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

◆ Shizufe

The Order of Ishtia is a large organization after the Freedom Warriors Association, the largest force in the free city of Tessecia.

The shrine is so splendid that even the Republic of Ariadia can't afford to see this much.

The members of the congregation are predominantly women without citizenship.

They may be refugees from other parts of the country, or most of their daughters.

The church devoted to Ishtia, the goddess of love and beauty, expresses the protection of women and children, so it protects them as refugees and introduces them to work.

However, many of the jobs referred are prostitutes.

This is incompatible with the doctrine of Feria, the goddess of marriage who does not recognize prostitutes.

Feria's church has also expressed protection for women, but it seems that solving the problems faced by women citizens is enough, and it seems that it cannot protect even women who are very non-citizens.

That is why many women who are not citizens become believers of Ishtia in order to protect themselves.

Also, in Ishtia's doctrine, whores who give love to many men are sacred and worshipped.

And whoever treats whores roughly will be regarded as enemies of the Order.

If you do something terrible to a woman, you can curse her or assassinate her, it's a rumor.

Thesecian men therefore treat whores with love and awe.

I don't know, some women are going to be prostitutes.

I don't understand, even though I am a believer in Feria.

And now I'm meeting a woman in a room of Lord Ishtia's temple. The reason is because it's a job request.

I am a believer of the Feria, but the church takes care of me a lot.

That is why the believers occasionally make requests.

"Please, War Maiden Shizufe. My son... Please help Finaeus."

The woman facing me, Mr Salmura, bows her head to me.

Mr. Salmura is a prostitute belonging to the Ishtia Church.

And Finaeus is Salmura's son. I have heard that there is no such thing now and my husband has forgotten it. In other words, Mr. Salmura has been married in the past.

Ishtia's doctrine has no marriage. Therefore, Mr. Salmura was not a believer of Ishtia in the past.

I don't know why I became a believer in Ishtia. But it would be wild to hear that. There must be a deep reason.

Finaeus is 12 years old. A child raised in a temple must emerge from the temple and become independent when he or she is old.

It seems that Finaeus joined a warrior regiment to become a freedom fighter.

Well, that's a reasonable decision. A decent job for a non-citizen boy is nothing but a freedom fighter.

The risk to life is the highest. There may be other safe jobs, but you need to be as talented as Connect to get them.

So many of the boys raised in the temple become freedom fighters.

Finaeus appears to have become a warrior apprentice, helping to exterminate monsters everywhere.

And when the warriors with Finaeus came to the foothills of the Central Mountains on business.

It seems that Harpy attacked and took away a small Pheneas.

The warriors we were with suddenly arrived from the sky, so they couldn't help us.

Harpy is a species of women whose hands and legs are on the human body and eagle wings and eagle legs. They grab human men for reproduction.

Men who have been grabbed are often alive for a while because they don't grab them to eat.

Some men have been rescued in the past. That's why Finaeus is more likely to be alive.

However, it is rare to be rescued in practice.

Harpy is a dangerous monster. He won't let anyone else die to help one.

So unless you're such an important person, you don't go out of your way to help.

And Finaeus is a freedom fighter, albeit an apprentice. It's only natural that monsters kill people.

Finaeus must be prepared for that.

It seems that the warriors to which Finaeus belonged also decided so, and they were not searched very much.

This is what freedom fighters normally think. It is a conscientious act to simply tell Finaeus' mother of death.

However, some people are not convinced of the idea.

My real mother, Salmura.

Sarmura asked the Warriors to rescue Finaeus, who might still be alive.

However, the warriors refused to take the trouble and dangerous exploration.

The halfway there, Mr Salmura, heard rumors of me entering and leaving the temple.

And if I had the title of War Maiden, I would have saved Finaeus, and Salmura was desperately asking for rescue.

But as far as I'm concerned, this is a very difficult request.

First, we need to find Finaeus from where he was taken.

And because it's harpy, he'll be taken away. It seems difficult to get there.

That's why the Warriors refused to rescue him.

Also, if you are lucky enough to find it, you are likely to fight Harpy.

There is another problem.

"Um, just in case... How much do you think you'll get?

I hear about the reward in question.

To live, too. You must ask for your reward.

And even considering the difficulty of the request, it would not be appropriate if you did not receive a reasonable reward. We also need to spend money to get to the Central Mountains.

But Mr. Salmura doesn't seem to have much money.

Sure enough, Mr Salmura looks sad.

"I'm sorry, but I only have a little bit of Vita's copper and silver. Can't we do that?

You're about to catch your breath when you hear that.

I would like to receive my reward in TucAM currency if possible.

Tucam currency is a currency issued by the government of the Republic of Ariadia. The weight of gold, silver and copper is uniform, counting only the number of sheets is good, and there is no need to weigh.

The Republic of Ariadia may also be obliged to pay taxes in Tucum currency. Violations can lead to tax evasion.

Vita is a generic term for a currency that is worse than the Tucum currency.

It may be smaller than the gold, silver, or bronze of a Tucum coin, or it may be mixed with other metals of lower value.

If you take the Vita with you, it will assess its gold, silver and copper content and convert it into the corresponding Tucquoise.

Vita is therefore circulating as money in countries and cities outside the Republic of Ariadia, and in the free city of Tessecia.

However, Vitas vary in size, gold, silver, and copper, so you must make a donation when you receive them. This can be quite a difficult task.

Besides, exchanging money is a hassle. Depending on the assessment, it may also be impossible to exchange.

That's why Vita doesn't want to take paid work as much as possible.

But Mr. Salmura says that's all he has.

The Church may be able to give you money if you're dealing with a whole church problem, but I'm sure you won't be able to do that in this case.

"Please, War Maiden! Please help Finaeus!!

Salmura bows her head to me again.

I looked up to heaven.

◆ Continue Shizufe

There are few people in the large cafeteria near the Freedom Warriors Association headquarters because they are off from meals.

Thanks to this, we can easily take a seat.

This cafeteria was built by the Freedom Warriors Association for low-income freedom fighters.

Anyone can use it if they become a member of the Freedom Warriors Association.

You can eat cheaper in this cafeteria than in any other restaurant.

However, most of the ingredients should have been disposed of in the Republic of Ariadia.

The price is cheap, but I only eat when my stomach is full.

Keena's sister is eating porridge right in front of her. She just boiled all the ingredients in a pot.

But I think it's still a good thing to have it in your daily diet.

In addition, the Freedom Warriors Association provides cheap housing for its members.

That's why many freedom fighters become members of the Freedom Warriors Association.

However, the magician Maddie says this is the policy of the Republic of Ariadia to prevent freedom fighters from committing crimes.

They can also manage Freedom Warriors by registering them with the Association.

I think it's a good way to do things.

If you commit a crime, you will be expelled from the Freedom Warriors Association. That way you won't get cheap meals and lodging.

So, did you take it after all, Shizufe?

Kaina's sister, sitting opposite me at the edge of the cafeteria, looks amazed at me.

"Yeah... Sorry, Kaina sister."

I apologize to Kaina's sister.

"If you're a war maid, you'll have a request to make it easier and more money. Like the other day... Why do you have another request that doesn't suit you, Shizufe?

Kaina's sister's right.

It was ten days ago. We had a request from the Freedom Warriors Association.

Everything seems to have been named by my client, the War Maiden.

The contents of the request are mere escorts. It is a simple task to accompany to protect the noble lady who marries another country.

Nothing happened on the road and I was able to deliver it safely. It's a job that anyone can do for sure. However, for the opponent's aristocrats, the bride's wedding while being protected by the war maiden seems to be a good luck. She was impressed to receive the reward when it was delivered safely, and also called me to the wedding.

At that time, I, the maiden of war, was asked to congratulate him.

I had no choice but to congratulate you and increase your reward even more.

Kaina's sister was happy to receive a lot of rewards, but I was rather sorry.

And there are other simple and highly rewarding requests coming to us.

It seems that the title of the War Maiden is quite a thing. I am surprised that my income has doubled compared to before.

In addition, I was granted citizenship of the Republic of Ariadia by becoming a war maiden.

Now, if you show your citizenship card, you will be guaranteed entry to any country that is a member of the Ariad Alliance.

I will not be charged an immigration fee as before. Now it's easier to do activities. I may earn more money in the future.

But is that okay?

"I do have a much easier request. I don't think Lady Lana gave me the protection to do an easy job."

I say what I think.

Lady Lana didn't give me any protection to get the money.

Lena must have helped people by helping me.

It must be wrong to use it for money.

"And...."

I keep saying more words.

Besides?

"I want to do everything I can for you, Sarmura. If I were her, I wouldn't give up on someone I care about because I'm a freedom fighter...."

That said, Kaina's sister exhales.

I think about my dead father. My father became a freedom fighter and a monster never returned.

I was very sad when my father died.

If your father had been taken alive by a monster, he would have wanted to help anyway.

That's why I know how you feel about Sarmura.

I wonder. Shizufe can't go like that. "

Kaina's sister shook her head.

Thank you, Kaina sister.

"But I'm not sure I can help you. Did you tell him that?

"Yes, of course I told Mr. Salmura that. I'll do whatever I can, but I'm not sure I can help you."

It's only natural. I don't want to think about it, but it could be dead. It is also possible that it will not be found.

"Well, then, do you have anything to look for, Shizufe?

"Yeah, I do. I think we should talk to the flyers about the flyers."

When I say so, Kaina's sister looks strange.

That will be the case. Kaina doesn't know her sister. She and her sister don't know each other.

If she doesn't understand, let's give up.

"So I think that's all right."

"Okay, well, if Shizufe says so, it'll be fine. We need to contact Maddie, Leelia, Nora. Maddy may disagree, but Leelia and Nora will come."

Keena nods at her sister's words.

Reasonable Maddie hates requests that don't suit her. But you'll still tell me something.

Leelia and Nora will come. These two are not committed to rewards.

Rather, Mr Leelia is happy to save lives.

I know where the three of them are. Maddie is an association of sorcerers in the Republic of Ariadia. Reilia is Reina's temple. Nora should be at the inn. I'll have to contact you.

"Yeah, we need to talk to everyone else. But before that, I'll have something to eat, Kaina."

That's how I stand.

Unlike the shop where Justy is, there is no service in this restaurant.

I have to order food and go get it. Then, when I receive the food, I eat in my spare seat.

That's why I go to the cook to order.

"Hey, sis. Are you going to eat now? Then why don't you join us?

Suddenly I can hear you from behind.

Turning around, there are five men standing there with bad heads.

I whisper "ahh" in my heart.

I haven't seen this development in a long time. When I first became a Freedom Warrior, I was involved in this sort of thing several times.

These kinds of dealings are persistent, and sometimes they are held at the root if they are poorly handled.

It was hard for someone to persevere before.

The only way to deal with a guy like this is to make sure he doesn't run into him.

Recently, I forgot because I only went to the shop run by the temple of Ishtia, where Justy is.

The price is high, but I should have gone there. There shouldn't be such a dick over there.

The men are standing around me.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept your offer because I'm with you."

I refuse softly.

"You mean the woman over there. Then why don't you go with that woman?

Approaching with a smile.

Apparently, Keena and I have been watching each other since we were talking.

"I'm sorry, but I won't. Let's go."

When I try to get out of the way, I get stuck. Persistent.

I'm bored.

I wonder what to do.

With Reina's protection, I don't feel like losing to these guys.

However, fighting here could result in a ban on entering and leaving the cafeteria.

Why do I have to see that for these people?

"What are you doing there?!!

Someone sees us and calls out.

I feel relieved to see the person who called.

"Ah? What are you?

One of the men threatens the person who called with a low voice.

"Wait! He's a knight of the law! This is not a good place to start!!

The fellow man stops when he sees the voice.

The stare continued for a while.

Five pricks moved first.

They leave us alone.

"Thank you, Dear Dekius. Thank you."

I would like to thank Mr De Kius for stopping my dick.

De Kius is a knight of the law who serves Audis, the god of law and order.

He is a polite and beautiful man.

Investigate crimes, etc. to comply with the law.

I've known her since I helped her with the investigation before.

"It's okay, Shizufe-san. I wonder if I can handle that kind of relationship at all...."

Shenna, Dekius-sama's sister, came out from behind Dekius-sama.

Shenna is the dancing princess who belongs to the theater robot's ear. Very popular in the Republic of Ariadia.

I met Shenna two months ago in the Black Storm.

It seems that she was captured by that dark knight for everything.

She doesn't want to talk much about that time.

I'm sure they've met with terrible eyes. Once again, I feel angry with the Dark Knight.

That's why I don't ask that either.

But I hear the Witch Hunter tried to interrogate her about it.

It seems that it would have been dangerous if Chiyuki, the wise man with black hair, hadn't stopped. I'm really glad nothing happened.

"It's okay, Mr. Shenna. I didn't have to take care of it. By the way, why are you here, Mr. DeKius?

I wonder why Dekius and the others are here. Is this some kind of investigation?

Since the free city of Tessecia is subordinate to the Republic of Ariadia, the Knight of the Law, an agent of the Republic of Ariadia, is also competent to investigate.

However, substantial policing and investigations are carried out by the Freedom Warriors Association.

It is common for freedom fighters commissioned by associations to investigate crimes committed in this city.

However, serious cases involving citizens of the Republic of Ariadia may come under investigation.

"It's a little investigation, Shizufe-san. In fact, I've been looking into the drugs that have been out in the Republic of Ariadia lately."

That said, Master Decius takes some medicine out of his pocket.

"What's that?

"This medicine is available to the citizens of the Republic of Ariadia. Have you ever seen it?

I see a small black round grain in the palm of Master Dekis's hand.

What kind of medicine is that? I saw it for the first time.

"No, I've never seen it. What kind of medicine is it?

"Um...."

When I hear it, Master Decius makes it a little difficult to say.

"What are you already doing? Brother, you're not going anywhere. This is an energy pill, Mr. Shizufe. It's the medicine a man uses to spend the night with a woman."

Shenna explains.

I understand why Mr. De Kius made it difficult to say.

It is said that it is not good for Feria and Audis' followers to say sexual things in public.

"Shenna, a woman shouldn't say that."

"But, brother. We will not proceed unless we hear more about the investigation. Well, that's why I'm helping."

Shenna moans when she says so.

Certainly energetic agents are more likely to be heard by Shenna, a believer in the Goddess of Love and Beauty.

Besides, it should be easier for Shenna to find out because she has a deeper connection to Ishtia's temple than I do.

In addition, it must be difficult for Dekius, a follower of Audis who is only pious about things, to find out.

That's why they're acting together.

"That's true... Shenna. Mr Sisfe, it seems that this medicine has recently spread among the citizens of the bourgeoisie of the Republic of Ariadia. Would you let me know if you saw it?

Master Decius asks me to take care of myself.

"Yes, I understand, Dear Dekius. By the way, I was wondering, is the medicine dangerous?

When I say so, Master Decius shakes his head.

"I don't know. I had the Sorcerer's Association and the priest of the temple of the doctor's goddess Fanacare investigate it, but it seems that the Sorcerer's Hall and the priest's Hall contain ingredients that neither of them know. I don't see anyone complaining about dangerous symptoms right now... But there are also black storms. I thought I'd find out where the medicine came from."

The more I nodded, two months ago in the Black Storm, a magic potion called "Sand" appeared.

"Sand" gives people a pleasant dream, but eventually turns into a creepy rat (ratman).

This energy agent may also have a monster in it.

That's why Master De Kius is looking into it.

"I see, I see. If you see it, I'll let you know."

"Thank you, Shizufe-san. So I'm going to do this."

Bye, Mr. Shizufe.

Master Dekius and Mr Shizufe are leaving.

I'll see you off the back.

Energizer? Let me know when you see it.

With that in mind, I went back for a meal.

◆ Wizard Kirius

Why on earth should I do this?

I think in a dark room.

This is a house in the corner of the Republic of Ariadia.

This is not the place where I am a good magician.

But I have no other place to go, so I have to put up with it.

"Lord Killius. Is the medicine ready?

A fat man comes down to the basement.

"This is Lord Turkis. That's... not enough ingredients. We can't do more."

I bow my head to a fat man.

The fat man's name is Turmarkis. He's the man who's hiding me from where I've gone.

I was once one of the great magicians of the magical city of Salia.

However, the vice president of the sorcerers' association I served, Master Talabobos, lost his way and was chased by Salia.

The reason for the loss was because he contracted with the evil gods to engage in hostile acts against humans.

I have decided to flee to the Republic of Ariadia with Master Talaboss and other associates in order to regenerate.

But while I was acting differently, Master Talaboss was killed by the Light Warriors, along with his fellow men.

Having lost my place of destination, I relied on my long-time acquaintance, Tolmarkis.

Unlike in the old days, since Tormarkis is now a servant of the Warrior of Light, it was also possible to sell me to the Warrior.

But I didn't know anyone else I could count on, so I ended up going to Tolmarkis.

Though I was a little worried, as expected, Tolmarkis accepted me comfortably. I don't think I'm going to sell it to the braves.

Given the character of Turkish, I thought I would never swear allegiance to a brave man, but I did.

Rather, it seems that Tormarkis is dissatisfied with the heroes.

Tolmarkis blurred at me and said he had less money to spend freely as before.

Today, Tormarkis is not the husband of a big merchant, but the servant of a brave man, Rijena, and so on.

Most of Turmarkis' possessions were taken away and deposited with Rijena and the others.

For this reason, it is said that there is almost no money available for Turkish kissing.

I love good food, wine, gambling, and women. I wonder if you can't bear to play with less money.

This man, who once lived in luxury, must not be able to endure it.

There seems to be a rebellion against these brave men for hiding me.

And in return for hiding from me, Tolmarkis asked me if there was any way to make money.

I couldn't refuse a request for a Turkish kiss and thought of a way to make money.

I came up with the idea of selling magic medicine to the rich.

But ordinary medicine is sold by the Temple of Fanacare. So I sell medicine that I can't buy normally.

That's the magic energy agent.

When I was at the academy of the magical city of Salia, I was studying monsters.

Among the female species of certain monsters, such as goblins and orcs, there are species that emit secretions to lure males.

With that female secretion, you can create a magical energy agent.

Sell it to the rich in the Republic of Ariadia.

However, you cannot sell the medicine honorably.

There is a danger that my presence will be discovered if we find out how to manufacture it. It is also dangerous for others to know how to obtain the materials. So we should keep it a secret.

I had Tolmarkis sell my magical tools to make the original money.

Turmarkis had a wide face and it was easy to find a buyer.

This is how I set up the environment and began to manufacture medicine.

Also, thanks to the warriors I knew from Turkish, I was able to get the body fluids of the monsters that are the ingredients.

And the medicine was completed a month ago.

This energetic agent was very popular and sold at a high price to friends in Tolmarkis.

Tolmarkis, who made free money, told me to feel better and produce more medicine.

"Really? You don't have enough ingredients? I'll have to ask the commander to bring back some of Harpy's fluids."

"Yes, please. We can increase production as much as we need ingredients."

"Really? I hope so. The medicine Kirius makes is very popular with his friends. This will sell as much as you want. Nfufufu"

Turmarkis laughs.

It was such a lowly smile.
