Grimoire x Reverse ~Reincarnated Demon Romance Tale~

Episode Eight: Ruins in the City of the East: Beyond a Light

- Kingdom Oriental. Port industrial city of Ruins.

It will be a long time since the paint was painted. Thin dirty red steel and the iron and silver colors that shape many buildings. That is the first impression of the industrial city of Ruins in the east of the kingdom.

Muscular men and women move around in iron, round-tails, or heavy dirt and sand, and the drainage flows straight into the sea, and the smoke can rise high and come into the air. That was no exception to the harbor, which should have been sunny today, but also felt somewhere thinly cloudy.

Crain Farbnil is the Divine Son of Light.

The fastest route to the kingdom from the Republic by taking over the carriage and the ship was through this Ruins, and Crain and his companions, Lyudius and Harna, were scattered to the city first to gather information when they arrived in Ruins.

This industrial city is also a gathering city of people who basically do not have the power of magic.

No, people who don't rely on the power of magic guidance, maybe I should say.

Speaking of kingdoms, it is famous as a nation that lists both swords and demonic guidance.

If you want to go the way of the sword, fix the magic guide, and vice versa.

Even though there is that attitude that going both ways is only for one person, it really depends on your talent.

Ludius, a companion of Crain, did not leak into the example either, and to this day he tries to extremes the talent of a sword that stands out far more than the genius of a magical guide.

By the same token, people who swing at the sword after trying both the magic and the sword are often uncomfortable with the magic. And just because you had talent in the sword path, there's no way anyone can be a knight, a swordsman. A sword is power. It is this authentic and powerful work that stretches the talent of its power.

The industrial city of Ruins is a city where those who live on such sword paths use their talents to work.

The harder I try, the richer the city gets. It was also an extremely bright city of people to taste the pleasure with their companions.

These days, it's fashionable to have a vacation with a delightful fellow and play with the noise and amazing, and to put a painting on the guild's bulletin board that demonstrably transcribes those pleasant memories. Isu... Isu... what did you say?

gossip.

Harna would get used to it to a certain extent, but it was such a city, a little too much for Crain.

I hear that of the five heroes of salvation, Categina Ardelheid, the holy swordsman chosen by the kingdom as his representative, was also from this city. It was a city that sold its strength, which seemed to be a big deal out about her, too. Look, there's a bronze statue of a girl knight with one hair tied behind her back.

"Well. You can ask people if they want to gather some information… Everyone here speaks loudly…"

It was true that I was slightly exhausted.

Big voice and a lot of surrounding nori, that feeling of getting slapped a lot on the back, if Crain was a little more or less clumsy, he must have blown them all up with a stick.

The interior of the tavern, which had decided to be the meeting place, was too annoying, so I had no choice but to wait in front of it. For what it's worth looking down the street, this city isn't quite as vibrant.

"Oh, hey! Crane!"

"Welcome back, Harna"

A silver-haired girl running over here waving her hands. I was surprised that the color of my hair changed the moment I changed my class, but that the atmosphere became a little girly, or that the awkwardness disappeared. I feel a little boiled down by the fact that I'm traveling with a girl of my age, and I think it's rude that everything was easier before.

"Eh. I don't know how many seats there are, but I think the Imperial Commander of Magic was in the West Side. That's what I heard. I don't know the details, but he said he was a man."

"West. Republic, if you're coming to the kingdom from Lindbarma, you should use the east... but I didn't really get a clue like that either, and let's just make it my first candidate to head west. It shouldn't take that long if we use the Demon Train to get through Wang Du."

"Wow, it doesn't cost money"

"I have no choice. It takes a lot of walking time."

"Sora, yeah."

Harna putting her wand on the ground in a disappointing manner.

But when she hit Harna with the question as to where she got the information that the Commander of Magic was west, she silently pointed in the direction of the industrial district.

"The office? I've heard it in places like"

"I absolutely don't want to go there..."

Thanks for asking. I couldn't help but think so. It was Crain.

"You're all set. I'm the last one."

"Ah, Ludi, welcome home"

Lyudius slowly returned, making the sound of iron armor.

If Harna has become a girl, should Lyudius say that the style has emerged? If Crain had just met this Ludius for the first time, he must have gotten a little carried away. If they target hostility or something, they should cower and lose their voice.

Aside from such pitiful self-analysis, Ludius, with his intense hegemony, gently frowns at the root and communicates his achievements by shaking his head.

"I'm sorry, but this one didn't get any information on the girl who sounded like a magic conductor or a Justa. If I had a child like that, I'd know soon enough, and so on, so maybe he hasn't come to this city."

"That's right, Lyudi. I just heard that I saw the Commander of Magic at Tsaris in the west. Even men."

"When was this about?

"He came directly here on the Devil's Train... two days ago or something. The person I heard was a friend of the traveler, so I couldn't ask him for more information."

"I see. But west. Why?"

Think about it.

"No, I was just hoping to stop by which Michi Wang capital. Ask your father about the Mad Demons now. After that, we might want to hear it in the West Side."

"Yeah, I think so too"

And so Ludius stood his finger up as he remembered.

"That's right. Totally irrelevant story, there's gonna be ghosts around here. They say you can ram as much as you like. Though it seems to be witnessed as close to where the Devil's train comes in and out.... I know it depends on the definition of being violent, but I know one ghost who's going to do that."

"Oh, Mr. Sten is here!?

"If you're full, let's go play! I could ask you a lot!

"If that's the case, I'll go over there for a while."

The policy has been decided.

Either way, you have to catch the demon train to get to the Wang capital, or to the west city of Tsaris. It was instant action when this happened, more than I see a reason to stay in this city.

West District, which runs through the Harbor District and ahead through the Central District.

This is the end of the eastern part of the Demon Train and also the entrance for people entering the kingdom from the east.

People are busy there because of this, but things are not right. Disturbing, yes. Something's not good, and you say you're trying not to touch it?

When the three of them all had the same sentiment, Harna found the center of it to aim for.

"Isn't that the coffee shop?

"Why don't you go?"

A deliberate mess. Each one has its own, people have their own lives. I can't help but lean toward my purpose as a result of what I have to do now and the weirdness that is happening in front of me. And I suppose you call me a saint about a human being who gives immediate priority to what's right in front of him, like Crain.

Even though I still thought it was half a serving, what I would do was that of the Divine Son of Light of the Church.

Put on a wild horse surrounding the coffee shop and lead Crain in front of the store.

As I walked through the open terrace into the store, I heard the sound of a bottle or something breaking in momentum and a man yelling.

"Next, next!! Bring the next booze!!

"Yes, I'm home!

"Ooh!!

"Oh, my God!

I don't know. Harna and Lyudius looked at each other and thought.

What a betty development.

And it was a boy named Crain Farbnil who couldn't be calm like that.

When he stands in front of a man with refreshment, he tells him off.

"It would be an inconvenience for other customers"

"Ah? Who's Temeer?"

Crain reacted perfectly to the man with a frigid look on his face.

Sharp single corner and distinctive red face. A rugged look on the body that could be described as a giant body.

This man is an Augustus.

"I'm sorry to hear that, Crain. Ghosts aren't ghosts, but dumb demons... they seem to have been incompetent haunted."

"Right."

Nodding quietly, Crain uses the wind to clean up the fragments of bottles scattered across the floor and the crushed table. The clerk-like people were evacuating towards the end of the line, and Crain slowly pulled out the back stick when he confirmed it.

"Come on, you know what I mean, Temee and the others. Turning me against the enemy means turning the old Volcano Haunted Clan against the enemy. Well before then... kill me!!

Let's go, a violent hegemonic storm from a haunted ghost. With the momentum of wind pressure blowing up the store shelves, fright and intimidation are scattered around the area.

Originally, neither the boy in front of you, nor the young man in the armor. And the clerks were supposed to put it together and blow it up, and make it worse for each of these stores. Regardless, the boys didn't seem to have been affected in any way by the clerk, the wild horses, or even one glass of shelves around them, if anything.

"Am I?"

"Are you going to break down the store any more?

The cause was one girl watching them at the entrance to the store.

Her wave of demonic guidance simply surpassed the hegemony of the haunted.

"Fuck you for licking me!!

"I won't let you go."

Crane pushes the stick to stop the haunted ghost who tried to beat him with anger.

That's when the first cold sweat ran to the haunted ghost. I just got hit on the shoulder with a stick, but I couldn't move. Stare at the crane in a strange way like it was in a gold bondage.

"Crain, Lyudi. The haunted ghost is quite strong. I'll protect the store. Do everything you can."

"Before you do, aren't you going to go home like this, Mr. Haughty?"

"Huh? Why do I have to be instructed like Temeer, right?!

With your muscle strength in front of you, or you're forced to shake off Crain's stop.

To the haunted ghost who kept beating me up, Crain said just one word, "Really?"

Faster than my fist could reach me, I poked up the jaw of a haunted ghost with the stick at hand.

"Damn!?

"Phew."

He slaps a straight kick into his galloping empty abdomen and punches him with a stick from the head of a haunted ghost who has become a letter of ku.

"Or, ha!? Hey, get on with it, don't get on!!

Boulders are the endurance of haunted ghosts. Crane looks out for sturdiness that is not as good as a human being, but the mighty ghost who tried to fly was bounced off by another force.

Oh, my God, it's Rudy's shoulder tackle.

"Oops!?

"Crain's attack. Then it's light. Sorry, but I'll smash it."

To the blown haunted, Lyudius says as he rings his arm. You can't pull out a big sword in a store like this. That's what I thought, but the haunted ghost.

"These kids...... no way these guys, shit!

And I seem to have noticed something and escaped.

Instead, the city guards jumped in to see if you got a call or something.

Lyudius quickly put on his hood and left Crain to respond and go outside.

And I can speak to Harna when I leave the store.

"Actually... is it a big deal to be a haunted ghost?

"No, I don't know. Maybe something's moving around here."

It was too unilateral.

I thought you'd do it there because you had such a big attitude, but in the mood like you ate a shoulder watermark, Lyudius closed or opened his own right hand.

Simply put, Crain, Lyudius, and Harna had raised their arms considerably in this period. Should I say that my body has become familiar with the power leveling at the Giant Wall, which has raised my potential?

Otherwise, there can't be as many as one remaining seven keys to collect.

"But a haunted ghost, huh"

"What's the matter, Ludi?"

"No. Sure, the last key is-"

When Lyudius tried to say it, he was freed or Crain had just come out of the store.

"Shit... I don't like this city anymore... it's a luxurious and rambling salad, those people..."

"You're good and fun, aren't you?

"This is the side of being a land of swords"

"Then I wish the two of you would have talked!

"I'm not dealing directly with the haunted ghost."

"I'm in trouble when I find out."

"Gu......!

He was Crain looking up at Harna and Lyudius resentfully, but I guess he assumed he wasn't going to work with them no matter what. I sighed small and walked away like I'd given up.

"For now, I was going to take the Devil's Train to Wang Du, will you listen to me for a second?

Heading alongside Crain is the Demon Train ticket office.

Its large outlet, built next to an unmanned ticket machine, was like that of an overseas leisure facility, but no one here realizes its terrible resemblance.

"Everything seems to be getting more active around here lately... in the southeastern region of the kingdom. They live in the old volcano."

"What do you say? Speaking of which, you said earlier." Turning the old volcano haunts against their enemies. "

"Yes, yes. They're sending crusaders out of Wang Du because they're too blind..."

"But?"

As Lyudius urged him to continue, Crain looked at Harna like he was in trouble.

Not knowing its intent, she tilts her neck and Crain opens her mouth, as she had noticed.

That crusader is the Knights of the Dragon.

"The Demon Wolf Squad?

"I don't know that. But they're already leaving for the old volcano. When the information arrives, it's not strange to be on your way."

"Yeah, right."

The Knights of the Holy Dragon are the elite troops of the kingdom. It has numerous divisions and unbeatable power over other countries, starting with the Demon Wolf Troops that use the Mad Demons. Nevertheless, Lyudius' mind was extremely complicated if the Demon Wolf Squad were to come out.

I think the demons who do harm to the King's people as they do now should be crusaded. But it would be different to manipulate them to fight enemy countries and foreign enemies.

Whether that was a common view between the three of us. The prime party is the prince of the unbridled kingdom, Lyudius Fossalena Grand Galea, the man.

Next to Lyudius, who has thought about it, Harna asks Crain.

"When you say old volcano, of the calming tree sea?

"That's right, about the Dead Volcano in the highlands there."

"Because, Rudy,"

Lyudius nodded at the two of them as he raised his face in response to Harna's voice.

"Okay, okay. You know a lot of me, and if you're heading from Wang Du to the old volcano, you're probably supposed to come by military train to Riverside Station in the southeast. Shall we go down to the old volcano at that station before the king's capital?"

"Mm, okay. Plus, sometimes I wonder if you're a haunted ghost."

"Oh, yeah"

I guess what Lyudius missed earlier.

Crain seemed to have noticed too.

Seven Keys that are the purpose of their journey. Starting with the red key, I've collected many keys so far. Not only do these open the door to the entrance to the Underground Empire of the Demonic Realm, but they are also substitutes taken care of during class changes.

In particular, Harna has a new class change in Mount Negri Abandoned Pit.

That, seventh. The last, purple key.

I was talking about the Haughty Nation having it.
