Story 59 Sacred Mountain Shinju
【Sacred Mountain Shinju】. It was a mountain that represented 【Dolkia continent】, a lush
green mountain located in the north of .
In the current season, the abundant green trees were turning red. And the scenery attracted a
lot of tourists to visit the mountain.
However, 【Sacred Mountain Shinju】 was originally designated as a dangerous place because
of a certain reason. And the reason was the existence of the things living in 【Sacred Mountain
Shinju】. “Fuh, I wonder if that thing really here, right, Jingo?”
Thick eyebrows and plump lips. Following that, having a good body build with height exceeding
That’s right, those words might made some thought it was a woman, but it was indeed a man
that said those words. With short, spiky hair, his forehead was exposed. However, somehow the
hair at the back of his head was long, creating a sense of incompatibility as it was tied with red
rubber. A man that could be said as unique.
“Humph, I hear you so don’t turn that sweaty face here! If the others see this they would
thought, ah they are getting along so well even though both of them are male, maybe they are in
The man called Jingo was backing away when the bulky man’s face drew near, his gesture was
completely showing his rejection. Jingo’s hair is black, but there’s some blue making it darkblue
He didn’t maintain his hair so it looked like an explosion. His appearance was perfectly like an
evil thug because his gaze seemed to glare at whoever he looked at.
Moreover, his height didn’t even reach 170 centimeters, so he really looked like a hoodlum
compared to the big bodied man.
“nmou, there’s no need to be that embarrassed. After all, we are linked by the red string of fate!”
“Linked your ass! Rather, this is just a job! And you are simply a partner in this job! So, don’t
come any closer! I’ll really leave you, you monster!”
“Ara! How can you! It’s cruel for you to call me a monster, Jingo! Even though I love you so
“Don’t say something that can be misunderstood! To begin with, we were only going to the
same dojo, nothing more than that!”
“Huff huff huff...,” Jingo was running out of breath after he grandly declared that, but the big
“How nostalgic...... I missed Jingo when you are still small. Aa, if only I eat you and make you
“Fufufu, just kidding. The inside of the mountain is rather dark, so I tried to playfully lightened it.”
Gakkuri, Jingo drooped his shoulders.
“Ah, but if Jingo said you want my chastity, then I............ will do my best!”
The thick face winked at Jingo which made him feeling premonition of death, thus he took even
“YYour joke doesn’t seem like a joke, so please stop, it scares me....”
“Oh my, what a useless child to say that. But I understand, I will take you to an inn after this job
is done and the two of us will....”
“Who’s going with you! I will absolutely go to another inn!”
“How awful! You are so cruel! At least say different room!”
However, Jingo indeed felt that his chastity was in crisis by being at the side of this big bodied
man, so it was natural for him to go to different inn than different room.
“Ahh, for the love of! Let’s quickly find the thing requested and return, Zenji!”
The big bodied man is Zenji. Being called by his name, Zenji raised his hand and happily said,
“Ye~s.” Jingo walked ahead and took out a paper from his pocket.
“Seriously, I wonder if that something egg really is in this creepy place.”
“Nn~ the commission said so. However, it had been confirmed by a trusty information dealer, so
it must be somewhere in this mountain.”
“A~a, I want to return quickly and dip in hot water.”
“Ara, that’s sound good. Then, I will wash Jingo’s back.”
“I will send you flying to the sky if you do that.”
When Jingo raised his voice, the two gasped as they noticed something.
“See~, they come out...... the inhabitants of this mountain.”
Jingo turned his gaze towards a direction, raising the corners of his mouth happily. There,
translucent, spherical objects were floating in the air.
“Zenji, don’t attack them. They are my preys!”
“Oh moi, a battle junkie as usual. Lovely!”
Jingo’s shout echoed inside the mountain.
After several hours passed, Souji’s group arrived at the foot of 【Sacred Mountain Shinju】. There, the female group were absentmindedly gazing at the superb scenery.
Spreading before them were a mountain where numerous trees had their leaves turned to either
red or yellow. It made Souji think that he wanted by all means to photograph such a scenery if
Tourists who were doing sketching could be seen everywhere. A lot of tourists were gathering to
see this scenery from the mountain foot.
Most of the tourists were people born from household with high social status, thus owning
exquisite, artistlike artistic sense.
Moreover, there were shops opened in this mountain foot, doing their best to attract customers
with specialties such as and .
Naturally, the mountain could be climbed, but no one could be seen trying that as far as Souji
could see. After all, here was the boundary of safety area. The mountain foot was a normal
place with little to no risk, but the danger increased drastically once one entered the mountain.
Thinking he would soon entering the mountain made Souji feels a little melancholic, but the
group has come here, so there’s no way he would stop Yoyo’s group of females from enjoying
“Well then, Souji, I am going to gather information here. So, you do whatever you want.”
Souji got permission for free activity from Yoyo. Yoyo herself was an information dealer, so she
gathered information of special products from various places which would be useful for business
“The others too, you can go around. There’s a lot of shops here.”
Ninthe and the others raised highspirited voices at Yoyo’s words. It was especially true for
Ninthe and Eu because it might be the first time they were seeing this autumn scenery while
sightseeing. Their faces were filled with excitement.
Kaina admonished Ninthe, who seemed to almost knocked against someone, and Ninthe stuck
out her tongue with, “Oopsie~.” It was indeed very cute, but just as Kaina said, Souji also
wanted her not to be too excited. He didn’t want her to be a lost child.
Eu was pulling her mother’s hand as she looked at the shops with sparkling eyes. For Eu, she
was more interested in the shops than the autumn leaves. She was a child so it was something
“Then, Ojousama, I am going to enter the mountain along with Femmesan and Testarossa-
“Certainly. Ojousama too, never let that necklace go.”
Before her chest was the tag of the necklace. It was something endowed with Souji’s magic so
that he can perceive Yoyo’s crisis. Moreover, it was a truly convenient item as Souji will be able
to instantly teleport to the place where yellow crest carved on the necklace is.
Souji separated from Yoyo, walking towards Kaina’s side.
“Mother, I hope you are not cut too much loose. Especially, I prohibit mother from things like
“MMy~, Souji. I am someone like a leading teacher here, you know? A teacher would not do
something stupid like drinking in the middle of work, you know~”
What Souji thought couldn’t be mistaken. After all, her action was obviously suspicious.
Moreover, she seemed to have forgotten that she demanded alcohol on the way here.
Although he unconsciously leaked a sigh, Souji looked away from it because he also had things
“Let’s go, Femmesan, Testarossasan.”
Thus, he entered 【Sacred Mountain Shinju】 accompanied by the two.
