Another World Awakening Transcendental Create Skill - CH 148

“Chapter 148: Shrine Maiden of the Moon”

Following Akane, we reached a small village at the top of the stairs.

About four or five small wooden houses, a well in the middle, and a bonfire being the only prominent light in the blizzard.

So, this is where Akane was born.

– This place is… kind of warm. (Takaya)

– Quite the contrary. It feels like the peak of winter all year round.

– I wasn’t talking about the weather.

A voice coming from the direction of one of the houses interrupted our conversation.

– UWAAAH! Mom! Sis hit me!

– I didn’t! Tobi was trying to pull a prank on me! Dad, did you see it!?

The pitter-patter of the kids running was the only ambient sound around us.

– You were saying? (Akane)

– Well, I’m sure that’s an exception. (Takaya)

– I don’t want to live here anymore! She gets away with everything! (Tobi)

– What are you talking about? You’re just gonna go cry on Akane’s lap again anyways.

– I will! Akane-sama is a much better sister than you!

A little boy with a shaved head ran out of his house.

He looks like a perfectly normal and mischievous kid, but he must be an Oni descendant just like Akane.

– Ah, for crying out loud. Come back here! You’ll bother the chief!

– Shut up! I’m not coming back home this time!

– Tobi, did you have another fight with Michihi? You promised me you wouldn’t prank her again. (Akane)

– Ugh, Akane…

Tobi’s expression turned from angry to remorseful.

– Anyways! Akane, are you allowed to be out by yourself? Where are Souji and Kihachirou?

– They’re back already. And so should you. Come on, apologize to Michihi.

As Tobi hung his head, he noticed the two strangers behind Akane.

– Hmmm, who are you?

– Uhh, those are… some friends.

– We are Akane’s family. We used to live together with Akane. (Mike)

– Y-You lived t-together!?

Oh no. Something bad is coming. I can feel it.

– Uhh… Tobi-ku- (Takaya)

– AKANE HAS A BOYFRIEND! SHE BROUGHT HER BOYFRIEND AND CHILD TO THE VILLAGE!!!!!

My experience with this village has been questionable so far.
