The only threat along the way is the orcs.

Yoshihiro successfully escorted the three of them to this seaside port city. After receiving the reward, he started acting alone.

This is a large city in the ancient Western style.

As soon as you enter the city gate, you can see the extremely splendid cathedral with an angel statue high up.

Yi Xing hasn't seen so many people together in a long time.

Therefore, the atmosphere here really cheered him up.

Seagull Harbor, just like its name, there are always seagulls flying in the sky.

In the distance, you can already hear the roar of the sea.

The entire city is built on sea water.

You can see bridges and waterways connecting the land everywhere.

A large number of ships float and travel in the canal, which is full of sea water.

From time to time, you can see large and small airships and air cavalry flying through the sky.

Flying dragon, griffon, pegasus.

Yoshiyuki raised his head to admire the rare spectacle on earth, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

Magical robots—or psychic robots—can also be seen occasionally.

In order to save energy, they stay put and look like statues.

Looking at these robots, Yoshiyuki even felt that these things were simply decorative statues.

There are many people to ask here.

With hope in mind, Yoshiyuki began to ask people about Asakura, Yukikaze Maru and other companions.

The result made him quite excited - although no one knew where Da Gouzi and others were, new information about Asakura was constantly coming.

However, the city is so big that it would be difficult to find her in one day.

Therefore, after Yoshiyuki collected enough information, he found a cheap hotel frequented by sailors to stay and sorted out the current inquiries.

The information currently known is as follows.

1: It is certain that she is Sachiko Asakura. Because there is a person who always sells her bread and remembers her name. She said that Asakura has been coming here almost every day since two months ago, and only buys the bread that is on sale at night. Often.

I will also order free side dishes from them.

Being so shameless is actually very similar to Asakura in Yoshiyuki's impression.

2: Asakura worked as a boat tracker on the beach before. The time is unknown. But if you go to the port and ask, you should be able to find out something.

3: Asakura participated in the 10th anniversary celebration held by a fast food restaurant a week ago. The event she participated in was to run a pig-carrying marathon. She may have been ranked. After finding out the name of the store, you can go to the store to ask her about her situation.

4: Asakura seems to have been working at a construction site for two weeks. The construction site is still there. You can go and ask her about her situation.

5: Asakura once worked as a model, but she only appeared on stage once because she refused to sign a long-term contract. I didn’t find out what company hired her.

6: Asakura also worked as a waiter in a restaurant. But he was fired because he beat up a customer. If you find out the name of the restaurant, you can go and investigate.

7: People often see Asakura picking up glass bottles, tin cans and other rubbish to sell. Maybe you can go to the waste recycling department and ask about the situation.

8: Asakura often does some work such as delivering letters and food. Because she is fast and steady, she is highly praised. Maybe you can go to the post office and major restaurants to ask her about her situation.

9: Asakura has also been inquiring about the whereabouts of his companions. Especially Yukikaze Maru.

She described Yi Xing as a tall black-haired girl who might call herself a boy but basically had no breasts. This made Yi Xing angry and found it difficult to object.

In addition, Asakura's current image also needs attention.

Because she has actually grown long hair.

So she has been in Jiuyuan Township for more than two months.

…

Hair generally grows one centimeter per month.

Then it will take at least half a year for her to change from short hair to long hair, right?

Has Asakura really been here for so long?!

Or……

What medication did she take to promote hair growth?

It’s impossible no matter how you think about it!

If the Scarf Ninja has really been here for so long, then Yoshiyuki has a hard time imagining how early the other companions could have come here.

Um……

Yoshiyuki looked at what he had sorted out so far and fell into deep thought.

…

What should I say...

Asakura's job is really complicated...

...Why are there no witness records from the past few days?

Moreover, the person who always sells Asakura bread also said that she has not seen her buying it recently...

Nothing will happen, right?

Yi Xing is deeply worried.

He hoped Asakura just left the city.

As for why she stayed for so long before leaving, Yi Xing had many ideas.

He felt that the most likely possibility was that she knew where a certain companion was, so she set out to confirm the authenticity.

In addition... it is also possible that she gathered enough money to buy a mount and other necessary things for the journey, and then set out like Yi Xing to look for companions and even a portal to go home.

Yoshiyuki has also considered whether Asakura should look for a solution to the strange dream syndrome.

But as soon as he thinks that half a year has passed since they disappeared...Yi Xing feels deeply anxious.

If half a year has passed...then what will happen to the strange dream syndrome?

Is human society finished?

No, no, you have to think on the bright side.

Yi Xing comforted himself in this way.

Maybe they have found a solution to the strange dream syndrome!

Well, that must be the case.

Anyway... let’s start looking for it from here tomorrow!

Yoshiyuki opened the map of Haiou Port that he bought and drew a circle on a location with a pen.

That was the construction site where Asakura worked.

Here is the closest one.

Yi Xing prepared to go to bed early.

In this kind of room alone, he can't help but want to look at sexy pictures late at night.

In order to resist this temptation, it is of course best to go to bed as early as possible.

However, lying on the bed, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Whether it was outside the window or downstairs, it was extremely noisy.

The loud noises made by the sailors and the clinking of glasses were enough to drive away any sleepiness and give Yi Xing a strong desire to join them.

Putting aside the rum and whiskey, at least the mead and beer in the big wooden cups smelled so sweet.

Even the righteous act of not drinking makes me feel itchy.

He didn't ask, but that beer was definitely not brewed solely from wheat.

There must be something else added in it to give it the aroma of fruits and nuts.

But the reason why he couldn't sleep was more than that.

You'll be able to meet your companions soon.

This really made him extremely excited.

Moreover, he had a premonition.

That means finding Asakura is not far from finding Yukikaze Maru.

Yi Xing lay on the bed for a long time before falling asleep.

He dreamed of a white-haired girl whose hands and feet were imprisoned by cylindrical metal shackles with iron chains and a metal collar around her neck, sitting on her knees in the church tower, with her back to the huge round stained glass window.

The girl slowly turned back and looked at him.

That was someone Yoshihiro had never seen before.

...but her face made him miss her deeply.
