"You are not this guy's opponent..."

Seeing that the idea was thorny and his comrade was partially injured, the leading man immediately changed his tactics: "Leave this to me, and you go and catch the other one on the boat!"

"Roar!"

It seemed that he was very reassured by this man's means, and after the remaining men let out inexplicable growls, they turned around and ran towards the boat by the lake.

"Ancient bear spirits, please protect us and repel these foreign races that defile the divine soil!"

Seeing his companion leave, the man fell on all fours like an animal, arched his back, and roared a hoarse prayer...

A little bit of crystal green light rose from his back and turned into a roaring bear head in the air!

The man's body suddenly swelled, teeth and nails grew, and fine black hair spread out on the exposed skin.

"Awakening of blood?! Sousuke, be careful, that guy is a half-demon!"

Seeing this scene, Fujiwara Takukai, who was in "movie mode" behind the ship's side, quickly reminded him loudly.

Awakening of blood vessels means that the half-demon uses secret techniques to stimulate the sleeping blood vessels in the body, and obtains powerful abilities through a principle similar to "return to the ancestors".

"You outsiders...don't even think about desecrating the last holy place of Utali..."

Staring intently at Sousuke Araki, who came to him, the man's eyes were filled with a beast-like bloodthirsty light.

"Roar!!!!"

Under the roar, he rushed forward furiously like a brown bear, trying to overturn the overbearing and clansman in front of him to the ground.

Facing the rushing "giant bear", Sousuke Araki also handed out his left hand without a sword, as if he wanted to block the opponent's movements...

"Dare to confront the city assistant who has hired Bear Spirit to protect his body, that kid is simply asking for his own death!"

Seeing his actions, the other dozen or so Ainu hunters showed their winning smiles.

The Ainu people, who are sheltered by the bear spirit and activate the power of blood, have several times the strength and speed of an ordinary brown bear, and can break a sturdy tree with a single gesture.

They could already foresee the miserable appearance of that kid with all his bones shattered.

"Bang!!!"

As the two men faced each other, the violent airflow engulfed the surrounding snowflakes, making it impossible to see the situation for a while.

"Crack... uh ah ah ah..."

The sound of bone cracks mixed with screams resounded across the lakeshore, startling countless birds.

"Hey, that kid really..."

"However, this voice sounds familiar."

The smiles of the men with schadenfreude gradually became stiff.

"How, how is it possible... Bear Spirit... no longer protects me..."

The snow was scattered, and what appeared in everyone's sight was the "city assistant" who fell to the ground clutching his buttocks.

His slightly indecent posture was the same as the men who were hit by "Lake Toya No Crit" before.

"What?! Impossible, even the strongest municipal assistant..."

"Wait, what about that guy?"

And Sosuke Araki, who originally held a wooden sword, disappeared again.

Looking at the painful scene in front of me, a sense of discomfort that hunters became prey and was stared at gradually dominated a group of senior Ainu hunters.

"Hurry, hurry, grab his companion first!"

They subconsciously accelerated their pace and rushed towards Fujiwara Takukai on the shore.

"I'm a non-combatant, so what's the point of squeezing soft persimmons..."

Seeing that "bear group" with ferocious eyes and a terrifying figure turned his head towards him, just like a girl who encountered a lunatic, he did not hesitate to send out a "SOS": "Sousuke, it's over to you!!! "

"heard it."

A low voice sounded quietly behind the men.

"When... so soon... uh..."

"A guy who can only sneak attacks from behind, dare to confront me...Aha..."

"No, don't...hs..."

Bearing the pain that was too intense and unstoppable in the rear body, the men struggled to turn around...

The last image before falling to the ground is a figure of someone wrapped in a dazzling snow-white because of the speed.

...

Lake Toya, Benten Island.

In the pure white forest, a group of huge "brown bears" were walking upright and slowly with a slightly awkward posture.

Only after getting closer can it be seen that it is actually a group of tall men in bearskin coats, bear head hats, wooden bows and spears.

For some unknown reason, this team of men who looked majestic, not only took a twisted "inner eight-character step", but also covered a place behind them with one hand while marching, with painful expressions flashing on their faces from time to time.

Behind them, a large sleigh tied with logs was being towed by thick ropes.

"The Ainu are said to be the earliest inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago, dating back to the Paleolithic period, and have their own unique language and culture."

"Unexpectedly, in the center of Lake Toya, there is still such a primitive Ainu tribe like a 'living fossil'."

On the sled, Takumi Fujiwara, who was sitting leisurely on his knees, was teaching Sosuke Araki the "homework" he had done in advance.

"What's so rare, aren't Ainu people everywhere in Hokkaido... In other words, there seem to be quite a few on this island..."

Hearing Fujiwara Takukai's sigh, Araki Sect Interface showed curiosity.

Not only in Hokkaido, but on the main island of Japan, you can occasionally see people who speak pure Japanese but have profound facial features unique to Europe and Asia.

"When I used to deliver takeaways, there was a young man who seemed to be an Ainu... It is said that he used his handsome face of mixed blood to provide extra-value services for many wives who ordered takeaways, and created the Ikebukuro distribution station. Excellent rating."

But those people are not actually descendants of foreign mixed blood, but descendants of Ainu and Yamato intermarriage.

"The Ainu I'm talking about is different from what you said! Although there are still more than 10,000 Ainu people according to official statistics, it is said that the real pure-blood Ainu people are less than 200 people... "

"Hmph~lightnovelpub.net~ More and more Utali people are leaving the tribe, giving up their traditions, culture, beliefs and way of life, and embracing what you and the tribe call modern civilization..."

It seems that he heard Fujiwara Takukai's words, and the man named Shisuke in front turned his head and snorted: "Isn't all this what your Yamato clan wanted?"

"Well, those are all historical reasons... and it's their own freedom for others to think about the modern life of eating takeaways, playing games, and reading study materials. It's useless for you to stare at me..."

Seeing the strong hatred in the eyes of the other party, Fujiwara Takukai folded his arms and shrank behind Araki Sosuke subconsciously.

"Hey, take the sled seriously, I'm in a hurry... Or do you still want to try my 'Lake Toya の crit'?"

"Really, it made my tourist souvenirs stink, how can I bring them back? 』

Seeing Sosuke Araki waving the wooden sword that exudes an indescribable aura in his hand, this group of Ainu iron-blooded men, who had never shown their cowardice in the face of any beast, suddenly became cold, and the bear's body shook, and quickened their steps without looking sideways.
