At the gates of Box Garden, everyone met Jin Russell, the leader of Black Rabbit's community. To their surprise, the leader of this community was merely a child who looked to be in his early teens...
This made the atmosphere somewhat awkward. Although Jin tried hard to welcome them, the three exchanged glances and said nothing. Normally, if things were as Black Rabbit had described, the community should have sent a representative to greet them while its leader waited to receive them. Yet this community's leader had personally come out to welcome the three of them—and he was only a child...
Well, none of them were fools. If they still could not tell that there was something wrong with this community, then there would really be something wrong with them.
Still, guests followed their host's lead. They accompanied Jin and Black Rabbit on a tour of Box Garden and listened to their introduction to this world. According to the two of them, countless races lived in Box Garden, including gods and Buddhas, demons, spirits, beastmen, and humans. For the most part, they got along rather peacefully.
Afterward, everyone found a place to eat and chat. Naturally, the first topic was their abilities. According to Kasukabe Yao, her ability allowed her to speak with all animals. No matter what kind of animal it was, from sparrows to dolphins, she could communicate with them without any obstacle.
Asuka was clearly envious of Kasukabe Yao's ability. As for her own ability...
Bang.
As everyone was talking, a huge, burly man in a suit unceremoniously dropped into a seat beside them and sneered at Jin.
"Oh? If it isn't Jin, leader of the nameless country bumpkins, the lowest-ranked community in the East Area."
"Gard..."
Jin's little face immediately darkened upon seeing the tall man.
