Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
161. Yesterday's Enemy
"Mm-hmm. That verse annoyed you..."
Go outside. No, that's what the man in the mouthcloth said and he's honestly lowered his head.
"Er..."
As for drift protection, which also assumed that we would fight each other again, the momentum would be cut off.
"I am a mercenary. I was hired by Lord Redrack as an escort."
If you ask, he said he was hired knowing that Redrack was a villain because he had been promised a high reward.
"I was going to have a brief bodyguard... but unexpectedly, I became the feather of getting caught up in an unprecedented training ground. It still depends on being reminded that even though the money payment is attractive, you shouldn't have interacted with outlaws"
…………
I did care at that time that it wasn't like the mafias around me.
Even as a boy from modern Japan, I'm not going to say anything hypocritical. I hear a lot of mercenaries take on grey jobs, and I guess it's not unusual in this world.
But again, as a drift shield, Mia's figure preceded her in her complex feelings.
"At least it's an apology. Be sure to stay at my inn. I'm distressed that it's not free, but I'll make it as cheap as possible."
To the man's words, the exodus and Bergrette face to face. They have the phrase "yesterday's enemies are today's friends" for hire and operation. That's what it said in "AND GO" borrowed from Mia.... and vice versa.
"Let me ask you something."
"Mm-hmm. If you can answer me."
"Don't you know what happened to Redrack?
"No. I haven't seen Mr. since then. In the end, it ends without a reward."
"Right..."
Maybe he's no longer a vigilant opponent, such as Redrack. but it is also true that I cannot be relieved when I go missing.
"I don't know, but you know him, right? You're gonna make it cheaper, aren't you? Well, I'll take care of you. I'm hungry ~"
Myol lifts her hand with a full smile. I can't seem to stand hunger.
"Mm. Thank you for using. Then I'll show you" No "."
The man with the mouthcloth and Myol just walked inside.
"Are you okay...?
I don't feel hostile. But for some reason, he was the one who saw Mami as an enemy.
"Hmm... Mercenaries are people who can break those parts off..."
Belgrette also answers slightly more complicated.
Anyway, I'm tired, and looking for another inn from now on is bone.
Perhaps there is no problem more than the fact that Myol really went in to spot people's malice as' color '.
Lifeguard and Belgrette nodded at each other and decided to go inside. No matter, be alert.
That's after ten o'clock at night. It was a late dinner.
The man in the mouthcloth is in a crisp motion, stunning through the crowded store. The first time it worked was precisely the deadbeat waiter itself. It really seemed like the clerk of this inn... or the one here.
... staring sharply, the man brought in meat dishes he hadn't asked for.
"It's a sign of apology. No charge. I want you to have it."
"Huh? Ah, ha..."
I don't know what meat it is, but a rare steak that looks fancy. It also has fat on it and emits a colorful texture in the light of the candlestick. It doesn't seem cheap.
"Ugh, yummy! Come on, come on, come on!
Myol, unaware of the circumstances, does not hesitate to start chewing. You mean at least this man isn't 'black' because of his lack of vigilance? As he sidelined the appearance, Lifeguard spoke to the man.
"No, we don't even know each other's names yet..."
"Mm-hmm. You did. I..."
"Huh!? You know him, don't you? It's weird that you don't even know his name. Oh, I'm Myol Felstrem. Nice to meet you, clerk."
Liquid shield and Belgrette, respectively, shall be named.
"... that? I heard your name."
"... I am Gonder Shrimp Seal, the Misty Ice Mage. I don't mind a gonder."
"That's right, I remember. You said something about a fog ice magician when you were fighting me. Two names or something?
"No. Having objectively analyzed my powers, I have made my own name for myself."
It was just a self-proclaimed.
"This is my home, or... By returning, did the mercenary quit?
I ask, looking across the inn, united in slightly diluted red, although not as much as in the lobby.
"No. The heavenly banquet is near, so I'm just back."
Gonder also answered with a gaze around the crowded store.
"If it is time to refrain from the heavenly banquet, each inn in the capital will overflow with the upcoming chanter Mage and the audience. It's time to write it down, so I'm going to go home and help out as much as I can."
So the magician of fog ice turned his thin eyes to the drifting guardians,
"Didn't you also visit with the intention of attending the martial arts festival?
"No, you're not answering. I just came here for something else..."
"I'm coming out!
Myol raised his hand well, but Gonder looked baffled.
"Mm. A woman like you is at a heavenly banquet..."
"Mmm. Even if it looks like this, I'm confident there!
You thought it was negligible that it was a woman, Myol hoisted her eyebrows.
"No, I don't doubt your skill. Even if you take one of the maneuvers applied to that cape, you can peek at the high skill."
but Gonder separated the words,
"This heavenly banquet, the demon warrior" Maygus "guys are going to be there. So it's not much to recommend."
"Magician" Maygas "......!
It was Belgrette who reacted to the words.
"What do you know, Belle?"
"Hey, what? What the hell?"
As a matter of course, Myol doesn't seem to know. Explained by Belgrette with a strange face.
"Five years ago, there was a terrorist attack in the Wang capital. The executioners named themselves" Maygus, "the magician. A group of chanteers, Maggie, said they came from a distant southern land. The Dean of the Academy suppressed Lugo, as you know."
Lifeguard nods silently.
About the terrorist attack five years ago. The work of Dean Nastadio, who calmed it down. It's been a story I've heard more than once.
"There are going to be many victims, it's a tragic incident... but they say if the Dean hadn't responded, it would have been more tragic. Indeed, the absence of the Silver Legion Troop Silvalios is one of the reasons. But more than that, the magicians Maygus were powerful."
In parts of the far south, those who are confident in power have put in the meaning of "I am better than the chanter Mage" and have named me the magician Magus for the purpose of differentiating.
It must have been its pride, and they were troublesome people dealing with the powerful divine chant Oracle, but notably its' ferocity '. If you don't have any forgiveness for women and children, and you realize defeat, even if you planted the Divine Chant bomb Oracle Bomb on yourself, you aim to strike a match.
"In that sense...... one might even say that the norstación ahead was gentlemanly"
In the wake of such talk of Belgrette, Myol let her cheeks pull like she was barometric.
"Ha-ha-ha... They're like a grand raging crowd in the King's Capital..."
"Mm-hmm. Sure. The magicians" Maygus "have already stayed in the city, but they can't even say they're good at rhetoric."
But the Misty Ice Mage laughs huffy.
"Especially if I'm going to remind them at the heavenly banquet. He said that if the ungrateful leftovers accompany him, he will feel miserable."
"That... are you leaving, Heavenly Banquet"
"If you're the man who lives in this refeit, many people dream of competing from childhood. I've gained experience as a mercenary, too. I'm going to try this one for the first time. Are you sure you can't compete like that? With all those arms."
"No, well, I..."
It sounds kind of awesome if it's just the name Heavenly Boom Feast, but it's finally Battle Royal.
Sure, the rewards are fascinating, and it's not like I'm not interested at all.
But I'm still not willing to stand in Myol's way, and I won't be able to get out any more than Belgrette has stabbed me with a nail. Current drift protection is not just a boy. He's a soldier.
"So the clerk and I are the prospective contestants, and you're already in the middle of a competition. Ha!? This dish is filled with strange things or something......!?
Gonder laughs, "Mmm, did you have that hand," at Myol, who says unceasingly how to eat. Looks like a man with a sense of humor inside.
So I said from the kitchen, "How long have you been selling oil, Gonder, get to work!" and a mighty drink sounded, and the Misty Ice Mage rushed back to work.
An inn with an unusual interior that is neither Japanese nor western.
Japanese-style futons of fun are laid on a completely decorative, boneless iron bed, for example. The window has a white thin curtain like a handicap on it, but it's not a drawer but a kannon opening. In the morning, if you fall asleep and try to open it, don't break it. I am convinced of this.
I don't know - both the streets and this room had the impression that 'the wrong Japan imagined by foreigners who like Japan' was made a reality.
That's how I encouraged the stretch before I went to bed, and the door was knocked modestly.
"Lugo, are you there?
"Whoa, go ahead."
Belgrette, reluctantly opening the door, peeks into his face.
"Thought I'd make up my mind about tomorrow."
"Right...... well, stand talkin 'is what, come on in"
"Mmm... sorry to bother you..."
It was Belgrette showing a slightly hesitant bare gesture, but she comes in as a snack.
... Time's up. Already at 11: 30. Mr. Claria would be pissed off by the heat, saying, "It's not time to deal with your lords."
"Tomorrow first thing in the morning, we'll go to the castle and hand over the documents to Director Chimohay"
"Oops......"
Complete the mission first. And...
Some of the Myols I accompanied spoke to me in a nostalgic way, and I didn't have much time to think about it.
(... "The Witch of the Divine Domain"...?)
Without a doubt, a man from my hometown who strayed from Japan. Other than drift protection and doctors, Japanese. When I finally saw him, I was so nervous.
"... oh, I remember in the Doctor"
"Hmm?"
"Does Dr. Locke know about this refeit?
…… What do you mean? "
The flow protection was briefly explained.
Lefe - That the streets of the capital city of Byakrak are somewhere similar to the old Japan. If the Doctor knew about the refeit, he would still recognize it the same way.
However, Dr Rock has never told me anything like "There is a Japanese-style country next door" before.
"Ah... so Lugo, when I came to this city, things were not right"
"Oh, yeah. That's right. No, I'm surprised. Seriously."
"The Witch of the Divine Domain" appeared in this city, you'd be surprised.
I'm not talking about the Doctor the other day, but I felt it wasn't strange to have the illusion that that was what got me lost in the past world.
Rather, the theory that the Japanese were transferred to this refeit a long time ago and played a role in the development of culture is also likely to be fully considered.
"Dr. Locke... you may not know more about this city. At least you've never visited."
I've heard a little bit about drift protection, but the Doctor has had life-targeting experiences in the past, and it's still rare to leave the college. The other day, it was a rare example of this. It's the first time since Liquid Protection arrived.
Travelling by carriage is not guaranteed in the first place either. Even exorcised streets can't prevent malicious people - robbers, etc.
The Doctor is not a chancer "Mage" without powers like drift protection, and does not have the power to defeat threats. Going out involves danger in itself.
With those circumstances, Dr. Locke should know the name Lefe Witchcraft Shinto, but not even its detailed landscape, Belgrette guessed.
"The Doctor is a man of position, too, and yes, you can't go away. I think there are quite a few people who have visited other countries. Me too... this is the first time I've come to this city"
Bergrette tells him to sing as he stops by the window and looks out.
"That, is it?
"Yeah. When I was a kid, my family visited... because it was a more suburban, smaller city"
A voice that seeps nostalgia, yet seems lonely. I can't see the look on her face as she turns her back.
Do you recall? About that time. When I lost my brother.
"Then let's get some rest for tomorrow."
"Oh."
Lifeguard dropped off Belgrette and decided to put out Cantera's (somewhat similar to the lantern) fire and put it on the floor.
