Beauty Looking Back and Her Demanded Rewards [Part 2]

The Shogun's wary look loosened a little after hearing what Melsa said with an indifferent smile. He didn't expect her to seek rewards this boldly in the name of a transaction. In the first place, what should a perishing country like Imperial Japan be stingy about? Not letting the people starve at their final moments should be the only thing they wished for.

"Interesting. You, what's your name?...

Beauty Looking Back and Her Demanded Rewards [Part 1]

"Introducing Imperial Japan's 121st Emperor, His Imperial Majesty, Yukarinomiya Hinomoto, and the 45th Shogun, His Excellency, Fujiyoshirou Toyotomi."

Head Court Lady Ume guided the Kingdom's envoys to their assigned rooms and brought them to the Edo Castle after they had changed into formal clothes.

The audience with the Emperor and the Shogun was held on the highest floor of the ca...

Imperial Japan [Part 3]

A ninja moved silently towards the highest floor of the Edo Castle's main building.

"Good job on returning, Momochi. The aid came faster than expected. Have you succeeded?"

The Shogun praised the ninja for his efforts as he watched the relief supplies being brought to the imperial residence one after another.

Bear-san, Listens To The Story Of The Past

"Even so, Mumroot. You've gotten old." (Kagali)

“It's been a long time since then. Generations of people have come and gone. If that much time had passed, even elves would physically age. You, on the other hand, have not changed at all." (Mumroot)

"Because I am young." (Kagali)

Her large breasts jiggled like pudding.

When I came out of the hole which was the entrance to the sacred tree, Ruimin came running up to me, looking happy. If she had a tail like Kagali-san, hers would be wagging like an excited puppy.

“Yuna-san, do you have time to eat today? I caught a big fish.” (Ruimin)

She was so happy to have caught a big fish, she had a big smile on her face.

"How can we be sure? Are we going to head to Mumuroot’s place now?" (Kagali)

Bear-san, Talks to Kagali-sama.

Thanks to Sakura and Shinobu, the woman called Kagali who looked disheveled earlier and was now nicely dressed. However, the woman was sitting like how a man crossed his legs, which ruined her beauty. But Sakura let out a small sigh as if it was a usual thing.

“Sakura, I thought I told you to get out of this country.” (Kagali)

As soon as I showed up, the whole place went silent.

What a well-coordinated force. Why couldn't there be at least one noisy person? Well, I guess none of them thought that a child like me would show up. Then again, to everyone else, I am just a blind boy.

No wonder they froze.

I looked around the hall. I wonder where Duke's mother was...

I did some strength training and stretching to loosen up before lunch, and then concentrated on calming my mind.

People may end up dying, but there was so much enthusiasm. Even though we were neighbors, our cultures were so different to each other.

The faint sunlight shining through the small window woke me up. I slowly open my eyelids.

Oliver, who walked at the front of the group, looked straight ahead with a pompous look, but Melsa didn't really feel the need to look dignified in this situation, so she just let the ninja continue his tour while she checked her surroundings. She wouldn't even care if someone called her a country bumpkin for looking around too much.

“I'll arrange for a ship, then.” (Shinobu)

We had to go to the island by boat.

But Sakura seems to want to say something.

"Anou, Yuna-sama. May I ask you something?" (Sakura)

“What is it?” (Yuna)

"I heard that Yuna-sama came to this country by crossing the sea on Swaying Bear-sama and Hugging Bear-sama, is that true?" (Sakura)

It had been several hours since the man had roughly told us to get in here.

It still smells as bad as ever. It reminded me of the impoverished village.

Unsanitary, filled with crazed screams, overpowering stench, and the place looked destitute. It was almost impossible to find hope in such a place.

Phil was placed in a separate cell from the rest of us. Apparently, those who are chosen for the freak show are put in a special place. I don't know if that...

A stern-looking young man with glasses stood there.

...Compared to my shabby rags, his beautiful clothes resembled something like a suit. I can't tell if it's casual or formal attire. I mean, thinking about it, this otome game's worldview was pretty amazing.

"This is the basement of the Ravaal Kingdom's arena."

The man answered Phil's question immediately.

In the previous episode, I had written that Shinobu saw the bear flame, but I deleted it.

In the scene where Yuna fights Jubei in episode 444, I had written a story where she produces bear flames to surprise Jubei, but I forgot to delete it. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to readers who read the story before the correction.

We were put in a carriage with a cage.

This carriage is more like a prisoner's carriage, isn't it? It was also more dangerous, but...

Everyone entered the cage without protest. The cage was so big that there was still room left after the five of us entered.

The most suspicious was the bald man. The scariest thing about him is that I don't know what he's thinking about. You never know what he might do.

I looked around as the guards led me. It's a magnificent building. If they can afford to spend money on this place, there should be more places to fix.

I observed the inside of the building, half-amused. There didn't seem to be a single civilian in the building. For such a large building, there are only a few people working here.

It's no wonder. Because almost no one uses checkpoints.

The guard handed me the clothes he had gotten from the carriage door so that he would not see me, and a jar of mud and charcoal respectively.

Duke-sama's subjects were excellent. To be honest, I still wonder what Duke-sama was trying to do....
