565 Episode 524 The Hidden Village

When I opened the gate, there was still no sign of people as imagined.

It's only natural that I can't get in and out of the gate where the vines are entangled, but I feel a little sorry for it.

"Is there a lot of people in the hidden village?

When I followed Mr. Ginal's gaze, there was a house lined up.

There are 24 on the right side and 26 on the left side of the road that leads from the gate.

"Are there more than 100 people?

The size of the houses lined up makes me feel great when I live alone.

Could it be a couple and kids?

Well, I can't tell you without checking inside the house.

"I don't know just the size of the house, but there could have been more than 100 people.But that's quite unusual. "

"Unusual?"

"Ah, it's a hidden village.Let's take a look in the back. "

If Mr Ginal leans his neck on his words, I'll follow you.

It's a hidden village, so it's unusual to have a lot of people?

"Oh, there's a house over there too."

Between the house and the house, about seven small houses could be found.

I see. There are lots of houses in hidden villages. "

"Was this village hidden on this scale?

Ginal and Fischer tilt their heads.

It still seems like I'm worried about a lot of people, but why?

"What is the average number of people in a hidden village?

I thought a little about my question, Mr. Fischer.

"Ten in a small place, 50 in a big place. It's impossible because it's hard to hide when it's 100."

Oh, that's right.

The more people gather, the more food they need.

If it becomes difficult to make up for it in the village alone, we need to get it from the outside.

If that happens, you won't be able to hide.

Is that it?

Look around with your gaze up.

I saw the cliff I had just seen.

"The number of houses you see from there doesn't match the number of houses actually in front of you, right?

"Yes, there were fewer, wasn't there?

Nod at Mr. Ginal's words.

Looking from the top of the cliff, the number of houses looked less than half what it is now.

"It's probably magic."

Turn your attention to Mr. Ginal's words.

Phantom?

Phantom!?

"By the time you got here, didn't you feel like you were going through something?

"Yes, it's like I went through an invisible wall."

In my words, Mr. Ginal strokes his head.

And I was a little surprised to see Mr. Ginal, and I noticed that he was laughing fun.

Well, you have a good grasp of your surroundings.

No, I think you'll notice if it's that clear.

"Many people don't notice."

Oh, is that so?

Why are you so uncomfortable?

"That's the magical boundary of illusion.Perhaps he was completely invisible with magic.Over time, magic broke out, and I think I showed myself a little bit.

Mr. Fischer and his father nodded at Mr. Ginal's words.

But that look is pretty steep.

It's hard to hide the whole village.

Besides, this village isn't that small.

"Can anyone use phantom magic?

The ginals shook their heads at my words.

"Probably using a magic item.But I've never seen a magic item like this that can cast a massive magic phantom. "

"That's a church."

When I turned to my father's words, I saw the largest building in the village.

Nearby, I feel like I can't say anything.

Speaking of which, has it been since I was five years old to approach the church?

Sometimes I passed by.

Is the building better built than the houses around it, or is it the least collapsed?

Still, some time has passed.

The windows are broken and the right side of both doors is tilted and is about to fall.

Is that it?

I don't know, I feel uncomfortable.

Stay staring at the church door.

Something... missing?

"No flowers drawn."

"Ah, yes, flowers!

I noticed something in my father's words that I felt was missing.

The same flower is depicted on the door of every association, but not on the door of the church now before us.

"It's true. That's funny."

Mr Fischer nods at Mr Ginal's words.

Look at it and tilt your neck.

"What does flower mean?

"Do you know The Tale of the Church's Beginning?

Shake your neck against Mr Ginal's words.

I see. Once upon a time, heavy rain struck a city.The heavy rain left much to eat, and many people were hungry.A man of nobility who was in the city bought food from other towns and villages for his personal gain and distributed it to the people of the city.Many people died, but many survived because of men.The man was admired by the people, but a year after the heavy rain, the man dies of illness.The people of the town mourned the death of the man and buried him in a hill overlooking the town.The day after the burial, white flowers bloomed around the man's tomb, and petals danced through the town on the wind.People built a building to worship men near where they buried them, praying that peace would continue in the city. "That's what the church says.

This is the first time you've heard of it.

"The flowers that bloomed at that time were drawn on the door."

"Ah, the doors and walls inside the church are painted."

I remember the church I saw from afar in the words of Mr Ginal.

It was a long shot, but I did see flowers.

It's just too far to remember what kind of flower it was.

Is that it?

Don't you think it's enough not to remember those flowers?

But you did think it was a flower, didn't you?

... yes, there are flower paintings on the doors of various churches... haven't you ever seen them?

I don't have it.

I keep away from the church, but I can't see it.

What's going on here?

Remember the last life?

I feel something different.

Would you like to come in?

What?

I heard Mr. Ginal's voice, so when I turned my eyes, I opened the tilted door.

"Can't you break it?

Mr Fischer looks at the building and looks worried.

"You'll be fine. I'm holding on tight."

Mr. Ginal punches the church wall.

Sure, it looks solid for time.

"What do we do?

Well, don't worry about it.

Mr Fischer puts his shoulders on Mr Ginal's words.

My father seemed interested and looked inside through the open door.

"Pupupupupu ~"

When the three of them were talking in front of the door, Sola went through the neighborhood with a song.

Ah, first.

"What, Sola? Beyond."

Terururururu ~

Pefu

Following Sola, Flem and Sol enter the church.

I'll drop it off in a bit of a hurry, Dads.

"Haha. You're past the point."

Dinal laughs joyfully and enters the church.

Followed by Mr. Fischer.

"Ivy, what do we do?If you're scared, why don't we wait outside?

When I told him to wait outside, he seemed to be out there with me.

But I also care.

"I want to see it. I'm coming with you."

Entering through the door opened by Mr. Ginal, it was relatively beautiful inside.

However, there were no pictures of flowers on the walls, and instead a large picture was decorated on the front entrance through the door.

"That's funny. What the hell is going on?

Mr. Ginal is tilting his neck as he checks the condition of the chair.

"What's wrong?

My father sees the chair that Jinal is looking at.

"This chair is still working."

"What? That's...."

Your father sees the chair in the words of Mr. Dinal.

Then wrinkles appeared between my eyebrows.

"Looking at the state of the house, the state of the chair is creepy."

"The doors of the church were slightly open over time, but the walls remained unusually clean."

Fischer has a slightly harsh expression.

"Isn't the interior of this church too clean?There's nothing broken.It's like time is stopping. "

Mr. Fischer looks at the church disgusting.

My father is looking at the church with a sharp eye.

There's no dust.

I tried touching the chair, but my hands didn't turn white.

"That's true. But I've never heard of magic items that stop time."

Fathers nod to Jinal's words.

"Pupupupupu ~"

Sola?

In Sola's voice, looking for where she was, she was in front of the first picture she found.

By Sola's side, Flem and Sol looked up at the painting.

It's a big picture.
