◇[Eve Speed]◇
What's the difference with life?
Eve Speed asked.
Erica Anaorobael looks up at the ceiling and answers.
I think I managed to make it in time.
Eve was in the basement floor of Erica and the witch's house.
This is a place you can't get in without Erica.
Lisbeth - Lisbeth was here too.
Now Liz is in the warehouse room.
And a room on the upper floor... a room once used by Eve's benefactors.
Right there, Higiri Takao is asleep.
My sister, Itsuki Takao, has always accompanied my sister.
However, after the condition stabilized, I was relieved and fell asleep once.
When they saw that they were asleep, Eve and the others moved to the basement.
You don't have to worry about what you're talking about here.
Yes, it is a consideration that you should not know about "him" for the time being.
"I think it takes time to recover, but I think fate was avoided."
What about your eyesight?
"At the moment, nothing." I might or might not go back. ”
"But... poison."
Hmm, Eve roars.
Erica regrouped her legs in frustration,
"For a long time, poisons have been tightly controlled in various countries." At the same time, with the passage of time, the knowledge of detoxification has been lost... even learning is prohibited. But, well... that's the "rule" laid down by the Sex Goddess to monopolize and use the knowledge and research of poisons, right?
Eve remembers what she had heard from Cyrus before.
A group of witchcraft assistants who fought in the past.
Assint had a special unit called the Curse Warrior.
They are said to have succeeded the will of the once-existing Assassin's Guild.
They say the "curse" they used was a poison from the Assassin's Guild.
"It seems that the assassin's guild was uprooted by a hero from another world, according to a man named Muazi of Assinto." At that time, the heroes crushed the guilds all over the continent, and the guild officials were thoroughly wiped out afterwards. So the existence of the Assassin's Guild was forgotten... Muazi said at that time that it was like the rampage of the heroes who had lost their "enemies"...... "
Is Eve seeing to it that it was done on the will of Vissis?
”Hmm... if you want to monopolize the knowledge of poisons, you can only stand in the way of the poison and its knowledgeable assassin's guild”
"... then, even the children of the" dim place "may be the source of the survival of the assassin's guild."
A clandestine group that deals in insider information.
Commonly known as "dim places".
Seras knew how to get information from them.
They told me that when they came to Monroe, they gave me some information.
(Hmm... it may be that these people have a background in trying to hide their existence too much...)
I felt a lot of things were connected.
”Nevertheless... Vissis also used a sieve of poison.”
Erica sits on her cheek stick.
"Even then, the ingredients for the antidote were scarce, so in this day and age, there is hardly any antidote to that poison." It's a substitute for serum..... "
But here, there was the antidote.
"Well, Erica is very careful with her poison research." Since Erica was treated as such, there was also a risk of being poisoned by people who were depressed... and there were times when people who wanted to fight in court were secretly consulted about poisoning. "
Oh dear, Erica shrugs her shoulders.
Assassination with poison.
In a sense, it may be a more terrifying means of using weapons or violence.
"That's why there are antidote materials for all kinds of poisons stored here." Fortunately, it wasn't a new kind of poison. Because then, I wouldn't have been able to prepare it right away. ”
When Higiri was brought in, Erica moved really quickly.
She immediately instructed the golems to investigate the type of poison.
Eve wondered if it was something she could look into normally.
However, Erica spotted the type of poison and immediately prepared the antidote.
Even so, there's nothing you can do about the poison of ah... ah... ah...
Yeah, that's a good one.
Erica raised her hands lightly as if she were surrendering.
"That 'poison' of Toka is something else than poison in the first place." Perhaps paralysis or sleep is also a derivation of the abnormal series of ceremonies or casting spells... but in that system, it's a grant rate that is completely unmatched in the past--that's why it's abnormal, that abnormal state skill. It's out of the box, as he says. "
Toka Mimori's abilities---speaking of "abnormal state skill in the hazing frame".
Eve was also helped by that powerful force.
At the same time, I once again realized the horror of "skill".
I can see why other worldly heroes are used, including in the past.
And then--
Eve looked up with her arms crossed.
"Those sisters have a special ability similar to Toka."
Eve also saw Itsuki's abilities.
Incidentally, before Eve met her sister yesterday, she was looking for something.
Once upon a time, Erica used to "drop things" outside the barrier.
He dropped it on his way in here.
The dropped object was a magic tool.
Eve listened to the story.
All right, let's find it.
I asked so myself.
Initially, Erica declined, but she said she would look for it after she had made sure she was safe.
As for Eve, she was also afraid that her conjecture on the battlefield would be dull.
If I'm too accustomed to living here, I feel like I'll lose my temper.
I intend to take on the role of defending this place when I have to.
I got a peaceful life with Liz.
However, the power to protect it must not be maintained.
Grind your fangs even after a peaceful day.
One of the things I've learned while spending time with Toka.
Anyway---that's why Eve was hiding out on the ground looking for something.
At first, I felt uncomfortable.
And that sense of discomfort changed into a sense of crisis.
Lots of corpses (stinking).
I found a large number of golden-eyed monsters dead.
Which one is it?
Eve couldn't tell.
For a moment, I wondered if the tokas were back.
But it may be different.
It could be a threat, not an ally.
If it's a threat - we need to check it out and come back to discuss a response.
Yes, those who wanted the forbidden witch.
Eve carefully approached "there" for reconnaissance.
It was the sisters who encountered them.
"Those sisters..."
Eve opens her mouth again.
"I heard that you were aiming for Erica... I don't think you have the map, but you came pretty close on your own." When I found it, it was worn out. "
Erica also looked up at the ceiling.
But at least it's strong enough to sweep the golden eye out here.
"It seems that my sister is at the highest level as a brave person." It looks like you bought Toka as a person. What do you think of those sisters? "
"If my sister were to take control of this house, she'd be able to do it... well, maybe." I mean, it's like the assassin that Vissis sent in to dive into Erica's pocket -- no, I don't think that's true. "
Erica added, "It would be too shoddy if we were to do something about it.
Unless the antidote has it.
However, the odds of dying before being discovered are overwhelmingly higher.
Even though Eve found it, it's a real coincidence.
"I was retracting my bow to the goddess." What do you think about that, Erica? "
"It doesn't look like you're lying to me."
Eve took a deep breath.
I wish I had Cyrus.
"I see. It's really useful to be able to tell if it's true or false... if Erica has an empty Sylphigea, I'd like to sign a contract."
Eve was far from spirit-related.
But I think that's a totally convenient ability.
Well, Erica draws her conclusions.
"For the time being, let's treat it as an ally." If I hadn't met Eve in the past, I think Erica would have shown quite a bit of difficulty bringing her here. "
That's right.
Eve had encountered the Takao sisters in the past in this demon band.
Was there a girl named Kobato Kasima besides her sisters at that time?
I wasn't too vigilant because I knew each other.
"I was listening to the character reviews of that sister Toka." Maybe it was Toka who decided not to say bad things. "
"Then... in a way, that sister might have been saved by Toka..."
; and
"Um, Erika-sama... I made it."
Liz was holding the basin and came out of another room.
Erica lifted her hips.
"Oh? Thank you, Liz."
Liz came to the table and placed the basin on the table.
There were various things on the basin.
Powder divided into subdivisions.
Liquids in thin vials, etc.
"Um... can you check it for me?"
Of course.
While Erica is raising her hips, she bends forward to check for leaks on the basin.
It seems to confirm the transparency and color of the liquid.
Eventually, Erica raised her face in a bent forward position.
Liz
Huh, yes.
"Almost perfect."
Pah, Liz's expression shines.
"--Oh, thank you! Glad to hear it!"
Recently, Liz has been taught how to make medicine by Erica.
If that were the case today, she and Liz would come forward with a conciliator.
It also tells me that I really enjoy watching it.
That's why I've been trying to make Eve do it lately.
By the way, it seems that this concoction is for the jitters that are sleeping on the floor.
"Nevertheless....."
Erica grabs the vial and narrows her eyes.
"Liz is a normal talent..."
"Oh, is that so...?"
”The fine adjustments are so exquisite... maybe that's better than Erica, who's a little slower.”
"Well, maybe because it's similar to measuring the amount of food and seasoning... I like cooking..."
Mio, Erika is a thread.
"Erica was cooking... so I wonder if I could teach Liz to cook next time..."
Eve throats with pride for some reason.
"Fufu, Liz's cooking was also a favorite of Toka and Seras... and I'm not bored with Liz's cooking either."
The ingredients here are limited.
However, thanks to Liz's ingenuity, there is a rich dining experience.
"Toka-sama, Cyrus-sama... I'd like to see Piggy Maru and Sulei again..."
With a nostalgic look on her face, Liz grabbed her little fingertips.
For that time, I want to keep my cooking skills sharp.
"---You 're really good, Erica. I'm going to cry."
And then Liz's expression changed.
She tries to say something.
It had an atmosphere that seemed a bit difficult to say.
Liz squinted her mouth, and Eve gently urged her.
"I always say... if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask." There is no one in this house who denies Liz's curiosity or concern. ”
"I see? It's like a family now, so don't hold back." It's the same with the Dark Elves.
"Ah, um... well then... the Takao-san who was here the other day, Toka-sama..."
Liz seemed to be worried too.
Hmm. Like Toka, with other worldly heroes.
Before you go down to the basement,
I don't think I'm a bad person.
That's what he said, so he wasn't scared.
A hero of a different world ― ― a different world
Erica murmured.
"Another world with a different civilization and culture than the one inhabited by my concubines... I'm sure there's a lot of plants and minerals that aren't here." It was the same with Toka, but it's the mountains that I want to hear about their world from those sisters..... "
Erica shrugged her shoulders.
I knew there was something about 'woe'.
There are implicitly close rules in this world.
"Do not try to find out about a world where there were other worldly heroes."
"Evil will surely come upon those who know too much."
It is a legend from ancient times.
In the past, there were people who tried to know excessively about the "other side of the world".
After all, there is a different world.
It is strange not to be swayed by curiosity.
But they all came to a miserable end.
It's like -- that's what destiny is all about.
As expected, the number of "coincidences" made it so.
Eve stared at her face in the silver basin.
A lesson or a warning… The trail of someone who knows too much about the "other side of the world" in the past is carefully recorded.
"I was convinced that Erica was serious about this misfortune," when I knew that even that Visis was avoiding knowing as much as possible about the "other side of the world." I want to monopolize and use the knowledge of the "other world", so I thought that Vissis was listening to "woe"... even that greedy and corrupt goddess would avoid it-- "
On the contrary, the credibility has greatly increased.
"Well, there are people who don't believe that...... it's just dangerous to" know too much ", and it seems that the surnames, names, unique names and words, cultures, and dishes from the old heroes of other worlds usually have room to spare." I mean... it feels like there's a distinction between what you can know and what you can't. "
“I think it's safe to know about food and drink.”
Eve actually has food from other worlds in her mouth.
The preparation methods of the other world, which are said to have been left by heroes from other worlds, still remain.
By the way, it's Erica.
Hey?
"You're going to tell Torka about the sisters, right?"
"There's no reason to hide it." That said..... "
Erica added that the problem was that there was no demon in the vicinity to tell them about it.
Eve still doesn't know what's going on around here.
Erica sighs.
"Previously... I had my demons waiting near the door of the endless kingdom to wait for the tokas." But that demon was eaten and killed by wild animals. As a backup, I sent a demonic user who was relatively close by. I knew you were right to have a spare. "
But somehow, the spare demon was shot dead.
Erica's nose was abhorrently wrinkled.
"That sigil is an Aryan cavalry soldier... it looks like the words I heard just before my consciousness was broken, and I shot it half funny." Of course, I didn't know you were a forbidden witch's demon. "
So, the demon near that area disappeared.
Erica adds, "I'm already on my way to the next one."
"Given the distance, it takes quite a few days to arrive. Then perhaps the tokens are already on the move.”
Eve regrouped her arms.
"By the time the demons arrive in the most exhausted country, there is a possibility that they will no longer be there." And when they arrive, if the door is closed... I can't even contact the people of the endless country and ask where the Torkas are going. "
In other words, we are currently unable to grasp the movement of the tokas.
Erica's expression was stronger there.
"I just can't get in touch with the tokas. I've been concerned before."
Hmm, Eve agrees.
You think you're on your way to the ends of the kingdom and you're an Aryan cavalryman?
Yeah. If I finally got the goddess, I don't know if she's there, then maybe I'll go in.
"If the Tokas are in the most exhausted country, then there could be an all-out war between the Tokas and the most exhausted..."
"Onii-chan..."
Liz, sitting next to her, looked up at Eve anxiously.
"Toka-sama... it's okay, right?"
Eve replied with an irresistible smile.
"Fufu, but... this is a strange thing." If that is indeed the case, it may be a critical situation for the most endangered countries. But with that Toka... even in that critical situation, I feel like it's going to bounce back with the best possible results. "
Um... is that right?
Erica also agreed to this.
"Well... surely I feel like Toka can handle any situation." Is it dependable or trustworthy? But I definitely don't want to turn it against that kind of enemy... just think about it and you'll get fucked. "
The response I gave earlier also meant that I wanted to reassure Liz.
However, for Eve, it was by no means a desire to stay strong.
"If it's Toka, it should lead to a bad outcome."
A human comrade who spent a short but dense time together.
Moreover, there was also a noble and brilliant high elf princess knight.
There were even dexterous slimes and brave black horse beasts.
Eve had a nostalgia for something.
That's right - the Kono Battlegroup (we) are strong.
Eve says with confidence.
"If you talk to Toka about your sister... she'll give you a definite guide."
Hehe, Erica throws her upper body out on the table.
"Erica, it's useless if you can only help Toka."
"Fufu... I won't be so despicable." It would be best to ask for Toka's instructions on the sister's case. "
"Well, when it comes to the case of a hero from a different world... I'm sure it's difficult to make a decision here." First of all, let's pray that the next demon you use will meet... that's why... I'm tired of using the demon to move my concubine... Erica will concentrate on the demon you use... can you leave the basics to Eve and Liz? "
"Yes! I'll do my best"
Um, I'll take care of it.
Alright, Erica gets up and adds to her temper.
"I'm far away from the tokas..."
Erica put her hand on her thin, twisted waist.
“Erica and the others are Erica, let's do what we can.”
