"Rayne, it's time to start, it's time to [get on your knees]"
"Oh, Begim...... of course"
The city of Gaddis is a port town and a commercial city, so the atmosphere varies from district to district. Fishermen and sailors are heard in the harbour district facing the southern Toots Ocean, from which the central district, with its commercial establishments and adventurer guilds, is full of merchants and people. The West and East Sides, where residential neighborhoods are located, are quiet, and the North Side, where bureaux and capitols are located, creates a slightly more difficult atmosphere for those not concerned because of the laying of security.
It is a city with lots of sights and tourists because it is the best on the border, but the most popular of these is the big lighthouse in the harbor district.
Nestled in an embankment that protruded into the sea, this great lighthouse is said to have been around since ancient times when the city was still a small fishing village. Instead, you would be right to say that the Great Lighthouse was ahead and that a fishing village was created around it.
Not sure who built it, this great lighthouse emits dazzling light at night, leading fishermen and sailors to this city.
It is said that some of the great lighthouses are packed with ancient technology and unknown sorcery. Because of this, only a very small number of researchers and technicians were allowed to go inside, and they were never released to the public.
Therefore, both the inhabitants and tourists of Gaddis have no choice but to bring the enormous building from the outside… At the top of its great lighthouse were two figures.
One was a tall, skinny woman. Blonde enough to likely reach sunny and sparkling hips. Style to a neat, intelligent face that ten out of ten men would look back on. My legs are stretched out in tights from a perfect black skirt on my lower body. He wore a blouse with a refreshing sky color on his upper body and a long white, hemmed jacket from above. If anyone is familiar with the culture of the Demon Nation, they will know that it is what is called a white coat, worn by the Demon medical practitioners and researchers.
At first glance, she's just a beautiful woman, but her eyes had inverted white and black eye colors, two horns growing backwards from her head.
And sitting beside that beautiful woman, with an evil grin, was a looking boy who was only about ten years old. He wore tailored clothing with red and white vertical stripes, as if he were the son of an aristocrat, creating a noble atmosphere coupled with silver hair and a beautiful face.
But like the beautiful woman in the white coat next door, the color of her eyes was inverted, and the corners grew from a single forehead.
"Rain, this festival needs eyes (...) balls (...). I want someone who's strong and... most of all, crazy about the flames of jealousy"
The boy called out to the beautiful woman in white next door - Rayne.
"Eyeballs...... Begim. I just need you to jerk off the human stuff around here."
The boy - Begim - sighed at Rayne, who received such expressions as a complete understanding.
"No, you're not, Rain. The eyeballs I just said aren't real eyeballs... they mean the guy who's going to be the star of this festival."
"I see you're the star...... I get it, Begim. - Hmm? Aren't we the stars?
Rain conceived with his hands on his chin.
"I'm not, Rayne. The lead role is only... everywhere... human. Humans and humans fight each other, curse each other, kill each other... and burn each other. You just have to burn it all."
"I see. Begim, you just have to burn it. Burning is a good thing. [Fire forgives everything], right, Begim"
"That's right, Rain. Come on, let's get started [Fire Awakening]. It awakens all mankind to the fire."
The mockery of Begim, laughing at him, never reached anyone.
"So, Mr. Redo, what do you want to do? Is it a crime scene after all first!? Basics of the investigation!
"I guess it doesn't mean I did the adventurer. I mean, you're the one with the men."
"This is Emilia, Emmy's twin sister at the tavern service!
Coming a little behind Redo, who runs down Central District Boulevard, was a well-styled woman - or Emmy - dressed in moveable clothes to blush.
"Making the right settings. It's Emilia, so you can have Emmy."
"It's my first meeting, and all of a sudden you call me by my nickname. Mr. Redo is aggressive! A boulder woman!"
"What's wrong with the perfect black clothes and white mask? That's what you're wearing."
Ledo and Emmy enter the alley, passing the narrow road between the left and right brick buildings.
"Hey, that's a little dull... like before, [Black Blade (Krone)] was actually waiting for me, I won't wear it except when I appeal"
"Mirazelle's gonna sting you."
"Seriously, give me a break about that"
Redo stops in the middle of that alley.
At the same time as Emmy stopped, he threw a small knife that had been removed like a magic trick onto the path he had just come.
"Have you been noticed? Boulder... Boulder is in S-rank, [Black Blade]"
The man showed up at the same time as Emmy's thrown knife was played. Hood on red robe. Unusually long hands and feet. A large swing of dagger is held in both hands.
"Oh man... you're getting hard. Emmy, can you get behind me?"
A man in the same suit stands at the end of the alley. Redo quietly pulled out the song sword and dagger.
"If you're in danger, you'll betray Mr. Redo and I'll survive alone, so it's okay."
Yet there is no gap in Emmy's standing.
"I'm not all right with that."
Ledo kicked the cobblestone at the same time he laughed with his nose. Accelerating in an instant, Redo protrudes the blue dagger forward.
"[Ground protrusion (Guyaridge)]"
By the magic unleashed by Ledo with no chant, a rock protrudes suddenly from the ground on which the red robe man stands and from the left and right walls.
The red-robed man kicked the ground and approached Ledo before being crushed to death by a rock.
"Sick!
A long arm waved unusually in the red robe man. It seemed to Redo that what he held in his hand was liquid applied to the dagger.
Probably poisonous.
"You're packed at a time when you didn't run back."
That's what Redo said, turning the blue dagger to the ground as he played that dagger with the red song sword.
"[Merciless Rock Spear (Klee Gerahi)]"
The unchanging magic unleashed again protrudes a spear made of countless rocks from the floor in front of Ledo, from the walls and from the rock walls made by the earlier magic that filled the back of the man in the red robe.
"Ha ha... are you a local attribute user?"
A red-robed man who jumped to escape upwards, but was skewered in the air by Ledo's sorcery, which had extended to the top of the wall.
"It's the local attributes that I'm best at."
"Let's try to get that information to you."
"We're gonna die before then."
"We're spider puppets anyway. He's more dead than he ever was."
"Huh! You!
Red robe man fires alone in the universe the moment Ledo tries to disarm the magic. Wrapped in a burning flame, it became ash and collapsed into a meltdown.
"Mr. Redo! This one too!"
Looking back, the man whose neck was scratched and slashed burned and collapsed in the same way.
"Shit, should we have pulled some more information?
"I don't think it's worth it. These guys, they're probably dead from the source."
Approaching Ledo as Emmy kicks the burnt-down man.
"It's not a good idea to come out like this directly. We don't have time."
"What do you want to do?
"Ask the defense to cooperate. We're not enough people. There must definitely be demons out there somewhere. We need to find it."
"Other [black blades] and high-ranking adventurers are moving, but so far nothing. Demons are supposed to be easy to understand because they are characteristic of their appearance, but somehow there are many people on top of the big city. However, it is certain that the faithful are gathering in this city."
"Anyway, the devils don't hide there. I'll come out grand when I have to. It's only then that it's too late."
Redo thinks calmly.
First of all, what's the purpose of the Demon Clan? It's not the same nature as the last Demon clan, which is to infer new adventurers from the feel of this case. Ledo had an intuition that this time it was something more evil and... not even Rokuro.
Even more vigilant by the defense and the Adventurer Alliance must be about to happen on a rather large scale.
Destruction of this city - no. That's probably a by-product. It would feel good enough to destroy it at last. Only the surrounding countries are happy that this city is on fire. Do we have to assume, for example, the involvement of other countries?
Why Gaddis in the first place?
"Don't think too much. Not enough information."
"Anyway, do you want to head to Defense Forces headquarters?
"No, someone I know is in the Third Garrison. Rely on him."
"Copy that. Do you want to run?
"Put (...) top (...) on (...) line (...) Let's (...). If something happens, we'll know soon enough"
"Oh, he's kind of an adventurer!
"Really?
Redo kicks the ground, now kicks the left and right walls and climbs to the roof of the left and right building with the trigonometric flying guidelines.
It jumps just as mildly and Emmy follows.
"It's a beautiful day."
Emmy looks out into the sky behind Redo, who runs on the roof.
Blue skies with no clouds. If you lower your gaze, you'll see a big lighthouse over there, and there's a horizon ahead.
It's a peaceful sight.
"I hope nothing happens."
Ledo's solitary words as he headed north were, however, words that could never be fulfilled.
