There are no demons under the waterfall and no monsters inside the dangerous area. After countless disappointments, Izayoi Sakamaki had to admit that he was the most mysterious "monster" in the world.
Even though he only understood a little bit about this little garden, the magnificent view at the end of the world before him made him feel it was worth it.
…I really want to jump down the waterfall and have an adventure on my own terms.
Izayoi Sakamaki suppressed the throbbing in his heart. Although he claimed to be a rude, vicious, and hedonistic useless person, that was before he met Canary.
After Canary's guidance, his philosophy of doing things changed a little bit.
Restraint was ingrained into his soul.
After Canary's death, he was ready to never use his power again and to be a rotten person in the world forever.
Ordinary life is becoming more and more boring day by day, but even if it is boring, Izayoi Sakamaki will never use her own power to destroy this seemingly fragile human civilization.
The meaning of life, the meaning of civilization... Canary gave everything she understood to Izayoi Sakamaki, and Izayoi Sakamaki used these as shackles to firmly lock up his uncommon side.
After accepting the invitation to the Little Garden, Izayoi Sakamaki wants to have fun.
If this rabbit in front of me doesn't give me a reasonable explanation, I, Izayoi Sakamaki, will jump from the end of the world.
Could there be a monster down there with its mouth wide open, plotting to devour the world?
It would be great if there was.
After discovering that Izayoi Sakamaki had left the main group, Black Rabbit chased him at full speed and arrived at the scene when he was fighting the Water God at the end of the world.
It was simple and good that Black Rabbit talked for a few words, and Izayoi Sakamaki sighed in disappointment.
——Obaa-san, you are a jerk.
Canary, you bastard, you told me that you don't want to involve me in her career? I see you don't tell the truth?
In addition to giving me the right to decide whether to come to the small garden, have you given me any other choice?
What Izayoi Sakamaki suspected before was that Black Rabbit was obviously quite powerful, but was still bullied by him and the other two women, and even lost the game...
But when the black rabbit was looking for him, she did not continue to hide her strength. In other words, this rabbit hid her strength not to plot against anyone, but because she just wanted to be bullied.
...What a sucker rabbit!
According to Black Rabbit, her community was impoverished. Because they had provoked the Demon King, all their companions were taken away, and the community also lost its name. Only a hundred or so children were left, and she was barely supporting them.
Although it was difficult, she did not want to give up. She wanted to protect this community until the day her companions returned.
Izayoi Sakamaki's heart tightened and he thought to himself, it's over, he's been tricked again.
The rabbit in front of him looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, with an expression of 'I'm miserable, come and help me'... Izayoi Sakamaki was not the kind person who would be so kind as to do something like this.
But the problem is...
Protruding!
Canary, you old lady, are you ambushing me here?
Recalling that Canary founded the organization 'CANARIA Foster Home', in addition to adopting him, she also adopted many children with special powers.
Similar to Homura Saigo and Suzuka Ayari, they are all treated as family members by Izayoi Sakamaki.
This is what the invitation to the small garden said.
If you wish to test your own gifts and talents, I hope you will abandon your family, friends, property, and everything in the world and come to my small garden.
When Izayoi Sakamaki first received the invitation, she simply dismissed it.
——Then I received the test from the Canary, a real battle with gods, and there was a possibility that I might not pass it.
After winning the battle, I received Canary's advice, which I will simply translate... The small garden is very dangerous. You have to decide for yourself whether to go or not.
So he came.
But after playing with Canary so much, Izayoi Sakamaki has now realized that this is clearly a provocation. It is not intended to interfere with his decision, but to make him focus on the dangers in the little garden and ignore his family to a certain extent.
With the thought that 'the new world will be fun, I, Izayoi Sakamaki, must go and have fun', he would naturally care whether it was inhumane for him to abandon his family.
But holding on to the thought that 'the new world is full of crises, I, Izayoi Sakamaki, am excited, but I may also die'... it is also an act of abandoning one's family, but it is more about Izayoi Sakamaki choosing the path he wants to take, so the psychological burden will be much smaller.
Black Rabbit ambushed him here.
Oh, the only ones left in my community are my children!
Oh, I have to maintain this community and wait for my companions to come back!
Two slashes of the sword, each one cut into Izayoi Sakamaki's heart.
Izayoi stared at Black Rabbit, and was sure that Black Rabbit was just acting her true self. Her cuteness was not an act, and it was probably all planned by that old lady.
In the foster home, the children who are regarded as family by Izayoi Sakamaki have one thing in common - they are all raised by Canary.
The destroyed community of Black Rabbit is probably the community where Canary once lived, right?
He didn't know about Canary's experience in the small garden, but temperament didn't lie. With Canary's confidence and bearing, she must have had a high status in the small garden. According to Black Rabbit, her community was once very large, but was destroyed by the Demon King.
It is most likely that this is the community where the canary stayed, and only the children were left.
As soon as Black Rabbit said that, Izayoi Sakamaki immediately thought of the foster home, and then thought of how he abandoned Homura and Suzuka and came to the Little Garden.
At his age, leaving home to start his own business can't be said to be a shame to anyone...but he does feel a little guilty.
Izayoi Sakamaki can vaguely see the fox face of Canary in Black Rabbit.
...No name, there are only a hundred kids left, will you help? It's up to you, I don't care!
I don’t care about anything!
And, most importantly.
Black Rabbit (determined face): I must maintain the community and wait for my companions to come back.
Canary: Ah, I'm dead.
Izayoi Sakamaki watched Canary die on her hospital bed.
——Waiting for companions to come back? Waiting for wool.
In any case, Canary will definitely not come back... Of course, Izayoi Sakamaki also knows that Black Rabbit may have many companions, and if one or two of them died, Black Rabbit may just be sad.
But Canary could also guess that he could guess that Canary used this as a bargaining chip, which meant that Canary was extremely important to Black Rabbit.
——The rabbit in front of me must have a very close connection with the canary.
The phantom of Canary's foxy face reappeared before him.
...You're curious about the relationship between Black Rabbit and me? Then go investigate!
You can now treat me as an ordinary community member who has a normal relationship with Black Rabbit. It's not too late to ignore this abnormality.
Izayoi Sakamaki fell into self-reflection. Why did he have to have a brain? If he didn't have a brain and couldn't read the canary's hint, he would have been running around in the box garden and having a blast.
He decided not to ask about Canary for the time being. Otherwise, if he let the rabbit in front of him know that Canary was dead...she would definitely cry for a long time?
He would first sneak into the community, and then spend more time to find a way to investigate the information about Canary in the box garden.
Damn, you beat me again.
And you run away after winning, what a despicable person.
Izayoi Sakamaki was feeling unhappy. The joy of beating up the water god and seeing the end of the world suddenly faded a little.
It was still the familiar feeling, and the familiar formula. After coming to the small garden, Canary was still trying to trick him.
It seemed like the right to choose was given to him. Canary didn't ask him to come to the small garden, nor did she ask him to take care of No Name...but he had no right to choose.
Doesn't Canary know what kind of character he is?
impossible.
...
There were still some doubts in her heart, but overall, Izayoi Sakamaki was satisfied with Black Rabbit's explanation.
This logically explained the situation of her hiding her strength, and the situation of the community she mentioned resonated somewhat with that of Izayoi Sakamaki, making him suspect that Canary did it on purpose.
He had some doubts because he hadn't seen the true situation of No Name yet, and seeing is believing.
only……
"Why...why did you come into contact with the leader of [Forces Garo] in such a short time and cause a direct declaration of war against the other party?"
"And the game date is tomorrow."
"We have to fight in the enemy's territory!"
“There is simply no time or financial resources to prepare.”
"What on earth were you thinking to become like this?!"
After returning to the city with Izayoi Sakamaki, Black Rabbit was stunned when he learned about the actions of Kuon Asuka and Kasukabe Yō.
I've only been away for a short while, and you've already caused me a big... not-so-small trouble?
Izayoi Sakamaki on the side stepped forward with a thief's smile and said, "What does it matter? They just found a random community to declare war on, so just forgive them!"
Izayoi Sakamaki thought to himself that, according to the two girls, that community kidnapped the children of other communities, used them to threaten other communities to risk their flags, and ate all the kidnapped children... This also touched his reverse scale.
and……
Izayoi Sakamaki stared at the two girls in front of her with empty eyes.
...I really admire your courage.
Do you know anything about sandplay? Would you dare to accept a game proposed by a stranger without doing any research?
Yes, from what I heard from your description, the leader of the other community is a loser, but that doesn’t mean that everyone in the other community is a loser, right?
As you all know, no name was once the largest community in the Eastern District, and Forces Garo was targeting no name.
As soon as you arrived at the Little Garden, the other party came to recruit you... Didn't you consider that this might be a former enemy of No Name supporting Forces Garo? Didn't you consider that there might be some elite fighters behind a useless leader? Didn't you consider what would happen if you lost the game?
Ladies, please be more careful!
Can you please be more awed by the new world?
Black Rabbit said that this is the paradise of gods and Buddhas. Do you think that you are in your original world and can be invincible by relying on your own grace?
Izayoi Sakamaki felt that the qualities of his two companions...could not be called Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick, but at least they were Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.
Izayoi Sakamaki sighed in his heart, well, he could take this opportunity to see what the real gift game is like.
