Do You Think Someone Like You Can Defeat the Demon King?

In a rocking carriage, the three of them had lunch on their cheeks: Flam, Milkit and Saila.

The soft, dusty white bread contains slices, painted with spicy sauce inside and pinched with vegetables and meat.

The sweetness of the bread itself made the spicy taste of the sauce mild, making it a friendly flavor even for children.

Before leaving Wang Capital, Milkit was up early to make it.

I wrapped it in paper and brought it for lunch.

"Oiiiiiifu"

Saila said, stuffed all over her mouth.

Looking at both her cheeks, which swelled a lot, Flam almost blew out unexpectedly.

"I'm glad you're happy"

"Milkit, you cooked too."

"It's not a big deal"

"I don't know, it's really delicious. This. You made the sauce from Ichi, didn't you?

"Well, that's true..."

I guess that culinary arm is a skill cultivated as a slave.

Flam can cook too, but this looks like a medium arm.

I wonder what you're using, if I don't hear the recipe next time...... and I'll hit the bread with a serious look.

"Speaking of which, what kind of town is Enicide?"

"Hinagi Hinagi"

"Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

When Flam laughed and cautioned her, she swayed her cheeks and chewed them with bread and swallowed them all at once.

It's something that's going to get stuck in your throat, but I won't show you any such bareback.

Flam was also damaged by one person, saying this was his youth.

"Ngu... it sounds like a hell of a country town, it used to be moistened with medicinal herbs"

"Even before, before we were born, right? It must have been after the Demon War."

The Demon War happened 30 years ago.

One day, suddenly, the demons attacked to take human territory.

The Royal Army stood up to prevent it, and although it was badly damaged, it succeeded in retreating.

The battle also involves the ecclesiastical priests, and with its merits, the Church has come to have a strong influence over the kingdom - that is.

It is true that Originism was the greatest force of religion in the kingdom, but at that time there were still people who believed in other religions.

But then, 30 years later, there is now little non-Original church within the kingdom.

"I don't know why you hate herbs so much."

"Even in church, don't you tell me why?

"The church says," Taking medication weakens faith, "or" restorative magic works, "but you can't believe that... still, some kids believe that."

If they teach you that since you were a kid, there will be kids out there who will believe you.

Saila didn't seem to be - but when the carriage rocks, her body leans about as well.

Flam noticed behind her neck like that, a strange blue tattoo.

"Hey, Saila, what's the one behind that neck?

"Oh, is that it?"

Saila explained as she touched it at her fingertips.

"Your hometown... it's gone now, but I hear you believed in a god who wasn't the Origin. My parents were enthusiastic believers, so I carved a sign of faith in those who were still little. This doesn't disappear because you use a special paint, so keep it up."

Is a special paint similar to the one painted on the mark of Flam's slave?

But now I don't know there's any more home - I wasn't sure if it was something I could ask, but Saila told me herself.

"By the way, your hometown was destroyed by the Demons. Eight years ago, you were two years old, so I barely remember it."

She laughs powerless.

"That Marie-san was the same. So maybe he adored you."

"Maria too..."

I never told her about each other's circumstances, so I didn't even know Fram had such circumstances.

Things were strange before the Demons because there was a grudge that destroyed their homeland.

After a moment, Maria may have been the one who had stronger thoughts on his crusade to the Demon King than anyone else.

From her like that, there would have been nothing but the presence of a flam that could not be fought at all and to no avail whatsoever but in the way.

"Even now, the Demons are repeatedly destroying human territory."

"Oh, you still do?

"There's not much information on the table, but there's a lot of crushed towns in the countryside."

Even the Wang du newspaper should not have published such information, which means that only the Church humans will know about it.

Sayin 'where the herbs are, Saila doesn't seem convinced by the church's current policy.

"Fortunately, it seems like not one of the dead is out, but it's never gonna be forgivable! Hey, if I find the Demons, I'll make sure they take them down!

Saila intensifies her vocabulary.

I don't remember my hometown being destroyed, but hatred is certainly engraved?

The demons, who continue their destructive activities with impunity after the demonic war, and Saira, who is angry at them, also know exactly how Flam feels - but it's a strange story, he tilted his neck.

I wonder why not one of the dead has come out.

Fram has seen the strength of the Three Demons with his own eyes.

With that power, all residents, such as small towns in the countryside, should be transformed into an ocean of fire in an instant.

... because you don't feel like it?

I can't put that hypothesis into words with dignity in front of Saila, who was destroyed in her hometown.

But if so, who the hell is really bad?

"But before you do, you have to be strong enough to win when you meet the Demons."

"Speaking of which, we had caught those thieves light, how strong is Lady Saila?"

"Fram, it's okay with you. You're itchy."

"That's not how..."

"Saila hates you, so do that for her."

"... if your husband says so. So, Mr. Saila,"

When Milkit put it again, Saila nodded satisfactorily, "Yeah, yeah," and then bit him in the bread.

"Suhiko, come on."

"Wow, I get it......" Scan ""

It was last night that she was able to use the scan.

It took me one night to teach that reading and writing had fallen behind, but that there would be many opportunities to use something.

The first exercise of magic meant that Milkit was somewhat in shape.

That said, a scan that doesn't even require fine control is an easy magic to use for children.

Once you even get the hang of it, even a clumsy person can use it.

"I don't think I can do anything about it," she said confidently, taking only about an hour to be able to use it.

Having learned how to handle the scan, she had checked the status of the flam and her gear many times, looking hazy.

And then a few hours to teach you the meaning of the letters displayed and the approximation of the numbers.

I even just gave a brief description of the words and numbers, but Milkit seemed to have fun all the time, and Flam was smiling naturally when he saw her like that too.

A mill kit that stares at the letters and information that appear in your sight.

When I saw her in a whimsical mood, I put my hands on my mouth and chuckled, Flam also decided to check on Saila's status just in case.

--------------------

Saila Ambilen

Attribute: Light

Muscle strength: 285

Magic Power: 301

Health: 123

Agility: 227

Sense: 133

--------------------

And surprised.

I was wondering if this was a 10-year-old status.

The total value is 1069, the strength of the lowest C-rank in terms of adventurers.

There are still stretching bills due to my age.

Perhaps some likeability is allowed because the Church recognizes her talent.

Flam, anxious for a higher status than he thought, hurried to scan the crest floating in his palm and the hand he placed beside him to check his status.

--------------------

Name: Zweihander of Soul Eating

Quality: Epic

[This gear reduces your muscle strength by 320]

[This Gear Reduces Your Magic Power by 99]

[This Gear Reduces Your Health by 297]

[This Gear Reduces Your Agility by 183]

[This equipment reduces your senses by 111]

[This equipment melts your flesh]

--------------------

--------------------

Name: Blood Painted Steel Gauntlet

Quality: Rare

[This gear reduces your muscle strength by 82]

[This Gear Reduces Your Magic Power by 101]

--------------------

The total value is 1193 - I'm fine, I haven't lost yet, and I grate my chest.

The soul eater was probably the effect of killing Anzu, reinforcing the curse slightly but increasing in decreasing value.

Nevertheless, the fluctuations were very slight.

To want a bigger stat rise, you have to slash tons of monsters.

The speed is subtle when it comes to keeping pace with the growth rate of the talented Sailor.

I'm not competing for anything else.

So there shouldn't be a rush, but I want to be respected by her like a sister, rather than being what she became known as "Hey.”

"The clothes you two are wearing are of common quality, especially without enchantment."

Saila said as she scanned the two clothes.

Common quality equipment is not endowed with an enchant.

In other words, it is a very ordinary tool.

"If you don't mind the design, you can buy clothes about rare, just like that."

"Sure, well-designed, high-performance clothes are a little out of hand."

What is most “common” is the quality as equipment, which cannot be seen on scans until it is good or bad as clothing.

"And you look like pretty clothes, Fram. Oi's... This is how you look like you're going to look like a child when you wear them."

Saila looked at her developing hands and feet and dropped disappointingly.

But soon he will come back and praise Milkit for his clothes.

"But I admire Milkit Oi's. You know, pretentious laces, ribbons on your chest, they're packed with cuteness. Sometimes I want to try it on."

"Milkit chose this for himself. You look really good, you mean you can just see it every day and be happy"

"I know, I want one of us"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

That said, Flam holds Milkit's arm close.

To the admiration of the two, the unfamiliar mill kit got embarrassed and leaned down.

"... Your husbands, are you possibly making fun of me?

"Ha-ha-ha, did you find out?

"Hey, Milkit, you're sharp."

"He's our proud maid?

"Say that again, already..."

She swells her cheeks.

The change in expression was well understood, even over the bandage.

Including such tricks, Flam is starting to think of her as honestly cute.

And Milkit, too, soon to be praised, became honestly receptive to the part where he self-denied that “that's not possible”, albeit slightly “glad”.

It's no different than embarrassing.

A few days, but the time we've lived together has definitely narrowed the distance between the two.

"Really, I admire you"

Saila said as she looked at the two of them for fun.

What floats behind my brain is the figure of Maria, who was my own sister's replacement.

I haven't seen him much lately.

The loneliness seemed to come back when I looked at the sisters like Fram and Milkit.

◇ ◇ ◇

Time to travel in a boring carriage also passes quickly when the three of us are talking.

Overnight in the town at the relay point, tongue drumming at your local specialty and boarding the carriage again the next morning.

Depending on the weather, the roads and the condition of the horses it was also contemplated to stay another night, but within that night it had arrived at its destination - Enicide.

When the carriage unloads the three, it travels to another town.

The next carriage will be here in three days.

If we hadn't finished collecting the medicinal herbs by then, we'd have another free day to pick them up, but it would be just over by then.

The three men who stepped down to the town stood up when they saw the sight spreading in front of them.

Sure, there are a number of private houses lined up, but one of these days the lights are on to the point of being counted.

It seems that the main street with one street lamp is almost enclosed in darkness and needs to be illuminated with canteras set aside for cave exploration in order to proceed.

"People really live here, don't they?"

"Maybe there's only a few dozen more."

"Is there an inn in such a place?"

Every town should have a place to stay.

Believe it or not, you never find an inn, and there are no people to visit the road.

In some cases, should we also consider asking the residents of the town to stay?

Or Nojuku in view as well - when such an idea crossed the back of your brain,

"Isn't that it?

Milkit discovered a sign that looked like a lodging house.

But it's dark in the building and the entrance is locked.

When the flam draws the light of Cantera closer to the door, there is a torn sticker everywhere.

She read out the text as it was.

"'If you are visiting our inn, please let us know to the stude of the house next door'... I wonder if it's usually not open unless someone comes"

"Is that all you're saying about customers not coming?"

"It was busy when the herbs were picked, and it was kind of sad to think that this happened because of the church..."

The three of them felt somewhat annoyed, but could only be immersed in sentiment here.

Quickly, he visited the private house next door with Flam at the head and rang the front door bell as Karan Karan.

Then from inside, a sleepy fat middle-aged man appeared.

Looks like he's the stude.

When Flam told him he wanted to "use the inn," he was surprised "how many years has it been?"

A row that makes me anxious at once.

But he said the cleaning was decent, and when he actually got inside to unlock the inn, it was certainly beautiful for the price.

Out of several rooms, a double room is chosen and the flam receives the key from the stude.

"I don't serve meals anymore, it's just that the cooking room should be alive, so use it if you're going to cook"

"Are you on your own?

"Oh, because rarely does anyone use it anyway, do as you please. Ingredients can be bought in boulevard stores, and you can eat out in stores that are once, but near them. If you have any more problems, you should come to the house next door. If you can deal with it, deal with it, and if you can't, you can have it moved to another room, and you can have it."

What a throwing explanation, Stade walked away.

The Flams often gazed behind him, but that's the kind of place this is, I can't help thinking deeply about it.

Safe, I found a place to stay under the roof, and decided to be happy with it for a start.

Upon entering the room, Fram and Saila placed their luggage in the corner with the sleaze.

And the two of us face each other in front of the bed, nodding at each other, gently aiding towards the bed - hands up, jumping from face to face into the bed.

Boo-hoo!

……

Milkit stood alone and watched the strange ritual.

But Fram remains buried in bed, slapping directly beside himself to invite her.

“You can jump in, too," you want to say.

You can't disobey orders from the Lord.

Milkit gently aided and modestly jumped into bed.

I don't know, but it's a little fun.

"… what does this mean"

Millkit asks with his face sinking in the bed.

"If you see a fuzzy bed, you want to jump in, don't you?

"Become."

"I mean, that's what I mean."

"Ha..."

In the end, I remained unsure.

Well, if it's fun, you don't need a reason or anything, Milkitt concluded.

After that, the three of them often welcomed each other when they got up and took the bread out of their luggage when their little stomach was empty - this is a plain bread with nothing pinched in it in particular - but it turned it into dinner.

When I realized I couldn't use the inn bath and talked to Stude, I talked to him about using the house bath and renting a bath in the private house next door.

Saila stretched her back and said, "I'm gonna talk about love! Even if I say," I don't have any romantic experience with all of them, so I can end up not spreading the word.

There have been several events since then, but also fatigue from the journey in the carriage, and the three of them fell asleep in the early hours, on the same bed, in the letter of the river.

Shortly before bed, it goes without saying that Flam forcefully put the mill kit to bed, which insists, "I'm fine with the floor".

◇ ◇ ◇

And the next morning, Flam said, "Wake up!" was woken up by the noisy voice of Saila.

It seems that Church Guru's girlfriend has a regular life from time to time, and she wakes up very quickly.

The mill kit also seems to be stained with early waking, and it becomes a flam to stay until the end of the day.

When she woke up scrubbing her sleeping eyes, she quickly rolled out.

To procure today's food at the street store and gather information.

Unlike last night, the Enicide township you see in the bright hours of the morning - looked even more lonely.

There were probably a lot of shops lined up on Main Street before.

But now there is no shadow to see.

Because only the remnants of it remain, it seems to look unnecessarily obsolete.

The three of them searched for a store that was open and proceeded slightly looking around.

What I found first was a store where Stude said he could eat out.

The building itself was worn out, but the interior of the store is relatively beautiful and is likely to be expected to taste as well.

Moving on, I found a store with no lights on but lined with vegetables and some daily necessities.

Stepping into the store, I see an old lady sitting at the counter in the back, wearing glasses and somehow missing a book.

When she realizes the presence of the Flams,

"You're a customer from somewhere else, it's unusual."

I raised my voice.

Saila meets and rushes over lightly, turning a nostalgic smile.

"I'm from Wangdu!

"Heh, from Wang Du. And there's three unusual dressed girls? Sometimes this is unusual, even though I can't take any more herbs."

"I can't take it, but it's growing, right?

"Well, I suppose so, but no one will come near the cave where such a monster roams. If you're gonna go over there, don't do it. It's not a nice place."

The old lady said so abominably.

Now Fram approaches and asks.

"What kind of guy exactly is a monster?

"I don't know, because I didn't see it in person. Isn't everyone dead that I've seen? But there were dozens of adventurers in for herbs just like you, but I've never heard of them coming back."

"Nobody, is it?

"Oh, without exception. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I gave you some advice, but by now you're probably dead..."

An old woman who says with a distant eye.

The Flams unwittingly silenced her before saying it out with some certainty.

Not a monster, a monster.

We seem to have to find out with our own eyes what the hell exists in the cave.

Purchase food at the store and return to the inn once.

So I made lunch, packed it in the cage I brought, and added it to my luggage.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Flam and Saila, ready, leave the inn with their luggage.

This time, Milkit's leaving a message, and you can't just take her into a cave with no fighting ability.

"First of all, because if you think it sucks, you run first"

"But..."

"You're with me, too!

"Milkit, I know what it's like to be worried, but maybe I can't help you like I don't think you're gonna smile and drop me off, okay?

"That's a cowardly way to put it."

"Uh-huh, you know that kind of husband, right? Okay, I'll be there."

"I'm coming!

That's what I said, two people leaving Milkit's former.

Anxiety still doesn't clear, but if that motivates Fram, she forced herself under the bandage to make a smile and bow her head.

"Welcome aboard, Master, Mr. Saila"

◇ ◇ ◇

Walking out of town for 30 minutes.

Through the depressed woods, along the road, the cave at hand opened its mouth and suddenly appeared there.

It must have been serviced around the time it was busy with herb collection, the entrance is so greatly expanded that it doesn't seem to be naturally empty.

But not many people stepped in now, and everything was mossy.

Flam exhales "Phew," ready to breathe disturbed by tension, lighting Cantera and stepping into the cave.

Two people stretching down a jittery, dark path, watching the ground slip with moss.

"Isn't it brighter than I thought?

Despite what Sarah said in her small voice, her voice is quite echoed.

"Maybe it does. By the way, it looks like the light's slipping through the ceiling."

And in the part where the light is plugged in, there are herbaceous plants thriving.

Perhaps Chiarly's flock of land is similarly leaking light from above.

Turn off the lights to try and it still doesn't seem surprisingly problematic.

As we continued, the road became even wider.

To see the shredded walls, it still looks like this place was spread out in people's hands, too.

"Ggo......"

From the back, I heard a beastly voice.

When Flam puts his index finger on his lips with a "sigh," Saila kills her breath.

When I stop my legs and clear my ears, my footsteps, which are not people's, are ringing slightly.

As far as possible, the footsteps will also disappear - only the flam will come out of the corner to confirm its appearance.

A green-skinned, muscularly lumpy, human-shaped monster of about 3m.

"You sound like an orgasm, C-rank monster."

Saila said in a small voice.

The side you can see from time to time is literally shaped like a ghost, with fangs stretched sharply to the jaw area accentuating compression.

At the center of his forehead was growing a single horn, plundering the cave ceiling critical.

Flam activated the scan and checked the status.

--------------------

Auga

Attribute: Soil

Muscle Strength: 608

Magic: 9

Health: 623

Agility: 136

Sense: 81

--------------------

It has the status it looks like.

It is a monster in the easy to fight category because it does not have to be wary of magic or form a herd.

At least, it's much easier to do than Anzu, who suddenly unleashes wind magic.

Besides, this is a 2-on-1 fight, it should be much easier than last time.

But don't fail to be alert to a single shot, because there is a risk of immediate death if the hit is bad.

"I don't think the two of us can handle it."

I'm explaining Flam's status to Saila during last night.

Of course I was surprised at first, but I don't doubt that ability because I know I actually seized a man in the King's Capital.

"... All right, let's go"

When Auga showed her back, the two ran out at the same time on Flam's signal.

The battle from then on was truly one-sided.

Heavy blows by Fram's soul eater and Saila's mace surely shred the lives of the orgs.

Especially Saila's, the blow carried out with the addition of a body twist was more powerful than Flam could have imagined.

I'm 10 years old and this is it, so I'm still a horrible girl.

Auga shook her arms barking, but never attacked the two calmly settled.

With each damage taken, the monster moves slower, while the difference in force opens.

At the end of the day, as Flam pierced his chest and pulled out the Great Sword - the giant fell from his face to the ground.

The two work together to flip the body of the auga and cut the fangs out of their heads.

Auga fangs can be sold there for the price as a weapon material.

The purpose is medicinal herbs, but there is no harm in keeping them secure.

When the acquired fangs were gently wiped and packed in the bag, the cave exploration resumed.

It looks like a bigger cave than I thought, and although I hear monster-like voices from time to time, I don't encounter them inside.

To avoid getting lost on the way home, paint the walls for marking and move on.

Then, gradually, the brightness inside the cave increased.

Is the outside approaching?

Going down a winding road, walking towards the light source I finally saw -

"I can't believe there's a place like this..."

"I thought it was strange to find herbs in a cave, but you know what?"

There was no ceiling, open space.

There the sunlight gently plunges in from the sky, and spring water flows into streams, forming an environment that should also be called a resting place for plants.

The inner courtyard of the cave, it will come most firmly to call it that.

It is not strange that Chiarally grows here, where various grass trees grow large and small.

"But something..."

Clear air, easy to spend temperatures.

An environment where you want to accidentally fall asleep on a growing grass - though.

"... wouldn't it be quiet?

Saila anxiously turned to the flam.

She nods, too, and agrees.

Despite this being the place where organisms are so prone to live, for some reason, there are no signs of life.

Only the spiral of water and the sound of the leaves in the wind echoes somewhere creepy.

"In the meantime, find some herbs and go home early"

"Well, maybe I shouldn't stay long."

With that said, the two nod at each other, breaking up with their hands and starting to look for medicinal herbs.

But right after that.

Doo-wo, ooh!

From behind the two of them, a loud explosion sounded.

Flam shook his body violently and turned toward the sound.

What she saw there was a wall crashing and blocking her way home (...) and a pair of guys laughing nasty over there.

"Hey, why did it explode all of a sudden!?

"No way...... Dayne's men? Aren't you stupid, you just chased me to this place!?

Are you going to avenge the two people who stole Leach's bag by sticking it out to the Church Knight?

Now that I think about it, the pair of people who were gathering information in front of the Flams the old lady in town told me about were those men.

But no way, I hadn't even imagined I'd bother tailing you from Wang Du to Enicide, which takes as long as two days by carriage.

When the collapse subsides, Flam approaches a hole blocked by rocks to ascertain the situation.

"I wonder if this is hard to move by hand...... I know it's not impossible"

"If you do it with strength, it could collapse again. Shouldn't we be looking for a way out?

"Right. Um... I'm sorry, I got into a lot of trouble."

"Why would you apologize? Dayne is a bad guy who's definitely putting together West Side adventurers, right? Then he'll be the one to blame, and if we get out of here safely, we'll try to bring him to justice!

Saila holding her fist and forcefully proclaiming.

Flam, strongly regretting the personal resentment he had caused, felt a little saved.

Whatever it is, if we can't get out of here, we'll have to find another exit, just like Saila said.

With such a thing, it would be a story of - this place is huge, there are still as many parts to explore.

"All right, let's find the herb first, then we'll look for the exit -"

When Fram tried to say that, it sounded like something was moving.

Interrupt the words and turn your gaze toward the bush.

"What's wrong with you?

"I think I just heard something move...... maybe a monster"

As I stopped for a while, looking at the sounder - I saw a distant, green-skinned, large humanoid creature.

"Sounds like an orga, I think it's a good idea to take it down first"

……

"Hey, mister?

"... wait a minute"

But Fram was uncomfortable with the look of the org.

Could it have been too different from the part of the face that I saw earlier, the individual that I defeated earlier there?

Hidden in the leaves and not well seen, but when the monster moves and its head reappears.

"What, that..."

Flam was stunned.

I don't have a face.

In that change, the skin peels off and the red meat peels out, which is twisting clockwise as if it were a vortex.

Furthermore, the meat vortex continued to spin as it dripped blood today.

Red fluids streaming down his face wet his chest and shoulders, and the skin of an orga-like organism is discolored to a color close to black only in that area.

"It's not an orga...? No, but your body sounds like an org, right?

"Shh, scan!

The best way to find out who you are is to use a scan.

Monster information drifts in line with the vision of the magically activated flam.

--------------------

I found it.

or sexuality: (why do you) give in from ig

Muscle (Ori,): 7sin

Mari Power: Payback, payback.

Health: 9dea1d (constant, received)

Agility: Is a Salvation

Die: 14

---------------- (Fulfill, Furam) ---------- (-Apricott)

incomprehensible line of characters.

Instinct complained of danger, hurting like his heart had been eagled.

Flam accidentally grabs his chest and causes himself to shrink.

"Hey, I don't know what this is... I've never seen anything like this...!?

Saila, who also activated the scan, is frightened and lagged behind.

Magic activation dysfunction is a common story, but I've never heard it happen with magic as simple as scanning.

I can't believe it's both of us at the same time.

In other words, the information on the displayed monster is correct.

That's the kind of information that's engraved into it.

"And... why is your name in that status!

"I don't know, but - heh!

Something like an ogre who walked far and thought he hadn't noticed this one turned his neck just after activating the scan and stared at the two of them with a spinning meat face.

The positive circle has a slightly laterally extending oval shape.

That's what Flam looked like, laughing.

"Probably not good if you don't run away"

The green fist is gripped hard and blanketed by heaven.

The carbide (...) swings it down as hard as it can and slaps it to the ground.

Originally, there should be no more meaning than intimidation if an unwieldy orga does such a thing.

But shortly afterwards - Flam felt his feet twisted.
