Hitsugi no Maou

Eighteen Tales: Falling

"He said we're going inside the ground crack!? Are you insane!?

Even though Ledge nodded again and again, he gave his opinion to Straw, who raised his voice softly.

"Getting into ground breaks is ridiculous enough to be a child training story in my country's 'Husk Democracy'. Cracks, caves, old pits. These three are not strange whenever they are blocked, so don't barely step in. Yes, the grownups keep their mouths shut and teach their children over and over again. The protagonist of an international fairytale who finds a strange cave and goes safely diving. Those are actually very stupid people, because I have enough octopus in my ears for both my parents and my school teacher..."

"It's so loud. Do you know the story of Omae country?"

A girl glanced at the ledge and stood before a crack on the ground. Leaves and decayed soil were taken by Sabitoga and Straw. There is only a dark entrance like the abyss (Shin 'en). There was no room to know what was inside or from the ground.

At that dark entrance, a girl plugs one foot. To the respiratory rustlers, the girl said without looking back.

"Come as lightly dressed (cool) as possible. Especially there, a messy, loud kinky head. Omae's armor is going to 'add up', so if you don't want to die, take it all off before you jump in."

Before Ledge opened her mouth peeling her eyes, the girl kicked the ground and disappeared into the ground as if sucked in.

The men quickly rush to the ground to peek. But the thick darkness had already swallowed up all of the falling girls, and finding no color there but pitch black (shinkoku) did not leaf.

The three looked at each other and eventually said "I knew it was a demon" in the voice of Ledge trembling.

"I knew it was a monster to jump into a hole like this without even putting a lifeline on it... it must be turning into a feather or bat on the way down and waiting for us to jump in and laugh slightly."

"Do something stupid..."

"No, I'm sure it is. Same as when my party was wiped out. He's a shady monster who doesn't pollute his own hands and lures humans into dangerous places to destroy himself. Imagine a bat floating with patty wings in the middle of a hole, laughing in the eye with us falling. We couldn't do anything, and eventually we were beaten to the hard ground at the bottom of the hole, and we were saddened..."

"All right, buddy. Let's do this."

Straw whispered Reggie's mundane delusions and pinned him toward Sabitoga. Immediately after.

Straw's shoe (crease) suddenly cut the wind and kicked Ledge's hips towards the ground crack. Ledge falling to the bottom of the earth as he exclaimed. He said to Sabitoga with his eyes peeled off and Straw rebacked his kakashi.

"It doesn't start when you're just saying it. I don't want to convince you that I blame the Devil for everything I don't like or explain. I don't care what that girl thinks, she's just a human being. It's just a girl jumping in ahead of time, and our big man freaking out and running away, isn't it?

I'll go. I'll show you my guts. I don't know if I'm going to get molested. Don't you? "

Hmm? and a straw that lets you try to tie up the crease. Sabitoga slowly opens her mouth with her eyes peeled (Mm) all round.

"... Didn't I tell you to take off your armor and come back?"

To Sabitoga, pointing to the falling ground crack of the ledge, Stolo said again after a few seconds of silence, "Hmm?," he shook his throat (throat) and frowned.

At the next moment, they kicked the ground like they were begun and jumped into the ground crack. "I did it. Ah! Straw screaming," You did it. You can do it! "The roaring Sabitoga voice is left over their falling heads.

My body crept through the darkness. The wind coming up from the toe is cold, and the flesh accelerates at once, guided by gravity. It was like standing in a dark night storm. In a pitch-black vision that doesn't even see Straw's face screaming right next to him, Sabitoga firmly grips (nibbles) the spear in her hand and gazes (giggles) across the wind-cut leg.

If you can beat him to the ground, he'll lose his life for sure. Physical sensation time amplifies to signs of loss of vision and death, and Sabitoga continues to fall long and long through the hole.

Eventually, Sabitoga's eyes caught some distraction in the pitch black. What's this? Shortly after I thought about it, there was an awesome shock all over my body.

A body wrapped in cold air. The air to be blocked (shudder) and a slight floating sensation.

Sabitoga finally realizes that she has entered the water with countless bubbles (abuzzi) that pass through her sight. The distraction I saw earlier was on the water. There was groundwater tucked away at the bottom of the crack. It's not salty seawater either, there's true water.

Sabitoga stayed in a watered position and made sure where the flesh was headed after not moving for a while. If the flesh sinks to the bottom, you must throw away your luggage and protective equipment and swim. Fortunately, however, Sabitoga's body was slightly elevated.

Sabitoga thinks, aiming at the surface of the water with the foam. Shortly before entering the water, the distortion of the water surface could be seen, which means that there is some light source in this underground lake. There is no reason for the water to twinkle in a place without light. There are no light sources in the water, so it is on the water that there are lights.

Sabitoga glances slowly at her neck and looks up over her head. At the end of that gaze, something unintentionally horrible appeared.

Fish shadow. The shadow of a large creature, similar to Sabitoga's arm, is so big that it cannot be hugged, that it swims in the darkness.

On the surface of the water, he also saw a dark orange light, but Sabitoga watered with both arms, leaving (mostly) his floating body on. Quickly run your gaze around you, alerting you to overhead fish shadows.

There was a Stolo face amazingly close by. He seemed to have noticed the fish shadow too, waving his neck sideways, pointing definitely overhead. Sabitoga nodded, turning her gaze further to look for Ledge, who had fallen first.

The ledge was slowly sinking toward the bottom of the water, even in the opposite direction from the straw. The heavy armor keeps my body from floating. Sabitoga, along with Straw, swims underwater and hurries to the ledge.

Reggie stuck with a bright blue face when he noticed what Sabitoga looked like. Sabitoga pushes the arm of the ledge away, pointing to the junction (s) of its armor, and looks back at the strut.

Straw pulled out Kakashi's sword as he nodded, and went underwater to remove Ledge's armor. Disconnect the armor joints, leather belts, and hemp strings (strands) strapped exactly like a shackle on the body of a rampaging ledge, one by one, and throw them under the water.

Eventually, when all the armor of the ledge is peeled, Sabitoga grabs the collar (Eri) of the ledge's clothes from behind and swims out toward the water as she drags it.

The overhead fish shadow had disappeared at some point. Sabitoga kicks water with all her might to inherit (one) breath that had already reached its limit, even as she guards her surroundings.

The orange light on the water accidentally became clearer, and Sabitoga's head crept over the water.

Buha! and breathe loudly, followed by the heads of Ledge and Straw, making the same noise.

The orange light intensified as she was desperately pumping air into her lungs, and a girl with a light source pine (sweet potatoes) walked up the shore and approached her. Its purple eyes are stained with discomfort close to aversion.

"I properly advised you to come in a light outfit (cool)... are you nuts, Omae..."

"It's this guy's fault! What are you thinking of kicking it off all of a sudden!!

Ledge pointed at Straw crying, slamming him on the water with his hand and saying, "I hate you!" and twitch.

In contrast, Straw said, "You saved me right!" Yelling back, "he just doesn't try to look at each other casually. Sabitoga scolded the increasingly rampant ledge, feeling sorry for him.

"Ledge, don't make too much noise! There's a squirrel! They're coming over!

"That's not a bamboo. It's a stadion. It's a quiet fish that eats shrimp and shellfish, and I don't have a single tooth, so I don't have to worry about getting bitten."

Sabitoga and the others look at the girl, who breaks her knee and says with her left hand, cheering. The girl sighed deeply and shook the pine lights left and right making a humble noise.

"Because this lake was stained in the upper Buna forest and accumulated filtered rainwater, no fish can swim but live (su) in the sea. The only ones swimming are Stazion and a trashy, transparent shrimp. Neither will strike a human."

……

"Omae and the others were just messing around on their own. Are you satisfied, or do you want to play with more bumpy tapping water? Stazion is a sweet fish, so if you're swimming on the water, you come by. People in the birth canal are not in the habit of eating fish, but there are many Gentiles who prefer Stazion eggs. You can catch him if you want. So you just have to be happy to say ka-cha like a child. It's a good year for you adults."

Sabitoga and the others were swimming on the water while the girl was talking and up to the shore. A scaffold with smooth black stones solidified like scales (candles), with no mud or dirt.

With Straw and Ledge squeezing her wet clothes behind her back, Sabitoga frowned, "There's no mistake in anyone," as she raised her forehead to the girl who squeezed herself.

"Please be gentle. Unlike you, we know very little about the Island of Demons. You're the only one I can count on."

"... come on. Go to the village and start a fire before you catch a cold."

The girl turns her face away and walks out. He approached Sabitoga, staring at its back as he squeezed his hair, laughing and laughing at what was wrong with Straw.

"Son of a bitch, you lit it all up. Drop it at that rate and give it a more character round, second husband."

"Don't be silly, you apologize to Reggie properly"

The moment Sabitoga pointed with her thumb, Ledge sneezed enormously, losing his armor and completely narrowing the line of his body.

The girl raises an annoying voice, "Come quickly".

To the light of the pine lights that went away, the three followed the little guide in advance.
