Chapter 29

**Hidden Village** is chapter twenty-nine of the Mato Seihei no Slave Manga.

## Summary

A flustered Yuuki Wakura tries to think and maintain his composure as Koko Zenibako licks his body. He recalls that he encountered Aoba Wakura and tries to talk to Koko, but is cut off as he is covered by her crotch and she continues to lick him. Aoba then enters the room and, upon finding Koko licking Yuuki all over, physically punishes her, demanding an explanation. The beautiful Humanoid Shuuki explains that, after changing back to human, Yuuki was naked and he had many injures, and Koko was merely in the process of healing him. Koko adds that she wanted to heal every last one of Yuuki's injuries since he is Aoba's brother. Yuuki realizes his injuries are, indeed, healed, with Koko explaining that her saliva has healing properties. Aoba happily apologizes to Koko and thanks her for healing Yuuki.

Seeing Aoba's loving personality, Yuuki sees that she really is his sister. Aoba then joyfully embraces Yuuki and says he has grown into a fine man. Yuuki is overwhelmed by the fact that his sister really is alive. He wonders why Aoba looks the way she does, but realizes he is still naked. Aoba gives him a change of clothes and tells him it would be better to show him where he is and who they are.

After getting dressed, Yuuki follows Aoba out of the room and finds himself in a large underground city. Aoba and the others show him around, informing him that they call it the Hidden Village. Aoba explains that a large underground cave system runs through Mato and many Peach trees grow there. However, their village is located at the edge of Mato, where no Peach trees grow and the entrance is to the village is well-hidden. Yuuki sees there are many other Humanoid Shuuki living in the village, and Aoba explains that there are about twenty of them and they are all former humans. Koko introduces herself to Yuuki, and the beautiful Humanoid Shuuki introduces herself as Naon Yuno. Yuuki wonders if all Shuuki are former humans, but Aoba assures him that they are definitely monsters, while the Humanoid Shuuki's are more like half-human half-monster. Their transformation was accident, but Aoba believes their souls are still human (though Koko admits they may have become more ferocious). Yuuki observes that the ones who attacked the Anti-Demon Corps during the exhibition matches are not in the village.

Aoba then tells Yuuki that he will live with them in the village and not be treated like a slave anymore, much to his surprise. Yuuki protests, saying there is no need for them to hide as the Anti-Demon Corps will protect them. However, this enrages Aoba, Koko, and Naon as they declare that the Anti-Demon Corps is their enemy because of how they operate and for treating Yuuki like a slave. Naon also says they are planning on attack a research institute and that the Anti-Demon Corps will definitely interfere. Yuuki is unnerved by this change in their attitude, but remains steadfast that he must stop them from fighting the Anti-Demon Corps.
