Chapter 21 - Town, fog, and... 'cute' cries?

Ohhh!

Ah!

Cool!

There is so many interesting things here!

Like this carriage! 

It's a carriage!

Sure, that may sound plain. But I haven't seen a carriage before! All I know about the carriage now is from the knowledge that suddenly popped into my head the moment I looked at it. 

Like this church, I didn't even know what it is. Just thinking it was prettier and bigger house at first until I looked straight at it.

Then I knew!

That's not a house.

That's a church!

So many new things are popping into my head right now that can't calm down from this excitement!

Like these horses or those oil streetlamps.

Even the turnpike cobblestone road!

Ah!

That's it!

I've decided to investigate this town completely!

From head to toe!

Hmmm... oh!

Ah... cool!

Oh...? Oh!? Ohhh!!!

Wow, this is so much fun!

Hmm...

I suppose it is time for me to explore more than just the corner of this town now. Time to explore the other three sides of left, right, and straight across. 

That and maybe I might find something cool in the center of town too. 

But first.

I think a little exploration until the edge of the fog shouldn't hurt. 

Although I am curious what is making all those strange cries and yells from the fog that is beyond the edges of the town. 

But uh, that very same noise reminds me stay within the vicinity of the town. Also, the fog just outside the farthest limit of the town seems to form into a sea of dense fog. Thick enough to block all light from passing within an inch inside it. 

Those noises are louder, stronger, and more menacing within that sea of fog too…

In other words…

I like to explore, but I know when something is no good.

So, off I go!

"REEEEEEEEEEEE".

Oh!?

Well, that's new.

I haven't even traveled far to the edge of the town and yet I already hear a cute angry cry.

'cute' when compared to the monstrosity of horrendous horrors emitted beyond the fog.

From the sound of it... it shouldn't be too far away either.

Let's follow!

"REEEEEEEEEEE".

Yes, yes. 

I hear you. 

Keep making noise so I can find you, okay?

"REEEEEEEEEEE".

Thank you.

Hmm...

"REEEEEEEEEEE".

Ah, there it is.

This house is near the center of the northwest center of town is making all that noise. After this, I should look at the northwest center too. 

As for delayed detour?

Making a little detour every now and then should be no problem. 

"REEEEEEEEEE".

Ah, my friend is calling me.

Here it is!

Hmm... this house is…

Average. 

Nothing extraordinary compared to other houses next to it, nor anything in disrepair from neglect. 

Just another house by the looks of it. 

"REEEEEEEEEE". 

Besides my special friend's cry that is. 

Now then, as great as it would sound for me to just barge in guns blazing and unload all my firepower unto whatever that may be inside. 

I think I will stick for a stealthier approach. 

Maybe save me a lot of trouble.

You never know if you one day you kick the door but shot yourself in the foot the next moment by a shotgun rigged steel door. 

Hmm?

Oh…

I just noticed I have no body here. 

Just plain void blackness. 

With everything twisting and becoming darker the closer they get to me. 

Huh, just like what happens from where I'm from in the dark void of space.

Odd…

Why didn't this appear before in the other world...?

…Meh, who cares. 

Let's just do this as sneakily as I can.
