"- So, as a mercenary, you say you're going to get into the Confederacy of the Holy Union?
Erica, who heard the story, had a frightened face.
After that, me and Sellas visited Erica's room right away.
When we talk about the situation,
"Erica doesn't have the right to stop... sane?
I wasn't stopped, but my sanity was questioned.
"It's possible to rendezvous with the Confederate Army if we go through the northern demonic belt, right?
"Sort of. Besides... it seems that the armies of the countries participating in the Confederate Army are aiming for Sinad, the king's capital of Magnal, so there can be enough mercenaries to recruit in Sinad. Given the current speed of movement of the Nair army and the distance from Sinad, certainly, if we get out of here through the Northern Demon Belt, we might make it"
A fire of hope lights Sellas' face.
He looked at me with relief.
♪ There's nothing we can't do in time ♪
A contraindicated witch familiar with the demon belt says:
"But that's only if we can get out of it."
"You think the problem isn't time?
Warm lamp lights illuminate the side of Erica.
Erica's expression showed difficulty.
It's probably not just because of the angle of light that her expression shows in the shade.
"Through the northern demon belt, that's the problem."
Alas on the bed and Erica puts her fingers up.
"You're from Ursa. In other words, it was the Southern Demon Belt that came through."
What does Erica want to say?
Perhaps,
"Different intensities of demons in the north and south?
"Correct. There's a bunch of vicious ones up north."
The relief that was on Cellas' face begins to shake.
"There are theories as to why, but Erica thinks it's simply because it's the area closest to the source of the underlying evil. So, a powerful demon ruled out a weaker demon than himself from the territory... so maybe the result is a distribution like now? It's just an inference."
"Well, Lord Erica... from the east, or from the west, the hand of roundabout..."
"Then the main forces will hit each other before you arrive. I mean, we're not gonna make it."
"... ugh."
I throw Erica an inquisitive gaze.
"What other means of joining the Confederate Army by the due date besides through the northern demonic belt?
Erica flattering her shoulders.
"Too bad, I can't think of any"
"Then we'll have to join the Confederates through the north..."
Sellas puzzles me with one word.
"But Lord Toka..."
"If Sellas doesn't even change his mind, there's no change in policy. If the obstacle is a demon - it's all just getting rid of it."
"With Toka's abnormal state skills, it might not be impossible."
Erica says.
"From what I've heard, Toka can also play against the group. He's knocking that soul-eater down too... he needs caution in battle, but overestimating his enemies can make that a missed opportunity. It's certainly not a good idea to be too scared of demons in the Northern Demon Belt."
and Erica stood up and opened the drawer on the shelf.
Inside it was packed with round cylindrical parchment.
When you take one of them, Erica spreads it on the table.
"It's a map of the Northern Demon Belt, based on information gathered with the eyes of the demon."
The three of us peek in.
I had heard that mapping of the demonic belt was impossible.
but did the contraindicated witch make it possible?
I point to a part of the map.
"What about this line?
"It's a route that could be used as a passage. Some of the areas where large demons have moved in flocks have become familiar with the terrain, making it easier to move around."
"Erica."
I raised my gaze.
"You mean you're bothering to write down a route like that... and eventually you're thinking about getting out of here too?
Erica returns her gaze.
"Even if we could leave, it would be nearly a hundred years away."
I was curious how to say it.
"It's like you can't leave this place for nearly a hundred years."
Cellas makes a face of something.
No, rather......
The blurry anticipation came close to certainty.
"Lord Erica made a covenant with some kind of spirit...?
- Sort of.
With both hands on the table, Erica replied with affirmation.
"On his way here, Sellas saw a build-up of magic vegetables at the bottom of the lake?
"Yeah, yeah."
"Renouledo, who lives in this Holy Spirit Tree, is the Spirit... the Spirit who lives in the field. Instead of protecting this place from the hands of humans and demons, Erica has asked me to use Renault's magic for research and experimentation."
I hear the elves are a race that doesn't like manipulating magic vegetables.
Both the amount produced and the amount stored are inferior to those of humans.
On the other hand, experiments such as demonic conductors require large amounts of demonic vegetables.
So the contradictory witch chose ”here”.
"My concubine is also blessed with her magic-related qualities for dark elves... but I have to say that this experiment with this magic guide designed by Erica Anaorobael is too much."
"The Only Unique Spirit that Generates Magic Vegetables... I've read the legend in old literature, but I didn't know it existed..."
"I'm so shy, Renouledo's been erasing signs... that's a high elf. You felt it, didn't you?
"The spirits were so rare... the remnants of the spirits who were once here or something"
"Erica."
Interrupt into the conversation, and I'll get one confirmation.
"You're just not gonna leave here? Or are you leaving (...), (...), (...), (...), (...), (...)?
Put down a beat, Erica answers.
"The latter."
I see.
Cellas continues at the rate of reconfirmation.
"Lord Erica has a" stay "pact in this area... and instead, you can exercise Renouledo's power, right?
Sigh Erica.
"That sort of thing. So I'm sorry, but I can't accompany you."
"Never mind, Lord Erica. I just wanted to show you a map of the easy way to get there, but thank you."
Observe Erica's condition.
He looked a little awkward.
And so we gently finished considering the route.
"I'll give you this."
Erica gave me a map.
"Are you sure?
"Use it as you please. But as you can see, this map isn't perfect either. No overconfidence."
When Erica poured the water in the silver cup, she drank it away.
Wipe your mouth and say.
"By tomorrow morning, I'll think about something I might be able to support over here. So let's talk about it again tomorrow."
▽
Early in the morning, I visited Erica's room.
but was absent.
So... is that the lab?
Move, pass the ladder through the example door and descend below.
When you get off,
Gacha, kacha, dosa.
I heard something.
Turn your gaze towards the sound.
... from that room?
When I opened the door, it was a big room there.
Bigger than that room that tried to enhance the piggy circle.
Unlike the lab, the temperature was cool.
However, although the room itself is spacious......
So much stuff to the detriment of the breadth.
Could it be a crap warehouse packed with demon belt pickups?
The key Erica was sticking her upper body into a mountain loaded with clutter.
Looks like we're looking for something.
"Oh, dear."
Erica greets me in the morning with her glutes shown here.
"Morning, noon and evening and landscapes and environments change because you don't lose your sense of time?
"I know you don't. - So, what can I do for you?
"I wanted to talk to you two lightly. Cellas is sleeping on [Sleep] right now."
Slip, Slop, Slop...
I retreated like a cat that lagged back, and Erica came out.
"What's the story?
"Firstly, about why I became no more cooperative"
"I'm sorry."
It was words of apology that popped out of Erica's mouth.
... Sounds like I got a quick guess of what you're talking about.
"After we heard about joining the Confederate Army, did you become cooperative because of guilt?
Both hands up, Erica posing as a surrender.
"... it was a detour to tell the story of the princess of the Holy Nation of Nair. I'm happily traveling with you right now, so I thought you were distinguished from the past."
When we talked about the princess, Erica showed the color of reflection that she might have been insensitive.
"Was Sellas' reaction different from his imagination?"
"Because... if you look like that, everyone will know the strength of Cellas' thoughts. It looks like Cellas was gonna hide it, but he's not hiding it at all."
Sellas' act had also been seen through by Erica.
"So I thought Erica was bad, too, so I didn't sleep -"
"I know. Besides... Sellas should have been many times better than to know after everything. In short... I've come to thank you. I'm glad it turned out that you told Selas about Nair's princess. I was a little surprised you didn't try to stop us at all."
"Because the atmosphere showed that it was useless to stop. I thought it was my duty to explain the difficulty of crossing the Northern Demon Belt."
Erica pays for the dust on her torso.
"and well... that's why, as I said last night, as Erica, I'm going to do everything I can to support you"
Then Erica took a breath and indicated the back of the room with her thumb.
"I want to show you one thing, okay?
There is another door in this room that leads to the back.
Erica opened both of those open doors by pressing with her left and right hands.
Following her, I step into the room, too.
"This is..."
It was sitting in the center of the room at the
"Carriage, huh?
"Or should I call it a tank?"
When it comes to tanks, it's not an array of shells or catapillas.
It's like a battle carriage called a chariot.
But there is also a strong impression that it is a "carriage" because there is a passenger car part.
On the other hand, I can also nod that Erica said ”tank”.
Because the black body is clearly a conscious construction of the presence of external enemies.
"I used this when Erica came to the Demon Belt." The Demon Tank. "... After my contract with Renault Redo expired, I thought I might use it again, so I took it..."
"Hey, you want to give this to us?
"Here.” Right! Right!? Hey Toka, I'm so jealous of this tank!? "What are you gonna do, just show off with self-satisfaction..."
Was the little play sandwiched between them necessary?
However,
…………
It's a big body there.
I mean - stand out.
This makes it easier to find them from demons on the move.
Not suitable to travel discreetly.
but it can't be that Erica hasn't noticed there.
That means
"Is there anything special about this tank?
- It's a perception inhibition.
"Are you saying that this tank and its surroundings will become unrecognized?
"Yeah, as an interpretation, that's not wrong"
Again, I turned to the tank.
"... I see"
The effect is breaking.
"But there's about a third more power left in this demon tank. I used two-thirds of it when I came here."
"I can't refill," he said.
Hands on your hips, dripping Erica.
"The ancient secret magic guide is characterized by the absence of the same power. That's why you can't build a magic guide with the same power. No... Instead of making it, I can't even figure out how to replenish it with this anaoro frog. I regret it."
So-called lost-tech stuff?
"So, can we use all the rest of that power?
"Fine. Erica thinks of other ways to escape."
Erica approaching the tank.
"The problem... is that the magic creature that pulled this demon tank so far was useless when it arrived here. And it takes a lot of years to rub it in."
In other words:
"Depends on Slay, huh?"
"If it's that strange third form of warcraft, I think I can..."
He showed Erica the third form of Slay the other day.
In the end, I didn't know the details of Slay.
But it seems certain that a contraindicated witch is such a warcraft that she wraps her tongue around it.
Chest stretching Erica.
"Either way, it's fascinating not to find about half of the Northern Demon Belt from the demons and move on, isn't it?
…………
Though rough calculations......
Approximately half of the Northern Demon Belt can pass without encountering demons.
I would say this is definitely fascinating.
So you can get rid of it when you go half way...
It's just this demon tank - no, it has an aggressive shape.
I can also check the area like the ejection spear.
According to Erica, besides perception inhibition, it also has several offensive capabilities.
So it may depend on the usefulness of its attack capability to get rid of it.
"Besides this demon tank, there are contraindicated witch handmade demon guides. It's just a prototype for experimentation, so it's like running out of stuff due to durability issues... but for once, I'm going to give it to you by choosing something that looks like it could be used from among them"
"Was that what you were looking for in that mountain earlier?"
I hear that mountain was a pile of Erica's handmade magic guides.
... I thought it was crap because it was so cluttered.
"Most of them are not intended for long-term use, so think there is a limit to the number of times."
"Whatever it takes to be a force of war. By the way, can you carry this tank to the ground?
"Stop laughing. It's Erica Anaolobael, right? You don't think I'm thinking there? Don't worry, the Golem will carry it."
Hung, and get used to the nose.
"Exactly."
"Oh, and... when you dive in as mercenaries, you name the Fly King no Battle Regiment, right?
"? Oh."
"Wait, wait, wait."
That's what I'm gonna say. Erica leaving the room.
So much less, she came back with a single golem pulled.
They have something in their arms that looks like black clothes.
Erica let me spread one of them out.
"What is it because of this, and what if I get a big feel for it?
The revealed robe, however...... emitted an atmosphere suitable for King Fly and his subordinates.
The robe for me and the robe feels like a particularly evil parent compared to the robe of the Great Sage.
But it doesn't seem to go badly with the mask.
But only in the element of "evil like a protégé.”
"Are you picking up the demon belt?
"Originally. I've re-tailored that to Erica. Really, I was thinking I'd give it to you when I left here... how about that? Isn't that cool?"
I was so excited about the conversation.
I have no heart or my eyes sparkle.
His nose was rough, too.
As usual, I don't laugh, but I look happy.
It's called the Eve or Liz clothes thing......
Maybe you like tailoring clothes or something.
"Well, not a bad hobby."
Erica shows me the lining.
Somehow, it was the push of a mail order show.
"It's not just the way you look, is it? It combines practicality perfectly. It's braided with black lion (kuroshishi) gummy yarn, so it's durable and refractory."
Keep explaining it well, Erica.
They say it takes a lot of work to get a coat for Cellas and Eve.
I touched an almost painful shoulder wound.
Oh, with that kind of protective gear, I might be able to prevent these injuries as well.
Besides...
I compare robes to other jackets.
…………
This united outpouring.
At last, it looks like the "Fly King no Battle Regiment".
All right, I'll give you my hand.
"Erica Anaolobael's handmade armor… Let me use it as a" Fly King no Battle Regiment "
