懸念

[fear]

Inkarmat sat in the middle of a large group of women as she told their fortunes, "You, my dear, have already met your soulmate!" she smiled.

A rather unsightly woman looked at the men who passed by the group and gave Tanigaki envious glares, "I have!? Who is it? Who is it?!"

An old buddy with strange eyebrows walked up to Tanigaki, "Hey, What are you selling?" he asked.

Tanigaki shook his head, "I'm not selling anything..." he looked at Inkarmat, their only source of income.

"Oh! So you're with that fortune-telling lady! I wish I could sponge off a cute girl like that." the man sighed.

"Sponge off? I'm not-" Tanigaki was interrupted by an old guy in a weird costume selling beans. Cikapasi rushed towards Inkarmat, "Hey, Could I borrow some money? That old guy over there is selling bean snacks!" he asked, bouncing a little bit.

Inkarmat nodded with a soft smile and handed the boy enough to buy whatever he wished.

"Hey," Tanigaki caught the attention of the annoying guy who basically called him a gigolo, "Have you seen a little Ainu girl traveling with three men and a woman?"

A look of fear flashed through the man's eyes, "Ahh! I remember seeing a group just like that! I Yuubari! They looked really shady the way they all came by one by one! Can you believe they tried to sell me a bear's gall bladder?" The man droned on, "They must've been a gang or something! That woman was..." he shuddered, "Something...Unlike any woman, I've ever met! And the one that military cap looks like a slimy son of a bitch-" he paused a bit before looking at Tanigaki, "I'm just really good at telling stuff like that."

Tanigaki sighed. That wasn't an accurate description but it seemed like something you five would do. "So they did go to Yuubari... If they wanted to go from Otaru to Abashiri by the shortest distance, they would've gone to Asahikawa," he muttered to himself, pointing to various places on the map, "But Asahikawa is a military town. 7th Division soldiers are everywhere. if they went through Yuubari, they must've taken a detour. Heading to Tokachi by passing through the Daisetsuzan and Hidaka mountain range."

Cikapasi eyes gleamed with excitement, "We're going to see tokap!??"

Tanigaki shook his head, "No Cikapasi, Tokachi. What the hell is tokap anyway?"

Inkarmat smiled, "Tokap means breasts."

Tanigaki frowned. It was evident you had a part in raising this child. Cikapasi skipped in front of the two chanting, " tokap!! tokap!! tokap!!" And sneaking not so innocent glances at Inkarmat's chest.

"Stop saying that Cikapasi! And stop looking at Inkarmat like that!" Tanigaki scolded, getting a bit more flustered every time Cikapasi said it again. Cikapasi was obviously a kid, but his vocabulary was questionable for his age. I mean, his name means 'Boner' for Pete's sake.

Though Tanigaki's logic was reasonable, they were actually heading in the opposite direction of the Sugimoto group. You all had made it to Tsukigata.

Ushiyama pointed ahead of the group while Little Asirpa sat on his shoulder, "Okay, we should be in sight of Kabato Prison soon. We had an agreement to meet up at the inn closest to the prison."

Sugimoto walked behind you and You walked beside Suzukawa and poked at his bald head.

"Stop it you fool." He muttered, swiping your hand away from his head for the umpteenth time that day.
