◆ Little Villain Marshas
"Damn it... I failed."
Murmur as you walk along the moonlit night path.
Shenna was supposed to throw herself into the sea, but she fell on the verge of avoidance.
At that time, I dropped the whistle from Ainoe's sister.
"What should I do...? If you stay like this, this Marcus is finished....."
Honestly, I want to escape.
But that would be difficult.
Running away from that witch must mean more terrible revenge.
Besides, I have nowhere else to go.
Also, I don't want to go back to mud.
That's why you have to forgive me somehow.
With that in mind, we arrive at our destination.
We arrived at the darkest spot in the Republic of Ariadia.
The Republic of Ariadia has three walls.
This is because as the city of Ariadia grew bigger, it sometimes built walls outside.
However, the expansion of the city has stopped decades ago.
And where I am now is outside all the walls. I mean, outside the city.
Anyone can enter and live in this place.
Of course, criminals who have been expelled from other countries can enter.
Outside the city, there are many organizations that criminals have gathered to create.
And there are also cults that worship monsters in criminal organizations.
This cult controls and controls Ariadian criminal organizations. In other words, the ruler of the shadow of Ariadia.
Without citizenship and no backing whatsoever, I had to be a freedom fighter or a criminal.
Well, I didn't have the confidence to push myself so I had to choose the latter.
As you walk, you can see a large building ahead.
The building is wooden but quite splendid.
It is a seemingly ordinary canteen and inn, but the reality is that it is home to criminal organizations.
This inn has an underground altar where the devil with the black goat's head is featured.
There must be Ainoe's sister here.
Yeah?
So I noticed someone at the entrance.
There is a man standing at the entrance.
I don't look like a traveler. I'm not dressed to travel. A man's clothes are common everywhere.
What are you doing?
Are you looking for a prostitute?
The employee of this cafeteria and inn is also a prostitute.
Perhaps one of them is your daughter.
He looks grown-up, but the bastards are all skeletons if they peel off. I'm sure of it.
Or perhaps a male prostitute is the target, but somehow it doesn't feel like that.
I've seen a lot of homosexuals before, but they're different.
But I doubt it. Why don't you go inside?
All I can think of is that this man is a virgin.
Probably the first time you've invited a whore. That's why I can't get in without knowing.
She looks like she would grow up well.
Looking closely, he looks so well that he wants to punch me.
I can think of something there.
If we take him, he may forgive us.
Trafficking in human beings.
I'm sorry, but I'll let this man be a sacrificial sheep.
It would be good to sacrifice the witches, or to soak them in medicine and turn them into prostitutes.
This man's family might be looking for him.
However, if you learn that you tried to enter such a store, you will try to hide it.
That way, the investigation won't get to me.
So there should be no problem.
"Hey, brother. What are you doing there?
I speak softly.
Then the man turns around.
She looks a little surprised. I don't suppose you didn't think you'd be able to speak up suddenly.
"Nothing in particular....."
Men say so with difficulty.
Exactly what I thought. It is silent on buying a whore, but it is prohibited by nature.
Anyone born into a real house will hesitate.
But I can't get rid of the feelings I want from a woman.
I wonder why this is the way it is.
"If you like, I'll show you around. I'm related to this store. I can introduce you to any girl."
When I say so, the man opens his eyes and looks at us.
And when I think about something, I look at it again.
If that's the case, thank you.
The man laughs with a smile.
I don't see any vigilance around here. I smile at it. [M]
"It's settled. Follow me, brother."
I'll take the man into the shop.
The first floor of the shop is a restaurant and a tavern.
Since the sun has already fallen, the lights are lit inside the store.
Many people come to the tavern for drinks.
Some of them will have citizenship.
This is because there is citizen support behind the silence in the shops where these prostitutes are located.
Whether you have citizenship or not, there is no way that human nature will change.
Even though it is contrary to the teachings of the goddess Feria, Ishtia is counted among the twelve gods because she cannot deny her existence.
That must be why Audis, the king of gods, welcomed Ishtia to the twelve gods.
I go to the back of the shop avoiding drunks and employee women and men.
Men follow with no doubt.
What an idiot he is! There is a terrible fate ahead.
Enter the back of the shop and walk down the aisle. Then enter a room.
The room is just a warehouse.
"Where are we?
The man seems a little confused because he was brought to the warehouse.
Hehe, well, look at that.
When I laugh, I approach a cupboard.
Then move the cupboard sideways. Then a staircase leads to the basement.
Oops!
A man shouts in surprise.
"Kuku, surprised? I'm going into the basement from here, okay? There's a beautiful woman in there."
I'm not lying.
The witches are all beautiful.
Maybe it's the most magical trick I've ever seen.
"That's good. I don't know why you're being so kind to me, but it's helpful."
The man says thank you.
How stupid is that?
There wouldn't normally be a woman in the basement.
Don't you think that's a little strange?
Maybe he grew up in a privileged environment where he could live without questioning people.
I feel a black flame in my heart.
I want to beat this guy to the bottom of my misfortune.
You're going to be sacrificed.
I laugh in my heart.
Get down to the basement with the man.
I didn't just dig the ground underground.
Stones, floors, and ceilings are neatly leveled and the ground is not peeling out.
I don't know who built this basement. Quite a skill.
However, given the existence of the devil who gave Ainoe magic, there may not be any action like this.
Walk with a man through a wide underground corridor. The walls are lit so it's not dark.
The man follows me honestly without saying anything.
Walking leads you to a large place.
There are the usual witches and men in robes in the room.
I've never seen men in robes before.
Except for the man standing at the head, he is wearing a white mask.
The mask is easy to build and the eyes and mouth are just a little empty.
Who are they?
I feel a bad sign from those wearing white masks.
Once in the square, Ainoe and the others will see us.
"Hmm, you didn't run away. Marcus. Well, there's no way we can escape. I have a curse on you."
Ainoe looks at us and says.
"I can't believe I'm running away... By the way, Mr. Ainoe. How about you guys?
I see men in robes distracting me from the subject.
"Hmm, you don't need to know, but I'll tell you something special. This is Lord Talaboss, vice president of the Society of Magicians. I don't know who we're working with."
Ainoe sees the only man in a mask and tells me.
The man is certainly dressed as a sorcerer.
But I didn't think the vice president of the sorcerers' association was a collaborator.
"Lord Ainoe. Even if you don't talk like that....."
Talaboss said in a troubled tone.
It's certainly not a good thing to talk about. It's important to know that the vice president of the sorcerers' association is working with witches.
However, Ainoe is not a hard mouth. Besides, there are some places that are fairly missing.
He talks to me about serious things.
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry. Lord Talaboss. But who is that man? Isn't he one of the good guys?"
Ainoe looks at the man and says.
"Heh heh. That's right. I was wondering if it would be good for the gentlemen."
When I say so, I quickly turn around behind the man and pull out the dagger.
We have to push this man out and get him to forgive us for his malaise.
"Don't move. Brother."
Point at the dagger and I say in a low voice.
Now you will realize that the man has been deceived. But it's too late. I won't let you escape.
Watch the man react.
But men don't react at all.
Something is wrong.
"You're Zeal! I need to ask you something!!!
Suddenly a man screams.
When I named myself Zeal, Ainoe and the witches in the vicinity shouted in surprise.
Zeal is the name of the devil who made Ainoe a witch.
How does this man know?
The man's gaze is towards Ainoe.
However, I don't feel like I'm watching Ainoe.
Looks like he's looking at the space behind Ainoe. There is nothing in that space.
"Hmm... Can you see me? Who are you?"
A loud voice sounds in the room.
It was then. A huge figure emerges from behind Ainoe.
It resembles Saturus, but unlike Saturus, it has black hair and a head closer to the goat. And it's bigger in muscle than the Saturus I've seen before.
The black saturos looks at us.
"Hey!?
I can't stand the pressure of that gaze. Sit on the floor.
Talaboss looked at Black Saturus in surprise.
Not surprised among them are the witches and the man next door.
Look at the man next door. Nothing surprises me when Black Saturus shows up.
It is flat.
"I've never seen you before. Zeal. Sir Ulbalt told me about you."
A man says to Black Saturus.
Who the hell is this guy?
It's flat, not surprising when I look at the black saturos.
For the first time, I realize that a man is not just a man.
"You know Mr Wolvert! Who are you? You're not just human!!
Black Saturus screams.
"That's right... I wonder if it's easier to understand when you look like this."
When a man says so, a black flame envelops his body.
And when the black flame went out, there was a knight in black armor standing in the place where the man was standing.
"Stupid?! Dark Knight! What about you?!... no, you guys..."
Suddenly Black Saturus kneels.
"Exactly! Zeal! You're right. I need to ask you something! Answer me, Zeal!
That's what a man called the Dark Knight said.
A powerful wind is emitted from the Dark Knight.
"Gh...."
When I was in the wind, I moaned and fell to the ground.
An unspeakable fear rises from the depths of your body.
My feet tremble. I can't stand.
When I look down on my face, I can see Einoye and Taraboshi also falling to the ground and trembling.
The demon called Zeal has not fallen, but he is trembling.
But the men in the mask behind the Talaboss are standing normally.
"Ahh....."
I can hear voices coming from the entrance of this room.
Someone is kneeling when he turns his face to the other side.
Probably my feet are slowing down due to fear.
And I'm surprised to see that face.
"Shenna...."
It was Shenna who was at the entrance.
◆ Dancer Shenna
"Where is he going?
The drowned Marcus recovered quickly with the healing magic of the Virgin Sahoko.
And the recovered one went out of the theater quarters at night.
It is not a bad thing to go out of the dormitory at night.
Commander Midas admits to be free if there is no obstacle to industry.
Nothing in particular tomorrow.
The troupe is postponing the play to entertain the brave.
That's why some of the troupe members went out to the tavern.
It looks like Ainoe's sister has gone somewhere.
Maybe she went to her lover.
I follow Marshall.
Marshas is heading for a pleasure town outside the castle wall.
He knows he goes there from time to time.
I couldn't find it yesterday, but which store are we going to?
"But I can't escape this Shenna, Marshas."
Remove footsteps and signs.
It's easy for me to learn how to walk without making a sound.
After a while, Marshas walks to the biggest shop in the city.
When I looked for that shop yesterday, Marshall wasn't there.
"Is that it? That man is definitely...."
Talk to a man in front of the store with Marshas.
I recognized the man's face.
A man who was with a woman my brother Dekius called the Goddess of Moonlight.
Why are you here? Could he be one of Marshas' associates?
But from this position, I can't hear what I'm talking about.
Marshas and the man go into the store.
I'll go in there and follow them.
When I entered the store, some people looked at me and turned away as soon as they lost interest.
I'm not dressed as a dancer now. He hides his face and body in a hooded robe.
Sometimes people hide their identity in shops like this.
Such a person hides his face when entering the store, so I shouldn't look so strange.
Below these clothes, I bring my favorite two sabres and some weapons.
Marshall wasn't the only one who manipulated Carquinos. Someone is pulling his hand behind his back.
And they must be dangerous.
You should be careful.
When they enter the store, they can see them entering the back of the store.
I found out yesterday when I entered this store, but I'm sure there's no entry except for the people involved.
Why would Marshas let me through?
But I don't have time to think about that.
The two of you go ahead.
But it's hard for me to get inside because of the eyes of the employees.
So what do we do?
I keep my sword small so that no one else can see it.
A hand-thrown sword is a small sword that fits in the palm of your hand.
I threw the sword with my hands only on my wrists.
A hand-thrown sword hits a customer's shoe at his feet.
Guests with shoes sewn on the floor fall down.
It would just look like the customer fell down drunk.
A fallen drunk throws alcohol and food on the floor that he meets on the table.
At that time, there was a loud noise and the eyes of the customers and employees turned towards you.
I flew without making a sound at the blind spot of the gaze and kicked the wall and slipped into the place where Marshas went.
This is the same procedure as magic. Focus the customer on the right hand and move secretly with the left hand.
However, you won't be able to do it without a body technique that moves quickly without making a sound.
The employee who was standing near the entrance didn't even notice me.
I will follow after Marshas.
There are multiple doors in the passage.
Where did you enter the room?
I hear when I take off my hood.
Then I feel a sign of people coming from a room.
I can hear the voice clearly when I sneak up on the room.
"Kuku, surprised? I'm going into the basement from here, okay? There's a beautiful woman in there."
The voice of Marshas.
"That's good. I don't know why you're being so kind to me, but it's helpful."
I hear a man thanking me.
Then you hear something moving.
The signs of people disappear from inside.
I'm going in.
The room seemed to be a normal warehouse. I don't see a place to get down.
"That's funny. I should have been in this room."
I look carefully at the floor and the wall.
Eventually, we find traces of moving one of the cabinets.
"Looks like this."
Check the cupboard and move it sideways. Then, a staircase descending into the basement appears.
"I wonder what's waiting for me..."
I'll go down to the basement and follow Marshas.
Walking down the corridor, you can see a large space ahead.
In the middle of the room is a man who was with Marshas and the Goddess of Moonlight.
I hide in the shadow of the entrance to the room and watch what is going on inside.
Outside the room stands people who look like magicians.
Then he looks into the back of the room and breathes.
"Shh... Ainoe sister"
Ainoe's sister was in the back of the room.
But I was more surprised than that.
A man with a black goat head stood next to Ainoe's sister.
Saturus talks something to the man who was with the moonlight goddess next to Marshas.
Then suddenly a black flame envelopes the man's body.
And when the black flame disappeared, there was a knight in black armor standing in the place where the man was standing.
Seeing it, I suddenly feel like I'm making a voice.
I can hear Black Saturus calling the knight the Dark Knight.
I don't know what's going on anymore.
It was then. A fierce wind blows from the Dark Knight.
"Eh...."
It was when I was exposed to the wind. Suddenly my feet began to tremble.
I can't bear to put my knees on the floor.
At that time, he leaves into the interior of the room.
I see multiple lines of sight looking at me.
When I raised my face, Marshas and I met each other.
"Shenna...."
Marcus calls me by my name.
I was noticed. We have to run.
I slap my feet and get up by force.
My leg hasn't returned yet. But it tastes bad if you don't run away.
I hurried back the way I came.
I feel something coming after me.
Hurry!!
I take off the robe I was wearing to hide my face and make it easy to move.
Running up the stairs and back to the first floor, you run to the shop exit.
The employee woman who saw me was surprised, but I don't care.
Exit the drunk shop.
Then I hear anger from inside the store.
Probably got into a fight with someone who came after him.
Make some distance in the moment.
My feet are confident. Is it easy to catch up?
Run through the crowd.
And it was when I came to the less popular place.
A man suddenly stood in front of him in a white mask.
"Lie! When!!
A man wearing a mask waves his sword.
Fast.
I shy away from the back and hold my sword.
It is dangerous to turn your back because the opponent moves fast.
When I judge aggressively, I scratch the opponent's sword and pay for it.
The white masked man who was waving his sword fell from his head to the ground.
I'll run away in the meantime.
I ran away and looked a little behind me.
Those with white masks try to get up quickly without feeling any pain.
And I saw it.
A face peeking from a cracked mask that hits the ground. It wasn't the face of a living man.
I run.
I am picking up signs of multiple pursuers.
The speed is unusual. It's not a human move.
"I can't help it....."
I touch the curved sword on my left and right hips.
Then, remove the small water bag containing the medicine from the pocket.
What's in the water bag is the psychic Asash. Drinking this will give you powerful power for a period of time.
Originally, magician Getafix improved the magical fruit water that the bears of Garmi drink. I hear the hero Asterix fought a powerful monster by drinking it.
But Assash is a dangerous medicine.
Instead of gaining powerful power, it can destroy your body if you can't control it.
However, I was trained to be okay with this medicine.
My mother trained me. Neither my father nor my brother will know about this.
My mother was an Assassin.
We are warriors defending Ishtia's followers, called Asashin, from where the psychotropic drug Asash is used.
Ishtia's followers are often against the law. There are many cases where the laws of other countries are not followed.
That is why the believers needed help in self-defense.
Assassin was the result.
However, they are not good at fighting because they are not a warrior's sect.
That's why I decided to use a dangerous drug called Asash.
And Ishtia's followers do not necessarily fight against monsters. Even humans fight each other.
Assassin buries in the darkness without being noticed by the cult's followers.
The darkness is to keep the soldiers of the country from capturing them. If you kill him from the front, he won't be arrested.
However, I leave a mark that he was killed because he harmed Ishtia's followers.
In this way, no one would want to harm Ishtia's followers.
And Assassin became synonymous with the assassin from the dark side.
I drink Asash dry.
What would my brother look like if he found out he was on banned drugs?
They will definitely try to stop it.
But it is not the case that I am thinking about such a thing now.
Drinking Asash brings vitality from the bottom of your body, and your strength is recognized.
And it tells us that a more sharp feeling is surrounded.
The opponent is slowly approaching.
I fly.
With increased leg strength, I can fly to the roof of a two-story building with just one kick at the wall.
However, the opponent also came up on the roof.
It's an amazing physical ability.
I can see the target coming after me by climbing up to the roof.
Everyone is wearing a magician's robe and a white mask on their face.
Their movements will be as good as mine.
Walking on unstable roofs without cowardice.
Each of the masked holds a weapon.
I even have a heavy mace inside. I wonder if it's not only fast but also powerful.
I pull out the two knives on my hips.
"Come, I will show you the swordsmanship of the servants of Ishtia."
The masked ones are coming.
With the sword of the nearest masked person, I shake the curved sword sideways and slit the opponent's neck.
Then, when the masked person who came from behind bent down while rotating the mask that was shaking beside him, he slashed the other person's leg and ran backwards.
As soon as I left the two masked men, a masked man with two daggers in his left and right hands attacked me from above.
Move the two daggers sideways and rotate them to slash the opponent's left arm.
However, the opponent only attacked with his right arm, even though he had his left arm cut off.
You don't seem to feel any pain.
And the attack is pretty fast.
I feel two masked men with big swords and spears approaching me when I'm dealing with a little swordsman.
I concentrate my mind on someone with a dagger.
A great sword and spear are thrown at me.
However, the attack did not hit me and hit the masked man with the dagger.
A masked man with a small sword is torn to pieces by a spear and a large sword and is incapable of moving.
It is illusion.
Ishtia's followers use illusion magic to protect them. I can use a little magic because I have a little protection from it.
Drinking Asash increased my magic. I can use more powerful illusions.
That magic made my illusion a substitute.
The great sword and spear sliced through my phantom and cut the man with the small sword who was facing me.
I don't seem to have any pain, but I think I have vision, so I used it.
I cut my neck from behind while the masked man with the spear and the great sword was being armed by the masked man with the small sword.
Even though Asash has become stronger, I can't cut off my neck, but it must be fatal.
But the blood doesn't blow out.
The masked man with the great sword and spear is moving normally.
I feel a rookie coming and run to another roof.
However, a different mask approached from where he had fled.
A masked swordsman with a chopped neck and a masked mace with a chopped leg are coming after us.
I wonder if he's not human.
The total number of masks is thirteen.
It's a pretty tough situation.
Asash gives me powerful power, but I can't stand it if I keep using it for a long time.
Even with the previous offensive, it was difficult to control the force.
What do you want me to do?
I can stretch my mind.
"Wow... Nice move."
Suddenly a voice is heard from above.
Looking up, a knight wearing black armor on the back of the moon is floating in the sky.
"You...."
The appearance is very fantastic, but it is not a case of falling in love.
That's the dark knight in the basement. I can't be alarmed.
Dark Knight descends onto the roof.
"I'll take care of you from here on out."
Dark Knight waves his right hand when he says so. Then all the masked ones will be blown away.
I didn't know what I had done.
Was it some kind of magic?
I see the Dark Knight.
The opponent is alone, but the situation has not improved.
This dark knight is probably much stronger than the masked ones.
"I tried to help you... I don't think so. It was such a beautiful move that I fell in love with her."
Dark Knight says to me.
What does it mean to help? I don't understand the meaning.
But I don't have time to think. We will not escape unless we defeat this dark knight.
I run toward the Dark Knight.
Then, when you create multiple swords with illusion, you release them to the Dark Knight.
The phantom sword goes straight to the Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight gently moves his right hand.
Two hand-thrown swords concealed from the phantom sword were held in his hand.
"Monster!!
I couldn't help but say so.
When I approached the Dark Knight, I moved the two sabres separately, aiming at the other's neck and arm.
What?
I'm about to fall asleep.
The Dark Knight suddenly disappeared right in front of his eyes.
"That's quite a move. It's similar to Reggie's movement. But I think Raige is sharper."
I can hear the dark knight's laid-back tone from behind.
"Are you blind?
I look back and say.
"Oh, you don't have to use illusion. I can do this with just a move."
Dark Knight says plainly.
Captured by the feeling of frozen spine in the words.
Are you telling me you lied to my eyes just by moving?
Besides, I feel relieved by drinking Asash now.
I go back.
I don't feel like I can beat this dark knight in any way.
Then there's only one thing to do.
The opponent doesn't seem to want to kill me right away.
Bet there.
When I suck on the curved sword of my right hand, I take the small pot out of my pocket.
The Dark Knight is looking at us with interest.
Exactly what I thought. The opponent is alarmed that he can beat me at any time.
Close the gap.
I write on the left sword.
And concentrate.
Multiple of me show up.
It's the magic of multiple illusions.
"Hmm...."
The Knight of Darkness shouted.
"Let's go!!
I run to the Dark Knight while crossing the illusion I created.
Moves the Phantom from all directions to the Dark Knight.
I'm sorry, but it's useless.
When the Dark Knight flies, he appears before me.
"Kh!!
I look at the Dark Knight.
"While attacking with a phantom... It's not a bad idea."
I don't think the words of the Dark Knight worked.
But he didn't notice another thing.
I wish my brother would notice. I laugh in my heart with a regrettable face.
"I think I hid the sword that wrote the message when we attacked earlier... I hope they find us."
But I despair of the words of the Dark Knight.
Apparently everything was foreseeable.
Only the whistle I gave my brother will be the clue.
I have no choice but to bet on it.
Let me catch you.
Your body trembles at the words.
It's not like I don't know what kind of eyes a captured woman will see.
Perhaps he will be a tyrant.
I saw the bare face of this dark knight, but I felt a lewd heart hidden in the depths of my grown-up face.
I can see it when I've been in the eyes of a lot of men while I'm dancing.
I'm sure they'll do lewd things that you can't express in words.
Dark Knight raises his right hand.
Then your body relaxes.
"Niisan....."
I felt my consciousness sink into the darkness as I murmured.
