Chapter 40
We are riding the RV over the sea.
We are actually using the flight magic, but outsiders will see an odd sight.
The weather is nice.
The sunlight of the midsummer makes the sea surface glitter.
Filia has been pressing her nose against the window since a while ago shouting「Fish~」「Island~」「Bird~」happily.
We are sometimes attacked by monsters, but the interception system takes care of it.
Golem arms are attached in various parts of the RV, which automatically knock away monsters that get too close.
We took a northeast course, which takes us to a certain island.
It’s an island of the Oni.
After the invasion of the Ekbana, the huge breasted general told us to visit the island by all means if we get the chance.
Apparently, their culture resembles j.a.pan’s the most, therefore I wanted to visit it.
The island Oni live at is called without a change「Oni Island」and has the size of Kyushu.
The population is approximately 300,000.
After safely arriving at the sh.o.r.e, we head straight towards the capital「Hana Miyako」.
「Oh~ This somehow makes me nostalgic~」
Every house on the way resembled an old j.a.panese house, the nostalgia within me sprung each time I saw one.
As expected, the staple food of this country is rice, the rice fields spread all around.
This is completely a scene of the j.a.panese countryside.
It somehow makes me want to drown in rice.
By the way, I didn’t want to cause unnecessary trouble so I concealed the RV with magic.
It looks suspicious no matter how you look at it, after all.
Before long, we arrive at the capital.
This city looks exactly like Kyoto.
We pa.s.s under a huge gate――Its size is enough to let the RV pa.s.s through――and we move towards the political and religious center, Onihime’s palace.
In other words, Onihime has the exact position as an Emperor in the old days.
We get off in front of the Imperial Palace.
When we convey our business to the gatekeepers, they welcome us with
「So big~!」
The imperial garden spreads all over the place.
I use〈Pinnacle of Detection〉and look for Ouka’s whereabouts. She seems to be inside one of the buildings.
We told the gatekeeper that we are going, but we were told to wait for a bit.
Then, at that moment.
A group of five suddenly fell before us from the sky.
Of course, everyone is Oni. They seem to be in their twenties~thirties.
「So you are Karuna!」
One of the Onis glares at me while shouting.
Rather, every one of them looks at me like I’m an enemy of their family.
「Having four girls with you, unforgivable!」
「This riajuu!」
「Hand one of them to meeee!」
「…… You should just burn……」
I receive words of resentment.
「…… What are those people?」
Tira glares at the five with suspicious eyes.
No wonder.
No matter how you look, their appearances are suspicious.
For some reason, all of them wear happi coats in different colors with such words as「Ouka-sama love」and「Ouka-tan is my bride」written on them.
By the way, their appearances are little "that".
「What business do you have with Ouka!?」
「Rather than business, I just came to meet her」
When I say so, the five make an expression as if they received a shock,
「Ku…… he seems really friendly, though……!?」
「Unforgiveable! Unforgiveableeee!」
「We are being ignored…… by a human……」
「Wrong……! Ouka-tan is…… Ouka-tan is my brideeee!」
「…… I can only die now……」
These people, would it be wrong to kill them……?
「…… Who are you?」
I checked for the time being, but I regret doing that.
They suddenly started introducing themselves.
While doing some incomprehensible poses.
「If it’s for Ouka-sama, no matter if h.e.l.l or high water…… if there’s a chance to get her to bath or to the bed……! Self-proclaimed bodyguard, but also the most dangerous fan, Red!」
「I don’t desire much. Just watching over her from distance is enough. That is my fundamental stance………… But, betrayal is never acceptableeee! Anti-sudden change fan, Blue!」
「Ouka-chan merchandise collector! Using personal properties to purchase more with no regrets! A limit exceeding fan with h.e.l.lish debts, Yellow!」
「Ouka-tan is my bride…… Ouka-tan is my bride…… Ouka-tan is my bride…… Ouka-tan is my brideeee! I who doesn’t doubt delusions! Delusional maiden fan, Pink!」
「…… Not uniting with Ouka would be my death…… living would be meaningless…… Ouka, it’s your fault, you know…… You have killed me…… ahaha, ahahahaha…… depressed, responsibility s.h.i.+fting fan…… Black」
They then gather in one place,
「「「「「The five of us make, Ouka Love Rangers Squadron!」」」」」
They all make a signature pose (considerably creepy) and show off.
…… Can I go back?
