I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

"The Ainu people, whose culture is mainly fishing and hunting, once spread all over Hokkaido. From the Kamakura shogunate to the late Edo shogunate period, during the expansion of the Yamato tribe to the north, countless tragic public confrontations and national uprisings broke out between the two sides..."

"In the end, the Ainu were completely suppressed by the shogunate because they were outnumbered and their equipment was backward."

Seeing the group of Ainu people turn their heads away, Fujiwara Takumi carefully explained.

"Under the ethnic segregation policy at the end of the Shogunate, the policy of encouraging settlement in Hokkaido in the early Meiji period, and the differential treatment and forced assimilation of the "Hokkaido Old Natives Protection Law", the Ainu were forced to give up their land, language, customs, and beliefs. And way of life, education and intermarriage of the ethnic group, leading to the disappearance of most of their own culture in the long river of history."

"The branch of Lake Toya should have existed like a royal family in the Ainu at the beginning, so it can stick to the most primitive bloodlines, cultural beliefs and living habits until now."

"No wonder they hold such a great hatred for outsiders. But what about this big man who will turn into a bear..."

Just as Araki Sousuke was stroking his chin thoughtfully, the sleigh they were riding on had driven out of the forest and arrived at a suddenly open plain.

A village composed of white sloping thatched huts appeared in the eyes of the two of them.

Hearing the sound of this team returning, many Ainu people in fur coats came out of the house one after another.

In addition to their tall stature, deep facial features and dark skin, most Ainu men have thick beards, while women have "lip lines" around their lips that look like a circle of beards from a distance.

"Ichisuke, you are back!"

"Papa, do you want to catch fish by the way, I'm hungry."

"Why do you walk so strangely, are you playing some strange game?"

Several six or seven-year-old children, like little beasts out of the cage, greeted the team lively.

"Don't come here, tell everyone to go back to the house, and then go to invite the patriarch."

"oh!"

Pulling the sled outside the village, Ichisuke chased away several children.

"He tribe, once again, we will answer your questions..."

He turned around, surrounded the two people on the sled with the men as if they were facing an enemy, and took out the weapon in his hand: "But if you dare to do strange things in the village or touch any clansman One finger, we will stop you even if we die!"

Although the man holding the wooden knife in front of him didn't show any aura of "extraordinary" power from the beginning to the end.

But the opponent not only relied on pure physical ability, but lightly captured his entire team alive in a few seconds...

He also used a wooden sword to defeat the "power of bear spirit" in his blood, so that Shisuke still can't feel the existence of "bear spirit" until now.

These few things are linked together, and they are already "extraordinary" enough.

"Don't worry, we just want to inquire about something, and we will leave later. If you were willing to listen to people from the beginning, walking now won't be so uncomfortable..."

Facing this sudden "big man", Araki Sousuke had a calm face on the contrary.

"Boy... you'd better keep your word."

Looking at the "Lake Toya" wooden knife gently swinging in the opponent's hand, the lower body of these ten or so tall and strong men in bear robes couldn't help but feel cold.

"Those two are He tribe members? They look so weak..."

"Didn't the patriarch say that he couldn't be caught as prey?"

Behind the snow hill not far away, a few small heads poked out quietly, looking at the two people sitting on the sled with big bright eyes.

The children of the Ainu tribe are obviously not the obedient type.

"These children are..."

Araki Sousuke raised his brows slightly as his eyes fell on those children with thick heads and thick heads.

Looking carefully, those children actually had various animal features such as cat ears, canine teeth, and rabbit tails.

"If you're not mistaken, these children should all be half-demons...Moreover, because the blood is too pure, they can't control their physical signs when they are young."

"What, half-demon?!"

Fujiwara Takumi on the side sighed with a slightly heavy expression.

"I've only heard that Hokkaido, the last half-demon settlement in Japan, still remains, but I didn't expect it to be in this kind of national park..."

As a generation who was educated by the elites of the Fujiwara clan and the Meiji Jingu Shrine, he was exposed to the mysteries of history, which is naturally not comparable to Araki Sosuke who grew up in an orphanage.

"Hokkaido... No, it should still be called 'Ezo Land' at that time. It used to be an island that belonged only to the Ainu people..."

Until 1869, before the Meiji government gave the name, this northern island was called "Ezodi", that is, the place where the barbarians lived.

Even now, place names in Hokkaido such as "Hakodate", "Sapporo", "Otaru" and even "Lake Toya" are directly translated from the Ainu.

"The reason why the shogunate and royal family of all dynasties exterminated the Ainu people, obliterating their culture and beliefs at all costs, and diluting their blood, is precisely because of the dangerous half-demon blood flowing in them."

"So that's how it is... This is the so-called non-self race, so their hearts must be different?"

It wasn't until this moment that Sousuke Araki suddenly realized that behind the nearly thousand-year-long blood feud between the Wa and Ainu tribes, it wasn't just friction between nations, but a struggle between humans and half-demons.

"This guest is right. The original Utali tribe was originally a descendant of Bear Spirit..."

As the crowd parted, a tall and thin old man with bear skin dyed in colorful colors came to the two of them with a wooden stick.

"But with your Yamato clan's blind expulsion and obliteration, countless half-demons merged with us in the process of fleeing to the north, forming the diverse half-demon blood of the Utali clan..."

"However, even if we escape to such a bitterly cold island, you still want to take away the last inch of our living space!"

Taking over Fujiwara Takumi's words with an old voice, the old man stroked his chest and bowed to the two of them: "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. The current patriarch of Utari, I have met you two..."

A faint green glow shot out from the wooden stick in his hand and fell towards the two of them.

Green light spread over Fujiwara Takumi's body, and a golden chrysanthemum pattern appeared in an instant.

"It turns out that it is the son of God of the He clan..."

But when the green light fell on Araki Sousuke, there was no reaction, and it disappeared into nothingness.

"Also, this one is..."

Seeing this scene, the patriarch touched his head in confusion, and was at a loss for words for a while.

This green light contains the memory passed down by Xiong Ling from generation to generation. Through "memory", he can identify the origin of most extraordinary existences.

Even for ordinary people, Xiong Ling will give corresponding feedback.

This kind of silent and unresponsive annihilation was the first time.
