Chapter 496: Sakura harbor and road to the capital

So we arrived at Sakura, the country of harmony, and Sukuna Bikona was surrounded by boats.

"...Sojirou?"

"E, Everyone is just surprised and alarmed by the sudden appearance of a large ship! Please wait a moment"

Sojirou speaks to the ship.

"I am Sojirou, Samurai of Sakura!"

"Mu!? Sojirou! You are safe!"

"Yes! I was sent to Sakura by this ship! I also asked for food relief. Make way now! You'll have plenty of tasty rice to eat!"

W, What!?

The ships opened the way all at once...normally, we would not have been so welcomed by the suspicious people. The situation may be worse than expected.

We anchor at the harbor. We leave Sukuna Bikona with Noah and go ashore.

Where's the rice?

That's the first word.

"You're all being rude to our guests! Let me talk to the head of the party first"

Boo Boo and they grunt at me. I guess that's to be expected when you're starving. Then a girl came running out of breath.

"Haa...haa...So-chan!"Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

"Eh? Haru-chan!?"

Oh? They seem to be good friends. I don't know much about Okita Souji's story about women.

I do know that he fell in love with a doctor's daughter, but Isamu Kondo was against it and they never ended up together. The only other story I know is that he almost got himself killed when he rejected a woman.

"Why are you here...you must be in the capital"

"I can't just wait in the capital while So-chan goes to the beach!"

"...Haru-chan"

"...So-chan"

Aaah...what are you going to do? This? Do I have to ruin the air? Then I heard the sound of a cute little tummy bug.

"...Haru-chan?"

"I'm sorry...I haven't eaten anything for four days now"

"Isn't that a big problem!? Takuto, Takuto-dono!"

"I don't mind, but...are you sure?"

You're scaring the villagers, aren't you?

"Uh...I'm sure they haven't eaten as much as you have, so it can't be helped. I'll take responsibility, can you please?"

Oh well. Even the genius swordsman-sama has a weakness for women. So I treat everyone to rice and sashimi.

"Delicious!"

"I never knew rice could be so good after a four-day absence..."

"This soy sauce is the best I've ever tasted"

Who would eat rat meat! It makes me sick!

Next we met a fox with sunglasses and a shamisen, sitting cross-legged on a stone.

Mujina Lv15

Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active

Funny, but I don't have time to listen! Then Mujina plays the shamisen.

"I made a song about a school of 500 students. Listen. The Problem of Closing Schools"

I stop dead in my tracks. Because I'm curious! What happened in that school!?

But he only plays the shamisen and doesn't sing. Are you kidding me? This guy.

"I wrote a song about my current situation. Listen to it. It's called Desperate Situation with no Escape"

It knows exactly what I'm talking about. Darley's body slammed him to the ground.

When I dismantled him, he didn't drop his sunglasses or his shamisen. How the hell did he get out? This guy!

"He's a very strong man...So-chan"

"He seems to have a different mood when he rides a horse. Takuto-dono! We are almost at the capital!"

"I understand! Mu?"

Lightning strikes in front of me. And a monster appears.

Lightning Beast Lv27

Summon Monster Subjugation Target Active

It's a pre-evolution of Gale. This guy is going to have a hard time.

"Lightning Beast!? This close to the capital!? Takuto-dono!?"

"It is alright. It's going to be a bit of a showy battle, so it's better to stay away. You will be hit by lightning"

I pull out my Mumei. I know the weakness of lightning. Come here for real

"Gaaaa!"

The lightning beast rides on my provocation. It turns into lightning, circles around me and attacks. Left!

Mumei slashes through the lightning. The beast is cut in half.

"He...cut...the...lightning..."

"Amazing..."

Now, let's dismantle it.

Lightning-based Stone: Rarity 5, Material, Quality D

A stone that possesses the lightning attribute. It is used as a material for weapons and magic stones.

Lightning Beast Skin: Rarity 6, Material, Quality C

The skin of a lightning beast. The skin is resistant to electricity and does not suffer from the paralyzing effect of paralysis. Because it is light and strong, it is favored by various adventurers.

Umm! It is the pre-evolution of Gale. It doesn't disappoint me.

And then I saw the capital. There is a splendid castle in the castle town. As expected, the atmosphere is desolate, but I wonder if I can calm down for the time being.
