A while ago, when chatting with Aizan, Ogata and the others heard a lot about Red Moon Fortress from Aizan.

Aizan knew more about the Red Moon Fortress than anyone Ogata had ever met before.

According to Aizan, the Red Moon Fortress was officially established 10 years ago.

Ten years ago, a group of Ainu people living in the north, due to the rapid change of climate, the place where they lived was too cold to live in. So in order to protect the whole family, they had to start migrating south to find a new home. .

At that time, the person who was coordinating all matters going south was Chanup.

In the process of going south, many things happened, and countless people fell down on the way to find a new home.

After untold hardships, they finally found a wooden fortress left by the Lucians, so they moved in and rebuilt their homes in the fortress.

And Chanup, who was in charge of coordinating all the southward affairs and made the undoubted "first contribution to the southward movement", naturally became the village chief of the Red Moon Fortress until now.

For the past 10 years, Red Moon Fortress has been playing a role similar to a "refuge".

Continue to take in compatriots who are homeless for various reasons.

As a result, the number of residents in the Red Moon Fortress continued to rise.

Why Chanup would act in such an almost selfless way - Aizan didn't know either.

The residents of Red Moon Fortress have a very, very distinctive feature, that is

They all wore bright red costumes.

This was requested by their village chief, Chanup.

Residents of Red Moon Fortress come from all over the world. In order to eliminate everyone's differences as much as possible and prevent discrimination from happening in the Red Moon Fortress, Chanup has formulated many regulations.

Everyone wears the same color, same style of clothing—this is one of Chanup's rules.

And this "everyone wears the same color and style of clothes" regulation has indeed played a certain role.

As early as a long time ago, Ogata had been hearing about various things about the Red Moon Fortress.

Ogata's view of the Red Moon Fortress...is like looking at a person wearing a thin veil-it seems to be able to see his face, but it seems not to be able to see it.

After learning that a group of people from the Red Moon Fortress visited suddenly, Ogata's strong curiosity emerged from the bottom of his heart, wanting to see the residents of the Red Moon Fortress who had known their names for a long time.

After rushing towards Chepke with A-Ming, Ogata saw a large group of people in red from a distance.

——As Aizan said, the residents of Red Moon Fortress all wear red clothes...

As soon as Ogata thought this to himself, he realized that the young girl standing at the front of the group of men in red seemed to have spotted him and A-Ming.

The young girl said something to Chepke.

Then Chepke turned his head to look at him and Ah-Ming, then turned his head back and said something to the people in red.

Then, the people in red looked at Ogata and Atachi with eyes of different emotions.

Ogata keenly noticed that the people in red looked at him with surprise, curiosity, disappointment, and... hostility.

Ogata noticed that some of these men in red looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

In addition to their eyes, there was something else about these men in red that caught Ogata's attention.

Not only did it attract Ogata's attention, but it also attracted the attention of A-Machi.

Among the more than 40 men in red, more than ten of them were not carrying bows on their backs.

Instead, he was carrying a weapon that was quite familiar to both Ogata and A-Machi—a musket.

From the shape point of view, it is not an old-fashioned musket like a matchlock gun. But a flintlock.

I just don't know if it is a smoothbore gun or the most advanced rifled gun.

Looking at the muskets among the men in red, Ogata narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

Soon, he and Ah Ding walked to Chepke's side and stood in front of these men in red.

"Mashima Goro, Acho, let me introduce you!" Chepke said, "This is Asuma, the daughter of Chanup, the village chief of Heyezhe. (Ainu language)"

As soon as the words fell, Chepke's expression froze.

Because he realized that Ogata and the others couldn't understand what he said just now.

Just as Chepke looked around, looking for villagers who could speak Japanese, Aisuma suddenly said:

"Hello, are you Mashima Goro? I have known you for a long time. I am Asuma."

What came out of Asuma's mouth was somewhat substandard, but still fluent Japanese.

Ogata raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Hi, I'm Goro Mashima. This is my wife--A-cho. You speak Japanese very well."

"Because I have learned from others." Aisuma showed a friendly smile, "I have heard about you from my father, have you decided to come to Heyezhe to find the couple you are looking for? "

Although the second half of Aisuma's sentence is an interrogative sentence, there is no interrogative tone in the tone.

Ogata and the others appeared in the team of Chepke and the others heading to Heyezhe——what this means, one can easily understand.

Before leading people to encircle the gold diggers, Aisuma learned from her father that the villagers of Qina Village were going to live in Heyezhe.

It was also at that time that Aisuma learned about Goro Mashima.

And learned that Mashima Goro might come to Heyezhe with the villagers of Kina Village to find a pair of Kazuto.

"Your father?" Ogata asked back.

"My father is Chanup, the village chief of Heyezhe." Aisuma replied.

——This person turned out to be Heyezhe's princess? !

Ogata couldn't help but looked Aisuma up and down several times with astonished eyes.

It is also quite impolite to look at others with such gaze all the time, so Ogata quickly withdrew the impolite gaze, and then said sternly:

"Well, that's right. My wife and I will be quarreling in Heyezhe for a while, please take care of me at that time."

"You're welcome." The friendly smile on Aisuma's face became more intense, "You are my father's guests, and we will not treat you badly."

"However, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to collect clues about the couple and people you are looking for in our Heyezhen."

"It's okay." Ogata also showed a kind smile, and said in a joking tone, "If we can't find clues from you, then we can look for clues elsewhere."

...

...

Aisuma and the others have a total of more than 40 people. With their addition, Ogata's team of only a hundred people has grown rapidly.

After Asuma and the others suddenly appeared, they rested for a while, and Ogata and the others embarked on the journey to the Red Moon Fortress again.

"Asuma."

A young man walking behind Aisuma said to Aisuma in front:

"That Mashima Goro looks ordinary."

As soon as his words fell, the young man on the other side immediately answered:

"Yeah. Looks like I'm not as strong as I am."

The image of Ogata is very different from what they imagined.

In their imagination, the person who can "save the village by himself" should have an appearance that is not easy to mess with.

And no matter how they looked at it just now, they felt that there was nothing particularly unusual about Ogata.

"Don't judge people by their appearance." Aisuma said suddenly at this time, "He may be the kind of person with extraordinary talents."

"Some people are obviously not very strong, but they are extraordinarily strong and durable."

"Isn't Tanaibo such a person?"

Tanaibo - a young hunter of their Heyezh.

He is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and has an ordinary appearance, but he is extraordinarily powerful, with excellent physical strength and endurance. He is one of the best hunters of Heyezhe.

After hearing what Aisuma said, the people around nodded their heads one after another, showing expressions of "Well, that makes sense".

But at this moment, a young man who hadn't spoken since just now turned his head to look at Aisuma:

"...Asuma. Since Mashima Goro and his wife are in this team...then I think it is necessary to remind Otane and the others not to do unnecessary things."

"When I met that Mashima Goro for the first time just now, I noticed that Otane and the others looked at that Mashima Goro and his wife with... not very friendly eyes."

When talking about the word "reminder" and the name "Otane", the young man specially emphasized his tone.

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Aisuma frowned.

"... That's true." Aisuma sighed softly, "It is indeed necessary to remind Otane and the others not to mess around... Where are Otane and the others?"

"They seem to be lagging behind," someone replied.

"Well, good. I'll come back as soon as I go."

After saying that, Asuma quickly trotted towards the rear.

Soon, she found the figure she was looking for.

"Otane," Isuma called.

A young man in front of Aisuma turned his head and looked expressionlessly at Aisuma who was running towards him.

The same people who turned their heads to look at Aisuma, and several young people around his age standing around Otane.

"Aisuma." The young man called "Otane" by Aisuma asked back in a calm tone, "Is there something wrong?"

"Otane."

Aisuma looked around - there happened to be no outsiders around.

After confirming the surrounding environment, Aisuma lowered her voice, and said quietly to Otane:

"When I met that Mashima Goro for the first time just now...you looked at Mashima Goro and his wife with unfriendly eyes, am I right?"

Otane did not answer immediately, but continued to look straight at Isuma.

Seeing that Otane did not respond, Asuma went on to say:

"That Mashima Goro and his wife are the ones who saved Kina Village. And they are also my father's guests."

"Don't do anything weird to Mashima Goro and his wife."

Aisuma's "reminder" was straightforward, without any euphemism, and without unnecessary nonsense.

After hearing Asuma's reminder, Otane's expression remained unchanged.

After a moment of silence, he said quietly:

"...Aisuma, you should know why the few of us stayed in Heyezhe, right?"

Otane looked at the young people next to him—these young people were fellow villagers with him.

"It is because our village participated in the battle of Kunasili Menasi two years ago."

"We were defeated by Heren, and countless people were killed by Heren."

Otane's voice lowered a little.

"Only a very small number of people managed to escape and fled to Heyezhe..."

"Do you think we can look at that Mashima Goro and his wife with kind eyes?"

"...I can understand your feelings." Aisuma frowned, "but..."

Before Asuma finished speaking, Otane raised his hand to signal Asuma to stop talking.

"Aisuma, stop talking."

"We know that."

"It was Chanup who took us homeless after losing the war."

"We will not do anything that would displease Chanup."

"So we're not going to do anything to Chanup's guests."

"But—don't expect us to put on a good face about that Mashima Goro."

"...I see." Aisuma nodded, "As long as you don't do anything out of line, the rest is up to you."

After finishing speaking, Aisuma stopped talking to Otane, turned around and left.

...

...

Among the group of Ogata and the others, there were quite a few wounded, old and weak women and children, so not only did they not walk fast, but they also walked for a short time.

After walking for more than 2 hours and arriving at a place that is more suitable for rest, I stopped and began to rest on the spot.

When the team stopped to rest, Chepke suddenly called a young man from their village.

"Come on, send this to Heyezhe's people." Chepke handed a large jar to the young man.

"This is?" the young man asked back.

"It's dried meat." Chepke said with a smile, "They are also our guests, so we can't neglect our guests too much."

"You send these jerky over there, and then tell them—this is what our Qina Village invited them to eat, please be sure to accept it and eat more."

"Well, good!" The young man nodded vigorously, then quickly ran towards the direction where Aisuma and the others were holding the jar of jerky.

...

...

at the same time--

"Ahili, where are you going?"

Ashley's grandmother asked loudly to Ashley who was leaving in a hurry.

"Just now Hippari invited me to go and make some of the prey's meat into jerky!"

After leaving these words, Ahili walked away quickly without looking back.

Looking at the figure of Ashley leaving, grandma curled her lips with a little displeasure.

"Really... If you have the time to make jerky with others, it's better to learn how to weave cloth and make clothes..."

In Grandma's eyes, Ahili is good at everything.

But there is only one thing that is very bad.

That's Ashley's weaving skills, it's terrible.

Grandma felt that the cloth she wove with her feet was more beautiful than the one Heilly wove with her hands.

In Ainu society, "whether the cloth is well woven" is one of the important criteria for judging whether a woman is a good woman.

So Ashley's poor weaving skills have always made grandma worry...

And Ashley is a girl who has no interest in weaving. I would rather do all kinds of messy things than learn how to weave.

This made grandma even more worried...

Grandma swept the snow off a big rock next to her and sat on it.

Looking around with no one around her, grandma let out a long sigh with a lonely face.

Since his husband passed away and his son disappeared in the "disappearance incident", the original family of five has become a family of three with only her, daughter-in-law and Ashley left.

After his son disappeared, the originally lively home suddenly became deserted.

And after her son disappeared, grandma felt lonely more often than before because of the absence of a companion.

At this moment, the daughter-in-law has something to do.

And Ahili also ran to make jerky with others just now.

Now grandma is the only one left doing nothing...

Grandma has only two hobbies - weaving and chatting.

The current environment does not have the conditions for weaving.

But now her daughter-in-law and granddaughter are not here, and there is no one to chat with her.

Since getting older, for some reason, grandma feels lonely more and more easily.

The strong sense of loneliness submerged and crushed grandma like a rising tide, making grandma's already rickety back even more rickety...

At this moment, grandma suddenly heard a series of footsteps.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound of footsteps - he saw a young man running hurriedly with a jar of things in his arms.

"Hello!" The lonely grandma stopped the young man, "What is that thing in your arms?"

"It's dried meat!" The young man stopped, "The village chief just told me to give this altar of dried meat to He Yezhe!"

The young man briefly told his grandma the task of "delivering jerky" that Chepke had just given him.

After learning what was in the jar and what the young man was up to, grandma put on a thoughtful look.

After pondering for a moment, grandma stood up.

"Let me help you deliver the jerky." Grandma said.

"Huh?" The young man looked surprised.

Before he had time to say anything more, grandma went on to say:

"I just happen to have nothing to do right now, and sending jerky can just pass some time."

"This...isn't that good." The young man showed hesitation.

"What's wrong." Grandma walked up to the young man quickly, "Don't underestimate me, I'm not old enough to even move a jar. Come, give the jar to me."

Under the strong request of grandma, the young man half pushed and half handed the jar to grandma.

"Look! This weight can't crush me."

"Let me deliver it." The young man smiled wryly. "Anyway, I happen to have nothing to do right now, so I will continue to deliver it."

Grandma shook her head: "Since you are so worried about me, then you can go with me to deliver jerky."

Speaking of this, grandma paused for a moment, then changed into a slightly melancholy tone:

"I'm actually just looking for something to do..."

"My daughter-in-law and granddaughter are busy with things now."

"It's just me sitting alone on the rock."

"I hate this feeling of being alone and having nothing to do..."

"Only by finding something to do can make me feel better..."

Looking at the lonely look on grandma's face, the expression on the young man's face froze.

The words of refusing grandma's help that had already been brewed were all stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it no matter what.

"...Okay then." After a moment of contemplation, the young man said slowly, "Then you and I can deliver the jerky together. If your arms feel sore or something is wrong, remember to tell me in time."

Hearing the young man's words, grandma immediately beamed with joy.

"Okay!"

Grandma strode forward with a big jar full of jerky in her arms.

And the young man followed closely behind him, ready to take over from grandma to hold the big jar at any time.

...

...

After Ogata and the others stopped to rest, the group of Asuma who was traveling with Ogata and the others also stopped, and then rested in their own favorite ways.

Some leaned directly against something and began to take a nap.

Some wiped their weapons boredly.

But the vast majority of people gathered together and started chatting casually there.

"Speaking of which—" suddenly, a certain young man said, "When Mashima Goro saved this Kina village, how many white-skinned men did he kill? I found that there seem to be many versions... I The most-heard version is that Mashima Goro chopped more than 60 white-skinned men."

"Huh? Did that Mashima Goro kill so many people?" Aisuma raised her eyebrows, "Didn't they only kill about 40 people?"

"You are all wrong. This is the correct version. How could Goro Mashima kill so many people? He only killed 20 people at most."

"If only 20 people were beheaded, how could it be possible to repel so many white-skinned men? That Goro Mashima also beheaded at least 70 people, okay?"

...

The young man who was the first to ask "How many white-skinned men Mashima Goro killed?" looked at his companions who were arguing fiercely in front of him with a dazed expression.

He never expected that the question he raised casually would trigger such a big debate...

Ai Suma is also confused now.

The reason why Asuma was confused was not because a big controversy suddenly broke out.

It's because she didn't know until now that there are so many versions of "Mashima Goro Killing People"... From 20 people to more than 100 people, there are any numbers...

"Okay, stop arguing!" Finally, someone stood up and shouted loudly.

The man's voice was so loud that it overwhelmed everyone's voice.

Everyone stopped arguing and turned to look at this person.

"There's no point in arguing like this." The man then shouted, "Let's find a villager in Kina Village and ask him: How many white-skinned men did Mashima Goro kill?"

"In this way, we can know whose version is correct!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, the people around him nodded one by one after looking at each other for a while.

"It's true... let's find a villager in Qina Village and ask."

"But it seems to me that many of the villagers in China Village are very busy..."

"Does anyone have friends in China?"

At this moment, a young male voice that was unfamiliar to all of them sounded:

"That... May I ask who is Asuma?"

Everyone followed the prestige - only to see two uninvited guests standing not far from them.

The two uninvited guests were Ahili's grandmother who came to deliver the dried meat, and the young man.

And the person who asked who Ai Suma was was the young man.

All eyes were on the boy and grandma. And Aisuma got up immediately, showing that she was Aisuma.

Afterwards, the young man hugged the altar of jerky into grandma's arms, and handed it to Aisuma, expressing that it was a gift from their Qina village, and asked them to accept it and eat as much as they wanted.

Aisuma politely declined a few times, but despite the young man's strong request, she still accepted the altar of jerky.

"The two of you came just in time!" At this moment, a certain young man suddenly said, "Are you two free?"

The "two people" in the young man's mouth refers to the grandma and the young man.

And this young man was the one who proposed to go to a villager in China Village to ask "how many white-skinned men did Mashima Goro kill?"

"What's wrong?" Grandma asked the young man.

The young man said: "We have heard about Goro Mashima assisting your village to repel the white man."

"But we don't know exactly what happened."

"If you two are free, can you tell us how that Mashima Goro dealt with those white-skinned men, and how many white-skinned men he killed?"

Grandma gave a soft "oh".

"I see. Then you have found the right person."

Grandma showed a somewhat smug smile.

"I happen to be free right now."

"And I'm quite familiar with Mashima Goro."

After all, grandma walked to a big rock not far away, cleaned up the continuation on it, and then sat down on it.

Seeing that the grandma was willing to tell them about Goro Mashima in detail, the people around him, including Aisuma, all turned their attention to grandma.

"This mother-in-law." The young man who just asked grandma and the young man if they were free and would like to tell them about Mashima Goro said anxiously, "Can you tell us how many whites that Mashima Goro beheaded?" The leather man? Did he behead a hundred white men?"

This young man is a supporter of the version of "Mashima Goro beheaded hundreds of white-skinned men".

Hearing the young man's words, grandma smiled.

Then he said quietly:

"100 white-skinned people? Then you really underestimated that Goro Mashima."

After grandma's voice fell, everyone present showed shocked expressions.

What? It turns out that Mashima Goro killed more than a hundred people? !

Not only Aisuma and the others were taken aback.

The young man who came to deliver the jerky with his grandma was also taken aback.

Mother-in-law, what are you talking about—the young man asked grandma with his eyes.

As a young man who also participated in the fight against the white-skinned people, he knew very well that there were not even 100 white-skinned people who attacked their village that night...

The fifth work of the famous Japanese-style horror game series - Zero series: "Zero: Ruya no Miko" will be available on all platforms this year.

For this game, I have also admired the name for a long time, and I have always wanted to play it. Because this series has always been exclusive to PS2 or Nintendo's wii machine, it has been unplayable.

I plan to take advantage of the opportunity of "Zero·Ruya no Miko" to log on to all platforms, play this game well, and record a video by the way, and send it to station B, so that everyone can see me in the face of ghosts, and look calm in danger.

So I decided to warm up yesterday, and went to Station B to watch the famous "Zero Red Butterfly" strategy video.

Then last night I couldn't sleep...

The female ghost's laughter played in my mind over and over again... When I woke up in the morning, I felt like I was going to have a nervous breakdown... (Leopard headache and crying)

But there is one thing to say, the story design of "Zero Red Butterfly" is very well designed. When I saw the final ending, looking at the red butterflies flying all over the sky, I really had mixed feelings. I recommend you to watch "Zero Red Butterfly" Red Butterfly" strategy video or plot explanation video.

And the ending song of "Zero Red Butterfly" - "Butterfly" by Tsukiko Amano is also very nice. If you listen to this song after watching the plot of "Zero Red Butterfly", you will have a new listening experience.

What? You say I'm dragging you into the water?

You think too much~ I just want to give you Amway good things, I definitely don’t want you to sleep like me~~
