Chapter 40 (1/2)

Chapter 40 – Ouka Love Rangers Squadron

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 vigilance at first, but their att.i.tude immediately makes an 180-degree turn.

「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.
