Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

The time is already getting late.

It's getting much darker around here.

If it were a normal country, it would be around the time when ordinary people and aristocracy would return home.

Because fuel must be saved, the lights are about walls to protect the country from monsters.

However, the rich Republic of Ariadia is bright because of its cheap access to oil and its lamps arranged like streetlights at the edge of the street at night.

I don't have to use magic lights to walk normally.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Nao looks around.

Nao and Dekius are walking in a city outside the walls.

The neighborhood has lodging and dining options for low-income people.

Nao is looking at a woman who is a shopkeeper at the inn.

However, they are both clerks and whores exclusively for the store.

Accommodation and meals are the income of the shop, and overnight love is theirs.

"Already, Nao-san. Don't look too much."

Their clothes are exposed.

Apparently dressed to sue the opposite sex.

"I'm sorry, Chiyuki. Still, ufufu, I didn't think this Nao-san could speak up either."

Nao is delighted to have been invited.

Nao is rarely heard from a man compared to Lino, Sahoko, or Shirone.

That's why you're honestly happy to be invited.

The women in this neighborhood are almost whores.

Outside the walls is this world full of monsters. Few women travel.

For this reason, men are the only ones staying in the inn, and women are the only prostitutes that the man is looking for.

That's why Nao and I walking around the neighborhood were mistaken by prostitutes and talked to a lot of men.

I don't think she looks like a whore, but I don't care about that.

It was hard to get rid of them.

So I'm going to try not to walk away from Dekius as much as possible.

Even so, Nao is happy, but is it happy to be called to such a voice?

I look around, but there is no good man.

Raj is the overwhelming winner on the face alone.

Also, Dekius is quite a beauty. And unlike Raige, he's honest.

The problem is that such a man with a good face and a serious face will not come to me.

... let's not think about it. I'm getting sad.

De Kius has two beautiful women and he doesn't look at them at all. Of course, the hookers around me are out of sight.

Well, if you look at it, it's fine because it's a problem.

When Dekius walks, he sees whores and suspicious people hiding around him.

To tell the truth, I think it was a failure to bring him here.

The Knight of the Law is an unthinkable presence for the people here. Marshas might run.

I think with a horizontal view of Dekius.

That's where I notice what Dekius has.

"Lord Decius. What about the weapon?

"Oh, is this it? Ten hands. I have heard that this is a weapon spread by the Sage. We, the knights of the law, have decided to officially adopt this weapon."

Dekius takes ten hands from his hips.

I didn't tell you the exact size, so it's bigger than I know, but it's definitely ten hands.

Indeed, the Ten Hands are what I taught the police officers of the Republic of St. Lenaria.

I didn't think it was going to this country.

No, I didn't think it was going so far.

"I see, Nao-san... I don't know what's going to spread."

There is also the possibility that strange knowledge of our world will spread. You should be careful.

You have to pay particular attention to Raige and Reno.

It may already be too late...

"Sage. People like Marcias are often in shops around here."

Looks like he's walking to his destination. Dekius looks around and says.

The troupe says Marcias is always around here.

Really? I hope Marshas is walking around... Mr. Nao, can I have a look around?

Marshas's sketch was painted by the troupe members and given to Nao. Even Nao who doesn't see his face directly can tell.

Got it.

The moment you say so, Nao disappears.

What?

Dekius searches for Nao.

It seems that Dekius could not perceive Nao's movements.

I can't see Nao's movements either.

Shirone and Kaya are not perfect.

Only Reggie can see Nao's movements perfectly. When those two run out of their minds, no one can follow them.

Nao will come back after a while.

"Welcome back, Mr. Nao. Did you find it?"

Nao shakes his head when I ask.

"I didn't find it, but I found it after someone fought."

"After the fight?

Yes. Chiyuki, I need you to come with me. "

I nod.

Let's go, Ser DeKius.

Dekius nodded and followed me and Nao.

Nao comes to less crowded places.

"Up here."

Nao then flies to the roof.

"Can Sir Decius fly?

"No, exactly...."

Then I'll pull it.

I fly to the roof just as I grab Dekius' hand.

Dekius shouted pitifully, but he didn't care.

"Please take a look. There's a hole in the roof."

When I climbed on the roof, I said something about Nao.

Nao is right, there are holes all over the roof.

However, I don't know if it was after the fight.

But the hole seems to have been made recently.

"Nao-san, do you know who fought who?

"I don't know, but neither of them seems normal. Looks like I'm standing around pretty hard."

Consider Nao's words.

"What do you think of Lord Decius? Do you think it's your sister, Shenna, who's fighting?

Dekius looks at my question in trouble.

"I don't know. But if Shenna was fighting. They may have left a clue."

"Is that a clue?

"Yes, he may have dropped something."

Oh, I see.

"So I'm going to use the magic of object search."

I am impressed by De Kius' words.

The magic of object search is the magic of finding a specific object, called a location object.

However, you cannot find it unless you know the object well or clearly visually imagine it.

Decius seems pretty good. I don't think I can do this with the help of an angel alone. Even without protection, it must have been pretty good.

By the way, I can use that magic too, but it doesn't make sense because I don't know what Mr Shenna has.

Then I will use it. There's not much scope for searching... I'll do something about it. "

Dekius closes his eyes and concentrates.

Feel the magic coming from Dekius' body.

After a few minutes, the sweat flows from Dekius' face. Probably stretching the search beyond our control. It seems pretty tight.

Nao and I will watch quietly so as not to disturb Dekius.

And suddenly he opens his eyes.

"Hah... hah... I found it."

Breathing on his shoulders, Dekius kneels down.

"Lord Decius. Are you all right, sir?

"It's okay, wise man. Let's go."

We descend from the roof and proceed with Dekius at the forefront.

Dekius is flustered. It seems to have consumed a lot of magic.

"Here it is."

De Kius shows between the two buildings.

"I think there's Shenna's curved sword in this narrow place."

I look behind a narrow alley. People seem to be able to get through, but I don't want to go in because there is a pile of garbage.

Ugh, it's kind of dirty.

"Probably an illegal dump. I don't really want to go in there."

When I make more than one magical hand, I reach into a narrow alley.

Exploring by hand, I eventually find something that looks like a curved sword.

It's still Shenna's sword.

Dekius looks at the curved sword he took out and says.

"Really... If so, it seems that Shenna was still fighting on the roof. I hope you're okay....."

I say with my eyes down.

"Yes... Probably chased by a Demon King worshipper. I'm sure Shenna will be safe because she's a fast runner. But maybe he's injured. We have to find it quickly."

Dekius says with a sharp face.

Dekius seems to believe in her sister's safety. She's probably a pretty good person, too.

I wish you were safe.

"That's right... yeah?

I tilt my neck at the curved sword.

"What's wrong, Chiyuki?

"Look, Nao-san. Something's written on my sword."

I show Nao the curved sword.

"Really. What does it say?"

"It says Goddess of Moonlight. What does that mean? Sir Decius, do you understand?

Perhaps the letter of this songdagger is a message that Shenna sent to DeKius.

What nobody knows is that they're afraid of being found and erased by their enemies.

It is possible that the sword itself will be discarded, but I may not have wanted anything more.

I give the curved sword to Dekius.

Even if we don't know, Dekius may know.

Dekius sees the words written on his sister's songdagger.

"This is definitely Shenna's handwriting... And the Goddess of Moonlight? No way?"

Dekius frowned when he thought about it.

"Is there anything that comes to mind?

"No, the night before the feast. I met a strange woman walking with Shenna. She was a beautiful woman... Illuminated by the moonlight, she was precisely the goddess of moonlight. The only woman I've ever heard of as a moonlight goddess is that woman."

He looks up at the sky as if Dekius were in love.

Nao looked at the expression and whistled.

When I saw us, I didn't think the stiffs that didn't react would look like this.

It doesn't seem a little interesting, but it's not the case that I'm thinking about it now.

"Sir Decius, did you hear the woman's name?

"No, I left right away... He just said he came to see the Light Warrior."

"Reggie, are you here to see me? Ahahah ~"

I hold my forehead.

I can see Dekius breaking up.

Well then, I don't know where that beautiful woman is.

"Yes, I think she's probably a foreign lady. If that's the case, I asked him his name and where he was staying."

Dekius regrets it.

"I can't help but wonder. There's no doubt that the woman is the goddess of moonlight, so what should we do? I found a new clue, but I also need to find out where Marshas is..."

I propose to both of you.

"If you can't find any more, let's go back."

We nod at the words of De Kius.

The Goddess of Moonlight.

Perhaps this woman holds the key to this case.

I carved the name into my chest and explored the city at night.

◆ Little Villain Marshas

At night, the lights are lit in the tavern.

But I don't smell fish oil or alcohol at all. Instead, the room is filled with peach smoke.

This good smell of smoke is illuminated by light and the room is dyed peachy.

"Hey, Marshas. You don't have to go back?

When I'm drinking alone, one of my friends holds a woman in one hand and tells me.

My people are members of the cult just like me. She is touching a woman's chest with a slutty face.

I used to give back words with a lowly smile, but now I don't feel that way.

"You don't have to go back. I don't want to go back now...."

I murmur.

"Hehe, is that so...? Let's go. I'll go.

I'll escort the lady with my friends who are leaving.

And then I see the woman my friends are holding.

"Spider..."

Mutter.

For a moment, the woman I was with looked like a spider.

It's not just the woman who left. Some of the women in this store sometimes look like monsters.

The women are prostitutes at the same time as the women in this shop.

But I'm not an ordinary whore. She is far more beautiful than any of the women in the alley.

This is the only place I have so many beauties.

The front is a normal tavern, but the reality is that it is an illegal whorehouse and gambling stadium run by the cult Red Spider.

When I came to this store, I could forget all the nasty things.

Women are beautiful and good at drinking and cooking. That's why I came to this store.

But I can't have any fun today.

It's not clear why it looks different, but it's probably because of that dark knight.

When I think of the Dark Knight, my body trembles.

There is still the fear that that discreet man felt when he revealed himself.

I tried to sell the Dark Knight. I had no choice but to be killed.

But instead of killing them, the Dark Knight thanked them. Thank you for saving my life.

And I felt something when I put my hand on my head.

The view that I saw from that time changed a little. Thanks to this, alcohol tastes bad.

No, I wonder if alcohol tasted like this.

I felt sweeter before. However, even though it is supposed to be the same type of alcohol, I have a bad taste today.

Speaking of which, there was someone who said the same thing to me before. He also said that the taste of alcohol was strange.

I stopped looking at the border one day, but what are you doing now?

"Mr. Marshas."

I was shouting and looked at the side. There is a woman standing alone. I recognize a woman's face. The woman on the bishop's side.

"Hehe, what is it?

I laugh so as not to be understood. [M]

"The Protestant Bishop wants to see you. Follow me."

"The Protestant Bishop? Of course I will."

I laugh. The Protestant bishop is a former associate bishop and successor to a woman who was a former bishop. I haven't been asked why that happened. They don't teach me anything at the bottom like me.

I stand up and follow the woman.

The Protestant is trustworthy. I'm sure this anxiety will be relieved if I meet him.

The Protestant bishop was absent from this country for a while. When did you get back?

Eventually, he comes before the door of the Protestant room.

"Protestant bishop. I took him with me."

"Oh, you can come in."

I can hear the Protestant voice from inside.

The voice of a young man.

When a woman prompts her to enter the room, it is filled with peach smoke.

There is a man sitting in the middle of the room. Her skin is white enough to cause blood vessels to appear in her golden hair. Her eyes are cut long and her lips are red.

He is as beautiful a young man as a woman.

What?

When I saw the Protestant, I suddenly cried out. Because I felt different from when I met you before.

I was very happy to meet you the other day. I thought I could die for this man.

Born as a child of a musician, I fell asleep in a beating and was taken care of.

The rest of my life was scattered. I couldn't be a warrior with a weak arm, and I had no choice but to steal from the weaker and live.

It was Ainoe who picked me up when I got stuck.

Then I joined the organization and met the Protestant bishop.

This is the first time I've ever lived to meet someone I can trust.

But I don't feel anything now. No, I feel something rather creepy.

I look at the room. Same as before. As before, many women's heads are decorated in narrow areas and on the cupboards.

I didn't find anything strange when I entered the room only once before.

But now I know. This room is unusual.

"Marshas, was it you? What's the matter, just hang out?

The Protestant chuckles.

"No, thank you for everything. Ehehe"

I enter the room when I laugh. Avoid being noticed that sweat is spreading out on your back.

"Just now, I need to ask you something. You did meet him, didn't you? How'd it go?

The Protestant asked me, but I don't understand the meaning.

Who are you talking about?

When I say it, the Protestant face gets upset.

"I don't know. It's about the Dark Knight."

The Dark Knight makes my body tremble.

Are you the Dark Knight?

"Yes, the Dark Knight. He is as famous among us as the Brave of Light. You've interrupted my father's plan twice, haven't you? I wonder what he looks like."

The Protestant chuckles innocently as a child.

"Whatever he says. Hmm... He's a seemingly discreet man. But all of a sudden..."

I try to explain myself, but I don't see the words well.

"Zeal said the same thing. Are you good at hiding yourself? It might be a little tricky."

The Protestant nods well.

Hmm?

I can feel my gaze.

When you look at the person who feels the gaze, the woman's neck and eyes meet.

I suddenly feel like screaming.

"Yeah? What's wrong, Marshas?

The bishop who noticed me looks at us.

And then you stand up as if you noticed something.

The Protestant bishop who stood up takes the head that was looking at me.

"Hmm? What about the haircut?

"Fufu. You must recognize him. That's the girl you brought in. He's one of my dear fairies now."

The Protestant Bishop smiles happily as he strokes his head with love.

I do recognize him. She ran away yearning for Ainoe. She was beautiful, but she didn't have the talent to join the army.

But still, she ate it without giving up. I think her name was Katia.

I deceived the Protestant by telling him that I would enlist this girl behind his back.

The woman with the only neck is looking at me.

"I'd like to thank you for meeting Xand-sama."

The woman's head smiles gently.

I scream out loud.

Point your body towards the door in an attempt to escape.

But there was a hairpin on the cupboard that was flying, preventing me from getting out of the room.

The women who turned their heads are looking at me.

"Ahh...."

I'll sit down.

"It's terrible, you don't have to run away. I didn't think you were getting your sanity back. Well, what do we do?

I can hear the Protestant voice from behind.

"Dear Xando, May I make this my knight without a neck?

I can hear my daughter.

"Are you sure? He seems very weak."

Yeah, I don't mind.

"Well, then there's no problem. Pleasure, Marshas. You can be her faithful knight from now on. Fuhahaha"

It was the moment I heard that voice. When you feel something hot on your neck, all of a sudden the room begins to roll around.

And the sight I saw when I stopped seeing was my own body that lost its neck.

◆ The God of Sleep and Dream Zando

"Now, carry me. I'm tired of flying."

Katia says that Marcias's body, which has lost its neck, rises.

And I hold her in love with my neck.

I can't put it on the neck because it's only my husband and servant. That's why I hold her as a princess.

Nevertheless, I didn't think I would be able to break the magic.

The people in this shop are supposed to try not to defy me. Why?

Well, it doesn't matter.

I'm not interested in anyone who only has an ugly neck.

"Can Katia make such a weak man a knight without a neck?

"It doesn't matter, onee-sama. If you have a better one, you just have to replace it."

That's true. I don't want to pick either, so I'll knight the men around here. "

They laugh at each other.

The fairies were given the ability to dominate the body of the opponent who took their neck.

However, there is a limit to the number of people that can be manipulated.

As a result, most fairies manipulate the body of a man who was a good knight. The knight whose neck was taken becomes Durahan, their faithful servant.

"Now, Zeal, I think I'll go back to you. It's about time we finished talking."

I am escorted out of my room by my lovely fairies. [M]

Zeal refers to the black saturus that inhabits Nargor. No, I don't think so. Should I call him Damon?

Zeal, the Lesser Damon, was betrayed by Atranakua the Spider-woman. He should be underground in this building now.

I walk down the hall to the entrance leading to the basement. [M]

You can see multiple shadows in the basement when you descend.

The shadows are not human, unlike those on the first floor. Everything belongs to the demon king who lives in Nargor.

"Are we done here, Mr. Wolverd?

I laugh and talk to Damon, who is in the center of the shadows. [M]

Damon's name is Wolverd. It is a pillar of four Damon Roads that serve the Demon King. He came to the land with his men to catch the betrayed man Zeal.

"Oh, Lord Zand. Thank you for telling me where this traitor is."

Zeal knelt on the ground and trembled in front of Wolverd.

"I would like you to forgive him, if possible. Thanks to him, I was able to meet with you."

It was easy to find Ulvard's men who came to get Zeal.

Then, we contacted him and requested a meeting. Of course not to my father.

I am not like my father, Sarxis. [M] My father is hostile to the Demon King and does not try to reconcile. I'm sorry about that.

Nothing comes out of a struggle.

But I should be able to get along with the Devil.

Actually, I want to get along with the Ellios goddesses.

But for some reason, those beautiful goddesses hate me. Why would I want to make you more beautiful?

I want to get the necks of those beautiful goddesses somehow.

"Yes, it's fine, let's forgive it. That's why, Zeal. I'll miss you. There is no particular problem whether you are here or not. So help Lord Zand. Besides, I was originally contacted by Your Excellency and asked to be treated with kindness."

Wolverd speaks cold.

"Thank you, Mr. Wolverd!!

Zeal rubs his head against the ground and thanks him.

"No, thank goodness, Zeal. I still have to get you to work."

I relieve myself. [M]

Zeal is a comrade who loves humans as much as I am. I love you differently, but I'm glad you saved me.

"No, you can use it as much as you like."

"Thank you, Wolverdo. Be sure to defeat the Light Warriors and Elios. I wish my father had left it to me from the beginning."

I was neglected by my father, Zarxis, because I loved humans too much.

Neglected by my father, I was unable to participate in Lavrus' scheme.

I was ordered to leave the land until the plan was finished, because I might do something strange.

I feel sorry for that. [M]

But now, thanks to the failure of a different Ravulus, this land is at my disposal. [M]

Now is the time to prove me useful. [M] That's why I decided to join forces with Wolverd.

"That's reliable. I look forward to it, Lord Zand."

"Fufu, I'll leave it to you. I promise to defeat the Light Warrior and the Dark Knight. And thank you for the information on Wesen Felion."

I laugh.

Light brave and dark knight. I'll hit these two and kill each other. That's my plan.

Then Felion the Wesen was once a god who fought with his father Zarxis against the gods of Ellios.

It seems to have been sealed by the Demon King, but I didn't know where it was sealed.

But I was able to find out with information from Ulbald. I think I'll let my father know right away.

"Yes, please use it effectively. And after that...."

"Of course, I'll keep my mouth shut. Your Majesty will be angry if she finds out what you did. [M] I'll keep it a secret."

It's a secret that Ulbald and I tied hands. [M]

For some reason, the Demon King was reluctant to fight the gods of Ellios.

And he ordered his men to stay out of it.

That's why Ulbald disobeyed the demon king just like Zeal.

Wolverd wants to keep it a secret.

"Thank you, Lord Zand. Okay, I'll take this. I'm waiting for good results."

"Of course. I'll make sure you get your neck."

Urbald and his men will be transferred.

It would be easy to get the neck of the girl he was with without the Light Warrior.

Then revive Felion and slap Ellios.

I will surely get the heads of the heroes of light and the goddesses of Ellios.

And I reflect the magical girl.

There was a silver-haired goddess there.

Beautiful. I fell in love at first sight.

I've been in love with this goddess ever since I found out about her.

I want her neck in my hands no matter what. I'm in this country. This should be a great opportunity.

That's why the disturbing Dark Knight has to disappear.

I also prepare it for that reason.

"Talaboss, I need to contact you. What's the plan for resurrecting Badon?

Badon is one of the beasts of destruction created by the great Mother God Nargor.

I hear it's not as powerful as a Wesen.

Badon's body is underground in the Grand Theater. Originally, after defeating and burying Badon, Alphonse's altar was built and then turned into a theater. At least that's what Talaboss told me.

Everything seems Talaboss was working on Nargor, and he found out about Badon at the time.

Well, that doesn't matter. The question is whether it is available.

And there must be a Zeal witch in that theater. Let her work.

Watch Zeal lying flat after Wolverd is gone.

"Mr. Zeal. You will help me lure the Dark Knight out. Fufufu"

I laughed at what was coming. [M]

◆ Dancer Shenna

A moonlight goddess is dancing in front of her.

It was so beautiful.

The time is night.

The moon's light is pouring in through a large window, making her beautiful silver hair shine faintly.

Fantastic sights strike me.

"What do you think? Shenna, are you dancing like you taught me?

Stop dancing and the silver goddess laughs demonically.

"Very good. Dear Kuna,"

I exhale.

The moonlight goddess simply taught her the dance she had learned from practicing hard and made it her own.

I was very envious and envious.

I wonder if the goddess and I were born with something different.

I notice my dark feelings. Perhaps Ainoe's sister felt the same way?

According to the Dark Knight, Ainoe's sister had risen by signing a contract with the devil.

And I was trying to succeed without a contract with the devil.

What would you say if I were Ainoe's sister? I wonder if you felt as dark as you do now.

Well, that's what I thought.

But what's going on with the troupe?

It seems that the Dark Knight will come to see us tomorrow...

I see the dark knight beside me.

Dark Knights without black armor are no different than ordinary men.

She is looking at the goddess of moonlight with a lewd gaze.

The Moonlight Goddess is dressed as an Ishtia dancer. A costume with a lot of exposure in the thin ground draws on the goddess's monstrous charm.

The Dark Knight watching it is no different than my skeleton uncles watching me dance.

I feel like I can easily defeat it now. Of course not.

According to the story, the Dark Knight beat the Light Warrior. But it doesn't look like that at all. To be clear, it seems weak.

I looked at the drinks in front of me.

I don't have any alcohol.

Regardless of the tea made from flowers such as menthy, I thought it was like a child when I was given a drink made by boiling fruit. Normally adults don't drink such things.

Apparently, the Dark Knight doesn't drink at all.

Pick the confectionery in front of you.

Baked confectionery with dried fruit and tree nuts is simple and delicious. This sweet goes well with Menti's tea.

But it doesn't suit the Dark Knight. Something's wrong with a dark knight who likes sweets.

The demon statue in me is distorting. My head is starting to hurt somehow.

I look at the Dark Knight with such thoughts in mind.

What?

There was an unexpected voice.

The face of the Dark Knight is not the lewd face of the past, but the face of a warrior.

I am surprised by the sudden change.

The Dark Knight suddenly stood up.

What's the matter with you?

"What's wrong, Croki? Did you see anything?

Suddenly the moonlight goddess sounds anxious when she sees the dark knight with a changed atmosphere.

"Marshas....."

Dark Knight's sharp eyes are pointing out of the walls.

I felt unexplained anxiety.
