"Excuse me for a word of advice..."

The police officer sitting in front of the outdoor diesel heater looked helplessly at the "special detective" from the Tokyo Metropolitan Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Department, before he hesitated: "Even if your Excellency invites an Ainu as a guide, After all, the search scope of the three people is limited, so wait until the snow stops..."

The "Tokyo Reinforcement Force" that I had expected was actually only two people plus an Ainu guide, which was really disappointing.

When the electronic equipment failed for no reason and everything returned to the primitive society, several of them "sit in" the base camp, and they could only cook the fire and play a role in preventing theft. They could not even coordinate human and material resources and keep information flowing.

Three more people would just come back and cook instant noodles together.

"Whoa..."

Not far from the camp, a wooden sleigh was parked there quietly.

Several white long-haired Ainu dogs with a height of half a meter were tied in front of the sled, and were rubbing their bodies against the black heavy locomotive parked by the side.

The Ainu, also known as the Hokkaido dog, is a breed bred by the Ainu people and is the oldest of all Japanese dogs.

It looks like an Akita dog, because it is more docile, loyal, vigilant, has excellent cold resistance, and has excellent physical strength and muscles. It is one of the best dog breeds for snow operations.

"No... the snow... covers up the smell..."

A huge "brown bear" was lying on the ground like a hound sniffing around along the original location of the national highway...

"Not to mention the best dog, even I can't smell anything."

It was a tall, three-dimensional Ainu hunter, a city assistant, wearing a bearskin coat and a hideous bear hat.

Bears, as the animals with the best sense of smell in the world, have a sense of smell that is 2,100 times stronger than that of humans.

A bear can detect a dead animal about 20 miles away, while a polar bear can detect the scent of a sow in heat 100 miles away.

It is this keen sense of smell that allows bears to find food, mates, avoid danger, and track wild cubs.

And the city assistant, who inherited the "bear demon bloodline" and has a sense of smell comparable to that of a brown bear, was naturally dispatched by the patriarch to assist Sousuke Araki and the two in tracking the bus.

"The snow has only been falling for less than three days, so I can only try to dig it out, there may be a smell of storage!"

After speaking to himself, the municipal assistant took out a small wooden shovel from the backpack behind him, and quickly dug it up...

"Oh? Dig up the snow, then I'll help too..."

The whole person was wrapped in a coat, sunglasses and a scarf. Araki Sousuke, who was like a thief, also took a folding shovel from the locomotive and shoveled the snow on the ground like the wind...

"What, what are these two guys doing?"

When Fujiwara Takumi, who was sitting by the fireplace and holding hot tea, heard the sound, he saw countless white snow flying in the air like waves...

In less than a minute, a snow pit with a diameter of five meters and a depth of about two meters appeared on the snow.

"Crack."

Soon, there was a sound of something shattering in the pit.

"Oh, I seem to have dug into the road!"

When Fujiwara Takumi and Ichisuke walked to the pit curiously, Sousuke Araki, who almost fell into the snow pit, just pulled out the engineer shovel from the ground...

"You muscular idiot, what do you mean by 'it seems to be dug up'... You smashed the road surface... Is this destroying public facilities?"

Looking at the asphalt pavement of National Highway 230 full of cracks and potholes, Fujiwara Takumi felt like a stalk in his throat, and he didn't vomit unpleasantly.

"This... 咻咻... I did smell the car's exhaust... But there are too many vehicles on the national highway, so I can't confirm whether it is the bus you are looking for..."

Lying on the edge of the pit, the municipal assistant kept twitching his nose and his expression became cold: "Wait, there is a smell of evil mixed in here!"

"Evil? Is it the smell left by those 'dolls'?"

Thinking of the chilling "Aju Doll", perhaps wandering in the nearby forest to seek revenge because of the loss of allies, Fujiwara Takumi subconsciously shrank his neck.

"No, it's not the same... This smell is more like the smell of some kind of beast..."

Searching for the source of the breath, the city assistant pointed to the northeast: "Try to dig this way!"

"OK, let's leave it to "Hokkaido's Strongest Snow Removal Craftsman" Araki-kun! "

When the city assistant pulled out the snow pit, Sosuke Araki suddenly swung the engineer shovel in his hand like a windmill...

The snow field in front of Fujiwara Takukai instantly turned into a white sea, as if an evil shark was sprinting under the water surface, setting off waves of white waves...

"I said, are you going to dig a trench along National Highway 230?!"

Before Fujiwara Takukai finished speaking, Sousuke Araki, who was walking away in the "ditch", suddenly stopped moving.

"This is……"

Lifting off his sunglasses and blindfold, Sousuke Araki carefully looked at the road exposed under the snow.

"...Footprints?!"

On the asphalt road, a footprint with four toes and a rounded sole could be vaguely seen.

"It's like... a bear?"

Looking at this huge footprint of an unknown beast, the two of them looked at each other, and their faces were not very good-looking.

Hokkaido, an island, has a very single species of large beasts, and only the brown bear as a specialty is worthy of praise.

"Ordinary bears don't have such big feet, nor can they make such footprints on the asphalt, right?"

The two were not surprised by the huge foot strength of the creature that left footprints "breaking through the iron shoes"...

It was because, at the bottom of the footprints, there were still strands of black resentment that had not yet dissipated.

"Hey...hehe...that evil aura has been chasing behind the exhaust of this car..."

Turned over and jumped into the ditch~lightnovelpub.net~ The city assistant carefully identified the strange footprint.

"This shape is indeed the footprint of a bear. I can't admit it wrong... Could it be... a ghost bear?!"

As if remembering something, he suddenly called out with a trembling.

"Ghost bear?"

"What do you mean, do you live as a great man and die as a ghost..."

Looking at the city assistant who was standing at the bottom of the pit, and Sousuke Araki, who was sitting at the edge of the pit and twirling snowballs, he was curious.

"The terrifying evil ghost bear has not appeared in Hokkaido for nearly a hundred years since a certain large-scale hunting activity. I only learned about it from the people of the clan."

It seemed that he recalled something, and the city assistant's face became more and more difficult to look at.

"Ghost bear, because he refused to respond to the call of the kingdom of God, and finally turned into an evil bear..."

It is said that only a bear that has lived for decades without dying can become a "ghost bear".

The ghost bear is more than two meters tall, and with a single slap, even cattle and horses can be shredded directly.

Not only that, but the ghost bear has a more cunning mind than a human, and can walk upright like a human, disguising itself as a traveler from a distance in the snow, lowering people's vigilance.
