Grimoire x Reverse ~Reincarnated Demon Romance Tale~

Lesson Two: Lindbarma: Prologue II

- The Empire is a republican territory, the "old" state capital of Laidoa, Lindbarma.

Crain Farbnil is the Divine Son of Light.

As we embark on a journey with the mission of crusading the Demon King, another month is about to pass with the early one. The bond gained and the power attached had become so great that it was not as great as it had been before we embarked on our journey.

Again, the most important of these are the people we've traveled with.

"Swordmaster" who has recently developed his skills as a swordsman with even more impetuous momentum, making him the second prince of the kingdom.Lyudius Fossalena Grand Galea.

And Harna, the "Refiner" of the Adventurer (Braiva), who has a variety of effects on enemy allies as well as a rear guard restoration position.

themselves have reached a class called "Lord," each growing greatly.

They were now such an excellent party that they hardly struggled with the warcraft and hostile demons there.

"... Well, I thought it was around here, but I wonder how it went"

What the Crains were doing now was that the Empire was a city called Lindbarma on the territory of the Republic. There has been a violent collision around here between a unit using a fanaticized demon clan called the "Demon Wolf Corps", which belongs to the Knights of the Holy Dragon of the Kingdom, and the Imperial College Book and Mausoleum.

When it comes to why we came all the way to the territory of the Republic, there were two main reasons.

One, because I thought we should take a good look at the nail marks on the madness biological weapon "Demon Wolf Squad" that the kingdom has created once and for all. As a result, the realm of the Republic has just been swallowed up by the Empire, or it has lost most of its power as a result of the Kingdom's attacks.

The other was because I came looking for a girl with a strong grudge against that fanatical demon clan - Justa Welseia. Separation from her is the kingdom capital. Lyudius brought Justa to the King's Capital knowing what his impression was on the Demon Wolf Army and the Mad Demons. It was a vendetta and a mistake, and she was gone. When I narrowed down a few candidates to see where they went, just where they had nothing to do with her - that is, I heard there had been a major incident in Lindbarma, the capital of Leidore, and I came this far.

"But this is... terrible. Village, was it?

Lyudius glanced around paying for the red copper hair that made him feel wild.

A certain abandoned village, closer to Lindbarma. It is obvious in this light, for example, why this village has been abandoned.

The walls of a house that still doesn't bleed. Stinging rotten odors and swarms of burnt-down houses. It seems obvious that the field was just burned or trampled and vandalized, leaving traces of the score that would have been swept down as far as power was concerned everywhere and... traces of something splashed.

The traces of hell reflected in the oblique yang were badly pierced in the chest.

"Here the Demon Wolf Squad and the Imperial College set things up, suppose. The people of this village..."

Harna grabbed her own chest softly, leaning down and leaking her voice.

This is the claw mark of the battle.

"... most of the houses would be after they were devoured by night thieves and warcraft. Everything was taken from me. Dignity as a person, as well as traces of life's leftover business. It's also the responsibility of the Demon Wolf unit of the Mad Demon Clan who was ordered only to kill people."

Toothpicking, he muttered a word, and Ludius put his arms together.

"- You shouldn't repeat this"

"Crain?"

"Don't repeat it. Wouldn't you? Not really. We should have gone on a journey like this. [M] I decided to fight the Demon King's Army. And yet, there's not a lot of people who have nothing to do with the Demon King's Army doing this to each other!

"Oh well. That's right, Crain!

"... oh"

Lyudius, also a party, nodded heavily.

As a second prince, I had little power in politics.

I wish I could help by waving my sword and give something back to my own country. He repeatedly deceived himself by not engaging with his goals. But that doesn't change the kingdom right now.

Advise the King not to do this.

No, I'll make you stop.

So determined.

"If that's what you decide, Justa needs to look for you too!

"... oh yeah"

From the abandoned village where Imperial College and Demon Wolf troops fought, there is a state capital not so far away.

Instead, this village may have been sacrificed to stop the invasion of the state capital.

We got into the carriage that kept us waiting, and the three headed straight for Lindbarma.

There was, to some extent, knowledge of the state capital Lindbarma.

I was particularly familiar with Lyudius. It was because when the kingdom was meeting for an invasion operation on the territory of the Republic, its name was mentioned as a necessary guard, so to speak.

First, the first layer where the general public lives. A second layer across the wall. Third layer further back.

I hear that it is a fortified city made in layers as rounded as Baumkuchen, and that Shinobu is easily built to wage battle everywhere.

It was the three of us who shared such a story in the carriage, but we would arrive in Lindbarma and lose our words.

The third layer did not exist in the first place.

Most of the walls separating the second and first layers were also about to collapse.

That only the first layer is functioning properly and the third layer has a huge crater in the middle.

"... ho, what really happened to this city"

During the gathering of information to the surrounding people, information was obtained that something had happened in the third layer anyway, whether it was ambiguous but "I thought I saw a huge light and the third layer blew up" or "the death struggle between the gods and the chiefs had crumbled the city" or "the energy resonated with the phenomenon of magic and magic fluctuations purged in the third layer".

By the way, the first streetman I spoke to said, "This is the capital of the state, Lindbarma... and it was a long time ago that they called me. As the center flew, you can see how it functions as a city. Now Ordra and Raydoor's Shinobi are in the process of joining forces and rebuilding," he said.

Each assemble at the kiosk with some gathered information that it's a meal first.

Make it Harna. Make it Lyudius. I have a slightly troubled face.

The same was true for Crane, who sat on a round table guided by a shopkeeper-like youth.

"Uh, I'll have this set of herbal pasta and ginger tea."

"I'll add two extra loaves of bread to my meal."

"I'm going to fix a meal."

"Yes, sir."

Finish only the order lightly, and the three of them face each other.

There were about two guests around, but fewer than I thought.

Looks like the store owner moved on to cooking this table, too, if you take a good look at it, and it doesn't seem busy.

I'm somewhat concerned that there are few people at this hour... but that's it.

"What do you think? You got it?

"I'm not at all. It seems that a man named Sheikh Shrark has unleashed a force using the Mad Demons... sounds like a fact."

"Sounds similar over here. The gods appeared and tried to deliver the commotion, but it was too much to blow up the third layer or something."

Um, and Crain put his arms together.

Something strangely caught that god, but there's no story at all about Justa.

This was a detachment, when the three of us were roaring yeah.

"Thank you for waiting, this is pasta"

"Ah, yes!

When the pasta was gently placed on the table, Ludius kicked Crain in the leg. If you think of anything, you point to the back of the store asking me to look over there in eye contact.

There are no guests who were supposed to be here earlier.

When Lyudius gave her a bad feeling, the shopkeeper's young man grinned.

"This one has two fixed meals, right? By the way..."

Serving, he goes on.

"- What are you looking for?

"Eh."

Lyudius rose on guard.

Neither does Crain, but he looks into the eyes of the youth.

Harna said, "Huh? Huh?" I don't even try to hide the confusion, but I don't know if my liver is still sitting there.

"I heard that the three adventurers (Braiva) who came to the city this evening were investigating various incidents about 20 days ago. If you're really an adventurer, and the prince of the kingdom is mixed up - unfortunately you can't help but be vigilant as we are."

"Are you..."

"What a shitty ninja."

to smile, his eyes are not smiling.

Apart from the breathtaking Lyudius, Harna waved and appealed between them like she was in a panic.

"Hey, wait a minute! We just came looking for friends."

"Are you willing to" search for friends "the prince of the kingdom, the culprit of the Mad Demons, is sniffing around about the Mad Demons case?

"Chi Ga - Noh!! It's the same ninja you are! I went missing and I was looking for him, and I was just listening because there was a case in his hometown that didn't seem to be irrelevant!

The young man sees the three with frigid eyes.

There's no one else here. - At least it seemed that way to Crain. Nevertheless, there are more obvious ninjas here than Justa. If Shinobu, who is good at hiding, is lying low, then we obviously have a bad minute right now.

... pitiful, but as always, this crisis was entrusted to Harna's backless character.

"And my friend's name is Justa! I broke up in a fight in the kingdom and that's why I was looking! Even when it comes to the Mad Demons, Lyudius is a dissident, but he's still a child from politics, so he's been crushed and abused!

"I'm not being abused, I'm not being nail-bounced......!!

"Shit, Lyudi, now bear with me......!

To such a desperate clarification, the young man seems to have been silent for a while.

"... Princess Justa's friend is incredible to Russia"

"Princess!?

"Princess!?

"Princess!?

"... Something strange?

"No. No."

"Is she the princess..."

"It doesn't look too good"

To a surprised gaze, alignment and similar reactions.

But as a result, it may have de-alerted the youth.

"... no, indeed, the princess would be far from what the world calls the image of a princess because of the atmosphere. Whether we're friends or not, there doesn't seem to be any lies in that reaction."

"Um... what about you?

Harna asks.

Then he answered, a little troubled.

"of the example case… a party or a sidekick? Either way, he was in the vortex. My name is Paul."

"Party to the case!? I can't believe we met here!

Wow, convenient! and tense Harna, but youth - Paul controlled.

"Now Lindbarma is sensitive to outsiders. Understand that it's not strange to be suspicious of people who can do a lot of root digging and leaf digging. Do you mind?

"Uh, ah, yes"

"Okay. Please wait. Oh, please enjoy the food because it will be cold. We don't mix anything that's not good."

"Oh, it's okay. I'm a refiner. I know that."

"... Really?"

I skinned Harna, who started eating herbal pasta, and Lyudius and Crain decided to eat first. It's been a long time since I've had anything to eat in the city for a few days.

Paul, who came back missing so much, offered the three of them a cup of coffee before leaning against the counter himself and opening his mouth.

"As I told you earlier, I am a one-way ninja, and here I am the master of the dining room. The prince of the kingdom is checking his identity, but we have little information about the other two. Are you not a man of the kingdom, or of the republic?

"My name is Crain Farbnil. Let us do the Divine Son of Light in the Patriarchate."

"Oh, I'm Harna! I'm an unidentified F-ranked adventurer (Braiva -) with an indefinite address!

"You're darker than I thought..."

With his hands on his forehead, he groaned one person, "It does match the characteristics of the divine son of light that was in the information," he said.

"Either way, Princess Justa is no longer in this city. We were in action with another man."

"Male...... who is it"

"... that person, didn't he have a monocle or something?

Paul's one-eyebrow rises in Crain's inquiry.

"Yeah. Do you know him?

"Yes, say Mr. Digirre McClain, I'm the Enchantress of Imperial College."

……

"Mr. Paul?

"No, I know him, too, right? Whatever.... no Princess Justa disappeared with him at the time of that big incident. Anything more, I'm sorry, I can't talk to you."

"I knew Justa, I was here!

"But when you're with Mr. Digire, where have you been?"

Harna and Crain arm each other at the same time.

Lyudius sipped his coffee looking at them like that and watched Paul.

"Was that man involved in this case?

"I don't know much about it. I don't act with them."

"Hmm? Weren't you with Justa?"

"… to stop the fanaticism, and the murder of Raydoor chief Shrek Druid Gardeia, I went into the third tier with some people - to stop Shrek and the others. That said, I could hardly do anything."

"... with you, I think the power is considerable in the ninja."

"Ha, but still not to the extent that it would break if I fought you one-on-one?

"... Still"

"With me, I owed it to you two, who were so powerful that I couldn't compare....... Thanks to you, I also know all the reasons why Shrek used the Mad Demons.... Well you can talk about this. The purpose of Shrark is to eliminate the imperial forces using the Fantastic Demons. To rebel against the Republic and rebuild the Republic."

"... no matter how distressed you are, manipulating a person's life is not going to be a good thing"

"Exactly. So I tried to stop it."

"Couldn't you?

"I got it.... but in the end, it was like Shrek was being manipulated into his life, too. by a man named Renoir."

To the words, Ludius, and both Harna and Crain rounded their eyes.

Whatever, what's his name?

"Sound familiar?

"Previously on Japone."

"I" made "a friend of the bloodsucking princess or something. He's a bad guy!

Phew, Harna said that with anger in mind.

Thinking back is the birth of a girl named Minerina Orba.

Though Harna led to a class change in that one, that's not what I'm talking about.

Minerina decided to disappear from the front of her loved ones, and if she made a mistake, she could be killed as a human bomb.

"... maybe"

Crane, who I've been thinking about, puts his finger up like he came up with something.

Guess Justa's after Renoir.

"That's it!

Harna stood up as a delight. Crain panicked that it wasn't definitive yet, but Harna was deaf. Lyudius, agreeing that's the usual thing, said he turned to Paul.

"... by the way, it's completely irrelevant."

"What is it?"

"I hear the gods have appeared and gone wild in this city. This guy, he's right."

Paul narrowed his eyes to the word god.

He is none other than a helpful actor in Paul's defeat of Shrark together and the preservation of Shinobi's life in this city. I am close enough to give my own booze and ladybug as a token of trust.

If so, it is only by what the boy in front of you will say - that the future response will be determined.

If it seemed friendly, if it was a friend of that man or something, it would surely be worthy of credit. You may also believe the word negative to the Fantastic Demons.

But if we're going to crusade him as a demon, at least we're captive to stereotypes or trying to exclude the demons, either way -.

"Wastefully tense, wasteful moves, wasteful words and actions, that habit. Wasn't he good for nothing?

"Oh, uh... well, yes"

"That's all I need to hear.... did he still do it here?"

To Ludius with a distant eye, Paul wondered if that would have been the only thing in vain until now. I drank the dark coffee I had brewed for myself.
