"Come to think of it, we came to Kyoto City to investigate the missing food, right?"
Fujiwara no Moko, who was slow to realize it, suddenly discovered this very important problem:
They came to Kyoto for food, but in the end they failed to achieve their ultimate goal.
how to say.
This feeling is like when you play a game, you finish all the side quests, and then you find that you have failed the main quest.
This is no longer a question of whether the mission can be completed.
Rather, it is a problem of losing the big picture for the small, which raises doubts about business capabilities.
"Shut up!"
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Nanxing felt as if he was being ridiculed and his face turned dark.
It's not that he can't accept criticism from others.
However, being criticized by Fujiwara no Moko...he was somewhat unable to accept it.
"Even if I have to use Wood Release, I have to create enough food for these 200,000 people to eat for a week!"
As he thought about this, his ugly expression eased slightly.
At the same time, Kikyo was feeling extremely conflicted.
how to say.
As a witch, she adheres to the principle of "non-interventionism".
She didn't want Nanxing to get too involved in the monster's affairs.
But at the same time, she didn't want Nanxing to interfere in people's daily lives.
Now, whether it is resurrecting 200,000 people or finding food for these 200,000 people, it has reached a point that can be called "excessive intervention."
This is not true.
But at the same time, Kikyo knew that she had no choice but to intervene.
——If they rely solely on the city’s existing food reserves, it is questionable whether they can survive a week.
"How to do it?"
Kikyo raised her head and looked at the white clouds in the sky.
The white clouds are silent, just floating leisurely, changing their shapes at will under the blowing of the wind.
Then, Kikyo sighed.
"Ugh."
Yes.
In this world, not all problems have a clear answer.
……
three days later.
After all, Nanxing did not fall to the point of using Wood Release to produce food.
Here’s the good news:
The food that was secretly transported away by the monsters in Kyoto was not actually stored in Kyoto.
Instead, it was handed over to the guardian daimyo of Omi Province, Rokkaku Sadayasu.
——He was a staunch supporter of the Ashikaga shogunate. After Ashikaga Yoshiharu's death, he became a pillar of the shogunate and assisted the young and immature Ashikaga Yoshiteru with all his heart.
But unfortunately, although he was a capable and loyal daimyo, the trend of the times was not on his side.
Facing the aggressive Miyoshi Nagayoshi, his army was defeated step by step, and the reinforcements were slow to arrive. He and his Omi Province had become a "turtle in a jar" in a real sense.
no way.
In this situation, he could only use Kyoto City as a bargaining chip and exchange it with the Kyoto monsters for enough food to allow him to form an army of 100,000 to fight against those "rebels".
This made Nanxing speechless:
"It's a good idea that he could come up with."
"And those monsters in Kyoto...are they so well-behaved?"
"You could have directly harmed someone, but you insisted on making a deal with others?"
Faced with this ridiculous deal, Nanxing didn't know where to start complaining for a moment.
But at the same time, Yakumo Yukari told him that this reflected the wisdom of the Kyoto Group:
"What they want is an orderly and vibrant Kyoto."
"Rather than a destroyed, lifeless dead city."
"According to their plan, Abe Haruaki will be resurrected as a god."
"And that Kyoto city is his divine domain."
This explains why the Kyoto monsters were unwilling to wreak havoc in Kyoto.
to be honest.
During their more than 600 years of rule, those arrogant Kyoto monsters had long regarded this city as their home.
··· 0Request flowers· ······
If they were not forced to do so, why would they be willing to bring the war to their own homes?
"Hey, stop talking nonsense!"
"Why do I listen to you and think that I am the evil one who destroyed the monster's home?"
Nanxing protested against Yakumo Yukari's outrageous remarks.
He finally saw it.
In the battles of the past few days, he was in a bad situation on both sides:
Monsters hate him, and humans will not be grateful to him.
Apart from the mere 30 million experience points and silver, he didn't gain anything at all.
This made Nanxing somewhat disappointed.
At the same time, an inexplicable smile appeared on Yakumo Yukari's face.
... .... 0
"No, of course not."
She whispered so quietly that no one else could hear:
"Of course you are not a bad person."
"Because that's not our real home at all."
Yakumo Yukari thought with some regret.
But his eyes became brighter and brighter.
The failure of the Kyoto monsters helped her verify this truth:
"Those monsters have been working hard in Kyoto for eight hundred years, but they have not been able to make that land a true paradise."
"So, where is the paradise that belongs to us monsters?"
……
There is a lot of food in Omi Province.
Nanxing bought some sealing scrolls from the store, moved out some food, and temporarily stored them in Youyouzi's new home.
——Nanxing knew that this idea was like asking Monkey King to guard the Peach Garden.
It's extremely immoral.
However, there is no way.
Near Kyoto, the only people Nanxing can trust are her and Yakumo Yukari.
The newly renovated Baiyu Building is large enough to store a month's worth of food for the entire city.
After Nanxing leaves, Yakumo Yukari will find a way to distribute the food to help those who have been reborn get through the most difficult period.
"You can rest assured."
"I, Youyouzi, will never touch even a grain of food!"
Yuyuko Saigyouji patted her chest and assured.
——The saliva that kept flowing out had already soaked his chest.
Chapter 102 A Woman Without Conscience
Musashi Province, Maple Village.
Compared to the rush on the way there, Nanxing and Kikyo seemed much more relaxed on the return journey.
Seven days.
It's time to return to Maple Village from Kyoto.
After that, Nanxing took out the food in the sealed scroll and distributed it to the surrounding villages that were short of food together with Kikyo and Fujiwara no Momoko.
To this end, they not only spent half a month doing this, but also even sought help from the monsters of the Nura group.
But even so, it is far from enough.
"The villages in Musashi Province have basically been supplied."
"But we can't reach other countries."
In Maple Village.
Nanxing informed Kikyo of the bad news with regret.
The monsters of the Kyoto Group spent a lot of money to gain the management rights of "340" in Kyoto City.
Now, even though the conspiracy of the Kyoto monsters failed, the food that they stole away could not be returned to the original owners.
This is a very unfortunate thing.
“This year is another disaster year.”
“The situation next year probably won’t be much better.”
In the narrow and cramped wooden house, Nanxing stood by the stove, warming herself by the fire while chatting with Kikyo.
Kikyo took out the two bamboo sticks she had collected and tried to weave clothes again.
——Her movements are already very skillful.
After all, she is a gifted witch. As long as she is willing to learn, there is nothing she cannot learn.
However, that was at this time.
"Ok?"
Kikyo, who was concentrating on her work, suddenly felt a chill.
She raised her head and looked out the window subconsciously.
In the gray sky, scattered snowflakes like sand can be vaguely seen, blown away by the cold wind and floating all over the world.
"Snowing."
……
night.
The wind and snow outside not only did not stop, but it got heavier and heavier, and it seemed as if it was about to turn the entire world white.
Nanxing waited for a long time.
But unfortunately, he was so tired of waiting, and Kikyo didn't say anything like "Don't leave today, just stay here and sleep."
