My name is James.

A man who has grown his father's small chamber of commerce into one of the city's best in Dari in just one generation.

And I am proud that it is possible to become the largest company in this country at any one time, depending on my management skills.

"Even so, the magic equipment called this car is convenient."

I bought it for a high price, but I think it was a very good shopping experience for me because I often travel around the city for work.

Automotive.

It is a revolutionary magic tool that has been rapidly spreading around the world, replacing the carriage that has been mainstream in recent years.

Maintenance costs are never cheaper because magic is the power source, but since horses and lords are not needed, they are somewhat better than carriages.

Pilotage was also relatively easy, and I was able to ride around freely with a little practice.

I am still flying this car from home to the Chamber of Commerce office today.

Hmm?

Then there was a man walking majestically in the middle of the road ahead.

He looked back at us as if he had noticed the noise, but for some reason he remained there.

P ~ ~ ~ ~!

I rang the siren.

Still trying not to pave the way, I had to stop the car and stepped out the window and yelled.

"Hey, I'm in the way! Get out of the way!"

"Ah... nh... nh..."

I can't see my face well in my hat, but it looks like a young man.

After saying something in a blurry, hard to hear voice, the man approached the side of the road as a man.

What kind of person am I, when I passed by, peeked into my hat.

--And I saw it.

"Nh... my bright white hair and red eyes..."

What came to mind was a newspaper article that I had just read while eating breakfast at home.

[Disaster Undead Appearance]

On the 24th, the gray-haired red-eyed undead was discovered in Costal, the nearest city to the "Emarina Grand Wilderness", known as one of the world's leading demons.

According to the Adventurers Guild, the platinum- and gold-class adventurers confronted each other, but failed to pass through any attack, making it an unknown undead. He was eaten by a catastrophic monster Taras Road that was approaching Kostahl, but surprisingly, he broke through a hard armor and escaped.

But then somehow he disappeared. There was no damage to Kostahl.

The Adventurer Alliance tentatively named this undead after its creepy smile that shook the adventurers.

Furthermore, the Royal Government insists that the risk should be designated as "catastrophic" and in some cases "catastrophic", but since there is still no specific damage, the Royal Government is cautious.

"We were just lucky to be saved," said Barda, the guild leader of the Adventurers Guild Costal, one of the men who confronted the undead. That undead will destroy humanity whenever he wants to. "

"Keh, was it true that it was in the paper this morning...?

I fight.

... no, I'm not sure yet.

Perhaps a normal young man is dyeing his hair white, or maybe his red eyes are dyed in some special way.

And at that time.

Come on.

"This horrible smile!? As it was written in the newspaper...!

Laughing Reaper.

He had a smile that made the seer tremble from the bottom of his soul, worthy of his name.

The next moment, I was aggressively holding it.

Later on, I think it was rather an extremely dangerous act, but I was probably very upset by the fear at this time.

What I directed at the Reaper was a magic gun.

It is a compact and lightweight magic tool with excellent portability, and is used as a protective device when a commercial enemy is aiming for life.

Recently, magic pistols have considerably improved their power and accuracy due to development competition, and have enough lethality to kill as many orcs as they can.

Normally, the Oak Crusade that the Bronze Adventurer needs is only possible by pulling the trigger even for a man like me who has no combat experience, so the advances in magic technology are incredible.

Pahhh!

A bullet was fired along with a bursting sound in his ear.

Of course, I couldn't see the ballistics, but I was sure I'd punched through the opponent's eyebrows.

Even so, I'm confident in my shooting skills.

……

However, the Reaper is holding his forehead down slightly and tilting his neck.

There is no scratch between the eyebrows.

I'm going to be killed...

I was ready to die.

If we hadn't done anything, we might still have missed it.

But I must have attacked myself.

And I don't want to die...!

I still have something to do.

I have to develop the Chamber of Commerce more, and I still have a lot to teach my son, who is going to take over from me.

Bluoooooooooooooo!

I don't want to die. With that heart, I stepped into the accelerator with all my heart.

The car is accelerating fast!

I was playing Reaper.

But I let the car explode.

People rush away.

Oh, you're not coming after me...?

I glanced backwards from the frightened side mirror.

Then he stood up as if nothing had happened, and looked at me like a reaper.

Come on.

"Hyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?

I instinctively understood the meaning of that smile.

- It's no use trying to escape, I'll kill you until the end of the earth.

"I hate it... I don't want to die! I can't die yet!

I cried like a wasting child, and felt warm things spreading through my groin, and I kept stepping on the accelerator with the feeling of straw.

◇ ◇ ◇

Sounds like something burst.

Then suddenly, a stone-like object was fired from an unfamiliar L-shaped object that a fat man pointed at me.

That's going straight into my eyebrows.

……

What the hell was that?

I was tilting my neck.

Bluoooooooooooooo!

The roar echoed, and the mysterious carriage suddenly started moving.

The corner collides with my hips, and I'm thrown away.

Of course it didn't hurt or itch, but it's dangerous to start suddenly.

Probably, but the man inside is manipulating it.

You don't have to apologize for that, but you're running away at great speed.

But, well, I'm not so small as to be so angry.

... but now it's undead.

The people around me are paying attention to me with worrying faces.

I smiled to appeal to them that they were intact.

Come on.

"" "Hyi!?

Is that it?

Why did they all pull their faces back one step later?

Then someone shook and shouted.

"Ha, gray hair, red eyes... no way, from the newspaper...?

"Oh, I read it too...? It's the Reaper who laughs...!

That's when I realize that my hat is falling at my feet.

I wonder if the stone fell off when it hit between the eyebrows or when it was bounced off afterwards.

Still, it's Shinbu again.

That's what the fat man said earlier, but I don't know about hate.

"I'll be killed!?

"Nh, run!

When someone runs out screaming like that, one after the other people run away with the screams.

"Well, wait... oh, I'm... I'm not a suspicious guy..."

I tried desperately to complain, but I couldn't do anything about the situation anymore.

Still, I can't believe you're so scared with your gray hair and red eyes...

Moreover, some of them reacted as if they had seen it beforehand.

"Has the information been passed on to this city...? But how the hell did you... move faster than I did?

Having said that, I have heard that there is magic in moving to a distant place in an instant.

A wizard who could use it might have accidentally traveled between the two cities.

"... in any case, I'm not going into this city anymore."
