Regardless of form, the six crew members successfully survived the exercise.
They also realized their hidden intentions in the exercise.
In the first stage, if the crew has reached a certain line of training, the next problem is separate.
That means we need someone who knows the terrain and more to step into monster space.
I don't know what to say, but I don't know anything about it at all.
As part of the journey, you can see the map to some extent, but in the deep woods... you're not even sure you can walk exactly where the sense of direction seems dull.
Doesn't Koga know?I asked, the answer is---,
I don't know either.
And in a way, the answer came back exactly as expected.
However, the Demon King couldn't possibly think of such a thing, so he introduced people who were familiar with geography and so on in the Demon King city.
The nominations sent with the scrolls I asked for early in the morning included several candidates, some of whom I just met.
"--- I mean, Hannah.Can you do me a favor? "
Hannah, a former commander of the Third Army, has often acted since she came to the Demon King City somehow.
On the day she gave me the nomination, I cut out a story for her as she watched her men clap their hands.
Ah, I see.
"That's right. I'll say no... huh?"
I thought you'd say no, but you took it?
To my surprise, Hannah stares at me with a flickering eye. [M]
"Because I'm probably the only one who knows the terrain and has the ability to enter the monster space.Rather, who likes to go where the fierce monsters are? "
Well, that's true.
"Besides, if you're not familiar with your strange behavior, you'll definitely lose your mind."
I was told it was terrible.
Am I treated as such by someone who needs a mental judgment based on my normal behavior? [M]
"I really can't help it. It's really troublesome, but I'm the only one who can do some fighting, so I'm going to have to take it."
"I see... thank you."
Regardless of the reason, I'm glad you took it.
Somewhat more knowledgeable and trustworthy than acting together with the first person I met.
"Besides, I know it doesn't make sense to say no to the Demon King."
"No, if you refuse, I'll ask someone else.... do I look so bad? "
"I'm not a bad person, but I think I have a demonic mind."
What do you mean by that?
I finally started being treated as an outsider on the inside.
This is a bad sign, yeah.
I'm going to do an angry act that I learned from my interaction with Mr. Nero after a round of applause.
"What kind of demon am I...!!"
"What the hell are you talking about creating this situation...?"
Hannah's gaze was followed by her subordinates, who clapped silently to my applause. [M]
There was no trouble like the first day of training, and I saw them all moving in the same motion with one applause, pushing them down at the same speed. I looked back at her without stopping my slapping hand.
"... everyday tea in the Lifeguard"
"Really, Mr. Nea?"
Why are you asking Nea questions here?
Nea, who has been staying on my shoulder as she looks sleepy, scratches her eyes with her wings and looks at the training ground. [M]
Um, the severity is pretty much the same.
"What environment do you live in?"
I guess I was reading a book too late.
Hannah spoke to her, stretched out and woke up. Nea talked slightly.
"Rabbit, if you look closely, you look like the person I manipulated."
"... okay"
"Hey, what can I do for you?"
The feeling of overdoing is not licking, but perhaps this could be an effective tactic against demons.
"Nea, Hannah, demons are dangerous people who trick people into thinking."
"Like you?"
"Like you?"
……
"So now I've come up with something."
"... what are you doing?"
"In case they fall under the influence of the devil... they'll wake me up with this clap."
I'm not just brainwashing it back, that's all.
"Why is this man trying to defeat the magic of the devil with a simple applause?"
I tried to deceive you properly, but it didn't work.
In fact, you've cleared the mental gates.
I'm going to push you too far from initial training to exercises.
And I'm worried about the devil's mental interference.
"... ah"
"? What's wrong?"
"Yes, you are, demon."
As I was told, I noticed with happiness the appearance of Vina, the demon who was lying down.
I had no idea because I was in training as usual, but with this man, I could think of an effective solution for the demon.
If that's the case, the conversation is quick.
Once I stopped clapping, I approached Vena.
"Ha, what am I doing!?"
"You're training, don't make a scene...."
"Why is El-san sane!?"
She called out to Vena, laughing bitterly at the noisy nonsense.
"Vina, come here for a moment."
"Ha, eh, ah, um! I'm still training..."
"Come on."
"I'm on my way!"
I summoned her, who had shown a moment of resistance, and looked back at Elle and the others looking at us strangely.
"I'm sorry I stopped. Please continue your training."
"After all, let Vena be my servant...?"
"I didn't."
Return to Nea and the others with care of Elle, who says the worst.
... don't you think we should just tell the crew who Vina is?
I don't think it's strange to notice around El-san.
"So what are you gonna do with him?"
Are you going to do an autopsy?
Hinh
"I won't."
Hannah smiles a little bit and says terrible things.
... you're kidding me, right?
"Vina, do ordinary people ever resist the magic of the devil?"
"Hmm, it's subtle. It doesn't happen... but that's it.It involves experience, birth, etc. "
When I cut out the topic first, it answers me with a little regret.
It is quick to ask the devil about the devil.
"The magic of our demons is amazing. It's called seduction."
"Temptation?"
"It paralyzes the mind and slows down thinking.There are also expressions such as drunkenness.It's almost impossible for a man as strong as he is. "
So the only way to counter it is someone as strong as me, or Neal's resistant spell.
Perhaps someone with a certain level of strength is resistant from sensation, but you can still think of it as having a little impact.
"We demons poke through the gaps in our hearts and delude humans."
"I see. So you're mentally hunting them down or making them contend with suspicions.You're a vile monster, the devil. "
"That's right. Manipulating your mind sucks."
A phantom wizard who can hallucinate with a manipulating vampire says something.
Well, if you think about it carefully, all three of them have abilities that affect their minds.
"Is there a lot of people here who have the ability to catch up with the mind?"
"Yes, there are four of you."
And I said, "Well, the four of you have the same thing."
"Am I a healing wizard?"
Nea and Hannah laughed at me.
When she was determined to retaliate for the way she treated her too much, Viina almost made a peach magic bullet in her palm and talked to me.
"Mr Usato, may I try to hit my magic first?"
"? It's fine."
"Usato-kun, I wonder if you could just listen to what I just said and allow me to do it normally...?"
Eh?
Vina, who passed through Hannah in surprise, hits me with some peachy magic. [M]
A little impact as a magic bullet, nothing in particular seems to have happened.
"Wow, it's really not working.How can you become such a mental force? "
"I am accustomed to hundreds of psychological attacks on my soul, mainly tied to training and Samaritan's curse."
"... er... do you think I'm stupid?"
It is a fact.
I was told with a confused expression.
"Hey, Rabbit, I think the situation is too funny for the devil to believe."
I know it doesn't work, but I keep staring at Nea, who is about to blow up.
Well, just so you know, I don't have the full effect of demonic magic.
"... in the meantime, how do we deal with the devil?"
"What are you going to do about it?Do you want all your men to learn magic? "
"No, we won't make it. In the first place, I don't even know if magic sensing is something anyone can handle."
It may depend on magical traits, or it may depend on the person's qualities.
We don't have enough time to look into it.
……
I can't help it.
"Abort training for now!!"
Quietly stop the trainers.
Looking around at them with a curious look, I first put magic in the cage that I deployed on my arm.
"I don't know what to do with a rabbit ---"
"Healing Magic Bomb"
Gurun, wave your arms around, spreading magic around, making sure nobody else is here but us.
Turning to the confused crew, he pushed Vina forward.
"Vina is the devil."
"... huh?"
What?
Everyone's moaning voice leaks.
Of course, but it's only a difference between early and late to find out, so it's better to break up quickly.
"Please return to your original form."
Are you sure?
"I don't mind."
While confused, Venna solves the magic and returns to the original form of the devil.
Encourage the crew to calm down and explain their surprise and annoyance at her transformation.
"As a matter of fact, this man is a demon who has spyed on us from the enemy forces, but he has turned around and has decided to help us."
……
"But her position remains the same.I'm part of the team, and I don't change my treatment. "
... I'm surprised to see her, but no one seems to object to her presence.
Elle raised her hand to give her a little peace of mind.
"What is it?"
"Er, the devil is like you're always called...?"
……?
"No, it's nothing."
When she tilted her neck with a smile, Elle blushed her face at once and pulled back.
Haha, why?
... remember Nea and Hannah who blew up behind you later.
"This is a confidential matter that shouldn't be divulged, but I thought I'd reveal it to you in an important position."
……
"Explore the Monster Realm.Because the obstacle to this mission lies in the intervention of the devil. "
There is a reason the Devil has made me his enemy, but it is only in part, and the main one is in the contest for the Devil's sealed power.
Never give a demon the power of a demon king as a side nuisance.
We must do what we can in the short time that remains to do so.
"As a matter of course, I will tell you more about exploration, and now I am talking about countermeasures to the special magic of the devil."
Here comes the countermeasure to the devil.
While explaining the dangers of demonic magic as concisely as possible, I will move on to the contents of the training I am about to give.
"From now on, I want you to be under the magic of Venna."
Er, uh, Mr. Usato?
"I said something weird, this guy."
If there is a demon here, there is no way to make good use of it.
Knowing the magic of the devil will make it easier to take countermeasures, and above all, you may be able to gain resistance.
"The magic of the devil can be troublesome even if it affects the mind.Acquiring a sense of magic and the ability to resist it.This will be a new element in your training. "
"Train as usual?"
"Yeah."
As a matter of fact, you're going to endure the sweet temptation of "wanting to escape from hard training”.
"If you are resistant, come forward now."
"Ah...."
Here, Mr. Nono raises his hand, but he doesn't move around... he looks at El-san who is burning his rebellious heart and just says, "I'll do it!", and lowers his hand reluctantly.
Nono-san, can I refuse?
"Fuck you....."
Hmm, why is that disappearing voice...?
I'm not forcing you to do anything.
"Ah, um, Mr. Usato?"
Well, Vina, please hurry up.
"Hyihn, my intentions are nowhere to be found...!"
You said you'd cooperate. [M]
"Whatever I say about the devil, there is quite a sense of companionship in these people.You can tempt me with my power.... "
You're not an unexpected bad guy.... a pervert. "
Devil is surprisingly human, isn't it?... I'm a pervert. "
Elle and Nono seemed to have some sort of scattered appreciation.
"Rest assured, Vina.I didn't tell you to use enough force to fall unconscious before and after anything.It's enough to make you feel more willing to run in a comfortable direction. "
"But what if it were easier?"
"? That's training. What are you talking about?"
"Maybe you're the devil?"
Isn't the devil yours?
Somehow I got demon certification from the devil.
"Rest assured. Vina will also join the training as she unleashes her magic.It's really tough, but if it's tough, you don't have to train anymore. "
"I'll do it."
This is completely disciplined......
Mr Vena, I've been tailored by my servants in a few days.
I wanted to hear the answer.
I need to tell Uluru and Keira to be careful not to be affected by Vena's magic in training.
Of course, I'm going to work with my men to monitor Vina's magical influence.
"I'm worried about how far I can go with the short training days left, but it's better than nothing."
In addition to the power of the Demon King, there is also Shia.
If anything stops her from being manipulated by the power of the brave... I have to deal with the same light magic as Hisago.
