Zhikura Dongye was invited, and the person who invited him was not someone else, but the black cat, or Lord Rope.

(But the cat actually invited me...for what is the reason?)

He was also a little curious about the invitation he would be invited. When he heard the girl named "Axia" in front of him say that the cat wanted to see him, he would happily go to the appointment.

At the same time, the brown-skinned Ainu people who visited here gave him a brief introduction to him.

She said that her name could only be pronounced in Ainu tribe... However, if it is pronounced in Japanese, it can be pronounced as Ahsha.

"Axia is a witch who serves Lord Kyōroki. Because there are not many people who speak Japanese in the village, Axia comes here to invite Mr. Yakura Tomoya."

As soon as Zhikura Tomoya saw her, he was very curious about the girl's pointed ears, but out of politeness, he would look at each other's ears.

...I really want to touch it!

This is so strange, why do ears look like this?

The Ainu people in this world are obviously completely different from the Ainu people in another world they know... According to this characteristic, these Ainu people in this world may be subhumans similar to the elves race in the fantasy world...

"A rare species?"

Zhikura Tooya remembered this title.

...

After walking out of this house, Zhicang Dongye looked at the sky. He found that the night was dark and the moon could not be seen in the night sky. Such a night environment was extremely dim. The girl wearing the Ainu tribe in front was holding a kerosene lamp in her hand.

The lights faintly shine on a road with ridges on both sides, which is a place leading to the residence of the "Lord Rope Lord".

Seeing the kerosene lamp in the girl's hand, Zhikura Tomoya remembered the previous statement of Sakano and Sudo that no household in the village was powered on.

However, it is said that there are also some backup power facilities or modern equipment, such as machinery for farmland, equipment for digging water sources, diesel generators, etc. When he came, he also noticed that there were also several off-road vehicles in the village.

When he came, he noticed that the "Ghost Wuli" village covers a large area.

The villagers' houses are mainly centered squares, and are successively built like concentric circles, and a solid fence is built in the outermost area.

"Miss Axia, how far is it from here to Lord Chinen's house?"

After walking for a while, Zhicang Dongye found that he seemed to be leaving the village if he walked further.

“It’s still a little distance.”

Ah Xia did not look back, but the voice could be heard.

What you are talking about is "still a little distance". How far is it? Just now, it has been nearly ten minutes to go?

"Lord Rope, I don't like living in the village. The place where the adult lives is a little far from the village..."

Axia explained.

"Yeah?"

Zhikura Tomoya felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched, but it might involve some inside information, so he couldn't ask too much.

He decided to ask another question.

"Miss Axia, please ask, what kind of existence does Lord Rope exist?"

"Well?"

Asa turned her head and tilted her little head.

"Master Rope is Master Rope. Mr. Zhikura's words are so difficult to understand~"

Zhicang Dongye was speechless for a moment. Isn’t this answer equivalent to not having an answer?

"I mean, she is a cat. Don't you guys find it strange? A talking cat?"

"cat?"

Asha blinked curiously.

"Have Mr. Zhikura seen a cat? There are no cats in our village, only horses, dogs, and rabbits?"

“…”

Zhicang Dongye frowned. He suddenly realized that the village was completely closed and isolated from the world. The villagers here may have never seen a cat before.

"Have you never seen cats outside?"

"No, but I have seen pictures of cats. The children in the village are a little older. The elderly have taught us how to learn pictures. I have seen pictures of external things. I know that there are cities outside the village, many mountains and lakes, the sea, and whales in the sea..."

She gestured with her free hand.

"So that's it," Zhicang Dongye wanted to continue speaking: "Miss Axia, you Ayinu tribe have been together for too long, so the people here may have forgotten that cats in the outside world can't speak, but in fact, all the animals in the world can't speak... However, Lord Rope will speak like humans. So, is Lord Rope really a cat?"

"Mr. Zhikura, you should just call me Axia."

Axia smiled, with a small dimples on her face.

"Speaking of this, you are different from others. You have always called us Ainu people, not Eui people."

When it comes to "Xiaoyi", she wrinkled her small nose.

"See you really hate this title."

"Well! After all, that's not a good thing."

Her eyes were icy blue, and her transparent and clear eyes blinked.

"It is not important to the village whether Lord Frozen is a cat, because Lord Frozen is an important member of the village and is also the oldest elder in the village. It has always guided the people in the village. Everyone relies on her wisdom, and this is the most important thing for us!"

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and her eyes lit up.

"Also, I think Mr. Zhikura said something wrong. Mr. Zhikura seems to think that all the animals in the world cannot speak, but we don't think so. In our myth, the goshawks in the sky, the bears in the mountains, and the fish in the streams, they all have their own languages ​​and can speak and communicate..."

Asha giggled and said, "So even if a cat can talk, it's not a strange thing!"

Um...

I seem to have despised the thinking circuit of these Ainu people. These guys are a group of residents living in a closed world, completely isolated from the outside world.

...It is obvious that the Ainu girl's way of thinking about problems is a bit different from her. The problems she cares about are not special in his eyes.

——In Axia's opinion, the incredible thing that the cat named "Lord Rope" can speak is a very natural thing and does not need to be carefully studied.

"Oh! Look, Mr. Zhikura, the place where Lord Kyūroki lives is right in front."

She held the kerosene lamp in her hand and pointed a finger from the opening of her sleeves covered with cloth and patterned embroidery.

Zhicang Dongye also looked up and looked forward. In the hazy night, he could see a huge oak tree. There was a small wooden house under the lush oak tree.

The windows of the wooden house are filled with hazy lights, and with sparse lights, they can be a road leading to the wooden house.

"That wooden house is where Lord Rope lives..."
