Iyo's two little beast girls have different attitudes towards Kaguya's help in "smoothing". Afu is joking 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 shrines 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 along the quiet gravel path for quite some distance, Kaguya's eyes suddenly opened up.
"This is the brand-new Iyo Town. The two tribes of our raccoon tribe have now moved to this area. The town is still under construction, and its scale is naturally far smaller than the Paradise Market, Oeyama Castle, and Umi no Kuni City.
These are the prosperous areas of the island. However, Xiaojiu and I have both participated in the early planning work here, and we have also seen the blueprint from Blacksmith... It won’t take too long, and this place will definitely become very lively."
Ah Fu pointed forward and said this.
In the past, Iyo was completely a dense forest. Although there were settlements of raccoon and fox tribes, the living conditions were really unsatisfactory.
There are only a few decent-looking wooden houses over there, and the rest are dilapidated mud houses and thatched houses. The only stone path in the raccoon settlement only leads to the raccoon road leading to the eight hundred and eight raccoons.
Imperial Palace.
As for the 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, there is only 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 previously led the Fox Clan, needed to guard the ruins of Songshan Ancient City, so the clan's activities never strayed too far from the ruins.
However, 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 Tie Ye Yu led a team here, and conducted a serious on-the-spot investigation, and finally carefully drafted and planned the construction of "Iyo Monster Town"
planning.
The town area is located at the foot of a relatively flat mountain, adjacent to a river.
At present, it has begun to take shape. Several masonry 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 main road in the center of the town is lined with
The planned commercial district is still under construction.
The core of the construction team led by Forge Lao is composed of construction craftsmen from Dajiangshan City.
The architectural aesthetics of the ghost craftsmen are outstanding, and the wooden and stone structure houses created are beautiful and grand.
The eaves are flying, the animals are moving on the ridges, the walls are white and the tiles are black, and the structure is clear.
Nowadays, most of the raccoon and fox tribes who previously lived in other territories of Takamagahara have moved back to Iyo Youkai 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.
Xiaojiu: "I heard that the buildings on Night Food Plain are also very beautiful and grand."
Speaking of beautiful, the Tsuki Castle of Yonoshugahara 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.
Very fresh.
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 Blacksmith 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.
For example, the former Miyaji Oro is currently working under Isohime. Oro is arranged to participate in coordinating part of Takamagahara's management of Yonoshugahara, while also taking care of some 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 before to do resource research, and the tea found here has become a key development project. Its future status may be similar to that of Haiguo's seaweed wine, hehe."
I took Kaguya for a walk and had a look. Afu and Xiaojiu were talking to each other, and there was always a sense of pride in their voices.
Although the two little beast girls have a high degree of identification with themselves as "part of Takamagahara", Iyo is their hometown after all.
…
"Kaguya-sama, further ahead is Kisaragi Station. The station is right on the edge of the town, so traveling is very convenient."
Ah Fu walked in front, his big smooth fur tail swaying back and forth, full of airs, and he introduced the situation of Iyo with great detail.
"station?"
Princess Kaguya has never seen Kisaragi Station and Kisaragi Train, and she just wanted to ask something more about this unfamiliar term.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But then, the voice stopped 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 earlier, the number of ghosts and ghosts walking on the streets of the original town was relatively small.
But just now, a large group of civet cats and foxes suddenly emerged from the surrounding houses in the residential area where the three girls were. Most of the civet cats did not turn into human forms like Ah Fu and Xiao Jiu. Generally speaking,
It's more like Fury.
And all of these Furui are neatly dressed, and some of them are carrying or holding small square bags under their arms.
They were walking in a hurry and energetically, greeting each other with acquaintances along the way, walking together through the streets and alleys of Iyo, and pouring out in the same direction. Although the streets were spacious enough, compared with the atmosphere just now, such a large number of foxes now
At the same time, the event scene was quite crowded.
Generally speaking, the number of Moon People on the Night Food Plain is not too many. Seeing so many active individuals at once is definitely a big scene for Princess Kaguya.
"What's going on?"
Kaguya looked around, completely confused as to what was going on.
Why suddenly, such a large group of fluffy tanukis and foxes appeared on the street, as if the residents of Iyo Town had mobilized en masse.
"Huh?" Ah Fu was obviously used to the surrounding situation, "What do you mean, Lady Kaguya?"
"That's why everyone suddenly came out of the house. Did something big happen?"
"Oh, it's not a big deal." Ah Fu scratched his head, "It's just... I'm at work."
"work?"
"Everyone has to go to Kisaragi Station to take the train, and then go to work at their respective jobs. The number of pass tokens you hold, like Kaguya-sama, is very small in Takamagahara. Others have to go to other areas, mainly
The best way is to take the punctual Kisaragi train." Xiaojiu further explained.
Due to their previous sojourn experience, most of the tanukis and foxes here in Iyo have formal jobs in other territories in Takamagahara, and now most of the tanukis and foxes have 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, just follow us to the station and take a look. It's time for us to go to other places. Oh, speaking of the operation of the train, in addition to Kamiya-sama, there is also the credit of Satoru-sama.
Woolen cloth."
The existence of the Kisaragi transportation network has brought great convenience to the operation of the entire Gaotianyuan force.
Most people within the force know that the "intelligent" operation of the Kisaragi Train requires the unique "programming ability" of the Internet Goddess Satoru.
Therefore, Master Wu is great!
Bang bang——
In front of the crowded platform, the Ruyue train crashed through the void and roared from the end of the track.
The foxes waiting to commute to work filed in.
Kaguya was also brought onto the train by Afu and Xiaojiu, and the two little beast girls also paid the fare for two soul crystals to the train conductor on Kaguya's behalf.
Even if you are a distinguished guest from Yuecheng, you are the princess on the moon, you still have to pay for the ride.
But you can't do anything special.
And for Princess Kaguya, being in such a huge and fast-moving steel creation was another wonderful experience worth recording in her diary when she goes back.
…
Happy time always flies by.
Taking advantage of the convenient Kisaragi train, Afu and Xiaojiu took Kaguya to Oeyama Castle and Paradise Market.
The three girls spent a particularly long time at the market.
After all, the Dreamland area is the most prosperous area in Gaotian Plains, with a wide variety of products and lively activities from time to time. With its development, the scope of the market is no longer limited to the park, but has also expanded outwards.
A big circle.
Not only the monsters and monsters within the Takamagahara forces like to come here, but the rapidly developing Dreamland has even attracted many rational and gentle wild monsters to hang out here.
Ah Fu and Xiao Jiu often come here after get off work. Perhaps it is their nature as girls to like shopping.
It certainly feels good to be able to go shopping with a salary today!
Not to mention Princess Kaguya, the little princess who is always in the cold moon city, coming to the lively and bustling Yougui Market is no different from entering the Grand View Garden. She wants to go in and take a look at all the stalls and shops along the road.
.
Before the girls could finish browsing the market, the sky had already turned dark.
With the idea that she must come again next time, Princess Kaguya reluctantly bid farewell to the Paradise Market and went to the last stop of her tour of the lower realm today——
Haiguo City Cundao.
She came to Shicun Island to meet Long who works here.
In the Haiguo Administrative Building at night, there were still many rooms with lights on. One of the offices belonged to Hao, who had just come here to work.
Her predecessor, Tsukijo Miyajiro, was sitting behind a desk piled 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 at this time, gently swinging her legs that were not touching the ground, and recounting her strange experiences throughout the day.
Beside her were many souvenirs from the Paradise Market wrapped in large and small packages.
These souvenirs were all bought by Kaguya with her own money. She only realized this after taking the Kisaragi train——
It turned out that when Kamiya visited her in the Moon Palace one time before, some small crystal stones and metal round cakes called "pocket money" that he handed to her were mainly used to exchange goods and services in the lower world.
"So, Kaguya-sama. You spent the whole day doing nothing in the lower world. 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 Yu's harsh words, after all, the brain circuits of the people of the moon are like this.
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, doesn't it mean they have nothing to do?
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, and Sister Hao. I saw a mask in the market. It was very beautiful. I thought 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 made a smiley gesture on the latter's face wearing a plain white mask.
The latter just silently removed the mask.
She is not wearing the old mask now, but her exposed white face is no different from when she wore the mask. It is expressionless, solemn and noble. She is beautiful and at the same time makes people feel aloof and unapproachable. It is impossible to guess where she is.
Thinking about something.
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 slender fingers over the still warm white tea cup, "Here.
After arriving here, as if without realizing it, I will start to do some... completely meaningless things."
Take a look.
It's true that Hajime 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?"
"...Some are bitter, some are sweet."
"Sister Long. So, do you think we have received 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, there is a square facing Shicundashima. There are warm bonfires and colorful lights, and the ghosts and monsters who have got off work gather 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.
