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

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

We are gathered in the conference room of the General's Office.

The reason is to report it to the general's class.

In addition to the class, Senators Nakius and Tulia also came.

Because it's important, I want both of you to know.

"I didn't know monsters were lurking in the shadow of citizens....."

Class holds his head and says.

It's not impossible. A general who protects the citizens of this country from monsters would not want to think that monsters are turning into humans.

Because a general who has to protect his citizens must doubt them.

We searched for Gould who survived the words of the Moonlight Goddess that we met at Cornez's Mansion.

It turned out that all the officials connected to Cornez had been replaced by Goules.

"Yes, General Class. All of Senator Cornez's associates were googled. I think I knocked them all down... There may still be survivors."

Class has a sad expression in De Kius' words.

"But I can't make this public, Dekius. If citizens find out about this, it's going to be a big deal."

Tell Nakius, the father of Dekius, to teach.

Monsters are lurking in humans. If it is announced, citizens will panic.

That's why we have to keep this a secret. That's what everyone here thinks.

"I know, Father. This is a secret only for those who are here. That's why I want my fathers to make sure citizens don't know about this."

Dekius says to his father, Nakius, to his class, and to Tulia.

It should be the followers of the god king Audis who tell the truth without telling a lie. But there are exceptions to everything.

The three powers of Ariadia's heaviest town will be able to do some cover-up.

That's why I told these three the truth.

"Lord De Kius. Isn't that the only problem? Doesn't the groundwaterway seem to be in trouble? We have to do something as soon as possible."

Her usual smiling Tulia expression is sharp.

The Republic of Ariadia is a country at the mouth of the Great River, the River Xu.

Cities in these estuaries can be flooded by heavy rainfall.

As a result, water pollution measures are necessary.

There are many drainage channels underground in the Republic of Ariadia.

This groundwater channel was built by the dwarf and seems to be quite good compared to the waterways in our world.

And now there's a problem in this waterway.

We caught Gould and made him spit out what he knew.

And from that information, we found that the country's groundwaterways were becoming monster caves.

Why no one noticed such an important thing, because all the officials who managed the underground waterway were replaced by gouls.

Thanks to this, the underground waterway in the Republic of Ariadia has been transformed into a paradise for monsters.

We can't leave the monster at our feet, so we need to get rid of it as soon as possible.

"I know, Lord Tulia. But when I send the knights to the underground waterways...

The class seems difficult to say.

Knights are the greatest force in the nation. That's why we can't leave this country in crisis.

However, the Knights of the Republic of Ariadia are devastated by the defeat of Centaurs.

And it hasn't been rebuilt yet.

Horseback riding is a special skill that requires training, and adding horse combat skills is difficult to train.

As a class, you don't want to send a surviving knight into the groundwater.

"General Class. It is a knight's duty to fight on horses. You should stop putting knights in the groundwater."

The knight's main job is to guard the street.

If anyone is attacked by a monster on the street, I will rush to protect them.

That's why it's a waste to put horses in underground waterways.

"Lord Chiyuki...."

Class looks at me thankfully.

"So we should hire freedom fighters. Choose a warrior you can trust. Please arrange that."

I say as I look at the people here.

Knights are around the streets and outside the castle walls. Soldiers are inside the walls and walls. And the Freedom Warrior protects the rest.

The underground waterway is inside the walls of the castle. That's why we should have moved the soldiers.

However, the Republic of Ariadia is less threatened by monsters, so soldiers have less experience fighting monsters.

This will only increase the number of casualties against the monsters in the underground waterway.

So we should use Freedom Warriors here.

The class is deeply connected to the Freedom Warriors Association. As soon as he asks, there will be good freedom fighters.

"Are you a freedom fighter? But if you hire a lot, you'll need a lot of money. I can't move the public money right away, but is the money okay to hire?

Nakius says worried.

"In financial terms, with Lord Tulia....."

That's how I see the other person beside Tulia.

"That's why you called me, right?

Kyoka looks at me and says. There are naturally kaya behind us.

Kyoka is rich because she does business. I should be able to get enough money for a good Freedom Warrior.

"Yes, that's right, Kyoka-san. I will pay you back for the replacement at a later date. That's why I'd like to ask for funding now."

But Kyoka shakes her head.

"I don't need anything else. Funding will be provided just for you. You can also pay for groundwater repairs."

"Lady!!

Kaya panicked.

It's not impossible. Doing business in this world is quite difficult.

Anyway, the literacy rate is 50% or less. And even fewer people can calculate it.

In other words, it is difficult to gather people to do business.

It is the money that I have struggled to collect due to the lack of human resources.

That's why I'm just showing difficulty in providing funding.

Moreover, the social status of merchants in this world is low.

There is a saying in the adage of this world that "even if you can defend yourself with a sword, you cannot defend yourself with gold."

This shows the reality of this world with many monsters, as well as the social status of warriors and merchants.

In other words, merchants tend to be seen lightly. It also makes it difficult to do business.

Also, there are many monsters in this world, or the circulation of money has not progressed. For that reason, we value human connections more than money.

That's why it seems like it's hard to pull out the best people.

As a result, Kaya takes money and time, but seems to be developing talent from scratch.

Moreover, although there is a concept of accounting books in this world, I do not know that financial statements such as balance sheets are prepared.

It also seems like I need more time and money to teach.

"Kaya, money is what we use for these times. This is like an upfront investment in the Republic of Ariadia. I don't think it's gonna hurt."

Kyoka laughs. Kyoka sometimes does very generous things.

As a matter of fact, Kyoka seems to be more popular than Kaya, who is highly capable.

Sometimes it surprises me to hang out for a long time.

"Okay, miss. Let's get the money ready right away."

Thank you, Kaya.

Kaya broke in the end.

"Lord Chiyuki, I will also provide you with funds."

Tulia also accepts.

Now we have a way to arrange a Freedom Warrior.

"By the way, what will happen to the brave ones?

Nakius looks at Reggie.

"Of course, we'll go underground too. Isn't that right, Reggie?

"Oh, of course. The beauty is calling."

Reiji laughs.

When I found out that a beautiful woman was waiting for me, I changed my attitude.

The beauty may be the one who was manipulating Gould.

I hold my head.

"May I join you, Lord Chiyuki?"

Dekius offers to accompany you.

"And Sir De Kius? I would like Lord De Kius to stay on the ground, if possible."

DeKius is a tough man. Instead of going out on the front, you should stay behind. Besides, I want you to stay on the ground and guide the citizens to evacuate in case of emergency.

"No, I care about her too."

I also have a headache. Dekius, are you the same as Reggie?

"Ah, I see. But don't push it.

You'll need to stick a nail somehow so you don't have to force it.

He must be the future leader of Ariadia.

"By the way, Mr. Chiyuki. Underground waterways, perhaps?

Suddenly Nao asked anxiously.

"Well, it seems that there are times when domestic drainage runs out. What's wrong with that?

When I say so, Reno, Sahoko and Nao look disgusting.

"Ah, I don't know what to do. I can't believe I'm going where it's flowing."

"I'm a little bit of a..."

I don't like Lino and Sahoko.

I see, that's what I'm saying. I'll score.

And then Lino, don't let the girl say anything.

"It's okay. Into the groundwaterway ○...... There's no human waste."

Because of Lino, I'm about to say something.

I'll explain.

There are toilets in this world as well.

It seems that there are places in some countries that are not. I honestly don't want to go near a country like this because it seems to dump poison after it has been accumulated.

And the toilet in this world, there is also a washing system near the river, but in one way or another, pot-shaped pumping is common.

Add a seat on a brick or stone shaped like a cobblestone. And beneath it is a pot that stores the pot.

And then gathered ○ This process is performed by the priest who serves the earth and the rich goddess Gena.

In other words, we use U○ Ko as fertilizer.

In this world, "○" means abundance at the same time as being filthy.

It may also be the original world that such a symbol of richness becomes.

It is common for the toilets of this world to bear the sacred seal of the goddess Gena. In other words, she is a toilet goddess.

And in the Republic of Ariadia, this country is a big city with a population of nearly 1 million. Naturally ○ This amount is also a big deal.

For this reason, public toilets are installed in various regions of the country.

Of course, there is a private toilet in a leading citizen's home.

This public toilet is cleaned and managed by local civil society.

And pot-shaped toilets are common in this country. And the Ariadian government is paying a lot for this.

The collectors, who believe in the goddess of Gena, who pulled the truck to the donkey at night when people slept, said they exchanged pots for pots.

Afterwards, the collected ○ kos will be discarded after being brought to the priest of the Goddess of Gena, who has magic to transform them into ordinary soil.

It seems that Ha ○ ko was flowing directly into the river before. However, it seems that a claim has been made from the temple of Triden, the god of the sea, and it is now in its present form.

And it is a felony to do a toilet outside of the toilet.

However, it seems that some people still do not protect it. If anyone lives nearby, they will be half killed.

In addition, it seems that the Republic of Ariadia, like other powers, cannot be managed outside the walls, so it seems that things are going to be tough outside the walls.

If this is left unattended, plagues such as pests will occur, so measures must be taken.

But it doesn't seem to be working as well as any other country.

However, it is certain that people are not flowing in the groundwaterways. The three people look relieved when I explain.

However, people's cigarettes are not flowing, and trash and monsters' cigarettes may be flowing.

So it's not a sanitary place. But I won't tell the three of you.

"By the way, Chiyuki. There's something I'm curious about....."

Silone opened her mouth, which had been silent until now.

But I know what Shirone cares about.

You mean the Moonlight Goddess.

When I say so, Shirone nods.

"But she didn't get a name, and no one knew when I asked other Gouls or Einoye. I can't be sure it's the same woman."

Einoye is already in custody and has obtained information.

She was a witch who had a contract with the devil. It seems that Lester Damon, who made her a witch, is doing something on Badon's altar.

I plan to take her to the underground waterway as well. Hopefully we can lure out Lesser Damon.

But Ainoe didn't know anything about the Moonlight Goddess.

I definitely heard this using Lino's magic.

"Well, that's fine, if you go. Maybe there's Croki."

Shirone laughs with a spectacular smile.

After leaving the Labyrinth, he said he still couldn't forgive Shirone for leaving without saying anything. I feel a little sympathetic to childhood habits.

"Looks like it's the same situation as a play that's going to get the prince back from some bad witch. Hey, Syrone, why don't you play the leading role in the play?

Tell Lino to tear it up.

"Lino already. I don't want to take the lead anymore. And you don't need me!!

When Shirone said that, Reggie and Nao sounded sad.

The play was postponed until the case was solved.

And I don't have Ainoe. We'll have to find a substitute.

In addition, I found out that starring Shenna was alive, so I didn't have to substitute for her.

That's why Shirone is happy.

Honestly, I'm sorry. It seemed so interesting.

"Already! I knew everyone was funny!!

Shirone screams angrily.

Shit, did they find out? In fact, I was just having a really good time.

"But what is the Moonlight Goddess up to?

Dekius says worried.

"She told me to come to Badon's altar. They must be waiting for us there. What are you really up to?

The altar of Badon was the place where Badon was sealed, and a theater was built on top of it.

The altar seems to be underground and connected to the underground waterway.

It would have been quick to get out of the theater, but the structure does not allow you to go directly downstairs. And there is a powerful bond.

If you force yourself down, the theater may collapse.

So we have to walk a little further down the entrance to the underground waterway.

The underground waterways seem to be full of monsters, but let the Freedom Warriors take care of us as the Goddess of Moonlight. That's how it should be this time.

Let's get into the underground waterway tomorrow.

"I'm curious about the woman who says the goddess of moonlight. Who are you?

Tulia thinks about it.

"I'm sorry, Tulia. We don't know who she is either. So I can't tell you the details. But if you do, evacuate the citizens."

I haven't told the three of them in detail about the Moonlight Goddess. Because I don't know her either. I was wondering if I should pass on the uncertain information, and I stopped talking after all.

I didn't tell Nakius that Shenna was safe.

I don't think I'm willing to kill the Moonlight Goddess. I decided that I shouldn't let you expect bad things.

I don't want to say that it was no good after I told her I was safe.

"Well, if you go, you'll know who it is."

Raige smiles invincibly.

Reggie's right. I don't know unless I go and see it.

Everyone nodded at the rage's words.

◆ War Maiden Shizufe

Early morning. We are coming to the training grounds in the Republic of Ariadia at the request of the Freedom Warriors Association.

The training ground is a training ground for soldiers near the Third Castle Wall.

Very wide. You'll be able to gather a lot of soldiers.

Many Freedom Fighters are gathered in that training ground.

"Wow, there's plenty of them, Shiz. Isn't it ever since we entered the Labyrinth that so many warriors gathered?

Maddy looks around and says.

"Sure, a lot of them. Two hundred freedom fighters. Besides, it's all famous."

Kaina's sister's right.

About 200 freedom fighters seem to be famous warriors in Tessecia. If you look closely, there are Godan, the valiant of the earth, and Zephyr, the valiant of the wind.

"Spectacular. I can't believe we have all these warriors."

"Absolutely. I don't know what the hell is going on."

Leelia and Nora look at the warriors again and say,

"Come on, what the hell is going on, Shizufe? Gather so many warriors."

Novis complains about coming with us.

"I don't know. I think you're going to explain that to me."

Actually, I didn't ask about the details either. It seems like it's just killing monsters.

"Hello, Shizufe-san. You're here, too."

A man with a trident is approaching.

"You are Nephim the Water Brave."

"Yes, I'm Nephim the Water Brave. Shizufe-san, you've become a war maid. It looks good on you."

Nephim looks at the helmet of a war maid with wings on my left and right.

"Yes, thank you."

Thank you for your praise. It's an honor to have benefited from Lady Lana. I'm very happy about that.

By the way, what do you want, Nephim?

Novis comes before me. Why are you following me? I don't know why.

"It's just a greeting, Novis the Fire Brave. We're going to go into the groundwater together."

"Groundwaterways?

"Yes, that's right, Mr. Shizufe. Anything seems to have created a monster in the groundwater. We were driven out of there."

I am surprised at the words. I can't believe there's a monster lurking in Ariadia's basement. Isn't it a big problem?

"Hey, is that true? If it's true, it's a big problem! Who was in charge?! You neglected your duty!!

Kaina is right. The person in charge won't be able to resign.

"Yeah, that's why they called us. And the people who were managing the underground waterways seem to be missing. Probably got away. And the Senator, Cornez, who was behind them, could not be seen."

"That kind of thing....."

I get angry at it.

I can't believe they missed work and ran away. And I feel anger at a senator named Cornez, who hid himself while he was in the Senate.

"Then it's a secret that there are monsters in the underground waterway. The citizens are worried."

Nephim pointed his finger at his mouth and said.

It will certainly be difficult for citizens to say. But it must be hard to keep everything a secret.

Some citizens will complain.

"Well, it looks like the General has arrived, gentlemen."

Looking ahead, Nephim saw General Class, the brave Reiji, and the wise Chiyuki, the knight of the law, Dekius. They'll go underground, too.

And when General Class stood on the stage, he started explaining.

◆ Dark Knight Croki

I see, Raige and the others are not in the groundwater.

Talk to Tulia when she comes to the Mansion.

"Yes, God of the Storm. The brave men seem to be entering the underground waterway."

Tulia lowers her head.

"But don't worry. A woman named Goddess of Moonlight. It's like Kuna."

I was surprised to hear about the moonlight goddess who appeared in Tulia's story.

"Yes, that's what I thought, so I came to ask you."

Tulia says sorry.

It seems that Senator Cornez, who lived anywhere near here, was a ghoul.

And in the basement of Cornez Mansion, Reggie and the others met a woman named Goddess of Moonlight.

The proximity to this mansion makes it easy for Kuna to go. That's why it's possible that Kuna went to see Reggie.

I know Kuna was taking a walk around here. But I didn't hear you met Reggie and the others.

If so, it's too dangerous.

But I don't think so because I have a reason.

"No, but that's impossible. You said the moonlight goddess was waiting behind the underground canal, right?

"Yes, that's what the Brave One said. Unfortunately, I was unable to hear more about it...."

"Well, I guess not. Kuna and herself are going to fly around the Minnon Plains looking for Lord Wolverd. I can't wait in the groundwater."

Yesterday I promised to look for Runfeld and Wolverd.

That's why the vacation ended yesterday.

Starting today, myself and Kuna will go looking for Wolverdo.

Therefore, a moonlight goddess is unlikely to be in Kuna. Kuna has no plans to go underground.

So it's not. It's a different point, so I think it's someone else.

The couna is in a separate room with Shenna. After all, Shenna taught me a lot.

Don't take Shenna to look for Wolverd. That's why she's supposed to stay here.

We don't need to restrain ourselves because we're gone. You're free to leave.

And Lord Wolverd... I have no idea where he went.

Probably hiding out in fear of Zeal escaping.

So let them find us instead. If we're flying Glorious on the Minon Plains, we may be coming into contact from over there soon.

I see.

"Of course. Neither myself nor Kuna were in this world three years ago. And it was three years ago that the Gouls came to this country. That's why they're irrelevant. And the heroes are strong. I don't think they'll have a problem with that."

Tulia looks relieved when she says so.

"I see. God of Storm is not willing to destroy this country, is he? I'm relieved."

From the words, I realize that there is a fear of myself in Tulia.

Speaking of which, I recall that many countries have been destroyed by monsters, but many countries have been destroyed by buying God's discomfort.

From the sight of the gods of Ellios, man is a family, but he who disobeys shall not be forgiven.

How many people have been punished in this world?

"At least I'm not going to do this country."

"Yes, I believe in God."

Tulia lowers her head deeply. She must be very scared to have a strong self.

I see the situation in a complicated way.

Well, okay. Now let's focus on finding Wolverd.

Where is he now?

◆ Damon King Wolverd

Underground in a human country called Ariadia.

There is an altar where the devil Badon is sealed. I will bring my men to this place.

"Welcome. Great Damon King (Lord) Ulbald. My name is Taraboshi. I am entrusted to this land by the Great Sleeping God."

A man lowers his head.

Zando, the god of sleep, is a little god. I suppose that's why I am a human being. [M]

Honestly, I don't feel like answering human questions, but I have no choice.

You said Talaboss. I don't see Lord Zand, but where did he go?

I look around, but I can't see.

Zand called me here in the first place. Everything seems to be interesting here.

"I'm sorry. I've only been told to obey you when you arrive."

Talaboss says he's sorry.

Well, that's good. I'll make you wait. "

I don't know what Zand's going to do, but I guess we'll have to wait.

It was when I tried to sit in the reserved seat. I see him in the shadows. It's Zeal.

"Hey, isn't that Zeal over there?"

One of my men pointed to Zeal. This subordinate is the same black goat race as Zeal.

I brought a few others.

"Hey, guys, it's been a while."

Zeal is surrounded by his former allies.

"Hmm! Zeal! Come to this place just in front of you. You're doing a good job! What do you mean you betrayed us!!

"That's right. We're just like human girls. Only before that.... I envy you...."

Stuck together, Zeal is in trouble.

"Well, we all have Empusha's sister."

"You idiot! You'll get eaten!!!

When one says so, several others say, "Yes, yes."

Empusa is a species of women who have the habit of eating men. I am afraid of men of various races because I can manipulate magic.

"If you're a Damon princess or a Dark Elf girl...."

"You're not going to take me with you!!!!

The black goats are arguing.

I wonder what you're talking about. I have a headache.

"Well then, I'll introduce you to a human girl. Will you forgive me?

"Really? Really? I like girls with big tits."

Well, I guess I'm good, too, Zeal.

"Me and me."

When Zeal introduces a human girl, the black goats arrive.

What are these idiots doing?

"You guys! What are you doing!!

Then Zeal and the others grow up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wolverd!!

The black goats lowered their heads.

What the hell are you doing?

"Nevertheless, where did he go, Master Wolverd? Honestly, I can't trust that god."

She said with a steep face.

I can certainly understand that feeling. That sleeping god plays a little too much.

"That's true. Where did you really go?

I felt a little anxious.

◆ Silver Witch Coona

"My brother went to the underground waterway... Um, the goddess. Is my brother okay?

Shenna listens anxiously when she hears about Kuna.

"I don't know. At least it's dangerous."

When Kuna says so, Shenna lowers her head.

"Please, goddess! Please help my brother!!

Shenna's desperate wish. Kuna looks at it with cold eyes.

I don't care about him or his brother. All that matters is Croki.

But Shenna taught me Ishtia's tricks and tricks.

It is a technique that delights the man you love in the bedroom.

I will give you a little help to thank you for telling me something meaningful.

"Kuna will fly with Croki from now on. So I can't go to help you. That's why I'm giving you power. So go and help my brother."

Kuna put her hand to Shenna and sent magic. This should make Shenna stronger.

"Thank you!!

"Thank you very much. Then tell him to whistle when he meets your brother. Then the rats will be gone."

"A flute?

"That's right. And I'll lend you a butterfly. The butterfly will lead you to your brother Dekinai."

That's how I summoned the butterfly to Shenna.

"Thank you, goddess. And then Dekius."

It doesn't matter if Shenna corrects it.

"Oh, I see. Then you should be careful."

"Yes"

That's how Shenna leaves the room.

There you go, Master Kuna.

A sudden appearance of the head in the air.

Zand. This stupid man is now a complete servant of Kuna. It seems that the original will be of a little help to God alone.

And I told him not to show his face as much as possible except in front of Kuna. Apparently, he kept his word.

"Zand. What's happening to your neck and tail?

"I've led a foolish Wolverd to the altar of Badon, Master Kuna. And we closed the line and locked it up. This shouldn't be easy to get out of. Kihahahahaha"

Xando laughed with only his neck. Honestly, shut up.

That's why I kick it as hard as I can.

Zand jumps through the room like a bow.

"Shut up, Zand. I'll kick your ass."

"Ugh, that's terrible, Kuna. Please don't tell me after kicking."

Zand cries, but I don't know.

"It's not your fault to be noisy."

"I'm sorry, Kuna. By the way, isn't Kuna going to the groundwater?

"I'm not going anywhere. Where it looks like it stinks. I didn't say anything about Kuna waiting."

I remember when I met the brave.

I told you to come to Badon's altar, but Kuna didn't tell me to wait.

Touch your neck.

It may have been a failure to contact the brave men.

If the hero hadn't stopped the sword, he would have been slaughtered.

I didn't expect a counterattack at the same time as preventing Kuna's attack.

Thinking about it, my spine gets cold.

But you were right to stop the sword.

The brave man saved his life for that.

But I can't tell Kuroki about this. Speaking of which, I worry.

You must never make Kuroki sad.

I will refrain from acting alone from now on.

I also got a token called Zand. I'll use this next time.

"It certainly looks like it stinks. Is that why you're in Wolverdo instead, Master Kuna?

Zand stops by laughing. It's just his neck. He's broken.

"That's right. I thought it was stupid because I had to reward Wolverdo."

Croki doesn't know where Wolverdo is. Croki may forgive Wolverd for trying to trap him because he's gentle.

But Kuna is different. You must punish him.

Kuna laughs a little.

Stupid Wolverd. The brave men are coming to you now.

You're ready to wait.
