Chapter 2058 - Bolder
If Haru didn't remind Kuro Usagi about Izayoi, then she might forget about Izayoi, who had been left in the jungle alone.
"I'm sorry!" Kuro Usagi directly apologized to Izayoi since she had forgotten Izayoi.
Not only Kuro Usagi, but everyone except for Haru forgot about Izayoi who came with them.
As for Shirayuki-hime, Haru knew that this woman didn't have an interest in human beings, especially the one that was weaker than her and Izayoi was included in that list. She was also his maid so all of her focus had been on Haru, trying to see who he was and why she felt a deep connection with him.
Still, Haru could see some change in Izayoi, especially when Izayoi didn't get angry at Kuro Usagi, who had forgotten about him. He could see that Izayoi was looking at him, but he ignored him since to him, Izayoi had lost this qualification to enter his eyes and this guy was just another background character.
However, Haru had to admit that Izayoi still realized his position so Izayoi didn't cause trouble, but even so, he understood that Izayoi was frustrated by how powerless he was.
Still, it had nothing to do with Haru. After all, it was Izayoi's fault to provoke him.
When Izayoi was left alone in the jungle, there were a lot of things on his mind. He wasn't stupid, or rather, his IQ was high, but even so, his situation made him unable to accept reality for a while. If he still had his power, then even if he acted arrogantly, no one would say anything, or rather, they would tolerate him since he had power.
Even if it sounded cruel, the world would be cruel toward the people without talent, connection, or wealth. They needed to bleed so much if they wanted to live a better life.
Izayoi knew that there was one thing that he could do to get his power back, but even so, he didn't want to do it. Even though he had lost his power, he still maintained his pride. He knew it was stupid, but he just wanted to prove that he could do well even without power.
If Haru knew what Izayoi was thinking, he wouldn't be that surprised.
After all, young people had always wanted to prove that they were special. They were different from other people and they could do anything. It was also because of that belief that young people had a better chance to be better than the older people who had already been satisfied with their situation so they didn't try to change.
However, at the same time, it was also because of this trait that the young people were more reckless than anyone since they often went blind and didn't understand their situation well.
If Izayoi apologized to Haru, then Haru might return Izayoi's power back, but this guy didn't say anything so Haru also didn't say anything.
After they picked Izayoi, they walked together to the Little Garden together, and Kuro Usagi waved her hand excitedly when she saw a green-haired boy, who was sitting on the stone bench.
"Master Jin, I have brought new friends!"
"Welcome back, Kuro Usagi." The boy, whose name was Jin, strode weakly toward Kuro Usagi. He might have been waiting so long, but he didn't complain, then looked at the people behind Kuro Usagi since their number was bigger than he had expected. "Are they the ones?"
"Yes, six of them are the ones!" Kuro Usagi smiled happily, then looked at everyone. "Then, everyone, please let me guide you to the Little Garden!"
They didn't say much and nodded while observing the gate in front of them. They could see a worn-out stone gate, but its size was so massive, which made them wonder what was inside. With Kuro Usagi and Jin as their guides, they entered the passage that led them into the Little Garden and as they entered, they were surprised when they saw the scenery in front of them.
Asagi covered her eyes slightly and when her vision recovered, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this place similar to a medieval era?" She, who was coming from a modern world, was a bit speechless when she saw how there was someone who set up a tent in the store.
"Isn't that a bit too much?" Haru was speechless. "If I have to say then it should be similar to late 19s century or more? It wouldn't be weird to see this scene in the 21s century too, you know?"
"Really?"
"Really." Shishio looked at the sky and said, "More importantly, the sky in this place is more amazing, right?"
"Um." Yuu nodded. "It looks like we're entering a covered area, but I can see the sun."
"The coverings over the Little Garden are invisible from the inside," Shirayuki-hime said.
"Yes." Kuro Usagi nodded. "The coverings were set up for races that cannot be directly exposed to the sun."
"You say that there's a vampire here?" Asuka asked.
"Yes, there's." Kuro Usagi nodded.
"............."
"There are a variety of races living here. Gods, demons, spirits, animal-human hybrids, humans. There are a lot of agricultural areas here on the East Side so everyone's quite peaceful here," Kuro Usagi said with a smile.
'Well, I don't hate this slow pace of life sometimes.' Unlike where he lived, the East Side of the Little Garden was quite similar to the countryside, which was quite interesting, but more than that, it was also a good honeymoon place with Asagi.
"Kuro Usagi, is there any resort here?" Asagi asked curiously.
"................" Kuro Usagi and Jin.
Haru patted Asagi's waist gently and said, "Let's talk about a resort later. I want to know more about your community, Little Garden, and everything that you know since we have just arrived here." He then looked at the nearby cafe and said, "How about we have a bite there?" He saw a cute catgirl waitress in that cafe and he was quite curious about it.
"Sure. Sure." Kuro Usagi nodded. "Let me treat all of you here!" She patted her chest, showing that she was going to treat everyone.
"Are you sure? Do you have money?" Haru asked.
"D - Don't look down on Kuro Usagi! Even though our community is in a dire situation, we still have enough money to treat you all here!" Kuro Usagi said as she pouted her cheeks.
"I don't mind you treating us, but think about the feelings of the one that is being treated with your money? You have 120 children without any adults to take care of them and they have spent a long time taking water from a long distance. If you have money, isn't it better for you to use it for them?" Haru asked.
Hearing Haru's words, Yuu, Asagi, Asuka, Shiroyuki-hime, and even Izayoi also couldn't accept Kuro Usagi's treat, considering how bad the situation of the Kuro Usagi's community was.
"But..." Kuro Usagi wasn't sure what to say in this situation.
"Don't worry, I have money," Haru said and showed them the money from the Little Garden.
"Huh? How did you get them?" Kuro Usagi was surprised.
"I know a good gentleman who is willing to lend me some. I'll treat you. You can think of it as my payment to the information that you're going to tell us." Haru patted Kuro Usagi's back and pushed her to the cafe. "Come on! Come on!"
"Eh? Eh?"
Looking at Kuro Usagi who had entered Haru's pace, they also followed them. As for the source of Haru's money, they were going to leave it that he had gotten it from a kind gentleman.
As they entered the cafe, they looked into the menu and ordered the tea and cake that interest them. They also talked with the cute catgirl waitress and it seemed that the waitress could talk with Yuu's cat, which made them slightly surprised.
Still, unlike the rest of them, Kuro Usagi was quite surprised by how Asagi and Haru could accept the reality around them. "Haru-sama, Asagi-sama, is it only me, but it seems that you're not that surprised by this place?" Unlike Izayoi, Asuka, and Yuu, Haru and Asagi didn't show that much of a curiosity, or rather, she could see that even though they were amazed, they could accept the situation around them so easily.
"Well, our world isn't that ---" Before Asagi finished her words, someone suddenly caused a loud sound and interrupted her.
They frowned as they turned their heads, they saw a huge man had come and sat beside them.
"Well, if it isn't the weakest community on the East Side, the leader of the no-names, Jin-kun," the huge man said rudely.
Jin frowned and stared at this man with an uncomfortable expression. "Galdo..."
"Who are you?" Asagi didn't have a good impression of this guy.
"Hi there." The huge man looked at everyone with a confident expression and said, "I'm the leader of the Fores Garo Community, Galdo Gasper. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Should I kill him, Haruka-sama?" Shirayuki-hime asked directly and didn't even lower her voice.
Haru looked at Shirayuki-hime and thought that this woman was bolder than he had expected, but he loved it.
