Dorei Tensei: Sono Dorei, Saikyou no Moto Ouji ni Tsuki

The next town is the big city Mid River, called the merchant capital.

But I decided not to aim for the Mid River, but for a nearby settlement.

The purpose of the request is only to destroy the cult. Because they thought they might be eroding from smaller settlements than big cities.

The path to the settlement does not come from South Lorrier, but only from Mid River. So South Lorrier had no choice but to cut through the woods.

"It's not the way anymore. I wonder what it means to go this way," Celestia whispers.

Even though I am at the forefront and have chosen an easy route to follow, for a princess who has not forged anything, this move may be a little more tolerable.

If I had a day alone, I could have arrived with plenty of time, but I've been walking for three days.

"You're not lost in the woods, are you?

"Celestia told me there's a settlement in this direction."

I had the opportunity to buy information from around here at the welcoming event hosted by the director, but I didn't hear anything more about it.

"Still, you're not arriving at all....."

Sure, it's about time I got some indication that people are living here, but I can't feel it at all. In addition, the number of monsters has clearly decreased, and it seems that there are fewer signs of organisms themselves than when they first entered the wood---

I open my left hand to the side and say "Stop" strongly.

Honestly, Celestia began to fall on a nearby tree to relieve herself of being able to rest.

But I won't.

I stopped because I felt signs of approaching, not for a break.

"Looks like customers are coming now. I said," Don't move from there. "But even if I didn't tell you, Celestia didn't intend to move, so she sat on the root of the tree and waved her hand to respond.

After a while, the bush in front shakes suddenly, and a man pops out.

I look like an adventurer wearing armor, but I can only see him running toward me in a hurry, dying his body with blood. Still, I'm not going to rescue you.

I twisted the arm of the man who came here to ask for help and pressed it around my back to the ground.

"It hurts... are you one of them, too?" the man shouted.

"What do you mean? Did the monster do this to you?" I decided to find out if he was approaching by surprise.

The man's blood is really coming out of the wound that the man is suffering from, and the stain is still spreading. The wounds are often shallow, but the ones on the back are still quite deep and too deep for acting. The sword on the waist is not cheap, and if you look closely, the emblem of the Kingdom of Cassandra is engraved.

"I'm not a monster, I was attacked by people from the Kingdom of Rain. They're hunting down the top adventurers here."

"I heard there's a settlement around here, but that scar should get you there," I said, "There's no such settlement. The monster has destroyed it," the man said bitterly.

"Isn't that what they did in the Kingdom of Rain?

The man shook his head and said, "I've been asked to hunt that monster, the Argis dragon."

An Argis dragon, a type of dragon found in the neighboring Argis Mountains, almost never seen in the Kingdom of Carlitz, and if seen, a fierce dragon with imperial troops. When I was alive, I never relied on adventurers for that.

"Quickly, you guys run too. When they arrived...", the face of the man who raised his face froze, and the temperature disappeared from his face.

"If I catch up, what is it? You managed to escape my attack."

Behind the man's gaze stands a young woman who doesn't care about bloodstained armor, looking down at the man and smiling suspiciously.

"There are two new faces," she said, turning her eyes on me and Celia. "That unbalanced set... you guys are adventurers in the Crown system, too," he said happily.

If you're an adventurer in the Crown system, you might get killed. Those who aim for it also naturally exist. Some turn to killers, while others turn their backs on those who stand in their own country.

The armor of the Rain kingdom before him was clearly engraved with a crest that resembled the face in his memory.

"Who will be the royalty of the Kingdom of Rain?"

He looked just like Prince Barris Launey of the Kingdom of Rain, whom I met once when I was a prince.

Eyes that prefer obnoxious and abusive things are apparently hereditary.

"What makes you think that?

"Because that face is the only thing I know about Barrier Launey."

The woman's mouth opens lewdly, and her hand reaches for the sword that is held on her thin waist.

"Even though a lowlife like you is interested in knowing his father," the woman showed a lofty manners, "but unfortunately, you have to seal your mouth," she threw out her sword all at once.

At the same time, three men appeared behind the woman stirring up the grass, all of them dyed with blood.

One of them is laughing with his head in his hand, and I can only imagine that he enjoys killing completely.

I looked at Celestia, who was resting in the back, and the man who was still on the ground. Then, a giggle was heard from the woman.

"Don't worry about the back. I'll deal with it after you."

"--Well, let me ask you one question."

"What is it? It would be helpful if you could hurry up," she replies, staring at the bright red blood on her sword, which has not yet dried up.

"What God do you believe in?

The woman looks at the faces of the men behind her and smiles as she shows them, "What do you want to know before you die? Edina, it's up to God," he replied, making fun of me.

"Well, that's reassuring. If I knew you had nothing to do with my request, I wouldn't have to."

"Cut the crap? You say funny things. I am the best in magic and swordsmanship."

Before the woman finished speaking, I stuck a moment in between, pointing my sword deep into the dove tail, pulling out the woman at once and kicking her back.

The woman rolled violently on the ground, like a doll, and stopped looking up at heaven. However, blood sprayed up from her chest like a fountain, and the woman began to hold her chest unconsciously trying to stop the blood by uttering words that she did not understand the reality. But it was so pointless that the woman quickly stopped moving.

"I'm sorry, there are two of us back here, I can't afford to be a nuisance."

With their mouths open, the men who can't move their necks in an instant, returning to their original positions without showering with blood.

Behind me, Celestia and the man on the verge of fainting looked at me with the same mouth open.
