Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
373. Purple Flames and Ethereal Butterflies
"I knew you couldn't. I'm sorry, sir, but that's all I can carry."
That was what the carriage owner said and threw the spoon after an early evening when the sun was about to tilt.
Approximately six hours after leaving Midir College.
The carriage carrying Lifeguard and Belgrette arrived at a small village secluded in the mountains.
There is also more snow than ever, about twenty centimetres in sight. On the roof and exterior walls of the building, there was also a white mass like a giant cream topped with it. If Sakuragiri saw it, he'd say, "I'm not going in while it's loaded," but as a driftshield, I've never seen so much snow outside of TV. The same is true of Belgrette, who rarely looks around.
They say there's a city ahead of them over one mountain, but now they're on their way. It's nighttime around plugged in the middle belly. Nothing but suicide, such as going to a dark snow mountain.
So we're staying overnight in this village today.
Something bothered me a little, and a word came out when my lord who was heading back to the village liquor store was the line ahead.
"Hey, that's it?
"Meaning as words say. Sorry, but I can't go any further"
"No, no, why!? Come this far. That's a little...!
Naturally, I eat drift protection.
"I'll send anything home. Fees are fine."
The man with a bitter face said it without hesitation.
"Yeah!? No, I have trouble getting back..."
"Until we got here, I thought the sky was suspicious. So I went to talk to him... and he said it would be rough this year. So, just yesterday, the street ahead was blocked by the avalanche Yukiku."
"Um, you know what? Is there no other way?
"Of course this is just the shortest road, if you take a detour, you can go. It's... a little unrealistic. East can't do it because there's no way from the start. So naturally it's a wack to go from the west side... anyway, there should be just as much snow around here now. I was going to pull it out. It's blocking the way ahead, what a possibility. Maybe it's still better if there's just no way. If you're unlucky, a chunk of snow could collapse and be swallowed up on the way through. Honestly, I don't even know how many days it will take to get to Halshwart. Maybe in January."
"There it is..."
While doing this, Lenore is being pursued as a sinner. I can't spend a month just arriving.
"The tavern was full of similarly stuck people. I guess the choice is to go back, detour, wait a while, or somehow get some snow. Honestly, isn't it tough to go now? Oh, my God, maybe Cure Renaissance is really mad."
"? What do you mean?
Cure Renaissance is the name of a goddess who supposedly presides over ice and snow in this world. I had the impression that Lenore, the user of the ice attribute, had often spoken in a fold of greeting.
"No, I heard chills in the tavern... Anyway, I hear there's been some sinners in Badalnoise who've been chasing us lately."
An unexpected statement. Liquid protection and Belgrette breathe at the same time. I don't think so.
"I don't know much about it, but Cure Renaissance is a goddess when it pisses me off. You've heard about The Embrace of Death (Grussambles). This time too, isn't that a precursor to that happening? I don't know, it's time to go north in the first place, maybe you should give up. I don't know what you're doing, but it won't be long before it's warm and the snow's gone."
"No, that's not why..."
"Right. Fine with that, but hit the other side of the leg. I'm sorry, but I've decided to move on."
When he concluded that, he returned two-thirds of the advance he had already paid to the hands of the drift guard and went to his carriage, "I'm sorry," he said. In this case, you can't push or pull.
"Mmm, no, you're here... What do we do, Belle?"
I'll turn to the girl knight next door for judgment as I drop him off.
"Right...... Ugh, kushu!
What a lovely sneeze. I'll sneeze like an old man. I wonder where the difference is with Mia.
"Ha. Should I just warm up? Let's go to the tavern. It's a good evening. If it's sardines."
"Mm-hmm."
Neither from either side, they were two people walking out as they stepped on a white earth with bad scaffolding.
- It's old-fashioned wooden architecture, and interesting taverns like that.
Taking into account the weight of snow accumulating on the roof, the indoor columns are thick as gassilli.
The store is also bigger than I've seen from the outside, but the fireplace placed in the corner is big anyway, rocking the prestigious flames. Because of that, the warmth of a world apart from the outside was full.
"Ugh, there it is. I don't need a jacket."
"Really..."
The two men who took their seats took off their jackets, which they had also done, and put them on the back of their chairs.
"Hello! Nos Capra soup is great this time of year! Your body will warm up! Look, what else do you want?
A well-deserved middle-aged woman asks, laughing luxuriously as she comes. I don't even know what Nos Capra soup and do-it-yourself are as a drip shield, but they already have that menu in their order. The most interworldly restaurants are such a mess everywhere.
I asked him appropriately first and looked inside the store again.
"There's more people than I thought."
Shortly after we arrived we thought it was a small settlement, but in the first place this is a village on the passage to the northwest. Many travellers and caravans also seem to stop by, and are very busy with armed adventurers and groups of merchant-like people.
I heard a little bit of suspicious shouting from the nearby seats as to whether the evening was already in the booze.
"Hey, what are you gonna do? You can't be stuck here for days. Even the boarding house is foolish."
Group seats on the other side, across the aisle just beside you. There, four men in front of piled plates and empty liquor bottles were poking their difficult faces at each other.
Again, it looks like a line about to cross the mountain, just like the drift guards.
"Then, yes. I knew I'd have to go with that hand... I guess."
Another man who mysteriously roared,
"Whoa, you two just came in there!
I've been calling on the drift guards over the aisle.
When aligned and turned to his face, the man's gaze nails Belgrette. The mood is, "What is this good woman!?" or something like that? It's like time has stopped. My mouth is also half open.
Then he returns to me and sees the shield as if it were his last. And a surprisingly narrow eye area. "So, what is this plain lad? A slave or something?" I could almost hear my heart like that. Well, you'd think so in my other position, and the drift protection laughed bitterly in my chest.
A refocused man finally opens his mouth.
"Uh... you too, you're going to go over the mountains ahead, aren't you?
"Ha, well..."
The man's eyes are fixed on Belgrette, even though the drift guard answers.
"I'm sorry to hear that... but what are your attributes? Can't you use the art of fire or water?
"... if you don't mind asking me why I ask you such questions first?
Belgrette's voice is slightly lower to return so.
Naturally. What you attribute is one important piece of information for the chanter Mage. When it comes to modern Japanese style, it is equivalent to personal information. I don't know if I can trust you, I don't even know if you're an enemy or an ally in the first place, there's no reason to teach stupid honesty.
According to the individualist ideology, these tendencies were stronger for the faithful.
It is precisely in the case of Belgrette that it applies to one of the conditions under which the man has been asking. Vigilance was more than inevitable than knowing what kind of trouble it would involve.
"Ooh... No, the mountain road ahead is blocked by an avalanche. I know... right? So, most of the adventurers and merchants who are in this store right now, they're stuck under the influence of that. Including us, of course."
And the number of them that are in the store shall go up to about twenty. It's a form where two people, Drift Protection and Belgrette, joined in.
"It takes too long to get around. This is practically the only decent path. Waiting doesn't make things any better. Otherwise, we'll just have to do something and get the snow out of here."
"! No way......"
Bergrette seemed to have guessed early, and the man laughed nicely as well.
"Have you noticed? Combine the power of the Flame and Water Operator to create massive amounts of hot water. Dimensions to blow him to the snow and melt him sappy!
Just a unique idea for the fantasy world. I think so, while Lifeguard uttered a fuzzy question.
"Can't you just melt it directly with flames?
Even if you don't bother to turn it into hot water, you're going to be able to expect the same result just because the flame user releases the surgery. The divine chant Oracle and the unrelated boy simply think so.
Then the man said with a mouthful that seeped a sense of superiority, turning away from his favourable attitude towards Belgrette.
"Ha, not yet, brother? Even with the flame attribute on one bite, there are all kinds of guys. Not everyone is good at 'liberating' fire. But there's only one thing flame users have in common. Whatever the form, it means' I can produce heat '. It's more effective to warm something up and bump it with heat that everyone can use than to radiate flames that only some humans can use. What is the most effective way to heat and bump to dissolve the dodecai chunks of snow blocking the road? Of all the things that can be prepared at present, that's what makes it water. There are many users of water attributes here and now. You know what, boy?"
Talk hard, peek at Belgrette with chillies and sideways. He was a bit of a cock-sucker for what he looked down on and his appeal to the Girl Knight, but he was convinced he was fit for reason.
A man who at first glance has no philosophy whatsoever, but seems familiar with the divine chant Oracle for a long time - an arrowhead I thought,
"Come on, it's colare, isn't it all for sale by that red-haired brother? It sounds great."
"Haha, not at all. You didn't think about it."
Such a bittersweet chill flies from this man who drowned his high theory - his colleagues present with Corrale.
"Ugh, uh-huh. Shut up, you guys!... Anyway, if you guys can use flames or water, we've got more heads, and I thought it was time to move on to execution."
Contrary to his companions, Corrale explained that to the drift guardians.
"Was that such a story? If so, I wonder if I can help without extending it."
Belgrette said, Collare said, "Well, that's good!" and broke his face.
"Sister, is that it? That's a water attribute, isn't it?
"Yeah, that's right."
"See! I've never removed your attributes!
Collare laughs in a good mood.
(It's a choice of flame or water, so you can hit it in half)
When it came off, it came off, and I must have said something convenient. The moment the drift shield secretly became a tannic surface,
"Huh, so I'm not a different person. Too bad."
There was such a voice that broke in.
Liquidity and Belgrette, as well as Corrale and his companions, look to its origin.
It was a pair of men and women who came down the aisle.
"Ha, isn't that so? Too bad. Wow."
A woman who sighed that way was more beautiful in appearance, but definitely without a multiplier. The age would be around twenty. White, luminous skin with long blonde wavy hair. A luscious woman with a deep carved face and green eyes.
When it comes to winter, my skin tone exposure is dazzling despite this winter with a shorter yellow-green vest with a rounded navel and a brown ultra-mini leather skirt.
"Never mind."
Saying so and holding a woman's shoulder is a beautiful young man with a stern face. I still look twenty years old or there. The outfit was uniform with black travel outfits on both the top and bottom, characterised by a greasy, inverted short hair.
Collaret, who saw these two people, moaned awkwardly.
"Gu, is that Julie's sister? Oh, that's not what I'm talking about. The observation eye of my attribute is sometimes removed..."
"I'm sad... I'm not separated..."
Against a Julie woman who shakes everything deliberately,
"Never mind, Julie. This guy is a pit bastard with no eyes on a woman. The Spirit of Lugmiralma can't be in this world, like a guy who doesn't know how good you are when you lose his face. This guy has no choice but to be born a pig because he's a pathetic guy who's become a human being because of the mistakes of the craft gods. And Julie, I know how good you are. That's enough, isn't it?
"Ahem...... Sabel, nice......"
That's how the men and women who show up - Sabel and Julie exchange hot embraces.
(Somehow these people...)
As for drift protection, there is no response other than to face it.
He seems to know Kolare, who is stunned when Boroxo tells him to, or those fellows who are laughing, but if you try to protect him, it just looks like the mysterious couple who suddenly showed up flirted out.
All in all. Again, I noticed the face of this man and woman. The drift protection
(Mm, that...? These two, it's like I've seen them somewhere...?
I felt such a sense of visibility.
(It's my fault... I guess not. Before, somewhere...)
Staring seriously, the man who noticed his gaze - Sabel - returns a flashing grin.
"Whoa, what's up, boy? Is there something on my face?"
"Ah, oh. No..."
Panic to deny it. and there,
"Mm-hmm... Hey, boy. Haven't we met somewhere before?
The youth began to say that too.
"Oh, what? What's wrong, Sabel?"
Julie, with her arms around his neck, also alternates between drift protection and Belgrette. And
"Hmm? Sure... Especially the lady over here, you feel like you've seen it somewhere...? No, I definitely recognize you. Such a beautiful kid, something that isn't. Where did you see him...?
Growl about that.
Stray protection and Belgrette, Sabel and Julie's, odd stare lasts a few seconds. It was a wise girl knight who broke the adhesive.
"Um, you two...... maybe you weren't at the heavenly banquet at the refe?
Belgrette noticed first, naturally.
She was in the guest room watching that martial arts festival. By the giant blackwater mirror with the example wide monitor face loss, we would have seen many participants. No wonder I remember the Sabels that were included in it.
On the other hand, he was a drifter who was competing as one of the participants, but I don't remember running into these two. If so,
"Ah! Yes, I remember. It's a hospital. I saw it at the refe's hospital...!
detective who solved the mystery. If the drift guard says,
"Cheng Cheng, I thought of that too. I remember seeing you at that hospital with your daughter."
Sabel was roaring, too, like she was good at it.
Shortly after the heavenly banquet. Each hospital in the capital, Byakrak, is ruined by wounded participants.
As a refeit, even its medical expenses are expected to be a source of income for the martial arts festival.
Lifeguard herself, painstakingly winning is what has decorated her, but she has been forced to stay in the hospital for a while. That's when I saw Sabel and Julie coming to the same hospital.
Each of the four finished introducing themselves to the
"But I can't believe you're the winner, Lugo Aliumi. I heard you won out without using the technique, so I thought it would be extravagant..."
Sabel turns an interesting eye.
"Ha. Like surprised you with a plain little one?
I've been coming to this world for over six months. Come on, I'm also used to being seen as heretical. It was drifting protection that led the way with often said sentiments,
"No. I don't know how to say this... but I can feel the power of not knowing if I should call it full of energy from you. If they say they took control of the martial arts festival, there's just something to be convinced of."
The eyes and mouthfeel of the young man with red and black hair were serious themselves, and the drifting guard nodded "Oh, that's right". This is probably the first time I've been evaluated like this.
"I'm sure I can see Sabel's eyes. You can be more proud than you've ever been able to control a heavenly banquet."
"Come on, Julie, you can light it."
"It's nice to have a humble sabel too......!
That's how two people start flirting in the middle of the aisle, without even looking at each other.
"Oh, uh"
It was Belgrette who raised his voice there.
"These acts in front of the public..."
She is a noble lady with a serious and harsh sense of chastity. He blushed faintly, but cautioned.
"Whoa, sman, this guy's rude"
"So, what happened to Sabel's husband? Is it time to decide?
Collaret, who has a cheek wand in his seat, also asks in a scowling voice.
"Hmm, right"
He held Julie's shoulder back, and suggested as he had changed it.
"In the meantime, do you think I'll just try tomorrow? As I just explained to Choi, this Miss Belgrette is an excellent user of water attributes. You're impeccable as a manpower. Besides, we need to avoid falling down again while we wait like this and getting more snow. I want to sharpen it a little bit."
"Aye, roger. Somehow I'm about to break through in one tomorrow... I think I should get some rest early today to use my technique."
Collare and his line rise from their seats. On leaving,
"See you tomorrow, Miss Bellette. As far as I can tell, your brother has a good arm, but he looks like a tease."
Leaving such an extra word, he left the tavern with his buddies.
"Never mind, Lugo. The stronger he is, the more jealous he can be. I have experience, so I can tell."
Laughing that way, Sabel pulls her chair and comes to her seat as a matter of course.
"Hey, let me talk to you a little bit more. An unscrupulous brave man who won the heavenly banquet...... I was born into a man, but I'm interested."
In the eyes of such a flaming youth lived a pure brilliance, like a boy.
"Wow, this is already such a time..."
Such a blur of flowing protection can also be accompanied by white breath from the cold.
There's a thermostat fixed in one corner of the room, and I'm still roaring hard about this, but it doesn't seem to have enough power and it's cold indoors.
Taking a breath in the room to which he was addressed taking the inn, it was a good time when the date was already about to change. We talked about it, and it didn't take long.
Sabel Alhano of "Purple Phosphorous" Wisteride "and Julie Micheus of" Ethereal Leap Butterfly "Morpho".
They say they are treasure hunters who have come from afar, and they are rolling all over the place looking for treasures to sleep in ruins and ruins. They made me hear a lot about the previous turbulent adventure Tan (calling himself).
By the way, as far as the Heavenly Bombardment Feast is concerned, this is the first appearance, as is Liquid Protection.
An implicit understanding that takes place naturally at a stage where the remaining numbers have been narrowed down - he survived even at the start of the 'launch artillery fire', and even then he can see that he is quite handsome.
Sabel and Julie like that, but eventually they ran into a big man with an out-of-digit strength, and they said they were abruptly defeated. They've both been seriously injured in that fold, and their memories at the time are uncertain.
Belgrette, who was watching the game outside, said he had not seen the struggle, so it is believed that it was a settlement in the 'blind spot', which is not reflected in the mirror.
Sabel said, "I was totally ready to die then".
(From what I've heard, maybe the other guy is Enrokaku...)
The eighty-seventh and heavenly banquet, reputed to have been so fierce in recent years in the alley, was a monster that was obviously pulling out among them, Enrokak Stijje. The struggle was overwhelming, "it was almost just a massacre," the spectator said with his mouth shut.
I couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if I had stayed that way.
Whatever it was, I ran into that giant and 'I didn't die' alone, the world would admire it as top-notch enough.
Well, such leading treasure hunters Sabel and Julie - this time, even as they tried to head north carelessly, they were to eat a stop by avalanche here.
He stayed in this village for only a few days because it was not a quick journey, but because many others wanted to go north besides his thoughts, he launched the removal of snow by the divine chanting technique Oracle. The fact that there happened to be so many flame and water operators seemed to make it a policy to create hot water.
(Sounds like everything that a guy like that Collaret told Elassault was what Sabel said...)
For the record, when I called you 'Mr. Sabel', you told me not to. Me and you, I was told, but they got along so deeply in a matter of minutes after we met.
By the way, the Corale line and the Sabels were very close, but they just got to know each other here.
Somehow, a young man named Sabel may be a character that quickly shrinks distance from anyone. Are you accustomed to dealing with many people on long journeys, qualities that are not readily available for high-visibility drift protection?
(In the meantime, do you want to go to bed in preparation for tomorrow...)
Modern Japanese boys who cannot use the Divine Chant "Oracle" or the like are not available in these cases.
Nevertheless, it is a different world where we do not know when and what happens. It would be important to maintain an English spirit and keep it in perfect condition.
After finishing her preparations for tomorrow, she dived into a well-maintained bed and closed her eyes.
