I guess the atmosphere was more somber.

But it seems that we are unsuccessful with our purple ray of light.

What's going on here?

"Enemy attack! Can't you see! What are the security guys doing!

"Ritual recovery hurry! I can still come back!

For the most part, it's all a bit hectic.

Unlike other places, this place seems to have a more rational group of people, and since we're talking like this, information is coming in little by little.

However, perhaps because of the commotion, the only information that comes in is about how to deal with it.

The important information about what you were doing is not so easy to get.

In such cases, there may be people who talk conveniently about it, but this time, it doesn't seem to work that way.

Well, I guess I'll just follow my mother's lead.

Let's take our side of the arrangements.

My mother and I were tasked with disrupting the situation and stalling for time until Kirie-san got her people together and came to the scene.

Mom and I were ready to put down the situation, but unfortunately, I don't take the lead in doing tasks I don't have to do.

If it takes the least amount of effort, so much the better.

Still, it's not like I don't have things to do.

The situation! Hmm?

First one and then the other.

From shade to shade.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to find a way to get the best out of it.

The surveillance network that would normally be vigilant is also confused by the bombardment just now.

Moreover, deep in the woods like this, there's not much mechanical surveillance.

I was also concerned about the surveillance of ancient Japanese fantasy elements such as yin-yang divination and witchcraft, but most of them were neutralized by the first blow.

This is one of the reasons why there is so much noise, but it is also the reason why this kind of infiltration and abduction is possible.

......, but why are there so many bizarre outfits in these secret rituals?

In manga, a secret organization is often referred to as a black suit or an eccentric outfit, and this place is no different.

The first thing I did was to find a guy of similar build to my mom and me, so I jumped out of the shadows and dragged him into the shadows where he was hiding before being seen.

Then, I'm going to calmly hold the man's mouth while holding his mouth, strip off his clothes, gag him and tie his legs and feet together, and voila!

The man was covered with a nearby cloth, but even if there was a bonfire nearby, the man should not be left alone in the winter forest.

The clothing in your hand is similar to a yukata, but it's thicker than a jacket.

The costume has an ethnic color scheme that I don't think you would want to use for everyday wear, and that cosplayers would wear.

There was a strange animal pattern on its surface.

You'll be able to see that our usual outfits are similar, and you can look at another object with a giggle.

Is this ...... a cow?

And a mask with a cow-like picture painted in red paint on a white background.

The old man who appeared at the end of the mask was a middle-aged man who could be found anywhere.

Looking back, everyone was wearing a mask with an animal picture on it.

At first I thought it was to hide his face.

"d*mn! What the hell are the Tatsu guys doing!

"Shiruka! What about the boars? I mean, I don't want to see them.... I mean, that's what they need to do.

"You're more of a snake people than they are! It's their job to watch you!

Apparently not.

When you feel someone approaching, you try to hide and listen as quickly as possible.

Apparently, each face has a role to play.

The dragon is a guard...the boar is like that...and the snake is a spy.

All the animals of the Chinese zodiac will be present and this cow's mask will have a role too.

Then it's more convenient to use that meaning if you're going to sneak in.

Well, it's a colorful mask, though.

If you look closely at the people who gave me this information, you'll see an ape-like pattern, a sheep-like pattern, and I wonder if it's a bird.

I wonder if that pattern, all yellow, is a ceremonial color.

Check out .......

I'm going to have to look into that as well, but honestly, gathering that information now is a pain in the ass and I don't have the time.

But there are times when it's necessary.

Then.

Anyway, if we find a guy in a different mask, we'll drag him in.

It's just what needs to be done.

I'm wondering if it would have been more convenient to bring my mother with me anyway.

Anyway, that's the snake.

All the buildings in this place are shaped like tents.

They are arranged on the outside to surround the square, with a radius of less than 50 meters.

In the center, there is a masonry structure, and you can see something underneath it in the distance.

You want to enter the center, but you need a costume to do so.

Once you return to the forest, you find a figure that seems to be searching for something.

Guha!

No, brother, when you move, you have to move in pairs, or else you will be subdued like this. Next time, you'll have a better idea.

That move is amateurish.

A movement that does not think it will do anything to you.

It is a movement just trying to find something in the dark.

It's exactly like a duck carrying a leek.

Then this one is easy.

Throw a pebble into the bushes on the other side for a moment to make a noise and guide my gaze, and you'll have an unprotected back, just like this.

All that's left is to attack from behind, hold their mouths and fish them into the darkness and choke them off.

After some resistance, I skipped consciousness and peeled off my mask to reveal a young man's face, probably in his twenties.

The man from earlier and the group of three who were conversing, their ages are sparse, so what is the connection?

I wondered if there was no point in prying, and now I did what I had to do.

"Well, I'm in second place, but I can't just move on this one, can I?

I have the cow's mask from earlier, but I'm not sure how much sense it makes at this cow's place.

...... the color is different. Do different animals have different colors?

And I'm curious about the color as well as the design.

This young man was wearing a black snake mask.

Normally, each animal has its own color, but if that's the case, I don't think there's a need to separate the animals and assign them different roles.

Besides, I can't explain the three of them, who had the same color but different animals.

They seemed to be talking as equals in terms of atmosphere.

This is what you can deduce from that.

"...... class?

The environment of dungeons can be fatal for those who are not good at observing.

To put it concretely, I, the vanguard, must observe the characteristics of the monsters to find their weaknesses.

Exploiting the weaknesses will make the attack easier and, more importantly, less dangerous.

Thanks to this, I suddenly began to pay attention to casual features.

Distinguishing by color is a thing.

Guessing again, the so-called twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac from the animals I just mentioned, and red and black, are the twelve levels of the coronation.

The twelve ranks are also derived from the Five Elements Theory, starting with the black at the lowest level and ending with the purple at the highest level.

It would mean that they are divided.

I think it's related to Yin and Yang: ......

If this guess is correct, then this cow's red class is pretty top notch.

Huh, lucky or unlucky, it's time to hurry up.

We came to the possibility that it was a high-ranking official who caught him by accident, and if the official was missing, what would his men do?

The answer is obvious, we'll be looking around.

Then this cow's mask is useless.

No equipment of such a high rank can be used to hide in plain sight.

Well, let's get one more at a moment's notice.

Once that is decided, and perhaps there are still people searching the surroundings, the cow's equipment is abandoned and moved in the other direction as if she had escaped into the forest.

And.

Higuah!

You can easily find another entity acting alone and kill it in the same way.

What you're doing is just like in a horror movie.

You jump out of what seems to be nothing and drag them into the darkness, and if you look behind you, the person you were with earlier is gone.

Shadows creeping out of the darkness, is a word that could be used in a trailer for a horror movie.

The actions you are doing and the situation of the spooky forest are perfect.

In order to switch your awareness of what you are thinking in a place that seems to have a spooky atmosphere just because of the location of the Aokigahara Sea of Trees, you tighten your grip on the person still struggling in your arms and drop your consciousness.

Then, the third person is processed and the mask is checked.

The snake pattern there, black in color.

That's the lower mask, if I'm right.

Now that I've accomplished my goal, I'm going to run to my mother.

Elude the guards on the way back to the woods where she's hiding.

For a moment, you feel a presence and send a hand sign in the direction you feel.

You're late, Jiro.

It took me longer than I expected.

Then smoothly my mother came down from the tree.

I think you got what you came for, didn't you?

"I got it, but does ...... get it in?

Originally, the plan was to steal the costume to avoid detection, but I don't think the disguise was necessary.

So, I'm going to talk to you in a non-combat-ready yukata-like costume and show you a convenient side to hide your face.

Well done, I'm going to change then.

How are you going to go, how are you going to take the bomb? There's nowhere to hide.

It's the kind of clothing that can tell you that a bulge will be obvious.

Just because the clothes are heavy doesn't mean they can't be hidden.

It's going to be okay. Don't trust your mother.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

Jiro.

"Oh.

The expression on her face that had been smiling a moment ago is now tightening.

Did you miss it?

"Maybe. Sorry.

Hey, it's my fault for getting greedy. Don't worry about it.

Either he was noticed by the man who first locked him down, or he was searching the area beforehand.

All I can tell you is.

I guess we're surrounded.

"Oh.

The siege may not be complete, but I can feel their determination to not miss the target, which is us.

And I guess we're here for you.

"Cumbersome

The muzzle of the gun glinted and I saw that it was aimed at me.

My mother, as expected, does not seem to be moving carelessly under this crossfire.

She seems to be slowly narrowing the siege, intending to catch us.

Should we just take him?

If you're a guy who can guarantee it, you can get caught, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

"Looks like it.

I would not be doing this if I knew what I was getting into after I was caught, heaving a sigh inwardly.

Are you ready?

That's what happens in the end?

"I don't hate it. These things. What about you?

"Unfortunately,

Drop to your knees gingerly.

He smiles.

"I'm my mother's son.

Without timing we run out at the same time.

I'm having fun!

"Ahahahaha! It was nice!

In the middle of the square.

My mother, who was laughing merrily, threw something behind her as if it were a souvenir and manipulated her phone.

"Come on! Let's go boom!

It was to be blown up.

There was chaos behind us.

And we were charging into the ceremonial square with the blast at our backs.

Word of the Day

The unfamiliarity is not something to be done.
