Two purple lights emerge from the crumbled remains of Zen."Goodbye, hero.""This is your victory."I reflexively cut those lights with the holy sword since I feel evil intent from them. However, the lights which had been scattered away gather themselves back and rise into the sky."Let's meet again.""See you."The lights penetrate the ceiling and disappear before long.Were those angels? I felt maliciousness from them though.But, I don't have the leisure to think about it. Because--『System Message. This maze will begin to enter into a self-destruct sequence. The staff members and trainees are to escape immediately. I repeat』---I heard that announcement.I rush to Mia and make her who's still unconscious drink a magic potion with a restorative effect. Since the medicine hasn't been tested, I give her one-third at a time. She wakes up exactly with one bottle."Mia, do you recognize me?""...Onii-chan?"I am not.Mia's blurred eyes become focused."Here is?""The master room of Traz
I was overwhelmed by his drive, and made to dance according to his plan. He was probably satisfied, but it was a real nuisance to get involved.Still, even though I've murdered someone because of the course of the event, I don't feel any remorse. It's not just because of my high MND but probably also because his outer appearance was that of a skeleton and he looked happy in the end.I pull myself together. First, let's check on Kagari and the girls' situation. It seems that Liza is a bit hurt but everyone is safe. They're not in the camping ground but already near Seryuu City.Somehow they thought that "When it's morning", meant that they should get to the worker's guild before morning. I meant to say, "Depart when it's morning", but it was difficult to complete it.I could tell them my safety if we have cellphones, but it can't be helped if it doesn't exist. Let's look for something with the same function when we got to the royal capital and labyrinth city.Now then, it'd be difficul
I wonder if Kagari feels refreshed after crying her eyes out, she immediately asks me barrages of questions about my circumstances. I put aside the hard-to-talk things like the hero thing, the purple lights, or the reincarnated person and only roughly explain how the magician has accomplished his goal and won't after Mia with the ants and monsters."You're hiding various things from me right?""Well yeah, I'll tell you about it when the time is right."It's not exactly pleasant but it concerns Kagari too so I'll talk about it with her when it's only the two of us."Promise me! I'm fine doing it during our bed talk too."It's good that she's back to her usual self.I unwrap Mia and No.7 and put them on the wagon."Wait a minute, leaving aside the elf girl, what is this busty beautiful woman? Tell me what you were you talking about with the magician~~~!"Kagari's screams are echoing.Since it likely would reach Seryuu city, I stopped her."You understand right? The identity of this pers
I'm hearing singing birds signaling morning.Opening my eyes, I see faint light from the cloth roof. It's a bit dazzling.Ah right, I slept in the wagon because the camping ground was a wasteland covered with stones yesterday.While lying down I look down to my chest and see a hand grasping my shirt loose. I look to the side, a beautiful black-haired girl is sleeping there while hugging my left hand.I've gotten quite accustomed to it but it makes my heart jump for a bit. If there's no age difference between us, I wouldn't be able to retain my reason.Next, I turn my view toward the opposite side.There, a girl whose head is being pressed by two gigantic pairs of hills is sleeping with an unpleasant expression, and the owner of the hills herself is hugging my arm while having an innocent sleeping expression on her truly beautiful face.Since it'd be too bad to wake everyone up, I doze off while enjoying the soft and nice fragrance of women.I peek at the wide neckline of Nana's pajama
Now then, for several days on this trip, let's activate numerous skills. I wouldn't use up half of my points even if I maximize all the skills that I've obtained, but since skills like [Appraisal] encompass several other skills in function, I'll exclude skills with questionable or redundant effects.First, I had wanted to level up Weapon skills, but I already acquired enough skills needed for close combat, so I'll put the other weapon skills in reserve. For once, since I've read useful appliances for Dagger skill from many history and tales, I activate it.I enable almost all Physical combat-related skills. Since the demerit from [Reckless Courage] skill seems to be high, I leave it inactive. I don't know the usability of Shield Bash so I only level it up to 5. If it's useful then I'll maximize it.Tactic skills are another one where I don't feel the actual effects, but I activate them all following Kagari's advice.I'm told that if I combine commands and cooperation together, the par
On the evening of that day, the "Guest" came relatively close by as expected, so I got up off the bed and went to the place where Mia and Tama were doing night watch."Change?""Too early~?""The change is still a bit later."I asked Tama to teach me the way to do [Enemy Search]."Nyu~?"She folds her short arms while looking troubled-looking cute. I want to poke at the wrinkle on her forehead."Lots of sound, different sound.""Same view, different color.""Nice smell, normal smell, bad smell.""Lots of sameness, lots of differences.""So, you understand~?"I listen attentively to her who's trying hard to convey.The point is to detect the finer differences from numerous pieces of information. "Don't think, feel.", like that?"I'll go inside the forest for a bit to try it. I'll raise my voice if anything happens, if you hear it then wake Liza up for help."I tell the two so and make my way through the forest.I've thought they would follow but it seems they're too sleepy for it.I'm
""Good morning, master."""Good morning."Lulu and Liza who have immediately woken up with the first sign of morning sun give me morning greetings.I let Tama down from my lap, and take Liza to the spear to apologize to her."T, this is."Even Liza is speechless.Since externally, her important spear looks like it has been scribbled. Let's apologize first before I say, "The performance has been improved.".After I make up my mind, I step forward toward Liza-- but, she's not looking at me.Seemingly to check on the spear's condition, she tries stabbing it many times. The red light that appears when she does a heavy blow is stronger than before."Master!"After she finishes swinging the spear, she comes closer to me. I decide to listen to her complaints before I make an excuse. Her voice's tone is a bit high, would be good if she's not angry."This is, it must be a reward right!"Since I don't understand the flow of the conversation, I ask her."Kagari was saying to Lulu, 'If you prope
It was already late in the afternoon when we arrived on the street of Nouki town. The disposal of the thieves took more time than I had thought.This town is the second biggest town within Earl Kuhanou's territory, it's situated in the typical fashion of a trading town. Nevertheless, the population is not more than 20000. The land size is also only about a fourth of Seryuu city. 30% of the population are slaves, but most are general or lower slaves, while criminal slaves are quite a few.The thieves--they were confirmed as thieves with the usual Yamato stone--were sold to slave traders that the gatekeeper had called. The men were worth 2 silver coins a person. The ones with bow or weapon skills and higher-leveled were even more expensive, but the women were cheaper. A middle-aged woman was worth only 1 silver coin.As a reward for suppressing the thieves, I was given 10 copper coins per head. Was the price right?The total amount to 48 silver coins and 140 copper coins. With this much
Both of the masks have been broken, so I put on a white mask that Kagari made for cosplay at her request. I feel like I know where the inspiration for it comes from, but it seems like it'd fall off easily, scary. I put on cheap clothes and a mantle, and head toward the hall's exit.The hall looks disastrous to the point that I admire it for not collapsing.The floors are turned upside down, several pillars are destroyed, and many places have become craters. Some of the craters have glasses formed from Furnace Flame (Forge). There isn't any trace of the altar.I should say as expected of a demon lord. I've just barely won even though my level is three times as high and fully loaded with items.It's unfortunate that I won't get a rematch--I don't have even the slightest bit of such thought.Fortunately, the opponent was a type weak with magic, but if it was strong in both points, I might have lost.I'll go watch the tournament at the capital and study sword techniques and battle forms.
It's probably the effect of the demon's unique skill. The demon has revived as an undead. The demon's upper body which should have been lost has also regenerated in the blink of an eye. There's no worth in defeating this guy.The two liuyedao were lost somewhere when I destroyed the upper body earlier, thankfully.I do have several trump cards, but since I don't know how many times the demon can revive, I won't recklessly use them. It's painful that one MP recovery potion only recovers 20% of my MP with one bottle.From now on, I'll charge magic swords and the holy swords whenever I'm free."It has been since Yamato that I have to resort to using Banpufutou's effect. O Nanashi, perchance you can beat me? Yamato took the heavenly dragon's lot along to attack my castle. You alone intend to be the equivalent of a hero and heavenly dragon."Fumu, since my name is blank, it's [Nanashi]. I guess I'll call myself Nanashi from now on.Thanks to the HP potion and self-healing skill, my wounds
"What's wrong, are you so scared you can't talk?"Moreover, she's swinging her arms matching her speaking rhythm, so her exposed breasts are shaking and swaying. I can't help but become interested in it since a while ago. Yup, they're big relative to her age."O black-haired hero. I do not care why you're hiding your appearance, but can you entertain me like Yamato? I won't forgive you if you bore me."I wonder if she has see-through skills, the girl's eyes are shining red.I'm sorry for the possessing demon who's trying to set up the mood, but at this time, I'm not thinking, "How do I defeat the enemy", but, "How do I get this fellow out of the girl's body", instead.I wonder if I could do something with Saint's title and magic healing somehow?It might be good to learn ways to exorcise demons. It'd be terrible if someone I know got possessed.Let's use persuasion skills here--I've also thought of such thing. Before I could open my mouth, the girl's time was up."Thanks for making my
A person who looks to be a leader-type is scolding us with a rough voice in front of the door that leads to the ritual room. The scolding is over quickly, I slip in with the society members to go into the door.I've thought of this since I mixed in a while ago, but they're full of leaks.They don't look like a group that would do such outrageous things as summoning items from hell. There's something mismatched about this. I wonder if there's someone who's pulling the string from behind?Well, whatever.There are probably only a few places where they can hold the ritual, so if I destroy this place, people who are thinking of doing misconducts will lay low.The ritual room is wide. The width is 200 meters, the height is 20 meters, and the depth is nearly 1 kilometer long. Of course, there are a lot of standing pillars, but they sure are strong for supporting such enormous weight. Is it due to [Fixture Magic]?My thought had wandered off for a bit.The nearly 200 men and women inside the
The ship carrying us is anchored at a place where the capital's night view can be seen. The port is crowded due to the tournament season, so we're waiting our turn. It seems the duke has issued an order to prioritize ships that are carrying supplies, there are a lot of other anchored ships.Since the captain has gotten the right to enter the port first thing in the morning tomorrow, it looks like we could enter the port without waiting tomorrow.Everyone was watching the night view until just now, but since the youth trope began to doze off, I made them turn back to the room.I hear light footsteps, I look back, and there's Kagari."You're going after all?""Ah."I answer briefly to Kagari who's giving off a strange atmosphere."I can't imagine you'd fall off against opponents at the level of short horn, but absolutely don't let your guard down, okay?""Ah, I know. Or rather, I'm going for it before the short-horn demons could appear."We wouldn't be able to tour the capital relaxed i
A birdman who's flying near the water's surface as if gliding passes over the ship.Pochi and Tama are waving their hands to the point as if they'd get torn off. It seems the birdman is also giving a service, he makes several turns and does a full revolution before flying away.I'm afraid that the two will fall since they lean forward too much while waving their hands, but since Liza seizes the girdle, it's probably alright.Even if they fall, there's [Float] that I've learned recently so it's fine, but there's no need for them to fall in the first place.It's basically a leisure on the ship.Yesterday, the ship was attacked by two aquatic monsters, but before we could go out, the Gillman soldiers who were escorting the ship cleaned it up. There was also a pirate group, the river version, that was going to attack on the river branch, but I attacked them with Short Stun from afar, and their boat got capsized the end.Since it's generally peaceful like that, I continue practicing signal
I'm waving my hands on top of the departing ship. It's not only Princess Menea and her escorts that have come to see us off, but even the viceroy couple and Miss Ririna.There were imprudent young nobles and hooligans that they had hired aiming for Liza's spear waiting in the harbor, but the viceroy soldiers skilfully arrested them before they could cause harm to us. It seemed Miss Karina's maids had notified the viceroy beforehand after they heard about some disturbing rumors.The nobles had probably seen Liza's spear during the fight with the demon yesterday, but they were really confident if they thought they could go against her even after seeing that fight.I want to leave miss Karina too if possible, but my reputation would become bad if I do leave my employer's daughter, so I give up."Fufufuhn, you've raised and collected flags of the new character huh! She should just disappear after this."New character... Please don't like a person with characters."Are you still thinking a
"Well then, everyone, please enjoy the specialties of Gugurian."The viceroy says so signaling the start of the banquet.The people in this dining room are the viceroy, his wife and his retainers, gentlemen and ladies--who are of course nobles with peerages. The guests are Princess Menea, Poni-san who acts as her escort,and also lady Karina and me. The influential people in the city are only invited when it's a buffet party.By the way, only adults are allowed to participate in the banquet and party, their children aren't.The dining table is decorated with flowers, and two maids accompany each guest. The tableware is silver knives, spoons, and forks. Besides the knife that looks like an extremely common dagger, the spoon, and the fork are like the ones used in the previous world. There is only one set of the tableware for each plate, but it gets exchanged with new ones when you've finished your meal it seems.The room is lit with magic light. It's not with magic tools, but a magicia
The princess' entourages, Yui and Aoi pondered if I, who's called Rin and has black hair and black eyes, was a Japanese. It doesn't seem that they're aware of Kagari's name.The girl before me, Yui, is summoned from the Southern Japan Federation in a country separated to north and south. The kind of country's setting that's often found in fictitious military stories. It seems to be a real country from what she's said, I guess I shouldn't say 'setting' out loud.However, I've thought that I could easily go home if I just went to Saga empire, but if there are parallel worlds, I have to rethink my plan. Although from the start, I don't intend to go back until after the livelihood of Kagari, Liza, and the others are guaranteed here, so it's fine."By Japan, do you mean the illustrious country referred to by hero?""Rin isn't from one?""My house has always given the name of the eldest son, Rin, for generations long. It's said that our ancestor is a Saga Empire hero, but there's no hero ca
