"Is that it? Master! You're the master, aren't you? Hmm? Have you finished your sermon yet?

I was confused by the devil's words.

And I accidentally shut up.

Master? What do you mean?

……

Ah......

"You!... could..."

"Hey, Master? Why don't you just close it?

"Hmm?... Oh"

I noticed, I tried to conclude, but the devil blocked my words.

I shut the door as I was told.

Should I have at least knocked?

No, you don't think there's such a monster inside, do you?

I don't know...... things are going crazy.

In all the good tension so far, I was able to move on.

Even so, it feels instantly unraveled.

"Wait for me in the living room"

Then from inside, I heard voices.

"Ooh... ooh"

I looked back and put my foot in the living room.

Then there were three of them, pinching their noses and looking dark.

"Hey?... who?

Disgust comes from Toa.

Though the moment I did open the bathroom door, there was a smell that I didn't think was from the world.

"He's a dirty old man."

That's what Nem said, he was flustered.

Sufilia is definitely smiling and trying to get it together.

"Now that I know what you guys are trying to say, let's just wait in the living room"

I urged the three of us to go to the living room to show our rejection of this place.

Then the three walked away with their noses pinched.

The four of us sat back on the couch in front of the TV, waiting for that demon.

Or why are we waiting?

After a while, I heard the sound of running water from the toilet and the sound of closing the door.

Then the living room door opens and a big man with horns appears there.

"He's a dirty old man..."

Nem said the same thing again just now.

"Hey cat girl? Well, that's dirty. Why don't you tell the humans? This is how I do it every day, working together to preserve the environment in this world by draining their rotten bad balls out of their buttholes over and over again, huh?

"Really?

"No, it's an analogy of things"

"What the..."

I accidentally put a scratch in it.

Make it that, and look at it again, it's big.

Then he sat down on the couch across the street, like he was facing us.

And he sighed and looked at us as we lit a cigarette.

"So? How was the dungeon? Master?"

"Hey, I was wondering earlier, what's that master? I have a wand I know that says the same thing..."

"Hmm?... Oh well. Speaking of which, you've never seen me like this before, have you?

Then he took a sip of smoke.

"Master, I'm Verphegor. This is my body."

"What? You... Ver?

Verphegor...... commonly known as Ver.

That's the name of the statue that was dug at the tip of "The Great Wand of Verphegor," which inverted my magic guide, The Wrath of the Virgin.

"Master than that? That's all I've been advising you, and you've apparently doubted the abyss?

Ver was looking at me with those shitty eyes.

"... you see?

"Absolutely. I'm the master's half, right?

"Half-body?... what? Half-body."

"Hey? Do you know this guy?

Then Toa came into the conversation.

"Hmm? Yeah, it's called Vel. But I've never seen you before."

"This is your first time, and you know him?

"Well... there's a lot going on."

I told Toa about the white wand and the black wand.

"I mean, the statue that was being dug at the tip of that black wand, this guy?

He said, "Well, I don't care what you think, people don't look like you."

Then it followed Toa and lifted the alert as both of them were convinced.

"Leave it alone if you're Ver for now, why are you here?

"That's a difficult question. I've been here since the beginning. I don't care what they say about that. Well, let's talk about it later, for now, removing the abyss-swallowed master's pus."

"What?... pus?

"Oh, the master who ignored my advice is now a little swallowed up by the abyss. If it's in this state, I can still get it back. Well, in the first place, that's the half-body part."

"Hey, give me a minute. What is that half-body thing I've been saying? And I was swallowed? What's this all about?

"The question is later. Just get your hands on me."

"Hands off?

"Oh."

I'm blocked from asking questions, and I don't fall for feelings first. I put my hand forward.

Then Ver tried to put his own hand on my palm.

"By the way, Ver? You washed your hands, didn't you?

"No, I didn't wash it"

Then Ver stood up silently and walked over to the kitchen.

"Not at all...... is the master a cleansing disorder?

I honestly wash my hands, Ver, saying bump.

"He's a dirty old man..."

That's what Nem said again.

"Cat girl? That's dirty. Say it to both humans. This is how I wash away every day the human scratches on my hands?

"Anyway, that's an analogy, isn't it?

"Sort of..."

Then Ver closed the faucet and came back here.

And I lowered my back, and I put my hand forward to go with it.

And Ver put his own hands on it.

"So? What are you gonna do?

"The master doesn't have to do anything. This is all I can do."

Then for a moment, I felt something in me that I couldn't say in words.

"This will do."

Then Ver pulled away the hand he was wearing.

I'll put my hands down too.

But you don't doubt it anymore, do you? I can remove my master's pus as many times as I want. But if they swallow it, it's over. If I'm completely swallowed, there's nothing more I can do. "

"... what does that mean to be swallowed? You said that before, didn't you?“ When you doubt yourself, you are swallowed by the abyss ”? Plus I've heard these words before.“ He who is swallowed by the abyss loses his beloved ”..."

"Losing your love? Who would do that... No, you're human."

Then Ver looked like one convinced.

And talk to me.

"Ready, Master? You think you'll be swallowed by the abyss? He loses his personality."

"Losing your personality...?

"Oh, yeah. You can no longer distinguish between enemies and allies, and you lose sight of the abyss. The abyss strikes others unintentionally, and doesn't even notice it. who have lost the king's vessel. - We call it the Fool of the Abyss."

"Hmm? You think I'm an abyss fool? Wait a minute, you mean the wizard who deals with the abyss, right?

"What? What are you talking about? The fool is a fool. You speak of those swallowed by the abyss."

Immediately after that, Ver laughed again, niggling as he was convinced.

"Right... human again... I guess that's what you said about what the humans misunderstood?

This is what I heard from Black Dragon Carpent Ze Bach.

"I heard that from a certain Black Dragon. With a legacy left by a wizard named Adams Rado Pollyphia?

"Huh, I don't inherit... so? What inheritance?

"One is," He who is stained with the abyss loses his life. "The second," He who is swallowed by the abyss loses his beloved. "And the last,“ He who falls into the abyss loses his freedom. "This seems to be Adams' inheritance. The black dragon said this was a warning sentence. And when he called those who ignored it and touched the abyss a fool, he said so.

Then Ver was thinking of something, touching his beard.

"Lose your love... right. Think about it, maybe you're wrong though. You don't even know if you loved me, if I lost my personality, whether I loved you or not.

"Oh...... you sure do. So? How about the other two?

"That heirloom was left behind by Adams, right? You don't even know if I ask you. But I think he saw where the abyss was going, didn't he?

"Destination?

"Oh, you've probably seen someone swallowed or swallowed by the abyss. I can only assume so. Well, you're not afraid of the abyss, are you? Well, that's what the dead thought. I still don't get it."

Apparently, he doesn't know about the other two.

"Right..."

Then Ver stood up and went to the kitchen.

"No, Master? You haven't said anything to me since I got here. Can I get you something to drink?

Ver opened the fridge and told me so.

"Want a drink? You got a drink?

With that said, there are scattered sacks of sweets and empty cans of beer.

"It's obvious, right? This is the master's house, right? What's in the memory of the master?"

"What?... you say it's my house? Sure looks like my house..."

"I don't know, the dungeon itself says it's the master's house. In the first place, a dungeon, like me, was born at the same time that the abyss dwelt in the master. And he shows himself only once in his life for the host and his half to meet him. That's the dungeon."

"Hmm?...... hmm?

"What? Don't you get it?

I sorted out Ver's words once.

The dungeon's my house?

Speaking of dungeons, familiar. It's about the labyrinth.

It's filled with monsters and crates, and it stifles the curiosity of adventurers.

You think that's my house?

"Master? I'm the master's half. So somehow, you know what the master thinks? You should get away from that stereotype for once. What the master thinks of as a" dungeon ”is that it was decided by the unscrupulous imagination of the dead. In the first place, a dungeon is a place where the king's candidate resides, a bridge for the candidate to meet his half body."

Ver just said it was as natural as it sounded, that's what he said.

The dungeon is my house.

That's the truth, he said.

"Then ask at last. So is this house, but why is it that inside the dungeon was my school, or if you did, you've been questioning me?

"Is that because the master was swallowed by the abyss? I thought the dungeon did it on its own, didn't I?

"Did you do it on your own?... then it's like you're willing to do the dungeon?

"What are you talking about? It's decided, isn't it? Half-body and dungeon, these two are part of the master, and just as I am willing, so is the dungeon."

With that said, Ver came out of the fridge as far as he could hold the beer.

Honestly, my head is confused and I don't know why.

Is that a dungeon? Is this your house?

"Don't think hard, okay? You said that earlier, didn't you? That's the master's bad habit. Accept it all with your“ fantasy ”!“ It's fantasy here, so it's everything. "What?

Ver said so, open the beer, gahaha! And he was laughing, moisturizing his throat.

"Phew... did they say that earlier? It's all a prospect, isn't it?

"I don't know because I was watching it on TV. Well, anyway, the information is shared, and I don't need it."

In the words, "I was told earlier," I remembered.

It was when Doppeller first looked like Saab.

"Speaking of which, before I got here, well, you know, there was a lot going on, right?

"Right... I've been watching a lot..."

I'll say half a body or something, and I'll give it back to you like some other HR. Ver.

"That's when my left eye was glowing red, you know what? Wouldn't you know that?

Then Toa also listened.

"Oh, I know. That is proof that the abyss has become tame!

Ver seemed happy for some reason, that's what he said.
