Not Suspicious People

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

“Let us go! We are definitely not suspicious people!” (Lancelot)

“Enough, just walk quietly!” (Soldier)

Such an exchange could be heard from beyond the door.

“Listen well, beyond this point is before the presence of the Beast King-sama! Disrespectful attitudes will not be tolerated!” (Soldier)

Eventually, the door opened, and several men surrounded by soldiers entered the audience chamber.

“Cyan-sama, we have brought the suspicious men in question.” (Soldier)

“Thank you for your efforts.” (Cyan)

A little earlier, she had received a report from her subordinates. In the capital city, there was a group of humans who, while looking at young children, muttered things like “Haa haa… this place really is a sacred ground…” and “There are so many cute beastkin little girls… guhehehe…” with disgusting faces and words. It would be too late if an incident occurred.

Cyan regarded this group as dangerous and ordered the guards to interrogate them. Then, they claimed they had come to this country, crossing a dangerous desert, in search of a cat beastkin little girl. Her name was “Iris”. Moreover, since she had golden fur and was accompanied by two boys, it was impossible to consider them different beastkin. As a sister who adored her younger siblings, she could not overlook this and had them brought to her personally.

Cyan glared sharply at those men.

“So, what exactly have you come to this country for?” (Cyan)

“Of course, we are chasing after our beloved Iris-sama! We thought we might find some information about her here!” (Lancelot and believers)

“…What is your relationship with Iris?” (Cyan)

“She is an angel! We are her worshipping believers… members of the Iris Cult, also known as the Iris Religion! Ready, go!” (Lancelot)

For some reason, the men shouted all together in unison.

“‘Super cute! Iris-sama!’” (??)

“‘Our angel! Iris-sama!’” (??)

“‘The most in the world! We love you!’” (??)

“‘Fluffy ears are super cute!’” (??)

“‘Fluffy tail is super pretty!’” (??)

“‘Lovely, lovely, Iris-sama!’” (??)

“‘Lovely, lovely, Iris-sama!’” (??)

The room echoed with the men’s united chants.

After hearing this, Cyan said…

“Alright, put them in the prison.” (Cyan)

“W-why!?” (Lancelot)

It was true that Iris was cute like an angel, and it was understandable to want to worship her. However, Cyan had an instinct that these men gave off a dangerous scent.

“We only revere Iris-sama! We have no bad intentions whatsoever! Of course, touching her is absolutely out of the question! Yes! Lolita… No! We act according to that spirit!” (Lancelot)

“I see.” (Cyan)

“Y-you understand!?” (Lancelot)

“…One last question. If Iris said ‘Onii-chan, please give me a kiss♡,’ you would be able to firmly refuse, right?” (Cyan)

The men all averted their eyes at once.

“Throw these guys into the prison cell now!” (Cyan)

“Nooo!?” (Lancelot and believers)

While Lancelot and the Iris Cult believers were imprisoned by Cyan, Leon’s party, riding the earth ship, had reached the eastern edge of the continent. What came into view was an endless vast ocean.

“That is the sea.” (Leon)

“Big…” (Arc/Iris)

The twins were so overwhelmed at seeing the sea for the first time that they instinctively stepped back. The lakes of the Ryumel Holy Kingdom were large, but naturally, the sea far surpassed them. Even Leon, a former hero, had much to learn about the world of the sea.

*Splashhhhh!*

With a grand splash, the earthen ship plunged into the sea. This ship could not only run on land but also move without problem on water.

After running on the waves for several hours, a large island came into view ahead.

“That is the Yamato country. The birthplace of sushi that you two like.” (Leon)

“Sushi!” (Arc/Iris)

The twins’ eyes sparkled. The sushi they ate in Barbara must have been very delicious.

“Also, since it’s an island country near the sea, the seafood is fresh and even more delicious.” (Leon)

“We want to eat it!” (Arc/Iris)

The twins were already drooling. In Yamato country, in addition to food culture like sushi, there were also unique cultures and customs different from the continent. The sea they were crossing was known for very unstable weather. Therefore, in times when shipbuilding technology was undeveloped, travel was difficult. For that reason, their culture probably developed independently.

“I don’t know what it is like now, but a hundred years ago, many people had a strange hairstyle called chonmage.” (Leon)

“Chonmage?” (Arc/Iris)

“It’s like a small palm tree on top of a shaved head.” (Leon)

“Palm tree… pfft…” (Arc/Iris)

Imagining it made the twins burst out laughing together.

There was also a unique samurai culture, a novel method of suicide called harakiri, and a dangerous group called ninja.

“Harakiri?” (Arc/Iris)

“Literally, cutting your own belly to commit suicide. They say it allows you to die with honor.” (Leon)

“…?” (Arc/Iris)

The twins looked puzzled about what meaning that had. Unfortunately, Leon also could not understand. While they talked about such things, they soon reached the shore. The unstable weather did not change, and they successfully landed on the island.
