Chapter 326: Oh no, oh no!
And with that, the railway is complete. The commute to our village on the other side of the mountain range should take about an hour or so.
My body double had notified me that they had finished connecting the railway station here to the one in the village.
I quickly relayed that information to Masamine-san, the supervisor of this project.
I still cant imagine how this will take us all the to the western side.
Well, you might get it once you try it for yourself.
I asked the half-convinced Masamine-san to enter the train. We then departed for the wasteland village.
After an hour inside the shaking train
Were here.
The train stopped at the platform under the village.
Well then, welcome. Beyond those stairs is our village.
We climbed up those stairs and exited the station. Upon the sight of the village, Masamine-san almost fell down as he shouted.
What is this plaaaaaacceeeee!?
This is the village for which I am the village chief.
Village!? How is this place a village!? Isnt this a large city!? There are so many tall buildings I can barely see the sky!
You can see the other side of the monster-infested mountain range there. Considering the position of the sun, you can tell were on the eastern side now.
S-so, we really went through that mountain range in that short amount of time?
Oh no, oh no! Is this an attack from the people of the skies!?
Its an invasion!
The park landing on castle grounds quickly made a commotion.
I-is this really alright? They wont think were some kind of ayakashi again, will they?
I dont know whats going on, but if they seem like they want to talk, wed be alright. Wed be in trouble if they end up being monsters though.
You think we can also ride that thing? If we had a flying ground like that, travel would be easy.
Rather than traveling, Im more interested in whether it can be used for our trade routes.
Somehowsomehow things look ok, I guess?
Gai-san then proceeded to introduce himself and our group.
I am Gai, a monk from Hozo-ji temple of the nation of Kyou. And these people with me are travelers from the west.
What, a monk?
A monk from Kyou? Those guys got their priorities all mixed up. Abandoning their possessions as well as their old life, to then live off of on nothing but what is donated to them, I cant think of something more foolish.
Well, I heard there are some monk who only think of earning money though.
it would seem monks from Kyou are not well liked here
TL note: Hozo-ji temple is likely a reference to Honnoji temple.
