Apparition
It is also a general term for things not found in this city's people.
At the same time, things that do not have substance, such as spirits and spirits.
And youkai, strangers, youkai, etc.
Between this side is the existence that has become established in this world.
It also refers to an intermediate and ambiguous existence.
The entity may or may not be
And there is no such thing as an "individual", and it is the only one.
Often does not grow or breed
Even if you can talk like a human being, it is more like a kind of phenomenon than a living thing.
Also, even if they are breeding as one race, their habitat base is on the other side.
In other words, things in another world are also considered to be youkai.
It is a youkai that even defines it in this way is ambiguous.
Youkai also change as they come into contact with people, and the concept of an individual is born.
They are considered settled on this side if they breed or have children with humans.
language
The primary language used in this city is very similar to Japanese.
But the letters are significantly different.
There are roughly three types of characters used.
First, ideographic characters that are very similar to kanji.
It's very similar because it has only hieroglyphs, but it's much simplified and closer to the Chinese simplification.
It is said that it came from another continent.
In this city (in Kanji in our world)
It is called a simplified character.
Next, a phonetic character that closely resembles the alphabet that came from the west.
How similar is
Like someone who doesn't know Russian is looking at Cyrillic
Characters that are only different from the alphabet make you feel like that.
Called the western character
It is used like a Japanese kana in this town.
So in a typical document, it's a combination of simplified and western characters.
"Konna condition ni"
Further, fix it to a simple body,
If you change the alphabet to the equivalent Cyrillic alphabet
(Actually, it's a different character from Cyrillic, but it's an image)
It will be closer to the image when you see the style of this city.
Finally, the characters that correspond to the hiragana in our world.
It's like a cursive script, shaped like an eel entwined.
Much more complicated and more diverse
Old signboards are affixed around the city.
Used for magical things such as amulets
I'm refreshing over here.
By the way, this town has a machine similar to a typewriter.
I still use it.
You can type west letters like an English typewriter,
Not only that, but you can also type simple letters.
However, like a Japanese typewriter, a dial shows various prints.
Not in the form of sliding to select
In addition to basic things, simplified characters.
Left and right, up and down, things are surrounding and inside like "garden" and "progress."
Organised into a combination of radicals
Switch to simplified mode (mechanically)
Hit the west key, and the dial-type dials will move.
Radical type is selected, and you can type simplified characters by combining them and printing them.
That's why the balance of the radicals is a little strange compared to handwriting.
There is no problem with daily use.
It's like using an old word processor or label sticker printing machine
I'm not sure what the principle is
Combined with a rotating cursed language dial,
It is said that it has a built-in so-called magical computer = spiritual calculator.
I don't dare to disassemble it.
