Hyaku Ma No Aruji

The day is Jomtien.

The winds of the eastern continent, which cover the cheeks, are dry.

The sparse, short-grazed, wilderness and wilderness horizons continued all the way to the front of the field of vision.

Sometimes I could see nature like mountains, forests and lakes on the left and right, but I didn't get in front of that group of horses as if I were trying to get in the way of a line.

A line of demon kings caught in the running of the times.

They were following the path to Lemuse, clinging to a slight breeze in the backflow.

It was not until the first morning of their departure from the Principality of Neus-Gaus that they encountered "a certain being".

Before morning there is dawn, and before dawn there is night.

Before they arrived at the encounter, they were first at night.

◆ ◆ ◆

The first night I crossed near the water.

It is beside a small lake accumulation, made in the middle of a flowing river.

Rich vegetation was formed in the area, which became fertile by inhaling sufficient moisture.

If it's in the desert, is it just a body called Oasis?

Slightly further away from the pedestrian streets where pedestrians have been treading with blood and sweat every day since ancient times.

It was not a wild land at all because some traces of people stepping in were seen, but it was quite a convenient place from the demon kings who wanted to hide themselves to the extent that they were not too far from the path and not too close to the path again, so to speak, too unnatural.

While several were taking turns as watchdogs, each was purifying the fatigue accumulated on an early journey, along with sleep.

"Merea, are you awake?

"I'm awake. What are you gonna do with the watch asleep, Salman?"

In the meantime, there was a person with eyes open with a small light, a short distance from the other demon kings who devoured their sleep.

Two.

One was sitting with his back to the big tree beside him and the other was slowly walking over there.

- It is Merea and Salman.

"Just kidding. - At times like this, don't you wonder how you should speak first?

Lights - the fire was burning slightly.

It's not a normal fire, by the way.

"Life Fire", "Life Flame".

In other words, it is a strange fire created by that [Flaming Emperor] Lilium.

The lights illuminating Merea's face were chunks of fire a little smaller in size than her fists, sitting a bit at Merea's feet without a source of fire.

The flames that lived the life of the Flaming Emperor were truly strange and more convenient than anything else.

You don't have to add firewood to keep burning because you rely on her intrinsic manipulators for fuel.

Besides, when I feel signs around me, etc., I throw myself to the nearby waterfront to hide myself from myself.

Thin hands and feet grow in every flickering flame, and when they come running to the water early enough, they retreat as if they were hesitant only once, but eventually throw themselves. Ju, the flame of life quenches the fire, along with the petty sound of

Salman reacted when he stopped by Merea, and even then the little flames of life that were at Merea's feet were over raw.

"Hey, you know what? And then I'm gonna be so sorry."

"Stop, don't say it.... I'm gonna cry."

That's how life flames cast on the mundane claps, so there were spare life flames waiting narrowly in the holes I dug to hide under the bushes, so that when the one disappeared, the other would come out of it.

The way we waited for our turn now or now was somewhat adorable, but on the other hand made the beholder sad.

"I wish I was back in the hole, not by the water..."

"They choose the one nearby...... And then when the amount of sperm left in your body is decreasing, you choose a flashy scatter that just blooms the last hua."

You're a samurai.

Salman pinched his fingers between his eyebrows to show them how to reduce the headache.

By the way, that's how Lilium herself sees the little flames of life throwing herself into the water.

He was laughing.

"Lilium looked like a demon"

I was grinning with my belly.

She made it herself, and I don't know she's imposing orders like that on life flames.

We also know the correctness of the order.

But when Melea and Salman saw Lillium laughing that she wanted to enjoy herself when she saw the flames throwing her life out into the lake.

"Me, I thought I'd stop defying Lilium"

"Probably nothing strange for Lilium, who has grown up with the flame of life since childhood... I guess it's more of an entertainment thing that uses my own technique well..."

And when Merea answered with a half laugh, Salman walked over next to it and was equally lowered back.

While Melea welcomes Salman, she realizes that a good scent blurred her nasal cavity.

Turning his gaze to Salman again wondering what the scent was, Salman was holding two golden cups in his hand.

The good smell seemed to rise out of that cup.

"Look at this golden cup. Best hobby ever."

"Don't get cancer drifting with a good smell of metal that you don't even try to hide"

When Salman offered Melea one gold cup while saying so, Melea received the cup with a bitter smile and an answer.

Life flames add a hint of light to the night book, and a golden cup reflects the light.

It felt like a piece of traveling clothes, and there was a fantastic atmosphere, but the atmosphere was halved because of the flames of life on the hands and feet that began to flex at the feet.

Merea glanced through the glass she had received from Salman and wondered what was in it.

"Sweet smell and sour smell"

"Oh, say Camille Lemonade. It's a drink from a city I've lived in for a particularly long time. Cocktail the city's specialty Camille with the common lemonade - which is quite sour - and end with a little bit of medicine."

"Humph."

"As the name suggests, Camille is a fruit liquor made from fruit, but that's a little too sweet. It's fine to open one as a souvenir, but it's just as persistent for the local people who use it all the time. So this is how you mix acidity and blend it into all sorts of flavors"

"Well, that's exciting."

"Ha, I told you I lived here a long time. So, Neus-Gaus told me. I saw it a little when I was looking, so I bought it for a lot of money. - Will you shut the fuck up about Kim's deceased?

Salman laughed as he soaked his sandy hair into the night breeze, sipping a bite earlier, containing Camille Lemonade in her mouth, which she put in her own gold cup.

Merea looked at it sideways, but never put her mouth on the gold cup herself.

"Sweet - Ah! Sour!"

"Hahaha! I want yours to be more sour!

"You're no different than Lilium!

"It's worse to be alert. - Oh, this is an imitation of the gold deceased. 'Cause I never said it, but I think I'm gonna say it."

Salman was tearfully acting and slapping Merea on the shoulder.

Merea stuck her mouth to the sourness, but realized that its Camille lemonade had a wonderful (yummy) taste that she couldn't stop, and once again included it in her mouth.

Sweetness and acidity.

Sweetness relieves and purifies body fatigue, and acidity causes the sweetness to go with the heat to the body's blush.

Ho, and a warm breath leaked naturally.

"What do you say, you get used to it, it's good, right?

"I don't deny it"

"You're not being honest."

Salman laughed again.

"What about everyone else?

"It's neat. You were all tired."

Salman pointed at the back of the standing trees with his jaw.

I can't see the whole thing because of the terrain and the plants, but apparently there are other demon kings sleeping well on the other side of it.

If you clear your ears, you may hear one or so of the sleeping breaths mixed with the cool chorus of worms.

But Merea believed Salman's words, so she didn't dare to go and see what was going on.

Instead, he throws words at Salman himself, who tells him so.

"What about Salman?

"I slept well enough. Thanks to you for keeping an eye on me. So, take turns. Go to sleep, too."

"- I don't have to sleep. That's how it's done."

"Apparently. If you look at it, you'll make it."

Salman laughs bitterly at the words Merea manages to say. And I didn't deny it either.

"But it's not like you don't have to sleep at all, is it?

"Well - yeah. Don't get tired just the day after day."

"Then reset that number of days in the meantime. So far, there's no sign of a chase, and we're good."

Merea watched from that look whether Salman could really rest.

If I was going to remain a little tired, I was going to keep myself on watch.

But Salman has no sign of giving way in Salman.

If it is as originally planned, it will be the muscles (jibs) that will take turns for the most part.

After all, Merea didn't see the color of tiredness on Salman's face, so she decided to follow his words.

"Okay. Well, I guess I'll get some sleep, too."

"Oh, do that"

"Well, yes, this"

Then Merea handed Salman a gold cup that somehow completely drank the contents, with one hand, and a small branch that she had in the other.

It is a strangely shaped branch with leaves of trees wrapped around the tip like dough.

"I can forget time when I flinch with the flames of life. If they burn the leaf dough on the tip, you lose."

"You're a genius to come up with strange games."

"If you put too much on that, the watch will be off."

If Merea imitates Salman as much as she did earlier, she sends a deliberate tribute as she imitates the merchant atmosphere of Shaw.

"Not so much. - Oh, but this is pretty fun. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

While Salman received it, he was quickly competing with the flames of life at his feet, using a gold cup with Camille Lemonade in one hand and a special branch of Merea in the other.

When you point the tip with the leaf dough at the life flame, the life flame stretches out your hands and feet and jumps to burn its leaves.

It was as if I could flinch with a cat because I was a cat.

"... but this guy also threw himself out by the water -"

"Stop making me feel sad before I go to bed"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

I laughed in Salman's face. At that moment the leaves had been burned by the flames of life.

Merea saw how it went. At the end of the day, she had a fun laugh,

"Bye, good night"

"Whoa, good things to rest."

We proceeded to the back of the bush where everyone was resting.

Salman was dropping off Merea's back as he twisted his new leaves to the tip of the branch.

But when Merea's back went blind, Fu Salman stopped that hand and gave her a thoughtful look.

……

Salman felt a strange twist on Merea's back.

I showed so much overwhelming presence on the battlefield, but somehow its back seemed to blend into the air now.

I don't know why.

But that was very much a concern for Salman.

At last, Merea's back disappears from her sight, and she can't even hear the footsteps trampling the earth.

Only the sound of a cool bug heard from the back of the bush and the flaming flames of life heard from his feet and the sound of being able to play were beginning to sound idle on the spot.

◆ ◆ ◆

Night books are up, early in the morning.

It is still time for the scent of dawn.

One girl woke up quicker than anyone else and stood quietly to keep the other demon kings awake.

The girl who powerfully supported the journey to the Principality of Neus-Gaus with her peculiar technique.

It is a red-haired "Flaming Emperor" Lilium.

She had begun walking to the water alone in a quiet foothold in the morning light as she slipped through the gaps in the trees.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Salman."

"Oh, you're the best"

Next to a large standing tree near the water.

A man with sandy hair sat down.

He is a young man with quite neat eyebrows.

"Well, maybe I'm a little blind,"

"It's been a long morning."

"It's okay, 'cause I praised it in my heart"

"Just talk to me..."

Measure the distance as we tap each other lightly.

Nevertheless, I feel the distance between demon kings has come a long way since I left the Duchy of Neus-Gaus.

and Lilium noticed that a strangely shaped branch was gripped at Salman's disposal, who had returned the words as fed up.

"What, it"

"Ah? - Oh, this was made by Melea. Tools to deflect with your life flames."

So Salman immediately confronted the flame of life at his feet and let him demonstrate how to deflect.

Salman was also a lot used to his life flame opponents, and each other continued to fight back and forth.

"Hmm. - I don't know, 'that guy'. It's about to run out of fuel, so I'm gonna disappear."

"Ah!? Are you serious?!? - Oh, hey! This guy is my lifetime rival!? Some other guys dive to the waterfront, some of them got too motivated and disappeared in dirt, and a lot of trouble!? But this guy has just as much power with me, and I pinched my break and fisted him over and over again!! This guy is no longer my friend! I can't believe it disappeared."

"Oh, I'm out"

"Ah!!"

Sh, and.

With a lighter sound than when he jumped into the water and disappeared, the flames of life that were at Salman's feet disappeared.

I was blown by a gap breeze that poured in from among the trees, and I wondered if it wobbled, and it was gone.

Shortly after, Lilium found tears in Salman's eyes,

"Oh, hey, what, I'm scared"

Let him be deliberately hissed.

"Oh, stop, stop! That guy was still alive...!

"Ahhh...... well, I don't even know what it feels like. But I get used to it."

As soon as he did, Salman was stunned when he saw Lilium's face.

Because I get used to it, Lilium's face at the moment she said was as faceless as she tried to kill her emotions.

Salman saw it and realized it.

"Well... you were actually sad too... You know, when I saw the flames of life that I was throwing at you, I couldn't stop being a girl."

"Well, now I'm finding it funny."

"I knew you were a demon!

"Okay, so just go back over there. It's still going to take a little while for everyone to wake up and get some sleep."

Lilium reached out to Salman, pulling Salman's body, who grabbed that hand, and then waved to get rid of him sissy.

"I'll take the watch, see, what the hell?"

"Kuh, my goodbye to the flames of life will be spared."

Setting aside such a throwaway dialogue, Salman walked to everyone.

The remaining lililium stared at the other flames of life that remained in the digged holes,

"Obnoxious. See you next time."

To put it small, I watched them run out of fuel and disappear into the sky until the end.

◆ ◆ ◆

Lilium was washing her face lightly by the nearby waterfront after Salman returned to everyone, then dropping her hair.

I just can't take a bath in the water, but for one thing it's minimal.

The water itself is so clear and beautiful that there's a desire to jump in.

"If anyone comes along the way, that's it."

Even if it's on your side to come, it sucks if you're a man.

"Uh, but show me out, maybe I'll be okay with Melea or something"

It doesn't mean you can never be seen.

However, compared to other men, Melea felt the air as a man was somewhat thin, so she got that thought.

I mean, it might be okay, in that it might not work when you're out of the picture.

Well, that's not a compliment.

Let's not tell him in person. I thought so.

That's how Lilium dropped the glow in the water for a while, and then finally one paragraph and a face.

Because of the long hair, the shavings fall on the clothes when water is used while facing forward. So he was washing his hair as he looked down, keeping his face and gaze off to the water.

That's how I finally showed my face,

"Hmm."

When you exhale the finished breath and return your gaze to the front,

"Gaw"

A huge black mass appeared in my sight.

――

Lilium almost screamed unexpectedly.

I don't know when they got close, but they separated the little waterfront just across the street.

There was a black dragon.
