Bridget’s steer and crew are working well, the ship also seems to be safe from the great storm.
The weather had recovered rapidly after I was hit by the uneasy feeling a while ago.
From the fact of warp and storm, this country can somehow interrupt magic from the outside.
「Oops, isn’t it too close? Japoneru came into view already」
Hearing that, I take a look at what Bridget points.
Certainly, it’s an island, the shore can be seen from a distance.
「Is that land really Japoneru?」
「What do you think of me? There’s no other island in here. That’s the genuine Japoneru」
It seems we’ve arrived at Japoneru.
The ship doesn’t go to the harbor as it’s a smuggler, we anchored at the shore near coast.
It’s lucky to think that we entered the country safely after getting through that rough sea.
「We did arrive at Japoneru but, what will we do here?」
「Bridget should standby here so we can set sail anytime」
「Okay. I’m the caretaker of the ship after all」
I tried it at Forza Command but it was impossible to warp inside Japoneru’s territory directly.
Then, there’s a possibility of being unable to escape using warp inside this country.
Also, I think there should be no problems but insurance makes me feel relieved.
「Then, I’m going to take the treasure of the shrine maiden」
Anchoring to the open sea, I, Aisha, Eunice, Melia, and Leona went from the pirate ship to a small boat to reach the land.
「We’re finally here」
Just like as Aisha said, I also felt we made a bit of detour.
The sound of waves hammering the sandy beach has gradually became loud.
We advanced for a little while, the boat’s base had reached the sand and shook a little.
We finally landed to Japoneru.
「Now then, we need information about this country. We should try looking for a village or a town」
「Master. I saw it from the ship, there’s something like a harbor from the other side. Should we go there?」
「Yeah. We’re likely to get information from there. Let’s go there」
We safely arrived at Japoneru, let’s aim for people for the time being.
「Onii-chan. I’ve never seen it but what’s that?」
Walking with the aim to arrive at the harbor, Eunice asked me about the stone guidepost put along the highway.
「It’s a guidepost. You should’ve seen this much at least」
「Is that so? But I’ve never seen such a design on a stone before」
「Then, it’s something that’s only at Japoneru」
Speaking of, I’ve never seen stonework after coming to this world.
I’ve seen it from my world originally but the guidepost has hand-carved characters that I’ve not seen.
It feels like Japan around the Edo Period.
It’s natural for Eunice to not see this before.
Japoneru is a country with a peculiar culture growing in it.
「We should know the details when we arrived. Let’s go」
「Is this a port town? It’s filled with unfamiliar buildings」
I guess they’re curious about me walking with women.
People around looks at me.
…Doesn’t matter.
Information is essential right here right now.
「I want to ask you about the shrine maiden」
I asked the woman close to me
Since using charm cheat is troublesome, just answer immediately.
「If it’s the shrine maiden, she lives at the top of the mountain which is visible from the other side」
「Is her residence at the top of the mountain?」
「Yes. Shrine maiden-sama is located at the shinto shrine」
It seems that the shrine maiden is located at the shinto shrine.
「Thanks for the information」
When I got away, the woman showed a pretense that seems to arrive, I ignored it and continued. 1
Just like that, I might embrace her and make her cry after all. 2
Oh well, I now know where’s the shrine maiden’s location.
Let’s go there immediately.
Just what kind of woman is the shrine maiden?…
