Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
356. In the South
'... and for that reason. Lugo, head for the Jackroat.'
"Ha ha..."
The driftshield replied, bewildered, to the ripples of communications that drew multiple rings in the air, the voice of King Ardia echoing from beyond.
Claria, who is developing that communication technique, is listening to the interaction between the two with a boring face.
Located in the corner of the first floor of the Student Building, this is a private room for street protection.
Claria, who came all the way to the room to hold the conversation between the two on the king's orders, did not try to get in or out deeper than the entrance. Though she has been getting round lately, there is a harsh sister to a man. I can't admit I'm alone in my room with my lords! I guess that means.
The door is closed so that no one else will hear the communication due to King Aldia's immediate command, but the diagram of two people communicating with each other bars near a narrow entrance and exit is strange. If a third party saw it, they must wonder, "What are these guys doing?"
'I guess this will be my last job of the year. As soon as it's over, you can go on vacation.'
"Roger that..."
"What's up? Doesn't that bother you too much?
"Oh, no. I'm still not used to going somewhere I don't know... I feel anxious."
"Yeah, that's it?
"Huh? No, nothing... that's all."
"Hmm. After all, are you anxious to leave Ayaka behind and go away? Sounds like you're totally in Lugo's head, full of old ladies. What do you think, Claire? '
"Yeah, I think it would be a great pleasure. As soon as she wakes up, I was wondering if you could marry her. You look great."
"So! He's not like that!
These days, when it came to something, it was treated like this. I feel like I've been gripped by my weaknesses.
"Ha ha! Well, while you're away, have Shalom follow you by example. If you need anything, I'll let you know as soon as I can. You're the only one who's going to be entrusted with this job. The place is Jackroat, so if it's true, there's no Ate... but there's a situation. I know you're worried about Ayaka and you're worried about him.
"No, so I'm not..."
As a matter of fact, I am certainly worried.
If a colorful flower awakens while you are away. Or if anything happens. From the head of drift protection, such concerns will not disappear.
Nevertheless, I can't do anything if I'm caught there.
I decided to live in this world, and I came back of my own free will. I was distracted by all the colorful flowers, and I couldn't neglect anything else.
… to be precise, I have settled down to the point where I can think of it that way over time.
"Starting tomorrow in the Jackroat region, the goal is to crusade Fovirocle. I'll take it with care."
I'll do it, but he was a guerrilla with a rough nose and pleasant consent.
Only a few continental calendar 781 years remain.
The impending moon of such years is the nineteenth day.
A cold winter forest - at the corner of it, the sound of a heavy, dull fist blow rings. The crows, who remained on the branches where the leaves had fallen, flew in unison as if they had finished seeing through the settlement.
Shortly afterwards, it is the black giant beast with the furrows, about two and a half meters long, that is overthrown and trembles the earth.
"Shit."
Confirm that the subject has been silenced and take a residual motion.
While exhaling deeply, Arichi Shield looked down at his opponent, whom he had himself tailored. Long nails, small round face, protruding nose. He was a resentful demon, similar to a catfish, if you think with the knowledge of the earth, characterized by a long, black hair covering him and a slender body shape.
(The movement was not very catfish or anything...)
Extremely fierce and belligerent. And it was quick, tough. An overwhelmingly violent monster that wields even long-developed nails.
When I wipe my cheeks, a sticky red sticks to the back of my hand. Cheeks, arms, neck. There are no extra red lines running, and all the clothes are torn. The entire body of the fluid shield was full of scratches and scratches.
No measures, no small work, a head-on bump, but we managed to control it.
Category A, fovirocle. Commonly known as "Bowsoe", a torpedo claw.
As a resentful demon of the same rank, he is positioned at the lowest edge, but until he gets tired of it, his category is "A". This is an indicator that would otherwise require the operation of many skilled chanters, Mages and weapons.
This time, in crusading this fovirocle, the soldiers could not afford to have adequate personnel and weapons.
Then stood an arrow of white feathers in the shield.
The result is a successful single ride destruction. Guess the guerrillas are promising, something like that.
"Ugh..."
The exhaled breath fades white and dissolves into the cold sky.
That brings us to the end of this year's work. If you are so relieved, you will receive a footsteps stepping on the leaves from behind you. Looking back, the three soldiers dressed in silver armor were about to come.
"Ugh... did you do it, Lugo!?
One of the footsteps, such as a surprise - Carbolo Froslan, a familiar soldier since his first assignment, blacks and whites his eyes as he compares himself to a fallen black beast and drift protection.
"No way, really, just leave Fovirocle alone...?
Another young soldier, who was to work with exile protection for the first time, shook his head sideways with an incredible look.
"I doubted my eyes when the resentment demon's reaction disappeared... but I'm actually going to doubt my sanity this time in front of this sight..."
The youngest female soldier at the rear is also making her cheeks snap.
Though they are the regular soldiers of the kingdom, they cannot be fated against A-rank resentment demons without only three and proper arming. Even if I try to fight along with the shield, I'm more of a foot wrapper. That's why I had to accept the parade's unusual suggestion, "I'll do it alone, so you can wait in the rear."
As a result, the inherently unscrupulous task of crusading Category A grudges fovirocles with just four people was combined with successful completion without harm.
Did you bite that fact off, the accompanying young soldier groans with what a grumpy look.
"Actually, I... I've been writing a suicide note before I went on this assignment... I didn't know you'd make it home safely..."
"Ha ha! Good, the suicide note is in vain! So I told you I would be absolutely fine with Lugo -? Hey, Lew... you! You're all scratched up! Are you all right!?
Carrborough, who just realized, made a scene like he did.
"Oh... it's a scratch. I had more reach than I thought. Well, if this grudge demon just cashed in, but he doesn't have a bad poison or something, I don't think it's a problem for now."
"Ha, that's a dialogue I don't think you've dealt with Fovirocle...... I'll take it lightly for now. Get your arms out."
"Oh, you guys."
A female soldier caught up in treatment asks with a pulled smile on her face.
"Really, you have a tremendous muscle... Uh... your hometown... Nihon, is that it? Are there other users like you?
"No, I do think I might be a little special in my hometown..."
I didn't publish it in full, but once again, the guerrillas' memories are back. The country name 'Nihon' was also now known by a small number of people. It is, of course, the perception that it is somewhere further away than Raindeer.
"Really, I won without using the Divine Chant" Oracle "at all?
"Oh, yeah. Your talent is a tease, well."
And until I get bored, I'm supposed to be "extremely bad at handling" the Divine Chant "Oracle".
The fact that it does not possess the soul heart power Prarna as if it could not be used at all - such as surgery - remained lying low to avoid unnecessary confusion.
"Okay, anyway, work's done. Over! Ha! Let's go back to the city!
Once they did, and headed up the energetic Carrborough, the four of them began their journey towards the nearest city.
City of Jackroat. It is one of Raindeer's leading big cities, about four days south of Wang Du by carriage and beyond many mountains.
Going further south than here, the desolate earth, with nothing for a while (or more than a week by carriage), eventually leads to the vast desert known as' The Great Hot Sand of the South (Fornice Dute) ', he said. From there on forward, the current map of Raindeer has no description. It is not that there is no one at all who has set foot, but that it is officially treated as an untouched area, although it seems to lead to another country.
Due to its location, which can also be called the southernmost tip of Raindeer, the winter breeze blowing in this city was slightly warmer than it felt around the Wang capital.
Having handed over the handling of the tailored grievances to the local presence, and having completed his work, he strolled freely through the distant city he had visited because of it.
By the way, I'm staying overnight at this city inn today, and I plan to return early tomorrow morning.
"Yeah, yeah."
Cheeks fried vegetables purchased in an outdoor shop and walks relaxed on a lively sidewalk.
The landscape of the city is very different from that of the King's capital. Is the visible difference about the steep point when the slope provided on the roof of each house is done? This seems to be a structure to prevent sand flying from the south from depositing on the roof.
Carriage crossing the boulevard. Men who get into business at the store's end, wives who blossom into conversation at the well end. Kids rushing around fine.
A medieval western European-style city that has become perfectly normal. You're going to live the rest of your life - eventually you're going to bury a bone somewhere, a landscape of another world.
…………
Coming back to this world again, a month early and a little.
Speaking of not feeling homesick, it makes me lie. Thus, from time to time, I was driven by a sense of sadness, as I recall.
Are you really happy with this choice?
Home where you'll never be able to go back. Home. My room. People I'll never see again. Father Yuan. And
(Senior......)
Yuzu Miyahara, Karate Manager.
After returning to this other world and settling in a series of Gotagotas, Lifeguard has casually checked his cell phone.
Try turning it on, a few absence calls and one notification of a new email.
Before leaving, a reply from Teak, who unilaterally said goodbye, had arrived there.
"What the heck is going on?!? Isn't it too soon to go again? Did you see your father? You're not going back to school after all? I'll tear you all to pieces. Let's do this! I'd love to hear a lot more about it, but I wonder if Arihai has to decide... If you want to do something, work hard, and then come back. Mr. Belgrette is with me. I'm waiting for you, junior. Look forward to talking about souvenirs and stuff! Come on in!
Electronic letters scattered with colorful emoticons.
I can only thank my too understanding agility manager.
You'll never see me again, dear.
... and so much so that the face of a childhood friend that was supposed to be included in that classification comes to mind.
(... finally, that idiot...)
A girl named Lotus Castle Colorful Flowers, who has probably become an entanglement of metastasis.
I have been sleeping ever since I came to this world, but how can I wake up? I am worried about my health because I have been sleeping for a long time. When I woke up, I woke up. So, I have to explain this world. I have to tell you the reality that I can't go home anymore.
(Goddamn it, take care of it...)
While I think so, I am also certain that it is a delightful fact for exile protection that she was not included in 'People You'll Never See Again'.
"Uh, shit! Ooh!?
The moment I quickened my legs trying to distract myself from embarrassment, my shoulder hit someone. The opponent was a plain dressed girl wearing a burnt brown cape...
If it becomes a bump of drift protection, it is a power that blows even the great man in this world. Though I went to see her for a bit and hit her, I don't even have to think about what would happen to a luxurious woman. She flashly curled her buttocks. The basket that was wrapped around that thin arm will also be dropped, and the fruits and vegetables that were inside will be scattered over the cobblestone.
"Oh, wow! Are you all right! Sorry.........!
I'm gonna apologize in a hurry. It was a stray protection,
"No... it's okay, it's"
Speaking of the girl who sat up, she was as calm as any other HR.
Is it some servant? A burnt brown hood worn deep in the eyes, a black long skirt with a length to cover and conceal to the foot. With an outfit that eliminated flashfulness as if thoroughly, from what I saw puckered, I only peeked at the mouth without makeup, and the face barely even knew the length and color of my hair. From his voice, his age would not be so different from that of drift protection.
"No, seriously sorry......!
As he lays low on his head, Lifeguard picks up and collects the contents of the rolling basket.
"No problem."
"No, no, no, no! If you're hurt, I'll pay you back...!
My fall, which I hadn't looked closely at before, and Lifeguard took the initiative. Collect the rolling carrots and cabbages while the girl grabs the oranges and apples that were falling around her.
"Uh, wait, don't!
There was a passing dog twitching on the apple that had gone furthest with the corn. Drive it away, collect it, dust it off, put it in the basket.
"Hmm, you're missing a bit after all...... Um, I'll make amends..."
"No, I'm really fine. This is because it is the food of the livestock we keep. There's nothing wrong with dropping it."
"Oh, yeah?
"Yes, you've given away what's getting old and damaged, so it's not like people can eat it"
Refill all the food into the basket and the girl gets up. Then he put the hood on his back, which he was wearing deeply, and lowered his head with a pepper.
"Thank you for your carelessness and inconvenience."
As a girl, you thought it would be disrespectful to stay covered. Reveal your face and say thank you.
………………
On the other hand, the shield couldn't even return the greeting, just staring at the girl's face.
Because.
Beautiful girl, with a big audience. Though carving is never the deepest part, the girl impresses with her crisp double eyelids and saggy hair to her shoulders.
Black eyes and dark hair. Familiar skin color. Face shaping.
No matter where you look from,
"............, you know, maybe... japan, people...?
Because I only saw myself and the people in my hometown.
However,
"... what is it?
The familiar standing girl tilts her little neck just because she can't grasp the intent of drifting protection.
"No, uh... you're not Japanese, are you? You think so?"
"... I don't know what you mean."
The thought of a mistake brings a sickle.
Think about it, look at the girl and say, "Are you Japanese!?," but on the other hand, she hasn't seen such a reaction to drift protection since the beginning.
"Um... I asked you rudely even though we met for the first time. What's your name?
With a gruesome question, she answers without even a more alarming wind.
"Is that my name? My name is Kaede..."
"Cover,?
"Yes."
(............... you're serious)
I can no longer doubt it. Nothing was Japanese, there was a possibility that it was a race of East Asian descent, but from its name, it just seems to be a person of the same homeland. Instead, if you try to protect them, they are speaking 'Japanese', so you can only assume that they are no longer.
It's supposed to be, but her reaction at the time was too pale.
"Hey."
With all the confusion just increasing, voices flew from side to side in a way that blocked thoughts.
Across the street and right beside Caede, one young man stood when he noticed.
Seventeen or eight years old? This world-standard lean long body. No weird, chic brown-based plain clothes, but probably a luxury item. She looks a little sloppy, but she looks great on me.
Seems like a bit of a bad system to be wandering around the city at night. He was a man with sharp eyes, although he did not wear any ornaments at all.
Above all, it is characteristic that
(Blue)
Short, upside-down hair. And eyes. Both, waking rugged. Not blackened blue, like Bellette or Claire.
I wonder what that color is, but the shade suits this young man uncomfortably for some reason.
"Hey, little brother. What can I do for our maid?"
Kaed turns his eyes to the pale man who says so in a vigilant circle.
"Dear Leo..."
The young man, called Leo, broke in softly between the exile guardian and Caede. Just that natural movement,
(Ah. Quite a bit.)
I could see you were used to a fight.
Leo is the master of some wealthy house. Kaede is a woman who serves there. I guess that's the pattern. but
(Is that it? But even though it's a bong, I'm used to fighting...?
It also doesn't seem to mesh somewhere between water and oil. In this world, it's a misdemeanor.
Anyway,
"Oh no, I'm not anything suspicious mon..."
Then why were you asking Kaede his name?
"Um, Master Leo"
"I'm fine. Leave it to me, Kaede."
Things have been chaotic.
And there is a guerrilla, a street guardian who has the authority to act as a guardian of the law.
Finally, the moment came, and he took it out of his purse, and put it up.
"I'm like this, even if I look like this. Never suspicious."
Leo and Caede faintly open their eyes.
What Lifeguard showed like an imprint of a epoch was a crest indicating that he was a Raindeer soldier. A small, dark silver badge with a lion's face painted inside the shield. This is a sign that this country is an official soldier.
"A soldier? You?"
"That's it (Kiri)"
Yay! and Lifeguard posed all over himself as a gut inside.
Take out the badge and declare, "This is who I am" to put the place away. I wanted to try it for once, Detective. Dramatic development. That dream just came true here!
... should be.
"Right. A soldier can't easily snap a bullet or two."
"What?"
I'm done whirring my fists out. No, no, Leo wielded his right arm.
"Hey!?
Hook roaring in the sidetrack.
"Dear Leo!
"Stay back because it's dangerous, Kaede!
Whereas Leo, who is to be reassembled immediately,
"No, hey, wait a minute! What are you thinking, beating me up knowing they're soldiers?!?
He was a guerrilla trying to convince me to stop pushing,
"Can you get through that!
I didn't hesitate.
Right, left, and Leo's fist cuts the sky.
(Eh, I don't know how scared I am...!
Reflecting on drift protection while avoiding it. Maybe this young man, the son of a house of considerable power or something. For example, if you do something about one or two soldiers, you can solve it with money. There is also the sen from the beautiful outfit.
And then,
"Chip! You little grain bastard, don't run away from me!
"Whoops......!
Leo's fist, swinging, is sharp inside. It's like a snake that eats with suppleness.
(The orbit is hard to read and the arms are long. Flicker-flavored punch......)
I can hear that you are treading on quite a few occasions, even though it does not extend to sophisticated martial arts. He also has a heavenly reach. It's also lightweight.
(The chimps around here won't be dealing with you.)
Perhaps even around Edvin, he'll be knocked out in a beating without the Divine Chant "Oracle".
But right now, it's not the city's fight brags or outlaws this young man is dealing with. He is a karate handicapper and Arishi current shield.
"Don't be chocolate!
Take Leo's right fist, protruded straight out, with his left armor, and forward. The karate family enters the interior while crushing the intermission, gently launching the opponent's jaw in the right palm. Rather than beating him, it was an act like hitting him and pushing him in.
Like I lost my support, Leo's knees collapsed with a gutter.
"Dear Leo!
As Caede, who watches away, calls his name,
"Ku, na, what...,"
The person looked down at his body as he sat down with a face like he didn't know what had happened. I don't understand the phenomenon of concussion.
"Please, leave me alone, Bonbon's Oneesan."
I look down at my kneeling opponent, paying for my bread and my hands. Minutes of "Nabu," and a current shield.
"If you go on like this, you're gonna be framed for exposing yourself to something cool in front of your maid."
Short temper, is.
……
The surface of the succumbed Leo is slowly turned up. Blue Bi's eyes look out for drift protection from the bottom.
"Right. I can't show Kaede how unusual he is, can I just do it with the whole spirit? - I'm rolling."
Bounced.
The shield. In the rear, I didn't fly backstage much.
………………
That's like the first time I've noticed it after I've fallen back. It was an inexplicable behavior.
(Come on, when...?
Faster than you think. I was reflexively away from Leo, like I had touched burnt iron.
"Heh. That's a good idea, a kid who calls himself a soldier. You mean you noticed, Huff. I'm scared."
With an invincible grin, the Ethereal Man rises -
"And!? Oh!? What's going on, I'm not listening to my knees......!
I couldn't.
Leo hasn't gotten back from a concussion yet. My hands on the ground, and my knee, which I am trying to force, is gushing and trembling.
There are gaps. There are no more fights. Liquid shield can inflict as many attacks as you like and knock this opponent over.
Should be, but
……
I couldn't get close.
(This guy, what...? I don't know what it is, but it feels yay...)
In this cold, an unpleasant sweat seeped inside the gripping palm. I realize my goosebumps are floating.
I remember that time when I first encountered Dean of Nastudio.
The alarm that instincts sound when you put an extremely dangerous opponent in front of you.
"Damn, hey little prick call yourself a soldier...... what the fuck did you do, god chant" Oracle "!? Wet, face demon! My feet trembled and I stood..."
"Dear Leo!
It was Kaede who made the move.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Leo swung his clothes in troubles and began to talk with his gaze on the protection.
"Kaede, stay back! Don't worry about me. This level of adversity, I'd rather roll. From here on out, let me decide on a magnificent reversal of all the Geisserius -"
"Listen to people"
Goh.
A flying knee kick to the brilliance unleashed by Caede hit Leo's side of the head directly.
The pale man, who was talking to Bella Bella like he was disturbed somehow, falls into the cobblestone like he was thrown out, leaving a groan of "woom..." and rolls.
………………
The only thing that became abrupt was drift protection. All over the city, the wild horses that were in sight on the far roll were also solidifying. If it was the maid who suddenly jumped in who put an end to it, it would be an impossible story.
Of the stopping time, the only plain Caede comes with Stasta until he is in front of the drift shelter and bows his head honestly.
"My Lord has caused you great trouble"
"... ah, ha... thank you very much"
He bowed his head in the same way while the drift shield was being flushed.
Yeah. It was a brilliant jumping knee. With that kind of admiration.
