Iruburu (イルぶる, Iruburu) is a village in the 6^th Layer which was created by The Three Sages and is inhabited entirely by Narehate. The Force Field does not exist in the village, and (by extension) neither does the Curse.

Narehate in Iruburu take the form of what they most desire, and are granted the village's protection. In exchange, they are bound to the village.

Village society seems to be somewhat sophisticated, as it has restaurants, inns, and a system of currency. 

Description

The village is dependent on the trade of "Value", something determined by how much a possessor of an item cherishes said item. With this concept in mind, inhabitants are constantly trading to acquire things of equal or higher Value. When an individual damages or takes a possession without proper compensation, an event called "The Balancing" occurs. The perpetrator's possessions are either confiscated or destroyed and converted to raw Value. The perpetrator may even be maimed, if their possessions are insufficient. Human children are of particularly high Value.

Within the village, inhabitants are able to expend their own Value to create or recreate things that they desire. In one such instance, Belaf sacrificed a significant portion of his body to replicate Mitty, right down to the soul.

Since the Narehate of Iruburu cannot leave, the only way they can hunt is to lure prey into the city.

History

The village was created by members of Ganja, who originally set out to find, what natives called, "The Golden City of Shourou" on the 6^th Layer of The Abyss. After learning from Interference Units they met that they wouldn't be able to return to the surface, Ganja set up a permanent camp on the 6^th Layer.

After some time, many Ganja members got ill and Belaf found out that the cause of the sickness was the water they had been drinking, having been contaminated by a parasite. While the illness spread, members of Ganja who hadn't fallen ill discovered an Artifact capable of granted the deepest wish of a person, provided that their mind wasn't too "complex"; Cradle of Desire.

Vueko requested it to be given to Irumyuui, a native girl who had accompanied them into the Abyss as a guide after her tribe banished her for infertility, in the hope of saving her from the illness. Wazukyan, the leader of Ganja, agreed and the Artifact was given to Irumyuui. The Cradle of Desire caused Irumyuui to transform and gave her the ability to birth small rabbit-like creatures. However, these creatures were born without organs for ingestion, causing them to die shortly after birth. Ganja resorted to use them as source of sustenance, as they lacked other viable options. It was later discovered that eating the creatures could could cure them of the illness caused by the bad water, though only if the meat was fresh enough; butchered before it died on its own.

At some point in time, a second Cradle of Desire was given to Irumyuui by Wazukyan. Over time, Irumyuui transformed more and more until she reached her final stage with the ability to transform humans into Narehate. In this form, she had already lost her consciousness and became the base of the village. Due to Vueko not agreeing with this, she tried and failed to take her own life and was imprisoned in the part of the village that used to be Irumyuui's head, in order to keep her from harming herself.

Shortly after the creation of the village, Faputa was born. By use of the two Cradles of Desire that Irumyuui possessed, and a third which had been confiscated from Wazukyan. Unlike the Narehate transformed by the village, who can't leave it, Faputa cannot enter it. The exact reasons for this exile are unknown.

After Reg had brought back body parts of Faputa into the village to trade them for Nanachi, it reacts to them and Juroimoh starts to attack to claim the parts. In the battle with Juroimoh, Reg shoots his incinerator creating an opening in the village causing damage to its protective boundary and it starts to disperse. This leads to a confrontation between Faputa, the villagers and Reg, which is ultimately interrupted by creatures of the 6^th Layer swarming into the village and beginning to wreak havoc.

The village started to crumble and fade away completely after Faputa used her control over it to start a process of taking in its remaining Value and it ultimately vanished completely leaving only rubble from its collapse behind.

The Luring

The Luring is an event in which the inhabitants of Iruburu, who cannot leave the village, lure in creatures from outside to hunt, therein increasing the total Value of the village. During this event, the inhabitants attempt to damage the creature and let themselves be damaged by the creature so that the Balancing deals with it. A primitive form of it can be seen when Irumyuui hunts the flying creatures that are preying on the members of Ganja during the creation of the village.

Balancing of the Fuzosheppu as it attacks villagers

The Luring event is not always succesful in completely hunting down the prey as the Fuzosheppu had previously been lured into the village but managed to escape when it was almost completely whittled away.

The Luring lets villagers see various creatures of the Absolute Boundary but one in particular seen during the destruction of the village was never before seen during one.
