Grimoire x Reverse ~Reincarnated Demon Romance Tale~

Episode Seven: Kettleburg Harbor III: From the Carriage Windows of the World

"Ha ha ha, were you missing?"

"Three months, I didn't think so..."

The Crains have nothing more to do with the flower city of Komamoi than to be able to rendezvous with Sten. For that reason, the two carriages were all the way to the port of Kettleburg. Minnelina laughs delightfully in the shaky car.

By contrast, Sten was thinking while scratching his back of his head with the look of how he had come.

When did the three month blank become vacant? At first I wondered if it was also the effect of past alterations, but Rex should have opened the gate for me to pick up as soon as he sent the Stens into the past. The history hasn't changed to see what Rex says and does. Of course, the background would have changed somewhat...... it was suspicious if it had anything to do with space-time relations.

Because.

"... Yurika said," Three days after I found her. "Veroche... Veroche didn't say anything about the time he was locked up, and I might have passed out longer than I thought."

There's no way I could have slept for three months, but for example, Sten was lightly lost consciousness when the goddess missed her intervention when heading into the past. I don't know if the intervention happened at the time Kraken attacked me, but maybe it involves me around there as well.

"... I'm worried about the awesome name I heard somewhere, okay now? So they came all the way out to me to rendezvous with your family. Aren't you the good boys?"

"Yes, but it's a story. Even those guys are gonna be tough."

"Divine Son of Light... or..."

"Am I?"

Pompous, Minnelina shrugged. I hesitated for a moment because something was emanating from her air that made me wonder if it was also due to it, but it was also ridiculous to ask.

I try to get my mind back on it, but I stop to think that the place will just subtly cloud because I've got a weird time.

If you look at the seat next door properly, thinking about that.

"... hmm?

"How long have you been awake, you?"

"Ya, it would be someday if you told me when. The atmosphere that my haunted brother was going to do something about it turned upside down, so I took a safe nap."

"Sounds hot and bitter. Hey. Jail, you were awake when he commanded you."

"Come on, if you were awake," since when? "

As relaxed as ever, he grinned, Tetsu sitting back relaxed in his seat. The eyes, which had been closed until earlier, opened up loudly, with appropriate wording like wrapping around smoke.

In and of itself, I'm glad.

Uncomfortable with Tetsu's verse, Sten looked to Tetsu.

Tilting his neck, he seems particularly decent where he thinks he is, and Sten clouds his words, wondering if it's because of his mind.

"... hmm?

"What's wrong with you?

"No, nothing."

"Ha.... more than that, were they the Divine Son of Light and his line?... the Divine Son of Light,"

"Minnelina and you, don't eat too much."

"Ya, I guess so. This is why the Divine Son of Light, the Protector of the original Church, is here… After all, is it true that the Demon King was resurrected?"

"Well, don't feel too harsh for Holla"

Tetsu originally only narrowed her thin eyes further against the arm-wrapped Sten.

Relax and look out the window. I can't see his expression because he's pointing at the other side.

Tetsu is human. Minerina is a blood-sucking princess.

I can't think of much contact with the Divine Son of Light or anything, but I think Sten might have something. There is no obstacle if it is to such an extent as not to be certain in the course of the journey, but what will happen?

Hmm, and there was a bright alt voice in Sten's ear that lay his hand on his chin.

"Either way, if you go to Kettleburg, you have a guild. You should also write a message to your family there. That message board over there, it's convenient there."

"Let me do that. As soon as you stay overnight in Kettleburg, you're sailing for Japone, aren't you? Well, I guess I'll let you do something else when I get to the harbor."

"Please hide your hegemony. It's not very common for you."

"Ugh."

Relax and rock in the carriage, leaving yourself to the view and scent of an irreplaceable flower street. Is it time to arrive in Kettleburg?

On the side of the upbeat Minerina singing her nose next door, I could not read her earlier unspoken feelings about the "Divine Son of Light".

"Mr. Sten was there, you found out. About Crain."

"You won't have a choice about that. I'm in a better position to do every favor. It could have been a hassle later if it had been as revealing as its identity."

Meanwhile, a conference by boys and girls of the same age was held in another carriage running down the flower street as well. With an equally serious look, the four of them sit in the car making a circle.

"Rather, you feel like you're going to have to look for Mr. Hiiragi. That guy had a cool face and he was going to go to a dangerous area or something."

"It won't even start if I'm worried about you now. What more do we do, Crain?"

"... right"

Justa, Crain nods at the word of Lyudius.

Jarrah, and the keychain that rang at hand. There were keys in exactly the same shape as red, orange, yellow, green and four colors. Remaining, I don't know where the tri-color key is. That's why we have to search this situation by hand. Asked Minnelina earlier that she did not know the existence of such a key on the boulder.

"... we have to do our best to find you, Minnelina, who has been informed and rumored."

"Minerina Orba, huh?"

"Lyudi?"

Next to the sighing crane, Lyudius, with his hand on his chin, groaned pompously.

"He's probably not human."

"... ugh, yeah. I thought so, too."

"I don't care if you're not human or not..."

"Is there a reason? There are possibilities for the Demon King's army."

"... but you were with Mr. Sten, weren't you?

"With Sten, who was taken away by the Demon King's Army,"

……

For a moment, Crain took a breath when he was poked in the void.

I forgot.

Sure enough, Sten was taken away by that nightmarish girl three months ago. I gathered information about her background from what "Mr. Veroche" and Sten were calling it, but I didn't know it was very clear.

That's why I couldn't figure out where Sten was either.

And he appeared abruptly.

Um, with a girl who's not human.

"That's a blood-sucking princess. … example, the same as Japone's array"

"Oh, um..."

Crain punched his hand in Justa's much thrown remarks.

I just remembered.

Relative to him like that, it was Harna who darkened.

"Flare reel, huh..."

"Harna, I knew you were still worried."

"Yeah... 'Cause I knew I couldn't leave you alone..."

Flare reel.

She and I met at the request of an adventurer (Braver) a month ago when we toured the area of Japone together searching for keys. Instead of meeting him, he went on a crusade after receiving reports that the bloodsucking princess was ramming the abandoned pit into Negijo.

"... I need to be strong, 'cause that's all he was"

"Strong for the Lord, if you say so, you'll have to crusade. It's not what started now that vampire blood clans are having a huge impact on the Demon King's Army. I don't know why I would break out on the Japone border, but I still have to fight more than anything to do with the Demon King's Army."

"... what a swordsman who didn't do anything to that child has testified"

"The kid will be Justa, too. Unlike me, I couldn't help myself. What about you?"

"Ugh."

Pui, and Justa turned away like a child. But what she said was true.

Ludius didn't get any hands on a girl named Flair Reel, and everyone knew why he wouldn't. His oath that "no child will be slaughtered". That is something that is heavily rooted in his past in the kingdom.

So I also avoided fighting her, which was a "risk factor". I wouldn't do anything that would allow me to cross a blade with a girl less than ten. The appearance and contents, that girl was still a child. So Lyudius didn't fight. He wasn't the kind of opponent he could win without Ludius, and above all, he was diminishing everyone's will to fight at that point.

And.

"... I wanted to stop that girl"

"There's nothing I can do about it, that one. Crain, do something."

"Her determination was not something she could overshadow. That's why I can't even protect you. All we can do is defeat the enemy's heart - the Demon King. You can't attack such a little girl."

"Sweet guys"

"You weak bastard."

"What the hell?"

Mmm, and only Justa inflates his cheeks.

Only she has lived in a slaughtered society since the beginning. Just because she was young, her surroundings didn't condone it. I think their stance is sweet because they have survived among the weak predators. But... even so, I honestly left the place with Justa.

I'm sure she didn't want to kill him either...... yes, Crain believes.

"Whatever, it's what you do, right? You haven't heard where Mr. Sten and the others are headed yet."

"You mean I'll accompany you for a while?

"He said I should put that into perspective, too. They might be able to teach you martial arts."

"You really like that demon ghost."

"It's cool. I want to be."

"Even though I've been helped, it's not there."

In Justa's brain, shaking his head with a sluggish face, there was still a horrible demon ghost in front of his enemies throwing his fortune into the universe and shouting a language that didn't make sense and stirring joy like crazy.

"... Hey, Crain"

"Hmm?"

and recently opened his mouth with a truly sparsely mouthed harna leaning over.

Taking the gaze of the three of them all together, she turns forward as she grips that skirt all the time.

"She worked hard for a man called the Lord. That's all... I'm sure the Adventurers (Bravers) are still asking me to crusade.... because we failed in our request, we might be turning to the next person again... more importantly, he's not harmful to humans..."

"Japone is between the Empire and the Principality. So I knew there was a demonic exclusivism like the Empire. … there's nothing we can do about it right now"

"So..."

"That's all Harna convinced me to do, and she shook her head.... I'm sure you'll never solve that fortification of a place. If only we could do something about the presence of the Lord..."

Ha, and the slightly darker atmosphere filled the car to match the sighed crane, that was then. They didn't even realize they were starting to slow down, they didn't even react to the carriage finally stopping.

Then, the door of the carriage was opened.

It wasn't you or anything that was there.

"Uh-oh, here we are, Kettleburg! The souvenirs here are quite delicious, and so are you guys... so dark! What is that, OTUYA!? Look, talk to your brother, misoshir."

"Sten, …"

"What? What?"

Hmm? Hmm? and watching Sten look at everyone's face, I even kind of feel like this guy will fix everything.

Crain sent Lyudius an eye contact once, making sure he nodded, then took a big, deep breath and asked Sten.

"A little child is even raging in japone for the Lord. If you're going to Japone, stop her...... can you help me?

"HA?

Awesome looking Sten. Justa looked at it and thought this guy might be a bit of a jerk after all.
