Kite's recapture.
Reefa, who went to pursuit with Schiff without waiting for reinforcements to Hendil's castle, was looking far from his usual slight appearance - staring at the collapsed ruins that existed in front of him.
"Again, I can feel the signs of kite coming out of this"
"Look, there's a gap over there"
If you look in the direction Reefa pointed, there's just enough clearance there for one person to get through.
If you look around it again, the entrance to the ruins will collapse and there will be no shadow to see.
"You got out of here?"
"Oh......"
Schiff nods at my question.
I had heard about the causes of Kate and Schiff, Lyme and Orochi during the time he got here - was he up against such trials while he was not in this world?
"Orochi...... I'm gonna skewer you and eat you"
"Uh... sif"
"Never mind. I'm very upset."
No, I don't think it's a decent state, no matter what.
Entering the ruins from the gap while worrying about how Reefa is doing.
It's dark inside and I can't even see the space a little further, so I pine it.
"Shaping (Creative)/Earthling (Golem)"
Gather the soil from the ground and let the golem you created hold the pine light.
Even with the lights on, it's still dark.
It's tough inside to have to prepare for a demon raid in this situation.
"... what do you mean...!"
Schiff at the head zeroes his grunt voice.
He stood his tail up properly, as if it represented agitation? Reefa talks to.
"Shiv, what do you got?"
"Nothing"
……?
"I can't feel any sign of Orochi or any other demon here. It's impossible from me living here before."
Looking around in the dark, I do not feel any sign of a demon at all.
The ruins inhabited by Orochi are places where many demons lurk.
It's too creepy for such a place to be so quiet.
Nea would say, "Haha! Sounds like awesome fun!" or something like your brain is melting. I create about two additional golems off the ground thinking about silly things.
"Let the Sovereign be a golem. Let's go... to help Kate"
"Uhm! Right!! It's too early to be weak!! Leafa, let's go!"
"Yeah, I'll try, too"
The snorted and vigorous Schiff proceeded with Reefa to the darkness illuminated by the pine lights.
Watching that, a little late I start walking too, but the earlier dialogue embarrasses me and covers my face with my hands.
"~ ~!"
Would I have ever spoken such a straightforward word of goodwill?
In my memory, I basically only spoke ill of the outward path of the Demon King's Army and ill of the unmanned of the Elves.
So I got halfway embarrassed that I spoken such dialogue with nature.
"Hold your heart strong, I...!"
I came here to make contact with the presence that grabbed Kite.
An investigation into Orochi's threat as a minimum achievement and whether he can't be captured here.
If we can keep the infamous warcraft Orochi in our hands, it will certainly be a great weapon for the Demon King's Army.
"... big, weapon"
My hatred for the elves in my hometown is growing.
I want the place to disappear, and it would be better for the world if it had disappeared.
But now that I know the tranquillity of the crowd in a land called the Kingdom of Hendil, can I return to my original environment?
The kingdom of Hendil has a life as an adventurer, a serene, mindful interaction with people.
Every day we are chased to work in the Demon King's Army, we have to deal with the Demon King who only complains and urges us, and we have to get involved with both the outside roads who move around as they please and skip the slack and the incitement.
... Let's not think about it any more.
Sighing in this situation, I realize that Schiff and Reefa's steps, who were inadvertently walking forward, have stopped.
"Shiv, what's wrong?"
"Here, there's a staircase"
There is indeed a staircase leading downstairs.
"Kite ahead?"
"Yeah, but there wasn't supposed to be a staircase in this place."
... A demon named Schiff is very smart.
There is something about the depth of thought and judgment that is not insulting.
You can't be wrong to see where such a shiv would have lived himself.
If so, this staircase...
"Someone made it. Or something hidden that existed from the beginning?"
"I don't even want to think about it. If Kate has been taken ahead of us, we have to go."
Lighting the stairs on the golem holding the pine lights seems to be going pretty far back.
Steady down the stairs step by step, more vigilant than just now.
"Kite is easily liked by weird people."
As I went down the stairs, Reefa, who was walking in the lead, muttered about that without even touching it.
Weird guy?... No, wait a minute, what are you saying, this girl?
Not as weird as my sister Nea, but I think Reefa is weird enough, too.
"Gorilla's sister, Chissa... the brave man of the kingdom of Firgen, even likes the divine beast at the end of the sentence"
"Oh, really..."
"This time too, I'm staring at you."
There was a hell of a mix of information in the short conversation right now, is that okay?
… This is the situation, but I am interested in the content of the story.
Oh, I'm not very good at it, but do you want to get the information out?
"What do you mean by being liked by the Divine Beast -"
"Oh, wait. Something's coming from the back."
Reefa looking behind the stairs with a knife in place.
Watch her enter the combat posture and move the golem that was holding her back.
"! Orochi!?"
"Yeah, very small, something. Illis, illuminate."
"Oh, oh."
I give instructions to the golem, and when I light the pine lights to illuminate the bottom of the stairs, I do see a little something black crawling up the stairs desperately trying to climb this way.
It doesn't seem to be a threat...
It's not that big, I don't feel hostile.
"... white, snake?"
Demons, then I guess there are.
The snake demon, who noticed us, made a small noise.
"Shah, shah!"
"Huh!?"
Hearing the chirping, Shiv, who moved his tail tingly, approached the snake.
I'm about to lose my shoulder strength to the incredible sight of a snake that keeps ringing and snorting and a black cat that snorts, yeah, trying so hard to convey something.
"Are you Yulan?"
"" Huh? "
"Sher!!"
A snake that snorts and looks familiar to us, Yulan.
I can't believe Yulan was such a cute little snake demon!
... driven by the urge to hold back, but not here...!
"... let me talk to you."
"Shah......"
Yulan drips to a tough sight.
It's a series of unexpected events, but if Yulan, who took Kate, is here, he might be nearby, too.
While searching for Kite, let's try to hear Yulan's story through Shiv, the tenant who took him away.
