◆ Sword Maiden Shirone
It was easy to come to the Republic of Ariadia.
Chiyuki set up the Transfer Gate Dimension Gate in advance at the Temple of Lena in the Republic of Ariadia.
This should be the first time we've built a transfer gate outside of the Republic of San Lenaria.
Because in order to create a Metropolitan Gate, we need a wide area where we can draw a magical formation that will become a Metropolitan Gate.
It is only the Lena Church that will provide the place.
Therefore, the transfer gate cannot be set unless there is a country with a large Temple of Lena.
However, that would have allowed us to set up a transfer gate for the Kingdom of Veros and other countries.
Speaking of why not, it seems that Chiyuki doesn't want to broaden Mr. Reiji's scope of action.
I don't know why, but I remember saying that.
Yet we created the gateway to the Republic of Ariadia because it is rich and at the heart of the continent.
It seems that Chiyuki intends to base the Republic of Ariadia outside the Republic of St. Lenaria.
"Yes, Reggie and I broke up on four levels...."
Yes, Master Shirone.
That's what the woman named Reilia told me.
It feels stranger to be kneeling before someone older than me.
Reilia is the priest of the Temple of Reina in the Republic of Ariadia. This is also a room of the Temple of Lena in the Republic of Ariadia.
The Republic of Ariadia is weak in the Lena sect and the temple is considerably smaller than the Audis Temple.
Still, Ariadia is a big city.
It is about the same size as a country with a population of about 100,000.
There are many priests and believers working in the temple.
The Temple of Lena in the Republic of Ariadia has dozens of priests on top of one high priest.
Leelia was one of them.
However, Reilia is a priest, but she does not work in the temple.
That is because Leiria is an apostle. Lena is a god who protects people's lives from monsters. The believers who became apostles often went out to exterminate monsters outside the temple without performing the work of the temple.
She is also said to be a freedom fighter and a monster killer.
He usually lives in Tessecia, a free city north of the Republic of Arias, and doesn't come to the Republic of Arias very often.
But now she's here.
Because it was the angel who made Railia an apostle, the Maiden of War, under Lena's command.
The War Maiden has ordered us to help.
Coming to the Republic of Ariadia, we meet with Leiria.
She was with Reggie when he entered the labyrinth of evil gods.
In one room of the temple, besides us, the high priest and Leelia are kneeling before us.
"Now, may I ask you to show me the fourth floor?
I'll ask Leelia.
"Please wait, Shirone!!
Suddenly Kaya, who was lying beside her, called out.
"What's the matter, Kaya?
Kyoka-san was surprised by Kaya's sudden voice.
Shirone-sama, miss. The opponent is the one who captured the Reiji. It's dangerous to go into the labyrinth without a plan. "
"But Kaya! Raj, your lives are in danger."
"That's right, Kaya. Oniisama's life is in danger. We have to hurry and help them."
Kyoka-san agrees.
But Kaya shakes her head.
"No, miss. Until Reiji is executed. We still have time. Until then, I'll think of something.
We should. "
"Even so... what kind of hands do you have, Kaya?
I'm hungry for Kaya.
Kaya is right in reason. But my heart didn't calm down.
"To be clear, we won't be able to do it. In the first place, I am the opponent to capture Reiji and Chiyuki. You can just stick it in there and get caught."
Kaya is right.
Sure could be.
Reiji and Chiyuki are strong. [M]
If you plunge into the dark clouds where you can't get out of here, I'll be caught too.
But even if I knew, I couldn't help but move.
I always do.
I can't stand still. I'm always worried about Croki because of that.
"Oh no... So there's nothing you can do about it, Kaya?
Kaya shakes her head at Kyoka-san's words.
"We can't do this alone. So I think we should ask for outside help."
That's how Kaya sees Rijena.
Rijena is here. From St. Lenaria, Kaya brought him here somehow.
"Um, what is it?
Rijena was confused by the sudden attention.
"Mr. Rijena. Can you help me, Kuroki?
Kyoka-san and I howl at Kaya's words.
That's right. That's why you brought Rijena, because Kaya thought we couldn't do it alone to help you, Reggie. And I came up with the idea of borrowing Kuroki's help.
Certainly Croki is strong. If I could use Kuroki's help, it would be a hundred manpower.
And Rijena is still connected to Croki. We should be able to get in touch.
Why didn't you think of that?
I have to think of something like this first.
Smack me in the head without thinking.
"Milord's hand...? I can't do that. Reiji is the enemy of Nargol's husband. You can't make a request to help an enemy."
Rijena leans down and answers.
"Such an enemy... Croki is not an enemy. Kuroki is only in Nargor because she is captured by a witch named Kuna. I didn't mean to be hostile to you."
I say so, but Rijena shakes her head.
"Dear Shirone, That's not all. I hear the labyrinth is very dangerous. I can't let him go there."
Rijena turned sideways.
But Kaya laughs when she sees such a Rijena.
That's a pretty mean smile.
"Hey, Regina. Isn't this why you're meeting Kuroki? Wouldn't it be profitable for you to just get in touch?"
Listening to the words, Rijena opened her eyes and looked at Kaya.
"Ugh... that's a very bad word. If you say that... you can't say no... I see. But I just need to contact you....."
Rijena leans down and accepts.
"Fufu. Thank you, Rijena."
Kaya is proud to hear that.
It hurts my conscience to look at it.
However, I wonder why Croki taught me how to contact Rijena only.
Why didn't you tell me? That's a bit of a hook.
I think it's cheating. Above all, you should teach me.
But now I can see Croki again.
I'm sorry about Reggie and Chiyuki, but I was more than happy about it.
◆ Dark Knight Croki
Go to the Haybos God of Ellios.
The residence of the Haybos God was always passing by when he went to the Totona God.
At that time, I will not speak to Haybos God. Hayboss God hates to be called out for nothing.
So I couldn't hear from Haybos that the nut was caught on the way to the Totona God.
Haybos God's reception room is so messy that he thinks it's a warehouse with a variety of materials.
In the middle of the room, I confront Haybos God.
"Well, in that underground palace... no, it was a labyrinth now. That's where I'm going...."
Haybos God looks nasty.
According to Emerald Tablet information, that labyrinth is an insult to Haybos God.
That's why the Haybos God sealed the case.
Ellios has no one to speak of the Haybos God.
Few Dwarves seem to know about the incident.
Ellios' records in the library were not meant to be visible to outsiders.
If Tona hadn't shown me something special, I wouldn't have known.
"Yes, I'm going to go get the nuts. So, Haybos, I need the help of God."
I lowered my head.
The nuts were captured by Rage and the others. The Reige is trapped in a labyrinth in the Minon Plains.
Hayboss God, who built that labyrinth, would know all about it.
"Very well. I'm taking care of the nut guy. I'll help you as much as I can."
Thank you, Haybos God.
I lowered my head.
"But, dark knight. This Haybos built the underground palace, but he later renovated it into a maze. I don't know what happened after I turned into a maze."
Haybos God looks in trouble.
The underground labyrinth I was going to go to wasn't originally a maze.
Lavrus, the feared demon, turned the Modes into a labyrinth. So until the labyrinth, haybos gods don't seem to know.
"It shouldn't have changed that much. So as far as I know, you can tell me."
"Really... Then I'll give you the blueprints of the labyrinth."
"That's enough. Thank you very much."
Thank you again.
Hayboss God removes the stone tablet made of jewelry from the back cupboard.
It appears to be the same as the Emerald Tablet.
Receiving the tablet from Haybos God lowers his head.
Thank you very much. But that's not the only problem. Even if we trample the labyrinth, we still have Lavulus. Lavrus is strong. Can you win, mostly?
Haybos is worried about the word of God.
"Are you that strong, Lavulus...."
"Oh, it's strong. You have to fight the Modes and you have to live."
"I see...."
Haybos nods to the word of God. Sure, it's strong.
I've never had a relationship with Modes. But it's probably stronger than me.
Fighting may cost you your life.
Lavrus would be pretty strong if he had lived to fight the Modes.
I'm starting to get a little anxious.
"Besides, that labyrinth gives Lavulus infinite power. As long as you're there, Lawrence can heal indefinitely. What are you going to do, lord?
Reflect on the words.
I was relieved that Modes said it would be okay for me, but it seemed different.
I don't know if I can win.
"Hayboss God... Is there anything good you can do?
"There's probably no one in that labyrinth who can beat Lavrus. Modeth will win, but I can't let him use his destructive powers."
Haybos says in a fuzzy way.
It appears that Modes tried to enter the Labyrinth to defeat Lawrence before.
But in the Labyrinth, too, Modes will not win unless he fights Lavrus with all his might. And the power of Modes is powerful, and I don't know what happens when I fight with all my might.
That's why Haybos decided he couldn't use his power to stop the dwarves from taking revenge.
The truth is, above all else, you want to avenge yourself.
The dwarves caught with Haybos God were especially the ones he loved.
The fact that the dwarves were killed seems to be sticking a thorn into the heart of Haybos God.
"So you'd better think about getting the nut guy out of here without fighting."
"Is there a way?
"Looks like the nuts are on the fifth floor. It was originally a basement garden. Looks like the Lavrus guy turned it into a prison for trapping humans. It looks like the men they brought in from outside are in prison with them."
According to Haybos, the Minotaurs under Ravulus have captured and enslaved humans there.
"Do you know how to free that prison?
"I don't know.... I didn't build it as a prison in the first place. I don't even know what happened after I went to jail."
"Really...."
"But if you don't build it as a prison, it won't be perfect. There must be a way out. If we look there, we'll figure it out."
Then we need to look into it.
"Well, we need to look into that."
Haybos nods when he says so.
"Well, besides, Unlike Lena's heroes, the nuts will never be executed. Maybe we should go and help the braves when we're done?
That's true.
We'd better go help Raj after he's been executed or freed.
Neither would Lavrus have thought of executing Nut. I think it doesn't matter if it's a bumpy nut.
"That's true... Thank you for all you've taught me, Haybos God. Now it's time to go."
Be careful, Dark Knight.
Haybos God waves his hand.
I lower my head and leave the room behind.
Leaving the room, I see a huge object by the door.
It must be some kind of material.
These clutter items are housed in the dwarf's workshop.
"Why don't you come out?
Tell him who is hiding behind the material.
I knew someone was eavesdropping outside the room.
When I say so, someone wearing a hood comes out of the shadows.
"That's Croki. Is it the power of love?
When someone takes the hood, a beautiful face emerges from the inside.
"Love... Was it you, goddess Lena?"
It was still Lena who was eavesdropping.
I know the signs of this goddess for some reason.
This is the third time I have met this goddess.
The first time was in the Republic of St. Lenaria.
The second is the Kingdom of Rocks.
But the atmosphere isn't the same as when we met before.
I feel like I'm looking at myself with more glossy eyes than before.
In addition, it is worn somewhat better than when I saw it before.
"How did you know you were coming here, Lena?
That was always a question. Obviously this goddess was ambushing herself. I knew I'd come here in advance.
I don't feel watched. How are you monitoring your movements?
"Now, why?
Lena smiled.
What the hell is this goddess thinking? I can't be alarmed.
"Hey, Croki. You're going to that labyrinth, aren't you? Can I come with you?
That's how I came to myself.
"I'm not going to help Reggie."
He answers coldly, turning to his side.
Rumor has it Lena and Raj are lovers.
I didn't feel that way when I met him before.
However, according to the nut information, there seems to be no mistake.
And when I saw him asking for help, the rumor seemed to be true.
Honestly, I envy Raige. I have such a beautiful goddess as a lover while keeping an eye on such beautiful beauties as Shirone.
I envy you enough to shed blood and tears.
I want to be with such a beautiful person myself.
I'm fine because I already have Kuna. I feel strong in my heart, but I can't get rid of my envy.
That's why I don't feel like helping Reggie.
I think my mind is narrow, but I couldn't help it.
And I don't think I need to help.
They are strong. The girls around, not just Raige, are excellent.
I don't think Reiji, who has Shirone and all these beautiful people on his side, needs some help.
Shirone also said that there was no need to worry because there was Reiji.
It was nothing but a shame to be worried about myself.
So don't worry about it anymore.
I think I'll let myself do it.
"Fufu, this has nothing to do with Reggie. I just want to be with you."
When Lena said that, she looked at her face with a puzzling smile.
Hey!!! Near!! Close!!
I'm wearing armor now, but I'm holding my helmet by my side. In other words, I put out my face.
That's why Lena's incredibly beautiful face is approaching.
Do you lie like that to help Reggie?
There is no reason why Lena wants to be with herself.
"I'm cheating on her. You should be with me until he's gone. It was hard to get out. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I'll see you again."
That's how Lena takes her arm.
"Hey!? Lena!???
Confused.
Does she mean Kuna?
Kuna is not in good shape yet, so she is resting in her own mansion in Nargor.
When I told Haybos to go to God to save Nut, I wanted to go with him, so it was hard to calm down.
I hope you'll be a good boy.
But how does Lena know about it?
"Come on, Croki. With the transfer gate set by Chiyuki, you should be able to wear it right away. Let's go from there."
Lena pulls her arm when she says so.
I haven't said I'm coming with you yet. But somehow I couldn't defy Lena.
I was pulled like a donadona calf.
◆ Freedom Warrior Girl Shizufe
"Ha!!
I wave the wooden sword to Novis.
"Yikes!!
However, the wooden sword is easily knocked out with Novis' wooden sword.
"Yikes!!!
Keena's sister's stick is shaken by Novis from the side.
But Novis flew back quickly and avoided it easily.
Me and Kaina's sister keep a distance from Novis.
You've been fighting between me and Kenna's sister for a while, but you're no match for Novis.
That's what they call fire heroes.
"I quit...."
Suddenly Novis resolves his stance.
"What's the matter, Novis?!
"No. Shizufe doesn't improve against me...."
"Excuse me! I thought you told me to hang out with sword practice!!
In the first place, me and Kaina's sister were engaged in sword practice at Novis' request.
"I mean, there's no choice... Shizufe is the only one close enough to take on swords. Besides, I can't get hurt, so I can't really... This isn't going to be a practice partner."
Novis sounds sad, but it doesn't matter what he says.
"Already.... That said, I can't deal with you. But what really happened suddenly? You want to learn how to practice swords?
I doubt it.
I wonder why I suddenly want to get stronger, so I'm told to take care of my sword. This has never happened before.
But Novis can't respond to the words.
"Wow, after seeing the Light Warrior, this is what happens."
"Kaina sister!!
Keena's sister embraces Novis with a smile on her back.
I sigh when I hear that.
Apparently, I still have a sense of confrontation with Reiji. But no matter how hard you try, I don't think Novis can beat Lady Reggie.
But it would be good to try to be strong.
Maddy also saw the Dark-haired Wise Man and said she had to work hard, so she went to the sorcerers' association in Ariadia and was studying. That's why I'm not here right now.
We are now practicing swords in the backyard of Ishtia Temple.
Originally, this is a place where the laundry of the witches serving the goddess of love and beauty, Ishtia, dries, so men cannot enter.
However, I have received several requests from the Temple of Istia. At that time, I became acquainted with the witches of the temple, so I was given special use.
The Temple of Ishtia is large enough to be kind to me, a fellow Feria.
Had this been the Temple of Feria, it would have led to conversion.
In the first place, it is generally said that the Ferians and the Istians are not friendly.
But that's because the Ferians hate Ishtia unilaterally.
Because in the teachings of Feria, the goddess of marriage, it is said that it is better to be chaste to her husband. And Feria is one with her husband, Audis, the king of gods.
In contrast, Ishtia, the goddess of beauty, has mistressed several male gods.
In other words, Ishtia is against the teachings of Feria.
That is why the Ferians hate the Istians.
But if I don't mind being a Ferian, it's not a problem.
Moreover, unlike the Republic of Ariadia in this free city of Tececia, the Istian community is powerful and cannot afford to defy them.
But if you don't care about doctrine, all the witches who serve Ishtia are easy to get along with.
Also, I was still a child when I arrived in the city, and I was taken care of by the witches of the Istian community at that time.
That's why I can't say anything.
And now, in the backyard, besides me and Kane's sister and Novis, there are the witches in the temple who got along with Nora.
Some of these witches are obviously coming to see Novis.
Novis is amazing enough, even if it doesn't reach Reggie. I don't think it's necessary to think that way.
"Hah... I don't know if I can beat Reiji, but you should learn from a real martial arts teacher, not mine.
I say Novis shakes his head.
"I thought about that, too. I had a fight with a famous swordsmanship teacher before... I was denied an introduction everywhere."
"Ah, that's what happened before... Then no one will teach me a sword around here...."
Novis had crushed one of the swordsmanship dojos before.
The swordsmanship dojo seemed to be a bad place, but no one would teach Novis the sword after what happened.
"Then why don't you beg the Light Warrior for advice, boy. He's strong, and it should be okay if the boy waves his sword with all his might."
Nora, who was looking beside her, called out.
"Stop being a boy, Nora. I'm not a boy anymore."
"Oh, I'm sorry... I forgot to grow up fast. Excuse me."
I don't know how old Elf Nora is, but she's probably been alive for over a hundred years.
From Nora's perspective, all humans are children.
"But Novis. I think it makes sense what Nora said."
I think what Nora said is a good idea.
I don't know if you can tell me, but Reiji is strong. Much better than us.
"Sure, but.... I don't know."
I don't think Novis likes it.
"Well, certainly just for a reason. You don't want to beg the brave man of light to teach you ~ ~ Then why don't Novis and the sword maiden teach you?
Kaina says softly.
I don't know why I hate Mr. Reiji.
"The Sword Maiden? What is it, Kaina?
"What, you don't know, Novis? I'm one of the brave men of light. Looks like he wasn't there at the time. Anything but swordsmanship is more than a hero of light."
"Really, Kaina sister!!
Novis' amazing voice.
Speaking of which, I've also heard from Chiyuki. It seems that there is a woman called the sword maiden among friends other than the women who went into the labyrinth together.
His name must have been Shirone.
The woman is as beautiful as any other woman with Reiji. Rumor has it that the sword technique seems to be dancing.
However, I hear that the person is acting differently from Reiji and the others.
They should be far north by now.
"But... How do you beg me to tell you that? You're far away, aren't you?
"Oh, that's it, Shizufe. Everything seems to be coming here. It looks like Leelia is picking up the maiden of the sword."
"Eh, is that so?
Reilia is on a mission to the Temple of Lena in Ariadia.
I didn't ask you what your business was, but I didn't know it was.
Well then, the maiden of the sword is coming here. She must be beautiful after all. Ehehehe "
The area under Novis' nose stretches visibly.
I don't know what you're thinking. I'm a little angry.
Because Reiji is here, I don't think Novis has a chance.
But I also care. What does he look like?
It's not Novis, but I want to learn the sword.
Because I want to be strong, too. I am weak.
Shirone the Sword Maiden. I wanted to see him.
"Novi ~!!
I can hear this voice all of a sudden.
I've known him a long time since he appeared with his voice.
"" Justy!!
My voice and that of Novis overlap.
I've known Novis since I was a kid.
Her name is Justine. When I call you Justy, I call you Justy a little shorter. She is a witch who serves Ishtia.
A girl of the same generation I knew when I first came here. I used to play with Maddie and Novis when I was little.
The Justy runs with Dota Dota.
"If you're back, you can call me, Novis!!
That's how I hug Novis. Justy hasn't seen Novis since he got back.
"Ufuu!!
Novis seems to suffer.
Justy is a pretty big girl from my point of view. And it can be the power of a man to lose face. Novis, embraced by a girl, does not seem happy but painful.
In fact, she is the sister of Gordon, the brave man of the earth. It was only the other day that I learned about it.
I was really surprised when Justy told me.
Speaking of which, they are somehow alike.
"Oh, Shizufe. Were you there?
Justy hugs Novis and says.
Justy has liked Novis since she was a kid and somehow hates me.
Justy seems to think I like Novis. It's not like that.
But it's not interesting to be told as if you weren't there while you were aware of it.
"Didn't you notice from the beginning, Justy? Sorry, I'm not as big as you."
I laugh and look at Justy's stomach and say.
"Yes, Shizufe. Your breasts are too small for me to notice."
"Ha!!
My breasts are by no means small. At least it's bigger than Maddie or Nora. Finally, Justy is too big.
However, Justy's chest is big, but she doesn't regret it at all because her torso is also quite big. But it's a little uncomfortable.
"What, you're just fat!!
"I'm not fat! It's a bit of a mess!!
Justy and I looked at each other.
"Wait, wait! You Novis are bubbling!!
Kaina's sister, who was watching beside her, walks in between.
Novis, who was hugged by Justy, was blowing bubbles.
"Haaa-Novis!!
Stop Justy from hugging and shake Novis.
Don't try to strangle Novis, the hero of fire, down, Justy. That's what I thought.
