In terms of the degree of shock, it can be said that the same shock that ran through my body when I gained anime knowledge.

Am I married Alicia?

Certainly, it was true in the past. The content of the engagement is a political marriage aimed at strengthening the alliance between Dalis and Circus.

Princess Alicia of Circus, and Slow Denning, a nobleman rumored to be promising in Dalis. I think it's not bad, but it's annoying for him.

That's the story I've been playing since I became the Black Duke. Now nobody recounts that Alicia and I were fiancee.

Why is it now?

Let's just laugh at Alicia with the silly story of our engagement. I like it. Even though I thought so, it is true that she will be affirmed. I'm surprised.

"..."

For some reason Alicia looks at me with her cheeks red.

Calm down, me.

I'm wrong now.

Marriage is a big change in life.

I love Charlotte and, fortunately, I have two thoughts now. In the future, it's embarrassing to think, but I hope I can have such a relationship.

I mean, that's why I became the Black Pig Duke.

"..."

With my usual Alicia, I can never get married to a guy like me! Key is the time to get angry.

I defend my face by raising my arms in front of my face. I wondered if something would fly out of my mind, but there was no such sign.

Alicia's face is red and somehow shy.

"Slow ... what are you doing?"

"No, I'm beaten."

"... Huh"

Alicia's image in me is that of Shuya. Even in reality, anime is full of tsun elements. Until she became fond of Shuya, she realized she was fighting every day. That's what made Alicia an inaccessible school.

If you are deceived by this pretty appearance, you will see painful eyes. And it was painful-they are also in Krush Magic Academy. I picked up Alicia and made my pride stubborn. The number of boys I know doesn't go down just ten.

"..."

What about Alicia now?

In the dark carriage, without lighting the lamp

She is shyly prone with physical education sitting down. I couldn't figure out what to do because I couldn't see it in the anime.

But this seems like silence is too long. He doesn't seem to have anything to say from him anymore, will I talk about it?

"Oh, Alicia?"

"Well ... the story of me and Slow's engagement is a fact. The upset is a one-sided criticism from the Sarkista ..... I'm listening. "

It was abnormal.

I just ate the rice a little while ago, but it was an unusual situation.

In this situation, I'm really hungry, so the human body is amazing.

Keep calm.

Be calm, me.

There are a lot of things I want to say about why the duke is more familiar with Alicia than I am, but I'll leave that for now.

"Alicia. I want you to tell me in detail."

Many shadows are moving in the dark.

Men who cover with black hoods so that their faces are not evenly understood. They whispered to each other and watched their prey behavior.

The target this time is three boys and girls and one monster.

“——Gokan-sama! Marking around the area has begun! The monsters are slowly moving forward toward their targets!”

The man who bundles them, the monster master (Monster Tamer) Gokan nodded slowly to his subordinate's voice.

The Demon Master (Monster Tamer) is a very effective profession in the labyrinth. Because they can only increase their strength in the labyrinth.

Gokan, the head of the bandits, is a monster tamer. Originally, he was a famous adventurer.

"The sound of my magic flute is used to signal the monsters to attack the monsters as usual. At that point, where did the happith spider disappear?"

"It is reported that we are eating at a place that is far away. Gokan-sama, we have placed food with markings there as ordered, but is there an effect?"

"It's going to be a time-saver. You can beat that as far as the monsters along the border I play."

Gokan understood at a glance.

That monster who was with that boy and girl, that was Hackei Dallas.

Predator lurking deep in the labyrinth. At least not the monsters that live along this Circus border. Gokan is the first monster I've ever seen, but I've seen that feature in the literature.

He says that it's a monster that doesn't have a fixed place of residence and travels repeatedly.

"Is it possible for Gokan to use that monster? If we can get such a powerful monster, we can expect our power to expand further."

"It's not impossible, but it takes time. And many die. If you're ready, I'm okay."

Subordinates with faint expectations solidify in Gokan's words.

Gokan groans at the situation.

"For those monster-stained monsters, during our work, we will stop and stop the monsters enough to not disturb. That's enough."

Even from the perspective of Gokan, the monster, Hackei Dallas, who was pulling the carriage on which boys and girls ride, had to say that it was difficult to use it.

There are various ways that Monster Tamer (Monster Tamer) can use monsters. Immediately after the monsters are born into the world, some people develop trust and act according to human commands. Others give special medicines to follow the monster's consciousness.

Gokan is the latter, which is classified as the general monster tamper. However, Gokan was a very talented human in the sense that he used many monsters.

"Gokan-sama! The bait has been scattered! The monsters have already begun to move in the forest!"

"Good job. You keep the distance as usual. Start right away."

Gokan is a typical monster tamer, but the reason he ranks him as one of the evil monsters is his deep understanding of the ecology of monsters living in this forest. He knows the food that monsters prefer and knows its habitat. Scattering addictive bait in the forest, and the monsters used to that bait, smell the bait and take their time to gather as soon as possible.

But.

No matter how powerful, the bandit business cannot be done by himself. There are limits to what you can do alone. Naturally, Gokan, who has a harsh past as an adventurer, understands that much.

However, recruiting friends did not have any difficulties with the special power of Gokan.

Many of the humans who get lost in such forests are meaningful, and when they show such monsters, they easily fall under Gokan. Along the border with more than 50 large households, the powers will be in the top three.

Even with such bandits, suddenly appearing tonight along the borders of Circusta and Dalis, a great power, they seemed the best as prey.

The reason is simple: the existence of that carriage-pulling monster, Hackei Dallas.

I can't see the monster (Monster Tamer), but he is using such a huge monster. He must be quite rich or noble. That was the common recognition of the bandits.

"But Gokan, who are they? Suddenly, they'll appear with such a giant monster, and you won't see any pieces of caution.

"Think about age. They're still young and can't be just a trip. All three carry a stick, that's not a sham. It's a real wizard."

"Why is a wizard like this?"

"Well, I don't know why, but there's no doubt that tonight is a chance. Some of those carriages are gold-eyed.

Gokan had a light feeling.

Only a high-ranking person can bring such a monster, perhaps as an instinct as a monster master (monster tamer).

The general monster tamer uses drugs to train monsters, but the happiest spider, Hackei Dallas, is surprisingly used in trust.

Even if you are close to the master, but not near, it is impossible if you have a considerable status, such as receiving a monster that can act faithfully for humans under the command of the master.

The warrior shook.

Judging from the direction in which you came, you are undoubtedly a noble class of the knight nation (Daris).

Everyone has no idea why noble people are here, but this was an opportunity.

Gokan has already been reported by subordinates to have scattered the bait that many monsters prefer around them.

"Gokan-sama! I'm completely ready! There are monsters everywhere! You're in the sky!"

The way forward is straightforward.

Monsters storm them, and bandits take away their luggage when they are gone. Bandits, they are not amateurs, but professionals. He continued to flee from the Knights of Sirkista homeland and built up his power.

If it turns out to be a noble person, it may be taken hostage, but what happens this time?

"Is it about to start?"

Monster Master II (Monster Tamer) is not a face-up fighter.

Monster Tamer is a fighter. Use the subordinate monsters and do not move themselves. It is thought that they will exert a great influence on the war between human beings in the future, so that each country will be excited to secure monster use.

"Gokan-sama! As usual, please give me the last finish!"

As your subordinates say, the rest is just finishing.

Just use the treasure of Gokan to accelerate the monster's movement.

Gokan works on his necklace, the catalyst that controls the monsters.

A lost item in the labyrinth (magic item), a proof of living as an adventurer.

Thanks to this, the monster loses reason and starts acting in a straight line towards the place where the food is.

"Monsters together-attack them"

The head of an unnamed bandit lurking along the border between Cirquista and Dalis.

Demon Master (Monster Tamer) Gokan is determined to give magic to his necklace.

I can't resist seeing the shouting faces of boys and girls, but this is also to live. Don't be sorry. In response to the action of Gokan, the head of the bandits, thieves start moving.

Combat start.
