soon as you admire this stone too much, it will plunge you to your death: thus I finish this letter, doomed man. "It was signed by a certain J. Kokuo.And that was the name of the king. But I think that's utter nonsense. While there is evidence, I don't think so. It's just a stupid stone that glitters stupidly around! "he explained while he ate his pudding now and then. Shinyu sipped her iced coffee eagerly." Wow, that was really good! You have to become an author! How long have you been living here? "" Huh ...? I didn't make that up! Jidai - Okure told me! He's told me so many times before, and yet I haven't been able to keep it until now, after two years. "" So you've been living here for two years? This village is relatively normal, except that she worships a stone, but the landscape around it ...? "Shinyu said, shaking his head." I know ... Should I show you the country beyond the city gates? So not where things go downhill. But the area behind Sherrington Field, "asked Kami." Of course I'll come with you! "! Shinyu replied with her smile again.
"The blacksmith Tanzo, the arms dealer Ya, some restaurants, writing tools seller Kaku, and and and ...!"Kami explained as they walked through the streets to the" back door "of Sherrington Field." Passport please! ", said the beefy man in front of the gate. He wore heavy armor and a lance." Oh, Tsuwa, you should know by now that I can go through! ", Kami grumbled and pulled out a yellow paper the size of a driver's license. Tsuwa's pig's eyes darted over the paper." Okay, you can go through! "" Why do you need an extra pass? "Shinyu asked." Oh, this place is said to be studded with miraculous flowers with holy flowers. Our business needs these so that some of our talismans have their miraculous power. These flowers are kneaded into the raw material, then they bring luck and what do I know what, "explained Kami." These red ones here or what? "said Shinyu, bending down to a small flower with fiery red petals." a, how do you know? Your name is Hanabira. But most consider the gold or silver tsubomi to be magical and sacred!", Kami wondered." You know, I felt a certain magical aura with this type of plant ... The others are just for decoration, "Shinyu replied." Oh ...? Pick a few. The old man will be able to use them afterwards, "said Kami. Shinyu enthusiastically picked around twenty flowers, which she tied into a bouquet with a ribbon. Kami picked fewer, but at least ten flowers. Kami and Shinyu went back through the alleys to the Store of Kami and Jidai - Okure. In front of the store stood an old man with long, gray hair. His beard was almost as long as his hair and large, bushy eyebrows affected his eyesight. "Oh, Master Jidai - Okure! I picked magical hanabira! And brought it with you! ", Kami matured and ran to the man who was apparently Jidai - Okure. Shinyu ran after Kami and bowed to the old man." My name is Shinyu Mishimoto. Kami told me only good things about her. It's an honor to meet you!"" Oho, what a very well behaved girl. Well Kami, it seems that our Shinyu collected the flowers here and not you, "laughed the old man. But before Kami could throw anything in, Shinyu said:" Oh what! That was fun. At least that's how I see something of this city! "" Well, if that is the case? Then, if you feel like it, you could accompany Kami into the forest right away. There he has to bring me water from the river of miracles called "Sawa"! ", grinned Jidai - Okure." Oh no ... ", Kami grumbled. But Shinyu said enthusiastically:" Yes, of course. I really enjoy doing that! "" I only have one horse. You'd have to share that ... ", mumbled Jidai - Okure and scratched his chin." No thanks, I'll ask Keikan if he'll lend me stupid. I'll be right back! "Shinyu said, and ran to the outskirts of town to the police library. It was a large building with a wooden sign in front of it. It was neatly carved: Sherrington Field Police Library.Fool was tied to this sign and was comfortably chewing the grass from the green area that was laid out in front of the library. Another thing hung on the sign: Forbidden to unauthorized persons! Shinyu knocked on the large oak door of the building. “Yes?” A familiar face peeked out from behind it. "Oh, it's you, Shinyu! I would like to let you in, but you can see ..." Keikan nodded in the direction of the sign that read: "Forbidden to unauthorized persons". "Oh. Can I borrow stupid? I'm going with Kami, the intern from this magic shop on the outskirts of town, into the valley to fetch water from the wonderful Sawa River," Shinyu asked with her dog eye. "Yes, of course, take him with you. You have to be careful, he is sometimes stubborn as a donkey," answered Keikan and tied the idiot from the shield and handed the reins to Shinyu. "Take good care of yourself and him, the strangest things have already happened!", He called after her, as Shinyu swung himself nimbly onto the horse and started riding.Kami was already standing in the market square in front of the fountain, waiting for her. "May I introduce: Nansensu, my master's horse!" "May I introduce you, idiot! The horse of my good friend Keikan!", Shinyu replied and patted the idiot on the neck. "Stupid, what a stupid name!" Kami scoffed. Shinyu gave him a cold look: "Do you think Nansensu is better?" "II didn't say anything ..."
Idiot and Nansensu trotted comfortably to the gates, where Fushin greeted them warmly. "Shinyu, I see you're going out with a fool!" "Yes, and with two horses," laughed Shinyu. "Hey! What do you mean?", Kami protested. But Shinyu dismissed it with a low chuckle and rode up with the idiot.
"Where do we have to go anyway?" Shinyu asked when Kami caught up with her. "Well, from the path we are on now, there are so many branches that you don't even look through it at first, but it's actually quite simple. The path to this river is only accessible for certain people.Namely those who can solve this riddle. The only thing that is given is a word. Sawa. Which number is most similar to Sawa? San
(San = three). Then you have to know where in this third path. Saga ni. So at the end of the third path. You just have to find out which page it is. But you have to think a little bit. It's about the right hand. Migigawa. Do you notice the resemblance to Sawa? Everyone would now go to the right, but it's about where the thumb is on the right, i.e. left! Well, from above or from below? Quite simply, from above. It's so easy, you can't even think of it! Ue ni! Above! Because ue ni and Sawa both have four letters! So at the end of the third path on the left from the top! All right? ", Kami explained." Um ... no. I'll just follow you ... ", Shinyu sighed. Fool trudged after Nansensu, who was a bit unsteady on his feet as it went downhill." That was the first way! "said Kami, pointing to a golden path lined with flowers and hedges.They hadn't ridden very far yet and it wasn't particularly steep downhill. "I can count, even if you don't want to believe me! Besides, that would be way too friendly and tempting," Shinyu replied sharply. "Oh ...?" On the second path they passed, Kami said nothing. Because he already felt Shinyu's cold look on his neck. The path was a silver hue this time, and looked like it was made of precious stones. Finely worked columns could be seen and a fountain could be heard splashing in the background. So it had to be the next way ... Idiot and Nansensu were slowly getting faster because it was going so steeply downhill and Kami had to pull hard on the reins to bring Nansensu to a standstill. Fool didn't even come to a standstill. The way before which she is now
were almost impossible to call the way. The grass grew over the rotten wooden boards that served as a path and the flowers were all withered."And that's it now?" Shinyu asked uncertainly. Even if she was hardly afraid of anything, she was not entirely sure of the way. "You have to leash the idiot here, horses and other animals can't get through the barrier!", Kami explained. "Barrier?" Shinyu asked. "Yep, barrier. Only people who do not want to use it for their own purposes and have a pure heart can get through," Kami continued. Shinyu let out a barely audible, fearful "aha". "Are you ... FEAR?", Kami asked with a malicious grin. "Who? Me? I'm sure you are wrong!" Kami rolled her eyes. Shinyu tied Idiot and Nansensu by the reins to a tree that looked a little more stable than all the other withered trees. Kami pulled a small knife from his belt. He made his way through the huge grass and Shinyu followed him, careful to be able to throw himself into the grass immediately if something was scary to her. And suddenly Shinyu saw a bright veil that shone yellow like the sun."That is the barrier"; said Kami and ran his hand over the smooth surface, which was churned at the point where Kami touched it and it seemed as if the "veil" was made of water. Shinyu hesitantly touched the veil with one finger. It was also troubled with her. Then she tried to put her finger through it. Her finger felt like it was being held in warm water. She quickly pulled her finger away. Then Shinyu gathered all her courage and just ran through the barrier. For a brief moment she felt weightless and it was as if her heart and pulse had stopped beating. Her body was immersed in a warm, but also sticky liquid, as if it were being dipped in warm honey or something similar. Kami also went through calmly. The environment was very different behind the barrier. The trees were fresh and green, with flowers of various colors and shapes growing everywhere. The rotten wooden boards had turned to marble and you could think you were in paradise.Everywhere there were small fountains and pillars, which were always set up in pairs along the way. Only these pairs had the same pattern, otherwise you could always marvel at new patterns. Kami put the knife away again because the grass was nice and flat and short. "How long will it be?" Shinyu asked. Her
