Cursed Sword Master

The price of begging for your life.

On the day of the confrontation, the sky was not so much a thin cloud as it was a cloudy sky that covered the entire sky, but I managed to see where the sun was across the cloud. The designated time of the enemy is noon today.

Normally, it would mean noon. But there is no exact clock in this world. So even if the sunlight leaves somewhat past the hollow, it shouldn't mean it's too late.

So me and Sistina used all our time to prepare and rest and left the mansion fully equipped.

My gear.

'Sunflower' at left hip for holding in right hand. 'Blink slash' on right hip.

'Pot gold' made of demonic copper and impact-resistant on the head.

On the arm is "Lion Asthma," a shock-resistant, ranged attack grant pressed from Sisioux.

The leg is made of demon steel and the "leg armor" is awarded with agility correction.

The torso is made of demonic steel, the "cladding" granted by the demon resistance

Later, he weaves a coat of skin from the top of his curtain, and a heavily linked bracelet created from a buster sword is equipped with both hands and feet.

I'm not proud of it, but I'm proud that the equipment is quite good. I naturally don't have the muscle to complain to anyone about compensating my gear with enough strength if I don't even mistake the power of the gear as my own. I only have one life, so if I die of glory or intent, I don't have an ex or a child.

Sistina's gear walking next to me.

The weapon is a spear, axe, hammer combination, made of demonic steel, magic amplification + granted 'demonic break', which is a two-handed weapon.

The head is made of demonic copper, just like me, and the 'pot gold' is impact-resistant.

The arms are made of Demon Steel, and the "Shield Armor" is granted by Demon-Resistant.

The leg is made of Demon Steel, just like me, and the "leg armor" is awarded with agility correction.

And the torso is made of demon steel, in addition to the Demon Resistant Granted "Chest Armor", the "Water-resistant Bra". He also wears a robe from his lord for an extra reward between his water-resistant bra and his chest armor.

This is a simple appraisal and they say, "Water Dragon Scale Clothes." What a rank. In fact, it seems that this robe has plenty of water dragon lake road dragon scales planted between the fabrics of the robe, making it incredibly highly suited to water.

Not only can you move fairly freely through the water if you put magic through the scales, but it also aids breathing by putting a thin membrane on the body surface for a short while. And of course it was cheat gear that only dragon scales are usually highly defensive.

Of course, Sistina didn't know about that effect, but she accidentally activated it because she was wearing the magic of the restoration technique, and because of it, Sistina and I were able to get to the mansion safely.

It is said that a water dragon Lake Road dragon with such a scale basically never appears to come out of the bottom of the habitat, but even if it does appear rarely, it is almost invincible near the water field and is not the kind of demon a person can do this with his power.

So why do you have such water dragon scale-based gear... that seems to be because it occasionally pops in the upper levels as a tower hierarchy owner. But in the water, the invincible water dragon also has no water around him. At the same time, he can't withstand the weight of the pop, and he can't move properly. There is a joke that he can easily peel the scales in a sandback state with almost no risk without being able to fight back.

However, since the demons in the tower are absorbed by the tower as soon as they die, it is the principle that only demon stones are dropped, and no matter how much scaling they have, they disappear when they defeat the water dragon.

However, it seems that the material of the demon in the tower can be obtained as a drop by taking the demon out of the tower and disconnecting it from the main body before it dies.

Normally, I don't go outside either just to secure the material for one demon, and if I put the demon stone and the material on the balance, the demon stone won't be more tense, and the ingredients are good, so I don't need to use such a backhand, but when I encounter a rare expensive material demon, they sometimes aim to collect the material.

It seems to be forbidden in every tower to take demons out on top of the difficulty if you don't have enough strength to collect the most material to keep them alive and not kill them, or you have to pull them out and go out with them.

Naturally, it could be catastrophic if you take the demon of your hand outside and get away with it by mistake.

That's a lot of talk, but what I was trying to say at last is that we're not going to quit fighting and we're never going to lose again.

"Sistina, how long do you think there's a respite for time"

I ask Sistina, who is next door while walking slowly. Sistina looked around and into the sky whining that she was right.

"Apparently they're watching us from where we left the mansion, so I'm wondering if there's a problem with going quite slowly without even directions"

At the end of Sistina's gaze is a bird shadow swirling through the sky.

"I see... shall we call it cowwalking tactics?"

"Bullwalk tactics?... I see. You're analogous to the slow walk of a creature called a cow."

"Right. Or Musashi Miyamoto on his way to Kirishima?

"... are you a Japanese swordsman? Oh, this one was duplicitous, too."

"Ha, that's really awesome. Sistina's library of wisdom. You don't have to worry about it because it reacts instantly even if you bring up the topic of the planet, and it's kind of a relief."

"Hehe, don't hesitate to talk to me. Because I also enjoy being inspired to look into a lot of things.

But don't get suspicious by inadvertently talking about the planet elsewhere. "

I try not to use words that don't make sense in this world as much as possible when speaking outside the mansion, so it's slight but stressful. I'm scared that if I get used to less stressful conversations in the mansion, I'm going to have a blur outside.

The destination is further north of the tower of Zatil, north of Fresberg. Usually it gets roundabout but stops at the city, stops at the Adventurer's Guild and goes north from there to the tower, but this time from the mansion directly towards the tower of Zachir without going through the city.

That said, I'm not going to the tower, so I'm going north along the mountain. The abandoned stone cuttings are part of Mount Paclit.

We were slowly walking in a chat with Sistina and no other love to relieve each other of our tensions, but still we get to our destination one day.

What I could see was exactly where I felt like I said rock. There are various stones, large and small, rolling all over the place, and the grass is not growing at all. And it was a very familiar view of what the site of a stone cut cut cut cut cut off like a cove would say.

I wonder what it was...... oh, that's it. The scene of a special shoot that often comes out with some kind of masked La Oder or something. It was like that.

It's getting higher around the protagonist and the villain looks down on the protagonist from above. Like? That's exactly what it was. If we keep going, the Phantom will come out and the Shooker will hee around! That's the key! That's why I come out, but this time a red meteor executive will come out and a lower end constituent will show up.

Perhaps they will attack with bows and magic unilaterally and simultaneously from high around at the same time as the negotiating decision. That's an unfriendly terrain that won't even allow a special attack on a tick or a bee.

"Hmm, finally here..."

I was thinking about that. A skinny guy appears to me who came in a gray robe with a needlehawk clumped around his left shoulder on the high ground in the front.

Apparently this man is using that needlehawk. It would be one of the executives to see a meteor tattoo on the back of his right hand stroking the demon. Sisioux, according to the info, I only heard about the unbelievably hard to handle info that Shaaz is an all-purpose superman, Shadula is an intelligent at magic, and Pazion is smart but creepy...

In light of that, he would be the schemer pazion.

"Sistina, please. As far as I can without having to..."

"Yes, because I believe it too"

Sistina nods forcefully at my whispering request.

"Well, let's start with me."

I answer a pazion-like man when I step forward.

"I haven't been here in Fresberg for long. We won't have a choice."

"Hmm! It didn't look that way. Well, let's just get this over with."

Pazion lifts his hand with a nasty grin on his mouth.

At the same time, bandits show up on the high ground that surrounds us, each with a bow to set a target for us. As far as I can confirm, there are nearly a hundred of them, so this is probably all of the residual force of the red meteor. It's hard to imagine that we're going to turn all our forces on the two of us, so maybe if we get the Samurai Festival here, we're going to move to a different place again.

"As I told you in my letter. I'll save your life. Give me your samurai."

"I don't think the Samurai Festival is that easy to give even if you ask me to give it to you?

I will first try to tell Pazion, who unilaterally demands Sistina, of his willingness to gently refuse.

"Well, it's hard to believe you can still say that in this situation. Sometimes it's just that I'm under contract with the Samurai Festival at the bend.

But you don't seem smart. "

"What does that mean?

"You think we don't know?

Pazion that narrows your eyes and strengthens your eyes. Now, what the hell do you know… it would be the murder of the Meisa One Party that would surely be elusive for once.

Is there any confusion about the destruction of one party in Diago?

"You've already killed over seventy of our comrades. Besides, one of them is the leader's sister. Is that enough reason to tear you apart?

Around thirty in the village of Coloni, around twenty in the tower and Diago, around twenty in the mansion and Meiza, around twenty in the Azito of the... in fact, we are crusading nearly ninety to a hundred bandits, but we still haven't been able to identify the culprits on the matter in the tower. In other words, the tower will absorb the body, so it is possible that Diago and his men have not even been known to have been destroyed.

But more than that...

"That would be mutual. Because you two women, my dear friends and beloved wives, underneath the rocks."

"Don't be stupid. There's over seventy of us. You killed almost half the whole thing.

Well, you guys are two of the four. Although, in a way, we certainly can't even say we're half of each other?

Are you kidding me? Huo or Cherry Blossom are in line with all those scumbags! It's not worth as much as Mr. Hotaru's nail dirt that 70 would be 100 or 200 garbage scumbags like them!

Sistina pulls me off my sleeve when I almost put my hand on the sword too unexpectedly of all the black anger that reached the boiling point at once. If that move had been any slower, I would have set up a reckless special attack on my own.

When I thank Sistina in my heart, I slowly and repeatedly breathe to calm my mind and chill my head.

"... Do you know that the power of the Samurai Festival is only if there is a contractor, and that there is basically absolute obedience to that order?

"Of course I know"

In fact, there are three types of contracts. The only ones that force absolute obedience are "subordinate contracts," but they don't know much about the details.

It's not wrong that the power of samurai festivals has a contractor, and even outside of subordinate contracts, samurai festivals are only so known to the public because they don't really defy contractors.

"It's Sistina 'Orders'. If I get hurt or killed, you hurt yourself immediately."

"Yes, I understand."

"Nah! You! What are you doing!

Pazion embarks on himself like he was in a hurry. I wish they would just fall as-is anyway.

"It doesn't make sense that honestly handing over the Samurai Festival doesn't guarantee my safety. I've been robbed of something important by you guys. The only thing left is a samurai festival here.

But well, even that doesn't have to compare if it costs my life and my balance. So giving away the samurai festival is no longer a choice in itself. But that would make sure I survive, and I wouldn't cancel my contract with Samurai unless I was convinced to. "

"Come on!"

Honestly, there's a strong wagering element around here. I think they're pretty obsessed with getting the Samurai Festival. The stronger that obsession, the stronger Sistina will be by now's 'orders' as my shield.

But if you get too strong and go slightly beyond their obsession, all of Sistina will be killed under total attack. Of course I'm not going to get easily done where that happened.

"Master Shaaz. What do you want me to do?

Pazion leaks a remorseful groan and looks back behind her. It doesn't look angular from here, but I guess there's Shaaz, the leader of the Big Bandits Red Meteor.

"Isn't that enough, brother? Didn't we originally come without a samurai festival or something?"

"Master Shadullah. If I may say so, this is an opportunity. The ability of the Samurai Festival makes an extraordinary jump in the safety of Master Shaaz. Just say it comes with a samurai festival and you won't even be able to dispose of it as a bandit easily, and the samurai festival blindly protects the contractor.

That those two people who fell under the cliff in our trap, who set all that bullshit up, are here now. That is proof of that. And if we get the Samurai 'contract' skills, we'll have a steady income in the future. "

"Is that the skill you were passionate about?"

"Yes, with this skill, you can add as many subordinations as you want that you will never betray tied with a contract. It also eliminates the hassle of deliberately flirting with annoying miscellaneous soldiers who don't listen.

You won't be dissatisfied with food issues, or you can carry a woman you've never been able to walk with. "

"Sure, that's a thankful ability if that's true, but we don't have much time. Your intel says the Lords won't move, but they won't, will they?

I don't need to attack Fresberg anymore because they made a mistake this time, so I want to move to my next destination. I have an appointment with the church. "

Wow, that's just downstairs. I hear leaks. The conversation between Pazion and Shadulla is all that makes chest shit bad. Don't be too suspicious about the denomination.

And this method is pretty usable if you can hear so much of the conversation they're talking about so far away.

I tried the way I came up with it because it would be easier to get the negotiations going the way I wanted if I knew what they were thinking, but I'm glad it worked out. Naturally, this conversation is supposed to sound like Sistina in the back, and we're going to leave the final negotiations to Sistina.

Did the eavesdroppers aim at Samurai's contract skills after all? If you do have contractual skills, you will no longer have to worry about betrayal or espionage infiltration because you can make them swear absolute obedience and increase their distribution. Besides, I am absolutely obedient, so I am not dissatisfied with food and other treatments.

The same applies to female prisoners. Until now, I wonder if there have been things like breaking right down and having trouble disposing of them, being self-abandoned and rampaged, or seeing gaps and getting away with it.

Then I guess I couldn't take him with just more hassle on a red meteor that doesn't define its base and is always premised on travel, but with contract skills, I can also tie up the behavior around it.

They didn't say, but even if a unit like the Lords Army came to control you, you could do it by tying it up with contract skills and letting them report lies, or by forcing highly capable people to add to the distribution, maybe that's what makes the Lords themselves manipulative dolls.

Because of such dangerous skills, the qualities of the Samurai Festival itself are of paramount importance in order to become a Samurai Festival and gain contract skills. Because I have trouble with people who easily contract bad guys or abuse their contract skills.

The method of sorting around it was not taught in detail like an outside secret, but there are many trials when it comes to being a samurai festival, and the number of samurai festivals itself is quite small because you don't seem to be able to be a samurai festival without making an even heavier pledge over it. It is not uncommon for the contract itself or for the Samurai Festival itself to sign a lifetime contract in order to be carefully identified and determined.

In this case, brainwork seems to be the main plotter pazion that really wants a samurai festival from the story stream. At least Shadullah's not that obsessed with the Samurai Festival.

The question is what about the leader Shaaz, but there's no sign he's in the conversation. Are you silent?

I didn't think they'd respond to that, but they still think about half of the bandits we've knocked down were their hiatus. The red meteor has probably been expanding and shrinking that way and has improved its quality as an entire regiment.

The Fresberg invasion is also an intermission of its original purpose… perhaps a plan to take away just enough supplies to be taken away while you are rambling the Miscellaneous Soldiers in the city at will, leaving the Miscellaneous Soldiers, driven by greed and running late, to crusade by the Lords Army, Adventurers and Explorers?

This means, conversely, that the bandits who remain and are after us from above continue to survive such harsh sorting of red meteors.

Even after they do show up here, they never make wasted moves until they have instructions. There's no such thing as running out or shouting dissatisfaction. To be honest, it can be a bit of a hassle when it comes to being highly skilled up to the miscellaneous fish.

"Okay, here's what we'll do. I only listen to his requests for once. If it's acceptable, I'll accept it, sign a contract, and then I'll send an assassin to dispose of it.

If the request is unacceptable, we'll have to dispose of both of them and start moving. "

"Brother, I thought that would be acceptable."

"Whatever you want."

"Yes."

Apparently, the story has been wrapped up. Pazion looks down on this one again.

"Say what you want."

Well, what shall we do? It's not until this answer that I can postpone...

"What I want is my safety in the future. So the terms of my contract with the Samurai Festival are...

[After the Samurai Festival extradition, there shall be no contact or harm to myself or my property from the Golden Wheel Red Meteor or the person requested by the Red Meteor]

That's all. "

"Chi, Master Shaaz"

Pazion seems to be looking back and confirming Shaaz's intentions when he smashes his tongue small on my demands, but he quickly gives back his nod and turns back to this one.

"Fine. I'll drink your demands. That's what I was talking about."

Don't say that often. You were certain to kill me eventually from the start. Either way, is that all I can do?

"... ok. Then cancel your contract with Samurai Festival."

I take one big sigh and look back and glance at Sistina and nod slightly at each other.

"I'm sorry, Sistina. I don't want to die yet... let's cancel the contract."

"... Yes. I have no choice. We can't let Master Souzillo die."

With her sad eyes down, Sistina forced herself to make it. She cast a spell with a smile and called a translucent contract to the universe in light yellow (...) between us.

Same thing Sistina showed me the day I first came to this world. There's my signature in the signature section at the bottom, and there are signs of me tampering with it.

"Then repeat and proclaim, as I do"

"Samurai Festival Sistina cancels contract with contractor Fujimiya General Wolf"

"Fujimiya General Wolf cancels contract with Samurai Festival Sistina"

At the same time that our proclamation was exchanged, the entire pale yellow contract was filled with freckles and crackles, and the next instant was scattered.
