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

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

The Inland Sea of Ceard is a sea sandwiched between three continents: central, western and southern.

Due to its inland waters, the waves are mild, less susceptible to the outside world carrying rain, and often dry.

Especially in the western and northern parts of the southern continents, it is particularly arid and forms a vast desert zone.

There are gypsies in the Sanukira Desert in the north-eastern part of the dry southern continent.

The Kingdom of Ishus is a country at the mouth of the Nile River in the northern part of its gypsies.

The population is about 15,000.

However, most of the inhabitants are not ordinary people.

Most of the citizens are beastmen with heads such as cats, dogs, sheep, and birds.

This Gypsy Land is famous for the coexistence of many Beastmen.

This is also evident from the fact that many Beastmen are depicted in the murals of this Ishtia Temple.

This is a rare sight in the world.

Normally, if these different species come together, a struggle will arise.

In fact, beastmen, other than gypsies, are fighting among different races, including humans.

But they coexist in gypsies.

It is all the power of the Gypsy gods and their family, the Sphinx.

With them ruling over the Beasts, this gypsy is peaceful.

And me and Reggie are coming to the Kingdom of Ishus.

View from the second floor of Ishtia Shrine.

Outside you can see the River Nile.

I feel a strong enthusiasm.

It seems to be a lie to have been in the Kingdom of Eldo until a few hours ago.

Move from the eastern central continent to another continent at once.

Magic is really useful.

Looking down, there are many beastmen in the square in front of the temple.

By the way, I've never seen these Beastmen before.

Many of them live in gypsies, but some of them travel outside the gypsies.

I have met a caravan of gypsy origin in the past.

The caravan was very cluttered with various beasts and humans, such as dwarves.

They lived on carriages wandering around.

However, the Beast should be eliminated from the eyes of the Order of Audis and Feria, who only recognize the family of the gods of Ellios.

As a result, they may be subject to persecution.

However, there are also times when people interact with each other in an outer city that is not relatively persecuted.

At that time, they earn money by showing performances such as divination and singing and dancing.

Songs such as the love story of a cat's gypsy daughter and a human young man are particularly famous.

However, some of them use the agility they have to steal.

It is no fault of them to steal from anyone but their friends. However, it is also one of the reasons for persecution.

"Chiyuki, are you here?"

Rage came upstairs and called out to me.

"Reiji. Are you ready to go to Arnak?

Arnak is the home of the gods in the heart of Gypsies.

We're going up the Nial River to get there.

I wish I could transfer it directly to Arnak, but it's forbidden for defensive reasons.

Therefore, Ishtia must move away from the transferable Kingdom of Ishtia.

What a hassle.

"What an interesting place. What about gypsies?"

Reiji says looking at the scenery.

It is quite different from the eastern part of the Central Continent where we normally operate.

"I see. You can't see this in other parts of the world. We'll all come back when Shirone's back."

Oh, yeah.

We both look out.

I can feel my gaze there.

"Yeah? What's wrong? Reiji?"

I saw Raj staring at me.

It looks good on you.

"Oh, yeah. Thank you very much."

I can't help but answer.

I am now changing into a gypsy costume.

White sheath dress, gold thread, silver thread belt, various jewelry.

Eye shadow is pale. The lipstick uses a gypsy-made magenta

He also wears gold and silver ornaments on his arms and feet.

It's an elegant outfit.

I borrowed all of these from Ishtia.

It is very fun to wear these exotic costumes.

However, if there is a problem, there is a slit from the tip of the foot to the waist, so it can be seen even at the edge of the thigh.

It's just a little embarrassing.

But I wonder if I would be embarrassed to see her come to Gypsy Seal with this level of exposure.

With that in mind, someone comes upstairs after Rage.

It was Ishtia and the cats that came up.

I'm not ashamed of this Ishtia.

"You were here? You two were close."

Ishtia laughs.

Ishtia is wearing gypsy costumes just like me.

The most exposed skin is more than mine.

The slit rises to the top so that you can see your buttocks just by moving it a little.

I can't see the line of my underwear even though the slit is up quite a bit, it's probably no pants.

It's a horrible erotic thing.

In front of this sexy porn goddess, it's ridiculous to be embarrassed by this level of skin exposure.

When I'm on my side, all the men are bound to see Ishtia.

If this goddess had someone who could beat her, it would be like the goddess Lena.

That's why I couldn't help but return Reiji's compliments.

"Now, it looks like we're ready. Let's go."

Ignoring my feelings, Ishtia smiles attractively.

We'll be taken down from the second floor by Ishtia.

We're going to the harbor.

"I'm ready. Goddess."

A cat man in a luxurious costume crosses his arms in front of his chest and lowers his head.

Crossing your arms in front of your chest and lowering your head is how this country bows.

Her name is Bat-Shept, the cat who lowered his head at the beginning.

He is the deputy (Pharaoh) of God in this kingdom of Ishus.

The proxy of God (Pharaoh) is like a king in man.

However, the distance between God and the King is quite close.

I hear that the gods of Ellios do not interfere much with humans, whereas the gods of Gypsy often interfere.

We ride the bat sheep's prepared bowl.

It's not that far from the temple to the harbor.

I don't think it is necessary to use the sacrifice on purpose.

Or can't we let God walk the same path as the foliage?

Besides, I feel like the security is too strict.

There are a lot of dog guards with jackal heads.

But this is not our country.

Let's follow the way of this country.

The goddess who put us on board moves.

It is a human slave that carries it.

There are also many Beastmen in Gypsy Seal.

However, he is in a lower position than the Beastman.

Some of them seem to be slaves.

Having received modern education in Japan, I have a sense of resistance to slavery.

But now is not the time to complain.

We should give priority to helping Shirone now.

Ride gently.

People with light and dark skin characteristic of this region take responsibility and go out on the road.

The goddess is enormous, and there is still room for me, Raj, Ishtia, and two maids in Bathsheep.

Ishtia sits face to face with us.

When I put my feet together, I think I can see things I shouldn't see.

"Raj, what about this country?

Ishtia laughs.

In the first place, this kingdom of Ishtia was dedicated to Ishtia.

Ishtia changed the original name.

Bat-Shept reigns over this country on behalf of Ishtia.

"Quite an interesting country. I never thought I'd see the Beastman so much."

Rage looks out.

In the city, which can be seen from the gap between the thin silk curtains, the people of the kingdom of Ishus lie face down with their foreheads on the ground.

If this were a normal sight, it would be hard just to go out.

"I've never seen such a beastman before...."

Look out like Reggie.

"Yeah? What's that?

I saw something moving behind people lying down.

The shadows are moving in line with the sun.

I felt something bad about the move.

"Oh, did you notice Chiyuki? Looks like someone's been after us for a while now."

Reggie seems to have noticed already.

"Fufufu, looks like you're after me. It's funny."

Ishtia seems to be enjoying herself despite being targeted.

"Sorry!! My great god!! I didn't expect such a scoundrel!!

Bateshept apologizes with his head on the floor. I don't think I have to do that much.

"It's fine. By the way, do you know who this is?

"No.... I don't know anything about it. I can't believe there are people after the Great God."

I wonder if it was because of the untouchables in the country under my administration that Bat-Shept is trembling so pitifully.

"Oh, really? I thought you knew something because you were more secure than usual."

Apparently, it is not my fault that the security is too strict.

"That's the case... Well... lately. The Great Sphinx told me to keep security tight.

There was an accident. That's why we're tripling our security. "

Looks like Bat-Shept doesn't know anything.

"Strictly secure? Is something wrong?

Ishtia leans her neck.

Well, that's fine. If we catch them over there, we'll talk. Maybe he knows something. "

"Oh no!! There is no extinction!! I'll have the guards catch him right away!! Fellas!! Get the traitor!!

Bat 'sheep rushed to move the guard.

"It's too late. They're coming for us."

That's what Raj said. An explosion occurs on the road ahead of you.

I can hear the people screaming.

And the throne will be brought down. Those in charge and the dogs draw their swords.

"What's that smell?

I feel a strange smell mixed with the smoke of the explosion.

"I don't like the smell. Probably a dog countermeasure."

Ishtia's right. The dogs outside are starting to suffer.

In the first place, most people in this country should not have known we were coming.

Nevertheless, this is all we can do.

I'm sure he was always ready to attack.

I activate magic to see the Raider in the smoke.

The predecessors, the black beasts, came forward with their swords raised.

"Reiji!! Shu...."

I noticed that Reggie wasn't there to say we had to deal with the raider.

"Chiyuki, Reiji's already out there."

Fast. I didn't notice.

Follow Reggie's shadow with magic.

Reggie stood on the throne.

"I don't know who it is, but it is my mission to protect beautiful women. Let me take it down."

Reiji pulls out the sword of light when he says so.

He's as mentally retarded as ever.

I have a headache.

"Reiji!! They're human!! Don't try to kill them!!

I send a magical message to Raige.

Magically, the attacker appears to be human.

Maybe he's being manipulated.

"Ok!! Chiyuki!!"

Rage moves.

The motion is an electrolithographic fire.

Defeat the raider in an instant.

And in a few seconds, we'll take down all the raiders.

"Thank you, Reggie."

When all the raiders are defeated, me and Ishtia descend.

"That's right. Let's do it. Raige"

Is it because Reggie protected me? Ishtia says happily when she comes down from the throne.

"You could have managed without me. If it's this much for you."

Rage looks behind us.

Looking back, there was someone behind me.

"Pi?! Pistis god?!!!

How long have you been behind me? I didn't notice it at all.

Pistis shouldn't have been with us in the first place.

Besides, it didn't catch my magic earlier.

It could be quite a concealed user. With his power, the raiders would have been fine without Reggie.

Ishtia, the god in the first place, should be stronger than humans.

In other words, Ishtia was in no danger at all.

"Fufufu, that's right. There was no danger. But that's just Lena's hero. There are not many gods who care about Pistis."

Thank you for that.

It's kind of a good vibe.

But it's not that far now.

"That Ishtia. I'm sorry to make you look like you're having fun, but it's better to treat the guards and the people around you... And we need to find out who the assailants are."

I say, Ishtia just noticed.

I'm not interested in the raiders or the wounded.

"Oh, yeah. Bat-Shept, if anyone is hurt, don't treat them."

"Yes, Great God!! If anyone is conscious, return to the palace immediately and bring help!!

Bat 'sheep orders the dogs who didn't fall with smoke.

Some of the dogs run.

"Well, the assailant... He looks human, but who is he? If you're being manipulated, I need to help you...."

I approach one of the assailants.

The assailants were all black. I can't see my face.

There, I noticed the crest on the sword pattern of the raider.

"Is this the crest of the evil eye? Maybe a serpent worshipper!!?

Speak up unexpectedly.

"I know a lot about it. Hey, miss. Yes, it is. They're definitely snake followers."

Pistis laughs at me.

Apparently, Pistis knew who the assailant was.

Snake worshippers are people who worship Snake Queen Diadona.

I learned of the existence of the congregation when I looked into Diadona before.

And according to research, the serpent worshippers are also known as the Murderers, a cult whose doctrine is to dedicate many human lives to the Queen of the Snake.

I don't know when such a church was born, but according to the literature, it is presumed to be a church made by humans whose mother is Lamia and Gorgon.

I didn't expect to meet a serpent here.

"I can't believe you have a Diadonian follower here. Is that why you keep security tight? Do you know anything about this? Pistis?"

"No, Master Ishtia. I don't know why it's so obvious. But something's happening.

I'm sure you're right. {} "

Pistis laughs and his tail shakes loosely.

I see. I wonder what's going on. That sounds interesting. "

Ishtia smiles uncomfortably.

Why is that? The smile resembles Reggie.

Maybe he likes rough things as much as Reggie does.

Why is that? I felt like there was trouble waiting for me to go.
