I loaded the ghost talk game

Iyo's two little beast girls have different attitudes towards Kaguya's help in "smoothing". Afu is cheerful and generous, while Xiaojiu is coy and half-nudging.

But after some close contact, the distance between the three girls seemed to have become much closer.

Next, it’s time to complete Kaguya’s main purpose of coming to the lower world——

Experience the local customs and customs in the territory.

"Kaguya-sama, let's take a look around Iyo first. Let's go this way. Now this is the area around Kanna, and usually no monsters will come close. If you want to see the life of our local monsters, you have to Go outside."

"Hmm, this is not a regular activity area. Lord Crab Princess's men usually patrol around the gods in various territories."

As temporary companions, Afu and Xiaojiu had good professional qualities. While introducing Kaguya to the internal situation of the territory, they led her towards the residential area of ​​​​the Iyo and Fox tribes, just like two little kids. Tour guide.

After walking a long distance along the quiet gravel path, Kaguya's eyes suddenly opened up.

"This is a brand new Iyo town. The two tribesmen of our raccoon tribe have now moved to this area. The town is still under construction, and its scale is naturally far smaller than that of Paradise Market, Oeyama Castle, and Umi no Kuni Tianshinda These are the prosperous areas of the island. However, Xiaojiu and I have participated in the preliminary planning work here, and we have also seen the blueprint from Forge... It won’t take long for this place to become very lively.”

Ah Fu pointed forward and said this.

In the past, Iyo was completely a dense forest. Although there were settlements of the raccoon and fox tribes, the living conditions were really unsatisfactory.

The civet cats only had some wooden houses that were barely decent, and the rest were dilapidated mud houses and thatched houses. The only stone path in the raccoon tribe settlement only leads to the raccoon palace leading to the eight hundred and eight raccoon dogs.

As for Tanuki Palace, it is said to be the palace of the leader of one party, but in the eyes of Kamiya and his party who have visited there, they only have one objective evaluation -

Rough.

It can only be said that the construction level of the civet cats is really hard to describe.

As for the living environment of the Fox clan, it is not much better. The Shashengzhu who led the Fox Clan before had to defend the ruins of Songshan Ancient City, so the clan's activities never strayed too far from the ruins.

But the living environment in the ruins area is too harsh, and the living conditions of the foxes are only some small wooden houses and simple caves.

Nowadays, it is different from the past. After Iyo was included in the territory of Shingao Amhara, Sister Kaku's direct disciple Kagoya led a team here, and conducted a serious on-site inspection, and finally carefully drafted and planned the construction of "Iyo Monster Town" planning.

The town block is located at the foot of a relatively flat mountain, next to a river.

At present, it has begun to take shape. Several stone avenues are completely paved. Gray and white lines divide the emerald green town into many squares of different sizes. The outer residential areas have been initially completed, and the planned commercial areas on both sides of the main road in the center of the town are still under construction.

The core of the construction team led by Gao Ye is composed of construction craftsmen from Dajiangshan City.

The architectural aesthetics of the ghost craftsmen are outstanding, and the wood-and-stone structures they built are beautiful and grand.

The eaves are flying, the animals are moving on the ridges, the white walls and black tiles are clear in structure.

Nowadays, most of the raccoon and fox tribes who previously lived in other territories of Takamagahara have moved back to Iyo Monster Town.

"It's so beautiful here."

Walking in the small town in the early morning, Kaguya looked around curiously and couldn't help but admire.

Xiao Jiu: "I heard that the buildings on Night Food Plain are also very beautiful and grand."

Speaking of beautiful, the Moon Castle in the Night Food Plain is indeed very beautiful and magnificent, but it is too solemn and deserted. On the other hand, here in Iyo Town, although the buildings are brand new, there is a breath of life everywhere, which is very lively.

Kaguya prefers this feeling.

Ah Fu: "Oh, that's right! I saw Blacksmith and the people of several months staying together before. It was to exchange experience in building construction and so on. Maybe in the future, the territory on the ground will be absorbed. It’s a beautiful building in the Moon City style.”

Not long after Kamiyagawa became the palace minister of Tsukijo, the exchange of territory between Yonoshugahara and Takatenhara had begun to advance.

However, the characteristics of the people of the moon are somewhat special, and it is unrealistic to expect all of them to come to the lower realm. Therefore, communication must start on a small scale. The situation at Forge Lao is an example.

In addition, there are currently selected people of the Moon who are participating in the work on the ground, and this kind of work exchange will be maintained for a long time.

The former Miyaji Oro is currently working under Isohime. Hao was arranged to participate in coordinating some of Takamagahara's management of the Night Food Plains, while also taking care of some of the daily affairs of the above-ground territory.

The influence is always subtle.

"Look over there, Lady Kaguya, there is a large area of ​​newly planned tea gardens over there, but it hasn't been built yet."

"tea garden?"

"Yes. Mr. Cat Shopkeeper came to Yiyu to do resource research before, and the tea found in Yiyu has become a key development project. Its future status may be similar to that of Haiguo's seaweed wine, hehe."

Taking Kaguya for a walk, Afu and Xiaojiu chatted with each other, always with a sense of pride in their voices.

Although the two little beast girls have a strong sense of identity as "part of Takamagahara", Iyo is their hometown after all.

…

"Kaguya-sama, just a little further ahead is Kisaragi Station. The station is right on the edge of the town, so it is very convenient to travel."

Fuku walked in front, swinging his big tail with smooth fur back and forth, full of pride, and introduced the situation of Iyo like the back of his hand.

"Station?"

Kaguya has not seen Kisaragi Station and Kisaragi Train yet, and was about to ask something about this unfamiliar term.

But then, she stopped talking immediately.

Kaguya felt that at a certain moment just now, the atmosphere around Iyo Town seemed to have become a little different.

Because it was early, there were fewer demons and ghosts on the streets of the original town.

But just now, in the residential area where the three girls were, a large group of raccoons and foxes suddenly emerged from the surrounding houses. Most of the raccoons and foxes did not transform into human forms like Fuku and Xiaojiu, and generally looked more like Furui.

All of these Furui were dressed neatly, and some of them were holding or clasping small square bags under their arms.

They were in a hurry and nervous, greeting each other along the way, and walked through the streets and alleys of Iyo in groups, heading in the same direction. Although the streets were wide enough, compared with the atmosphere just now, the scene of a large number of raccoons and foxes moving at the same time could be considered crowded.

The number of Moon People on the Night Food Plain was not too large in general, and seeing so many moving individuals at once was definitely a big scene for Kaguya.

"What happened?"

Kaguya looked around, completely confused about what was going on.

How come suddenly, such a large group of furry raccoons and foxes appeared on the street, as if the residents of Iyo Town had collectively moved out.

"Hmm?" Ah Fu was obviously used to the surrounding situation. "What do you mean, Kaguya-sama?"

"Why did everyone suddenly come out of the house? Did something big happen?"

"Oh, nothing big." Ah Fu scratched his head, "Just... go to work."

"Go to work?"

"Everyone has to go to Kisaragi Station to take the train, and then go to their respective jobs. The number of pass tokens held by you, Kaguya-sama, is very small inside Takamagahara. For others to go to other areas, the main way is to take the punctual Kisaragi train." Xiao Jiu further explained.

Due to the previous experience of living in Iyo, most of the raccoons and foxes in Iyo have a formal job in other territories in Takamagahara, and now the raccoons and foxes have basically moved back to Iyo.

Therefore, during the morning rush hour every day, the traffic demand in Iyo Town is very large.

However, this problem can be perfectly solved by the Kisaragi train network.

"Kaguya-sama, come with us to the station and you'll know. It's time for us to go somewhere else. Oh, speaking of the operation of the train, in addition to Kamiya-sama, there is also the contribution of that Satoru-sama."

The existence of the Kisaragi transportation network has brought great convenience to the operation of the entire Takamagahara faction.

And most people in the faction know that the "intelligent" operation of the Kisaragi train is inseparable from the unique "programming ability" of the Internet goddess Satoru-sama.

So, Satoru-sama, great!

Bang Bang--

In front of the crowded platform, the Kisaragi train broke through the void and roared from the end of the track.

The raccoons waiting to commute to work entered one after another.

Kaguya-sama was also taken on the train by Afu and Xiaojiu, and the two little beast girls also paid the fare of two soul crystals to the train attendant on behalf of Kaguya-sama.

Even if you are a distinguished guest from Yuecheng, a princess on the moon, you have to pay for the train.

You can't make special arrangements.

For Kaguya, being in such a huge, high-speed steel structure was another wonderful experience worth recording in her diary.

…

Happy time always passes quickly.

Taking advantage of the convenient Kisaragi train, Afu and Xiaojiu took Kaguya to Oeyama Castle and the Paradise Market.

The three girls spent a particularly long time at the market.

After all, the Dreamland area is the most prosperous area in the territory of Takamagahara, with a wide variety of goods and lively activities from time to time. Up to now, the scope of the market has long been not limited to the park, but has expanded outward.

Not only the demons and ghosts within the Takamagahara forces like to come here, the rapidly developing Dreamland has even attracted many rational and relatively gentle wild ghosts to haunt and move here.

Afu and Xiaojiu often come here after get off work. Perhaps it is their nature as girls to like shopping.

It feels great to be able to go shopping with pay today!

Kaguya-ji, who always stayed in the cold Moon City, felt that the bustling Demon Market was no different from entering the Grand View Garden. She wanted to go into all the stalls and shops along the way.

Before the girls finished visiting the market, the sky had already darkened.

With the idea of ​​coming again next time, Kaguya-ji reluctantly said goodbye to the Paradise Market and went to the last stop of today's tour of the lower world -

Tianxin Island of the Sea Country.

She came to Tianxin Island to meet Long who worked there.

There were still many rooms with lights on in the Haiguo Administrative Building at night. One of the offices belongs to Hao, who just came here to work not long ago.

Her predecessor, Tsukijo Miyajiro, was sitting behind a desk filled with documents. In her hand, there was a cup of steaming tea.

This is a new product within Takamagahara's influence that has not yet been mass-produced, tea from Iyo.

"Later, Ah Fu and Xiao Jiu..."

Kaguya was sitting on the sofa in the office, gently swinging her legs that could not touch the ground, and recounted her strange experiences throughout the day.

Beside her were many souvenirs from the Paradise Market in large and small packages.

These souvenirs were all bought by Kaguya with her own money. She only realized this after riding the Kisaragi train——

It turns out that when Kamiya visited her in the Moon Palace one time before, some of the small crystal stones and metal round cakes called "pocket money" that he handed to her were mostly used to exchange goods and services in the lower realm.

"So, Kaguya-sama. You spent the whole day in the lower world doing nothing. You also bought a bunch of...meaningless gadgets at the market."

After hearing about the little princess's one-day trip to the lower world, Hao only gave this comment.

"Yes."

Kaguya wouldn't find it disheartening to hear Ozu's harsh words, after all, this is how the brains of the people of the moon are.

She has long been used to it.

When the people of the moon work, they work for twenty hours straight. In their view, if they haven't completed even one task all day long, isn't it just doing nothing?

As for those small commodities from the market, firstly, they cannot increase their strength, and secondly, they cannot increase their knowledge. In the eyes of the moon people, they are not just meaningless gadgets.

"Oh, also, sister Hao. I saw a mask in the market. It was very beautiful. It looked better than the one you wore before, so I bought it for you."

Kaguya talked to herself, took out a golden fox mask from a pile of souvenirs around her, handed it to Haori, and gestured with a smile on the latter's face wearing a plain white mask.

The latter just took off the mask without saying a word.

She is not wearing the old mask now, but her exposed white face is the same as when she wore the mask, expressionless, solemn and noble. She is beautiful and at the same time makes people feel aloof and inaccessible. It is impossible to guess what she is thinking.

After a moment, the once arrogant palace minister spoke again: "Master Kaguya, do you think the lower world is a filthy place?"

"Of course not. Everyone here is a good person. I saw it with my own eyes." Kaguya shook her head firmly.

"But I feel that there must be something here...it will affect me." Hao gently placed the golden fox mask on the table of the desk, and brushed his long fingers over the still warm plain white tea cup, "Here. Once I get here, it seems like I will start doing some... completely meaningless things without even realizing it."

Take a look.

It's true that Hagi didn't mean to ridicule Kaguya.

The former palace minister may not even understand the specific meaning of "sarcasm", after all, she has a similar evaluation of herself.

"Hmm." Kaguya turned her gaze to the tea cup on her desk and asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the current topic, "What does Iyo's tea taste like?"

"...somewhat bitter, some sweet."

"Sister Hao. So, do you think we have had a good influence or a bad influence since we came to the lower world?"

"I have no idea."

Hao couldn't answer.

She stood up from the desk and walked to the bright window of the office.

Outside the window, facing a square on Tianxin Island. The warm bonfires and colorful lights there were dancing and colorful. The demons and ghosts who had already got off work gathered there, noisy, chatting and laughing lively.

In addition, there is a huge electronic screen in the square, which seems to be preparing to play some special program.

The hazy face is reflected on the bright glass, overlapping with the lively scene outside the window.

So close, yet so far.

There was a rare fluctuation in those bright eyes, which was full of fear and confusion.

The former noble palace minister bent his right hand to his abdomen, grabbed the elbow of his left hand, and turned his face away from the window, no longer looking at the lively scene outside: "I have superfluous emotions in my heart. "(End of chapter)
