angry.”
“As Miko-nim followed and cared for Miko-nim in the past, I think the divine beasts did the same. Maybe she had a deeper relationship than Miko-nim.”
“Miho liked to play tricks in front of people. He would startle people who came to the shrine, steal food and run away… Miho who did that…”
Hino closed her eyes as she looked down at the panoramic view of the village that had been horribly burned by Miho.
“Thank you again. I heard there were no casualties thanks to the help of the academy party. Thank you very much for helping Miho not take away the children, parents, and friends of the people.”
“As the instructor said before… We just did what we had to do.”
“…Can you forgive Happo’s rudeness even by looking at me? Originally, I should have been able to control it well, but it seems that even the leaders haven’t acknowledged it yet.”
“Why?”
“It’s a half-shaven shaman who hasn’t even gone through a succession ceremony. They say that. To go through a succession ceremony, you need four Shinsoo belonging to a limited class.”
“Miho must be one of them.”
“Yes, but I don’t have any of them. So even a half-shaman isn’t wrong.”
“Don’t worry too much. You will be able to have a succession ceremony not too far away. Definitely.”
She looked at her and gave her a glimpse of her confident smile.
In fact, it is a problem that can be solved quickly if there is only that ‘radar’.
Can you see the succession ceremony?
“Jetto… His smile is so beautiful.”
Hino’s red eyes clearly engraved my smile.
“hahahaha, this is a story I hear often.”
“It would have been better if I hadn’t said that.”
“”……””
Soon after, Hino and I giggled at the same time, holding back our laughter until finally bursting into laughter.
Her mental strength was also very important in order to safely retrieve her divine beasts, so her current actions were also meaningful.
I broke up with Hino after talking a little about my feelings, which people who are new to me are usually curious about.
If you find the item, you will be able to meet again.
After coming down from the hill and returning to where the cadets and instructors were, I was able to hear an explanation of the schedule.
As the situation in China is like this, it was decided to help as much as possible if a Shinsoo appeared at any time during the trip. It seems that the instructors had a meeting, but it was the same flow as the game I knew so far.
There was nothing to do during the day, and I moved at the time when the sun had set and everyone was asleep.
***
In a dark forest where the moonlight subsided, there were three women.
“Are you sure Jetto went this way? Give that one.”
The frustrated Yuri snatched the telescope Kaen was holding and looked at a group of people wearing robes at the end.
“Your gait is slow…”
Yuri muttered, and Kaen opened her mouth again, snatching her telescope away from her.
“Please don’t be selfish. Keep in mind that only I know the extent of his feelings. Everyone knows that there’s nothing good in being caught following him, right?”
“…So where is Zeto going?”
“Okay.”
Eisel, who hadn’t taken her eyes off Zeto, who appeared to be a dot in the distance, replied in a sullen voice.
“I’m pretty sure he’s up to something. He’s with some weird-looking guys.”
“I don’t know where I’m going because I don’t know the way.”
“You know the way, but you don’t know. You.”
“Shut up, Eisel.”
“Are you trying to catch demons?”
“It wouldn’t be strange for Zeto to do something like that…”
“I told you to buy yourself like that. It’s completely arbitrary.”
“Yuri, they probably didn’t listen when you said it.”
“Then why don’t Eisel go and tell Jetto now? Don’t do anything dangerous and come back to your inn.”
“Hey, can you stop fighting? If you keep doing that, I might run forward and fall within the range of feeling.”
“”……””
Yuri and Eisel, who glared at each other at Kaen’s threat, become quiet.
“I don’t really like being with you either. It’s okay to come alone. But the reason I asked to come with you is because there could be a situation that I’m unable to prevent by myself.”
“Ha, what did you say? I heard you were caught trying to go alone.”
“Didn’t we all have the same idea in the first place? I thought Zeto was going to meet the shaman too.
“Should I say it’s good news… Anyway, I’ll try to catch up just enough to not get noticed.”
“It doesn’t matter when it’s dangerous, right?”
“”……””
As Yuri asked, Kaen and Eisel looked at each other alternately.
The three women had the same idea.
They were thinking that it was me who would save Zeto.
Of course, my curiosity was even greater.
It was a question about what Jeto was doing when he secretly left the dormitory in the middle of the night.
At the time the three women were chasing Jeto like that, even though they wondered if he would be in danger, but in their hearts they hoped he wouldn’t be in danger.
On the other hand, Jeto had doubts when he saw that the emotions of the three women in the relationship diagram were the same.
‘All three have doubts and expectations…’
He was the one who scattered the spirits, wondering if they were following him, but the spirits were only touched by his party.
Soon after, one of these, who was walking with him, looked at him and asked.
“But who brought this blind man?”
“The person in charge of maritime affairs suddenly got caught in a dive. So I brought this guy next to me.”
“…Do you know how to undo?”
“I have pretty good ears.”
To the sarcasm that followed, Jetto smiled and replied.
“You can’t just have a good ear! Do you know where we’re going to rob?”
“I’m going to dig the tomb of the great ninja Hanzo. You have to shout so loud that you’re taking on the challenge for the first time, right?”

The woman who brought me shrugged her shoulders.
“Is there any problem? I’ll guarantee him. He’s so handsome, but can’t pick a lock? The guy I hired ran away because he didn’t have the confidence to solve it.”
“You can get other things besides locks.”
“My heart?”
“Ha ha…”
Jetto tried to smile at the woman who was teasing him. He came in between them using some kind of beauty trick, so he had to please her even if he didn’t want to.
“Damn it, there’s no such thing as normal…”
“Tomb robbers who are stained with greed and dig up other people’s graves can’t be normal…”
“…Noisy!”
In the tomb of Hanzo, the great ninja that can be said to be the beginning of the ninja, their destination, a device that can find out the location of the Shinsoo was also buried.
After entering the cave, they face a huge door.
There was not a single sentry there.
That doesn’t mean the road to the cave was difficult, though.
The name of the owner of the tomb, Hanzo, was even written on Hanzo’s tomb, as if provoking him to come in.
Earlier, many grave robbers tried to find Hanzo’s tomb, but were blocked by this huge door and could not enter.
“It’s my turn.”
At that time, Jeto stepped out.
Approaching the door, he puts his ear to the door and turns a device like a dial embedded in the door.
“As expected, going back now and bringing a decent seaman…”
“Can you be quiet for a moment? I can’t hear you very well.”
Fortunately, Jeto knew the password to the door blocking the tomb.
‘If this door is opened anyway, these grave robbers will die soon.’
Zetto was contemplating whether or not he should just watch the grave robber die.
In fact, Hanzo’s tomb was not a safe full of gold and silver treasures.
Hanzo’s Tomb was a kind of dungeon.
